Z" EMPTY PEws" was the subject of an
essay read by Rev. DIR. McCauley re-
Gently at San Francisco before the Meth
odist Preachers Association. 1t was
painful, he said, to witness the micro
scopic proportions of many of their con-
gregations in that and other cities. He
advocated a change from old methods
in other words, pOpularizing church
work by having "a lively service, simple
gospel hymns and hearty choruses, and
a short vigorous sermon in which a spade
was called a spade" This method is
being adopted in Honolulu, with what
ultimate result remains to be seen. An
old-fashioned idea is that a plain and
faithful gospel sermon might be tried
once in while by way of novelty. 1t
might probably "draw good house, -
although it would lack the prerequisite
OF liveliness.

Hardness Of French Women

l have been especially struck by the
hardness of the French woman and
the strength Of her constitution. Un-
less she belongs to the idle and luxu-
rlous class OF French women. she will
get through an extraordinary amount
OF work in day. eat and drink very
sparingly, go about in the depth of
winter will. scarcely any more clothing
upon her than in summer, rush from
highly heated rooms into freezing
air and do al manner of imprudent
things and apparently get no harm by
1t. In French schools it frequently
happens that English girls fall seriously
i'll in winter because they try to do all
that their French companions do and
their constitutions are not equal to the
strain. The French woman is endowed
by nature with almost inexhaustible
energy and a resisting power which
admirably fit her for the battle of life.
When she is thrown upon her own re-
sources it rarely happens that she does
not make living somehow. She has
what she calls nervous attacks"
through over excitement, but it is very
seldom that she falls into the low
melancholy state that invariably goes
with inactivity. The Frenchman, it
may be explained, has nothing like the
grit in him that the Frenchwoman
possesses. He Is much more given to
self-indulgence, and maybe this is the
whole explanation.

Mushroom Culture in England.

Mushroom growing has greatly in
creased in England during the last
three years, chiefly owing to the publ
cation, in 1888, Of little book, Mush.
rooms for the Million" by Mr.. J.
Wright. In a supplement to the fourth
edition Of this valuable book the author
states that a farmer in the Midlands.
acting on the instructions given, sold
in 1885 mushrooms to the value of $500.
and so, for the first time during years
Of depression, was able to show a bal
ance on the right side of his farming
accounts. There is no doubt as to the
great profitableness of mushroom culti-
walton when it is properly managed.
Colonel Gascoigne, of Darlington hall,
near Leeds, obtained profit of e64 Is.
1Od. from 1Gi yards OF mushroom beds,
although forty-two yards failed entirely
through mistake in management. 1t
is estimated that the quantity Of mush-
rooms marketed in England has
doubled since 1883. Still, large and
increasing quantities are imported
from France, in spite of the fact that
English mushrooms are greatly supe-
rior to French. Price has fallen by
about Is per cent. during the last three
years, owing to the increased supplies,
but they are still highly remunerative
to successful growers. The consump-
ton would be large" than it is if retail
prices were reasonable. 1t is complained
that greenyrocera. often charge Is. Cd.
per pound. or more, when the whole
sale price is lOd. The injurious effects
which sometimes follow Tie eating of
mushrooms are generally owing to
staleness, pntrefaction having COM
menced, and it is important to buyers
to bear III mii.si thc fact that when the
pink color OF the gill, of fresh fun
-sus has changed to black it is very
stale. When only brown it is not too
stale to be eaten Nit'i safety.

as strange mystery as it was to the
Iirst European traveller who observed
it. Towards the end of June a few
scattered specimens are discovered fit

Indian Picture-writing.

Henry Eckford, in st. Nicholas for March
Let us see how an Indian of North America
goes to work to write.
Suppose wild Indian belonging to the
great clan whose members call themselves
the Turtles, makes a raid on a village of huts
and wigwams owned by enemies belonging
to the widespread clan called the Bear clan
Suppose 1t has taken the Turtles three days
of hard travel through forests and over the
hills to reach the Bears. By means of their
crafty spies, they find that the brave men of
the Bears are away hunting moose, and that
most of the squaws and pappooSes are either
in the fields of maize or in the woods where
the berries are ripe, and only few old men
and women are left behind to keep watch
over some ponies and oxen. Then the Tur-
ties, each ciutching his bow creep on the
village under cover of the woods, and with
terrific yell rush at the wigwams. The old
people run into the bushes, frightened al
most to death, as you can well imagine.
Then the Turtles gather up all the ponies and
oxen, drive them off, burn all the wigwams
they can, and hurry home with the cattle.
Now these Savages think they have done
quite fine thing in robbing their neighbors
Of their cattle and plundering and burning
their homes, as does one great patton in Eu-
rope, when, like our Turtle chieftain badly
cOunseled by wicked and ambitious men, it
robs another OF a great province, and
forces the wretched people who dwell there
to obey tie laws of a nation they dis
like. And they wish to let other Indians
know what clever robbers they have been.
So the Turtle chief chooses piece of smooth,
eam-colOred birch-bark chews up a little
tobacco to serve as ink, plucks twig of soft
wood for pen, and with the tobacco juice
draws the following pictures:-
First comes a turtle, and it is a very big
turtle, because he thinks that he and his
clan are very great personages indeed. Then
he draws as many waving lines, to represent
bows, as there are Indians in his party and
perhaps the same number of Indians with
top-knots; his lines bend forward to show IN
what direction the trail went. Following
these, a rising sun stands for daybreak, and
three lines under it mean that three days
went by it going to the Bears. Next, he puts
down as many funny little pyramids as
there were Bear wigwams, and draws them
upside DOWN to show that they were Destroy
ed. After that, he draws, as well as he can,
a wee, wee bear, very small, in order to show
his contempt for the bears. Finally, he
draws with the greatest care as many oxen
and ponies as he has captured, because he is
chiefly proud of this part of his exploit and
wishes all the world of the woods to know
what q great and successful robber he is
He does not tell that the Bear braves were
away when he surprised the camp, and prob
ably does not care to tell that part of the
story. We may understand it from the abb
sence of any sign for scalps. Had there
been resistance and men slain on either side,
the exact number of dead would have been
noted by drawing Just as many human fig
ures without their heads.

How We Played "word Stories"

ID.
Most words have a story of their own,
sometimes quite a romantic one, often phil
osophic, always suggestive; frequently tax
ing the one who would explore for himself
away down deep into the roots of things.
To trace them, follow them up, look into
their derivations and combinations, hunt up
the compounds and cOllaterals and find out
incidents about them is a study absolutely
inexhaustible; and that 1t may become a
pleasant pastime you shall see.
Our company was made up of two elderly
persons, several in the sophomore GLASS,
from the college close by, and three high
school girls. The elders had the advantage
of much reading and experience; but the
others had something quite as available, for
they were fresh from their Latin. German
and French; and the proposition, by the by,
come from one of these young damsels who
thought that there was romance enough
about language to make il worth while to
look into it. Our chief tools were two big
dictionaries unabridged; and some modern
school books were resorted to as helps. We
began alphabetically, and for our first
experiment (if 1 may call it SOY selected
words beginning with A. OF course pictur-
esque words were chosen, not dry adverbs or
propositions or such as nothing special could
be made of; and the idea was for such to
find out everything possible about the spec
ial word he or she had picked ont; what it
was QerlN6Q lIODl, anu any COuncC-
ted with it, including the reading of any
poem or quotation from the poets where it
was especially the subject. You will at once
perceive that this brought into exercise not
only research but the critical discriminating
faculties, and that the horizon widened and
widened as we went on, and that we found
ourselves in the very best company.
Now. for an illustration, let me tell you 9
little about the experience with the letter O..
The list brought in was one of the most pic
turesque; and at one word-the hrst-we
were away back in the region Of romance and
poesy, of history and tyranny. The list be-
gan with curfew, and the one who had
chosen it Immediately gave the derivation
and explained what the couvre-few was-"an

young CoupIe,s Dilemma.

NEW HAVEN, March 13.-A few evenings since
Justice of the Peace married young couple who
are very well known in this city. The lady's par
ents had forbidden her to see the young man.
Their plan was to go to New York as soon as the
groom could raise money. The young lady is a
Catholic and insisted on being married by priest
The pastor of one Of the leading churches was
called upon, and when he was told that the cou-
pie had been once married by Justice OF the
Peace, he asked to see the certificate. 1t was
handed to him and he Immediately tore IL up and
refused to marry them. The groom is afraid to
inform his wife's parents of the state OF affairs
and wants to elope, but the wife won't go until
she has been married by priest. The Justice
who married them is the only other party who
knows OF their identity, and he refuses to make
public the names.
