give, and when it has the mantle of per-
feet silence thrown about it is particularly
so. There are about fifty deaf mutes in
Chicago, who worship once a month IN
St. James church, Cass and Huron
streets. The Rev. A. w. Mann, himself
deaf mute, who has been nearly twelve
years in the pulpit, is the rector, his field
embracing the entire country bounded by
the Alleghanies on the east, the Ohio river
on the south and Kansas on the west. OF
the &c. 900 deaf mutes in the United States,
5000 are communicates in the various
dioceses which the Rev. DR.. Mann minis
tiers to.
''Choose ye this day whom We viii
serve' was DR.. Mann's text. There was
prayer-silent prayer-offered by the fin
gers, while the piano in the room below
peeled forth q Sabbath school melody
joined by hundred voices, but the noise
did not disturb the silent worshipers.
Then the litany was repeated, the congre

no choir, no organ, no music to stir the
soul to religious thoughts. And then,
when the rector had fairly launched out
in his sermon and from appearances was
growing eloquent, the wife of Dr. Vibbers
came into the room with her large Bible
class of young ladies, and the noise which
usually attends such exercises was begun,
but the discourse went on increasingly,
the fingers of the Rev. DR.. Mann Jerking
and jumping and clutching and gesticu-
lating with almost lightning rapidity. His
auditors watched their movements with
the most intense interest, their faces
sometimes clouded as if listening to the
description of some horrible thing, and
then again an expression Of JOY would
seem to follow some dexterous movement
of the silent preacher. When he had de-
livered himself of some eloquent peroration
the rector would stop a moment, presum-
ably giving his observers time to compre-
bend, and then he would beat the palm
of his left hand with the cinched fist of
the right several times, and this he would
follow by several reflective mods of the
head, as if signifying Eyes, yes; that Is
it," or "that is true. '-Chicaeo News.

and take them to the barn, when oppor-
tunity for an old fashioned 'corn husk-

folks. In husking in the field on cold
day the stalks often fail of proper care.
They should be set up so securely that
they will not get blown over before they
are Ied out. Select the seed at husking
time, if not done earlier; leave enough
husks attached to the cars to allow them
to be braided together to be hung out of

PARIS GREEN POISONING BEES.

An important legal question will prob
ably arise soon over the right of fruit
growers to spray apple and other fruit
trees with water continuing Paris green,
while the trees are in blossom. Bees
searching the flowers for honey take the
poison into their systems and arc killed.
This is, perhaps, Il fortunate fact, for if
bees merely collected honey, instead of
manufacturing it, this poisoned honey
might be stored in their cells, and poison
thos" who consumed it. The spraying,
even of the apple, need not be dNnc
while the trees arc in blossom. 1t is true
that the codling moth usually deposits
her eggs in the blossom end of the apple,
but until the fruit is as large as walnut,
the blossom end is turned upward. After
this the weight of the apple bends the
fruit over. Between the time of blossom
ing and the fruit bending down with its
own weight, the spraying may be done
without danger Of Injury to bees. There
is, therefore, no incompatibility between
the ruit-growing and honey producing
industries if the proper precautions are
