THE wHIRLlGIG OF TIME.

The evening choral service at Holy Trinity church, Middletown, on We'd nesCay, the 20th inst was conducted by five vested choirs numbering 176 voices. In the morning there was a choral cele- bration of holy communion, the music of which was sung by the choir of Trinity church, Bridgeport, numbering 34 voices.
 It may be taken for granted that any remaining prejudice against vested choirs composed of men and boys must shortly disappear from the Episcopal body, as the early fog melts before the rising sun.
 In 1871 the Rev Cyrus F. Mcknight, now bishop of Milwaukee, then rector of St James, Hartford, introduced a boy choir. In that day every little step of that kind in the improvement of the service was looked upon as containing a "Romanizing germ,'' and Mir Meningitis action terribly alarmed the rectors and laity of the other Episcopal parishes in that city. But as each parish was inde- pendent of another, nothing could be done by the others to stay this wave of Catholicism. In their anxiety and fright the rectors appealed to Bishop Williams, who had no rights in the case, to interfere in their behalf, and as the genial bishop then was somewhat anxious lest his diocese should become tinctured with ritualism,. 'Romanism in disguise" he went beyond his authority and wrote to Mir Mcknight a letter of protestation, which resulted in pro- longed controversy on paper, towards the close of which the bishop acknow- ledged that he was acting for the other Hartford rectors. Mir Mcknight did not scare cents worth.
 To-day every Episcopal choir in Hart ford has vested choir of men and boys, excepting that of the church of the Good Shepherd, which has mixed choir of boys and girls Bishop Nc Knight, as bishop of Milwaukee, presided over a diocese which from his cathedral to the plain county parish church is tinctured very strongly with Anglo Catholicism, the practices of which are in palpable violation of the canon passed in 1874 to kill it, and are designed to emphasize the doctrinal belief of that growing party Tn the Episcopal church.
 Time brings its revenges Bishop Will hams has been elected president of the choir guild of Connecticut, composed of the choirs taking part in the late service at Middletown. and Mir Mcknight, in- stead of being the subject of the Episco- pal thumb screw, presides over a diocese where even the confessional has become familiar object.

 LONDON, Nov. 2s.-Sir Henry James has just finished his argument in behalf of the Times before the Parnell Spe- cial Commission and in view of the ut ter collapse of his clients case almost at the outset, and the numerous ob- stacles against which he has had to con- tend, it must be said that his speech, as a whole, was masterful effort.
 His operation, regarded from any point of view, was pathetic, and, with the facts in his favor, he would have carried conviction to many waver- ing minds, but the outcome of the testi- mony having placed him on the defen- sive, his compulsory recourse to spacious pleas rendered his eloquence nugatory, and well-nigh carried his pathos into the bounds of bathos.
 This was particularly the case when he referred with sadness of expression and demeanor to the history Of Ireland, and lapsed into solictitude for the well fare of true Irish patriots in tho future, while the baneful influence of revolu- ton and separationists shall preponder- ate. Inasmuch as Sir Henry himself has gone to the extent of his ability in his endeavors to make life miserable to these same patriots, not even his fine periods and earnest manner could di- vest the effect of his words of absurdity.
 It is expected that the final report of the Commission will be presented to Parliament in February, the thirteenth month of the duration of the court. h icL f0r of hearing arguments or taking testimony 12S dayS

The Mechanical Arts.

We have seen how the literary edu-
cation which we now consider so es-
sential was regarded in England-as UNI
gentlemanly. 1t is not so long since
the physician or leech was, as Hallam
says, IAN inexhaustible theme OF popu-
lar ridicule." The BARRIERS pole, so COM
mon in our streets, recalls time, not
so long past, when the barber practiced
blood-letting and other medical arts.
It is within our own memory that aae
barber; indeed, the two were often the
same person. How is it that all this Is
changed, that literature, medicine and
dentistry have become gentlemanly oc-
equations? Simply, think, because
they are now thought scientifically and
institutions have been established for
that purpose. 1t may be laid down as
a general rule that whatever is taught
In school will soon become respectable
and gentlemanly, while that which is
picked up in the house or the workshop
will always be regarded as menial.-

Benefits Of Going Barefooted.

l consider the following, taken from
the London Lancet, very sensible and
worthy the respectful attention OF par
ents. have ever found the writer's
views confirmed by personal experience
with my own children:
Children who are allowed to go
barefooted enjoy almost perfect immu-
nifty from the danger of cold by acct
dental chilling of the feet, and they
are altogether healthier and happier
than those who, in obedience to the
usages of social life. have their lower
extremities permanently invaded and,
so to say, carefully swathed and put
away in rigid cases. As regards the
poorer classes of children, there can
be no sort OF doubt in the mind OF any
one that it is incomparably better they
should go barefooted than wear boots
that let in the wet, and stockings that
are nearly always damp and foul"
There could be added to the above the
testimony Of many eminent physicians,
who give as an additional reason the
impossibility Of child's foot growing
naturally, shod, as it has to be, with
the conventional shoe.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
Why IL Is Unjust to Judge a Mans
Life by Its Exceptions.

A single brick, If it be an exception
al brick, is not "a fair test of the whole
structure" This is true whether the
brick Is far above or far below the
average. Because u man has once in
his life sunk down below his true char
acter, If he has risen again never more
to sink, it is not fair TO sneeringly sin
gle out that blemish as specimen OF
his manhood; and because y man has
risen once in life to extraordinary lofty
achievement, If he has fallen back to
his cwn level never more to rise, it is
not fair to refer with pride to that
achievement as a specimen OF his
strength. While it is true that man
is no stronger than his weakest point.
when that point Is involved in
the testing, yet that weakest point
may be now entirely eliminated
from his character, leaving behind
nothing but the ugly surface-blemish
! on his record; and while it is true that
/, what we have done once we can gem
orally do again, yet II, as q matter Oh
fact, we have never succeeded in doing
it again, it is not fair to credit our
selves with a present ability which
does not in reality appear to exist
To ferret our past mistakes and fasteu
,, them on another's character as its
label, or to herald an isolated past
achievement as a sample of our present
power. is to reverse the first principle
of truth, and make the exception the
rule. How much harm and injustice
are done by such unsound Judgment
To be fair, and to make legitimate de-
auctions, one must judge character,
q principle, tendency, at its normal
best, not from the highly forced single
success-still less from its poorest IL

CreanerieS.

The benefit of the creamery to the
farmers interested is worthy of note for
the instruction of all who are concern
ed in the production of milk. The fol-
lowing example will afford a subject
Tor careful consideration. It is a
creamery in Pennsylvania, and is
owned by the neighboring farmers.
The stock is made up of 400 shares of a
par value of $40 each. The share
holders select five directors to serve
one year. In six months, ending May
81, 1850, 762 pounds of milk were re-
ceived. and SS,975 pounds of butter
were made, equal to A Is pounds per
100 of milk; $24, 592 were paid out for
milk, equal to $1.20 per 100 pounds,
Or 8 cents per quart. The working
expenses were $2,S39.66. SKINNED
milk is sold to the customers for one
third of a cent per quart. All this has
been done to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. The results may be summed
up as follows: Twice as many cows
are kept as before; the cows are much
improved in quality-the evidence OF
this is that the milk produces 1-3 per
cent of butter; the farmers wives are
relieved OF heavy and engrossing
labor; the farms are greatly increased
in fertility and productiveness; the in
come of the farmers is increased, while
the cost of making the butter is largely
reduced
A creamery of the character of that
above mentioned affords an example
Of cooperative and associated in
dustry of the most useful and profitable
kind. A farmer working alone labors
under exceeding great and varied diff
faculties. His expenses are needlessly
quadrupled, his labor is doubled,
while his income is largely eaten up
by the expenses. A very large sum of
money. invested in apparatus, imple-
ments, machines and live stock lies
useless and is unproductive the great
er part of the year, not to speak of the
deterioration in value from this dis
use. Under the present state of BUSH
ness and the general industry, farming
is loaded down with great burden of
expenses which prevents its successful
competition with other industries.
Alone the farmer is weak and COM
