held and the election of officers. The re-
ports of the various committees were
read and accepted. Resolutions were

the Worlds S. S. convention. At its
close the congregation Joined in singing
and DIR. Ostrander gave an address on
"Verbal, object and blackboard illustra-
ton" He gathered sticks, leaves, ETC.,
on his way to the church and used them
to show how much material lay all about
us if we only made use of it. The illustra-
tions with these commonplace things
were interesting in the extreme. He used
cOlored crayons on the blackboard and
answered various questions as to the use
of Illustration. The lecture was one of
the most interesting of the whole conven-
tion. The devotional meeting came last.
The subject, "My presence shall go with
thee" is found in Ex. 33 IA. The service
lasted half an hour, at the close of which
the session was adjourned with the bene-
diction by Rev. DIR. Ostrander until 80
p. m.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The session began at o'clock with a
prayer and praise service. The subject,
"COme before His presence with sing
ing" is found in Psalms 1902. At the
close of this service Vice-President Sher-
burne introduced Rev. Ii. A. Starks of
Burlington, who gave some fine thoughts
upon "rhe use of the imagination in the
work of the Sunday school," The speaker
carried his point clearly and distinctly by
showing that all the grand achievements
of man are the product of the imagina-
tiOn. His illustrations were taken from
the Bible. Singing followed his remarks
and then Rey. II. G. Falr rar, d. D., spoke
most forcibly upon the Nineteenth
century factor" Men of character, he
said, is the demand of the times. Where
will the supply come from to meet this
demand? 1t will not come from society,
for all that society does for man is to
dress him in the height of the tailor's art
and to trim him out a dude, a valueless
production. No, society does not furnish
men who will grapple with the great
problems that are absorbing the atten-
ton of thoughtful men to-day. Will
they come from the public schools? A
place where the making system teaches
dishonesty and theft? | don't look
for them there. MY only hope of
Americanizing the everlasting tide of
foreigners who come to our shores with
their continental ideas of church and
state, which are not in sympathy with
our free institutions, is from the Sunday
school. There we are TO look for the
men and women who are to mould and
form the character of our nation. The
speaker held his audience closely through
the entire address and when he closed
none were satisfied, but all wanted more

uNLEAvENED BREAD.
How It Is Baked Under the Supcrvlston
OF New York's Grand Rabbi

How 1t Is Baked Under the Supcrvlslon
OF New York's Grand Rabbi.
Matte is the German word for the
thin, fat disks OF unleavened bread
which the Hebrews eat, in celebration
of the feast of the Passover. The best
matte biscuit in New York City, and
that preferred by all strictly orthodox
Jews, is made by hand under the SUI
pervision of the Grand Rabbi Joseph
Before this eminent rabbi came hero
from Russia, mates were made by
machinery. Even now they are so
made by certain Hebrew rabbis, but
that is contrary to all customs and
tradition. In the Norfolk street ba-
kerry. where Grand Rabbi Joseph's ap-
proved matte is made, sixty girls and
women are employed. The flour
from which the dough is made is
specially ground in mill at West
Nyack by Jews. from carefully
selected wheat. Great care is
taken that no impurities get
into the wheat. After 1t is ground,
sample is carried to Grand Rabbi
Joseph, and he approves Of 1t II 1t
meets his requirements. With his
consent it is put in clean new barrels
and brought to the bakeshop. The
barrels OF flour are slowed carefully
alongside the wall. Two men knead
the dough in wooden dishes one car
ries -four and another water from op
posite corners. There is one man to
ladle the -four from the bin into the
wooden dough-tray, another to pour a
cup of water into the tray afterward.
II Is absolutely necessary that there
should be two men, as, II only one
were employed, specl1s of flour would
get into the water. and drops OF water
into the flour, and the -four might
get sour. The two men rest while not
pouring flour or water into the dough-
trays and until the dough is carried
into the adjoining room. The dough
is kneaded hard. and care is taken to
prevent impurities from getting into
it anywhere. 1t is now roll OF
dough weighing about ten pounds.
This is cut into chunks by one
man, and carried by another to tho
women, who proceed to roll out the
chunks into fat dough. Men pick up
the fat pieces and toss them to another
set of men, who roll over them two
sets of wheels, impressing little dia-
monds on the biscuits. They are then
placed upon ladle. Another man
keeps showing them into an oven, pull
ing them out and tossing them upon
tables. The women first hatten the
dough with their hands. While this is
done, Hebrew comes with sand-paper
and glass and removes any specks of
dough from the rolling-pins. The
women stand close together and beat q
continuous tattoo upon the board. The
baking of mates can only be carried
on during daylight The Mates sold
Mt this bakery bring eleven and twelve
cents pound, while the machine
made fetch six and seven cents. just
before Passover finer and more cost

Pure Altar Of Roses.

The rose gardens of Ghazepore, q
town OF British India, are fields in
which small rose bushes are planted in
rows. In the morning they are red
with blossoms, but before midday
these are all gathered and their leaves
distilled in clay stills, with twice their
weight in water. The water which
comes over is placed in open vessels,
covered with moist muslin cloth, to
keep out the dust and flies, and ex-
posed all night to the cool air. In the
morning thin film Of oil has collected
on the top. which is swept of with q
feather. and carefully transferred to o
small phial. This is repeated night
after night till nearly the whole of the
oil is separated from the water.

COUNTERFEIT DIMES.

Queer Coins That Are Being Passed on
tho Unsuspecting Public.
Every now and then the counterfeit
ers OF small coins "work lead" and
shove considerable amount OF bogus
silver on the unsuspecting public. BY
the time their presence, or the pres
ence OF the "queer" stuff becomes
well known to the community they
quit handling it and generally escape
arrest by departing for pastures fresh.
there to repeat their unlawful opera
tions Sometimes they tarry trihe
too long and are arrested, and again
they are not entirely adroit enough
and are caught in the act OF passing
the counterfeits. But as rule they
are very smooth citizens of such
rough and unsophisticated appearance
as to not attract attention. and most
OF them get away without being
caught.
just now 1t seems as IL one OF tho
small gangs Of silver-coin counterfeit
ers or their showers had recently paid
Louisville a visit, and possibly the
manipulators are still here 1t has
been remarked by several persons in
the past few days, that there are quite
number OF counterfeit dimes of the
issue OF 1887 in circulation in this city.
The counterfeits are said to be the
most perfect ever seen here. The
work on the dime is accurate, the lines
being as clear as II stamped in the
United States Mint The metal is the
right color, and is of about the proper
weight. Even If it is a triae light, a
dime. being such small coin, the
weight is not noticed. The only way
to tell the difference between the genu-
ire and this counterfeit is by the ring
of the metal. The genuine has a
sharp, silvery tone while there is alb
solutely no sound which can be con-
strued into ring about the counter
felt The dime has not the greasy
feeling. by which most people tell
counterfeit silver coins. A great deal

At the present time, outside of the

There are about one hundred in Mon.

some at the head Of Dry creek and the
remainder at the head of Porcupine
creek. In Wyoming there are a few
stragglers from the National Park, which,
when chased, run back there for protec-
ton. In the mountains of Colorado
last summer there were two punches of
mountain bison, one OF twenty-five head
and the other Of eleven. These have
