Music in
Church..
Some people con-
ceive it to be a relig-
ious duty to head off
tho tandpDnV RI ODpr-


attic music i'm churches. and there is an
attempt in certain quarters to give eff
feet to their convictions by organiza-
ton. This is matter that has no sec
tartan features. This objection to the
music is found in both Protestant and
Catholic churches. Pulpits often refer
to the music as part of the devotional
exercises, and for those who enjoy. the
most artistic melodies there is plous
complacency in the conception that
they are gaining celestial favor while
pleasing themselves. No doubt good
music is an inducement to some to go
to church, and when there the theory IS
that the preacher may get in a moral
prod here and there. The fathers IN
this country were predjudiced against
instrumental music in the churches,
but they are about all translated ana
their posterity go to the other extreme

worship.

Howell Osborne Again in Luck.


The fluctuations in the fortunes OF
Howell Osborne are source of peren-
NAL gossip in Paris. 1t is no secret
that the young man returned to New
York a few months ago OH double

ments for the temperance on the stage
of Fay Templeton, who, it is claimed, is
Mrs. Osborne in private. and the other

Osborne proved to be fat, complaisant
and content, despite the fact that he
owed nearly 100000 francs in Paris,
and that everything he had was
practically in pawn there. He has an
income of $4,000 year, payable quar-
terly. He did not succeed In getting
hold of any fresh funds while in New
York, but he arrived in Paris stimuli
taDeously with his second remittance OF
the year. and he made one or two deS-
perate plunges on the turf. He was
successful, and his success has been
following him ever since. Recently be.

Fred Gebhard's Good Fortune.

While many an astute and careful
student of thoroughbred horses has
gone to pieces On the shoals, Frederick
Gerhard has sailed clear and free, and
one of his horses has captured more
prizes and made more money for him
than the entire stables of some OF the
Older millionaires. 1t is not entirely
luck, either. Gerhard is good judge
of horsefesh. He has been generous
and fair with his trainer and Jockey,
and Volunteer has not yet been allowed
to do an inch more work than necessary.
The humane and sensible manner in
which the horse has been managed for
two years now has made it as hard as
nails. and as sound as a nut. 1t would
be shrewd man who could calculate
exactly how much the animal has won
in stakes and bets for Mr.. Gerhard this
season, but it is safe to say that very
few men would place the amount at
fess than $4,000.

Good wheat may be grown on poor
clay soil, provided it be got in proper
mechanical condition. 1t is not infre-
1uently the case that clay soil is rated
poor, not because its fertility is exhausted,
but because it has become hardened by
loss Of vegetable matter, and what fer
tility it contains is locked up in clods. If
the field has been in hoed crops and we'll
cultivated, we should not hesitate to SOW
1t with wheat by adding a little phos-
phate to restore the available mineral
plant food that the crop grown this year
has exhausted. Ifphosphate were added,
and the corn or potato crops were got
off early enough, there is no reason why

BETHEsDA.s POOL.
Recent Explorations Said to Have Recov-
cred the Water.


A Washington special to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says: The American
Consul at Jerusalem, Mr.. Gilman,
sends to the State Department an ac-
count Of the recovery of the famous
Pool of Bethesda As is well known,
the Birket Israel has in the past been
considered as the site Of the Bethesda,
but the excaN ations Of the Algerine
monks under the ruins in the rear of
the Crusader Church of ST. Anne have
gradually transferred opinion in favor
of the latter locality. This was
strengthened by the discovery OF rock
hewn pool containing water benesth
three successive structures. Subse.
quent excavations revealed the remains
of two tiers of tiye-arched porches, the
lower tier being in the pool.
The Intelligent labors Of the monks
who are in charge of the property have
been further rewarded by the re-
cent recovery of another pool contain
ing a good supply of water to the west
ward of that first discovered. the enti
agreeing with the descriptions OF the
Bethesda as given by the fathers of the
writers as early as the fourth century.
The correspondence in number of the
five porches to those mentioned in the
GOSPEL of st. John will not escape
notice. Steps cut IN the rock lead
down into the water. An ancient
Christian church in ruins surmounts
the entire structure. The remains Of
the upper tier of porches extend above
tie poul at right angles from the north
wall of the crypt beneath the church,
in which the apse, at the east end,
though dilapidated, is still distinctly
defined.
On clearing away the debris that
choked the fifth porch westward OF the
apse all these discoveries eliminated in
revealing the remain1 of painting or
fresco upon the plaster of the wall in
the rear, The fresco represents an
angel as if descending into and troub-
ling the waters. which latter is de-
picted by conventional zigzag and
wavy lines of an olive-green, shaded
with black, more suggestive of Egyptian
hieroglyphics than of modern art, and
surrounding the figure on every side.

destroyed, probably by the Moslems,
after their habit in the early days of
their power. So. also, the face of the
nigel, which has been battered so as to
be completely obliterated
The glory or nimbus above the head,
painted an orange yellow, still remains,
but little injured. The edge of the
pool appears to be indicated by broad
;ed line, inclosing the painting, and
having au occasional rectangular pro-
iection into the water, perhaps repre-
Ienting steps or the piers for the
porches On the east of this fifth
barreled arch-the wall extending at
right angles-are the remains of an
>ther figure, also in fresco, much de-
aced, and supposed to represent the
Saviour Above the head, evidently in
entionally mutilated, is portion of

WAYS OF WEEDS.

There are three classes of weeds, rs I'd
their duration, namely: Those that live
for one season only, those remaining for
two years, and third and very large
group, the members of which continue
their existence indefinitely and ale known
as perennial plants. All these that belong
to the first group are ANNALS, and it is
evident that if these plants are kept from
maturing their seeds there will be an end
TO them uuless-and here is the impor-
tant poiut-seeds arc not sown with the
crop, as is often the case, or they are
brought in by the winds or other agen-
cies for their transfer. Of course the
soil may already be stocked with the
seeds that remain dormant for many years
until favorable conditions for their ger
mination obtain. The biennials live for
two years and the same rule as to seed
ing, or preventing their seed formation
holds here as with the ANIMALS. Peren-
NAL weeds, other things being equal, are
the worst Of all, for when they are once
in the land they hold their own and yearly
produce a new crop of seeds if the chance
is given them. They must be kept from
yielding seed, and then if the plant itself
is to be eraiicated one of many methods
may be observed. If large they may be
pulled if small the leaves cut off; but
the best of all is to practice repeated till
age. Grow hoed crop, and not fail to
