Artesian Wells

Artesian wells have been known for
many years, but so much interest has
been renewed in the subject by the appli.
cation OF Dakota people to have the gen
eral government assist in a scheme Of
irrigation by means of these wells, that
our readers may like to have 4 few items
regarding them. They derive their name
from the province of Artois, France, the
Latin name of which was Arten1isium.
There is i'll this province we'll that has
yielded 100000 gallons per day for more
than 100 years. At Lillers, France, is.a
we'll which has flowed steadily since II 26.
At Grenelle is we'll 1900 feet deep, which
pours out half a million gallons per day,
and as the water has temperature OF
80 degrees, it is used to heat the hospi-
tails of the place. The we'll at Passv fur
n1shes the enormous quantity of five and
a halt million gallons in each "a hours.
In the United States the chief wells are
at st. Louis, 1900 feet deep, and at Louis
VILE, 1000 feet deep. Some remarkable
wells of this character, with great flow
of water, are at Prairie du Chen, Wis,
on the line of THE Bur lington." They
possess remarkable curative powers for
many diseases, and should be widely
known. For further information about

Amuse Children While Travelling.

A lady starting on long journey with
two children placed in her satchel some
pieces of cardboard, scissors and lead
pencils. After the novelty of car riding
had worn off this wise woman produced
her treasures. One child cut the card
board into pieces three-quarters of an inch
square, the other printed on each square a
letter. The alphabet was repeated many
times. Then each formed words from the
letters and gave to the other to make out.
In this way they amused themselves for
hours.
The mother might have taken the game
from home with less trouble to herself,
but well she knew there would be more
satisfaction in making it for themselves.
Paper dolls We're cut and extensive ward
robes fashioned from bright colored paper
that had been thoughtfully provided. At
the end of the journey the passengers de-
clared the children wonderfully well be-
haved, and wished they might always
travel with such happy little people. The
fact was, the children were ordinary chill
dren, but their hours had been so pleasant
ly occupied there had been no opportunity
for becoming weary and then disagreeable

THE OLD BRIGADE REUNION.

C0mrddes:-l nave beeh requested to
call a reunion of the old brigade at Bos-
ton during the coming G. A. II. national
encampment, and | gladly do so. Others
are charged with the duty of securing a
place for meeting and making the nee
essary arrangements; but is is thought
that the call need not be delayed. we
can all meet at some rallying-point, and
the time and place for other meetings
can then be announced.
1t is just about twenty-five years since
the brigade disbanded, having done its
duty and contributed its full share to
the victories of the war. 1t is fitting
that the surviving veterans should meet
in reunion after quarter of IA century
of peace and prosperity. So let us

votion to the cause of Liberty and the

In many minor points the modern house
Of worship differs from the old. Then the
preacher occupied a lofty box and preached
down ~ his PEOPLE. Now he walks out on
a broad platform, but slightly elevated
above his hearers, and talks with them.
Then the choir was usually located in q
loft in the gallery behind the congregation.
Now singers and organ are placed before
the audience, where they can lead in fact
as well as in name.
Then the pews were private property, to
be sold, bartered and bequeathed as per-
sonal or family chattel. Archits.turally
speaking, they were high and square, and
uncomfortable. Now they are low, COM
Portable and so arranged that the occupant
of the back row has es satisfactory view
of the preacher as the one in front, and the
pews belong to the church, not to the in
dividual.
Then there was more or less potent
feeling that it was sinful to spend much
money in adjoining the place Of worship.
Now the notion prevails that not only is
the Lord to be worshiped in "the beauty Of
holiness" but in the holiness of beauty
Therefore more and more costly become
the buildings erected and more and moro

she had studied her English grammar care
fully.
"Ach yes, shall remember" she said

On one of her first visits to the shops she

said to herself. "How hospitable are the
tradespeoplel Truly, one ought not to be
homesick here! l will go in and see at this

BASEMENT PLAN BROOME STREET TABER-
NACLE.
Business men questioned the wisdom of
putting enormous sums in plant that
was only productive one day in the week.
Others said: Why not have church par
Tors where the church family can meet &C,
casionallyS Why make the clergymen
travel from a distant parsonage to his
work? Why not furnish him a home next
door to the church or under its very roof
Why not attract the young people into the
church by innocent games and wholesome
reading? Why not this in city churches
surrounded by wage earners) teach the
multitude that toll is ennobling and "clean-
illness next to Godliness?"
In answer to these questions the typical
modern church has come. 1t is built not
for show and exclusive use on Sunday, but
for every day needs. 1t has attractive read
ing rooms, gymnasium and baths posi-
bly,, parlors a kitchen with pantries) and
all the culinary utensils, linen, crockery
and table ware necessary to feed multi,
tude. Under the same roof-and if not
there then in a parish house adjoining
live the pastor and his assistants.
OF course, the great proportion of such
churches is to be found in the larger cities
and towns, and as yet form very small
fraction of the churches of the country,
but enough exist to serve as pioneers and
landmarks in the evolution of an edifice
fitted for the work of the ideal church,

FIRST CHURCH, GU1LFORD, CONN.
The modern church edifice is an evolu-
ton due to an equally striking evolution in
the popular conception of what a church is.
The old time meeting house, of which an
admirable type is seen in the First church
of Guilford, Conn, was a place where the
flock met weekly to secure spiritual
strengthening. The modern church edi-
flee is in many instances-the number Of
which is rapidly increasing-the center for
daily, almost hourly, gatherings that have
for their object spiritual culture and men
tai, physical and social betterment.
Our great grandfathers and our grand
fathers, when they departed from the Sec
ond service on the Sabbath, did not expect
to enter the sanctuary again for seven days.
Our fathers made an advance over this and
went to a midweek lecture or prayer
meeting. Now there is hardly an evening
when some members of the church going
family are not present at a gathering in the
sacred edifce.
For a long time there was no decided de-
velopment either in church life or archi-
lecture. The oblong or square structure,

THE BRooME STREET TABERNACLE.
with its one assembly room, served the
necessary purpose adequately. Here and
there a church added a smaller apartment
for the weekly lecture or prayer meeting,
but generally speaking the "plant" con-
sisted of one room.
With the advent of the Sunday school
came new needs. Neither utilizing the
one room for both services nor the holding
of the Sunday school in the basement met
the requirements Then churches began to
build chapels, either attached to or de-
tached from the main building. In these
the Sunday schools found homes, as did the
prayer meetings, and occasionally provision
was made for the pastors study.
But it was not until the realization of the
fact came that the church is to be not only
the spiritual but the mental, social and
physical culture center of influence in the
communicated that too every day in the
week-that society began to evolve rapidly
toward the form found most acceptable to-
day.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, CHICAGO.
Rising above the seats on the body of the
floor there will be two galleries with seat
ing capacity of nearly 1000. At the left Of
the auditorium on the ground floor there
will be a spacious corridor and in the rear
foyers, in which those people can stand
who are not fortunate enough to obtain
seats. On the right there will be per-
fectly appointed Sunday school room, sep
arated from the main apartment by fold
ing doors, which can be thrown open,
enlarging the capacity of the auditorium
1000 seats. The pulpit will be 35 feet in
width, elliptical in shape and 10 feet deep.
At the left of the pulpit spacious study
for DR.. Talmage has been planned, while
elsewhere are lecture rooms, class rooms,
parlors and all the modern necessities
The interior of the church in many re-
spects will be like that of most modern
theatres. The sloping floors, the great
double tier of galleries, the boxes at the
side of the rostrum, the peculiarly con-
structed and brilliantly decorated organ
and the stage like pulpit will give it that
appearance.

Church of Chicago is fair example of de-
velopment along this line in the great west.
In the picture and diagram of the lower
floors of the Broome Street tabernacle,
New York city, are seen the outlines of a
building admirably adapted for the work
of a modern church among the humber
classes. 1t was built by the City Mission
society few years ago, at cost of $40, 900.
1t serves as home for it's pastor; it has a
large and comfortable auditorium sur
rounded by class rooms that can be thrown
into the main audience room; it has gym
nasium and baths in it's basement which
are freely used and greatly appreciated by
the toilers; it has well stocked library
and reading rooms, and inspection of it's
running schedule shows that at some time
each day some part of the church is being
used for some good purpose.
Still another type of the modern church
is to be seen in the new Tabernacle which
is to be built for the Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
mage, of Brooklyn, n. Y, after plans de-
signed by j. B. Shook g. Sons, of New
York city. Here the demand is for large
seating capacity and the utilization of every
inch of room. Norman in its 81 yle of archi-
lecture, to cost Sl50,000, planned to furnish
seats for nearly 5000 people and standing
room for nearly thousand more, this
great church will in many respects be the
most remarkable in the country.

About O'Clock this morning Hum

Bernard went upstairs to wake the
roomers who were still asleep, and
among tho Others knocked on Hum

that he was not well and wanted
10 stay abed awhile. He called
for q pitcher OF water which
was given him. When Bernard went
into tho room Ilummell was lying in

bad, but said ho would get UP after

At ii3O this afternoon the clerk went

glass and morphine bottle at his side.
On the stand near by was card OH
