REV. PHILLIPS BROOKS.
The Most Rapid Orator That Ever Stood In
the American Pulpit.

The Most Rapid Orator That Ever Stood In
the American Pulpit.
Phillips Brooks is physically and men,
tally an immense man. He is several
inches taller than six feet, and the rest
of his body is large in proportion. He
has certain definite ideas of his own
about preaching, which he has put into
print. In a work which he published
on this subject he said that lin every
sermon must be the truth, but the truth
uttered through personality. This in
dicates better than any one else could
put it the mans own method. His per-
sonality determines the character of his
preaching. He is perfect reservoir of
physical and mental energy. and he dis
penses his energy in overwhelming vol
umes. He is a Niagara Of oratOry, a cata-
ract, plunging food. His flow of ideas
and words is simply immense. The most
expert stenographers find it extremely
difficult on the most favorable occa-
sions, and frequently absolutely impos-
sible, to report his sermons in entirety.
He makes very few pauses, even rush
ing ahead in his speech when the sense
of his discourse demands stop. Even
in his most solemn prayers and invoca-
tions he talks at rate which keeps the
most nimble repOrtOrial fingers on the
Jump, without intermission of any kind.
whom would rather face the dangers of
a pitched battle than to be assigned to
''take" Phillips Brooks. He never dis
plays any oratorical grace or art. He is
not an elocutionist and employs none of
the articles of rhetoric. He is impet-
uous at all times. Usually he breaches
one sermon every Sunday from manu-
script, and one without written notes of
any kind.
His manuscript is unusually clear. 1t
is written in beautiful hand. and has
hardly ever an erasure or an interlinea-
ton He can talk with equal facility
with or without notes. On Sunday in
going into the pulpit to deliver sermon
from manuscript he discovered that he
had placed in his pocket the wrong roll
Of paper. Without moments pause he
delived an original sermon to the vast
audience that he always has. and nobody

contained in the pile OF loose sheets
that lay before him. Phillips Brooks is
always intense, and nearly always
painfully so. 1t is difficult to fol-
low him in his mad rush onward
without experiencing mental discom-
fort. His voice when he begins is usu-
ally low, but it soon swells in volume
and becomes frequently thunderous. He
doesn't modulate or infect, and never
uses his powerful voice for effect Some
one said of him once: He is like An
emery wheel, constantly whiIing and
throwing of an eternal stream Of
sparks" Although rapid, he is not diff
fuse; neither is he epigrammatic, how
ever, but he is always suggestive. He is
powerful as preacher rather than IS
ateacher. He has habit Of throwing his
head up from his manuscript and pour
ing out his words. He rarely creates q
smile, uses no wit Or pathos and scorns
oratorical devices. He dislilkes to have
pictures taken Of him.-Boston Herald

A similar method may be employed with
some other fruits Pears. the finest kinds of
which are apt to rot almost Immediately
after they reach perfect maturity, may be
kept for months in glazed earthenware jars
very closely covered and placed in cool,
airy situation, out the reach of frost The
layers of fruit and individual specimens are
separated by the substances used for filling
the jars, so that rottenneSs in one may not
infect the rest. Another method is to keep
them in jars, the temperature being care
fully regulated Large gardens may be
provided with a fruit room, in which
shelves and drawers are allotted to the differ
ent kinds of fruit. A moderate aud equa-
BILE temperature, dryness and careful ventl-
lation are the principal requisites. Fruit
intended for Keeping should be carefully
gathered, when almost ripe, and all bruising
avoided.
Pears or apples shaken from the tree can
not expect to keep so well as those gathered
by the hand. OF all the succulent fruits
procured, the apples keep the best. and e
therefore more generally used Fruit in
tended for keeping may be sweated before
being place in the jars or shelves. This is
done by allowing the fruit to lie in heaps
for short time-varying according to the
kind of fruit and extending i'll the case Of
winter apples to a fortnight or more-that
some of the juice may exude through the
skin. l cannot recommend the propriety of
this practice Some kinds of winter pears
and apples can scarcely be said to be
ripened till after they are placed in the fruit
room.

Cultivating After a Rain.

After a smart shower, just enough to
moisten the soil for half inch in depth, is
just the time to cultivate corn, says the New
York Herald. The dry soil beneath will
turn up to the surface after the cultivator
and the soil may look dryer than before. Do
not be disturbed by this. 1t is not the looks,
but the benefit of the corn you are seeking.
The moisture turned under is not lest, but
preserved from evaporation, by being placed
where it is not visible. Moreover, it is just
where it is most needed to help the corn.
Two or three inches below the surface it
will bring mat of corn roots to suck it up.
Besides, the moisture in the soil will rise,
and the following morning after the cultl-
walton the surface will be quite damp. This
will be partly owing to dew condensed from
the air by contact with the colder soil.
There is an admirable adaptation of the
corn plant in providing its roots with nee
essary moisture Its leaves bend over and
every particle of rainfall on them is
dropped into the middle of the row one or
one and a half feet from the stalks. This
is lust where moisture is most needed. Ma
ture makes no mistakes. 1t is quite COM
mon for farmers to put little manure in
the hill with corn seed when they plant It.
This merely to give the young plants a start.
After few weeks the bulk Of the roots are
formed on the outer extremity of the leaves
and continue to be formed until the leaves
lap over between the rows.

Household.


The following receipts are from Table
1dik, which makes speciality Of household
matters:
TOMATO MANGOEs.-Select smooth,
medium sized green tomatoes. Cut from
the top or stem end a piece sufficiently
large to allow the removal of the seeds
without breaking the tomato. Stand them
upright in tub, with each top by the side
OF its corresponding tomato. and finish pre-
cisely the same as pepper mangoes. The
flavor of tomato maDgoes is improved by
placing here and there in the jar a pepper
mango.
CUCUMBER CATsUP.-For this choose
large, ripe cucumbers. Pare, remove the
seeds and CRATE. Toevery pint of this pulp
allow one-half pint of oder vinegar, one
quarter teaspoonful of cayenne, one tea
spoonful of salt, two heaping tablespoonfulS
of grated horse radish.
SMALL CUCUMBER PICKLEs,-Wa and
wipe 100 small cucumbers, and place them
in jars. Cover them with boiling brine,
strong enough to bear an egg; let stand "a
hours. Then take them out, place in clean
jars, and cover with hot vinegar spiced with
an onion, twelve whole cloves, one ounce
of mustard-seed, and three blades of mace.
They will be ready to use in two weeks.

Farm Notes.

If there is any value in preventing trees
from overbearing, the fact that all kinds of
fruit trees have been free from fruit this
season should give announcement for ex-
pecting unusual yield next season.
The KEEPER pear grows rapidly, and should
be trimmed back, or it will be out of pro-
portion. Like the peach tree, it becomes
bushy and stocky by judicious pruning. 1t
is hardy pear, and is seldom subject TO
blight.
The pigs narrowed this month and kept
over until next year are the ones that will
make the large hogs. Pigs should be narrowed
early enough to attain fair size before the
cold weather sets in, as very late pigs are
liable to be stunted.
Stables should be cleaned daily, ard the
bedding carefully removed, as it is absorbent
of the liquids, the retention of which re-
suits in the liberation of ammonia in the
stall. Clean floors, with clean bedding
daily, promote the comfort and thrift Of
stock.
Insects are busy now. as they are prepar-
ing for propagation and security, and the
work against them should not cease. One
of the safeguards in favor of insects is that
of not keepingithe ground clean. Harbor-
ing places are afforded by dense weeds, dried
grass and rubbish

Berry Planting in the Fall.

l shall try planting red raspberfies and
blackberries in October, says Weeks MdgG-
zine for September, protecting each hill
with forkfull of manure as soon as the
ground is frozen enough to drive upon. The
raspberries l will plant in check rows, and
put three plants in hill to insure perfect
stand. The matter of having a full row
with no vacancies / have twice before
alluded to, and now do so again, as no large
or extra large yield can be obtained if there
are missing hills. An acquaintance, who is
large berry producer, is realizing this to
his cost this year. The wet weather delayed
him in the spring, and also delayed parties
of whom he bought plants, and finally when
he did plant, in poorly prepared ground,
many plants failed to grow. His strawber-
ries have rs per cent. of vacancies, and his
blackberries nave come to the extent of only
80 per cent, leaving 20 per cent. of the
ground unoccupied, to hoe and cultivate
not only a year. but for several years to
come unless he plows it up or fills the va
cancies next season. The blackberry fail
ure is not entirely his fault, but the result
of a swindle. He sent to a widely adver-
tised firm for Erie plants. Late in the sea-
son he received box containing pieces Of
roots about five inches long, with letter
stating inability to furnish plants, but TAX
ing the liberty to substitute root cuttings,
which would do just as WELL" Such
swindle should be punished by recourse to
law and wide exposure, but in this case the
amount is not large and the swindled party
not given to litigation, SO he will quietly
submit, aud suppose the firm will repeat
their methods another year.

One Use of Plaster.

The question of using plaster to prevent
the escape of ammonia, says the Philadelphia
Record, is a very interesting one to farm
ers, as there is a large loss of ammonia on
the farm from various sources, but more
especially from the manure heap. Until of
lale years the action Of land plaster on the
manure heap in arresting the escape of
ammonia was not well understood. Prof.
Henry Lehman was among the first to ex-
plain the process, and his results showed
that several chemical changes resulted be-
fore the union of the plaster and ammonia
occurred. In fact, the plaster itself under
goes decomposition, bsing sulphate of lime
sulphuric acid and lime). The gaseous
ammonia must first be united with an acid.
becoming salt, such as carbonate of am
monia, and as the plaster is also a salt the
two salts on coming in contact compel a
change, the result being that the carbonic
acid leaves the ammonia and goes over to
the lime, while the sulphuric acid of the
plaster unites with the ammonia, the results
pelug the formation of carbonate of lime

Crab grass is now in fun growth, and
takes possession wherever it can. Although
it is not considered very valuable as bay, it
makes excellent grazing for all kinds of
stock when it is young. It is almost impos-
sible to keep the strawberry beds clean
where crab grass grows.
A farmer should endeavor to grow every
thing possible for home uss on the farm. 1t
may not always be cheaper to grow some
kinds of fruits and vegetables than to buy
them; but when grown at home they will
be fresh and of better quality, which is a
very important matter.
Now is the time when the seeds Of weeds
are ripening, and if they are 70 be cut down
it must be at once, OF it will be too late. To
allow the seeds to be scattered over the
ground is to increase the work of extermi-
nation next year, as well as lesson the
growth and vigor Of the crop TO De grown

Fruit as Food.

Now, l will tell you, says CdSSeu'S Family
Magazine, what claim for fruit as food
that is, for fruit as complement of ones
daily diet First, that it is exceedingly
paltatable; second, that it causes, owing to
this very palatableness, an increased flow Of
saliva; third, that iJ thus assists us in digest
ing other food, both bread and meat;
fourth, that fruit is itself easily assimilated
by the system; fifth, that it keeps the sys-
tenn free and in in good working condition i,
sixth, that from its acids, salts and essential
oils the blood is purified ana disease germs
destroyed; and seventh, that from its sac
charine matter the body is nourished and
the animal heat kept up.
It would seem like a paradox to say that
fruit both warns and cools the body, but
such is the case. In summer its acids tenn
per and equalize the heat, in winter its
sugars warm. Sugar and acid, in fact, are
so equally balanced in this food, formed in
the great laboratory of nature, thai neither
preponderates unduly or to the detriment of
the other.
We may take the testimony Of birds as
to the healthfulness of fruit. And who 50
bright. cheerful and happy as they? The
blackbird knows we'll what to treat himself
to in sweet summer time, and flutes all day
in the groves and the greater part of the
night as well; yet in winter, covering for
shelter under the dwarf pine trees, he does
not let down his heart. On the contrary,
he is content if he can scrape up few grub
worms from among the withered leaves
and obtain hip OF haw to assist in di-
costing that worm.
The Arabs form good example of ma
ton that to large extent lives on fruit.

simply our insular ignorance and arrogance.
