CHURCH OF THE REFORMATION.

Another Of the churches connected with the
synod is the Church Of the Reformation, ut
Pennsylvania avenue and I'd street southeast.
The Lutheran Church ON Capitol Hill was
organized by the present pastor, Rev. W. E.
Parson, d. ID. He began with twenty people in
one OF the old frame barracks that used TO
stand in war times not far from the Carroll
mansion. By his faith in that portion
Of the city Mr.. Parson has the satisfac-
ton of now serving one of the
most fourishing congregations in connection
with the Maryland synod. His church is gem
in the Interior centrally located on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. During the pas. year one of his
members, Mrs. Sarah Utermehle, very gener-
ously assumed the cost of frescoing and refit-
ting the church in memory Of her husband, the
late George W Utermehle. Mr.. Parson repre-
sents type of Lutheranism that is in fraternai
accord with all other churches. He preached
during his summer vacation in one of the Con-
grsgational churches of Boston. On the vexed
question as to liturgics Nh Parson has always
claimed to be conservative. He uses a form
prescribed by the church, but would repel any
attempt to make prescribed form obligatory.

A new BUSINESS METHOD

s. H. Baynard has adopted new plan that
the opportunity is given to procure a good
watch for very low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs This plan Is az
follows: Clubs are composed of forty men,
bers, who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes TO the originator of the plan. When the
club Is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and sixty-fve dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time a number is drawn, which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
OF watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of a number further payment OF
that number cease. The remaining members
tless one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches so distributed are a gold-hlled
case, made by James Boss, with either an Ell
gin, Waltham, Springfield or Hampden move-
ment such as are sold all over our city for
thirty-tve dollars and which are fully war
ranted TO give satisfaction Clubs are now
forming and drawings viii commence Tues

Eating the First Oyster.

Is has been often said that he must
have been a bold man who first ate an
oyster. This is said in ignorance of the
legend which assigns the first act of oys-
ter eating to a very natural cause.
1t is related that a man, walking one
day, picked up one of these savory BIZ
valves just as it was in the act of gaping.
Observing the extreme smOOthness Of
the interior of the shells, he insinuated
his finger between them that he might
feel their shining surface, when sud
denly they closed upon the exploring
digit with a sensation less pleasurable
than he anticipated.
The prompt withdrawal Of his finger
was scarcelya a more natural movement
than its transfer to his mouth. 1t is not
very clear why people when they hurt
their fingers put them into their mouths;
but it is very certain that they do; and
in this case the result was most fOrtu-
nate.
The owner Of the finger tasted oyster
juice for the first time, as the Chinamar
in Elias essay having burnt his finger
first tasted cracking. The SAVIOR wal
delicious; he had made great discovery
so he picked up the oysters, forced OpeI
the shells, banqueted upon their con
tents, and soon brought oyster eating
into fashion.
And, unlike most fashions, it has neve
gone, and is never likely to go OUT

The Violin Makers.

In MarkneukiTchen, with its surround
ing villages, Klingenthal, Fleissen, ROhr-
back and Graslitz, in Saxony, are about
fifteen thousand people who do nothing
else, day after day, but make violins.
The inhabitants, from the little urchin
to the old gray headed man, the small
girl and the old grandmother, all are en-
gagged in making some parts of fiddle.
A good instrument consists of sixty-twO
different pieces. The older men make
the finger board from ebony, and the
string holder or the screws. The small
boys make themselves useful by look
ing after the glue pot. A man with
strong, steady hands and clear eye
puts the different pieces together, and
this is the most difficult task of all. The
women generally occupy themselves as
polishers, and the family that has a
daughter who is good polisher is con-
sidered fortunate. Even young man,
when he goes a-wooing, inquiries whether
tho young girl is q good polisheF; and il
she is, it certainly will increase his af-
fectiOn for her at least twofold. The
polishing takes a good deal of time, some
of the best violins being twenty and even
thirty times polished. Every family has
it's peculiar style of polishing, and they
never vary from that. There is one thai
makes nothing but deep wine color
another a citron color, yet another al
orange color, and so on,-Letter in Bos

Monkeys as Crab Catehers.

The way in which monkeys catch land
crabs is described by sportsman who
made an expedition to the jungies around
Singapore, and there enjoyed sport which
makes the cOntempOraneOus records OF
Indian experiences pale into insignih-
cance. The monkey lies down flat on its
stomach, feigning death. From the
countless passages piercing the mud in
every direction thousands of little red
and yellow crabs soon make their APP
pearance, and after suspiciOusly eying
for few minutes the brown fur of the
monkey, they slowly and cautiously slide
up to him, in great glee at the prospect
of a big feed off the bones of JockO. The
latter peeps through his half closed eye
lids, and fixes upon the biggest of the as
sembled multitude. When the crab comes
within reach, out dashes the monkey S
arm, and off he scampers into the jungle
with a cry of delight to discuss atleisure
his cleverly earned dinner
'Rarely did the monkeys seem to miss
their prey adds the describer of this
scene. Il saw, however, one old fellow
do so, and it was ludicrous in the extreme
to see the rage it put him in. Jumping
for fully a minute up and down on all
fours at the mouth of the hole into which
the crab had escaped, he positively
howled with vexation. Then he set K
work poking the mud about with his fin
gers at the entrance to the passage, fruit
lessly trying every now and again to peel
into it" These same monkeys, the 81
called pig tailed variety, are taught by tn
Malays to pick fruit for them in the for
ests. The monkeys select the ripest fruit
and their masters, by following thei
movements, catch them in a cloth befor
they reach the ground. The monkey
too we'll trained to attempt to eat an
fruit while at work, but when sufficien
are gathered he is duly rewarded for hi
self denial Globe.
