Low has been looking up old friends. and

A Curious Pulpit.

A curious colonial relic known as the
"open and shut pulpit" has been sold at
Danielsonville, Conn. 1t had been in the
Read family for 100 years, and was the
property of Rev. Amos Read, the first
Baptist minister in the state. Mr.. Read
had to travel great distances In order to
spread the gospel" and had his pulpit
made to take with him. 1t opens and
shuts with hinges like chest whose lid
is very much larger than the box part
When the pulpit is shut up it is SEEM
ingly fair sized box; opened, the solid
lid stands straight before the preacher,
pulpit standard. on which the minister
lays his Bible and hymn book, and be-
hind which he discourses, standing on
the other part Of the box. Rev. Amos
Read, when he set forth to preach In
distant parts, just strapped up his pulpit,
balanced 1t on his horses back and trot-
ted forth. carrying church as well as
gospel with him.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Rev. c.. Fl. Woolston, formerly OF
this city, now of Philadelphia, is still full
of energy in his work among the children
The Philadelphia Record of last Thursday
says:
The Rev. G. II. Woolston, pastor OF the
East Baptist Church, situated among the
working people of that section of the city,
conceived the idea OF establishing camp
across the river at North Cramer's HILL,
N. j., in order to offer little outing to
the working people of this city at very
slight expense. The camp was opened on
the Fourth of July, and will soon come to
successful close.
The camp is at present dotted with
tents, offering an accommodation for the
night to 100 people. Every day great
numberof children and their parents spend
the day on the grounds and return at
night. A playground and base ball dia-
mond, besides other outdoor games, en-
able the children to spend the day 10 gen.
uine pleasure.
The pastor is on the ground night and
day, and conducts religious services every
evening.
Over 2500people have visited the camp,
800 OF whom have been given the outing
free. The cost of the camp, which will
amount to about $1,000, has been provided
for by charity and the profits of sales OF
the grounds.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's Tren-
ton Branch, and 1t is believed that it
will be opened for traffic by next Spring.
Officials of the Company say that it will be
one of the finest and most substantial
pieces of railroad work ever completed in
this section of the country. AS yet moth
thing has been done on that section of the
line where 1t will branch off from the main
Line to a point 10 Upper Merton from
where work is being pushed to the Bucks
county line, whence 1t takes the name of
"The Trenton Cutoff, y and thence on to
to Worthwhile, where 1t strikes the Com
pany's New York tracks. Several sur
veys have been made through Chester
county to the Main Line. The connect
ing point will, however, be Glen Loeb,
from which place TO Trenton will be about
40 miles.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Mail and Express exposes
the secret of Senator McPherson's remark
able change of front on the tariff question.
He says that the surprise excited by his
newborn zeal for ''tariff REFORM has de-
yeloped the fact "that Senator Mcpherson
Is candidate for the nomination for Vice
President on the Democratic ticket in 1892,
and his efforts to secure reduction Of
tariff rates, together with his assertion
that he doesn't intend to spare even the
industries OF his own State, are for the
purpose OF securing the support of the
delegation from the Southern States" 1t
seems difficult TO believe that Mcpherson
can entertain 30 preposterous notion,
for II is certain that the Democratic Pres
idential ticket will not be made from the
two contiguous Middle States of New
York and New Jersey, and the leading
place on the ticket is almost sure TO be Civ
en- 10 the former State.

Now the gadfiy which pursued poor 10
seems to have stung us all, and we fit
about the globe restlessly, till it has
nearly come to pass that everybody who
has house has let it to somebody else,
and the last place to expect to find
man is at home. A general game of
puss-in-the-corner amuses the best society
of Europe and America all the summer
and much of the winter. The humblest
village school child expects two or three
annual excursions; every servant and
shop hand stipuiates for holidays long
enough to pay distant visits; in short,
our lives are becoming much like those
of festive gnats at play of warm even
ing. Sometimes we pause to suck
flower or to bite somebody, but we soon
return to the perpetual locomotion which
seems to possess unfailing charm.

The Ballot Reform law was recently de-
nounced by the Prohibitionsts in this
State. II was said that the enactment OF
the law was an effort on the part of the
"two old partiesn to freeze out their
younger trivial" The great objection to
the law raised by the Prohlbitionsts was
the requirement relative to the placing Of
the names on the official ballot; but the
Morris JerSeynldn calls attention to the
fact that there IS no occasion for alarm
on this score. The JerSeynan says the
Prohibitionists s'may obtain any quantity
OF The official ballots from the County
Clerks of the several counties that they
are willing to pay for, and can either write
or paste upon these The names Of their
candidates or the persons for whom they
desire to vote, as they prefer. II will be
q little trouble to do this, to be sure but
what is little TO people SO anxious TO
sacrifice themselves for a principle r."
To be sure but the Prohibitionists will
not love the law any more for this. They
will probably declare, likewise, that it is
all the fault of the Republican party, their
natural enemy, and continue to be assist
ant Democrats and help along the rum
party. What jewel is consistency

The worms which are found upon

The worms which are found upon
cabbage are the larvae oftwo or three kinds
of butterflies, which deposit their eggs on
the leaves, chiefly on the under side, for
protection from the weather. The worms
when hatched gather for shelter 10 the
heart of plants. There are several ways
Of preserving the cabbage from these
pests. Que is TO dust them with plaster,
either dry or mixed with little iurpen-
tine or carbolic acid, or with Cayenne
pepper or with insect powder. Where
only few plants are grown, the worms
might be picked off or crushed with finger
and thumb.
