call as,pastor OF the church, and he re-
NAMED in that capacity until 1862,

is now being remodeled was laid August
IL, 1861, and the church was finished
and dedicated in 1862. In 1851 Rev, a.
w. Werder was installed Us pastor; and
he has continuously administered to q
growing congregation ever since.

will be IS feet inches wide and 1903 feet
long. 1t will cost $l5, 900 or $4,000. The
spire will rise l52 feet. Tie architect
is Edward Stotz, OF Pittsburgh, and he
has designed a very handsome stone
structure OF the early Gothielstyle. On
the north side a round tower rises The
front has large window Of cathedral
and opalescent glass, containing 2I0
square feet.
The material is Cleveland blue sand
stone, except the base course, which is

About tho Silo.
Mr.. 81. s. Weeks, of Oconomowoc,
Wis, is one of the best silo men of our
state, and the inheritor from his late
honored father, DIR. Weeks, of the first
silo of any magnitude and solidity that
was built in Wisconsin.
During the past season, Mr.. Weeks
says, he tried putting some clover in the
bottom of the pit at regular haying time,
covering it a foot deep with green marsh
hay, on which he put planks, and weight
ed it some besides. At corn harvesting
time the clover ensilage was in fine con-
dition. save some twelve or eighteen
inches on the top that had little mold,
out not to a seriously damaging amount.
1t was all eaten by the COWS. he filed
yhe silo full of corn cut to half inch
lengths.
He is now confident the clover was a
little too ripe, and so failed to settle as
compactly as it should to exclude all air.
He will cut the clover into the pits next
time, as well as the corn, and will weight
the clover more than he did last season.
He says he fnds-contrary to what we
think is the common belief-that the
cows prefer corn silage instead of the
clover. He also says that he favors the
planting of half the field with corn that
will mature ears, and the other half of
the large southern variety; and then in
harvesting cut across the rows so as to
thoroughly mix the corn with the whole
of the stalks.
We see no objection to this, unless it
be that the later variety would not be
ready to harvest when the earlier matur-
ing kind would be- How does Mr.. Weeks
overcome this difficulty
We have had dream that mixture
of a variety of sliced crops might be
harvested, each in its season, and at the
time of its very best development, and
put into a long, deep, narrow silo, one
top of the other, till made full by the
last maturing kind of corn. Then use
the "bias cut" in feeding out. This
would give a toothsome variety to the
ration that the animal would relish, and
give chance to put in all the per cent
Of ripened corn that is needed to make

WAYS OF THE WANKoNDEs.
One OF the Races InhabIting the Central
Part of Africa.

In new book of African adventure
L. M. Fotheringham tells of two
years struggle With Arab Shareholders
in central Africa. In speaking 81 the
Wankondes he says: You could see
the people in their element any FORE
noon you chose to walk among the
bananas. You would be greeted on
all sides with 'Sawkire, ugunilip"
"Good morning, have you slept well?"
Possibly some of the natives might be
at their toilet. some washing and others
shaving. Both women and men shave
off their eyebrows and pull out their
eyelashes = practice which does not
enhance their appearance. They also
shave the head. A bit of iron with a
good edge does duty as razor. In the
matter of dress the men simply wear a
brass loin belt made out of brass wire
imported from Britain. The wire on
its arrival is little thicker than COM
mon lead-pencil, and is bartered to the
natives in exchange for cattle, ivory,
etc. The process of drawing out the
wire is very interesting.
The men love to sit and smoke their
morning pipes under the cool shade of
the bananas. The pipe is simply a
gourd with little hole near the bot
tom, into which the head or cup with
the tobacco is put. Water is poured
into the gourd. A hole atthe top, about
one inch in diameter, is the mouth
piece. The native puts his lips over
this hole and takes a good pull, and
then passes it on to his neighbor. Then
they puff the smoke in the air and
watch it, with their dreamy eyes, dis
solve among the leaves. They know
both how to grow tobacco and how to
smoke it, as the luxury of the native
pipe is uncommonly refreshing.
The Wankondes yield to none in
hospitality. Whenever you enter a
village you are pre- al to the chief
and receive present Of a bullock or
its equivalent in fruit, etc. There are
only two regular meals in the day q
shall not say how many snacks they
have in the intervaD, and these occur
at midday and between and o'clock
at night. Native etiquet prevents the
men dining along with the women.
The staple food is usima, kind of
porridge made out of the flour of In
dian corn, mpemba, or cassava. By
way of relish they have vegetables or
stewed fowl or fish. On the whole, the
Wankondes, as found them, were a
particularly prosperous and happy peo-
pie, inoffensive and contented. could
not help thinking how much better they
were than certain products of civiliza-
ton at home.

Three Men Who Didn't Give UP Until
Long After the War.

According to story in Albert Law
sons War Anecdotes the last confed-
crate did not surrender until fifteen
months after Appomatox. The story
is that on the morning of the 4th of
July, 1886, the secretary of war. who
had planned fishing excursion to the
falls of the Potomac. received tele-'
gram from the provost marshal at
Richmond, saying that squad of con-
federate soldiers were at his Office
ready to deliver up their arms and be
amnestied. Knowing that joking Of
that sort would subject the perpetrator
to court-martial, the secretary fastened
to the White House to consult with
President johnson. The result was q
telegram to the provost marshal:
WHO are they and where did they
come fromp"
Answer was prompt and to the point:
Sergeant Tewsbury and guard
from Dismal Swamp Did not know
the war was over.
s After good deal of laughter the
provost marshal was ordered to re-
ceive their capitulation, which was
conducted in due form. Tewsbnry. an
old Virginian, ordered his squad. q
couple of Georgians. to give up their
guns and sign the papers. reserving
himself as the last man of all the con-
federate forces to surrender. The old
sergeant's description of the way he
found out the war was over was anus

A WOMAN OF BUSINESS.
She Runs Her Husbands Shop and Pays
Him to Stay Away.

In an article for girls entitled What
You Can Do?" Youths Companion
tells of woman who had good-for-
nothing husband who let his business
run down until he was about to fail,
and says: ''The wife was reused by
the necessity staring her in the face.
She was delicate in appearance and
. not strong enough to take in washing
or keep boarders. Besides, her home
belongings were of the scantiest.
''She went down to her husbands
shop. She said to the workmen, I am
going TO carry on this business, pay it's
debts, and retrieve its fortunes. Will
you help me?' They said they would
with will, and they did.
"She wrote to each of the creditors,

..As before. he was shiftless and inn
prudent, and the result WAS that in a
few months had almost undone all
that the patient wife had accomplished.
Finally, it was represented to him
that he had no head for business;' that
his talents were of q higher order, and
had a finer field elsewhere. He wa.
persuaded to leave his business in his
wife's hands, his name only appearing
in it, and to accept stated stipene
for staying away from the shop.

manages the business that supports
him.
