SHAKEN BY AN EARTHQUAKE.

Citizens who were yet awake at 1850
Saturday night felt a distinct shock OF
earthquake, which lasted more than a
second, and which swayed pictures on the
walls and made the strings of pianos tin
gle merrily. The shock seemed to come
from the northeast, and was felt in a
slight way as far east as indianapolis.
Here no Damage was done, and the peO-
pie were not badly frightened, so few
knowing what it was.
VIVA CAUSED 1T?
SO far no cause for the phenomenon has
b ,en assigned, except that it may have
been IL. Martin William stepping with
out warning from Indiana into Ohio, anC
that's hardly plausible, for IL. Martir

THE PEA AS STOCK FOOD.

In the northern section of the cotton
belt of the United States the value of the
COW pea as a stock food is being dis
cussed very much. Many Southern jour-
mails are urging its value and growth.
The popular idea that it is IN unsafe
TODD is based upon the fact that the
grain when fed alone is too concentrated,
which Is q very correct idea. But the
hull of the pea is but.little above the
straw of grain, hence the hull and the
grain fed together make a popular, well
balanced food. The present more com.
mon method of having the peas thrashed
is giving way to the latter practice-pick.
ing the peas and storing them away in
the hull. This method being once adopted
it seems apparent that the grower would
have them picked by the hundred as cot
ton is picked, and not have them picked
on the shares as is now the. prevalent
plan. They car usually be picked at a
cost of thirty cents per hundred. The
idea that the pea is an unhealthy food
for stock is unfounded. The Southern
Farmer says: "We have fed peas in
in the hull to horses and mules for the
last fifty years and never had a case of
collie or other disease traceable to it.
They are fully as safe feed as corn, while
they can be raised on land that will not
grow orn."-Farmers' Home Journal.

THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE.

The Christian world contains no sadder
picture than small towns where money and
strength are wasted, not that souls may be
saved and the human condition bettered, but
that sects may win proselytes. All denomi-
nations are sinners in this matter. A new
church is needed in a town, and those al
ready there hold no conference, make no
mutual plans, never ask who can do the
work best, but the one that happeLs to have
ready money rushes in and pre-empts the
field. Missions are needed to the heather,
and, In too many instances, there are offered
to those who know not how to distinguish,
Presbyterian. Congregational, Methodist
and Episcopalian forms of Christianity, aud
the poor heather make the best bargain by
going to the highest bidder. Think Of rival
societies in the face Of the poverty and crime
which are rising like q flood! Think OF a
Zulu trying to understand the immense
significance Of the difference between INNER
sion and sorinkling! Think Of & Sioux
Indian trying to fathom the mystery Of the
historic E%piscopate! Think of street children
growing 10 be criminals while the General
Assembly is settling the infinitely important
question rs to whether Moses wrote the
books that contain no mention OF his author
ship. Sects are the products of intellectual
differences. They will exist as long as men
differ. which will probably be forever.
Heaven would he 4 mUnoton0uS place II oil
the angels looked alike and sang the same
STRAIN without ceasing. But is there no
basis for the cooperation among Christians
which i imperative? There is. and it may
be found in the principle of federation.
Let the sees keep apart as much as they
choose in the making of their theologies but
come together in the service of humanity.
In the not distant future all denominations
in the community will have some sort of a
iegis!ature-a committee, perhaps, on which
all will lie represented and to whose treasury
I'll will contribute-and this body Of elders,
war!ens, deacons. or what not. will have
direction OF all that concerns the whole com.
munity. Is q new church needed in u
locality? This committee will report what
denomination will suit that particular field
best, and then all others will help as much
as if it were their own. Is q mission re-
Qnired, or q place where those who have no
home can be provided With q home? All
will consider the question and help accord
ing to ability. Nothing less than this can
meet the problem Of the modern city. Not
only is the need too great for money to be
wasted, but the ignorance of the people is
such that they must not be confused with
sprculations. A UNCONVENTIONAL mission

SIDE HILLS.

In more than forty years of reading
agricultural journals, writes W.. H.
Gardner, I have never seen a word upon
the subject of the difference between the
area of side-hill acres and level. Arith-
metic teaches that there is a difference
between the h]ypothenuse and base. We
see this fact illustrated in every vertically
boarded barn gable. The rafters are
longer than the beams according to their
slope, and the vertical boarding cover
beam and rafter alike. The old question
in Standardization many more pickets
set vertically will it take to build a fence
over a hill than upon a level2" is also
illustrated in the barn gable-no more.
How many farmers, asked if there is
more plant room upon a side hill acre,
could make a correct replya The seeder
and the pillow find more surface-there is
more surface-and yet the tarn-gable
illustration shows US that the space for
plants is the same on a side hill as upon
a plain, consequently that an acre of side
hill should not be seeded according to
lineal surface, but as a plain or level
acre. In other words plants should grow
farther apart as to surface upon q side
hill than upon a plain In proportion to
the descent .-Rural Home Journal.

THE ROPE HAS A HOLD on ME.

A few years ago, one Of our great ocean
steamers was crossing the Atlantic when it
was overtaken by a storm. At midnight,
when all were brayely battling with the ele-
ments, there came a sudden cry OF "a mar
overheard" The hurricane was too fierce to
permit Of the vessel being brought to q stand
still, but as soon as the cry was heard the
captain and a sailor rushed to the stern Of
the vessel, the latter hastily coiled up q rope,
and noosing it at the end as he ran, threw 1t
with feryent hope that 1t might catch the
drowning. They anxiously watched the
rope, and to their joy it frightened. Although
they were almost certain that the man had
got hold Of the rope, they feared to draw 1t
in, lest they were mistaken. Then the cap
tain shouted with all his might, "Haye you
got hold of the rope?" And in Hull between
the blasts of wind there came these words,
in o faint voice, mo, but the rope has a
hold of me-" The drowning man had
caught the rope and slipped the moose over
his head, had drawn it tightly under his
arms, and he was safe, for held there by the
strong cable, he was pulled on board. When
he had the rope holding him he was far
safer than If he had held the rope in his
feeble grasp. And it Is much the same with
the saved sinner. He must first of all take
hold Of Christ, and when that is done 1t is
not so much his hold upon Christ as Christ's
almighty enclrcling, embracing grasp upon
him.-[EXchange.

SOME POINTS ABOUT SHORT HORNS.


There are many points to support the
claim that the short horn is emphatically
the farmers COW. Many experienced men
firmly believe that no other cow is so we'll
suited to all purposes, and despite the
cutlery against the general purpose"
COW, that is after all what the great ma
jority of farmers want. Even for special
dairy purposes they are rarely excelled.
At the Bristol Dairy Show in England a
short horn took first prize, giving fifty
two pounds of milk per day at the. test,
five months after coming in. At the
British Dairy Show held at London,
where there were two hundred and fifty
seven entries of all breeds, short horns
took first and second prizes. The British
Agricultural Gazette says: 1.-THE short
horn is the best cow We have in Eng.
land for dairy purposes" The Michigan
Agricultural College says: 1.-THE short
hons are undoubtedly the best farmers
cow" The Ontario Agricultural College
says: "For beef and milk there is moth
ing that can equal the short horns; nor
have they any equals for improving other
breeds" This last point should have
the most careful consideration. The
constant infusion of better blood in all
our herds, both for beef and dairy, is
the chief thing that we need, and we
should use those breeds which will most
impress their good points upon their
progeny. This prepotency of the short
horns is most marked.-Nem York o.

HOW TO KEEP P

When apples are as plenty a. 'this year
it is a good plan to buy stock when
cheap. "The main point is TO keep at
a low, equable temperature. A cellar
that will not freeze and is a little above
the freezing point answers best. By TAX
ing pains enough almost any kind Of
fruit can be kept much longer than is
generally supposed. Apples may be had
fresh and crisp the year around. The
secret is in keeping them dry and cool.
In the first place they must be picked and
handled so as to keep them perfectly free
from bruises. Only perfect fruit will
pay for such care. Apples should be
placed on shelves or in shallow boxes,
so that they do not press much on each
other. If they are actually free from
contact or if they are wrapped in soft
paper, very little change in them will be
observable. Green's Fruit Recorder.

Revelation, chapter iii, verse col
At the door of thy heart He stands,
And long has knocked,
But the door is barred with iron bands,
And doubly locked.
In the sum mer's sun and the winters rain,
He has pleaded entrance oft and again.
And with patience waits-in vain-ln vain
His words are Knocked.
IT'S the Prince of Peace that calls;
No longer wait!
But hasten down from thy banquet halls
Unbar the gate!
He will change thy songs to nobler strains.
He will cleanse thy soul from sins dark

Give crowns for pleasures gildcd chains
Give love for hate.
O heart, thou hast for so long ouaffed
Sins baletul wine,
Thou longest not for the purcr draught
From fount divine!

Though bright with beauty's gorgeous bloom,
Will lose their brilliance and perfume
These feasts resign.

He will dwell forever in thy breast,
