The throng outsidesof the great Mad
ison Square garden at each meeting,
when it was announced that no more
could get in, was well worth seeing
AS the thousands of delegates turned
away it was a pleasure to look upon the
fresh young faces. There wereno fumes
of liquor, no harsh words. All wore the
general badge of the Endeaver society
strip of white celluloid slipped on a
ribbon and bearing the name and en-
blems of the society. In addition many
wore state designations, and those from
the west often carried banners of Grim
son and purple and gold ForsSa, few
minutes all Madison square shone with
heirarray, and then they streamed away

Battery, Brooklyn bridge and other
noted places.
An important feature of the conven-.
ton was THE discussion in regard to
opening the Worlds fair ON Sunday
Rev. R. V. Hunter, of TerreH Haute,
Ind, opened the matter by asking for a.
vote, and there was thunderous ''Nov'
which seemed to shake the building.
He, went on to tell how the United
States senate had made the grant of aid
conditioned on the fair being closed on
Sunday, whereupon Canadian delegate
called for three cheers for the American
senate, and they were given with will.
A committee appointed at last years
convention at Minneapolis then reported
resolutions protesting against such Sun
day opening, which were adopted later.
When DR.. Clark read the official an
nouncement that Great Britain and
Canada would close their exhibits on
Sunday there was a tremendous out
burst, and then Ohio's band of singers
gave rousing song, with a chorus to
the. effect that; sO-hi-o won't gosif; the
Worlds fair is open on Sunday which
delighted the convention Immensely.
d Another very curious and entertaining
incident WAS the contest for the banner
Two years ago atlSt. Louis wonderful
banner, composed Of badges Of hundreds
of societies, was displayed, and the an
nouncement made that each year; it
should go to- that state, territory or
province which had shown the greatest
proportionate increase. Last year Okla

POULTRY IN THE FALL.
Let the Chickens Clean Their Living II
= the Fields. -

g.,
Let the Chickens Clean Their Living in
the Fields. 70 n
. After the crops are harvested on the
farm and in the garden turn the chickens
into the fields and let them forage arc , d
for a living. The amount of loose grin
corn and seeds that are scattered over
the fields can scarcely be realized, and
all of this is sheer waste if not gathered
by the chickens. They are the natural
methods by which to gather these waste
seeds. Give them plenty of range, for
they not only save food, but they enjoy
the work. Moreover, this freedom often
gives new life and vigor to weak chick
ems and stimulates the young ones SO
that they grow rapidly.
Even in the garden there is great deal
of loss. Vegetables drop seeds, which
fall on the ground and become frozen in
the winter. The chickens quickly rake
these up and devour them greedily. In
addition to this they fall afoul of hun
dreds of insects. worms and grubswhich
/ they quickly, destroy. Grasshoppers and
locusts are killed by them, and they
clearly prepare the; garden and fields for
the long winter rest. A few of the In
sects killed in the fall will probably pre-
vent the multiplication Of hundreds in
the spring.
A natural diet is one that produces the
best flesh and the most eggs. Nature
furnishes this in the fields and woods,
and the chickens select it, making it as
varied as possible. No artificial formula
can equal that which the fields in the
fall of the year furnish. This will result
in better egg laying and firmer and bet
ter flesh. The benefits of giving the
chickens wider range of the fields in
the fall of the year are SO many that no
farmer can afford to neglect it. /
If an old hen begins to molt early,
and gets we'll feathered out in October
or early in November, she can by proper
care be made to lay nearly all winter,
and if not more than three to four years
old may give more eggs than pullet.
She will probably want to sit early, and
old hens make better mothers than
young ones do. But she must be well
fed and not be made too fat. Give oats,
wheat, wheat bran, meat scraps and
vegetables, and avoid corn, cornmeal
and buckwheat as diet until after she
has begun to lay. -
To fatten fowl for Thanksgiving give
whole corn as early as they can see in
the morning, after which warm, mash
of cornmeal, with milk in it---if milk is
plenty-and all the corn they will eat be-
fore they go to roost. Give green vege-
tables very sparingly, as they keep the
bowels too loose when fed freely, and
give plenty of pure water, clean gravel
and bits of charcoal, all of which help
digestion of the food.

revival during the, winter: and these

The pastor listened to their expert
ences,s and suddenly a great sadness fell
upon him. From all the experiences OF
past revivals he could not but feel that
the love of many would wax cold; that
few, would fall away might be consid-
cred certain, as we'll as that many who
remained Christians would be chilled
by church Journalism or fail to act in
sympathy with older members. There
was some talk of the tendencies to doubt
and dissent now prevailing, and sug-
gestion that possibly young converts
were asked to believe much at the time
when they should rather be asked to do
much.
The suggestion was spark that fell
among materials ready to kindle, and at
once little class or club was organized
on plan which might be setlforth i'll
these words, ''Do at once what thy hand
findeth to do and doctrine will take care

Peoples Society Of Christian Endeavor,
which now includes some % 900 socie-
ties and 100000 MEMBERS Its name is
its PLATFORM, Earnestly ,,endeavor to
lead true Christianslife, and after that
creeds and DENOMINATIONS.
This little society grew till its men,
bership reached sixty, and in August of
that year The Congregationalist, of Bos-
ton, published sketch of it under the
heading, Glow One Church Cares for
Its Young People," This article and
others which followed it were widely
read, and such interest was excited that
several other local clubs Of the same ma
ture were organized. These soon affil-
lated, and on July 2, 1882, the first con-
vention was held in the Williston
church, six societies, with membership
of about 400, being represented. In
June, 1883, there was another conven-
ton there, when fifty societies were rep
resented, with membership of 2,870.
1t soon spread far beyond its parent
state, and in 1884, at Lowell, Mass, ISL
societies were represented; but it was at
Ocean Park, Me-, in 1885, that the size
of the gathering first excited much at
tention, there being 253 societies repre-
sented. Conventions were held at Sara
toga in 1885 and 1887, at Chicago in 1883,
at Philadelphia in 1889 and at St.&Louis
in 1890, and still New York city did not
seem to have heard of the organization.

The Durability of Timber,

The durability of timber is not wholly
dependent upon the fbers of, the wood,
but is partly owing to the quality Of the
sap, which in some trees is of highly
preventative nature; thus, the. oak has

well as ferruginous quality in, it's

these qualities that it's durability in ex-

blue clay, from which it obtains the OK
