Briggs Resumes His Argument.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The trial Of
Rev Charles A. Briggs was resumed this
afternoon. Professor Briggs, who has
been reading his argument for the past
two days, resumed. The presbytery, he
said, could not adjudge him guilty be-
cause he contended there were errors in
the original text of the scripture, because
the Westminster confession did not say
that there were no errors, and called
upon ministers to teach the gospel truly
in accordance with the interpretations of
the holy scripture. He said that he now
holds as he did when he made the inau
gural address, that there are errors in
the Holy Scripture as written, but he did
not nor does now mean by that that there
were errors in the word of God, or that
the errors precluded true Interpretation
of the word of God.
Before concluding his argument the
hearing was adjourned until Monday
| afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Waste of Corn Endder.

1t is always in order to call attention
to the waste of corn fodder that takes
place on so many of our farms every
year, either by allowing it to rot in the
fields or making some slight attempt to
utilize it by pasturing. The Northwest
ern Farmer thinks this latter method is
of questionable benefit, because the
stock will do good deal of damage to
the soil if allowed to run upon it when
wet, and they get at the best but
small portion of the full value Of the
fodder. The amount of labor involved
in cutting and handling corn fodder has
of course been the means of deterring
many farmers from saving it, But it
will so largely take the place Of hay in
feeding the farm stock that it will repay
well the cost of harvesting. Within re-
cent years farmers have been realizing
the value of this fodder more than they
formerly did, and now that we are get
ting harvesting machines that promise
to lessen the labor, we shall hope soon
to see the major portion of this great
crop put by for winter feeding. AS the
case now stands, this waste of corn fod-
der is undoubtedly the largest single
leak in our whole agricultural system.

FISHER BOY OF NAPLES,

The surroundings of Naples are not only
noted for their beauty of scenery, but are
highly interesting. They contain the tomb
Of Virgil, the disinterred towns of Hercu.
laneum and Pompeii, the volcano of Vesu.
vius and the Roman remains of temples,
palaces and tombs.
The beauty Of the Bay Of Naples has
long been famous. This bay is about
twenty miles across. A striking feature
Of Naples is its singular population and
the publicity in which life is passed The
inhabitants swarm in the thoroughfares.
where venders purchasers and idlers In.
termingle and dazzle with the brilliant
variety of their costumes.
Not the least picturesque in this throng
are the hardy and industrious fishermen
who live on the sunny shores Of the bay.
The children Of the fisher folk are set early
to work. They need and wear little cloth
ing, for the weather is generally warm.
The lad in the picture is carrying two OF
the wicker traps used for catching fish
On his breast he wears a little charm
which his mother has doubtless given
him, and which they both believe will
keep him safe from danger, for these sim
pie fisher folk are very superstitious. The
language which the fisher lad speaks and
In which he sings popular Neopolitar
songs is the native patois, corrupt dia
lect Of Italian and Spanish.

Market gardeners know the value of
compost heaps, but farmers have not as
much experience in this line as they
should have, according to Farm Life.
which says: "By composing it all stable
and barnyard manure can be put in
more available shape and be applied to
better advantage directly to the crop
than it can be in ordinary form. A good
way to build a compost heap is to lay
foundation of thick sods, making the
basis of such length and width as seem
desirable. Put down sods, say, to a
depth of six inches; then cover them
with a layer of manure half as deep
Continue with alternate layers until the
pile is five or six feet deep. Then finish
with a basin i'll the center and pour
water into this until the entire mass is
we'll soaked. Fermentation will soon
take place and assist in the decay of or.
ganic matter. After few weeks cut
the pile down from one end with a spade
and throw it over, and repeat the opera
tion at least once before using. A few
months will suffice to give a fine mass of
rich compost. The best time to build n
compost heap is of course early in the
autumn.
