THE CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL.

ne CONOhG1Ht tONNC CoOiNCtI.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mum, Oct. 1.-THE at
tendance at the national Congregational
council was much larger than could have
been expected for this, the closing session.
A resolution was introduced aud passed
providing that the church do all i'll its
power TO revive the cause of religion,
making the month OF December of the
year period for special effort in this line
A resolution in regard to the colored
people WAS introduced and adopted, as
follows:
I'VE deplore the continuance of the
lawless spirit and acts of violence of many
parts of the south, of which the negroes
are the direct victims; n condition of
society that at once binders the work of
our educational and religious societies for
the elevation of this suffering race. aud
menaces the very foundation of our ma
tional existence. We therefore declare
our sympathy with and give our earnest
supporG to the oppressed of every race and
class who are suffering in the struggle to
protecS their rights under the federal con-
stitution. We also declare that our re-
hgious faith and political principles re-
quire that every citizen shall enjoy the
protection of just laws. framed in accord
ance with Justice; that they shall have
the right TO request a tree ballot and have
that ballot counted as cast without dis
tinction of race"
The council a journed this afternoon, to
meet three years hence in San Francisco.
The only ripple OF excitement was when
Rev. William Butcher of Illinois gave
notice of an amendment to the bylaws,
providing that no member should be
chosen by the nominating committee TO
serve on a standing committee longer than
one council This brought out II lively
discussion. After various references re-
port was adopted thanking the nominal
ing com mittee for its work and suggest
ing the advisabiiity of making up tho
committees III future in accordance with
the wishes of the Congregational con-

WHEN FORKS CAME IN.

In 1900, Before Which. Tlme English Man.
ners Were May.
It was about the year 1000 and in the
reign Of James I. when forks were first
introduced in England. This piece of
refinement, we are told, was derived
from the Italians. In a curious book OF
travels, published in the year 1911. the
writer says:
Il observed q custom in all those
Italian cities and towns through which
! passed that is not used in any other
country that | saw in my travels.
Neither do think that any other ma
ton in Christendome doth use it, but
only Italy. The Italians, and also most
strangers that are commorant in Italy,
do alwaies at their meals use little
fori1e when they cut their meate. For
while with their knife, which they hold
in one hand, they cut the meate out of
the dish, they fasten their forke, which
they hold in the other hand, upon the
same dish This forme of feeding is
generally in use in all Italy, their forkes
being for the most part made OF yron
or steel, and some of silver. but those
are only used by gentle men,"
Before the revolution In France II
was customary, when a gentleman had
been invited out to dinner, to send his
servant in advance with his knife, fork
and spoon. If he had no servant ne
carried them with him in his pocket
Some of the peasantry in certain parts
of Germany and Switzerland to-day
carry case in their pockets containing
a knife, fork and spoon.

A BAD EAxSAin.

Though king can do no wrong, be
may occasionally make a bad bargain.
When Charles /. ruled over England his
exchequer, always at low ebo. became
SO nearly empty that he disposed Of his
thirty shares in the New River Com
paag in consideration of an annual
payment of $500 to oe made to himself
and his heirs as long as the company
should exist. This $500 year is still
paid into the royal treasury. but each
individual share of the stock now earns
81 ZOO year, an increase Of unearned
increment beside which Chemical bank
stock Is nowhere. In other words, the
unlucky king sold for ss,5ao year
property that now realizes SECS. 900 in

A whales Pro2sliins FoW0e.

The horse power of whale has been
made a subject OF study by the eminent
anatomist, Sir William Turner, of the
University of Edinburg, Scotland, in
conjunction with the equally eminent
Glasgow shipbuilder, John Henderson
The size and dimensions OF a great En-
ner stranded several years ago on the
shore at Longriddy furnished the nee
cssary data for computation Of the
power necessary to propel it at speed
of twelve miles an hour. This whale
measured eighty feet in length, twenty
feet across a. the hanges of the tail.
and weighed seventy-four tons To at
tain speed of twelve miles an hour it
was calculated that ono hundred aud
forty-Rve horse power was necessary.

SELF PRAISE.

Self praise is no recommendation. but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testi mony of others no reasonable man
will doubt his word. Now, to say that
Allccok's Porous Plasters are the only
genuine and reliable porous plasters made
is not self praise in the slightest
degree. They have stood the test for
over thirty years, and in proof of their
merits it is only necessary to call attention
to the cures they have effected and to the
voluntary testimonials of those who have
used them.
Beware of limitations and don't be de-
ceived by misrepresentation. Ask for
ALLCOCk'S. and let no solicitation or ex.
PLANTATION induce you to accept substi-
tufe
