AT ST JOHNS.

St Johns church at Sandy Hook was
 filled with large audience, last Sunday evening. to greet Bishop Williams and
 witness the act of confirmation to l2 can didates. Rev MT Wright, rector of the church, and Rev MT Linsley, assisted in the service. The sermon was preached by the bishop, he taking for his text the words found in Ephesians 2:22, "ln whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the spirit" and from Romans 4:12, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" He spoke of the first passage as representing men living together in soci- ety and the need of daily contact and pie tured out how dwarfed and disfigured was human character when isolated. The second passage represented the souls in- dividual responsibility to God and there must be blending of both truths, as one balanced the other. Man was created to be s.builded together" and at the same time he must not forget his individual re- sponsibility to his Maker. He spoke of the tendency of human nature to grasp one idea, or one side of truth and run away with it and forget to be broad minded and take the whole truth. He made practical application of his text to church membership, urging that while they were united to Christ's kingdom they forget not that they bear an indi vidual responsibility and not alone le their membership in the kingdom suffice

BISHOP WILLIAMS IN TOWN.
AT TRINITY.

A very large audience greeted Bishop Williams at Trinity church on Sunday morning, many visitors from other con- gregations being present. The bishop gave forcble discourse, speaking with
 out notes. Like all his public utterances, the sermon was characterized by clear
 ness and simplicity. The bishop chose his text from 2d Kings f: 11-l2. He first analysed the conduct of Naaman. who was offended at the simplicity of the cure proposed by Elisha. The bish- op discovered in Naaman's objections, the personal slight to himself, the sim plicity of the remedy proposed and his offence at the passing by and underval- uing the rivers of her country. In ap- plying the truth the bishop said the sim ner must first recognize her great sinful ness l; the loathsomeness of sin. There are some people, said the bishop, when the gospel of repentance is preached to them, who will turn away because of the simplicity of the Gospel. Then again, the bishop pointed out, there are many people who are asking for signs. But the great sign of Christ's church to-day and all days is the preaching of the Cos pei to the sick, the halt and the blind. God works, not by surprises or sensa- tions, but by the still operations of His Spirit. These people who are asking for signs forget to use the daily means of grace. In closing the bishop referred to the Worlds congress of religions at Chicago and paid tribute to Christian ity as the religion for all peoples, and creeds and climes. A class of Is was confirmed at the close of the service.

Its dimen- sions are 800 by 300 feet, with an inter- secting nave and transept crossing the building, north and south, east and west. It has four grand entrances, richly orna- mented with sculptures and other decor ations and approached by broad flights of steps. The principal walls are of brick, covered, of course, with staff, and the galleries, floors and roof are of iron. The central dome is surmounted by colos- sal statue of the famous figure, the ''Winged Victory" Of the oil paintings in this Art Palace 1000 are furnished by the United States, Az by France, 46l by Great Britain, 42l by Germany, 204 by Belgium, 193 by Italy and 19l by Hol- and.
 HISTORIC PAINTING
 entitled Pocahontas we noticed. It was l2 by 10 feet and contained 34 figures. It represented Pocahontas, the daughter of Powhatan. child of 10 or F years, and dearly beloved by her father, saving the life of Capt Smith. Smith has been cap tured by Opechancanough, a powerful chieftain of the Pamunky Indians. He was regarded by the sayages as super for being and was treated with kindness, though kept a close prisoner. He is brought at length into the presence of Powhatan, and condemned to death. Two great stones are then brought into the assembly. and laid before the king. The captain is seized and dragged to the stones, forced down and his head laid upon them. Two brawny savages are selected to beat out his brains with their clubs. The painting is designed to rep resent this last act. Pocahontas has pre- viously plead with her father to spare the life of Capt Smith. She failed to excite his pity. As the clubs of these warriors are raised to do the death deed,
 SHE SPRINGS FORWARD
 at the moment and throws herself by his side, claps her arms about his neck and laid her head upon his to protect him from the impending stroke. This re- markable action in one so young moved the savages with profound astonishment. It seemed to them that it was the will of the great Manitou, that the captain should be spared. This was not the on. ly thing done, but they sought his friend ship. He was given to Pocahontas to make beads and bells for her, and to weave for her ornaments of copper. Her fondness for him grew stronger every day and ceased only with her life. After while Capt Smith was allowed to RETURN TO JAMESTOWN
 on condition that he should send to King Powhatan two cannon and grindstone. He showed the Indians who accompanied him to Jamestown the cannon, two of the
 largest and asked them to lift them. This
 was impossible, nor did they succeed
 with the grindstone any better. He ther 2 fired of he cannon that so frightened q them that they would have nothing to dc , with them.-[ Rev A. Gardner, Warren, 0 let.

SONG.

How many times do love thee, dear: Tell me how many thoughts there be
 In the atmosphere
 Of a new tall'n year, Whose white and sable hours appear The latest flake of eternity So many times do love thee, dear. How many times do love, again: Tell me how many beads there are
 In a silver chain
 Ot evening rain Unraveled from the tumbling main And threading the eye of yellow star So many times do I love again. -. Thomas Lowell Beddoes in Me

He has a steam saw mill and gets out both sawed and hewed ties. In the course of year he gets out 16, ,O0O to ,O00 ties. MT Taylor says that the chestnut makes superior tie to any other wood and is preferred by railroad men generally. Oak ties are used some, but will not last as long as chestnut, al- though the wood is harder. MT Taylor is veteran in his business, having got ten out ties all along the Danbury and Norwalk, and in various towns in Litch- field county. Just now the market for ties is rather quiet, as many of the roads are not buying to any extent.

She Had Her own way.

In parlor car, on an Eastern train, sat a richly dressed young woman, tenderly holding very small poodle.
 Madam" said the conductor, as he punched her ticket, "I am very sorry, but you can't have your dog in this car. It's against the rules"
 "I shall hold him in my lap all the way" she replied, land he will dis turb no one.
 'That makes no difference" said the conductor, ''I couldn't allow my own dog here. Dogs must ride in the baggage car I'll fasten him all right for you"
 "Don't you touch my dog, sir, :" said the young woman excitedly: "T will trust him to no one!" and with indignant tread she marched to the baggage car, tied her dog, and re- turned.
 About fifty miles further on, when the conductor came along again, she asked him: "Will you tell me if my dog is all righti"
 "I am very sorry" said the con ductor politely, "but you tied him to a trunk, and he was thrown off with it at the last station. "-Toron- to Saturday Night.

Gresham's Courage.

Gresham is as well known for his physical courage as for any of his other traits. It is told of him that in 1865, when running for congress against Michael c. Kerr, both can didates happened to have hit one day. upon the same place and the same hour for public meeting. An immense crowd gath cred, large share of it being made up of the political enemies of Gresham. It was de- cied that the speakers on both sides should be heard, the Democrats first and the Republicans afterward.
 When it came Gresham turn to speak, a big bully in the audience, with pistol fastened conspicuously outside of his clothing, attempted to howl him down. Gresham insisted on being heard. The bully kept up his disturbance, and Gresham pres- ently sprang down from the stage and advanced upon the troublesome auditor.
 'I came here to make speech, |" he said, "and am going to make it. My friends and have listened court eously to the speeches on your side, and all we ask is that those who don't want to give us fair play in re. turn shall quit the place. As for you, personally" shaking his fin ger ominously at the disturber, "I know you for vagabond and a scoundrel. You are the man who shot Enrolling Officer B. and threw his body into the Wabash rivera
 The charge created great excite. ment, for the substance of it had been secretely whispered about the neighborhood for years. The ac- cused drew bis pistol, but Gresham had one ready, too, and the pair stood facing each other for perhaps a minute in silence. Then the bully dropped his pistol-arm at his side and slunk away in the crowd, while Gresham returned to the platform and coolly finished his speech.- Kate Fields Washington.

himself. He was an Americana, q cursed gringo for whom long years ago the sheriffs of California aud Nevada had chased in vain, who had sought refuge and mate in Sonora, and whose swarthy features found no difficulty in masquerading under Mexican name when the language of love had made him familiar with the Mexican tongue.
 Slow to action, slow of speech as was the paymaster, he was not slow to see that Sergeant Feeny was anxious and ill-at-ease, and if a veteran trooper whom his captain had pronounced the coolest, pluck lest and most reliable man in the regiment could be so disturbed over the indications, it was high time to take precaution. What was the threatened dangerf Apachesi They would never assault the ranch with its guard of soldiers, whatso- ever they might do in the canons in the range beyond. Outlawsf They had not been heard of for months. He had inquired into all this at Yuma, at the stage stations, by mail of the commanding officers at Lowell and Bowie and Grant. Not for six months had stage been ''held up" or a blackboard jumped" south of the turoid Gila. True, there was rumor of riot and lawlessness among the miners at Castle Dome and the customary shooting scrape at Ehrenberg an La Plaz, but these were river towns, far behind him now as he looked back over the desert trail and aloft into the star studded, cloudless sky. Nothing could be more placid, nothing less prophetic of peril or ambush, than this exquisite summer night. Some where within the forbidden region of Moreno's harem guitar was be- ginning to tinkle softly. That was all very well, but then woman's voice, anything but soft, took up a strange, monotonous refrain. Line after line, verse after verse, it ran, harsh, changeless. He could not distin guish the words-he did not wish to; the music was bad enough in all conscience, whatsoever it might be- come when sung by youth or beauty. As it fell from the lips of Sonora Moreno the air was a succession of vocal nasal disharmonies, high pitched, strident, nerve. wracking.

 Meeting Adjourned Sine Die.
 Julia, said Mir. Pilver, the other morning while sitting at the breakfast table waiting for his coffee to cool, says The Rochester Demo crat, Julia, let's have monetary con rerence.
 Mrs. PiIver is treasurer of the establishment and the suggestion immediately attracted her attention. "A monetary conference, JamesP' she queried cautiously.
 csYes,n said Mir. Pilver, with an insare giggle, something like they have just had in Brussels, you know"
 "Wellf"
 "Well, we'll pretend to be coun- tries, you know. You can be France, and I'll be--let's see, I'll be-
 Russia" suggested Mrs. Pilver, with great significance.
 "Yes, Russia, Russia, of course,' z said Mr. Pilver, nervously. "Now, we'll imagine that we've heard lot of talk about silver and gold and bi- metallism and other things like those, just to get our minds in shape to think of money, without realizing its value, you know. Do you think your minds in shape to do that nowf"
 "I'll risk it." said Mrs. Pilver, grimly.
 "Well, then, Russia would like to negotiate loan with France. Not large loan, you know, although it 5 the custom for nations to deal in large sums of money. But say"
 "I didn't know that they nego- tiated loans at the Brussels confer ence," interrupted France.
 "They didn't" admitted Russia. "but of course they could have done so. What good would a monetary conference be, I'd like to know, if money couldn't be borrowed at itf But, as I said, Russia asks only a small loan, so, $1.75 or s."
 ''Did 1 understand you to say !, James," said France, "that you wanted this conference to be as much like the Brussels conference as possible. '
 
 "Yes,'' said Russia, hopefully.
 "Then I declare it adjourned un- til next summer," said Francs de- cisively, and when MT. Pilver sadly turned his attention to his tempo rarily neglected coffee he saw thin crust of ice had formed upon 1t.

The Result of Experiments Made by intei-
 Iigent Persons.

Iigent Persons.
 For many years doctors and hycienists have had much to say on the subject of no food just before bedtime, says The Leader. A mum Der of intelligent persons have ex- perimented in this line and have satisfied themselves and their imme- diate associates that there is great deal of nonsense in this kind of talk. All brain workers especially find that if they go to bed in any degree hungry it often means q sleepless night and weary, dragged-out feeling next morning; fortunate indeed, are they if they escape headache.
 There is in the minds of many persons no clear cut line of denmark ation between gorging and absti- hence. If these people can not eat a hearty meal, indulging in salads and heavy foods, they seem to think that they must take nothing at all, and indeed they are better if they do not take such hearty food; but this by no means indicates that they must go to bed hungry. One of the best evening dishes Is waters made of sifted graham four and ripe ap- pie. Pare and slice the apple and eat the two together, being careful that they are thoroughly masticated.
 There are many hygienists who claim, and possibly with some show of reason, that the hull of the grain that is ground in with full graham four is not especially digcstible. This being the case an ordi nary household sieve will clear the flour of the undesirable material. A we'll beaten egg, a cup of sweet milk, pinch of salt, spccnful of baking powder and enough of this sifte1 flour to make a batter about as thick as that used for layer cake are put into shallow pans-jelly cake pans are good and baked in a very hot oven. It is not sufficient that the oven be merely at ordinary heat, but must be at as high tenn perature as possible without burn ing, and the baking must begin at once.
 The result of this, if properly managed, will be crisp, sweet and delicious wafer thatis is, without ques- tion, one ot the most nutritious and easily assimilaled of all foods.
