The local committee has ordered a
map of Montreal to be printed and sent
to every delegate, so that all may fanil-
iarize themselves with the plan of the
city and learn something Of its peculiar
institutions and the enjoyable excursions
in the vicinity, Of which Montreal has 3
great many A drive to Lachine, going
by the upper road and returning by the
lower one, is very interesting and will
give one sight of the rapids of Sault
st. Louis and of the aqueduct that sup
plies the city with water, near the head
of which still stands the house Of De la
Sale. Opposite Lachine is the Mohawk
Indian village Of Caughnawaga, very
picturesque until you get close to it.
Those who have not come down the st.
Lawrence by steamer can ''shoot the
rapids" by taking one Of the small steam
ers at Lachine for Montreal.
The steamboat excursion down the st,
Lawrence to Quebec will amply repay
those who have leisure to take it, and
the lover of grand scenery should sacri-
fee good deal rather than miss the
trip to Tadousac and up the Saguenay,
A delightful excursion may also be made
to the White mountains and Lake Mem
phremagog, and those for whom it is
convenient may go right on to Portland,
Me-, Boston and New York, or to any
where in the world, for that matter,
where railroads or vessels carry passen-
gers.
But person might so much farther
from the city and not sec anything finer
than the view from Mount Royal, the
hill behind the city whence Jacques Car
tier looked upon the land and saw that it
was good. This has been appropriated
for a public park, and the drive thither
is something not to be missed. Neither
should the little trip to the park on st.
Helen's island be omitted, for it will give
you the chance of inspecting the famous
Montreal quays and the picturesque
Bonsecours market and church, which
are both near the wharf whence the
steamer leaves for the park. You can
not avoid the Place dArmes and the
Church of Notre Dame if you want to,
for they are very much in evidence in the
heart Of the city, and you will not even
have to inquire about them. no matter
how strange the town may be to you.
By all means take the elevator up to the
tower roof and get the view, which is
worth the time and trouble.
Then there is the Seminary Of st. Sui
pice, which adjoins Notre Dame in the
rear (and into the quaint courtyard Of
which you can look from the tower), the
Hotel Dieu, the Gray Nuns hospital, Nc
Gill university and any number Of
churches ane- religious, educational and
benevolent institutions Of all the creeds
in Christendom and all schools of archi-
lecture, which you can spend your spare
time in visiting. The Episcopal Christ

PRESIDENT CLARK

SECRETARY BAER. TREASURER SHAW.
{ The meetings are to be held in the
large government drill hall and on the
Champ de Mars adjoining, where large
tent will be erected. in which services
similar to and simultaneous with those
lin the hall will be conducted. The drill

ito accommodate 5000 more. The regu-
lar sessions will begin Thursday morn
ing. July 6. at 10 o'clock, though on the

active part In the proceedings, and cele-
DRAFTED evangelists, lay orators and tenn
perance workers have been assigned
places on the programme of the four
days proceedings.
President Francis E. Clark, D. D., has
positively announced his intention to be
present. He will be- home in ample
time, as he leaves Liverpool on the
Alaska on June II, after the meeting
of the national convention Of Chris
tian Endeavor for England at Bradford,
which he will attend. DR.. Clark had a
rough time Of it in Turkey, where he
undertook to foster the work of the So
ciety, and he will probably have some
thing to say to the convention about his
experiences The government got after
him and did everything possible to him
der his work, confscating his books and
other literature and forbidding him to
use the name Of the society in his adj
dresses Many Of the societies there
have been broken up. and if the Chris
titan Endeavor movement progresses in
Turkey it win be despite the efforts Of
the authorities.
President Clark and Secretary Baer
win make theiC annual reports on Thurs
day night, alternating between the drill
hall and the tent SO that the audiences
i'm both places may have the benefit Of
hearing them. There will be no regular
session on either Friday or Saturday aft

connection with the work will be held in
some of the churches. On Friday even
ing the Hon. w. G. P. Breckenridge Of
Kentucky will address the assemblage in
the drill hall, his topic being '.The Age

The annual convention of the Society

July 6, is expected to attract upward Of

much greater assemblage than has ever
been gathered there for any purpose.

local committee. however. promise ample
accommodations for this vast number,
and it is quite certain that all will be
cared for at reasonable rates. The city
has been thonbughly canvassed for sleep

been entered into for the erection Of
three large dining tents where 500 peo-
pie can be fed atonce, which will obviate
the necessity for running to distant parts
of the city for meals.

Notes on Tested Varieties of Grapes-Sug
sestions About Basging and Spraying.
A New Jersey authority on grapes,
being interviewed for the benefit of gar
dening, expressed himself as follows:
Isabella won't do well with me. Gin.
ton is not of much use to me. Moore's
EARLY doesn't bear enough. Cottage is 9
grape Of honied sweetness, a strong grow
er, fruitful and early, but not as juicy as
the Worden. 1t picks red from the stem,
the Concord picks green. Delaware is a
delicious sweet grape, but the vine lacks
vigor. Green Mountain Is good grower,
and the earliest variety to ripen that
have except Champion, which doesn't
amount to anything as grape fit to eat
It ripens about the first Of September,
and it keeps its foliage well. Coleraine
is also early and completes closely with
Green Mountain, but have not yet de-
termined which is best in quality. Sa-
lem is a fine red, meaty grape, but I can
not get big clusters Of it.
Elvira is q white grape Of poor quality.
It is vigorous grower. Black Eagle is
grand, good grape, but a poor grower
and liable to mildew, untitled for the
masses to grow. Duchess is IA good white
grape, but you have got to bag it as soon
as it blooms, else it will rot badly. It is
very uncertain. Brighton is my best
early red grapevine big clusters, and
it sets well, eats well, looks well and
sells well. Pocklington is a poor grape.
Niagara is my best white. Vergennes is
one of the grapes I take the bags off
early in September to help it to color up.

London's Egg Supply.

London is supplied weekly with 49,
900, 900 eggs, which come principally
from France, Italy, Austria and Russia.
The French eggs are esteemed the most
highly, and the Russian ones receive the
least favor, which is natural in view of
the fact that they take 81 days in transit.

space to setting forth the history and

million and a half, and there are upward
of $4,000 branches established through

calities not commonly considered to be
civilized. Father Endeavor Clark" as
the founder and president has been caress-
ingly nicknamed by some of his follow
ers, planted better than he knew, no
doubt, but nevertheless he must be graft
fed at the increase from his grain Of
mustard seed, which has already waxed
into tree of surprising greatness, not
unlike that to which the kingdom of
heaven is compared in the gospel. and in
which there can as yet be discovered no
sign of decay.

its original purposes. is there any need
or likelihood of decay. Founded pri-
marily for the "quickening of the Spir-

general good mainly through individual

forth. JOHN F. WILLoUGHBY.

bhlGHION GRAEESs
Prentiss is a good grape, but poor
grower and lacks hardness. Worden is
my best early black grape. Brilliant red
is of very fine quality, but liable to mil
dew. -
In bagging the fruit do SO as soon as
the clusters are out Of bloom. I find
very little difference in their setting,
whether put in bags before or after
blooming. While bagging is not proof
against mildew or rot it is very great
preventive, and it saves the clusters from
storms, scald, birds and frost. Bagging
pays.
Before the vines begin to grow in
sp1fng I spray them with solution of
copperas to kill the anthracnose. After
theyines leaf out I use the bordeaux
mixture. I,spray about four times dur
ing the season, say once in every two
weeks.
