SHAKER INDIANS.

Queer Sect That Flourishes in the
Pacific Northwest.
From the Morning Oregonian.
The Indians OF this county have Just
closed religious revival, and have left
for Pacific county. where they will en-
deavor to rekindle a religious spirit among
ths tribes there Their religion IL very
unique, strikingiy original, and distinctly
Indian. 1t is known as the Shaker religion
1t Is said that 1t first originated in the
Sound country, among the Mud Bay In
dams.
The story Is that one of the tribe, John
Slocum, was taken sick and gradually
wasted away and died. Preparations were
made for his funeral, but John surprised
his friends by coming to life again the day
the funeral was to be held. He stated that
he had gone to heaven, but that he was
told to go back to earth again and help
his people, that they were very wicked,
and that he must help them. His recovery
was very rapid, and he at once started this
new sect 1t forbids the use of kerosene
oil as an Illumination; also the use of to-
bacco and intoxicating liquors of any kind.
1t has worked wonders among the Chehalis
county Indians. who previously were not
noted for their morality or sobriety. One
who has witnessed some of their meetings
says:
when a candidate announces a desire to
join he is placed in the center Of the room
on his tip-toes, with his arms extended full
length over his head. The crowd circles
around him, singing, shouting, ringing
bells, and hammering anything that will
make q noise. Frequently one Of the
heavy bells is broken, and this is hailed
with delight, as 1t is supposed that the
bad spirit has left the candidate AMI en-
tered into the BELL filling 1t to bursting
When this happens the candidate Is COM
pletely cleansed from all evil and is born
again. The candidate for admission. after
standing in the position for short time
commences to shake through fatigue.
This is taken as a sign that the good spirit
is entering; and the noise and din are, II
possible, increased as the poor victims
shaking increases, until from sheer ex-
haustion, he falls trembling upon the
ground. His conversion is then complete
and he is admitted into full membership"

FACTS ABOUT ORCHIDS.
Interest i'm the Cultivation OF These
Wonderful Flowers.

From the Chicago Herald.
OF these wonderful flowers there are two
classes, one growing on or clnging to trees.
called by botanists epiphytal, and the other
terrestrial, as growing from the soil. The
first are natives of hot climates, the second
found a rule in temperate climates. OF
these our well-known lady slipper (cypri-
pedidm) is an example. The epphytes also
grow on rocks, and even on earth, but
more for support than nourishment. There
Is said to be but one species of epiphyte
native to tho United States, an epiden-
drum (E. conopseum), found on magnolia
glauca, In the states bordering on the
Gulf Of Mexico.
The class found growing on the trunks
and bran;hes Of Il ees require high sum-
mer and winter temperature throughout
The year, and an atmosphere humid, or at
found in the hottest countries If dry or
the dampe:;t If cold. 1t is also known that
the terrestrial species will bear 4 far
greater degree of cold and drought than
the class found parasitic on trees Hence
their .'ange of climate is much greater ex-
tending in the United States into Canada
There are many nice species Of both
classes that can be successfully grown in
the ordinary greenhouse or conservatory
of our citizens by means of glass case
built on a table Of the house. 1t need have
no bottom, but should have a door on one
side to open for watering and spraying
and on the bottom of the case rare low
growing ferns will grow to perfection. In
this case both air and moisture may be
fairly controlled.
The history of orchid growing is some-
what as follows: At the end of the last
century there were only about a dozen
species of indifferently grown plants In
the greenhouses at Kew. From 1900 to
1915 ten additional species were added, and
between 1915 and 1880 fifty more new spe-
cies were received. Mr.. Cattley by expert
ment finally arrived at a succ essful mode
Of managing them. In 1910 growers on
the continent of Europe became enthusi-
astic over orchids. Then wealthy citizens
of the United States became interested.
Extravagant prices were paid for rare
species, 50 that within the last twenty-five
years the tropical forests of the world
have been secured by enthusiastic collect
ors both for European and American SALE

BIBLICAL CRITICISM.
Opinion Expressed at the Church
Congress I'm England.

Opinion Expressed at the Church
Congress in England.
From the Providence Journal.
The English Church congress for the
current year was held In the old cathe-
dral city Of Exeter. The Bishop Of Ex-
eter presided, and the program, as usual,
was full of interest. The two subjects
which we think will be most appreciated
by our readers were presented In the paper
of Professor Sunday on Biblical Criti-
cisrn," and by the Earl Of Nelson on 'The
Advantage of Reunion" We give extracts
from these two papers as specimens Of the
DIRK Of the congress, which Is a body de-
voted entirely to the consideration Of great
subjects from the point Of view Of the
Established Church. Professor Sunday, in
speaking of the change from ''vagueness
to definiteness" in theological thought, said
that 1.-The critical movement of the present
day is very different from the theological
liberalism of twenty or thirty years ago.
That liberalism had good points, but it's
criticism lay very much upon the surface
and was not really scientific. 1t reached
its conclusions long before 1t had proved
them. There is now a stricter conception
of the scientific method, which in not a
few instances had led back to q position
of things which has far more in common
with that which was supposed to be old
fashioned and out-of-date" AS examples
of this, DR.. Sunday cited the doctrines of
the Trinity, the Logos or the Divine word,
the Atonement and the union of the Chris
tan with Christ. No criticism, he said,
fairly applied to the New Testament could
ever give us an Arian or Socinian Christ.
To obtain such a result we must 60 be-
hind the New Testament. Speaking on
THE Advantages Of Reunion" the Earl of
Nelson enumerated several points on which
he thought the people might we'll congrat-
ulate themselves: a. the greater breadth
Of view exhibited at the last conference at
Grindelwald; ca the advances made toward
a large conference Of the leaders of the
chief nonconformist bodies and churchmen
on the basis of the Lambeth conference
proposals; 0 the pope's last encyclical in
its recognition Of Protestants as fellow
Christians, though separate from the out
ward unity of the great Catholic Church;
1.-The Nineteenth Century" for last July,
all pointing to that end.

Princess Suwarrow, member OF the royal
household. had gone rowing In light boat,
and invited Mr.. Clay to go with her. 1t
came on a rain, and the princess was In
light summer dress. 1t was thus necessary
to go to shore at once. But how was the
princess to get home?
Mr.. Clay proposed that she should take
the carriage and that he should find shelter
under the trees till 1t returned. The lady
seemed reluctant to do this, but at length
got in and drove off. The result was that
She was seen driving in the czar's carriage.
The czarina did not forgive Mr.. Clay for
this. Mr. Clay afterward explained The
circumstance to Prince Alexander Dolgo-

explanation in good part and believed IN
my sincerity, but he smiled in a sad way.
