\ FingerIeSs Family.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
In Lincolnshire village in England lives
a family who suffer under the curious de
formity of being fingerless. This peculiarl-
ty does not seem to be ne of those freaks
of nature which may appear in one individ-
ual and not be transmitted to the next gen.
Grafton. From what can be learned, the
singularity has ted in this family SC
far as history or tradition extends, and
there seems at present no signs of its dying
out, as the grandchildren are devoid OF
fingers as their grandsre. The hands OF
this remarkable family present the appear
ance of having had the fingers amputated
or chopped off roughly and unevenly below
the second joint, leaving a short stump
There is no nail or hard substance, and
were 1t not for the absence of anything like
a cicatrice casual observers would conclude
that the defect was due to an accident but
as though nature had attempted to com
penSate for the absence of fingers, the
thumbs are abnormany large and strong
The family are in other respects fully en-
dowed by nature and do not appear to suf-
fer the disadvantages the absence of ting-
ers might be expected 30 entail. One of the
daughters, aged twenty, can write, sew,
knit, and Is in every way as deXterous and
accomplished as other girls of her age and
station

Return of Encl<e's Comet.

From the New York Herald
The small but celebrated comet discovered
in the last century, and whose periodicity
was determined by the Berlin astronomer,
Encke, in 1873, has just been sighted again
by Professor Cerulli of Teramo, Italy
A cablegram from Kiel on Friday an
nouncing its temperance as a telescope
object stated that the comet is very faint.
It's celebrity is due to the fact that since
it was first detected 1T has been increasing
it's velocity and shortening its period of
revolution around the sun at the rate of
two and one-half hours in every revolution.
Strange as it may seem, the increase of
speed is caused by the comets meeting
with resistance of some kind, the nature of
which is not known. But the resistance 1t
encounters (most probably a stream of
meteoric NATTER brings 1T nearer the sun.
and consequently more under the accel-
Grating power of the suns attraction.
on its present visit to the solar system
Enckes comet will be an object of great
telescope interest, possibly becoming Wis
ible also to the naked eye. Its journey
around the sun is performed in 1.2lO days,
subject to the irregularity which has been
already noted.

THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH.
The Peculiar Demand for Such Work
In Large Cities.

Rev. Josiah Strong, ID.
1.-The only way to save the city is to save
it's citizens. AS the city grows larger and
the more needs saving. the weaker elative-
ly are the two great saving institutions
on which we must rely for it's regenera-
ton.
Look now at the re1a ticns of the institu-
tional church to this problem Many
churches are planted IN the midst of homes,
where there is every opportunity for the
development Of normal physical intel
lectual, social and moral life. Other church
es are located In the midst of great tene-
ment-house populations, where there are
few homes. This is where the institu-
tional church is peculiarly needed and II
is the peculiar province of the institu-
tional church to perform, far posi-
BILE the functions Of ythe home. 1t must
give opportunities for; physical, intellect
ual and social culture, which the lodging
house district does not afford so that in
the institutional chufrn meet the two great
saving institutions Of society.
IF, now, the neglected part of every great
city could be divided between the various
denominations, each accepting the respon-
Sibility of its own block of ten or fifteen
or twenty thousand people, and each de-
nomination should plant III its own district
a thoroughly equipped institutional church,
with its kindergartens its trained nurses,
its deacOneSSes. its gymnasium. its baths,
its facilities for clubs, for evening schools
and lectures, this would be no great bur-
a
New York city several churches are each
equipping such a church
mo church work makes larger returns
for the money invested in 1t. Comparing
the institutional churches of the Congrega-
tional denomination with the remaining
Congregational churches we find that the
number of additions on confessions o" faith
last year averaged six times as large in
the former as in the latter and notwith-
standing the fact that institutional church.
es are generally located in the most dis
cOGfaging districts, where churches on the
old lines of work have died OF been COM
relied to move away the number of addi-
lions on confession of faith compared
with membership were last year thirty
three per cent larger in the institutional
churches than in the other churches of the
denomination, indicating that the recogni-
ton of the whole man increases the spirit
ual life instead of decreasing it, as some
have feared
around these institutional churches
should be planted missions on the McAI
plan, as many may be needed to cover
the district assigned to that institutional
church. In View of the demonstrated sue
cess of such missions and such churches
1t Is not too much to say that a sufficient
number of them established on the plan
indicated would solve the religious problem
of the CITY. and that is by far the most
important factor of the city's problem"

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.
The Work Done at the Different Sta
lions to BE Discussed.

The work of the agricultural experiment
stations in this country will be thoroughly
reviewed and plans discussed at the forth
coming eighth annual convention of the AS
ISOLATION of American Colleges and Expert
ment Stations. The meeting will begin in
this city next Tuesday and close Friday,
and large gathering of agricultural experts
Is expected. General sessions will be held
daily. Addresses Will be made by Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Dabney. Commits
sioner of Education Harris and by various
experts In agricultural matters. Reports
Will be received from committees and Sec
ton chairmen, and all sections will meet
for organization and preliminary business.
Gen. Stephen d. Lee, president of the Mis-
sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege and president Of the association, will
deliver his annual address in the evening.
reports received from the colleges during
the past two years indicate that while the
facilities for instruction in agricultural
courses have been increased as the result
OF the act of 1890, the number of students
In the regular college courses in agriculture
still continues to be relatively small In
E.any institutions. The short courses, how
ever, are shown to be increasingly popular
ana wherever special courses as in dairy
ing, have been established, they have been
well attended. The colleges say the Agri-
cultural Department officials, are principally
useful In training the leaders in agricul-
tural progress. Colleges having agricul-
tural courses are in operation in all of the
states and territories, aggregating sixty
five, and separate institutions for white and
colored students are maintained in fourteen
of the states
Forty-nine of these colleges receive the
appropriation provided for in the act of
March 2, 1887.
Experiment stations are also in opera ton
in all the states and territories except
Alaska, numbering fifty-five, exclusive of
the branch stations.
