 While months had been spent in con- siGeriug the nominations of Messrs. Hornblower and Peckham, and much time devoted to them by the senate committee on judiciary, the name of MT. White was not referred to the com mittee at all, and in less than an hour after the nomination had been received the senate had placed its seal of approval upon the selection, had robbed itself of an esteemed member and had given the supreme court the one man necessary to make :. full bench. The nomination was re- ceived through Private Secretary Pru- den about a:40 o'clock, when Senator Daniel was engaged in speech on the Hawaiian question. He immediately announced his willingness to suspend, and upon his doing so MT. Caffrey moved an executive session.

SYSTEMATIC GIVING.

''Honor the Lord with thy substance
and with the first fruits of all thine in
crease; so shall thy barns be filed with
plenty and thy presses shall burst out
with new wine.O
These words are as true. to-day and
apply as pointedly to us living in the
nineteenth century after Christ, as
they did to those for whom they were
written a thousand years before his
coming.
From the earliest time of which we
have any account, giving formed a
large part of all kinds Of worship.
The heather gave the best of what
they had to their idols; the early
christians gave freely Of their gold,
silver and precious stones, as well as
from their focks and herds, for they
believed that one-tenth belonged to
the Lord; that it should be used for
His glory, and they gave it regularly
every year. Is there any reason why
we should not do the same now? No,

CONVENTION NOTES.

All liked the singing of Miss Mar
garet Jerrard. We liked her, too.
The music at the convention was
fine. Everybody sang. That's why.
Do you take the Cleaner? If not, why
not? It is only 25cts. a year and it is a
little gem.
When you want short, spicy, wise
answers get Miss Holbrook at the
question box.
Miss Frank Estes served on the s'all
purpose committee, and nobly, too.
She is worker.
Miss Middleton won all hearts by
her gentle loving way with the little
people-the boys and girls. -,
Rev. Mr.. Hulbert's last days among
us were his best days. He is right at
home in a G. E. convention.
We will miss the pleasant face OF
Mrs. Hook from the secretary's desk.
Sorry she does not live in St. Cloud.
Miss Peterson gave gracious and
patient services as organist through
| the frequent sessions of the convention.
| Did you get one of those dainty G. E.
badges? What a pity. Send to Mrs.
Hook, Glenwood, she will gladly sup:
ply you. -a..-.
Rev. Holp, of Paynesville, is help
every time. He more than once ably
filled in the gap made by an absent
speaker. .~
One more lawyer on the way tc
heaven. Supt Hunt shows us the way
by his earnest endeavor in travelling
heaven-ward himself.
Mrs. J. Carrie Clark makes a GOOD
presiding officer. Prompt, cheerful
energetic and persistent. She was re-
elected. Served her right.
Great credit is due to the young PEG
pie who decorated the church with
such quiet but elegant taste. It was
both a restful and charming place.
''Only plain book-keeper" said Mr.
Chase when told that he had beer
taken for a D. D., during his excellent
talk on Glow to Study the Bible .
Miss Sara Jansen is just the one fol-
vice president. Don't you see how
nicely she fills the presidents chat,
whenever called upon? Miss Clark
thinks SO, too.

Monarch of the Inland Seas.

The completion and placing in COM
mission of the new steamship s:North-
west" by the Northern Steamship Com
pany marks an epoch in the history of
the Great Lakes. No craft of ancient or
modern times can eclipse this marvel
Of ship construction, and but few com
pare with it. The ''Northwest'' in
length is $50 feet between perpendic-
ulars, 1888 feet over all, breadth nodded,
Al feet; depth, 26 feet; depth to spar
deck, 81 feet inches. The vessel is
built Of mild steel throughout, with an
inner bottom extending from the col
lision bulkhead forward to the after
peak bulkhead aft, and has been built
under special survey in order to obtain
the highest classifcati in the United
States standard rules. The hull is
divided into numerous water-tight
compartments, and the construction
throughout has been planned and car
ried out with the view of making the
vessel not only the most modern and
luxurious, but also the safest and
strongest conveyance on the lakes.
The boilers are the Belleville patent
Water-tube system, and with natural
draft will give the main engines 1000
horse power and to the auxiliaries 500
horse power more. The boilers are in
two groups Of ten each and one group
of eight An electric light plant sup
plies illumination for the entire vessel.
In all appointments no vessel on the
ocean is more luxurious or complete.
It is an exclusively passenger steamer
and the conveniences Of the finest
American hotels are outrivaled by the
magnificent new Northwest In the
palatial dining room $50 passengers
may be seated at one time. The
steamer will make the first trip from
Duluth on June 9th, operating regu-
larly thereafter between that point,
Sault Ste Marie, Detroit, Cleveland
and Buffalo, leaving. Duluth on the
eastward trip every Friday at 4 r. NJ,
arriving at the $500 Saturday I'm

ming after devotionals, led by Miss
Gale, we had q most excellent address
by our State secretary, Miss Holbrook,
upon Christian Citizenship To!say
that she handled the subject in mas.
terly manner seems but faint praise
Her statistics regarding crime and in.
temperance were simply appalling and
her appeals to christian men and
women and boys and girls to rouse and
bestir themselves were tender and
touching in the extreme. .
Sabbath morning: One of the best
hours of the convention was listening
to Mr.. Jesse Chase Of st. Cloud upon
''The Secrets of Spiritual Growth
This was followed by the regular
church services. The sermon being
preached in an earnest and effective
manner by Rev. Evans, Of Big Lake,
from the text Occupy Till I Come:
and ssTo Him that is Faithful Will ]
Give a Crown of Life. =
Sunday P. M: After devotionals led
by Miss Rhodes, another free parlia.
ment led by Rev. Hubert, which was
really a very spirited and interesting
discussion of ways and means for man
aging and developing the various com
mittees. We look for grand results
when all these suggestions shall be
carried out. Another hour with the
juniors led by the faithful and efficient
Supt., Miss Middleton, after which she
answered the questions from the ques-
ton box in very happy and satisfac-
tory manner.
Sunday evening after delightful
song service led by President Clark
the convention sermon was preached
by Rev. J. w. Crooks, of St. Cloud.
1t was powerful sermon and we'll re-
ceived by the large audience present.
This was followed by the conservation
service in which many took part. After
singing the dear old hymn, 'tGod be
with you till we meet again." and the
parting benediction, the convention
adjourned to meet in June next at
Long Prairie. So ended the grand
and glorious convention of '94. May
there be many more to follow.

In an attack on the monthly crop bull
letins issued by the national department.
Of agriculture a congressman declares
they are only issued in the interest Of
grain and other spectators, and that
the information leaks out Of the bureau
of statistics in advance Of publication SO
that the spectators may get the benefit
of it ahead Of other people. Secretary
Morton denies that this is SO. He be-
lieves, however, that it ought to be left
to the secretary discretion when these
crop bulletins should be issued and not
fixed monthly by law. Then he could
publish bulletin when he got ready.
But what advantage would that be?
Would it not be then as easy for specu-
lators to bride dishonest clerks as it is
now-that is, if there were any dishon-
est clerks in the agricultural depart
ment, which heaven forbid What If at
some future time it should be our ma
tional misfortune to have at the head Of
our agricultural interests man who,
unlike Secretary Morton, was himself
not above playing into the hands Of mil
honaire grain spectators? Human ma
ture is weak. Such mist fortunes are not
unknown I'M IN the history Of our country
even in some Of our highest government
circles. How then should We be better
of than we are now?

suddenly find an empty treasury. What
can they do? How dare they try to
carry on the enormous amount Of work
they do and depend largely on the
caprice, as you might say, Of the PEG
pie for support. Oil let us christian
endeavorers make stand and reyolu-
tionize this giving! II you cannot give
but q dollar a year, give cheerfully, too,
for God loveth cheerful giver.''
Have system about your giving, for it
is an art nowadays but practice i'm
proves one. And remember, the
widows mite was blessed as much as
the gold of the rich Barnabas. For,
IF there be first a willing mind it is
accepted according to that man hath
and not according to that he hath not,''
and there are SO many ways in which
you can accomplish great good with
but little money. # you do not want
to undertake a thing alone, take it into
your society, even though your society
has all it can do to meet its own obli-
. s 81 Z & % : :
cations at home Get your own heart
right on this subject; be enthusiastic
How much. you can accomplish with a
little enthusiasm! Things that before
seemed impossible are found to be easy
if you set to work with a will. There
lis one little act that is easy to do and
does great good. Gather up around
your town old books, which people do
not need, text books, good story-books,
anything from which pleasure or bene-
fit can be derived and they would be
thankfully received by many schools in
the south and even in forei gn countries.
Carleton College did that for Miss Mil
lard, of India, this year. There are
many such ways in which you can ben
eft others with but little sacrifice on
your own part. But I will leave for
you to find out, it is not hard and the
field is large.
But during this time what is to be
the effect on the giver? It makes him
a better, broader christian and thinker.
If a man is to give $500 for foreign
missions he begins to look around to
find where it is going? What the
American board is doing? The num-
Der of missionaries in foreign fields, &c.
You know some think it is the thing to
say they "don't believe in foreign mis-
sions." It is because they know moth
ing about them, but as soon as they be-
gin to study about and understand the
great work that is being done and the
necessity for it, then they cannot help
but be interested; when people are in
terested in a cause they will do all
they can to aid it, and it is the same
with home missions. Giving begets
giving and when we do get our hearts
right on this subject then we will be
stewards in truth. Let me say again,
give. Give systematically, regularly,
cheerfully, because, God wants us to;
it is best for the work, and it is best
for us. And remember, eve brought
nothing into this world and it is GER
tain we can carry nothing out" then,
LAY up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be ALSO"

Getting Rid of an Elephant.

The authorities of the menagerie in
Central park, New Y ork, have found out
that, advanced in civilization as we are,
we do not yet know how to kill an ele-
plant. Tip, the huge beast at the park
menagerie, who became so dangerous
that he could no longer be permitted to
live, seemed to have premonition of
the fate in store for him. Several at
tempts to poison him were unsuccessful
~ made before the final one. First
carrot was offered to him into which his
quietus had been put. He simply refused
the vegetable and turned and looked
squarely at his keeper. The next attempt
was attended with the same result.
+ Finally deadly powder, cyanide of
potassium, was mixed in his food, and
that deceived him. This was at 6 in the
morning. It had no effect. At 3 o'clock
in the afternoon two ounces more of the
drug were administered. Soon after
ward Tip went into commissions and
died a painful death an hour later. His
who saw it will not like to wake in the
night and remember. Either not enough
Of the poison had been administered, or
else some other way should have been
chosen to get rid of Tip.
Certainly it seems as if in all New
York there ought to have been a marks
man Of sufficient nerve and accuracy to
shoot Tip dead. Sir Samuel Baker, in his
book, "Ride and Hound In Ceylon,'' says
he always killed elephants by a single
rifle shot in the middle of the forehead.
Or, if no rifeman courageous enough for
the task was found in the big city, it is
wonder that electricity was not tried.
The electric light and street car COM
panies do all they can to prevent the
current from being used for killing pur-
poses, but for~aI that death would have
come to Tip by electricity in far more
humane way than it did come. .

Taking a Girls Arm.

style Of locomotion confined to any par

that occasionally starts up in the crude
society Of the country village, and, re-
versing the usual rule of social con-
tagion, spreads to the metropolis. Being
simply a recorder and not an arbiter in
such matters, | am not prepared to say
that it is strictly fashionable in New
York, much less proper or in good form.

A Talk with a Bird Fancier.

Mocking birds come from Texas chief
ly. Albany in that state is the head
quarters for them. One trapper there
sends me from so to 100 hooking birds
every week in crates. | forward nearly
all of them to New York, exchanging
them for other stock. The system Of ex-
change is carried on to a great extent in
the fancier's business. Most Of the stock
that we get from boys is negotiated on
that plan; so many rabbits make a SPUR
rel, and SO on.
| do a considerable trade in peacocks,
which customers who have country
places buy for ornamental purposes.
Farmers raise them in Maryland and
Virginia. Goldfish are prOpagated by
regular breeders in Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, who send them to me
in cans, but the fancy goldfish, with
double tails, are imported from Japan to
San Francisco and reshipped from that
city.
Those stuffed birds are pets. Their
owner bring them here for the purpose;
four legged beasts, too, of all sorts. A
squirrel is one Of the most difficult ami
mails to stuff successfully. Food is an
item in caring for such a menagerie as
this; it costs me nearly 81 900 a year.

Treatment of Bores.

The redOubtable Samuel Parr proved
as great a pore to De Quincy as the dip
lomatist did to Coleridge. The opium
eater, sensitive little spirit that he was,
did not often put himself in the way of
being bored. He was completely taken
by surprise, on his first meeting with
the scholar Of prodigious fame, to find
him no better than a SANDER mongering
"Old babbler."
Byron's method of dealing with the
gentry was even more ingenious than
SCOTS, who himself assumed the ardu.
Gus task of boring his bore. Byron used
to set Monk Lewis Whom he found
as great a bore as Scott did, on to some
'~'vivacious person." who peculiarly alb.
hOrred the tribe-as, for example, he
says, Nine. de Stael or Hobhouse-and
leave the pair to fight it out together,
while he quietly enjoyed his revenge.
But even this was more humane than
the conduct Of those who, like Douglas
Jerrold, leave their bore in the lurch.
"Well, what's going on today?' asked
the bore, full primed for a siege. 81
am" returned the wit, hurrying remorse
lessly past.

his companions at the breakfast table

"Drat Such Lpck!s'

Rldlcula il as We may, there is some
thing in luck, and if there isn't you can
not break the faith of some people. The
other day a young English friend of
mine picked up a two and a half cent
Columbian silver coin-probably the
smallest silver piece in the world.
That's luck" said the young man,
who has an English syndicate deal on
his hands. He felt more confidence in
the coin as the day advanced, for be
showed it to several friends, all of whom
curiously examined the piece and smiled
with its possessor. He finally went joy
fully home late for dinner, and found bis
wife fretting and with red eyes. He be
gan to cheer her up by pleasantly begin
ming the topic of his afternoon and ex,
hibiting his find.
Luck! Luck! Don't you talk to me
about luck!" she fairly shrieked, plung.
ing into the sofa cushions and mysteries.
In the course of half an hours hard
work she had recovered sufficiently tc
inform him that she had her pocket
picked while out shopping and lost a dia-
mOnd ring she had been afraid to wear
and all the money given her that morn,
ing for her summer clothes. Finally she
braced up all at once and said impera-
lively:
Gimme that coin!" AS she pitched
it out of the window she uttered the
usual feminine oath, "Drat the thing,
there!' and both she and her husband
felt better.-New York Herald.
