long remembered in Augusta. II is said
that no day Of equal religious interest in
this city has been known for 90 years.
AT the close of the morning services the
Congregationalist, Free Baptist. Metho-
dist and Baptist Sabbath schools as
sembled, crowding both rooms of the Con
gregational chapel. So far as could be
seen from the platform, at this meeting,
every person rose when Mr.. Gale asked
those who desired to be Christians to
manifest it in that way
Later in the afternoon, two other re
markable services Were held. First Mr..
Gale addressed an audience composed ex-
ciusiyely of women. which crowded the
Methodist church to its utmost capacity.
The next meeting was for men only, and
was held in the Baptist church. At this
service deeply interested oniookers were
electrified by the sight of the large number
OF men who walked to the front of the
church In the presence of the great audi
ence All these, in the after meeting that
followed. expressed by word of mouth their
purpose to lead the Christian life.
In the evening, the pews in the Baptist
church were filled, and l15 extra seats
were brought in and led also. This service
closed with another fruitful after meeting

food, says the Mirror and Farmer. Two
eggs week from each hen will give q
profit. The greater the number of egg,
laid the smaller the cost of each egg and
Hhe larger the profit. Hence the hen thai
lays three eggs per week gives twice the
profit that is derived from hen that lays
two eggs week because the cost of the
food is the same in both cases 1t is i'm
portant therefore, to give the hens any
variety of food that will add only one
more egg to the number, as but small
addition to the whole adds largely to the
profit. For a cold climate the bred

Irish Types.

Three types at least arc observable In
the south of Ireland-frst, the dark 1tal-
ian looking Colt, also found in Devon; sec
ondly, tho tall, yellow haired Danish type,
and, thirdly, the aboriginal AryGn of the
Volga, with red or auburn hair and blue
or green eyes, who may also be found in
Cornwall.
The dark aquilino typo of Wales differs
considerably from that of the Irish and
the Irish language is nearer akin to Corn
ish than to Welsh. The traditional Irish
man of caricatures is not often seen in the
south, though this type is not unknown
even among the upper classes.
The soft features and bright eyes of the
modest peasant women present many va
ricties of beauty, and the mingled race of
Cork and kcrry-fairer, as rule, than
that of the far VESTS as vigorous as any
