John T.. Blake, of New Haven, has in
vented an apparatus for firing a rife or
shotgun by electricity. In the stock of
the gun is put dry electric battery and
the shell and the powder are placed in
proper connection. The guns now used
are not altered at all for the new pur-

formed inside as most preferred, either
at the tail or the center of the bullet.

holds that this is the greatest educa-
tional opportunity of the generation,
and the Government exhibit alone, when
properly studied, will be better than a
school term. Principals of academies,
seminaries and colleges complain that
their schools will be demoralized by the
Exposition this fall, and to meet the
case, an organized effort will be made to
get all such institutions to give one week
vacation, and bring their schools in a
body to the Exposition, SO that after
ward the pupils can go on with their
work without interruption. A number
of schools have already decided, on
their own accord, to do this.

The foregoing dec
Admirable but In larot;or truly broad
CONSISTENT and Christian and
wise in statement. is chiefly remarkable
as coming from a Review which is the
foremost authoritative exponent OF the
Methodist Church.-a church whose
creed is substantially the thirty nine
articles of the Church Of England and
the Episcopal Church Of America. In
these articles, among other things
affirmed. it is declared that all men are
responsible for Adams sin, and liable to
Gods wrath and curse, not because they
followed Adam, but because they are
born into this world inheriting his ma
ture; that they cannot Of themselves
repent; and that only those turn to God
whom God compels-and various other
particular and specific doctrines which
have always been in the creed of the
church as cardinal points of Methodist
doctrine. The Review, in giving the
above summary of the proper scope OF
church creeds, either has forgotten the
specific doctrine OF its own church, or is
looking in the direction OF a new creed
for Methodism. There is no doubt
whatever that creed constructed on
the simple lines suggested by the Review
would be very much more acceptable to
Methodists of this day and generation.
1t will be an interesting awakening
when the Methodist church in America
decides to no longer "bind its ministers
and members" to the decaying body OF
the old articles of religion. and confines
its statement of faith to "the important
and we'll ascertained truths of religion,
not likely to be altered by any new light
or any progress Of the human mind"
That day will assuredly come; it will
mark new and more progressive era
for American Methodism.

other important summer resorts,

northern Atlantic coast. The climate

majority of the permanent visitors,

ject in coming is presumably to es-
cape the extreme heat at home, the
burning pavements, the sitting at
mosphere and narrow streets and con-
fined rooms. Narragansett Pier must
answer the purpose of such fugitives

and an infinite supply of pure, fresh

surfaces of water. They may walk or

with spread wings, in the offing. The
way we went afforded also glimpses
landward,-of parties of picknickers I'M
der the trees; glimpses of the children's
boats on the pond; past lovely beds of
cannas, petunias or scarlet geraneums,o on
lovely grounds. Then through the pines
the resinous odors pungently blowing on
their faces, the ground brown with car
pet of last years needles. That little
spin was we'll worth ten cents, the round
having been made in as many minutes.
Although the orthodox Sunday schools
were scattered over the grounds, there
was plenty of room for the pretty Balti-
moreans who arrived en- fan,ilie or in
couples, at five o'clock, a thousand strong.
The people, commonplace, every day
folk, who enjoyed every minute as a
treat. Clerks with their best girls on
their arms. The Baltimoreans best girl
is generally dark. eyed, trim of figure and
with small hands and feet,-what most
fellows consider handsome. There were
all sorts and conditions, no doubt, COM
ing from that still Southern city-possi-
bly, some were trife off or bit shady
but in the decency compelling pres
ence Of family life, none was the wiser
but themselves.
Some persons have kind of scorn for
the out of-doors love making one catches
glimpses of on every side, at public re-
sort, and resent it, forgetful of the fact,
that thousands of the city homes of these,
the masses, are too cribbed and confined
to afford the young men and women any
privacy. 1t does not matter so much to
the young men, but one need but do
little thinking to know what that means
to young girl just budding into wom-
anhood. To her what lovely transition
it is to get away to public garden
where flowers bloom; where there are
cheap pleasures, rustic seats in cozy
places. and through it all the intoxicat-
ing sound Of the music by the band.
Love may be as pure and sweet that first
shows it's symptoms under the stars and
moonlight of such places as when it first
bushes under the shaded candelabra
or cluster of incandescent burners in a
private drawing-room, with mamma
kindly taking nap in the next room be-
hind the portieres. It is only coarseness,
beastliness, which needs to fear the light
or be ashamed to be seen by the moon or
stars.
We spent several hours on the cafe
piazza. looking out over the water while
we unused, and catching glimpses Of
what it is makes all things, humanely
speaking. 80 interesting. The little ca
noes full of blooming flowers swung
from iron cranes. like flower baskets,
sway in the gentle south wind. and the
tiny sailing boats on the Bay seem to
never tire of flying about over the rip
ping water. But. as the day begins to
lengthen. toward sunset. we gather up
our traps. and take the first train for
