Christian Endeavor Briefs.

Halifax union now comprises 81 So
oieties, gain Of seven societies or 388
members over the preceding year. Best
Of oil was tho report that 1G5 associate
members had united with tho church
during tho year, and that $3.50 had been
given to missions. All honor to our
brethren OF New Brunswick
One of tho lessons that every c. L.
society should teach is that Of prompt
ness and punctuality. Let the public
services commence at the appointed
hour.
There is no reason why the O. Il. So
oiety should not have revival on its
own account. 1t is not necessary to wait
for the church. And when revival
commences with tho Endeavorers it will
not be long in reaching the entire con-
gregation.
One Of the hard lessons that the young
Christian has to learn is that there is
something for him to suffer for Christ
as well as something to do for Him.
The secretary reports 116 societies In

These are the words that we hear grow
ing louder and louder as the time for
the Boston convention draws near. Bos-
ton, '95, is to BIO first and foremost
missionary gathering.
The Hawaiian Islands report several
furnishing Christian Endeavor societies
that know no revolution from the steady
march of Christian progress. 1t seems as
if "every kindred, every tribe, +" could
praise God for the Christian Endeavor
movement.
A Lima IN. " society finds an
"antigossip pledge" conducive to the
spirituality of the members.
Sec how Christian Endeavor grows in
Walesl In July, 1893, only 30 societies;
in February, 1895, more than 1870, and
rapidly increasing.
Some Endeavorers were praying ear
nestly for months that one of their So
oiety might be led to enlist in foreign
missionary work. Before long two En-
deavorers from that society declared
their intention to go to the foreign field
when tho way opened.
The Waco (Tex.) Christian Endeav-
orer suggests that the Boston convention
and the state convention should be con-
tinually kept before societies by the in
formation committees, who could report
from week to week the progress that is
being made by the convention commit
toes.
At a recent meeting in the Moody
church, Chicago, the juniors outnum-
bered the young people three to one.
The 12-year-old secretary Of the junior
society led the meeting in manner that,
would have done credit to many an older
person. The meeting was remarkably
successful.

The municipality of Geneva has re-
Gently built new reservoir on the Bes-
singes heights at an elevation Of about
440 feet above the level Of the lake.
This reservoir is filed by motor power
obtained from an artificial fall of the
waters at the Rhone, where it leaves
the lake. At the entrance of the harbor
q waterspout is provided, which is turn
ed on only Sunday and several evenings
during the week. The spout is the big
gest in Europe, rising to nearly 300 feet
in the air. In clear weather it can be
seen from afar and appears like a sail
oscillating in the wind On summer
evenings other beautiful effects are
shown, with several smaller fountains
electrically illuminated in various col
ors. These water fireworks, as they style
this entertainment, have become great
favorites, and the natives and tourists
are greatly admiring the innovation.

Mr.. Powe, in speaking of snakes, said
that tho "coachwhip snake" was the ter
ror of the negroes. There was an old
superstition among them that the coach
whip would whip man to death and
then put the tip of its tail into the nos
trils of the victim to see if he was dead.
An old negro man went out to catch the
horses of the party, which were turned
into pasture, while they were out fishing
and hunting, and on the way began
to think about snakes. The old man had
bride Oh his arm, and by some means
one of the long leather reins had got
loose and was dragging behind him.
His imagination had worked him up so
that the sweat was standing out on his
black skin. He CHANGED to look back and
catch glimpse of tho rein. He let
blood curdling yell and ran. He looked
back and on came the rein, which he took
for coachwhip snake after him to beat
him to death. The negro actually ran
until he fell exhausted, and then fearing
the superstitious act Of having the tip
Of the snakes tail run up his nose he
clapped his hands over his face and pre-
pared for the whipping. st. Louis Post

A FREAK OF NATURE.
Tho Navel Orange and How 1t Came to
This Country,

This country
The first navel orange was doubtless
a freak or "sport, " as horticulturists
say. To make such a fruit by artifee
would be impossible. 1t is abnormal
even in the bud The navel shows in the
bud as early as the latter can be ex-
amined under the microscope. 1t may
even be traced back to the flower, which
is double-though that word does not
express the idea very well, each blossom
having q secondary blossom within it.
In the developed fruit the navel is itself
q secondary orange, i'll some specimens
having distinct skin surrounding 1t.
The two story orange is no novelty.
A book on horticulture published in
1642 gives picture of the navel orange
and calls it ''pomum Adami futum.
This is the earliest reference known.
The blossoms rarely have any pollen, and
the fruit Is usually, though not always,
seedless The variety is reproduced by
budding Where it originated is not
known with certainty, but it was prob
ably in southern Asia. Thence it was
brought TO the region of the Mediterra-
mean and eventually diffused over the
world. A lady who had travelled in
Brazil told Mr. Saunders, chief gardener
Of the department of agriculture, about
the orange, which she had seen in that
country. Acting on this information,
Mr.. Saunders told Star reporter that
he sent to Bahia and secured a dozen
young budded trees. These reached the
United States in 1870, being tho first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others were propa-
gated. Ono of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now i'll the orange house Of the
department. of agriculture. In 1878 two
Of the trees were sent to Mrs. L. G. lib
bets of Riverside, Cal. At the same time
others were sent to Florida. But those
planted in California fruited more quick
ly and were tho first to attract attention.
1t soon became evident that the climate
of that state was better suited to the
cultivation of this variety. In Florida it
is not sufficiently productive. O., does
not bear freely enough to be profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though thoy are not
so handsome as those from California.

The Foundation Stone of Success,

The one great rule of business is that
of honesty, absolute and unqualified
honesty, writes Edward w. Box In The
Ladies' Home Journal ALI tho rules Of
business are worthless il they are not
founded on that one and only founda-
ton stone to true commercial success
Honesty is not alone the best policy in
business. 1t is tho one and only policy.
Upon it, aud upon it alone, can good
reputation BIO built, and man in bust
ness without reputation for honesty
might just as well stop. Any deviation
from the rule Of honesty in business may
bring temporary gain, but it invariably
means permanent loss. On the other
hand, strict adherence to an honest
policy may mean temporary loss, but
it is sure to result In u permanent gain.

Importance of the Exchange Reader.


The man who reads the exchanges is
q very important man, and, lot me say,
too, he is pretty highly paid man. He
has to read, we will say, 5000 papers
regularly. All tho newspapers in the
country come into the office, and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and pile of newspapers, or,
say, q cord Of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning. He starts to work
and turns them over and over to sec
what is in them. He has to know what
1t is that should BIO taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
teresting storyf 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent. 1t also ro-
quires a sense Of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem SO at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be ON hand and spend a great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day s task. 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots of amusement, and, as said, he is
very well paid. SO he is happy. Charles
A. Dana in McClure's Magazine.

A New Typewriter.

Patent rights have just been granted
to a young inventor i'll st. Paul for inn
provements ON the typewriting machine
which will greatly increase its speed.
The improvements consist Of the intro
duction of the stenographio principle,
making the machine capable of printing
whole words at single strokes of the
keys. Many of the small words and
word endings which are most frequent
ly used are represented in the new ma
chine by separate keys of their own, and
by clever device the spacing is made
to correspond automatically with the
length of the words thus set apart. An
other time saving device is the two
space lever, which enables the operator
to form the space between the words
with the same stroke which makes the
last letter of a word. An automatic spa
Ger, used to print tables of figures and
similar work, is also added to perfect
the equipment of the now typewriter.
The inventor claims that the speed to be
attained by the use Of these devices is
much greater than has yet been secured.
Next he proposes to introduce electricity
as the motive power in the manipula-
ton of all the mechanical parts, leaving
it necessary for the operator only to
press lightly on the keys to print whole
words with great rapidity. New York
