IRELAND'S CROP FAILURE
The Potato Blight Spreading to an

| The Potato Blight spreading 70 an
Alarming Extent. ,si sssis5
The crops, to which referred at the
beginning of fast month as seriously In
jured, are now almost totally destroyed,
writes an Irish correspOnd dent to the Bal
timore Mirror. Hay is lying rotten on
the ground, without q prospect that
tenth Of the usual crop will be saved,
even In the upland districts. The corn
crop that is to say, the wheat, oats and
barley, is in a similar state-the high
winds which accompanied the heavy rain
having leyelled the half-ripened ears to
the ground, where they lie rotting. Rid
ing out through some of the best farming
lands in the county Of Dublin, on yester-
day and the day before, I saw field after
field Of wheat, battered fiat on the earth,
with a delicate green Yerdure spreading
over it all from the sprouting OF the
grains In the ears. It is needless to say
that these crops, where such is the case,
and it is quite general, will prove total
loss.
The potato, which may be called the
staple crop of hundreds of thousands OF
small farmers and agricultural laborers,
promised fairly well in most places up TO
a few weeks ago, but the dreaded blight

The members of one Australian soci-
ETY. have agreed among themselves to
pray regularly for one another, and a
special hour is set aside ON Sunday
morning for this purpose All the Off
GERS pray for one another by name, and
the committees do likewise.
The Christian Endeavor cause across
tho water is of the genuine stripe. In
England one society has, in addition to
the regular committees, an "old peoples
committee" and an associate mem-
bers committee " Societies ON this side
of the Atlantic may we'll heed this hint.
A capital suggestion is that no meet
ing of Christian Endeavor society be
allowed to pass without some item of
missionary information being presented
and missionary prayer being offered.
The missionary committee is made re-
sponsible for this There is no subject
with which the great missionary theme
cannot accord. Golden Rule.

MARRIAGE IN KOREA.
A Simple Ceremony, but With 1t Comes
the Dignity of Manhood.

A Simple Ceremony, but With 1t Comes
the Dignity of Manhood.
Korean girls, according to Mr. II. S.
Saunderson, after enjoying freedom till
they are years old, are consigned to
the women s quarters, where they live
in seclusion till they are married at 16
or II years. After marriage the woman
is allowed to see no man but her hus-
band. The boys, ON the other hand, are
taught that it is undignified for them to
enter the women's part of the house.
They never see their brides till the we'd
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
u. The marriage ceremony is very sim
pie. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them in dressing their hair in the man
ner beftting their new estate. Then the
bridegroom mounts white pony, which
is led by two servants, while two others
on either side support the rider in his
saddle. Thus he proceeds to the brides
house, accompanied by his relatives. AT
their destination they find pavilion
erected in the courtyard Of tho house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival. A goose (the
Korean symbol Of fidelity, which the
bridegroom brings with him, is then
produced.
The bride, who has to cover her face
with her long sleeves, and the bride
groom then bow to each other until
their heads almost touch the ground
This they do three or four times and are
then man and WIFE A loving cup is
passed round, and then the bride is
taken off to the women's apartments Of
her husband home, where she is looked
after by her mother and mother-in law,
while the groom entertains his friends.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect.
Marriage is tho great event in Ko-
rean's life, for he then attains mans
estate. Before marriage, no matter how
old he may be, he is treated as boy,
and has to maintain a deferential atti-
tude toward the married men, even
though they be only half his age, Pop

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Invite the Church Members.

Endeavorers make great mistake
when they do not invite the older church
members to attend their special annual
meetings. One minor result of such at
tendance is that the collections taken at
such meetings will be largely increased,
as the older people, seeing what good
work the society is doing, will be NOV
ed to make liberal contributions to their
undertakings. Golden Rule

Perhaps the most difficult and trying
duties to which the Endeavorer stands
pledged are those of reading the Scrip

discharge this obligation once or twice,
