From the New York Times
The amount of china, glass. silver, linen
and even kitchen utensils necessary to con-
duct a successful caterers establishment
would seem almost Incredible to any one
who had not looked into the matter Every
thing must be in perfect order. ready for
use at a moments notice, and the system
business Is fairly bewildering Each grade
of dish Is by itself, and some packed into
baskets all ready to be sent off. Every
thing is replaced the moment 1t is broken
defaced, so that the required number
of everything shall be kept on hand; and
this is by no means easy matter, for
most Of the china comes from other coun-
tries.
The largest service allows for the serving
of a dinner to 1,20O guests and a dinner Of
twelve courses AS the china for dinner
cannot be made to do duty by washing be-
tween courses it can readily be seen what
tremendous amount of china is necessary
to furnish each course satisfactorily. But
that amount is on hand, kept there for the
purpose, and with everything to match,

portion.

of the financial department of the United

tensive powers in the matter of the dis

by some that each successive incumbent of

the incumbent of the office, Robert B.

HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT

Notable in the history of religious move

people toward organization, of which the
closing days Of the nineteenth century fur
nish many striking examples Following the
spread OF the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation idea and the banding together Of
the youth of both sexes in the interests Of
temperance, the past two decades have wit

young people such as the Society of Chris

League. the Brotherhood of Andrew and
Philip, the Baptist Young Peoples Union.
and many other kindred societies. 1t would
appear that the formation Of these unions
of vigorous youth Is peculiar to the times
and the fact is undoubtedly attracting uni
yersal attention.
Still another international. undenomina-
tional society has been organized. 1t Is the
Boys Brigade, an organization for young
men and boys between the ages Of twelve
to twenty-one years, the object of which Is
the advancement of Christ's kingdom
among boys and the promotion of obedience,
reverence. discipline, self-respect and all
that tends toward a true Christian manli-
ness" 1t recognizes the natural military

Considerable interest has been created in
Marion county, Iowa, by the experiment Of
Jacob Bruce, a farmer Forth of Knoxville,
at coffee raising on a small scale. In the
spring of 1891 Bruce planted seven grains
of fine Rio coffee and in the fall harvested
half gallon of an excellent quality. Most
of this he replGnted last spring N a fifteen
rod plat of ground and now has eight bush
els of coffee or an aVera ge of eighty-five
bushels per acre. He is satisfied that the
crop IS q sure one in his locality and thinks
1t can be grown on a large scale and at an
excellent profit.

Just SAVED Him.

From Inc BUstOn
A certain Miss X. was in the habit Of
calling on a minister's family often, and
sometimes the calls heightened into visits
which were very wearisome. One day the
dominic, in his study, heard Miss KS
voice, and kept long and vigorously at
work. Some hours afterward, when his
wife summoned him to lunch, he called
down stairs: ''All right-and is that bore
gomez"
Yes, dear" replied the wife, but Miss
X. is here, and will take lunch with us!''
Thus she saved his life.

tendencies inherent in every American boy,
and makes use of this fondness for wearing
a uniform and handling rifle in attracting
boys into the organization. Companies of
from twelve to forty boys are formed, the
only conditions of membership being at
tendance at some Sunday school and sub
scrption to the following pledge:
Il promise and pledge that will not use
tobacco nor Intoxicating liquor in any form;
that l will not use profane vulgar and In
decent language; that l will obey faithfully
all the company rules and that l will, at all
times, set an example Of good conduct to
my comrades and other boys: Every COM
pany must be organized under the care of
some Christian body which will supervise
Its civil and religious affairs, and 1t must be
attached to some church or Sunday school,
to whose authority 1t is subject.
The Military Feature.
A distinctive feature of the movement is
that all meetings Of the company are con-
Quoted under military regulations and dis
cipline. A weekly military drill Is requir-
ed, carried on In strict accord. with the in
fantry tactics of the United States army.
The military features furnish excellent
physical training and have many other ad-
FantdgeS, OF which those who have tested
the movement say they can furnish abund-
ant proof. These features. however, are
but means to an end-the development
of true manhood.
Other agencies beside the military fea-
ture are made use of in securing the at
tainment of the desired results Religious
exercises are required. Bible drills are
used as a means of rendering the boys
familiar with the Scriptures and acQuaint-
ed with its truths. the ultimate object of
which is the formation and development of
Christian character Missionary studies are
encouraged and patriotic sentiments are
fostered, and instruction is given in the
principles of true citizenship. The boy's
physical self is looked after also, gymnas-
tic exercises being such as are adapted to

The Brazilian Pottery Tree.

Among the numerous vegetable pro-
ducts of Brazil the Moquilea utilis, or
pottery tree, is not the least noteworthy.
This tree attains height Of 100 feet and
has very slender trunk, which seldom
much exceeds one foot in diameter at the
base. The wood is exceedingly hard and
contains very large amount of silica.
but not SO much as does the bark, which
is largely employed as source of silica
for the manufacture of pottery. In pre-
pairing the bark for the potter's use it is
first burned and the residue is then pull
verified and mixed with clay in the prop.
er proportion. With an equal quantity
of the two Ingredients superior quality
of earthenware is produced. This is
very durable and is capable of with
standing any amount of heat. The ma.
tives employ it for all kinds of culinary
purposes. When fresh the bark cut
like soft sandstone. and the presence Of
the slick may be readily ascertained by
grinding piece of the bark between
the teeth. When dry it is generally
brittle, though sometimes difficult to
break. After being burned it cannot, if
of good quality, be broken up between
the fingers, mortar and pestle being
required to crush it.-Eclectic.

Concerning Short Sermons.

A recent critic of preaching sets twen-
ty minutes as the proper length of a
sermon. Thirty five or forty minute
sermons are not to be tolerated. This
kind of talk is unwise. A discourse on
any great theme cannot be measured by
any fixed standard of length. Why
should the great truths of religion and
the duties of men have rule applied to
them that no other themes can accept?
If preacher holds the attention of a
congregation, and what he is saying is
instructive and important, adapted to
inspire and help men and women in the
