at Adobe Meadows. The scouting par
ties were never absent from camp longer
than week or 10 days. The days at
this camp hung heavily upon us. The
boys built wickiups out of willow and
thatched them with long grass, finding
them more pleasant to occupy than the
tents.
The character of the country here was
volcanic in appearance. You could see
it in the beds of lava and beds of ashes
and alkali water. On the meadow was
a huge pile of rocks, in extent about one
acre, standing about 10 or II feet above
the meadow land. The rock was broken,
and had the appearance of having been
showed up by some mighty subterranean
power, leaving it there as monument
to the unseen force of the Almighty.
While standing in the ranks at roll
call one morning, facing the east, we
experienced quite shock. 1t was dis
tinctly felt by all, and we saw the top
of the White Mountains, 10 miles dis
tant, slide off during the quake, causing
a great and tremendous cloud of dust to
ascend heavenward. Scouting parties
to the White Mountains after the quake
reported the whole top of the mountain
had slumped off in the direction of the
valley.
While on this six months scout the
company lost about eight or ten men by
desertion from the camp at Aurora and
Adobe Meadows. The inactivity and
monotony of camp life in this isolated
and inaccessible valley to those of us
who had spark of ambition left was
almost unbearable, and we
EAGERLY WATCHED

ing that he bore the order for our re-
turn to Fort Churchill. About the 1st
of September it came, with the addi-
tional order to proceed from Fort
Churchill to Utah Territory without
unnecessary delay. To say we we're
pleased would not half express it; we
were simply wild with delight, for we
were to start for Utah the next day
after our return. The morning dawned,
and all was hustle and excitement pre-
pairing to break camp, and at the pros
pect of leaving the Abode Meadows for
ever.
An incident occurred here worthy of

CAMP FOE THE SUMNER.


Here we were joined by other officers
and members Of the company, and here
we remained all Summer, with nothing
to vary the monotony of camp life but an
occasional scouting party sent down the
valley looking after stray horses and
doing regular police duty.
About six or eight weeks after the
fight | was one Of scouting party sent
down the valley after stray horses. When
in the vicinity of where we buried Gil
hspie we visited the old camp, and were
Mortified TO find his body hanging by the
neck TO tree, with arrows sticking in
the body almost as thick as quills on a
porcupine. His hair was very red, and
looked natural. His flesh, dried by the
rarified air in that country, emitted no
offensive smell.
We pulled the arrows from his BODY,
cut him down, and buried him again,
and this was the last we ever saw of the
poor fellow. We travelled as far as the
sink Of the river, and returned TO camp

A Russian Artel.

An artel is an association of persons
who agree to throw in their lot together
and stand by each other for better or
for worse. If the artel is productive, :"
the members work together and divide
equally what money they earn; if it ia
"consumptive, they share equally in
the expense incurred. The most marked
characteristic of these associations is the
perfect equality which prevails among
their members. No matter what may be
a mans personal gifts or deficiencies,
from the moment he enters an artel he
is simply on a par with his comrades.
He must bear the same burdens as they
do, and he receives the same rewards.
In his turn he will be the artelman, or
chief of his artel; in his turn, too, he
will be its newer of wood and drawer
of water. As the former he will be
neither richer nor poorer than as the lat
ter, for the only emolument attached to
the Office of artelman is shoe money
that is, small sum granted as COM
pensation for the shoes worn out while
tramping about transacting official bust
ness. Chambers Journal

Our Church.

"Our church" ought to be talked
about more. "Our members" ought to
be considered oftener and loved more
loyalty. If the church, in its pastor OF
membership, have inflrmities, bear with
them bravely and say not word to the
outside world. The church is not an in
stitution to be criticised or enjoyed at
pleasure. You are part Of the church.
If one member of this body be lacking,
it is not yours to complain, but to make
up in yourself that which is needfuL II
the ear be slow, the eye must be quick.
This natural law applies perfectly to
religious life. In the light of this in
dubitable truth see how foolish church
quarrels, petty strivings and vainglori-
Gus ambitions become.
When there is proper church life, the
pastor is not burdened with the sole re-
sponsibility. He is not the church. He
alone cannot create church life He has
been appointed of God as the head OF
this family, to be loved and honored and
supported. But God has not rolled upon
him the burden of the success of the
church; that is yours to bear in cola
boring with him and with the One who
said, lone is your master, even Christ,
and all ye arc brethren. William I.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.
Meetings at the Washington Convention

Meetings at the Washington Convention.
At a recent meeting of the board OF
trustees of the United Society of Chris
tan Endeavor the subject of the inter
national conventions was up before the
board, with results of no small moment.
Belief in the great value Of these con-
ventions, as times of genuine fellowship
and untold inspiration to tens of thou
sands of delegates, and to the church at
large as means of bringing the cause
of Christ attractively before the whole
world as method of practical evangel-
ization, was reafirmed at Detroit.
But the conventions are not without
practical difficulties. To meet these 1t
was decided that at Washington next
July the conduct of the meetings should
be somewhat changed, and they will be
undelegated Christian Endeavor mass
meetings, open to all Endeavorers as
heretofore. Their chief purpose will re-
main as fellowship and inspiration, and
the most carefully arranged programmes
will be provided. Instead Of the con-
yentions being confined to mass meet
ings many of the sessions will be dis
tributed among a sufficient number OF
churches in the convention city. The
speakers of these meetings will be the
best obtainable, and the subjects dis
cussed will deal with practical Chris
tian Endeavor work and with the in
terests of the highest Christian life.
There still will be mass meetings OF the
delegates in the three great tents, but
there will also be the smaller gather.
ings, making the whole convention OF

Huxley as a Lecturer.

In lecturing to his classes Huxley ad-
hered strictly to business, and it was
rarely that matter Of leyity was intro
duced to give merriment to his listeners.
I recall, in a course of some 20 lectures,
only a single instance of this kind,
when, for some reason (no longer in my
memory, a reference was made to
Chamisso's "Peter Schlemihl''--a book
which Professor Huxley frankly admit
ted gave him more genuine pleasure
than any other in nonscientific litera-
ture Whether it was the refreshing
frankness of this admission or the fact
in itself that was quoted which on this
occasion brought forth an unbounded
merriment from his students was per-
haps not fully decided for all of us,
but there was no questioning the spon-
taneousness of the applause which fol-
lowed the utterance. And this, as now
recall it, was the only instance of ap-
plause greeting the lecturer in the mid
die of the lecture during the entire
course Of my studentship. Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

A Texas Worker.

1t is no wonder that Texas Christian
Endeavorers are power in the state
when this is the sort of material of which
they are made: 1t is reported that one En-
deavorer in q small lumber town organ
lied Sunday school, of which she is
superintendent, organized church and
reads a sermon from some standard work
every Sunday morning, while in the
evening the Christian Endeavor society,
which she herself organized, has charge
of the meeting. She is superintendent OF
junior society, and once every two
months she visits the Huntsville peni-
Tertiary Christian Endeavor society,
which she herself organized. This work
er is also superintendent of district

20 counties Besides all this she attends
to her home duties.

Imported Song Birds rArive.

Inquiry has been received by The
Spokesman-Review concerning the re-
suit of an experiment made few years
ago with European singing birds in Ore
gon. Several hundred were brought over
and released in the vicinity of Port
land, with the hope that they would
thrive and multiply and enliven the for
ests with their inspiring notes. Includ-
ed in the collection were specimens of
the skylark, nightingale, thrush and
mavis. The experiment has proved q
pleasing success. The imported songsters
have spread over wide area, and &C.
casionally few have been seen east of
the Cascade mountains. The climate is
favorable and the citizens of German
birth, who raised the purse to introduce
the songsters of the fatherland, say the
little strangers sing as sweetly here as
in the land across the sea.--Spokane

Many Cure Is Effected by These Simple
and Palatable Remedies.

Many a Cure Is Erected Dy Inese SInple
and PalatabIe Remedies.
Lemon juice sweetened with loaf OF
crushed sugar will relieve cough.
For feyerishness and an unnatural
thirst soften a lemon by rolling on a
hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar
and work it down into the lemon with
a fork, then suck it slowly.
During the warm months a sense OF
GOODNESS, comfort and IMMIGRATION can
be produced by free use of lemonade.
For six large glasses of lemonade use
six large, juicy lemons. Roll on a hard
surface SO that the juice can be easily
extracted. Peel and slice. Add suffi-
cient sugar to sweeten and stir it well
into the juice before adding the water.
Hot lemonade will break up cold ii
taken at the start. Make it the same as
cold lemonade, only use boiling water
instead of cold water and use about one
half as much sugar.
A piece of lemon, or stale bread mois-
tened with lemon juice, bound on a
corn will cure it, Renew night and
morning. The first application will pro-
duce soreness, but if treatment is per-
sisted in for reasonable length of time
a cure will be effected.
The discomfort caused by sore and
tender feet may be lessened, if not en-
tirely cured, by applying slices of lem
ons on the feet.
To cure chilblains take piece of
lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it and rub
the feet we'll. Repeat if necessary.
Lemon juice will relieve roughness
and vegetable stains on the hands. Aft
er having the hands in hot soapsuds
rub them with piece of lemon. This
will prevent chapping and make the
hands soft and white.-Philadelphia
