A Church for Each Person

The man who bravely abandons all
forms of faith and creates church nll
for himself, without any proselytes,
adherents, followers or disciples, is
surely worthy of admiration, writes
Sir Walter Besant in the Queen. A
church ali for himself; if n Christian
church all for himself, the more adj
mirably is his courage. Well! the
thing has been done it has been done,
not by one man only, but by two or
three, each one of whom has created
his own church for himself. New Iea-
land is the place. There they have re.
Gently held religious census. Out
OF the whole there is one "Esoteric
Christian" one Salvation Catholic, -
one "Natist," and one "Truist."
1t is long way to New Zealand, but
in imagination one can see these four
profound thinkers standing each at
the door Of his own church, ringing
the bell for himself, the congregation.
At the service of the "Natist" one can
not assist even in imagination. The
mystery of that form Of faith cannot
be SO much as guessed, All by him.

HANDLING STABLE MANURE.

In recent issue, u contributor
gives number of rules for handling
stable manure, writes s. Thomas, OF
Indiana, to the American Agricultur
ist. His first rule is never pile in the
field, but scatter from the wagon. If
he refers to putting the manure in
small heaps to be scattered or spread
just before plowiug, l agree With him,
but if he advises never to compost 1
do not agree with him. Situated as 1
am, just on tho edge OF the city, l
have been able to get large quantities
OF manure. 1 have tried every cou-
celvable experiment in applying ma
nure, and after years of careful study
and observation of the different tests
made by myself and others, l have
come to the conclusion that to get the
best results from stable manure it
must be composted either in the field
or barn lot, AS haul hundreds of
loads of manure from the CITY. nv

different fields, SO that when it comes

twenty rods from the heap. l spread

Your contributor says he hauls and
spreads his manure while the ground
is yet frozen, and the spring rains
wash it into the soil. Now if the spring

The wood had grown around the bones,

Major Charles +. Powell's Annual
Report.

The annual report OF Major Chas.
I. Powell on improvements on the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers
is the most complete ever issued.
The pro osed improvements on the
Monongahela are of such practical
bic nature that every citizen along
the valley should urge upon Con-
gresham Aeheson, who is member
Of the river and harbor committee,
the great necessity Of recon-
mendin and working for the
necessary appropriations when the
next river and hdrbor bill is made
up. 1t is proposed to raise the
lock walls and dams two feet, thus
increasing the depth of water in
the pools to such an extent as to
give "a barge stag at all times IT the
year. and making it possible TO mine
and ship coal the year round and
carry on the regular traffic without
any difficulty being experienced on
account Of low water. Another de.
sired and important iinpro ement
recommended is the lcngthenlng OF
the fender and mooring cribs in the
vicinity OF a number of the locks. 1t
frequently happens that several
fleets meet above and below the
locks awaiting their turn TO he pass
ed through, and in stormy weather
or high water thes should have u
safe place to land and tie NJ. mud at
such distance from the locks as
not to be in the way Of vessels which
may be enteringor leaving he locks
To extend the existing cribs on the
lines recommended will, of course,
require considerable dredging, bnt
the result will bea material straight
ening Of he channel at the very
points where the greatest benefits
will accrue. The smaller locks
should be used by packets as well as
is single craft and to accommodate
as much as can reasonably be done,
it is proposed to lengthen the cham
bers Of the small locks at dams 2, 8,
4, 5. 6 and Z, by setting the lower
gates back 6 feet. In accordance
with the above project, estimates of
the cost Of necessary enlargement
