New system Of Microscopy.

Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, is
conducting experiments at his labora-
tory at Chevy Chase, which, it is be-
lieved, will work revolution in many
branches of modern science. He states
that he has invented a new method of
magnification which will be as great an
advance beyond the power of the pres
ent microscope as that is beyond the
power of the human eye. His instru-
ment increases the present magnifying
powers of the microscope at least 300
times. He combines two microscopes in
such way that the magnitied image
projected by the first, which is of the
ordinary size, is again subject to Sec
ond magnification, just as if it were the
original object. The second micro
scope is about as large as an Office desk.
The operation takes place in dark
room, the light used being of the ultra
violet, or invisible, rays. Prof. Gates
believes that his discovery will entirely
change the known fields of science, es-
pecially bacteriology and the study Of
cellular tissues.

To construct house suited to the
mind of every housewife would be an
impossibility, as the tastes and ideas of
convenience and propriety in interior
arrangement and appearance differ
quite as widely as the necessities of
the household or the limits of the build
er's purse. Hence great variety Of
plans are eagerly scanned by pros
pective builders to find the design best
adapted to the individual purposes and
tastes. AS much convenience of ar
rangement and accessibility is general
ly desired in cheap cottages as in those
of more pretensions. In order to Sc.
cure these something must be sacri-
feed, generally something in the size
and in the quality of materials used.

aspire. Tbs is an error we have shown
both in this and in former designs of
houses costing no more than this.
While front hall is not an actual ne
cessity, it is certainly very substan-
tidl comfort which amply repays the
cost of construction. An outer door
way opening into the room in which
the guests are being entertained is an
awkward arrangement.

for low-cost cottage containing fair

 CHILDREN's DAY.
 The second Sunday In June is always a day anticipated with great delight by the children who fl'l the ranks of our Sunday schools everywhere, for now this day has become one of well-nigh universal celebration as the annual fes- tival of flowers. The day will be kept appropriately in the Congregational church. The children will have recita- tions, there will be plenty of singing and Rev MT Barker is to give sermon to the little folks illustrated by some familiar object, and flowers will be in abundance.
 The Gospel of John Is the "Holy of Holies' in Sacred Writ. It comes closest to the Saviour's heart; it gives most com fort to the Christian life. Rev Mir Barker will speak of this Gospel at next Tues days prayer meeting in the lower room of the church.

 The Congregational church, on Sun day, was decorated appropriately for the occasion. Long lengths of tri-colored bunting ran around the gallery and swung in loops between the pillars. A large flag was thrown over the desk, and other flags in many places spoke in un- heard, yet eloquent accents of union and freedom. The service opened with the singing by the whole congregation, of "Stand up !-stand up for Jesus!" After the prayer of invocation, male quartette consisting of Ezra J. Hall, M. c. Rod gers, c. N. Worthen and Frederick D. Wallace sang very finely "Come unto me when shadows darkly gather" The responsive reading was the 46th Psalm, and the Scripture read was from the sth chapter of Ecclesi tastes and the 2d chap ter of Isaiah. Mrs Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Republic" was then sung spiritedly, c. D. Worthen taking the verses as a solo and the congrega- tion uniting in the chorus. Frederic D. Wallace's offertory solo, "Fear not ye, 0 Israel, ," added no little to the thorough enjoyment of the whole service. Key O. w.
