Electric L.mps to Defy Fraud.

In,some districts in England small
,consumers whose quarterly bills for
electrical energy could not support the
burden Of meter rental, are charged at
a fixed price per lamp per annum. The
change can take account OF the possi-
bility of exceedingly long burning
hours, but not of the honesty-factor OF
the consumers, the temptation to put
in lamps of higher candle power than
those contracted for being very great.
At Kingston this difficulty was over
come by using locked holders, but
Frenchman has now provided neater
solution. The lamp caps and holders
are made on the bayonet principle, but
with three pins and slots instead OF
two. These are placed in different
relative positions for lamps of various
candle power, go that only the lamp OF
the right size will fit the holder cup
piled for it.

The Best Seeds Absolutely Necessary


We cannot too strongly nor too often
urge the supreme importance of planting
seeds that are perfectly pure and fresh.
Seeds that are offered at cheap prices are
almost invariably of doubtful origin and
uncertain age, sure to cause the planter
disappointment and loss. The thoughtful
planters only surety lies in buying seeds
sent out by a conscientious and trust
worthy house. A vast number of Amer
lean gardeners have land have had for
yearsl the utmost confidence in seeds that
bear the name, ID. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
Mich. The present generation of planters
can hardly remember the time when
Ferry's Seeds were not on sale everywhere
each year and as regularly planted by
thousands-with the greatest faith in the
unvarying quality of the seeds and in the
integrity of the firm that grew them Every
planter whether already buyer of Ferry's
Seeds or not should send for Ferry's Seed
Annual for 1899. 1t is mailed free to any

attended by congregations which filed
all the available space. 1t was com
munion Sunday, and the subject of the
lesson was Communion with the risen
Lord
After the lesson, Judge Hanna read a
message from Rev Mary Baker Eddy,
the founder of the church, addressed to
the members, suggesting change OF
the communion Sunday from the first
Sundays in July and January to the first
Sundays in June and December, that
this event might be separated from the
holiday excitement. In it Mrs Eddy
alluded to the new Christian Science
Church in Concord, N. H, which seats
200 persons.
The communion service is regarded as
spiritual act by members OF this
church, and il was celebrated without
the material and visible bread and
wine, the members kneeling silently
during the ceremony. After the commu-
MON service, Judge Hanna explained
the meaning of the church tenets, and
the usual order of service was Impress

were identical, the second communion
being made necessary by the large num-
