Origin of Camp Meetings.

F. J. Ms inquiry, "Wher, where
and by whom was the first camp meet
ing held?" has been referred to our
friend, DR.. ]. M. Buckley, who has
kindly supplied the following note:
Scamp meetings arose in this wise !:
Late in 1799, or early in 1900, john and
William Magee, brothers, the first a
Methodist local preacher, the second a
Presbyterian minister, started 0from
their settlements in Tennessee to make
a preaching tour into Kentucky. Such
interest attended their work that at the
next meeting many families encamped
in the woods. The cooperation of these
brothers was SO pleasing an example Of
fraternity that the earliest camp meet
ing included members of every denomi-
nation. ."-Outlook.

st. Petersburg In September.

OF the ordinary sights Of the Russian
capital il would be idle to speak.
Those which first impress the visitor
are the stately breadth of the long streets
and the somber dignity of the palaces
and public buildings which abound on
every hand. The great gilded domes of
the churches naturally attract atten-
ton, more, however, by their novelty
than by their beauty. Arohiteoturally
st. Petersburg may fairly bear compar-
ison with any of the great continental
capitals. Its aspect is more substantial
than that of Paris. 1t is more uniformly
dignified than Vierna. 1t is in most re-
spects incomparably superior to Berlin.
The Nevski Prospekt, in its summer as
peot, was somewhat disappointing. One
must see it in its winter dress, when a
thousand sledges are gliding over the
hardened snow, in oeder to understand
why it has been SO loudly praised. III
September it is merely crowded street,
where tram cars, droskies and private
carriages are incessaffttly5r passing F 8 tto and
fro. The shops are excellent, almost as
good as those of Piccadilly or Rond
street, but they contain nothing dis
tinctiyely Russian.
September in the Russian capital Is
very much what September is in Lon
don. The palaces are closed and the
fashionable people are out of town. But
even this hardly accounted for the fact
that not a single well dressed man or
woman was to be met in an afternoons
walk in the whole length of the Nevski
Prospekt. The absence of well dressed
women both here and in Moscow was
indeed remarkable, On the other hand,
there were no signs of extreme poverty.
One saw no rags or wretchedness like

Shakespeare In the Courtroom.

When Chase was elected senator from
Ohio, Joshua r. Giddings was the eau
Gus nominee of the antislavery people,
but he lacked two votes. Chase got
those votes and the entire opposition
and was elected. In the memorable
speech of Stephen A. Douglas on the
Kansas Nebraska bill there was inter
polated fierce quarrel between Chase
and Weller of California over the way
Chase got to be senator. Two years
after Chase beat Giddings old Ben Wade
beat G1ddings under the same circum-
stances. When they were quite young
men, Wade and Giddings practiced law
in the same town. One day they were
on the opposite sides of a case, and Gid
dings, while addressing the jury, at
tempted to quote the well known lines
of Iago:
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash; tits some
thing, nothing;
Twas mine, tits his and has been slave to
thousands;
But he that ilches from me my good name
Robs me of that which
Here Giddings stammered and halted,
repeating the words, of which he had
forgotten the connection, and utterly
broke down. Wade slipped up behind
him and whispered, "I never had, and
Giddings, glad of help from any quar-
ter, blurted cut "that I never had"
Afterward they became partners in the
practice of law and firm friends. ds.-Louis-

Names Big Tree.

Jay, Me-, claims one of the biggest
trees in the state. It stands on the bank
Of the Androscoggin, on the lawn Of
the late Dudley Beam. The circumfer-
ence four feet from the ground is % feet,
diameter feet. About six feet from the
ground there are seven branches radiat-
ing from it's trunk which are from Is
inches to "a inches in diameter. The
branches spread over space of ground
270 feet in circumference, or 90 feet in
diameter. Where the branches leave the
trunk of the tree, about seven feet from
the ground, there has been erected band
stand, which seats % persons. A cooler
place ON hot days cannot be found. A
Boston gentleman was riding by recent
ly, and the tree attracted his attention.
He examined and measured it and was
astonished at its dimensions He went
away with the remark that if the tree
was on his lawn $40, 900 wouldn't buy
it. 1t was set out 40 years ago by La

easier to win q woman than it is TO
live with her.
No woman is, ever has been, or can
be strictly a misanthrope.
No man is high enough to be above
sympathy, or low enough to be beyond
its reach.
There is many match between re-
fusal and kiss.
If everything is possible to God, any
thing-if she intensely desires it
seems certain to Woman.
A man who proposes more than once
to a woman, often asking favor of For
tune, smites her in the face.
Love may laugh at locksmiths, but
never at wedlock-too serious, under
all circumstances, to provoke smile.
No amount of love from one man can
repress in a woman's breast her intense
desire for admiration from men.
However unfortunate a woman's
love-affairs may have been, she never
despairs of meeting an ideal lover, even
though she live in desert.
If we review our life at middle age,
we are apt to find that what We have
most dreaded, what has made us most
unhappy, is but shadow of imagina-
tion.
Woman is in most cases as amiable
as man is otherwise. But when she is
irritable by temperament. and has never
subjected her irritation to any sort Of
discipline, striped hyena is compan-
ionable by comparison.
Mems fortune depends far less on
will, effort, and circumstances COM
bined than on temperament alone.
Since through Natures law we are
all born inevitably of love, he whose
life lacks that one essential is con-
tradiction and failure.
1t is better to be disappointed
throughout life in every hope we have
cherished than to be deficient in hope.
The extinction of hope is virtually
death.
To lose our last friend is sad indeed,
but nothing like so sad as never to
have gained our first.

her mothers, with plain skirt and
street jacket. These suits are to be
bought ready made at most of the
large shops, and wonderfully well made
and finished they are.
AS rule the skirts are gored-at all
events, have gored side and front
breadtbs and full backs. There are al
so some circular skirts, but the first
style described is the best. The short
jacket is made with fly front and light
back, medium size coat sleeves and
small collar.
Serge is the favorite material-either
blue, green or brown. These suits are
worn with shirt waists, and not only
the wash materials, but the silk ones
are used. Nothing is prettier than
these shirt waists, and they are very
inexpensive. They can easily be made
at home, but also can be bought ready
made at low price.
1t seems perhaps strange to advocate
so strongly ready-made things, and, of
course, no shop work is so well finish
ed as that done at home. For child
rem who 80 soon outgIow their clothes
it seems foolish to spend many hours in
making their frocks, and the smart
look that the ready-made clothes have
is most remarkable. This rule does
not apply to the wash materials. Cling
hame, dimities, muslin, etc., are infin-
itely better made up at home, with the
aid of seamstress by the day.
ALI such materials are quite mex
pensive and there are many Of last
years patterns which are sold at posi-
lively absurd prices. For FIVE and six
cents a yard, for instance, there are
some dainty and effective patterns and

The Burlington,s New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the lst of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
country that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
peoially for the Burlington Route,
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of a buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace sleep
ing-car, and two recliving-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking-library
car is something new for a Denver
Chicago line. 1t is a veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, a lavatory, writlng-desk,
compartment for card-players,
and a weil-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and 4 carefully
selected library is provided for The
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time, Leaving Denver at $50
a, m. today ON one Of them you
are landed in Chicago ut 2:15 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points'oast. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-soven and three-quarter
hours, just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fdstest schedule
in effect prior to February 6, 1898.

money and aid much in bringing
money to town. Broad tires help
to make good roads and wheels
that do not track make still better
roads when thus equipped. In
stead of cutting the roadway into
deep ruts between Brewster and
Florence the coal wagons would
make it level and easy to ride over
if they had broad tires and axles
