The Irish Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, has recently taken action regarding
the use of instrumental music in church
worship, with an advance made in favor
of the friends of organs. The general as
sembly decided in 1884 not to interfere
when congregations wanted an organ, and
so they have been increasing in their use.
In the recent case where action was taken
a Sunday school had had an organ Cor
twenty years, and the session petitiOned
TO have one in the church. The subject
being referred to the stipend payers there
was a large majority for the organ. The
presbytery being appealed to by the OPP
ponents, refused to interfere. but when
carried to the synod the presbytery was
advised to have the organ removed But
on its being carried to the assembly the
decision was in favor of the congregation's
majority, which wanted instrumental mu-

ANIMAL PETS OF SOLDIERS
Achievements of Some of the Mas
cots of British Regiments.
From the Paris Figaro.

From the Paris Figaro
The love of animals is a national passion
among all the subjects of Queen Victoria,
without distinction Of age or rank. It is
manifested to such an extent among the
soldiers of the British regiments that if
the higher authorities displayed less vigil
lance all the barracks of Great Britain,
ireland, and India would soon be turned
into menageries.
1t may be difficult to understand why
the soldiers of the United Kingdom take
so much pleasure in training animals.
Very likely men submitted to rude dis
oipline and obliged to lead a life that
knows no home feel the need of having
companions and pets from the domestic
hreside. To this perhaps must be added
consideration of another and purely mill
tary kind. 4 young recruit feels no de-
sire to teach an animal, for an old soldier
who has worn the uniform for a long
time there is no greater pleasure than the
training of a dog, goat or a bear. The
adoption by the regiment of an animal
carefully trained and forming as it were
a part Of the troop, presents a feature in
the collective life Of soldiers serving un-
der the same officers and under the same
colors.
According to universal legend among
sailors, every ship has a soul This fc-
ton becomes a reality when We speak of
the soul of regiment. That soul has its
heroic qualities as well as its little weak
nesses. 1t lives not alone IN the glorious
recollection Of battles, the names OF which
are written Jpn the fiag-it is also mani
tested in oil sorts Of pets. Every Eng
fish regiment that respects itself must
associate its destiny with some domestic
or trained animal which in time Of peace
and in time of war shares its fatigues. its
hardships and its exploits.

THE PITCH LAKE.
II Is IneXhaustibIe Apparently, No
Matter How Heavily Drawn on.


Matter How Heavily Drawn On.
From the Wide World Magazine.
The famous pitch lake. or great bitumen
deposit of Trinidad, is situated at Point
Librea, on an elevation of about a mile
from the sea. IL covers an area OF nearly
100 acres. and its appearance is that Of
a duh. still. dark waste. 1t is irregularly
circular, and lis surface perceptbly con-
vex, being more elevated in the center and
thence insensibly declining on all Sides
In the center the pitch is quite soft--in
fact, semi-liquid-but 1t becomes more
and more hardened as its circumference
widens out. Except the soft central parts
the surface is inteTsected i'm all directions
bY numerous fssures or chasms. varying
in breadth from two feet to sixteen feet
and from half a foot TO seven feet in
depth, widening also at the surface, and
terminating acuteiy at the bottom thus
producing, as II were, inverted angular
honows, while the sides are regularly
rounded.
These creVices are at all times filed with
fresh water. Here and there where the
bimmen is mixed with earthly water, grow
lchens, MOSES, grasses, etc. The center Of
the lake the pitch pot, or chaudlere as IL
Is called, is at all times so soft that il
would be impossible 10 venture on it with
out mourning the danger of being en-
suited. The lake is government property
and parts Of il are leased out to private
individuals, who have TO pay royalties ac-
cording TO the amount of pitch removed
which amount is checked by the govern
ment. The pitch lake is practically fnox-
haustible. No matter what quantity Is
taken out, 1t is replaced by fresh pitch
which always wells up to fill the hole
The surface of the outer edges Of this
most wonderful Of lakes is quite hard
enough 10 walk upon; but a curious result
ensues if you stand still for any length
of time on one spot For some yards,
around you the pitch bodily sinks untn
il forms a basin. IL is quite different 10
sinking in sand. where your feet gradual

ent difference In the level of the ground.

Hint to Gourmets.
From the Courier des Eats Unis.
The peddlers in the streets of Paris are
now crying out "Sardnes de Nantesw and
the grocers display the Httle vanished
boxes labeled "Sardnes a Thule, fabrica-
ton 1898" But where do the sardines
come from? Certainly not from Nantes
They come from Quiberon, Douarnenez.
Concarneau. Croisic and especially from
Belle Isle
The sardine fishing season commences
at the beginning OF June. AS soon as the
fishermen of the coast Of Brittany notice
shoals of proposes or nocks of seagulls
off shore in great numbers they immedt-
ately make sail for the sardine is there.
The birds and porpoises locate him. The
building and repairing of sardine fishing
boats during what Is called the dead sea-
son give employment to great many
workmen. As rule, they are 10-tonners,
with crew Of from six to ten men. The
captain and the mate are the only proees-
sional fishermen on board; the others are
men of all trades. The outfit consists ex-
clusively of meas with very small meshes.
and their length IS from 100 to 500 metres.
The upper parts of the nets are kept upon
the surface of the water by corks ana the
entire machine Is held rigid by pieces of
lead at the bottom. The nets are all
stained a sort of sea green color, to render
them less visible
When the first school OF sardines is no

As in the first century the imperial au-
thority of Rome aided the church by fur
nishing facilities of travel over her milf
tary highways, so the commercial enter
prise of to-day is answering the call
prepare We the way of the Lord; make
straight in the desert highway for our
God" The formal opening of the railway
from Matadi, at the mouth of the Congo,
to Stanley Pool, a distance of go miles,
is an event of no little interest to mis-
slons Ii connects by quick and easy
transit the interior of Africa with the
ocean. 1t opens to commerce The Congo
valley, "the greatest river basin of the
world" with it's 5000 miles of navigable
waterway and its 100000 of population.
The forty-tive little steamers already ply
ing on the waters of the upper Congo wall
not suffice for the increasing trade. The
india rubber industry alone amounted in
1897 to Sc, 200 coo. While the railway will
accomplish its original purpose and quick
en- commercial enterprise, it will also aid
the rapidly growing work of the church.
