Irish Harvest Of 1890.

A good general idea OF the Irish har-
vest of 1899 can now be formed by the
reports sent in from all over Ireland,
and it may confidently be assumed that
1t is at least a good average one. The
season was a peculiar one, which caused
great anxiety amongst agriculturists,
as though the early rain was favorable
for farming operations, April and May
were cold and harsh, then came June,
with regular tropical weather, drying
ND everything too much, and causing
CONSERVATION amongst green crop
growers. but July and August were
ideal months, which repaired most OF
the damage done by their predecessors.
Altogether, however, Irish farmers
have every reason to be thankful for
what must be set down as a very fair
all round harvest, while for two years
in succession their English brethren
have suffered severely from drouth.

Tho Lenrth Of sernons.

From the London Graphic: In the
current Methodist Times, long-winded
preachers are dashed with scathing
rhetoric. They are accused of wicked
self-indulgence," and told that they are
guilty of the same moral offense as
the drunkard." 1t is an ingenious
analogy, though it cannot be pressed
too far; for even those of US to whom
long sermons are most abhorrent would
hesitate to say of the moderate
preacher" such hard things as some
teetotalers say Of the moderate drink
err" On the other hand, the compar-
ison holds good in this-that, just as
there are "three-bottle men" who can
carry their liquor with dignity, so there
are "three-quarters of an hour men,
who can preach for that length of time
without wearying their hearers. The
difficulty is for any preacher to dis
cover what should be the duration of
his discourse in order TO produce the
maximum effect upon his congregation.
Perhaps he might find a way out Of it
by taking a postcard plebiscite of his
parishioners.

Pink Satin.

A pretty anecdote OF a revolutionary
bride is related by Ellen d. Larned in
a recent little volume upon the local
county. The incident occurred soon
after the first successes of the rebel
privateers. A beautiful young girl, be-
trothed and shortly to be married, ad-
mitted one day to the house wan
dering peddler, who undid his pack
and displayed his wares She expected,
doubtless, to purchase some pretty trifle
to add to her wedding outfit; but times
were hard, there was little money to
spare, and, moreover, it was many
months since all imported tinery had
been so frowned upon that no patriotic
young woman could venture to buy it.,
nor any dealer to sell it. What, then
was the young woman's amazement
and delight when the peddler unrolled
q voluminous piece of the most beau
tiful pink satin-satin, too, quite inno-
cent and inoffensive to the most ar
IDENTIFY patriotic eye, since he explained
that it was trophy of war, the booty
of one of our own privateers! She gazed
upon it in fascination. What a we'd
ding dress it would make! But the
cost-she could not, she dared not, ask
so much money Of her father. Nor did
she. But, unrolling the exquisite fab
ric yet further, she draped the rosy
folds lovingly about her supple young
figure, and, crossing the room to where
all the time her father, stern and ST.
lent man, had sat writing at his ac-
counts, observing nothing, she sank
upon her knees at his feet. A hand
was laid on his knee; he looked down,
wondering, and she looked up, pleading
AMI then he understood. Not a word
was spoken on either side, but the old
mans hand went quietly into his desk,
drew out a purse, opened it, and laid
in his daughters hand forty silver
dollars. At the wedding that soon en-
sued the brides gown and the BRIDE
groom's waistcoat were both of pink
satin, and there was one more pretty
story to hand down Of real Daughter
of the Revolution.

Newspaper Wood PUN.

In the manufacture of newspaper
wood pulp, according to present meth
DDS, cord of spruce wood is estimated
TO equal 516 feet of board measure, and
this quantity of raw material will
make half ton of sulphite pulp or
one ton of ground wood pulp. News
paper stock is made up with 20 per
cent of the sulphite pulp and so per
cent Of the ground wood pulp. Now
as figured by experts, the best OF
spruce land. virgin growth, possesses a
stand OF about 1000 feet to the acre;
on twenty-five acres, therefore, of this
best spruce land there will stand 1884,
600 feet OF timber, which an average
company of loggers will cut in about
eight days. But this entire quantity
of wood. turned in at any one of the
large mills, will in single day be
converted into about $50 tons of such
pulp as goes to make up newspaper
stock. and this amount of oulp will
make an equal weight of paper.

1m,rovement in Luncheon Dishes.

From the Boston Transcript: or
course, it is being trite to say it, but
we do eat altogether too much meat.
4 good many are coming to this con-
clusion and trying to reform, so an OBJ
serving person remarks, by eating no
meat at luncheon. They aren't think
ing of becoming out-and-out vegetar-
ians, but they are thinking that a
luncheon menu made up Of two or
three kind of vegetables, wound up
with a fruit salad or with a peach or
pear eaten from the hand, is conducive
to a physical sense OF well-being that
makes life seem worth the living. And
have you noticed that the leading res
taurateurs are doing themselves proud
in catering to this sensible demand OF
their customers? Ten years ago, IL
your memory can take you back so far,
you will recall the fact that the most
comprehensive menu at your favorite
lunching place offered you tomatoes in
nothing but just the most straightfor-
ward and unadorned guise, but today
it's very different. They are fried and
broiled and roasted, with or without
stufTing, and as general thing served
with sauce that you are accustomed
to having with steaks and chops,
which, of course, makes them seem so
much more dish" What you have
noticed in regard to tomatoes is as
true of other vegetables, though very
few lend themselves to the celebrating
process as they do. And to think that
now and then you run across bar
barian who declares he had to learn
to like tomatoes!V

EVOLUTION OF THE BICYCLE.
In Time, 1t Is Predicted. 1t VIII Have
Wings.


Like many other great successes i'll
this uncertain world, the bicycle was OF
humble origin. It sprang from the
wheelbarrow and no one blames it,
says the Detroit Free Press. This is
the reason that you can fall so far and
be so long about 1t, when you are
mixed up with one of these machines,
no matter what price or what model.
The velocipede, which the best authori-
ties testify was a connecting link, was
uglier than anything else except a
three-humped camel trying to escape
his keeper The device will best be re-
called as propelled by a small boy with
a straw hat over his ears, his busy feet
on the level with his chin and his
shoulders settled down on his waist
line. Then came the ungainly affair
with an enormous fly wheel in front,
and a pitiful little baby wheel trailing.
To drop from it was like falling off a
load Of hay and it forced upon short,
fat men the indignity of mounting from
a seeond-story window or convenient
shade three. Nearly all of those who
we're thrown from it and survived are
csllaneously manned. But it is
through such rugged stages that sue
cess is reached. The bicycle became &
thing of beauty and a joy forever with
pneumatic tires that are blown up as
they deserve it, artistic finish. ball
bearings, spring seats and an unac-
countable disposition to participate in
a scorch. At last they have thrown of
their chains. and have the highest de-
gree OF freedom +attainable by things
inanimate. They neither eat nor
drink, but are always merry. They
toll not, neither do they spin-when a
policeman is looking-yet Solomon in
all his glory could not have ridden one
Of them to save his life. They do not
shy at firecrackers, a cow in the road
or locomotive whistle, it does not re-
quire two hands to hold them when an
interested couple are going home, as it
does a horse headed for the oats bin,
and they will stand without hitching,
wherever the bicycle thief permits. In
time, 1t is predicted, they will have
wings, and humanity itself aspires to
nothing more desirable.

the arm Of your trust and the arm OF
your love-around this omnipotent
swimmer of the Cross.
Have you ever stood by and seen
sore one under process of resuscitation
after long submergence? The strong
swimmer las put him on the beach
after a struggle in the waters. To ex-
cite breathing in the almost lifeless
body, what manipulation, what friction
of the cold limbs, what artificial move
ment of the lungs, what breath OF res
cuer blown into the mouth Of the res
cued! And when breathing begins, and
after a while the slight respiration be-
comes the deep sigh, and the eyes open
and the blue lips take on a smile, what
rejoicing, what clapping of hands all
up and down the beach! What con-
graduation for the strong swimmer
and for all who helped in the restora-
ton! What shouting of "He lives! He
.ivesw Like this is the gadness when
a soul that has been submerged in sin
and sorrow is coming to-" What de-
sire on the part of all to help, and,
when under the breath OF God, and un-
der the manipulation by the wounded
hands of Christ, the life-eternal OF the
soul begins to show itself, all through
the ranks of spectators, terrestrial and
celestial goes the cry. HE lives! Re-
joice, for the dead is alive again"
May the living Christ this moment
put out for your rescue, spreading his
hands in the midst of you, as swim
mer spreadeth forth his hands to
swim!

Steam launches supplanting the gon-
dolas Of Venice will cause many per-
sons to cry, Farewell, romance!' Yet
we are learning in these days to see
as much poetry in the measured move
ments of an engineered as in the
rhythmic swinging of an oar; and TO
discern in the triumphs of the in
ventive mind over reluctant, irrespon-
sive matter romances more brilliant
and thrilling than any pictured IN
dreams of idleness.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1899-11-03

Older people wildly remember the
continual calls of our soldiers in the
civil war for something to read, and
the generous response from many
quarters with cases Of good books and
periodicals. These relieved the dull
ness Of camp life, and kept many a
young man sound and sweet whom
idleness would have driven to diver
sions worse than foolish. Rev. Stephen
r. Wood, chaplain Of the Twenty-third
United States infantry, writes from
Sulu, testifying to the eagerness of our
brave men in the Philippines for some
thing to supply their mental wants.
Wherever he has been he has heard the
expressed desire for good, and even
religious literature. my small box of
reading matter" he says, has been
read and reread until nearly worn out;
and we are looking anxiously for the
next steamer with papers" A demand
like this ought not to be hard to salts
fly, If sympathizing friends at home
would remember the want and add
their contribution to the soldiers out
fit as often as a war transport sails
away.
