We gather some odds and ends Of re-
ligious facts. Lately examining a lead
ing religious newspaper we found that
in one number 100 ministers were men
tioned-of whom 63 were D. DIS. and 46
plain "Revd's." This shows how numer-
ous n prominent are the former. 1t
is reported that there are more mem
bers now Of the various n~onconform-
list denominations in Great Britain than
there are members of the Established
church of England. In 1890, that late
Cardinal Manning stated that there
were 100000 Roman Catholics in
England alone. That embraced all the
population that way inclined.

THE STRAWBERRY BED.-If the
strawberry bed, set last spring, has
got the start of you, cultivate between
the rows until the ground is as mellow
as an ashpan and every weed dead.
File your hoe and 60 at the weeds in
the row between plants. Limit the
runners to four or five to the hill, or
if you want big berries, cut off and
keep off every runner. Let no weeds
grow, and manure with wood ashes,
hen manure Gn moderation), pig man
ure or sheep manure, as close to the
hill as you dare. Remember that
strawberry plants do not root deep or
wide. The plant food you supply
must be close and near the top. If
you cut off all runners and depend on
the main plant to bear fruit, you will
get fine, big fruit, easily picked, and
there will be nothing to prevent clean
culture. In fact, the easiest way to
grow strawberries is to plant three
feet apart each way, cut off all run
ners, keep bed clean by horse power,
make it rich and let it bear as long as
plants are thrifty, four or FIVE years,
probably. Too many runners and too
much grass make small berries and
weak plants.-The Farmer.

Two MINDS CHANGED. -" "There
goes party who will be heard from, "
said Smith, pointing to young man
who was going down the street. "He
has managed to keep his head in love
and financial matters, and they are
the two great tests.
"Two months ago he was a young
mnn with all the world before him,
and with no prospects ahead of him
except a determination to fight life's
battle.
"He was in love with a young lady
living in this city, but his financial
condition prevented him from declar-
ing his passion, besides, he was not
sure that the young lady in question
cared for him.
"But by one of those curious turns
of the wheel of fortune, an old aunt
that he had never seen died and left
him a large sum of money. Without
delay he called upon the young lady
and asked her to marry him, saying
nothing about the fortune that had
been left him. He met with point
blank refusal.
"Two days later the girl heard OF
his unexpected windfall, and wrote
him a note, saying: Il have changed
my mind

said: so have I.'"-Detroit Free

TIT For TAT.-A British sailor be-
ing a witness in a murder case, was
called to the stand, and was asked by
the counsel for the crown whether he
was for the plaintiff or defendant.
"Plaintiff or defendant? ?" said the
sailor, scratching his head. "Why, l
don't know what you mean by plaintiff
or defendant. I come to speak for me
friend" pointing to the prisoner.
"You're pretty fellow for a wit
ness" said the counsel, "not to know
what plaintiff or defendant MEANS"
Later in the trial the counsel asked
the sailor what part of the ship he
was in at the time of the murder.
"Abaft the pinnacle, me lord" said
the sailor.
"Abaft the binnacle?" replied the
barrister. "What part of the ship is
that?"
"Ain't you a pretty feller for a
counsellor, said the sailor, grinning at
the counsel, mot to know what abaft
the pinnacle is !''-The London Daily
Times.

The BOTTLE For BABY.-These
are dangerous days for the bottle-fed
baby, unless the greatest care is exer-
cised in the cleansing of his bottles.
Even the most carefully prepared food
may be poisoned if carelessness is per-
mitted in the washing of baby's uten-
sils. Very few people know how to
wash bottle clean. 81 don't call a
bottle clean," says Mrs. Bolton in her
new book, "Baby," "unless it shines
like new glass. 1t cannot be made
clean enough for baby's use with hot
water and soap, and especially if one
of the 'waspy' things usually sold for
q bottle brush is used. The bottle
brush must have good bristles and a
strong handle. After all the milk has
been rinsed from the bottle that can
be with cold water, then put in some
powdered borax, and with the strong
brush it can be made to shine. Now
place the bottle in cold water to COM
pletely cover it, and let the water heat
slowly and boil for 20 minutes. Then
let it cool enough so that you can
comfortably handle it. The days sup.

Immediately into the bottle and tight
ly corked with absorbent cotton.
About 10 minutes before baby's meal
time place the bottle in a pitcher of
warm water. When warm enough re-
move the absorbent cotton, put on the
nipple, and it is ready for the baby.

STRENGTH OF The ARMY.

Recruiting will probably be contin-
ued until the army reaches the au.
thorized strength of 100000 men.
About 10000 regulars have been en-
listed, leaving room for 5000 more.
The 10 volunteer regiments, with a
total of $1,000 men, are practically
full, General Otis is organizing in the
Philippines two regiments of infantry
and one of cavalry, with total Of
1866 men, one.half of whom will be
obtained from the volunteers leaving
for home. The three regiments will
be filled with recruits from the United
States. We have still over 10000
regulars in Cuba, and nearly 5000 in
Porto Rico. In Alaska is total Of
455 soldiers, and in Hawaii 483.
These two possessions are light charges
in a military sense. Some of the
troops in Cuba might be withdrawn
from the pleasant peaceful indications
throughout the island; but as the de-
tails of pacification are still ahead and
a general election to be held at some
time in the future, it is doubtful if the
existing army of $4,000 will be re.
duced.
In the Philippines are 22,55O regu-
lars and SOP are on the way there.
By the end of the month Otis will have
a total of 1882 regulars. In San
Francisco, ready to sail, are 2,SO1 men,
which will make the aggregate 80, ,423.
The three regiments organizing at Ma.
Mia, and in service now as far as re-
cruited, will bring the aggregate to
34,2S8. Ten new volunteer regiments,
whose ranks are now full, can depart
for Manila as soon as transports are
ready. This gives an aggregate of 49,
951 fighting men who whould be in the
Philippines before the end of Novem'
Der. Nearly 10000 more recruits
could be accepted before the maximum
of 100000 men is reached. They can
easily be obtained long before ships
could be secured to take them across
the Pacific. The problem of ocean
transportation must be allowed for, but
in any case the end of the rainy sea-
son will find a powerful American
army in Luzon, and re.enforcements
in hand, if needed.-Globe- Democrat.

THE CREDIT MANS COSTLY ERROR.
Sometimes credit man goes all wrong
but not often. A country merchant
came up from Indiana with a written
list of the things he wanted. He said
he was new to the business, but he
meant to have partner who was wise.
After he had picked out goods amount
ing to $4,000 he was introduced to the
credit man, and he looked so uncouth
and inefficient that the credit man
wondered how good clerks had been
wasting their time on him.
"What terms do you want, Mr..
p" He stopped, and the visitor
supplied the name.
"Well, down in our country we al
ways pay after harvest"
"But harvest is past. You don't
mean next harves tin 1900 do
you?"
"Well, that's when my people will
pay me-"
"Oh, we couldn't do that. Ninety
days is the very best l could give you"
And even at that he wanted to know
a great many things about his visitors
prospects.
"How much if I pay all in 60
days?"
The credit man quoted the terms.
"How much is 30?"
A discount was mentioned.
"How much for cash? ?"
"Spot cash? ? Money down ?'
"Yes-currency."
1t was wild question. The credit
man knew he had no chance to get
$4,000 out of that man, and he quoted
a beautiful discount.

BEST RESULTS FROM GREEN MAN
URING.-The blowing under of a green
growth of any kind adds humus to the
soil and helps materially to make it
more friable and easier worked. This,
at least, is one advantage. Then q
plant just attained full growth and in
full bloom, if turned under, adds more
or less plant food to the soil as it de.
GAYS. OF the different kinds of plants
usually turned under as a fertilizer,
clover stands at the head. One reason
for this is that the plant when in full
bloom, contains considerable amount
of plant food, a valuable, or rather es-
sential, element of plant growth. Its,
however, becoming a question wheth'
er it is not best to allow a growth
made during the summer and fall to
die down and mulch the soil during
the winter, rather than to plow under
the latter part of summer and fall, and
then allow the ground to remain bare
through the winter. Certain it is that
the plants, when in full bloom, con-
tain a larger per cent. of fertilizing
elements than at any other stage.
But some soils are damaged if plowed
and left bare all through the winter.
This is especially the case with a light
sandy loan.
One of the best plans of rotation is
to follow clover with wheat, plowing
under the second crop as soon as a
growth is secured-the nearest full
bloom-and where wheat is grown this
plan can in nearly all cases be followed
with good results.
Another good plan is to follow clover
with corn, and when this is done, and
especially with a loamy soil, many pre-
fer to allow the clover to mature and
mulch the soil during the winter, turn
ing under reasonably early in the
spring.
1t is always best to use chain or
drag on the plow in either case, in or
der to turn the growth completely un-
der. With a green growth it can be
made to decay faster if dressing of
lime is scattered over it just before
blowing under. While it is not desir-
able to permit a growth of weeds SIM
ply TO get to plow it under, yet where
the growth is made it is an item to
make the most out of it.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2-Wheat was steady,
but weakened on poor demand from
outside, closing 1aQ5sc under yesterday.
Corn, influenced by the wheat market,
closed a shade under. Oats closed a
shade higher and provisions 5Q71ac up,
the latter supported by a good demand
and a light hog supply.
At the opening today Liverpool was less
Influenced than expected by yesterday 8
slump in the local pit, and a general dis
position to even up over Sunday. Con-
sequently May wheat began the day fair
ly steady, a shade lower at 6S7s@69c, ad-
Vanced to 69Ac. New York early showed
an upward tendency an encouraging hint
of a better export demand. This, how
ever, failed to materialiZe, an increase Of
local stocks Of about 100000 bushels was
predicted, and considerable long wheat
was let out, all of which was depressing.
The market sagged to 6SA@663sc, and
closed 1aQ5sc lower for May at 6S2s@6S1Ac.
The volume of business was small. Lo-
cal receipts, 157 cars, thirty-eight of con-
tract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported S31 cars, against 1,4S2 last year.
Primary receipts were $4,000 compared
with 1,6220O0 a year ago. Clearances on
the seaboard in wheat and -four were
equal to 321 600.
Corn was steady, sympathizing with
wheat, weakening later with that cereal
poor, and local longs were free sellers.
Primary points received S37,10O bushels,
against 551 900 last year. Local receipts
were 629 cars. Stocks here are expected
to decrease about 100000 bushels. May
ranged from 321Sc to S23s@32Ac, closing a
shade down at 321sQ32Ac.
Oats were firm early and closed steady.
Trade was dull and featureless, and fluc-
tuations narrow. Little change in local
stocks is predicted. Receipts, S05 cars
May sold from 233zc to 2S78@24c, closing a
shade over yesterday at 22A@22Bc.
Provisions held firm. December ribs al
one time were up 10c, fact, due to small
stocks. Deliveries were about as expect
ed. The strength was due principally to
light hog supply and a good outside
demand. May option closed as follows;
Pork, sc up at 1886; lard, SOLE higher al
$5.371Ac, and May ribs &c better at $5.1s
Estimates Monday: Wheat, 100 cars
corn, $40 ears; oats, $50 cars; hogs, $1,000

market was sluggish and drifting
throughout. Professional traders were
inclined to buy stock at the opening with
the idea of discounting favorable bank
statement. The appearance of the state
ment On the tape was the signal for
light realizing movement, and, as there
was no outside demand to absorb it,
prices fell away. The closing was dull,
but distinctly easy, the downward drift
having established a liberal sprinkling Of
net losses where the level has been high
er throughout, in the early dealings.
Sugar and Glucose were strong on the
reported plan for consolidation and alb
sorption of competitors. There were evil
derces Of strength in Union Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Burlington and c. & o.,
and in one or two of the less prominent
industrials. None of the gains were well
maintained, the whole list being affected
by the easier tone in the final dealings.
The bank statement was fully as favor
able as had been expected, though the
liberal expansion in the loan account was
unlocked for The high rates for money
and the satisfactory security offered are
attractive In inducing the bank to keep
their loans close to the limit of the legal
allowance. The lack of response to the
bank statement was due to the under
standing that the recuperation in reserves
was wholly due to bond redemption
operations with the subtreasury. The
fact that the movement of currency is
still In favor of the interior on balance,
and the progress of the sterling exchange
rate towards the gold export point, a
further step Of which was made today,
