SERVICE ON TRAINS.

DINING CAR FOR A CHAPEL
Hymn Books and Bibles in the
Gard Racks--Talk Of the
Track.

Passenger officials of trunk lines
running out of Chicago are consider
ing the advissbility of establishing
divine service Sundays on their
through trains. The matter received
considerable attention two years age
by the Erie officials, who finally dis
carded an elaborate plan made by one
of the roads assistant general pas
senger agents. There is a feeling,
however. on the part of some officials
that it would be good thing to de-
wise some plan which would in a
measure do away with the prejudice
on the part of church people again st
Sunday travel.
Several plans have been talked over.
and il is almost certain that one of
the trunk lines will try the influence
of the gospel when dispensed on a
sixty -mile-an-hour flyer. The plan
which seems to find most favor is that
of converting the dining cars into
chapels, where services could be held
soon after the morning meal. This
would require little work on the part
of the employees. and one diner would
accommodate all the passengers on
one train who would care to Join in
the services. In the card racks could
be placed hymn books and small
bibles, and the singing part of the
service could be done by the CON
grega.ion." One minister could be
engaged to deliver a sermon on each
eastbound vestibule train. and the
ministers could finish the services
going east in time to catch the flyers
going west and repeat the program.
If the dining room was found made
quate to accommodate the worship
ers, ministers might be engaged to
give short gospel talks and deliver
morning prayers in each of the
coaches. The cry against Sunday
travel by a portion of the public has
been heard for years. aud not few
officials believe that if divine service
was established on through trains
better Sunday patti onage would result.

PEAR BLIGHT.
1s Unusually Abundant This Year.
Cutting 1t out.


Pear blight has been unusually album
dant the present season, and it has
done great damage to orchard fruits.
Cutting out the blight may be done at
any time in the winter or spring up to
tn" period when growth begins. The
best time, however, is undoubtedly in
the fail. when the foliage is still on the
trees and til" contrast between that on
the blight"d and that on the healthy
limbs is 50 great that it is an easy mat
ter TO find all the blight. 1t is impor-
tant to cut out blight whenever it is
found, even in the growing season. At
that time of year. however. it cannot
be hoped to make much Roadway
against the disease. as new cases con-
stantly occur which are sufficiently de-
rclopcd to be seen when the cutting is
done. In orchards where there are
only a few trees and the owner has
sufficient time to go over them daily he
will be able to save some which would
otherwise be lost. However, when the
trees stop forming new wood the cam
paign should begin in earnest.
OF course the greater part of the
blight can be taken out the first time
the trees are gone over. If this be in
midsummer, the trees should all be
again carefully inspected in the au-
tumn, just before the leaves shed, 50
as to get every case that can be seen
ut that time. After this careful watch
