FARM WORK RETARDED.
Effect of the Weather During the Pm
Week.

- ~--S w curing the faSt
Week.
The following Is the weather bureau sum-
mary of crop conditions:
The week ending April 16 has been much
too cold, and farm work has been generally
retarded. Temperatures below freezing oc-
CURED in nearly all sections north of the
northern boundaries of North Carolina Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma, the low
est ranging from 10 degrees to % degrees
below freezing over the northern portion
Of the lake region and states of the middle
and northern Rocky mountain slope These
unusually low temperature conditions were
accompanied by excessive precipitation
much in the form of snow, over the lower
Missouri valley and middle Rocky mountain
slope, and frosts were quite general as far
south as the interior portions of the gulf
and South Atlantic states. In Florida and
on the Pacific coast the weather conditions
were more favorable.
Corn planting has continued In the south
ern states, but farther north little progress
has been made during the week. although
preparations for planting have been active
A small acreage has been planted in Ten
nesSee and some as far north as Virginia.
The condition of winter wheat continues
about as reported in the previous week
Over the southern portion of the winter
wheat belt the condition Of the crop is
very promising, while In the more northerly
sections the previously reported unfavorable
conditions remain practically unchanged,
except further deterioration In Illinois and
Ohio. The condition of winter wheat on
the Pacific coast continues very favorable
except in southern California.
Spring wheat seeding Is nearing compile
tion and the early sown Is coming I'D over
the southern portion Of the spring wheat
Most Of the oat crop has been seeded in
the states of the central valleys, and seed
Ing is in progress in the middle Atlantic
states, Minnesota and" South Dakota. In
the more southerly sections good stands are
reported. ~
Slow progress has been made with cot
ton planting during the week, but prepara-
lions have been extensive, Some cotton
has been planted in the Carolinas. but none
in Tennessee. Moisture is needed in Geor-
gia, while portions of Texas have suffered
from overfiows. In the last named state
poor stands Of the early planted are re-
ported. Warm sunshine Is generally need
ed for cotton, especially in the central and
western portions Of the cotton belt
Some tobacco has been transplanted in
South Carolina. The outlook for a plenti-
full supply of plants in Virginia is encour-
aging, but the growth of plants in North
Carolina and Florida has been slow
Although frosts have occurred extensively
and have undoubtedly caused material dam
age to fruit the injury in many sections
| promises to be slight, the outlook in the At
| lantic coast states being very encouraging.
| On the Pacific coast frosts of the previous
week were damaging, the injury being less
! serious in Washington and California than
| in Oregon.

TO MODIFY THE CREED.
Action aiken by a Number of Pres
lYterieH.

AT a meeting last night of the Milwaukee
presbytery, which embraces large portion
of the state of Wisconsin, steps were taken
looking to reform in the Presbyterian
creed. An overture was offered by the
Rev. j. G. Blue Of Waukesha, and passed,
petitionfng the general assembly to take the
matter up. The overture reads as follows:
I'VE, the presbytery of Milwaukee, hereby
overture the general assembly to appoint
a committee of one minister and one elder
from each synod to formulate declara-
ton of the essential truths Of the gospel
Of Christ appropriate to the needs Of the
present time and make it a test of admis-
sion to- and good standing in, the ministry
At a meeting of the Chemung New York;
preSbytery 1T was unanimously voted to
urge the general assembly to formulate a
short creed on the ground that the old
confession of faith contains several state
ments which are no longer believed by any
one, and that it is too extensive q docu-
ment to be of practical use as a statement
of doctrine. The pastoral relations of Rev.
A. F. Decamp and the Lake Street Pres
byterian Church, Elmira- were dissolved as
result of the pastor allowing the Saliva
ton Army to conduct meetings in the
church last winter.
Blairsville presbytery, one Of the largest
bodies of Presbyterians in Pennsylvania,
yesterday unanimously adopted an overture
vision Of the confession of faith The
document claims that the present creed is
too long. not up to date, and is not being
lived up to by members of the denomina-
ton. No specific change is nominated, but
the action taken is looked upon by the
pIesbyters as being in line with the agi-
tation of the subject which appears to be
general throughout the country at pres
ent.
The presbytery of Northumberland, Pa,
adopted the following overture to the gen.
eral assembly relative to a new short
creed: I'VE, the presbytery of Northumber-
land, do overture the general assembly to
appoint a committee to take into consid-
Grafton the whole matter of a restatement
of our doctrinal standard and to report to
the next following assembly what, in their
judgment, should be the action of the
church on this subject
Rev. Hay Watson Smith, lately called
from Greensboro. N. c., to the pastorate of
the Second Presbyterian Church at Little
Rock, Ark, announces his withdrawal from
the Presbyterian ministry a protest
against the Westminster confession of faith.
He says he sees no possibility of revised
creed in the Southern Presbyterian Church.
He will probably ally himself with the
Congregational Church.

mittee said: "Of course, she will be treated
royalty, but whether she will receive more
attention than the other women who come
must be determined after she has notified
the committee of her acceptance of the in

'"There are women who would wish to
take charge of Miss Gould and entertain
her privately. Again, Miss Gould might
not wish to be recognized by the ladies'
committee for fear of detracting from the
honor due Mrs. Dewey

EARLY Methods Of Food Preservation.

DR.. s. Rideal recently published a pa
per before the Society of Arts, in which
he gave some very interesting infOrma-
ton regarding the methods used to pre-
serve food in ancient and modern times,
He stated there were only a few early
illusions to the use of salt, vinegar and
allied substances to keep food from
putrefying, and none of them were of
much Importance
1t was not until the middle of the
nineteenth century that it was discov-
cred that small quantities of certain
antiseptics would enable the original
qualities to be retained and prevent the
decay for considerable period with
less influence upon the digestive or
gans, than the old curing processes.
Recently compressed oxygen and
sterilized air have been tried for pre-
serving milk and butter. When the
latter is kept in carbon dioxide at
pressure of six atmospheres it often
remains unchanged for four or five
weeks. 1t has been found, however,
ineffective to prevent changes in milk
or meat. 1t has been found also that
the sterilizing effect of carbonic acid
in mineral waters is not as great as has
been thought.-Scientific American.

The Sheep's Wool,

There was once a sheep who lived in
a pleasant green field. He ate the grass
| and drank the water.
One day a man came along. He look
ed at the sheep and said: 'Oh, you
are dirty! l must wash you" He
caught the sheep and dragged him into
the pond. "Baa, baaw said the sheep.
He thought he was going to be drown
ed. But the man only squeezed him
up in handfuls and waggled him about
by his legs till the sheep was clean.
Then he gave him a push up the
bank and let him 60. ''Baa, baav'
bleated the sheep. He stood dripping
on the grass. He hadn't any towel,
but the warm sun soon dried him.
Next day the man came again with
great pair of scissors. The sheep
ran away-ran as fast as he could
but the man ran faster and caught him.
'Baa, baar' said the sheep. He thought
he was going to be killed this time.
The man took his scissors-snip, snap,
snip, snap-and the sheep was too
frightened to baa. But the man was
only cutting the sleeps hair. Sleeps
hair is wool. Snip, snap, snip snap.
BY and by all the wool was off. Then
the man let the sheep run away-baa,
baa-quite naked. But the wool they
put in the train-puff, puff, puff-and
brought it up to town to make baby's
cozy socks with.

A Queer Article of Diet.

The old schoolboy recipe of prepar-
ing lemonade by crushing the bodies
of ants, diluting the composition with
water and sweetening it with sugar,
is brought to mind by the account CIV
en- in an Australian paper of the popu-
larity as an article of diet among the
natives of the Bogong moth, which
they collect in thousands from OPEN
ings in granite rocks. On both sides
of many of the. valleys in the Bogong
mountains, the moths are found in
great masses, both sides of deep
chasms being literally covered with
the insects, packed closely side by
side and overlapping. A traveller who
went to investigate the district, cooked
about quart of the moths and found
them exceedingly palatable, with a
favor of walnut. The native collect
them by spreading blanket or sheet
of bark beneath them. The moths, on
being disturbed with a stick, fall down
and are gathered up before they have
time to crawl or fly away and are
thrust into bag. A hole is then made
in the sand in which fire is put until
the sand is thoroughly heated. The
moths are then poured out of the bag,
stirred about in the hot ashes and
placed on sheet of bark until cold.
They are then sifted in a net, to get
rid of the heads, the wings and the legs
have been previously singed off, and
eaten as crisp and tender morsel by
the natives. When they are intended
to be kept they are ground into paste
and made into cakes.-Chicago Record.

THE END or THE WAY,

Where the rough road turns there's 8
valley sweet
Where the skies are starred and fair
wen forget the thorns and the moon
day heat
And rest in the roses there.
And the dark of the dreary, weary
night
Will be lost at last in the morning
light.
Where the rough road turns there's a
haven blest
Where the ships at anchor ride,
And the sea winds sing sweet songs
of rest
Over the dreamless tide.
Where the tempests fade from silent
And the sails are furled forevermore.
U rest in the beautiful valley sweet,
And rest in the haven still.
What though the storms on the brave
ships beat
Though the thorns are keen to kill
Let us dream that the dark of the
dreary night
Will be lost at last in the morning
light. f. L. Stanton.

Visited the Caves Of Mokana.

Captain Cameron, on his journey
through Urua, in 1872, heard Of the
cave dwellers in the districts Of the
headwaters of the Congo River, but in
spite of all the efforts he made, was
unable to discover them. News comes
now from Brussels that Lieutenant
Leon Cerckel, of the Congo State
troops, succeeded in locating these cav
ems. According to report published
in lie Movement Geographic these
caves are situated in the mountains
and hills which surround the Valley of
the Lufira, tributary of the Lualaba.
The Lufira falls down at Duo over a
rock some 100 feet high, whence it
flows through a ravine of from 400 to
500 feet deep, surrounded by steep
rocky mountains. In distance Of about
ten miles from the Duo Fall are the
caves of Mokana. All the caves are sit
uated in the rocks. Some of them are
two miles and even more in length, and
most of them are inhabited by savage
tribes. Lieutenant Cerckel says that
they are absolutely dark, but not hui
mid, and that at least several thousand
people dwell therein. The fires which
burned within the caves caused a dense
smoke, which made a close investiga-
ton impossible. Cerckel succeeded on
ly in entering some of the caves after
he had presented the chief of the tribe
with large quantities Of colored cotton
prints and brass goods, and even then
he was soon compelled to leave the dis
trict with his companions, as his life
was threatened by the savages.

the Horse Liked Beans

1t happened that horse and his rid.
err had often occasion to take a certain
journey together. The master usually
put up at the same inn for dinner, nor
while he fed was the horse forgotten,
for it was given n good meal of corn
in the stable, the friendly hostler al
ways throwing in heaped up handful
of beans.
Then came time when the rider left
the district for two years, during
which the inn changed owners. On his
return to the old neighborhood the
travels were renewed, but the very
first time the rider was at dinner at the
inn he was told during the meal that
there was something wrong, as the
horse refused to eat his corn, which
was of the best.
The master left the table and went to
the stable to learn what was wrong.
So soon as the horse saw him it neighed
and gave a significant glance from him
to the manger. Then it struck him that
the animal had missed some usual food,
and he babe the hostler give it some
beans. This was doEe at once. The
horse looked gratefully at it's rider and
began to eat with relish and content
ment.
