OLD swepss CHURCH.
during Two Hundred and Sixty Years Not a
Sunday Service Was Omit ed.

The history OF Old Swedes, or Gloria
Del, as the church's true name is, goes
back to a blackhouse-the blockhouse
OF Wcaco. This building. in I677, GER
tain Swedish colonists dedicated as a
church, because the existing Swedish
church at Tinicum was too far away
from them. Jacobus Fabritius was the
first pastor, and on Trinity Sunday he
preached to the Swedes his first SER
mon. The blockhouse upon the site OF
which the church stands was a little
wooden fort, with loopholes through
which TO wing" approaching enemies.
The men OF the congregation th-r.
brought their guns to service, "osten-
sibly," the historian says, TO shoot wild
game that they might meet on ;hc
road" And even after the blockhouse
had been dedicated, a number OF women
their husbands being away, once tool;
refuge in II from an attacking party oi
Indians, and, as they had been soap max.
ing when attacked they used kettles o
boiling soap for their defense and with
these kept the red men off till help ar
rived, says the Boston Transcript
Fabritius died in 1902, after serving the
church for fourteen years, during the
last nine OF which he was blind. The
congregation was poor and paid hin
little, it would seem, for in the colonial
records appear his application to tho
council, June 10, 1855, for a permit tc
open and keep an inn. The council ie
fused to let him do this, and so he tool
up fish curing. William Penn, in a let
ter to his steward, said: You may pro.
cure fine. smoked shads of the old
priest" An interesting reference to the
old church is made by Longfellow in
"Evangeline," when describing the Sun
day morning scene. toward the close o
the poem; he speaks of the sound %
psalms sung by the Swcdes in theii
! church at Wicaco." For many years thC
congregation of Old Swedes has be.
longed to the Episcopal communion.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Trade Is Growing-Drop in Failures for August
Another Hopeful Sign-Corn Crop
Is Very Promising.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says: Commercial failures dur
ing August were 73s in number, with
liabilities OF $7,323Oo3. Manufacturing
were IA for $2,o4s ,oo7; trading, $40 for
S3,5S5, ,oo7, and other commercial, AZ for
S702,o2o. There were only two banks
with liabilities OF $4,000. This is the
best monthly statement Tor 1000 thus far,
but shows an increase over the corre-
spending month in the two preceding
years. Steady Improvement is seen in
the iron market 1t is not marked by
large advances but wherever change oc-
ours it is in the right direction. II is
claimed by some authorities that orders
currently booked aggregate more than
present production and shipments. Spe-
cial concessions to secure prospective
business are withdrawn, and buyers seek
contracts for prompt delivery. In some
lines mills are actively employed with
orders for months ahead, and contracts
running to June were placed this week
Sales OF iron bars were made at $I4o,
and $40 is quoted for Bessemer pig at
Pittsburg. Western stove manufactur-
ers have been buying freely and more
bridge builders signed contracts for
structural material. Merchant steel ad-
vanced on increasing orders, while do
mestc purchases OF cotton ties were
large, although rather late.
Wheat, including flour. shipments for
the week aggregate S,24S,3I3 bushels
against 2,6o5, ,I6S bushels last week,
3oI3443 bushels for the corresponding
week OF 1899; S,o87,o4o bushels in 1905;
o,2oS, 247 bushels in 1897, and 33oo,S62
bushels in 1906. From July I, to date
this, season wheat exports are 2o9447oI
bushels against 32,I22,337 bushels last
season, and ao,5o5,5o2 bushels in ISoS-oo
Corn exports for the week aggregate
3.7I74oo bushels against 3,4o3. .37s bush
els last week; 4,l67,SoS bushels this
week year ago; I.66I,7 bushels in
1893; 3,IS5,oo4 bushels in 1897, and
2,527,5I6 bushels in 1906, From July l
to date this season corn exports are
32ooI.o I.o7o bushels against 4I2oo,634
bushels last season, and 24,53SooS bush
els in 1850.
Corn crop advices are viewed as rath-
er better because OF the ending OF the
late dry, hot spell at the West Cot
ton crop conditions are still, however
only partially defined and leading State
authorities are quoted as predicting a
short crop. The .stcadness OF staple
prices is feature in the present quiet
ness OF trade.
Failures aggregated los for the week
as against 1876 last week; 1871 in this
week year ago; Io4 in 1865 1903 in
1907, and 1874 in 1896.
Canadian failures number a. against
20 last week and rs this week a year
ago.

Feeding Young Turkeys.

I consider the feeding of young tur-
keys the most important part in rails
ing them. The first twenty-four hours
after Matching they require no food.
After this they should be fed light
every three hours for two weeks. For
a change curd or hard-boiled eggs may
bread soaked in sweet milk. Feed this
be used. Keep fresh water before
them all the time. If you have no wa
ter fountain here Is good way to
make one. With nail make two
holes in tin can one-half inch from
top. Fill the can with water and turn
1t upside down in saucer or shallow
pan. This prevents the turkey from
running through the water and get.
ting damp. After two weeks. feed
baked corn bread, made of two-thirds
cOrnmeal and one-third wheat or rye
bran. If the bread becomes dry,
moisten with sweet milk. Avoid slop.
py food and never give corn dough.
They should be fed this bread until
they are ready to fatten for market.
Then give them corn night and morn.
Ing, IL they have good range, If not,
oftener. Keep plenty of grit or shell
before them at all times. We use
crushed oyster shell and find 1t is
very good.-Mrs. James Curry, in The
Epitomist.

CHUNKS OF WISDOM FROM BOYS.
Some Gems in the Way Of Recent Answers
al the EngIlsh Schools.

There are some curious answers by
boys in English public schools. Or
one occasion the English constitution
was described thus: The English con
stitution is a very comprehensive style
OF governing, founded on the innumera-
bic laws OF England. In carly Briton
times there were no laws, but people
walked about naked, and painted blew
(sic) all over with wode (sic). In Saxon
times there were not above from six
TO a dozen laws altogether, wherefore
there were not any lawyers needed. But
now there are so many laws that men
have to learn them for a business. The
main body OF people could never find
time to learn all the laws OF England y
The execution of Charles |. is dealt
with in the following manner: Charles
]. had his own opinion OF how to be a
King. He did not think common En-
glishmcn's idea was much OF King al
fall. He said they wanted to tell him
what King is. But he said they
must leave it to him TO show them
rather. This angered people. So Car
dinal Wolseley, Sir Isaac Newton, Sir
George Wombwell and General Lesley
had him tried by the Inns OF Court for
exceeding himself, and put to death in
the presence OF the Lord Mayor and
Aldermen of London, where the Aqua
rum now stands"
Another boy thus tackles the theory
OF the tides: "The tides are fight
between the earth and the moon. All
water tends towards the moon, because
there is no water in the moon, and ma
ture abhors vacuum. Gravitation at
the earth keeps the water from rising all
the way to the moon. | forget whether
the sun joins in this fight"
But the next boy is real wit: "A
vacuum is nothing shut up in box
They have a way OF pumping out the air
When all the air and everything else is
shut out, naturally they are able to shut
in nothing, where the air was before. -

Raising Queen Bees.

During the swarming season is n
pd time to raise some of the best
ems. Queens reared In natural
ming are certain to be the best,
t Is very easy matter to save
II we but take the trouble to
'out the cells and divide them
6und In some nucleus of one or two
ames each. This can easily be done
Dby taking frame of Matching brood
from a strong colony and placing II
In hive to itself, and using division
board to contract the space in the
hive. This frame of brood should be
near the Matching point, and best If
the young bees are just Matching. and
the bees adhering to the frame should
also go with 1t.
We must be careful when taking out
such frames, that the old queen of the
colony is not with it, and it Is best to
first look for the queen and see on
what comb she is located When the
frame of bees is established in the
hive, proceed TO select the queen cell
for 1t. and cut 1t out of the comb
where located and insert it in the
nucleus by cutting In the centre of the
comb hole to receive 1t. 1t should
be well fitted In and made as secure
as possible. for the bees In waxing ii
may tumble 1t out.
In cutting out queen cells. 1t is nee.
essary to do 1t with care and in no
wise damage 1t. A little of the comb
should be taken with it, so that the
cutting VIII not interfere with the cell
proper. After the first swarm issues.
until about eight days thereafter, Is
the time to get those cells. and. per.
haps, three or four days after the
swarm is out, Is the best time to do
It. as the cells are thus nearly ripe,
and will stand more hardship than II
taken out earlier. But about the end
of eight days after the first swarm
Issues, the cells begin to hatch. and
the bees again swarm. and the surplus

The Isolation of Afghnnistan.

While China is in upheavnl in its ef-
fort to rid itself of foreign influence,
the Ameer of Afghanistan has sue
ceeded in almost completely isolating
himself and his country from his In.
dian neighbors. By the imposition of
heavy duties and prohibltory regula.
tions he has all but annihilated the
trade with India by Dakka and the
khyber Pass. His last act has been
to create monopoly in postens or
sheepskin coats, assafoetida, almonds
and pOmegranates he has altogether
prohibited the export of horses and
mules, and the import OF Indian salt.
In 1S99-10OO only thirty-three horses
reached Peshawur from Afghanistan,
rs against 266 In 1898; while in the
matter Of salt, the figures were sixty.
two camel, mule and bullock lOads,
against 28S5. The tax on sheep is now
so high that the export of them to In
dia fell from 16,137 to 6132 in one year.
This policy of the Ameer Is strongly
resented in India, but he pays no at
tention whatever to the representa-
tions that have been addressed to him,
and since the beginning of the Boer
war he has taken advantage OF the
situation 1t created to rid himself Of
nearly ever one of the foreigners that
were In his service. OF his relations
with Russia very little appears to be
known, but his great aim appears to
be to avoid all intercourse with his
Eastern neighbors.-New York Sun.
