THE CONGREdATIONAL CHURCH.

THE SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE, AU-
 GUST 25.
 Next Sunday evening, August 25. the August missionary meeting will be held in the church at 7.30 o'clock. It will take the form of a praise service, when the pastor will give incidents connected with the great missionary hymns of the Church and the story of their origin. Few:realize.h how many of these splendid hymns have grown out of great crises in the history of the Church and what an inspiring influ- ence they have had.
 The Christian Endeavor meeting next Sunday evening, August 25, will be devoted to the Juniors. All the older members are asked to have their parts suited to the children-a story, a simple prayer, a thought. Subject, "Daily Prayer," Ps. 34: 1-22.
 The next "rally' prayer-meeting oc- CUTS on Friday evening next week, Au- gust 30. Subject, "Knowing in whom we have believed" Acts 2: 22-4O. The pastor is leader for the meeting. En- couraged by what has already been ac- cOmpliShed in these meetings, let us go forward.
 w AOlA U1C' CAPOoIOAoLA Ol OAAC oAhSdy school lesson at the prayer meeting this Friday evening, a brief devotion al service twill be held on the topic, ''Self-sacrifce, Mat. 16: 24-2S. This corresponds to the Sunday school les son for August 25, Abraham and Isaac," Gen. P: 1-l2. MT Farnham Fox, one of our summer guests, leads this evenings devotional meeting.
 A nice collection of books has been received to help in replacing the pri- vate library of Miss Abbie Chapin, of Picking, China, who lost nearly all her personal property through the Boxers. Miss Chapin'was honored by the Red Cross Society for her services in the hospital during the siege of Peking, and is a noble heroine of the Cross. Books may yet be left at the parsonage to be sent in the fall shipment of the American Board to China, and one could hardly wish for a better OppOr- tunity to do little worthy work.

Manager Henry H. Garfield of the Woodbury ball team was in town on Sunday and called on Manager Gordo n of the local team. Up to date the Woodbury team has refused to pay the $lO guaranteed the visitors on the ground that there was no game. Eight innings were played and five constitute a game. The doctor point edly asked his visitor if there was no game why it was they retained the gate money. MT Garfield said, how ever, that he had paid back some of the entrance fees. Dr Gordon offered to leave out the question whether or no game was played to 'Nick" Young of the National League, and if he said there was no game, he would cheerfully abide by his decision and not put in claim for the BIO. The very fact that Manager Garfield drove over to Newtown and looked up the local manager would seem to indicate that his conscience troubled him and that he wished to make amends for the unfair treatment accorded to the New town team.

stood on His Dignity,

A few years ago John Best, the emil nent organist. very dignified man. was present at great public dinner at Liverpool. and 1t was understood that he would contribute a short organ re- cital to the harmony of the evening The organ will now play" was the curt style in which the mayor who was in the chair. chose to announce the performance, and Mir. Best sat still in his place. taking no notice whatever of the observation. The mayor repeated the words in q louder tone of voice and still the great musician made no sign.
 A waiter came and whispered to Mir Best Didn't you hear his worship. sir? The organ will now play" Mir. Best merely looked up with a surprised and injured air. "Confound the or gan"' he said. Let 1t playw
 The message was duly conveyed to the mayor, and then the mayor rose again. Our distinguished fellow townsman, MT. Best" he said, twill now very kindly oblige us with selec- ton of music OH the organ" Then and not before MT. Best arose and enter tained the company.

John's Many Names.

The majority of the names that you see on the signs of laundries or tea stores kept by Chinamen are simply fancy names adopted for their auspi- cious significance. They are simply notices, having no reference to the proprietor or the members of a firm whatsoever.
 Every properly constituted Chlnaman has five names besides his surname or cognomen. The last Is fixed and hand cd down from one generation to an other.
 Every male child born in China Is first called by his milk name" When he grows old enough to attend school. he takes book name" When he has learned the mysteries of composition, he competes for literary honors under an assumed name, which Is finally adopted. When he successfully passes hts aran1in atinns and obtains his sie- gree his equals address him by nnoth- CT, either coined by them or adopted by him. At his marriage he adopts still another, called style. Chron- icle

Me1liHuous "Bahoo" English.

The late c. W Stevens gives an ex- ample of "Bahoo' English In his book, ''In India" It Is an effort to express admiration for the speech of Pundit Madam Mohan Malavayya at a native congress:
 His speech is as melifuous as his name. He has sweet voice and Is one of the most enthusiastically vel comed of men on the congress plat form Neither tall nor short nor stout, but thin; not dark. dressed in pure white. with white robe which goes round his shoulders and ends down be- low the knees. Mir Madam Mohan stands like Eiffel's tower when be ad- dresses his fellow congressman.
 He stands slanting forward. admira- bly preserving his center of gravity. His speeches are full of pellucid and sparkling statements, and his rolling and lnterminable sentences travel out of his mouth in quick succession, pro- ducing thrilling impression on the au- dlence There is music in his voice, there Is magic in his eye, and he Is one of the sweet charmers of the congress company"

Performance Is what is now wanted. There has been profusion of promises.
 The proposition has been made to put the J. R. Roberts on the run temporarily. It |, maintained that she is perfectly seq worthy by those who propose to operate her. If another and better boat is not available, the Roberts should be given trial. If it would give service until better boat be secured, something will have been accomplished.

 AcSoIuihs to the scieuce Colulun Ol a German weekly paper. the hens of China lead busy lives. When not en- gagged in matching out brood of their own kind. they are put to the addi tional and novel task of matching fish eggs. Chinese cheap labor collects the spawn of fish from the waters edge, puts 1t In an empty eggshell. which Is then dramatically sealed with wax and placed under the unsuspectlng and con- scientious hen. In few days the egg shell Is removed. and the spawn which has been warmed into life Is emptied into shallow pool. Here the fish that soon develop are nursed until strong enough to be turned into a lake or stream.

Food Values,

Blanched almonds are the highest kind of nerve or brain or muscle food, having no heat or waste, says writer in Good Housekeeping. Walnuts give brain or nerve food. muscle. heat and waste. Green water grapes are blood purifying. but of little food value. Blue grapes are feeding and blood purifying, but too rich for those who suffer from the liver. Tomatoes have higher nerve or brain food qualities; they are thin ming and stimulating. Juicy fruits give more or less nerve or brain nutriment and some few muscle food and waste. Apples supply the higher nerve and muscle food. but do not give staying qualities. Prunes afford the highest nerve or brain food. supply heat and waste, but are not muscle feeding. Or anges are refreshing and feeding. Green figs contain nerve and muscle food. heat and waste. The great ma jority of small fresh seed fruits are laxative. Lemons and tomatoes should not be used daily In cold weather; they have a thinning and cooling effect. Raisins are stimulating according to their quality.

to protest against more money and more
manufacture here than to vote for
Bryanarchists for state and county Off

vagaries and illusions of Bryan in 1900
ought to be voted against in 1901 by all

strong, rich, wages paying and raw
products-buying factories and by all
those who wish more industrial plants in

cheered the malicious and untruthful
assaults Of Bryan & Co. upon the in

ought to insist upon planting row Of
