WoxeT HOrsesboefn6 Rack.

Shoeing a fractions horse is not q
task to be envied by any one. and
there is always danger of accident to
the man who performs the work IN
the ordinary manner, as the animal
seems possessed Of the idea that the
hoofs were made to defend itself with
instead Of to DE shod. In addition to
the danger to the shoer, the animal is
liable to iDiurt itself in the argument
and especially is this the case in shoe
ing colts for the first time, when
fright is generally the chief cause
of trouble. To overcome these
difficulties John Cea of Iowa has
designed the horseshoeing rack
shown in the illustration, the in
ventor claiming that the mechanism
will hold all parts of the animal Sc
curely in any desired position, at the
same time relieving the horse of all
strain and depriving it of the power
of injuring itself or the blacksmith.

A COUNTRY POAD!

A dusty, stone way. whose bord'ring sod
Is thick with blackberries and goldenrod;
Abrupt. bare hills on one side looking
down,
And from the other you can see the
town;
Follow me rivers course through mead
ows green,
Ger which thick woods and marble
ledgeS lean.
little further, where the road descends.
A brooks soft twinkle with some bird
song blends,
Ozone from its edge the dear old danes
Half hidden by quaint fowers) lush ber-
gamot
Makes sweet fits banks, its depths the
boys still swim,
Or watch the minnows from some willow
limb.
Upon its bridge how often I have stood,
Watching the west whose glory seemed
TO flood
With tenderest light the poorhouse and
the graves
Beside it-turn to gold the brooklet's
TIL from the hill. oh, dearest sight OF
ALL
I saw my father and 1 heard him call.
He came with sturdy stride and swinging
Ny hand in his-told my DAYS whole tale
OF joys, that meath his bright smile
seemed to grow,
While lessened was my every childish
Woe
AS his sweet words fell on my soul Ike

While we walked homeward through the
fragrant calm.

The Too rOomonrs6 Church.

The minister who complains that
Athe church has become too womanish
Ignores history. From the beginning
woman has been the chief reliance of
organized religion. Last at the cross
and earliest at the grave" was not
written yesterday. If there are few
men at church services would it be
worth while for the pulpit to ask itself
II the cause is its effeminacy? When
the gospel was preached with virility
men flocked to hear. n glance at the
themes of Chicago ministers any Sum
day discloses the phenomenon that to a
considerable extent everything but the
gospel is preached. The pulpit ap-
pears to be gravitating toward a type
Of oral magazine, to discuss literature,
art, politics, economics, travel, esthet-
les, novels, kitchen gardening, cos
tunes, speculations, poetry, domestic
science-everything except the gospel.
Men get superabundance of all these
things in the newspapers, the weeklies
and monthlies, nor do they find that
when the average pulpiteer addresses
himself to philosophy, science, states
manship or art, he has anything to
say which, if new, is valuable, or, If
old, was not said better long ago.

Hnofber Ecumenicaf Confer

The first ecumenical conference OF
the Methodist church was held in Lou
don in 1881. The second met in Wash
ington, D. c., Oct. Z, 1891. The third
viii meet in Wesley's chapel. City
road, London in September next.
The coming conference will discuss
the present position of Methodism,
the influence of Methodism in the pro-
motion of international peace. the re-
lation of Methodism to the Evangeli-
cal free church movement, MethodiSm
and Christian unity, Methodism and
education in the twentieth century,
and Christianity and modern unbelief.
but it will not discuss any question
upon which the Methodists have d.
vided.
Whether these ecumenical confer
ences have promoted closer fellowship
among Methodists is an open question,
but it is contended that the confer
.nces have promoted concerted action
among Methodists on important pub
lie and religious questions. Reports
are to be made at the coming confer
ence as to means for still further pro-
noting united action on questions Of
common inte rest to the laity and the
clergy.

BIGGEST SALVAGE RECORDED.
aving 81. 100000 in Gold from Steam.
shin ST. Paul.


When the big American line steam
ship st. Paul ran aground in a dense
sog on the Jersey beach, near the lower
end Of Long Branch, before daylight
on January %, 1896, in the cargo was
Sl.250 900 in gold, consigned to a firm
in New York. 1t was essential that
his should be landed. Arrangements
we're made with the Merritt Chapman
Wrecking company to have the strand
ed liner hauled off. She and her cargo.
including the gold, were heavily in
sured. After it was found that it was
going to be very difficult to float the
big ship the consignees of the gold
who needed it in their business, ap-
pealed to Captain Clark as Llyod's New
York agent to have it landed. 1t re-
mained aboard the vessel three days;
the fact of it being there rendered the
underwriters liable for heavier tax
IN the event of the vessel being float
ed. Naturally the American line dill
not make any strenuous efforts to have
the bullion discharged, and just as
naturally Lloyds were anxious to get
it off as quickly as possible. for in the
event Of storm arising and causing
the destruction of the ship the gold
would have added so much more to the
loss of the underwriters. Captain
Clark chartered a steamer and offered
to take charge of the gold and land it.
Thereupon the captain obtained a
promise that the gold would be landed
Immediately. Thus the underwriters
were relieved of the further risk and
expense of floating the stranded ship.
The gold was transferred 20 the lighter
Haggerty down a sagging chute-sug-
gestive stretch Of canvas in bags, kegs
and boxes. Twelve men armed with
revolvers guarded the treasure as It
was transferred from a pier to a truck
and taken to a vault in Wall street.
The award of $166,OO0 for salvage ser
vice in the case of the ST. Paul was
the largest ever obtained in an admir-
atty court. The ST. Paul was aground
ten days. 1t was said that she had not
a plate bent or rivet started.-Ains-

Cigarmaking by Mu &c.

A cigar manufacturing firm in Tren-
ton is attracting the attention of the
labor world by certain innovations for
maintaining order, holding the atten-
tion and increasing the efficiency
the 200 young women cigarmakers en-
ployed in its factory, says the Rutland
Herald. A piano has been placed in
the large work room, and a young wO-
man is employed to play it for two
hours each day. To keep the girls off
the streets at noon a teacher has been
hired to give free singing lessons at
the factory during the noon hour.
These innovations in New Jersey and
elsewhere in the Northern states, as
sert those well acquainted with the
cigar manufacturing industry, have
been adopted generally in Cuba Near
ly every large factory there has its
reader or musician. Cigarette factories
in Spain, it is said, are similarly
equipped. The reader, either a man or
woman, is employed to read aloud to
employees from the latest Spanish
novels or from the daily newspapers
The musician fills the same role as that
Of the performer engaged in the New
Jersey factory. The experience of the
Cuban manufacturer has been that this
method of claiming the mind of a
worker while his or her fingers are en-
ployed is not only productive of more
and better work, but adds immeasur-
ably to the good order of the factory
and the good temper and cheerfulness
of the operatives.

The British admiralty's estimate OF
the cost of the trip of the Duke and
Duchess of York on the steamship
Ophir includes the following items:
Wages of crew, S41,9S0; victualing and
clothing, s9,SS0; coal, $125,000; naval
stores, $3,14O; hire of the Ophir, $685.
500; total $S13,5 The British tax
payers are a loyal class of people, but
when they read in Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's budget statement that the
Boer war has added $275,000,000 to the
debt, that the deficit last year was
$255, ,935, 900, and that they must pay
56,000,000 of new taxes this year, they
will read the admiralty's estimate Of
the expense of the Duke of York's jun
keting trip with somewhat mixed feel

RIVERS UNDER THE OCEAN.
Streams of Fresh Water Said to Course
Under the Sea.

Streams of Fresh Water Said to Course
Under the Sea.
A few months ago H. Benest, an
English geographer, published an inter
esting study of streams of fresh water
flowing beneath the surface of the sea.
Disasters to ocean telegraph cables
first called attention to this subject
On several occasions, about 1895, a
new and wellmade cable between Cape
Verde and Brazil broke. Soundings
were made to discover whether these
breakings were due to the state of the
sea bottom, and it was found that the
place in question was near the sub
marine mouth of a subterranean river;
the alluvial material transported by
this fresh water stream encountered
the cable and finally succeeded in
breaking it. The fact is that a river
that flows into the lagoons of Yof, on
the coast Of Senegal is finally lost in
the sand. 1t undoubtedly has taken
its invisible course to the sea, and it
is this river that has been discovered
in the deep hollow of more than | 300
meters (4,270 feeD that is transversed
by the Brazilian cable. Also while the
