Rev. c. 0. Isaac made addresses. The
special musical features were a solo by
Mrs. Grace Linger and anthems by the
choir. John E. Fort, recently elected
president, gave short outline OF the
Epworth League movement and traced
the growth of Anacostia Chapter since
It's organization in December. 1890, under
the pastorage of Ezekiel Richardson. At
present Anacostia has a membership OF
125, and one of the best Junior Leagues
in the District.
Mrs. Carrie Campbell, third vice presi-
dent, of this chapter, has charge Of the
Bible study class. She took Mrs. Grace
Linger's place, who resigned on account
OF her removal TO Washington.
Anacostia Chapter is to have trolley
ride to Rockville on Wednesday evening,
June II.
A strawberry festival. under the aus
pices of the Sunday school, will be held
at Gorsuch NJ. E. Church, on next Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, June 2
and 3, at p. m. Tickets for the same
have been issued, and arrangements for
the festival are nearing completion.
In her report to the general board of
control held at Philadelphia on May 6,
Mrs. Annie E. Smiley. general superin-
tendent OF the Junior League in the
United States, gave some interesting
information relative to the juniors. The
report. in part, follows:
I'VE have now S.4T2 chapters of the
Junior Epworth League. of which num-
Der 401 have been organized during the
year. This numerical growth is most
gratifying. and the corresponding in
crease in interest and efficiency in
methods of work is equally satisfactory.
The scope of the Junior Epworth
League is TO be enlarged in the near
future 1t is proposed to grade the
Junior League chapters, wherever this
is feasible, into three grades, namely,
primary, intermediate and senior. The
age limit is to be increased to sixteen
years, and II Is confidently believed the
senior grade of the Junior League will
bridge the chasm that has existed be-
tween the Junior League and the Ep-
worth League chapter.
"a system of helps is being arranged
that Will greatly facilitate the work of
the Junior League, and will place in
the hands of the Junior superintendent
and assistants the tools they so much
need in order to do good work The
Junior League Mission Bands are now
being organized into banGs of Kings
Heralds, which Is the new name chosen
by the Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety. A little trunk is the new mite
box The globe mite boxes which are
being sent out 10 the members of the
gospel expansion army In our Junior
League are also inspiring the children
to give for world wide missions"
In conclusion Mrs Smiley's report
says:
IF ever there was q time when there
was need to complain that the pastors
undervalue the Importance of the
Junior work. that time is past, for pas
tors. presiding elders, editors. and
bishops vie with one another In saying
good things of the Junior Epworth
League.
With the brightest of prospects
ahead OF US, we may thank God and take
courage as we go on into the future"

Childless Families.
rom the Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
There Is much discussion over a condi-
ton as old as the human family. The
proposition IS that a people or a family
which becomes prosperous Is given to in
tellectuality and sintense activity, is likely
to fail in raising successors enough to sup
ply their places in the total of population
On the other hand. the laboring people,
people of simple physical pursuits, raise
large families. This condition has always
existed. The soAcaHed upper ranks have
ever been recruited from the lower The
brain power, of the human is limited: its
energy exhausts vitality. If directed for
long periods in one way. 1t Is at the cost
of other lines of application. 1t Is just as
true of other animals: high breeding al
ways tends to reduce the ratio of reproduc-
ton. This is natural, and more, 1t Is
right
we forget that children must do some
thing for themselves. We imagine that
under the highest culture they should ytep
into the places of their fathers This is a
false view. 1t is impossible and ineonsist.
ent with the perpetuity of the race as a
whole. Suppose that had been tine law of
nature from the first: what would the
human race have become long ago? Ma.
ture is a system of balances; extremes are
compensated for to the preservation Of the
middle and greater body. 1t Is by action
and reaction that all is accomplished The
top of the wheel moves twice as fast an6
the bottom is standing, but the wheel as
whole is going steadily on.

Gardens in Paris.
From the Architectural Record.

From the Architectural Record.
Some of Paris parks are so small that
they do not figure on the maps of Paris, as,
for instance, the Square de la Trfnite,
which, limited in size as it is, can neverthe-
less boast of plots of grass, flowers, trees
and a fine drinking fountain. Another such
spot is the garden in which stands the
Musee Galliera-in fact similar squares are
scattered all over Paris and it's suburbs,
providing room near home for children to
indulge in the healthy occupation of making
sand castles and other such pastimes. 1t
would take too long to speak of all these
open spaces, but we must not omit to men
tion the newly arranged Cours-la-Reine,
which now consists OF continuous series
Of shady pathways bordered by flower beds,
extending alongside the river from the
Point de la Concorde to the Point de Alma.
IT has also been decided to transform the
Champ de Mars into a garden. 50 as to form
a continuation of the Jardins du Trocadero.
with the Seine flowing between. All this Is
evidence of a fixed determination to beau
tify the city, and 1t also shows to what ex-
tent Paris is prepared to go for its luxuries.
It must, however, be remarked that no out
lays could be more democratic In character
than the expenditure incurred upon public
parks and gardens. and that IL these out
lays help to make Paris a paradise for the
foreigners who visit 1t and spend money in
1t, they are of immediate and permanent
benefit to the mass of the population.

Haste Of Surgeons,
From the New York Tribune.


Without doubt there Is disposition on
the part Of some surgeons to use the knife
on slight provocation. With modern aseptic
surgical methods. cutting has come to seem
to them as much a matter of course as the
administration Of dose of calomel seemed
to their predecessors Of two generations
ago. Under such circumstances there is a
natural tendency to perform operations
without in all cases giving due weight to
the wishes Of patients and their friends.
This Is particularly true in public hospitals,
where treatment, not of persons, but of
cases. becomes inevitable. Therefore 1t is
not bad thing for the medical profession
to be sharply reminded of its responsible
ties. as 1t has been by a Chicago court.

Machines That Seem to Think.
ON the Engineering Ma0azine


The home Of the dipper dredge is on the
great lakes. There it flourished, and in the
smaller sizes and in non-tidal fresh water
at twenty feet depth was marvelously eff
cient. A good wooden dredge Of ten years
ago, which cost, say, 10000. would do
1,J0O or 1900 cubic yards per ten hours,
with crew Of six men, on three tons Of
coal.
1t could lift It's spuds, move up and reset
again in ninety seconds. 1t stands alone
like a table on its legs, with no mornings to
obstruct navigation. By means of its dip
per on the bottom 1t can move itself about
crab-fashion in any direction and by the
same means can push the barges about
which it Is loading. 1t can maneuver itself
In any direction, load scows, dig founda-
tions. pull piles, lay concrete blocks, deposit
back-filling, lift boulders raise wrecks
dredge hard or soft material, and do nearly
everything but vote. It's great simplicity
made it light in repairs. With tools like
these. and suitable for their work. the mar
vel is not that American contractors do not
use the big and costly European ladder
dredges, but that these useful American
tools do not find wider recognition in Eu-
rope and abroad.

Valley Forge Memorials.
From the Philadelphia Press.

The state has been rather slow In making
adequate provision for placing Washing
tons Valley Forge camp ground under pub
lie guardianship. The Valley Forge Me-
mortal Association has acquired the Wash
inston Headquarters and some of the land
about. but the greater part of the old en-
campment Is still under private ownership
The legislature is asked to pass bill au-
thorizing the purchase by the state of the
rest OF the camp ground and its conversion
into public park. This measure will nat
urally have a sympathetic friend in Gov
Pennypacker. We hope before the end OF
his administration to see all this historic
and hallowed ground brought under state
ownership and preserved as a perpetual re-
minder of the heroism and suffering of
Washington's little army-the hope of the
young republican the cruel winter of 1777-

From the Chicago inter Ocean
"Who reads an American book?" is
question that was asked In derision at the
early dawn of our literature. Yet, IL things
literary continue to go as they are now
going. Sydney Smiths contemptuous re-
mark will soon have to be changed to this:
who does not read an American book?"
AS matter of fact. American supremacy,
already established in trade and finance, Is
now among the possibilities Of current let
tiers. Few persons realize. to what extent
American books have taken possession of
the booksellers counters and the libra
rians shelves in Great Britain.
