Wilmington Mcthodism was born IN 1866.
At that time Captain Thomas webb, an
officer IN the British army. came here
from Philadelphia and preached under
some trees near the corner OF King and
Kent streets, now Eighth and King
streets After these meetings had been
held there for some time the first assem-
blage of Methodists worshiped in an up
per story OF Captain Joseph Glpin's store
house on King street wharf. They after
wards occupied John Thelwells school
room az the southeast corner OF Third and
King streets, and IL was there that the
first society obtained its formation. on
May -, 1859. a lot OF ground near tho
southeast corner OF WNnut and Third
streets WAS purchased from Caleb WAY
and Sarah, his wife. for the sum Of iO5
pounds for the purpose OF erecting thero-
on house OF worship. 1t was on this lot
of ground that in i7s9 less than four years
after the organization Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. the society proceeded
TO rear a house for tho worship of God.

THE STEAMER STEWARD.
A busy Man Who Carries n Heavy
Load of Responsibility.

The comfort OF the passenger de
pends perhaps more on the vigilance
and executive ability Of the chief stew
ard than any one else. He it is who or
ders the supplies for the voyage, has a
minute knowledge Of what the store
rooms and refrgerators contain and
sees that the menu for each meal is
ample. well cooked and daintily served.
lie makes arrangements IN port for
the entire trip. plans each days meals
at sea and with the assistance of the
chief cook gets up the menu card. You
will find him mornings in his Office,
just Off the grand staircase, making
up his books and records. but during
the rest of the day he is all over the
ship, now taking a look at the store
rooms far below TO see that groceries
and provisions are rightly served out
to the cooks, now inspecting the re-
frlgerators TO note the temperature
and again watching the butchers with
precise knowledge Of how meats shall
be cut and seeing that they are deliv-
cred to the cooks on time and in the
right quantities.
All these things he is responsible for.
But that is by no means all. He must
also keep minute record of all trans
actions Of this sort and must have a
watchful eye upon the passengers to
note that HIS lieutenants among the
men are giving them prompt and
cheerful service. He has a record OF
every passenger travelling with him
and all the details connected with his
journey. II you sailed with him last
year or twenty years ago he can refer
to his books and tell you the date Of
the voyage, its duration. your room
and seat and table and just what
the stewards served TO you.-Booklov-

The Way Villagers In the Orient En-
tcrtnin Passing Strangers.

The villagers who entertain the
stranger in their houses naturally
enough expect him to talk 70 them. for
thus only can he give them the return
they anticipate for their hospitality
As a general rule they will accept no
remuneration for the fooS-and shelter
they give, but they do expect payment
for the feed of the animals.
The conversation one has to carry on
with the host and the other villagers
who drop in to see and pay their re-
spects to the stranger Is entertaining
and even amusing as long as one is a
novice in the country, because it is
unsophisticated prattle, such as one
must have heard in Europe in the mid
die ages One unfailing topic is the
rotundity Of the world, the negative
side Of the question being always de-
Tended. They cannot believe that the
sun remains stationary, for why should
they disregard the evidence Of their
own eyes, which shows them that 1t
does move across the vault OF heaven?
They ask you how much tribute your
countrymen pay to their padishah
(whom we wrongly call sultan, whose
foot is upon the neck Of all nations, as
they firmly believe. They inquire mi
nutely into your business at home and
your reasons for travel in their coun.
try, etc. They handle with childlike
JOY and amazement your rifle and re
volver, your knife, pen, pencils, your
helmet and clothing. and the women
can never have enough of feeling and
fondling your socks. which are more
evenly and closely knit than their
backwoods homemade article.
One must submit TO an examination
Of this kind wherever one stops, often
several times q day. Finally it pals
on the traveller unless lie is gifted with
the patience Of Job. and from that mo-
ment he tries to avoid village hospital
ity. A further reason for such avoid
ance is the fact that the acceptance OF
the hospitality of villagers makes 1t
impossible for the traveller TO put into
durable form his road notes of the day
while matters are still fresh IN his
mind. For the scientific traveller or the
archaeOlogist this is OF the utmost mo-
ment. Now. among Turks writing in
the house of your entertainer would
simply be impolite and bo0rish re-
turn for the hospitality, but Arabs re-
gard the man who writes or draws as
a spy. and will not permit il at all.--
