Shifting of Churches.

Division is not a bad thing in itself
All living things grow by division
Churches, live churches, follow the
same law, but the simple division of the
cell into two equal, similar and inde-
pendent cells is confined to the lowest
branch Of the animal and vegetable
kingdoms. 1t is in church history as
it is in natural history. When we find
on opposite sides Of the road two little
white churches exactly alike, except
that the steeple is on the north end
Of one and on the south end Of the
other we know it belongs to the prOto-
zOan period of ecclesiastical develop
ment. We have outgrOwn the stage
Of the multiplication Of churches by the
primitive processes of splitting, seces-
sion and recession. Even in Scotland,
where the process was formerly most
active until a church was reduced to
"me and Sandy" with doubts as to
the latter's orthodoxy the tide has
turned and the churches are reunit-
ing.-Century.

value Of the weather Man.


In spite Of the standing jokes about
the weather man it is probable that for
every dollar spent on the weather
bureau ten arRa saved. At the
time of the Mississippi flood Of 1897
S15OOO,OO0 worth of live stock and
other property were saved as a result
OF warnings issued a week ahead. Sig
nails displayed for a single hurricane
have detained in port vessels valued,
with their cargoes, at S20,OOOOOO. The
West Indian stations, established in
1898, inform us Of hurricanes as soon
as they begin. The course of the hur-
Ficane that caused the Galveston food
was charted for a week before it struck
our shores-for hurricanes move slow
ly. Eighty-five per cent Of the fore
casts now come true, and by the aid
of rural free delivery 25,OO0,OO0 fore
cast cards were distributed last year
to farmers, many of whom could not
nave had them five years ago.

The Green Rose.

1 am bound to say that this rose
meets with very little admiration. The
general verdict is, More curious than
beautiful" But l like the rose and
even admire it, and to bOtanists it is
extremely valuable, because it is one
cf the best proofs we have that all
parts of a plant above the root are
notifications Of the same thing, and
in the green rose every part may be
called a leaf. 1t is a variety of the
common China rose, came to England
about 1885 and is quite constant. 1t
also gives a strong support to the view
held by many great botanists that all
flowers were originally green, and that
the colOrs in flowers are analogous to
ahe autumn tints of leaves, and in the
green rose the flowers generally put on
a reddish tint when they begin to fade.
in this view the green rose, as we now
have It, is a reversiOn to an older state
Of the rose, or it may be a continuance
Of an undeveloped rOse.-CanOn Ella

A Tinv naval Cottnre.

The German empress usually spends
her summers at Kadinen, on the north
east coast Of Prussia. Kadinen is
such a small village that its railway
station is simply a waiting room.
Tickets have to be bought on the train.
The royal residence is a plain two
story cottage, so small that the en-
peror, who prefers to spend his sum-
mers on his yacht, never remains more
than a few hours. From the park adj
joining the house one gets fine views
OF the Danzieger bay. One of the
kaiser's Potsdam gardeners takes care
Of the flower garden, the empress ia

REFoRMAToRY METHODS.
new Ideas Applied with Success BY
New York Juvenile Asylum.

new Ideas Applied with Success BY
New York Juvenile Asylum.
New methods of reforming young
street arabs who have committed some
petty Offense and are removed by the
courts from their evil surroundings un-
til they can recover their equilibrium,
as it were. are being applied with great
success by the New York Juvenile asy-
lum in the model establishment at
DObbs Ferry on the Hudson, into which
it moved early in the summer. Sym
pathy and not restraint is the theory
on which discipline is based. and yet
the discipline Of the institution has in
no way suffered There is no physical
barrier whatever to prevent the young
sters from leaving the asylum grounds.
When the asylum first moved from
the old buildings from which 1t was
driven by the growth of the city, where
escape was not so easy, the temptation
proved too great for a few of the 300
youngsters, and twelve have ventured
out into the great world again without
permission. Two were promptly re-
turned by their parents, and another
was found not far away a day or two
after he vanished, very hungry and
woebegone. He soon discovered that
somehow he never got a chance to re-
count his adventure to the admiring
audience he had looked forward to, and
his teachers saw to it that he appeared
to his comrades as nothing more en-
viable than a very foolish yOungster.
This is an example Of the modern
method of dealing with street urchins
who need to learn new ways Of life,
for many of the asylum's charges are
sent to it by the police courts, while
nearly all Of them come from the un-
wholesome surroundings Of the New
York slums. In fact, the 300 boys
whose number will be increased as
soon as more Of the cottages they oc-
cupy as living quarters instead Of old
fashioned dOrmitOries are completed
might easily be mistaken for pupils of
a private boarding school were it not
for their plain, well worn uniforms
and heavy institutional" shoes.
Credit marks are given for good be-
haviOr in schOOlrOOm, shop and home,
and there are other credits for neat
ness and cleanliness. Each credit rep
resents 1 mill, and boy can earn
cent day without unreasonable strain
upon his mischief loving nature. The
money thus earned can be used for any
Legitimate purpose whenever the small
capitalist makes written application
for it; but, whether he spends it or not.
his record shows he has earned 1t. and
ordinarily no ward committed to the
asylum for an offense is released be-
fore he has earned $3.50 by good be-
haviOT.

BEeeARs IN INDIA.
They Are Fast Disappearing - Only
About Five Million Left.


The beggar nuisance is very com
mon one in India, and the endeavors Of
the police in the large cities to put it
down have met with only a limited
measure of success. This is no doubt
due to the fact that Indian opinion is
remarkably tolerant toward sturdy beg
gars, especially if they wear the guise
of religion. But there is reason to be-
lieve that a wholesome change is COM
ing over the public sentiment in this
as in so many other matters. There
were about 100000 beggars in the
country at the time of the last census,
and nearly One-fifth of the number was
classed as religious mendicants. The
number. large as it is, represented de-
crease of about Z per cent from that
at the previous census. and the decline
has been attributed in part to the COM
paratively heavy mortality among them
during the famine years. But, says the
report, lit is also partly attributable
to the spread of education and the con-
seduent weaker hold which the so call
ed ascetics have on the imagination OF
the people," it being much less easy
than it was formerly for the members
of the various begging communities TO
unloose the purse strings of the people.
There is. happily reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the ed
ucateI classes is filtering down to the
lower levels. This evil is not confined
to one particular community or religion.
1t is as rampant among the MOhammed-
ans as among the HindOos. The Star
Jadid. an ably conducted vernacular
paper, published in upper India, dealing
with questions of social reform among
Mohammedans, has been forcibly call
ing the attention of its coreligiOnists
to the necessity of a reform in their no
tions of charity. Our contemporary
shows by a reference to the Police Ga
zette that the number of MOhammedan
beggars under surveillance has been
rising every week. cite instances from
the records of the criminal courts TO
prove that some of the men who pass
for religious teachers have been con-
victed on charges of fraud and immOr-
ality committed on the property and
persons of men and women who had
been misled by their religious appear
ance.-Times of India.

! The Jews and the Cruciaxion.

= The Jews and the CructhxtOns
The cruel effects of bigOtry and error
as nurtured in the Christian Sabbath
school and theological seminaries, in
which the malicious lie of history that
the Jews crucified Jesus of Nazareth is
taught, have been again demonstrated
in a most horrible form in the city of
Detroit.
That basest lie Of history, sanctified
fly the Christian church through twen-
ty centuries, that the Jew is a deicide,
has been responsible for more than one
crime, Of which this latest is by no
means the least. Is 1t not time, then,
that Christian preachers and teachers
were awake to the immortality Of per
petuating a falsehOOd out of which has
grown and can grow nothing but hate,
inhumanity and crime?-American Is

pnntnI Gard Irnnx.

The following postal card story is
fold in the British Weekly: The author
of it says that while purchasing post
cards in a city shop Il selected, among
others, some excellent photographs of
Dr Clifford and Pastor Thomas Spur
geon. They were marked twopenee
each. but the shop assistant who made
out the bill charged only a penny. She
glanced at them again as l pointed
out the original price and then replied
very decidedly, No. madam; all the
actors and actresses are reduced to
penny" Is this another proof Of the
intimate association Of church and
stage? inquiries the London Chronicle.

II. ". Kelly, Booster
and Boomer

Harry w. Kelly returned this after
noon from a business trip to Albu-
querque. The following extracts are
taken from an interview with the
gentleman published in the Aibuquer-
que Citizen:
Mr.. Kelly is at the head Of one Of
the largest wholesale grocery insti-
tutions in the southwest and is quite
thoroughly conversant on most every
subject which has anything to do
with the prosperity Of the country.
He is also at the head Of one of the
largest wool securing institutions Of
New Mexico.
Mr.. Kelly says that the country
generally is very prosperous. The
wool prospects are better, the lamb
prospects are fine and the sheep pros
poets are excellent There is only one
part of the territory where the sheep
men are not prosperous, and that is
the northeast country. The rains were
late last fall and the frosts we're
early, killing the grass, and the win
ter's loss to sheep will average from
10 to 20 per cent

The Downfall Of
a Jiu Jitsu Man

ssf} 'e-ffg
The celebrated science Of jiu jitsu
which the wiry Jap has made famous
and which has been quite the fad In
America lately. has scored failure in
Albuquerque, declares the Journal.
There is well known young insur-
ance man in this city who has been
suffering from the jiu jitsu germ for
some time past. He became fascinat-
ed with the tales Of the ease with
which the chaser Of the Russ tickles
his enemy in the fifth rib and imme.
diately puts him down and out and
applying to the proper authorities he
took up the study Of the science which
is supposed to make the burliest
prize fighter and the best developed
blacksmith helpless in the hands Of
the school boy who has mastered the
uncanny art Of jiu jitsu. After care.
full study and practice before look
ing glass and elsewhere the admirer
Of the Jap figured out that he had II
down fine and looked around for a
suitable subject on whom to demon
strate to the startled public the fact
that the brawny bruiser who uses his
vulgar fists Ia obsolete
In his confidence that he was able
to tackle anything Mr.. Jiu Jitsu select
ed Antonio Apache, the powerful full
blooded Indian college graduate, who
has been for some years employed by
the Harvey system. Antonio has read
something Of the rib tickling system,
but didn't take much stock in 1t. He
was quite willing to act as subject for
the expert on promise that he wouldn't {
hurt him, and bout was arranged
before select audience. With few
awe-inspiring passes the expert start
ed to work on Antonio. The breath
less audience expected to see the smil-
ing Apache throw up the sponge at
once. But something seemed to be
wrong. The puzzled expert was una
bic to even wobble Antonio. He SEEM
ed as firmly planted on the ground as
IL he had grown there, and his oppo-
nent tried tickling another rib. Still
nothing doing. Antonio watched the
process with grin until it got en-
barrassing for the expert and he quit.
He hasn't mentioned jiu jitsu for sew
eral days and it's safe wager that
when he attempts another public dem
onstration 1t will be on some other
subject.
