CHURCH UNION IN CANADA
Methodist, Congregational and Pres
byterian Churches Agree on Basis
Of Organic Union.

The movement for the organic union
of the Methodist, Congregational and
Presbyterian churches Of Canada has
come to a new stage OF negotiation
with the most auspicious outlook, re-
ports the Interior. The phase Of the
matte just passed through was un-
doubtedly the most critical OF all. and
the fact that no forbidding obstacle
has SO far developed. encourages the
liveliest hope Of the consummation OF
the union-the most radical and re-
markable coalition Of churches that
has been proposed since the reforma-
ton brought in the era of denomina-
tiOnal divisions. One year ago the
joint committees OF the three churches
met and determined that the first
necessary step was systematic search
for basis Of doctrine and policy ac-
ceptable to all three parties. Five sub
committees were named which spent
full year of study on various phases
Of this problem. The main committees
assembled again at Toronto at the
holiday season. and heard reports
from these conferees. Thereup0n the
following motion was unanimously
adopted: This joint committee re-
joices 10 find the substantial unity ex-
isting among the negotiating churches.
and feels encouraged in continuing fur
ther negotiations for union" The
union was thus for the first time off,
ciaIly pronounced feasible.

RAISING GARDEN HERBS.
This Is Practical Occupation oper
to Woman Thrown on Her
Own Resources.

Among the practical occupations
open to women that are thrown upon
their own resources without previous
training in any sort of business is that
OF raising garden herbs.
There has never been a sufilciency Of
seasoning herbs to be had at any mar
ket; parsley. thyme. sweet marjoram.

| by those who know their value in the
proper cooking OF savory dishes. Their
raising is neither dificult nor expen-
sive. A small piece OF ground viii sup
ply any large private market establish
ment or green grocer. and It is work
that even delicate woman can under
take.
But she must, first of all, instruct
herself In the nature of the soil need
ed. the amount of sunshine, water and
general habits of the things she Is
going to raise. To do this it is only
necessary for her to visit any good IL
brary and study books on the subject,
making notes and really learning. just
as If she were at school.
Then she must study how to get the
very best plants for her purpose: all
florists and agriculturists are glad to
send catalogues for the asking. and,
while the gorgeous cuts exaggerate the
fecundity and appearance OF their
wares. such catalogues are help.
Once she knows the right soil to pre-
pare. the rest is easy II she has no
boy neighbor to call upon to measure
and define the various beds, she can
simply tie stout cords TO sticks stuck
in the ground 10 keep one variety from

essential to success, most fixtures De~
ing due to the caking OF imperfectly
prepared ground that either carries on
the water that is applied or allows 1t
to stand without penetrating the earth
to reach the roots Of thirsty plants.
Take the fragrant garden mint as a
very fair example of an herb that Is
well worth cultivating. have seen

over 12-foot square Of ground. and its
healthy sprigs are always in demand.
The woman who wills TO do so can
find a market for her mint the year

freeze Sweet marjoram grows fast
also. as do all these seasoning herbs,
and needs but little care when once
started. Curly parsley makes lovely
garnishing for dish OF croquettes or
for any sort Of broiled meats or fsh.
and never can there be too much

II to these be added chiyes and len
tils. there are always purchasers for
these greens that make such delicious
spring salads. But this business must
be properly attended to If there is to be
a livelihood in It; like everything
else in this world. ii amounts to moth
ing without a certain amount OF care
and trouble. IL there is a sudden bliz-
zard the plants must be protected: II
the midsummer sun is too hot. some
sort of shade must be evolved. and so

tions that are necessities to success

| To most persons the skin represents
simply the organ Of touch and because
| it is customary to keep nearly all Of its
surface concealed, It's relation to the
welfare of the body Is overlooked. 1t
has, however, most important functions,
such as the casting out Of waste mat
ter and the maintenance Of an even
body temperature, disregard Of which
may lead to serious disturbances Of
health.
cal purposes, the skin Is an important
influence for or against personal ap-
pearance, and its proper care Is there
fore worthy Of consideration from this
point Of view alone.
Cleanliness is the greatest essential
in the care Of the skin. For the cleans
ing bath, water as hot as can be borne
Is best, and a good soap should be free
ly applied with moderately stiff bath
brush. If the water is at all hard it Is
well to soften it by the addition Of a
little ammonia or boraX. A quick
sponging of the entire body with cold
water should follow, in order to cause
the pores relaxed by the heat to con-
tract and the drying should be accom-
plished by brisk rubbing with a coarse
towel
Although the habitual use Of hot wa
ter on the face Is sometimes condemn
ed on the ground that 1t tends to favor
the relaxation Of the skin and pro-
duces wrinkles there Is no danger OF
this If the washing be concluded with
cold water.
The sponge is thing to be avoided,
as 1t is difficult to keep clean, and
forms a beautiful lurklng-place for
germs. One wash-cloth should be kept
for the face alone, and this should be
boiled frequently.
At night 1t is n good plan to rub a
little pure cod-cream into the skin OF
the face and then wipe it off with a
piece Of soft linen. 1t Is surprising
how black the latter will appear when
the operation is finished. Cold-cream
and talcum powder and some Of the
cosmetics are safe and useful but
other cosmetics do more harm than
good.
The development Of wrinkles can be
retarded, and If present they may be
lessened by gentle massage with the
finger tips anonted with cold-cream. A
good general rule Is to let the drec-
ton Of the rubbing be upward and out
ward.
Above all, 1t should be remembered
that cleanliness. exercise, fresh air, sim
pie food and attention to the digestion
are the most important considerations
In the care OF the skin.-Youth's Com
DaniOn.

INDIAN LIFE IN BRAZIL.

Tribes Still Living in "StOne Age"
Retaining Customs of the Incas.
Interesting particulars are published
in the English newspapers Of the re
cent expedition of Baron Erland Nor
denskjold among various Indian tribes
in tributaries of the Amazon, in prac-
ticaly unknown districts. Among
them were the Yamiacas, Guarayos,
and Atsapuacas. who, until lately,
were living in the "stone age
The two last mentioned, in the main,
still retained the original customs. No
white man had ever previously visited
the Atsapuacas, but they We're in pos
session of tolls, etc, which they had
obtained from the ''palefaces' through
other tribes. Though regarded as hos
tile, the explorers We're very well re-
ceived by the sayages, who are no.
mads, and whose principal pursuits
are pastoral. Unfortunately, the eX-
petition was unable to get into contact
with a fourth tribe.
The explorers marched through
lItil tcliltoiS, anu Ntic
watched by the people, who did not
molest, but would not have any deal
ings with them. OF the smaller savage
tribes that live in the primeval forests
at the base Of the Andes, it was found
that where they had been humanely
treated by the whites they We're very
peaceable. Baron Nordenskjold got on
such friendly terms with the Atsapua-
cas- that they offered him Tamutsi, the
belle of the tribe, If he would settle
down as an Atsapuaca indian for the
rest of his life.
He says that the Christian partly
civilized Indans-the Quichuas and
Aymaras-living round Lake Titicaca
and in the fels Of the Andes are an
interesting study for the ethnologist,
as they have retained many customs
unaltered, or but slightly modified,
since the time Of the Incas. Thus
they worship Christ and the Virgin
Mary by dances, in which the sun Is
used as the symbol for Christ and the
moon for the Virgin Mary, mixing the
symbols of their old religion with the
Christian faith.
