YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

/ The afternoon session of the Anglican
lConvocation was largely attended by
those whose work lies along the lines
! of child-training and Sunday School
work, the several interesting papers
read dealing with this important sub
/ ject The session was opened with
prayer by the Bishop and by the sing
| ing of an inspiring hymn.
| The first paper read, How can we
best teach the children reverence"
was contributed by Rev John osborne.
Reverence is best taught by example,
said the speaker, and the class teacher
should by his or her demeanor impress
upon the children the sanctity of the
church. of the Bible and of the name
of the Deity. The Bible should be
handled with reverence in the home
and not treated as an ordinary book.
He had in view the presentation of an
illustrated Bible to every mother in his
parish and he was going to ask each
one to read it and show it to their
children at least once every week.
The reading of this paper was fol-
lowed by a discussion in which Canon
AulC anu MIS- H. INeSIoI ICA lOOh
part, the former relating the success
attending the bringing of the children
of his classes into the church, where
the sanctity of the building promoted
and taught them reverence.
Miss Perle Wills presented a number
of excellent reasons why Sunday School
teachers should call on their pupils and
study their characters and traits, thus
fitting themselves to better guide and
instruct them.
The preparation of candidates for
confirmation was a topic which led to
a lengthy discussion, led by Canon Ault
and participated in by Rev. F. F'itz and
Canon Macintosh. The concensus of
opinion was that three months was the
minimum time in which candidates
could be prepared for this solemn obli-
CATION, the age of the candidate to de-
pend upon circumstances.
The educa ton of the children into
giving could be best taught by the
education of the adult along the same
lines, said Mr.. Henry B. Restarick,
who discussed the question of tithing
in her paper. The various systems OF
contributing to the church fund were
discussed and the teaching of the little
ones to give freely and to make sacri-
fees in their gifts encouraged
The giving of Christmas entertain
ments and the necessity Of Introducing
into the program more or less of a
religious nature was treated by Rev.
Kong Yin let. who advocated the
elimination of the Santa Claus idea
He could see no reason why Christians
should continue to mislead their chill
dren. He agreed with the Christian
Scientist who said that Santa Claus
was the greatest lie of the age.
Deaconess Sands outlined a plan
whereby competent teachers could be
obtained for Sunday School work For
this work the teachers should undergo
something of the same course of pre-

In a minute or two he asked for a
second cup of coffee. "These are such

criticism l can make" He finished the
steak. I'm really ashamed" he said,
"but l simply must have another cup of

His gratified wife turned away to get
it. What are you doing under the

He picked up his hat, coat, bag and
umbrella and his wife accompanied him
to the front door.
Suddenly the hall clock struck.
Got to rum" gasped Wipperdon.
"Good-by. dearest" He dashed out,
not taking time to put on his coat.
Half an hour later Bertha said:
"What in the name of-what did you
put into these biscuit. ma'am?" She
shifted at it. "Sody!" she exclaimed,

Mrs. Wipperdon smelled. why,

dismay and stood wondering how she
could get it to him. Half mechanically
she opened it, and there, mixed up with

HIS EARLY
BREAKFAST.
YOUNG MRS. WIPPERDoN MAKES
BISCUITS.

1t was not to be expected that the
cook would get up at $50 in the morn
ing just because Wipperdon had to
catch an early train out of town. Mrs.
Wipperdon was not particularly anxious
to have her do SO. She had a surprise
in store for her husband. She was al
was surprising him. The three months
that they had been married had not re-
vealed to him all her wonderful quail
tiles. He often remarked upon that fact.
This particular morning, when the
alarm clock jerked Wipperdon out of
bed, he found a note on his shaving mir
ror:
Come down into the kitchen when
you are dressed. ETHEL"
Wipperdon looked at the clock. 1t
was half an hour earlier than the time
he had set. He opened the door. A
fragrant odor of coffee smote his nos
trils. Hal" he said. That means
breakfast, bless her!"
He made his toilet and took his suit
case in hand and went downstairs. At
the hat rack he stopped, smiling to him
self, put on his hat and coat and took
his umbrella from the rack. Thus
equipped, he made his way to the kitch-
en-. opened the door and started back
with a splendidly executed air of sur
prise.
For the kitchen table was spread with
I snowy cloth and set for breakfast for
me. The coffee pot was on the range
ind a beefsteak was suffering on the
b%roiler, while Mrs. Wipperdon. girt with
a Bingham apron, flushed and smiling,
turned to him.
We'll. if I'm not in luck!" said WHIP
perdon. How good that coffee smells!
But you've got to eat with me-"
Il will not" c~ontradicted the young
woman. I'm just waitress. Now, let
me have my way, dear; I'd much
rather"
When she spoke like that she gen.
orally had her way. Wipperdon sat
down and the steak and the potatoes and
coffee were set before him. Then Mrs.
Wipperdon opened the oven door and
whisked out a small pan of smoking hot
biscuits.
"Biscuits!" shouted Wipperdon, de-
lightedly. why, just look at 'em!"
They do look nice, don't they?" she
said.
They're splendid" agreed Wiper
don, taking one and breaking it open.
Light as a feather and-hello!"
What is it, dear?"
They're hot"
He buttered a biscuit and bit into it.
For a moment he masticated and then
stopped abruptly.
"Dee-licious!" he said in response to
her inquiring look. Yes, I'll take some
He attacked the steak with vigor and
then asked for a glass of water. When
Mrs. Wipperdon set it down he was

Military Diet Experiments.

Russian army doctor attached to the
I'd Turkestan Rifle Battalion has been MAX
ing some interesting experiments in the
matter OF nourishing soldiers. DR.. Cyrillus
Ioljago administered to ten r1en for ten
days malt coffee their sole beverage
with the result that their weight increased
during the time to the extent OF 1872
grammes a man. A like experiment was
made by giving tea to the same number of
men of similar constitution AMI for the
same number of days, and in their case the
DOCTOR certified a decrease of $40 grammes.
He then put the twenty men together back
on tea, and those whose weigh. had been
SO signally increased by the malt coffee
had within ten days lost $50 yramnies
head. The doctor noW states whacsis very
important to note namely, that his expert
nents have led him to believe that it Is not
merely the nourishing attributes OF the
plalt coffee which mark this increase but
that Its effect is mainly to increase the ac-
ton of the digestive organs, enabling them
To draw from all other food taken the ut

Still Harvest Much Ice.
Portland iMe.), Times

From the Portland (Me.), Times
L. c. Ballard of Gardiner, manager for
Maine of the American Ice Company, is Of
the opinion that there will be more Ice cut
in this state this winter than for ten years
or more. This means from 100000 to 100000
tons, one-eighth of this to be secured from
the Penobscot and the other seven-eighths
from the Kennebec, with a small quantity
of pond Ice from Boothbay.
AS artificial refrigeration has now come
so largely into play Maine will probably
never cut SO much ice as she once did in
the palmy days of the industry, and the
year. although it will be a long Time so
thinks Mr.. Ballard. before Maine Ice will
be wholly superseded by the new-fangled
product. In his opinion nothing quite equals
the Maine Ice and he believes 1t will con-
tinue to be shipped in varying quantities for
many years to come. There Is something
about the clearnesS of the Kennehe3 ice In
particular that makes 1t much sought and
often called for in the cities.
Mr.. Ballard said:
I'VE are much troubled on the Penobscot
with anchor ice. There are only about six
and a half miles of the river available on
the Penobscot for prime quality OF Ice,
while on the Kennebec there twenty
three miles from Augusta to swans Island
from which 5000 600 tons could be taken, II
ne cessary On the Hudson in favorable
year there are seventy miles OF surface be-
low Albany that can be USED, and in busy

they house nearly 100000 tons, but II

Difference in Englishrnen.
From the London Chronicle.


It Is rather curious that in this little
island, after thousand years and more
of meeting and interbreeding, we have not
really mixed. The racial traits are still
there, and Inverness Is further from Liam
fyllin than New York is from San Fran
cisco. In spite of railway communica lions
and swift sea transit the Lancashire coll
ler is unintelhgible to the west-end Lon
dener, and the Welshman-a few hours
away-is part of another nation, speaks an.
other language, and can do everything, as
Mr. Howels has observed, but stand SIX
feet in his stockings.
We retain OFF racial projudices too, and,
unless some alien nation threatens our in
suarity, We glover at each other across
the little fences of our respective patches.
In spite of Mr. Barrie and Wee Mac
Greegor'' we hold-south of the Iorder-
that the surgical operation is still neces-
sary to make Scotsman see Joke. we
are quite convinced-this side of Monmouth
and Shrewsbury--that all Welshmen are
liars, forgetting that their native tongue
lends itself to poetry rather than to accu-
rate statistics And Welsh and Scotch have
similar decisions about ourselves in spite
of excellent railway services, the distribu-
ton of books, and the interchange of news
papers. No wonder we have only correct
relations with a country SO far removed
as Germany

We recognize already In our poor-law

lated Is right to have this relief given
