byterian until the Church is lr5nounce
dead by THE NORTHERN PREsBYa
TERRAIN CHURCH 1906. Some very
significant events have occurred that de-
mands our notice. A telegram was sent
the Q, p Assembly announcing that
the Vote of the presbyteries in their
Church would not be declared then Is
required by the Law of their Church,
but be held open until the Shackles
were placed on the G p Church. Then
another disturbing element that forced
its way to the 'front.' was an eiloit
made to seperate the Race into differ
ent Synods. This was opposed by Rev
Russell Taylor a Negro Member OF the
Assembly and carried the applause, won
the fight And this matter was put ia
sOke for 1907, hoping that the Shackles
would be so securely fastened by that
time on the G p Church that no power
could undo it. After the declaration
of the Moderator that THE ASSEMB-
LY WAS ADJURNED SINE DIE,

just finished rechecking my book and
find that it was an error of mine in
advertising for sale the property of Mrs
Jane Cooke of the Sth Dist and Mr.. G.

It is because we see our estate differ
ing from that Of our fellows that we
are tempted to comparisons, and 1t IS
in the making Of these comparisons
that sense Of our sAsrows, like the
knowledge Of our Affections, Is first
born. How would we have known that
we were poor unless we had seen some
one else who was richer or that our
son was unsuccessful unless the son OF
somebody else were making great
mark In the world? Would our Little
children be unhappy with only one

trades the working hours were often
from 4 In the morning till 8 at night

had his own maison. The ground floor

The Tailoc Bird.

The brilliantly plumed birds Of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and If they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their enc
mics. Chattering monkeys and Dig
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by foes
on every side. But 1t takes sly mon
key or snake to get ahead Of the tailor
bird, q small East Indian singing bird.
She hides her nest'so skillfully that her
enemies cannot find it, no matter Aow
hard they try. This she does by using
her long, slender bill as needle. With
the tough fiber Of q parasitic plant
abundant in the tropics, as a thread
she sews a dead leaf taken from the
end Of g. slender and hanging branch,
and between these leaves she builds
her nests, where neither monkey nor
snake can approach, because the

Making Bread with Sea Water.

At one time sea water was used In
some English seaside places when max
ing bread. Even now villages along the
coast line Of France utilize It. Fresh
rain or spring water is only used for
the leaven, pure sea water being exclu-
sively employed for the making and
mixing Of the dough. By this method
no mineral or table salt requires to be
added, the natural salt water giving
the bread the necessary degree Of sa-
Unity. But, though sea water does ad-
mirably for breadmaking, when ap-
Piled to other culinary purposes the
result is a Hsagreeable failure. The
wheaton bread produced by 1t, how
ever, is excellent and Of great hygfenic
value. The chloride Of magnesium,
which imparts the acrid taste to sea
water, is decomposed In the heating
and therefore does not convey Its orig-
nal disagrecable taste to the bread,
while the common salt, Of course, per-
manently retains all its characteristic
saline properties. The mineral sub
stances left in the baked bread are con-
sidered to be Of the nature of very mild
regulating medicines.-London Mail.
