ness has come upon the streets of
the city at night. The Rev. L. B.
Bates, ID. d., father of Ex-Governor
Bates, says that he has never seen
anything like this movement in the
last thirty years. At one Of the
meetings in Cambridge, a suburb of
Boston. the Mayor presided, and said
that he had spoken to a policeman,
who declared that the effect of the
revival was wonderfully lessening
the work of the policemen.
THE crowds which flock to the
meetings remind me of the scenes in
Swansea during the Welsh revival four
years ago. 1t is estimated that fully
$4,000 people attended the meetings
nightly; while 10000 were present on
Sunday, altho the regular services
were continued in most of the
churches. ..
ITO me no feature of the move.
ment is more impressive than to see
5000 people, over half of them men,
pack fremont Temple at noon daily
to get a touch of the revival spirit.
Yesterday in spite of the extreme
cold hundreds stood outside the doors
hoping by some possibility to gain
admission. The throngs are so great
that two extra meetings downtown
are held daily, one in the Park Street
Congregational Church and the other
in the historic Faneuil Hail."
The singing of gospel hymns forms
one of the chief features of the
awakening, it is said Revival hymns
have been published in the newspap-
ers and people are heard singing on
the street. About half the time at
the meetings is given to Mr.. Alexander
who leads the singing He is describ-
ed as "a young man of the trimmest
appearance and the most alert bearing.
He is very bald, but his face is very
fresh. He has the most winsone smile
imaginable" The Christian Endeavor
world (boston) tells how Mr.. Alex
ander caught his crowd" using
somewhat dramatic method of pres
entation. Thus:
''The usual rather slow start in
the singing, with the usual preponder-
ance of female voices.

sweetness) Thank you ladies!

Everywhere throughout the city
of Boston, in homes, in factories,
in stores, end even in news
paper offices, the revival 10 the chief
topic of conversation. This statement
IS made by Mr.. George T. b. Davis
in an article in The Examiner New
York; recounting the features OF
the present religious interest in
Boston and its nefghborhood. The
article Gin no respect overstates the
situation certifies the general chair
man and the chairman Of the press
committee. The city is "in the
midst of what is in many respects
the greatest revival New England has
ever known" DR.. Conrad, pastor of
the famous Park Street Congregation
alist Church, adds Before we get
through we will see, firmly believe,
one CT the greatest revivals America
has ever known" Mr.. Davis gives
these facts:
The newspapers are devoting page
after page to the spread of the
awakening. To-day the most conser-
vativo morning paper in Boston
deyotes seven columns TO the revival,
another paper devotes most of three
pages to the movement. Yesterday
a reporter told me that for two
hours after he reached the office he
did no work, but simply talked to
the other reporters about the revival,
Every one is amazed at the manner
in which the power of God has fallen
upon the city.
THE movement is under the leader
ship of DIR. j. Wilbur Chapman and
Mr.. Charles NJ. Alexander, assisted
by about sixty evangelists, ministers,
and Gospel singers. Practically all
the evangelical churches in Greater
Boston have united in an effort to
win the lost of the city to a knowledge
of Christ. Before the arrival of the
evangelists there had been long and
earnest preparation and a great
volume of prayer. The revival fires
were already kindled, and only await
ed the arrival of the evangelists TO
burst into flame, ..
"A well-known religious editor, who
has been in the ministry for nearly
fifty years, told me he had never be-

the over of God. He mentioned the

Protection for Apes.

A scheme is being arranged for
the protection of the manltke apes
In the German colonies or equatorial
Africa. 1t is proposed in the place
that the shooting of these creatures
should be strictly forbidden and
steps taken for their protection. In
connection with this It is proposed
to establish In the Cameroons a spe-
cial reserve for the fauna OF the
equatorial forest generally. This re-
serve would include a geological
tropical station, with gardens at
tached, in which attention would be
specially directed to the, protection
and rearing Of the anthropoid apes
and other denizens of the forest
zone, The scheme would likewise
include the study of the fresh water
fauna Of the tropics generally as
well as the Investigation and cure Of
tropical diseases. The establish
ment Of a marine geological station
In East Africa and (perhaps NOV
able) fresh water station on the
great lakes likewise forms a part of
the project.

Tested with rabbits-a most destrue-
tive and multitudinous pest. Not
long ago a man invented the follow
ing plan:
You go out into the field from

You saw down tree, and on the
slant Of the stump you paint a black
spot. Then you keep very quiet,
so that the rabbits viii come back
from their burrows and feed as usu-
al. ti.,
When a large enough number has
collected. you clap your hands
sharply.
The effect win be electric. The
rabbits will jump in haste for their
burrows. At least one is sure to
mistake tho black spot for his hole
and make for It. Invariably he Will
dash his brsins out This process,
repeated often enough. is warranted
to exterminate the rabbit forever.
The reports do not say whether
there are any rabbits left in Aus

The Revenge OF the Beaver.

At the reservoir at Saddleback
Pond recently at Rangely, Me-, beav-
ers' work in dam construction was
found to interfere with the water
supply from Saddleback stream.
These busy engineers had construct
ed a tight dam which had retained
considerable of the supply Of the
mountain reservoir. and workmen
each day tore out their work only
to find It rebuilt on their next visit.
Good sized tree sections had been
hauled in and placed in the dam
by the beavers. After several de-
structions Of the beavers dams there
was again found to be stoppage in
the supply of water through the
main pipes. The dam had not been
rebuilt, but on close investigation II
was found that these cunning engi-
neers in revenge apparently had
built a dense screen across the
strainer. which had prevented the
flow of water through the main pipe.

In these troublous times Of revela-

on the part Of the WoTuan's Home
Companion to confide to the world
one secret which palpitates with
precious possibilities. Certainly no
less may be said of a recipe for
Philadelphia scrapple. Here it is.
Boil three or four pounds of fresh
pork quite fat) until very tender,
then take out the meat, and season
the water in which It was boiled,
and thicken 1t with yellow corn meal,
as thick as for hasty pudding, and
let it cook long time to cook the
meat thoroughly.
Chop the meat tolerably fine, sea-
son well, and add it to the mush.
When 1t is cooked put 1t into square
bread tins to cool; when cold, cut in
slices, and fry in a spider until
brown. 1t should not require any
fat for frying.
