A Hint to Ministers.

A clergyman in neighboring
town had been much annoyed by the
way members of the congregation
had of looking around to take stock
of late corners. After enduring it
for some time he said on entering
the reading desk one Sunday:
Brethren, l regret to see that your
attention is called away from your
religious duties by your natural de-
sire to see who comes in behind you.
l propose henceforth to save you the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and hope that the SER
vices will then be allowed to pro-
ceed without interruption" He
then began: Dearly beloved" but
paused half way to interlopate "Mr.
Stubbins with his wife and daugh-
ter" Mr.. Stubbins looked rather
surprised, but the minister with per-
feet gravity, resumed his exhorta-
tation. Presently he again paused:
"Mr. Curtis and William Diggle." I"
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books.
The service continued in the most
orderly manner, the parson inter-
rupting himself every now and then
to name some newcomer. At last
he said still with the most perfect
gravity: Mrs. Symons In a new bon
net" In a moment he felt his mis-
take, but 1t was too late. Every
feminine head in the congregation
had turned around.

A Grand Innovation for Farmers.

1t is important to the readers of
this paper to know that the Division
of Zoology of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture contem-
plates establishing a number of Model
Orchards in this State (there will be
about five in each county,, the OBJ
ject being to direct, in each fruit
growing district, the care of an or
chard in an up-to-date manner, to
show the public how to obtain the
best results, especially in pest con-
troll.
Fruit growers or farmers who will
cooperate in this movement, by per-
mitting their orchards to be used for
the purpose, should write at once to
Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist
Harrisburg, Pa, for information on
the subject.
1t is not proposed to take an old
and totally neglected orchard and
bring about complete transforma-
tion, but to take under supervision
one that is in fair condition, and as
sist the owner with expert advice and
attention in regard to all matters
pertaining to the management of the
orchard and the suppression of pests.
1t Is believed that the value of the
example of one successful man in a
neighborhood is beyond computation.
Should the methods in his. orchard
prove to be the best, as shown by
indisputable returns of larger yields
and better products, 1t invariably
results in other persons adopting
the methods which have proved most
successful in that locality.
The owner of the orchard adopted
by the Division Of Zoology will be
asked to provide himself with a
comparatively inexpensive spraying
outfit, which the Division will help
him purchase at the lowest discount
price. The Division of Zoology will
outline plan for his orchard man
agement, and furnish, without
charge, all materials used for in
struction and demonstration pur-
poses, and also of fruit, planting
trees, cultivation, fertilization, and
such other practical work as may be
necessary to secure the best results.
The public will be invited to visit

HAZE NO FEAR OF LAW
atlantic City Saloons JVW Be Vide
Open TODAY.

Atlantic City, Sept. 11.-Unless there is some
change IN the last minute Atlantic City will be
wide open tomorrow and the saloons will be in
tull operation notwithstanding the bitter fight
that IS being made against them by the reform
ers It was the intention at first to remain
closed Tomorrow, but the leaders to-day in
conference decided that they wanted another
chance at the Sunday harvest" as they term it.
The immense crowd at the beach to-day was
responsible for this change OF programme and
rather than lose this chance the saIoonkeepers
viii open their places as usual. They argue that
next Sunday in all probability the crowd will
have thinned out, and their losses by remaining
closed then viii be comparatively light, but
from present indications there will be a record
crowd here tomorrow.
The saloon men declare that the orders Of
Mayor Stoy to the militia to remain within call
and 10 be prepared for service upon the sound
ing Of q signal bell in the City Hall tower has
no significance, and they explain these orders by
saying that Mayor Stoy merely issued them 10
the troops, believing that If an emergency arose
such as large fire or other disaster, the men
would be on hand to render aid. They deny
emphatically that the troops will be used to
keep the saloons closed tomorrow
The state detectives who were brought here
by Prosecutor Goldenberg are still here, and are
doing more or less work in keeping gambling
houses closed, especially in the negro section.

ocean, and that an attempt 70 get a sounding
was without success.
Nothing was seen at the pole of DR.. Cooks

the aid Of Esqulrnaus and dogs. Several pup
pies are also aboard the Roosevelt, which also
brought some Arctic hares and foxes An at
tempt was made TO bring five musk oxen and a
walrus back alive. but the animals were 50
ugly that they had to be killed.
The Roosevelt is in excellent condition. There
is not leak anywhere, and the propeller and
rudder are in good shape The boilers and en-
gine also are in good condition. and the steamer
can easily make a speed OF seven knots The
only damage was the rubbing of paint off the
sides by contact with the ice.
