Holy Days.

DR.. Hale and the late Bishop Hun
tington of New York were fast friends.
The latter had been a Unitarian and
his shift caused a sensation. The
Episcopalians have saints assigned to
the various days in the year. When
an Episcopalian minister writes a let
ter on any day for which there is
saint, he always writes the name of
the saint at the close of the letter in
stead of the date. Bishop Huntington
learned all these things quickly, and
began to practise them at once. The
first time he had occasion to write to
his old friend, Dr. Hale, after joining
the church, he placed "St. Michaels
Day" after his signature. A reply
from the doctor came, and after his
name he had written in full, round
hand, Wash day."-Christian Regis

The Duty Of Rest and PIav.

Rest is just as much necessity OF
life as Work is. In the face of the
popular theory which supposes that
work In itself is respectable unless il
is proved to be wrong and that rest
in itself Is suspicious--that IL must
prove itself to be right; in the face of
this popular theory, which is the the.
ory of the spelling books, of careless
talk and unframed consciences, |
must remind you that Work and
Rest have each its own place, and
that neither must step beyond that
place. In its right place and proper.
ton Rest is as dignified, as creditable.

How Long Used Soil
Gains in Productive Power.

A very interesting editorial appears
in the last number Of Bradstreet's. 1t
is devoted to a consideration of farm
ing operations in this and other coun-
tries, especially with reference to the
maintenance of soil fertility, and call
ing attention to how much more sue
cessfuI the farmers of the old world
have been than those of the new not
only in treating the soil in such a way
as to continue its productive capacity
but even to increase that capacity 10
very marked degree.
The comparison is particularly
valuable in that it is a striking con-
tradiction Of the theory that land
necessarily becomes exhausted in the
course of time and must be aban-
dOned. For these farm lands of
Europe have been under cultivation
no doubt, many, many years longer
than those OF America and yet con-
tinue to advance in fertility and in
value. The Bradstreet article is
worth studying and The Journal. IN
reproducing it, trusts its readers will
give it careful attention. The open
ing paragraph says:
One hears a great deal these days
about soil exhaustion, but 1t Is signifs
cant that some of the old world coun-
tries, where the land has been titled
for centuries, have little or no com
plant to make on that score. In an
other column we suggest that oUr
farmers have taken much from the
soil without returning essential life
giving properties to it. Things must
be done differently oversee There
the good old soil continues to increase
its tribute to mans efforts. Before
proceeding further, let US take a
glance at some figures showing the
average yields in bushels per acre OF
wheat, oats and barley during the two
separate decades, 1888 to 1897 and
1898 ia 1907.
Then follows a statistical table
comparing the two decades 1S9S-1S97
and 1S9S-19O7. and covering the pro-
ductiOn of wheat, oats and barley il
this country, Russia, Germany, Austria
Hungary, France and the United
Kingdom. The article then goes OF
to say:
The first obvious feature indicated
by the above is that yields show al
almost general increase over the de-
eade OF 1888 to 1897. Secondly, we
see that Germany has within a ten
year period increased its yield Of
wheat per acre % per cent, while Its
growth Of oats has been advanced q
per cent. per acre. France has also
done quite well, its yield of wheat
per acre rising IS per cent. in the ie-
cade under review, though there has
