The Rev. Alexander Danskin, pub
Usher of the Michigan Presbyterian,
told OF the struggles and hardships
which he had surmounted to be able
to answer the roll call for the eight

that the seven biggest Presbyterian
papers In the country have a total
circulation OF only $4,000 copies. and

The Rev. w. M. Pocock, reporting
on church erection, spoke In place Of
the late chairman, the Rev. Ere White,
who died since the last synod, after
serving for rs years on the commit

Pastor Pocock declared that the
rush Of population from the country
to the cities had resulted In heavy
drain on the church erection fund, as
the ratio OF churches necessary In the
cities became greater, as the ground
upon which they are erected, higher
priced than, ~ the case OF country
churches. Applications for new
churches were per cent greater,
while the amounts asked were 10 per
cent greater than ever before. There
were 273 appropriations, averaging be-

sweeping away old.established. un.
progressive institutions, and supple.
menting energy, new lie and pro.
gress, made itself felt In the last few
minutes OF the session OF the Presby-

when the Rev. T.. III. Pence, OF the
Fort-st. church, after stating that he
had found much OF the business or
the synod to be q dreary grind, with
little good TO be obtained by the at.
tending clergymen, offered the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas. So much OF the bust.

Whereas, One OF the great lacks
within our ministry Is an inspira-

DR.. Pence. They have all been the

been very helpful to me. at least not
as helpful as they might be made.
There ought TO be 500 In attendance

made interesting as they should be.
We are lucky IL we get It's, We lis

The unexpected resolution called
forth a perfect storm OF discussion.
big majority of the ministers ex'
pressed their approval OF DR.. Fences
statement that toe synod should be
rejuvenated, but there was q gallant
handful who, basing their protest upon
the fact that the time-hopored rules
OF the synod would have TO be set
aside to appoint such a committee,
stod for the old order OF things.
The Rev. Sherman l.. Divine, pastor
OF the woodward-ave. church, host to
the synod, and member OF the pres

ton to the remarks OF DR.. Pence, stat
ing that the committee had done It's

One clergymen. who favored the
sense of the resolution, but still chung

GOOD USE FOR WASTE MILk
Skinned Article Mixed With Phos
phate of Lime Produces a Most
Efficient Phosphate.

A new and exceedingly profitable
use has been discovered for the waste
milk produced in such abundance by
all creameries. There are sections Of
the country where this waste is used
by the farmers who sell their cream
TO fatten pigs, but then again, there
are districts where the milk, thor.
oughly skinned and watery in char
acter, is allowed to drain away. 1t
has been found, however, that by mix
ing the milk with phosphate of lime
a most efficient phosphate is produced.
The phosphate of lime is placed in
a hollow heap on the floor, the waste
milk is run into the hollow, and a
handful of yeast is added. In course
of time the whole is turned and thor
oughly mixed after the fashion Of
mortar. After 1t has dried and is
broken up it is a most efficient fer
tilizer, containing about 1890 per
cent. Of phosphate and a little more
than 1 per cent. of nitrogen. Unlike
the manufacture of most phosphates,
this process is not attended by any of
the disagreeable smells and other
nuisances so closely associated with
the ordinary fertilizer factory.

A BODY IN STORE HE BOUGHT
eruesome Package Left In Closet Ono
Year by Former Owner ls
Finally Opened.

London.-A mummified human body,
apparently that of a boy about four
teen years of age, has been discov-
cred at Nottingham under astounding
circumstances.
About a year ago, Thomas Show
croft purchased small grocery in
Nottingham. The previous owner "a
woman) asked her to allow a parcel
in a cupboard to remain there for a
few days and begged her to take
care of 1t.
The woman did not return, but
nothing was done until a few days
ago, when Mr.. Showcroft decided to
satisfy his curiosity. Placing the par
eel on the hearthrug he united the
string by the light of a candle. and
was startled to find that it contained
a mummified body.
From an examination Of the body
It is surmised the boy died about
twenty years ago. The Nottingham
police are satisfied that the case does
not involve any crime.
