QUEER COMBINATIONS OF

A Preacher Barber Believes and Prae
tees.

That cleanliness is next To godli-
ness is a little sentiment that has
been taken to heart literally as we'll
as figuratively by the Rev W. r.
Aues. the preacher barber of Deer
Creek. Ill. No sooner does Mr. Ames
lay aside his surpliee and his prayer
book than he dons is barber coat and
grasps his faithful 1azer. He believes
with a vengeance in the cleanliness
doctrine, and practices it net only upon
himself hut upon all the patrons of

the residents of Deer Creek. The vii
layers seem to enjoy being shaved by
a pastor barber. Where some of them
only got their Sunday slaves every
Saturday night formerly they now
show up for their cleanliness applica-
tioa twice a week. 49,
Every one is especially anxious to be
shaved by the minister. Regular GUS
toners say that lie applies the keen
blade and the hot towels With the del
icatc touch of an artist. Despite his
religious profession he is able TO talk
well on sports and general topics, so
that he has all Of the qualifications
OF a Iirst-class barber.
The Rev. Mr.. Ames is lie pastor of
the first Methodist Episcopal church
ia Deer Creek. He has been cut of q
theological seminary but a short time
his pastorate at Deer Greek having d
history of only few weeks. Since
becoming acquainted with the villag-
ers he has impressed every one With
his energetic spiri1 AMI his capacity
for work. His church duties do not
AXE up ali of his time, and he be-
lieVes in being useful with his hands
as welt as with lis head. He has
made a hit with lis versatility, and
the villagers flock to his church to
hear him deal out the gospel to them.
AS 10 preaching, he is said to be the
most proficient of any minister who
has occupied the passionate in Deer
Creek in recent years. At barbering
he is the envy of the professional sha-
yers and haircuttars of the village The
curious combination of the two pro-

idea being one of service, whether for
cleanliness or godsiness.-Christian

ATLANTIC PALACES.

The recent Christmas journey of the Maui
Tetania to New York and back performed, as
reported last week, in record time, was a
splendid tribute to the skill of British boat
builders. It has also aroused much debate
about the future of ocean travel. What are
our great ships coming tor What is to be
the limit of size for them? Next summer
the White Star liner, the Olympic, will be
traversing the Atlantic, a ship of Is, 900 tons,
662 tt. long, and go it. broad. This ship
and her sister, the Titanic, have cost be.
tween them three million pounds. The Ger
man Hamburg-Amerika Line has already
Ia1d down O 80, 000-ton ship, and the Cunard
Company, not to be outdone, has begun a
vessel still bigger than the biggest German.
There is already talk of a 10000 ton shin
under construction. Less than ten wears
ago a vessel of 10000 tons was thought an
ocean phenomenon. If tonnage can increase
from lZ,OO0 tons to sc, @ tons in a decade
some may ask why should it NOT in tbo
course of q few years increase to $50 600
tons, SO that we have a ship so great tI1at
no sea can move it. There are very practical
reasons against this. Chief Of them is
the simple fact that ships are no good unless
there are terminal ports which they can
enter. Already Southampton, Liverpool, and
New York are taxed to their utmost capacity
by the size Of the existing boats. 1t would
be too much to say that the limit of size has
absolutely been reached, but we are certainly
approaching it. The limit Of practicable
speed along present lines has certainly been
attained, and we are likely to see nothing
faster than the Mauretania until some new
methods of propulsion or some great i'm
provemeDts in existing methods have been
discovered. These may come from the oil
engine. In luxury it is hard to say what
more can be done than is done to-day, when
ships have everything that the heart of the
sybarite could desire, from palm lounges to
daily papers.-DajIy Mail, Dec. 81St

GREAT UPRISING IN CARTHAGENA
(Bar5ados Globe, I3 Jan.)

BY the arrival of the Leyland steamer
Mercian on Wednesday afternoon, tire news
of an uprising in Carthagena on the 1lth,
18th, and 18Th ulto, was received.
From what we can gather, Archbishop
Pedro Adam Brioschi Of that diocese, had
entered into a contract with an American
company for the sale of the artistic pulpit OF
the Cathedral, as also some valuable jewell
ery of the temple, for the sum Of $4,000.
When this proposition reached the ears of
the people they rose en- masse against 1T and
against the Archbishop and the Jesuit clergy
in general. This brought out the police
against the attacks on the Archbishop and
clergy, and q most terrible and bloody battle
took place between the police and the peo-
pie, the latter not being armed, broke open
the stores and took fromm them revOlvers,
machettes and knives and charged on the
police. The fighting on both sides was
fierce land resulted in several being killed
and q large number wounded. When order
was restored a relief society for the families
of the wounded was organized.
The Governor of the department and
several notables of the city, fearing for the
Archbishop's safety made him cancel the
contract which had been effected. He gave
as an explanation for his conduct that IN
consequence of the coming change IN the
government he thought it prudent to save
che interests of the Jesuits and protect In an
ticipation the interests of the Catholics.
Notwithstanding the address by the Gov
ernor and the chiefs of the party to the peo-
pie, they were not satisfied, and demanded
the authorities to imprison the Archbishop
or order him Immediately out of Colombian
coil II WOO than decided that the Arch
bishop should leave on the 18th instant, but
as the opportunity of the sailing Of the Mer-
ian for this port was offered, the Archbish-
op embraced it and came on to Colon, where
he arrived on Thursday afternoon.-St0,let

THE FUTURE OF FLYING.

What is to be the immediate future of
flying? Is it to continue to be as it mainly
is at present, the show accomplishment of a
picked number of specially skilled young
athletes ? Mr.. Grahame-W White, in a fascinat~
ing sketch of the future of the craft, main
tains that this is not so. He points to the
coming of a period within the next year
when air carriages will be constructed as
comfortable as motor-carriages now are, and
when the rich man will be able to step into
his comfortably cushioned car, we'll shielded
from wind and storm, and be taken by his
aviator where he desires to go almost as
readily as the rich man of to-day can com.
mlnd his chauffeur to take him where he
wills. The air car will travel at a speed
which the motor-car now cannot attempt. It
will be Indifferent to the perils of cross
country driving in roadless tracks. FITS field
will be very wide. Already, for example,
some leaders in the missionary world have
been enquiring about the possibility of using
aeroplanes in pioneer lands where the work
takes them constantly over country difficult,
dangerous, and delaying for travel, owing to
swamps, wild beasts, and savages. For the
present, of course, the aeroplane is too ex-
pensive for the missionary, but within five
years we may see well-built machines sold
readily for $3.50 apiece. The conquest of
the last of the elements TO be conquered-air
is not proceeding without heavy toll of life
and of money. The list of victims has been
all too long. But no real battle is fought
without loss, and at least we can say that
out of loss is coming victory-Ibid.

TRIALS WITH GREEN DRESSINGS IN
DOMINICA.

The following account Of trials that have
been made recently in Dominica, has been
received from Mr.. A. J. Brooks, Otficer-in-
charge at the Agricultural School
At the Agricultural School, the horse bean
(Cana0a5jo onSitornais) is generally grown
for the purpose of green manuring, as this
plant has given the best results, of all the
plants previously tried at the school.
Seeds of two varieties of CrotaIarja Der
yucosa and c. Styiuta were recently receiv-
ed from Trinidad, through DR.. H. A. A. Nj
cholls, c. NJ. G., for the purpose of testing
their suitability for green manuring.
A plot of land was divided into three
equal sections for the trial the first section
was sown with horse beans, the second with
G. Uerrucosa, and the third with G. stridta.
The seed in oil three sections terminated
well, and continued to grow evenly. The
