A ROUND TABLE PRAYER MEET.
ING AT LEE AVE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH.

Something new and novel in the
way of prayer-meeting was introduced.
by Elder Preston Taylor, pastor Of
Lee Ave Christian Church. There
were tables put in the chapel and
covers for fifty were laid, while seated
at these tables there was Scripture
readings, songs and prayers and quo
tations. Some thought that a meet
ing Of this kind would detract from
the Spiritual part, but the voice or
all was: It is the best prayer-meeting
that we have had in Lee Ave Christian
Church. It served a two-fold pur-
pose. It made the regular pray-meet-
ing double itself. It brought the
members closer together and warmed
their souls with spiritual blessings. It
was decided to hold this kind Of meet
ing the first Wednesday evening or
each month. The G. w. B. M. the
married ladies club will prepare the
menu for the next Round-Table pray
%er-meeting.

Notices have been sent out to all
members Of the Committee asking
that they meet at Pearl High School
building at ten o'clock, Thursday
morning, November 2S, Thanksgiving
Day.
1t is the object Of the meeting to
outline the program and name a place
of meeting for the next annuap ses-
sion to be held in the early spring.
From replies received secretary w. F.
Reynolds states that he expects a ma
jority Of the committee to be present.
1t is hoped that the next meeting
will far surpass the meeting held last
spring when more than two hundred
teachers were present. The secretary
speaks enthusiastically of having three
or four hundred teachers at the merit
meeting.
The local members Of the committee
trust that the whole committee will be
present at the meeting or that they
send statements concerning their

had a ten-room house, but 1t was

ago., with their furniture, including
a COW horn chair, said to have cost
$500. But they could comfortably
sit in any ordinary chair. The build
ing was replaced with a four-room
cottage.
Those who know say the twins left
but little property-a poor, marshy
farm and a small sum in the bank.
For the past two years Mile has

After the Charleston earthquake

STUDY APPLIED TO AGRICULTURE.
Prof. ]. THOMAS caruthers.

Farm homes must be elevated Ia a
status as comfortable as cultured is
the homes of those engaged in other
pursuits.
Farm communities must have their
social interests and organizations for
social uplift. More systematic study
must therefore be devoted to both
farm life and farm economy if society
is to maintain its equilibrium under
rapidly changing conditions.
Three thousand years ago, Jacob
fully illustrated the value Of study in
connection with anifal breeding when,
as is related in Genesis XXX chapter,
% to AZ, he caused the aocks OF Laban
to conceive among piled rods in or
der to increase the number of ring
staked and spotted which fell to him
hor his hire.
Every individual now engaged in
any phase of agriculture will find a
technical knowledge of his business
helpful both in sustaining the high
character of the enterprise and in
making valuable improvements.
Some years ago the San Jose Scale
devastated great sections Of fruit
growing regions and caused a loss OF
millions of dollars all because orchard

this pest or the method Of eterminatioT

LATE MILHE CHRISTINE TWINS.

The twins we're very courteous and
always glad to receive and talk with
visitors at their home; but they
asked to be notified in time. They
would receive no white visitors On
Sunday, as that day was set aside
or colored people. No charge was
made for seeing them at their home.
The sisters would come into the par
lor and talk with you as long as you
stayed. They wer especially pleased
to talk of their experiences and
travels in foreign lands. But moth
ing angered them more than to be
approached and gazed at when on
their travels, and charged the curl
GUS spectators with being no gentle
men.
We cannot get the exact facts Of
the trouble that Purvis, their owner,
had with the twins in England. One
story is that they were taken from
him by Abolutionists while exhibit
ing in Michigan, carried via under
ground railroad to Canada, and from
thence carried to England and put
in school. Another story is that the
twins we're taken from Purvis while
exhibiting them in England, that
country not recognizing the institu-
ton Of slavery, and Queen Victoria.
then on the throne, being bitterly op-
posed to slavery. Anyway, the twins
were taken from Purvis, and the
courts decided against him. It was
then that the mother was carried
across the ocean and claimed and de-
manded the twins as her children.
There was no denying a mothers
right to her own children, so Victoria
ordered that they be given to her.
She then turned them over to their
owner. After Purvis' death, J. Pear
son Smith took charge Of the sisters

This means that those remaining on
the farm to engage in agricultural
pursuits must become relatively more
productive: less hand labor and more
machinery must be used and the soil
must produce more to the acre; hence
the farmer must become more profile
lent and intelligent. He must gain
a deeper insight into the nature and
composition Of the elements with
which he deals and study the charac-
teristics Of life in the soil as well as
upon it. Successful agriculture is de-
pendent upon the ability of the agri-
culturist to contend successfully with
the changeable elements and insect
pests; to understand both animal and
vegetable pathology; to learn the
chemical and physical properties OF
the soil and vary his methods accord
ing to conditions; rather than follow
blindly the customs of his fathers.
This is only possible when one has a
thorough knowledge of the properties
of the elements which enter into agri-
cultural %vocations. But why this
great ado, about agricultural training
has grown old without it?
A part of the answer has already
been given in the statement that the
number of farmers is growing rela-
lively less and the efficiency of those
who remain must be relatively in
creased. Another part of the an
swer is that methods often Followed
have tended to impoverish even the
most fertile fields, while farm opera
tons in the future must not only re.
tain soil fertility but reclaim farms
at present run down and abandoned

result in greatly increased returns
from the trees.
A few hens and a rooster form part
of almost every household but very
few poultry owners ever think of ap-
plying the laws of hygiene to the
ARE Of their fowls or Of feeding an
egg producing ration: but wonder all
the while why the hens don't lay.
Many a farmer fails to realize the
most from his farm because he does
not follow a proper system Of rotation.
He often fails to introduce into the
system both deep and shallow rooted
plants to feed respectively upon the
deep and surface layers or soil, thuse
he fails to make use of all the plant
food present or perhaps is not judic-
ious IN his selection of a 1egume suited
to enter into the system without which
any system Of rotation Of crops is
seriously defective.
The question of fertilizers should
engage the careful attention Of all
who engage in the growing of crops;
for the quality of the fertilizer af-
fects the quality of the crop and while
certain crops must have the more
available fertilizers certain others
can make use of the and cheap
er fertilizing elements.
Finally those who wish to engage
in agricultural pursuits must study
agriculture and those who study best
and work best will succeed best
and be the owners of the best farms,
for it is just as impossible for the
good farmer to live on a poor farm
as it is for a poor farmer TO live IN a
good farm.

Perhaps no field of human endeayor
giving employment to such large num-
Ders IA the races of mankind and bear
ing sway over such large part Of the
economy of nations has received so
small a proportion OF mans mental
energies as agriculture.
Agriculture.
Youths of brains and promise
have systematically lett the farm to
enter upon vocations other than that
of farming because men of brains and
training have made other vacations
famous, while the uncultured and
those limited in mental capacity have
remained or been kept on the farm
and grown up with visions no broader
than the fields within their line
fences. This truth explains the re-
markably slow evolution of agricul-
tural interests and a kind OF semi
contempt in which the vocation is held
by many. They observe the slow
progress and meagre rewards Of those
who are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, but think little that the trained
mind capable of making life in the
city a success is also capable of max.
ing life on the farm a success. II
farmers studied their professions as
carefully as lawyers, doctors and 9th
er professional men study theirs, there
is every reason to believe that the
rewards for such studies would meal
a compensation equivalent to that TO,
study in other professions.

ic conditions of the country the rura

Legs Cut Off, He Dies While in
Operating Room of Hospital
at Morristown, N. j.
[ BY Telegraph 70 The Tribune. !

Morristown, n. j., Dec. 20.-John
Syse Huyler. son of the late candy
manufacturer and named after him,
died at noon to-day in the operating
room of the Memorial Hospital, where
he was taken after being run over by
train at the Lackawanna station.
Both legs were severed above the
knees. Mr.. Huyler was trying to get

ton.
The young man, who was student

guest of c. p. Delmonico, of No. 60
Maple avenue, for a dance at the Nor
ris County Golf Club. given by Mr.. and
AIRS. James clifford Marshall, of Nor
mandie Park. The affair was in honor
of their daughter, debutante. Miss
Eleanore Marshall.
Mr.. Huyler did not lose conscious
ness. He appreciated the prompt ac-
ton of .Freeholder Reuben Burchell.
one Of the first to reach his side. when
he improvised a tourniquet and stopped
the loss of blood, thus prolonging the
injured mans life probably for few
hours.
Mr.. Huyler gave directions for his
own removal TO the hospital in an eX-
press wagon. and talked calmly with
those about him while he waited for
the wagon. He sdve his name and
asked that his mother be summoned
from New York. The accident hap
pened a few minutes before s o'clock
this morning. and Mrs. Huyler was
able TO get TO Morristown before his
death.

Is Taken to Her Home, Where
All Information as to Her
Condition Is Refused.

Knocked down by a horse attached
10 n delivery wagon yesterday, Mrs.
Columbus O'Donnell Iselin. wife Of the
millionaire banker, was so badly In
jured by being trampled by the horse
that II was found necessary TO take her
In an automobile TO her home, at No 3
West sd street. At her home last
night all information as TO the nature
and extent of her injuries was refused,
but II is understood that she will be
confined TO her bed for several days as
result of her experience.
Mrs. Iselin was crossing from the
south TO the north side OF 5Sth street,
opposite No. 10 West. when the de-
livery wagon. drawn by fiery horse,
turned In toward the curb. Lawrence
Geoghan. driver of the delivery wagon.
made an effort to turn out into the CEN
ire OF the street, but the distance was
too short. and the horses shoulder
struck Mrs. Iselin in the back, throwing
her heavily to the street.
While she was still lying PROSTATE
on the asphalt pavement the horse
reared and then came down on Mrs.
Iselin's body. One Of his hoofs struck
her on the head and she received many
bruises about the body. Geoghan, as
soon as he saw that Mrs. Iseln had
been knocked down, leaped from his
seat and ran TO the horses head, trying
to prevent the animal from striking
the almost unconscious woman.
At the same time DR.. Henry s.
Stearns, of No. As West 5Sth street.
who had been visiting his mother Mrs.
John s. Stearns, at No. 10, was stand
ing In the vestibule Of the house. He
saw Mrs. Iselin fall to the ground and
dashed down the steps and ran toward
her. Annie Mitchell, maid in the
Stearns home, also ran from the base
ment of the house. and together they
lifted Mrs. Iselin from beneath the
horses feet and carried her into the
home of Mrs. Stearns.
DR.. Stearns at once ministered to
Mrs. Iselin and was desirous that she
remain in his mothers house until she
had recovered somewhat from the first
shock of her injuries. Mrs. Iselin. how
ever. although still faint from her ex-
nerience. insisted upon being taken to
her home. At her request. DR.. Stearns
teiephoned TO friends Of Mrs. Iselin and
in a few minutes closed automobile
arrived at the Stearns home. Mrs.
Iselin was assisted into the machihe
and driven to her home.
When an attempt TO learn Mrs.
IseIin's condition was made at the
Iselin home last night. 1t was said that
no statement concerning her condition
would be given out. -----------.
