This was in 1767. One year later Embury had raised enough money to found a church on the site of the present John street Church.
 The present pastor is the Rev. L. R Sreeter.
 Maryland Methodists claim that Robert Strawbridge sailed from Ire land two years before Embury and founded the first church at Sans Creek fifteen miles from Baltimore.
 There is no officially approved record of this, but there was a church at sam's creek, which lasted a few years.
 In 1912 the subject was brought up at General Conference meeting and a commission of seven clergymen ap- pointed to solve the mystery. The meeting was held in Baltimore, and here enters politics.
 Seven representatives were invit- ed from Southern churches to vote on the question:" said the Rev. Carroll today.
 "The Rev. Kelley, the Rev. Chad wick and myself refused to vote as the vote said the church founded at Sam's Creek was the oldest in America"
 The board of bishops then request ed that action of the commission be deferred until the meeting of the gen. eral conference this year.
 This was ignored, and two years ago the Southern churches celebrated the sesqui-centennial at Sam's Creek
 The Rev. Carroll said there will be a minority report to the general con ference objecting to the adoption ot the report that the Maryland church ] is the oldest.
 Meantime, the Rev. Streeter is busy  getting ready for the sesQui-cen tennial celebration at the John Street ! church.

The food Of flowers is a matter
just beginning to interest the scien-
tific world. Violets are said to CON
tain considerable nourishment. They
formed the basis Of a refreshing
drink, and in other forms figured
conspicuously in the feasts Of the an
cient Persians. The modern confec-
toner crystallizes them in sugar.
The old Turkish CONNECTIONS made
of rose leaves are declared delicious
by those who have eaten them. A
number of cooks have discovered that
handful of rose petals imparts a
flavor Of unparalleled delicacy to des-
serts of many kinds.
For those who do not care for
sweets, the gayly-colored nasturtium
offers delights to the palate. 1t NAV

DECLINE IN FRENCH POETRY
Prose Has Superseded It In the Favor
Of the People, Is an Opinion
Given.

1t is fact that the French mind
uses prose as its reader instrument,
and it is also fact that at this pres
ent moment, when the French spirit
reasserts itself, poetry is far in the
background compared with what it
was at the beginning of Romanti-
cism, when Hugo, Lamartine, Musset
and Vigny occupied the front part
of the stage.
There are more poets than there
were at any period of French litera-
ture, and their average work is SUI
perior to what it was in the nine
teenth century; but poetry is not
popular, and the best known poets,
the most successful-say, Henri de
Regnier and the Comtesse de Noail-
les-do not reach the twentieth part
of Victor Hugo's public.

MESSAGES IN PIGEONS TAILS
Idea That Dispatches Are Attached TO
Leg Of Bird Is FaIlacious--
Method Of Importance.

The general notion that all that
1as to be done in forwarding dis
patch by pigeon is to catch the bird,
tie a letter to its leg, and then liber-
ate it is utterly fallacious, as the
method Of attaching the message is
of great Importance.
Prior to the siege of Paris the
method of affixing the message to the
bird had not received that attention
which it demanded, and consequent
ly many dispatches were lost in
transit
AT first the message was merely
rolled up tightly, waxed over to pro-
tect it from the weather, and then
attached to a feather in the birds
tail.
But it was soon found that the
Irvine which kept the missive in its
place cut or damaged the paper, and
therefore, in order to prevent it from
being pecked by the pigeon and from
being injured by wet, the dispatch
was inserted in a small goosequill two
inches in length.
The quill was then pierced close to
each end with a red-hot bodkin, so as
not to split it, and in the holes waxed
silk threads were inserted to affix it
to the strongest tail feather BY at
taching the message to this part of
the birds body, its flight was not in
any way interfered with.
