This is equally true of the question of what shall be the attitude of the Christian church towards tho results of modern scientific and Biblical criticism. No church can leave this unanswered in view of the degree to which it is occupying the earnest study of gifted and learned men in these departments of thought. The progratinne of the conference an- nounces that each of these live tc)pies is down for discussion. The latter is to be opened by Percy Bunting, a Wesleyan lays 'nen, for some time editor of the Content- esorars/ .Review, and a grandson of the famous Dr. Jabez Bunting. Professor Davison, whose paper on "Tho Inspiration of the Scriptures" recently attracted such Wide attention, is to address the cenference on the same subject, and Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the gifted 'leader of what is known as the "forward movement," is to open a discussion by a paper on "The Religious Press and the religious Uses of the Secular Press." This is one of the great discus- sions arranged for the meeting, and many noted leaders in Methodism are to follow the celebrated English divine, among them Dr. Nivea, editor of the Guardian. The opening sermon is to be preached by the venerable Rev. Wm. Arthur, the author of " The Successful Merchant," "The Tongue of Fire," and other well-known books. Great preparations are being made in New York City to welcome the delegates by a. public banquet on the 511). prox. The total number of accredited representatives will be 500-300 American, including 24 from Can- ada, and 200 from Europe—and for con- venience of organization, and for the pur- poses of equity and fraternity, the whole Methodist corrununity shall be included in four general divisions, as follows : First division—The Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Second division—Other Methodist Churches in the United States and Canada. Third division—The British Wesleyan Methodist Churches. Fourth division— Other British Methodist Churches, Ihunallable Matter. Tho United States law with regard to the carrying of newepapers containing lottery advertisements through the mails is as follows: • "Newspapers, pamphlets and publica- tions of all kinds, bearing date before or since the 191h day of September, 1890 (at which date the Act took effect), which con, tails the advertisement of any lottery, gift enterprise, or shnilar scheme, or the whole or part of the list of prizes awarded at the drawings of lotteries or similar schemes, are by the provisions of this Act denied carriage in the mails or delivery to subscribers, ad- dressees or to any other person or as sample espies.' Postmasters should re- fuse to receive them from publishers or to deliver them if by inadvertence they reach the office of destination. When found by postmasters in the mails in transit, they should be held until a report concerning them can he made to the Postmaster - General and instructions received from him as to the disposing of them. Foreign news- papers, pamphlets and publications of all kinds containing printed matter forbidden by the provisions of this Act should be treated as if they were published in the United States. The term 'lottery,' as used in this Act, embraces all kinds of schemes, general or local, for the distribution of prizes by lot or cldnce, such as gift exhibi- tions, enterprises, concerts, raffles or the drawing of prizes in money or property at fairs. Hence, letters, postal cards and circulars concerning them, and newspapers, pamphlets and other publications containing advertisements of them, are =mailable." Dainty for Travellers' Palates. An appetizing and easily eaten dainty especially suited to the railway hamper is prepared as follows: Boil half a dozen eggs for ten minutes; immerse in cold water to prevent their turningblack, and peel off the shells ; cut the eggs lengthwise ; take out the yolks and beat them up first with a little butter, then add potted ham and a suspicion of mustard. When done, fill the hollow whites with the paste and press the halves together, wrapping them in different colored tissue paper, twisting the ends tightly together to hold the paper secure. Eat them with mock sandwiches. To Aecontmodate Tourists. A band of tourists are being personally conducted through a chateau on the borders of the Loire.

'Interesting aveounts have been received at the postoffice department frern lieurY George,. jun., a newspaper norreSporideat now eupplying a eyadicate of American daily newspapers with letters from Eng- land,touching the postal telegraph system in that country. He says the charge for telegrams to all parts of the United 1(ing- dom is 1 cent a word, including the ad- dress, the minimam charge being 12 cents for 12 words or less. Ordinary postage stamps are affixed to the messages in pay- ment, A moderate additional charge is made when the addressee lives beyond the limits of the free (lelivery. Telegrams can be repeated at half the original cost. The cost of a reply not exceeding fortyeight words may he prepaid, and a reply form" is then delivered to the addressee, who can send his reply from any telegraph office within two months. Five figures are counted as one word; in this country the telegraph companies count every figure a word. As a measure of • economy where many messages are likely to be sent, an abbreviated or arbitrary address may be registered for $5 a year. In addition to these direct benefits the people enjoy very substantial indirect advantages such as result from a cheaper ser- vice for newspapers and news agencies. The rate of news messages to all parts of the kingdom is 24 cents for every 100 words transmitted between 6 p. m. and 0 a. in., and during the day it is 24 cents for every 75 words, with the additional charge of four cones per 100, or 75 words, according to the honk, for every duplicate telegraphic com- munication. A correspondent in London with 300 papers on his list, for instanee, pays for sending out a piece of news after 6 p. m. itt an average rate of a fraction over four cents per 100 words. In this way, Mr. George says, the vast bulk of news tele- graphing is done. The Delaneymultiplex is one of a rnum- ber of American inventions in use in Eng- land, by which it is possible to send out six messages over a single wire at one time. The British government pays $10,000 a year royalty on it. Although it has been in profitable use there five years, it has been steadily refused in this country where the companies have no need of inventions that would increase facilities and reduce their charges. A prodigious amount of work, in an incredibly short time, is accomplished in the English postal telegraph system by the Wheatstone automic process. This is an English invention, transmitting 400 words a. minute, and is used in newspaper tele- graphic work. Since the Government regulation of the telegraph lines in England, the number of telegraph offices has been increased from 2,448 to 7,600, the rates have been reduced more than one-half, and press rates cut down to a fraction over four cents per 100 words; and, more important than all that, the service has been equally and impar- tially cheap to all. Universal sentiment, according to Mr. George, testifies to the immensely greater convenience and effi- ciency of the postal telegraph system, and no one would ever think of going back to the old plan of private companies. Mr. George thinks that as good, if not better, postal telegraph system could be established in the United States. The American letter service is really much cheaper than the English, taking: into account the fact that our territory is thirty times larger; and the electrical invention, instead of being checked would be stimulated. —.Northwest- ern Trade. OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS. latteral Application of the Well -Known Metaphor. The Baltimore Sun has the following: "Among the instruments invented for the preservation of life at sea that will be experimented with before the Board of Supervising Inspectors of Steam Vessels in Washington on Sept. 28th will be an oil projectile and distributor. It is an appar- atus for spreading oil on stormy waters, and is the invention of Everett I). Moore, of Baltimore, and has just been patented by the American Oil Projectile Company, of which ex -Governor Groome is President. "The projectile is a simple contrivance, and is operated by being fired from a can- non. An operating rope is attached to a rod at the side of the projectile, and by this means When it strikes the water it is handled from the point where it was fired from by beinghauled through the water back to the ship or beach. As the projectile travels back the water goes into one end and forces the oil out of the distributor through valves from the opposite end. The oil thus spreads out over the surface and makes a smooth road over the agitated waters. ".A Bay Ridge recently the projectile and distributer were tested with good results. From a small cannon the instru- ment was fired about 500 yards off shore. The water was in a state of moderate violence, the waves being whitecapped. From the point where the projectile dropped back to the beach a smooth road was left over the route the oil was dis- charged on, and the whitecaps disappeared entirely. He Put This and That Together. A young woman was trading in a station- er's shop, says a 'German paper, and the elderly proprietor suddenly asked: "And when does the wedding take place ?" "The wedding? Why, you don't think—" 'The fair customer blushed and hesitated. "Ah, fraulein, when young ladies buy a hundred sheets of paper and only twenty- five envelopesI know there is something in the wind."

It should not be allowed to continue, aiS in its debility the system is especially liable to serious attacks of illness. It is re- markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa- parilla is in this enervating state. Pos- sessing just those elements which the system needs and readily seizes, this medicine purifies the blood, and im- parts a feeling of strength and self-con- fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best remedy for that weakness which pre- vails at change of season, climate or life. Sars "1 believe it is to the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla that I owe my present health. In the spring, I got so com- pletely run down I could not eat or sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of life seemed to have it mortgage on my system. I was obliged to abandon my work, and after seeking medical treat- ment and spending over $5o for different preparations, I found myself no better. 'Then my wife persuaded me to try a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before the first bottle was gone I began to amend. I have now used two bottles and have gained 23 pounds. Can eat anything without it hurting me; my dyspepsia and biliousness have gone. I never felt better in my life." W. V.

"People frequently ask, 'How often should I water my plants ? '.» said Chief Gardener Saunders, of the Department of Agriculture to a Washington Stair reporter the other day. "To begin with, never ap- ply water to a plant until it requires it, that is, until it is dry,and then apply a sufficient quantityto soak it. Novices in plant culture usually make the mistake of merely sprinkling the sur- face of the soil, perhaps daily, without at any tirne applying enough water to saturate the mass. Plants cannot flourish under such conditions; the sitrface will appear wet, while the main body of the soil is hard and dry. One drawback to properly watering plants in parlor and window gardening arises from the inconvenience attending the use of water in sufficient quantities; another evil is the dryness of the air. Both of these obstacles to success can be greatly modified by the use of a table properly fitted f9r the reception of the flower pots or small vases in which the plants are kept. This table may be of any required size ; a surface of two by three feet would be suitable for most windows ; it should be made tight and neatly fitted. A ledge is made by fastening a strip three inches wide around the edge; then fill with two inches of clean, whitesaml, upon which the plants are placed. Lining the table with zinc would completely guard against drip. "There are a few general rules with re- gard to watering plants which may be noted. Watering should be preferably applied during the early part of the day, especially so in the winter season. Plants in pots well supplied with roots will re- quire much more water than those which are newly potted or have a quality of soil with a few roots. Plants with narrow or small foliage will not use so much water as those with large spreading leaves. Plants in the shade will not need as much water as will those in the inn]. But in eases where water is applied it should be done copiously. In the pot culture of plants, where the amount of soil is limited, the use of liquid manure is of vast service when judiciously applied, but much harm may be occasioned by its indiscriminate use. Many persons consider it necessary to resort to the use of guano and other solutions on sickly plante, and are surprised to find that the applica- tion only hastens the dissolution of the Pat‘lentir. ‘Iis only healthy, and well -rooted, plants that are to be benefited by manures, and such as are supplied with hungry roots, but growing slowly for want of nutriment. But it should be kept in mind that stimu- lants should not be applied While flower - buds are forming, as it might Mance an creased. wood growth at the expense of the flowering principle."
