Toronto World: The Methodist Church
is forever being confeonted with the proof
that its systeiu of supplying ministers is
faulty. lioevever that system may on the
whole compare with the various other plans
in use, it is certainly far from perfect.
The latest instance of this occurs in the
Davenport Church on the western skirts of
Toronto. This church has been long estab-
fished and once flourished, but of recent
years the congregatione have fallen away,
and the collectionand other sources of
revenue dwindled to insufficiency. New
churches have arisen near by and pros-
pered, and the more the leading
members of the Davenport flock looked
about the more regularly, did their
eyes revert to their pulpit and their hearts
declare that a young minister must be
secured. Their especial need was a young
man, one who could eneile as well as pray ;
who could entertain ancl retain the living as
well as shrive the dying; who would be as
handy at a picnic as a prayer -meeting, and
in his vigorous humanity prefer a merriage
to a. funeral. This opinion was arrived at
last year, and a memorial was forwarded to
Dr. .Pirritte, President of the conference
[and formerly a resident of Hamilton],
asking that the request be impressed
upon the Stationing 011ommiteee. In the
original draft of stations Rev. Mr, Well -
woods was allotted to Davenport, ancl this
suited the congregation to a nicety. Pre-
sumably he is a good hand at a wedding and
• a cordial smiler. At any rate this is what
they demanded in their new parson, and
they were suited with him. Rev, Dr. Pir-
ritte, retiring president of the conference,
was billeted for Orillia in the first draft of
, 'stations, but the Orillia people presumably
*anted a, parson who could put up swings at
a pmnic if need be and go with zest tato his
- sacred function of stealing first kiss from the
bride at marriages, so they sent word that
Dr. Pirritte would not do. Thereupon the
•:Stationing Committee transposed Messrs.
Wellwoods and Pirritte. The Davenport
people held an indignation meeting and
refuse to accept Rev. Dr. Pirritte as their
minister.
Rev. Dr. Pirritte is placed in a most
humiliating position. After years of valu-
able services to the church he is sent to one
.station after another and told that he is not
wanted. Last year he was exalted by his
fellow -clergymen to the presidency, and that
should, if it does not, attest his attainments
as well as his virtues of head and heart. A
system that can subject such a man to such
humiliation is a poor system and has lived
too long.
The introduction of fiddles and operatic
solos and bun -struggles and collections to
get into church and collections to get out
again -this style of thing is bearing fruit
• everywhere. The preacher nowadays re-
quires to be a Napoleon of finance and play
the arts of a confidence man in filling his
pews e In hiring him the congregation bar-
gains for a broad smile saul a wife who will
meekly be bullied by every woman on the
circuit. The Stationing Committee should
secure a list of those churches that demand
,circus attractions in the pulpit, and those
•other churches that insist upon having a
minister who can turn handsprings, and has
a hereditary disposition to shake hands.
In this way it might save ministers grown
old in the service, but none the less sensi-
tive, from humiliation they can never quite
• forget in this life.
Fresh and Vigorous.
On a fine morning and a fine road, what is
more invigorating than a spin on 'a cycle?
Wien it comes to a race, the suggestion of
Mr. George Phillips, Sec'y, Leinster Cycling
Club, Dublin, Ireland, has force: "I have
found St. Jacobs Oil an invaluable remedy
for strains and bruises, and so have several
members of our club." ' This ought to be
borne in mind.
A Few Sensible Remarks.
But what's a diploma? It shows what
you have been. It is no passport to success.
It won't gain admission for you to a first-
class college, and if you wanted a situation
and showed it to a business man as a recom-
mendation he would put you down as a
, guy; and you'd be one. A diploma doesn't
show that your education has left you
anxious to learn more. And unless you are,
you're not worth much. What you really
• are and are worth to others is •the
test of capacity.. Goethe, the German
poet, • says "You are, after all, -what
, you are. Deck yourself in a wig with
a thousand locks ' • ensconce your legs in
• buskins an ell high ; you still remain just
what you are." It is not enough that you
• have gone through the school curriculum
- end are supposed to have absorbed the
learning in the books you were required
to study. Henry Ward Beecher remarked
, once that the first great lesson a young
• man should learn is, that he knows noth-
ing. And your college professor or your
• employer will estimate you all the more
highly for approaching the world of learn -
fags or business in the humble frame of
mind induced by such a lesson.-Drale's
Magazine.
Something To Re Avoided.
We would guard the young against the
use of every word that is not perfectly
, proper. Use no profane expression -allude
to no sentence that would put to blush the
most sensitive. You know not the tendency
of habituallyusing indec'ent and profane
;language. It may never be obliterated
from your hearts, says the New York
Ledger. When you grow up you will find
-at your tongue's encl sense expression you
-would not use for any money. By being
mareful, you will save yourself a great deal
of mortification and sorrow. Good men have
been taken sick and become delirious. lis
these moments they have used the most vile
and indecent language imaginable. When in-
formed of it, after a restoration to health,
they had no idea of the pain they had given
their friends, and stated that they had
learned ancl repeated the expressions in
childhood, and, though year's had passed
•since they had spoken a bad word, the early
impressions had been indelibly stamped
upon the heart.

TUE GENTLE WAY.
How Expert ahoplitating is Carried on ODA
Deteeted.
She was a middle-aged, well-dreesed lady,
and he had the next etoo l on my right
alongside a dry goods counter in Fourteenth
street. I wasn't watching her at all, but
happened to see her place her shopping -bag
on the counter and deftly pick' up and con -
coal a pair of kid gloves within its capa-
cious maw. One hates to meddle in such
cases, but such things are wrong, and as
the store detective was only 20 feet away 1
went over and told him what I had seen. 1
saw him look at the girl clerk end he gave
him a nod to signify that she had also
caught on. It was shoplifting, pure and
simple, and I waited with considerablmarix-
iety to see the outcome.
Being waited on, ma'am ?" asked the
detective with a bland smile, as he sat down
'beside her.
" Oh, yes, yes!" she replied.
" Pleamant day ?"
"Very pleasant."
"These gloves," he continued, as he
picked up a pair, "are a wonderful bargain
at the price. You were wise to make an in.
vestment. I don't believe they will sell
again at the price this summer. See that
the lady is promptly waited on Julie."
"Julia" sold her two or three bits of lace,
included ninety cents for the gloves on her
slip, and the bill was paid with-
out a word, although the stolen
goods were not even mentioned, and
could not, of course, be wrapped up with
the other things. It was only when the
lady rose to go, after receiving her change,
that she betrayed any emotion. Then she
flushed up, grew pale about the mouth, and
as she passed inc she gave me a flash of her
eyes which seemed to promise vengeance in
the future.
"Do you always work it as slick as that?"
I asked of the detective, as she swept out,
"Not always. She was an old hand at
the business and a sharp woman. They
always make the best of it when caught.
Oise with less wit would have bluffed and
stormed, and I should have had to take her
back to the office and prove her a thief." -

French Table Talk.
Children being nearly alwa.ye at table in
France, and oouversation often being ani-
mated amongst sheir elders, they hear a
great deal that was never intended for
them, and they get a sort of education in
talkativeness by mere example. They may
make little use of this in the presence or
strangers cluring boyhood or girlhood, but
it bursts out afterwards when they get to
a talking age. It is recognized by custom
that when a family is in -private every one
has a right to talk or not as he pleases,
and silence being permitted, the taciturn
will take advantage of it • still, nothing is
more national in French life than talkative-
ness at meal times, even when the family
alone is present. This does at least keep up
the national power of talking, though the
mill wheels of conversation have frequently
very little grain to grind. Talk of this kind
has some use as a stimulating exercise of the
lighter faculties, which in other countries
are often left unexercised. The merits of ib
are its facility of expression and its ample
choice of language ; the defects of it, in
France, may be inclueled under the one head
of km/Relent or inaccurate information. -

TESTING' STRENGTH 01'
A Device Which Determines the Strain
Threads Will Bear.
• In the textile industry there is great need
of a device evhich will determine -fairly the
strain that samples of yarn will bear. Here-
tofore much has depended on the skill of the
person making • the test, which must be
made by the application of a dead weight.
As there is difficulty in slowly incereasing
the weight without shock or vibration,
yarn tests have seldom been free from
error.
In a machine recently invented by an
Englishman the • difficulties in testing
yarn have been practically overcome, the
dead weight being gradually increased
by a shnple contrivance. A small cylin-
der is filled with oil which will flow
easily, a connection being established be-
tween the upper and lower part by means
of a small tube. About midway of this tube
is a regulating tap by which the movement
of the oil can be readily controlled. One
end of the yarn is attached to a recording
mechanism at the top of the apparatus and
the other end to the piston working in the
cylinder filled with the oil. To the piston
is attached a, weighted arm, and. when the
regulating tap is turned the oil is slowly
forced from the lower part of the cylinder
to the top until the yarn parts. In the
meantime a simple recording apparatus will
show the actual weight applied previous to
the breaking of the. thread. It is said that
these testers are *extremely simple and
effective.

had grown up formless and organless by
centuries of accretion -in this brilliant
nineteenth century task of reconstructing
cities in their physicial ammeters, dealing

within, Paris has been the unrivaled
leader. Berlin and Vienna have accom-
plished magnificent results in city making,
and great British towns -Glasgow, Birming-
ham, Manchester and others -have in a less
ambitious way wrought no less useful re-
forms ; but Paris was the pioneer. French

'IMOIL DOWN THE CROSS.
PerilonS AKent of a Nighilitog nod Oa a
ItrookiVn VIMireho
Three hundred and twenty feet up in the
air went Charles J. Kent yesterday after
noon, says the Brooklyn 1Ja1jle. Over two
hundred feet of the distance was inside of
the steeple of St. Stephen's- church, at the
corner of Summit and Hicks streets ; the
rest of the dizzy height he climbed up by
the lightning rod from a window of the
tower, with a rope around his body, which
was tightly held by his two assistants,.
Lewis B. Woest and Stuart Cooper. When
he got out of the window many people saw
him, both men and women watched him
with nerves unstrung. In a few min-
utes he was at the top and had a hold of
the great cross that has stood on that
steeple for the past eighteen years. It
is six feet in height and four inches in
width at the cross and made of galvanized
iron. It had about six hundred glass bull's
eyes in it -worth about $1.50 each when
new --and the cross was imported, from the
Netherlands by the late Father O'Reilly.,
the former pastor of the church, and placed
there when the steeple was completed. The
cross was formerly lit up by electricity and
could be seen seventy miles at sea. Com-
plaints, however, were made by the pilots
of New York harbor that the light of the
cross seriously interferred with navigation,
so the light was taken out. The present
pastor of the church deemed it necessary -
that the cross ohould be taken down, as it
was getting rusty, and its galvanized iron
fastenings were becoming loosened. Kent
took the cross down. In six hours from the
time Kent began his perilous ascent from
the topmost window of the tower the cross,
weighing in the neighborhood of eight
hundred pounds, was lying in the yard of
the church.
Holidays.
The Chicago News, in the course of a
thoughtful article on the subject of holidays,
points out that it is not merely kindness of
heart, nor patriotism, which prompts men
in business or trade to assume willingly the
financial burdens connected with holiday
observances. It is simply a keen perception
of the working of economic laws -a realiza-
tion that the whole community is benefited
by well -observed holidays, and that the
expenses which they themselves incur are
just as much legitimate investments as the
money expended for advertising or for the
proper ventilation of store, workshop or
counting house. As the News observes in
summing up the question: " Holidays are
not philanthropic concessions on the part of
the employers. Holidays and half -holidays
are not merely vested rights of employees.
They: are also, and above all things, an eco-
nomic necessity; and whoever fails to observe
them by a suspension of all not absolutely
necessary labor, whoever desecrates them by
enslaving himself and others in the service
of Mammon, fails also in one of the highest
duties he owes the community."
One Way of Doing It.
Belfast, Me., Age: Belfast has one citi-
zen who believes in law. He is in the habit
of going on sprees occasionally. When he
gets at a certain stage of inebriation he
arrests himself, walks up to the jail and re-
mains until the next day. He was seen one
evening last week staggering toward that
place of refuge with tears streaming down
his face. On being asked his trouble, Ire
replied that he had to go to jail. " Why not
go home ?" was asked him. "Can't ; have
been drunk; ought to go to jail," and to
jail he went.
