The Convention at the Christian Church The attendance at the convention of delegates from different parts of the district is quite gratifying and the business pertaining to the work of the Christian Women s Board of Missions occupied the entire afternoon yesterday. Rev. Ferguson, ol Pittshoro. conducted the devotional services and Mrs. Creel, the district manager, made a report showing the organization of four auxiliaries and live Mission Hands since the last convention a year ago. Mis. S. A. K Boor, of New Castle, who is state organizer and coi respond nig secretary gave a glowing report of her work and encouraged the sisters to put forth renewed zeal and energy, assuring them of her | hearty cooperation and counsel. Her presence and words proved to he quite an inspiration to the meeting. Mrs. A.L. Orcuttof Danville, read an excellent paper on “Our Responsibilities'’ which was requested for publication in the Indiana Christ tan. Mrs. I). E. Williamson followed with a splendid extemperancous address that was greatly appreciated by alt present. Other subjects were discussed by the convention, many of the brethren taking part, and promising tiie sisters their helj and support. It was a very pleasant and profitable session. The evening sermon was delivered by A. L. Oreutt. of Danville, his subject being “The Three Chapters in Redemption.” It was a most ex cellent discourse and the speaker received the closest attention throughout its entire delivery. A number of new arrivals came last evening, among them being W. E. Huvkleman, of Irvington, a noted singer and publisher of a music book, also \V. A. Conner and wife, of Irvington, Elder Johnson, of Lebanon, .Mr. Rodman, of Dana, anil others. The convention closes tonight with a sermon by the state evangelist, E. B. Scofield. All are cordially invited. Weak ami IServolli, Describes the condition of thousands of people at this season. They have no appetite, cannot sleep, and comiihiin of the prostrating effect of warmer weather. This condition may be remedied by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which creates an appetite and tones up all the organs. It gives good health by making the blood pure. Hood’s Fills are the best after-dinner pills, assist digestion cure headache. A Painter of Miniature*. Along about thirty-five years ago Prof. Kussner resided in Greencastle. He was well known to many of our older citizens and was a music dealci. He moved from here to Terre Haute. In the October issue of the Ladies' Home Journal under the title of u “painter of miniatures” a description of the work of iiis daughter Miss Amalia Kussner, who is now one of the o greatest artists in the country, is given as follows: The history of art enrolls many records that touch ihe heart and stir the imagination, but it furnishes no more pathetic pieiuie than Amalia Knssner’s unheralded arrival in New York, nor anymore romantic story than that of her subsequent career. While strug~ing blindly toward the light the girl Artist called upon a well known social leader, who was also a recognized art connoisseur, taking w ith her specimens of her work, hoping to enlisL his interest. The attempt was in vain; he shook his head, saying art like hers was unsuited to the time. It was, he said, too line, too slow, and above all too costly to meet the requirements of modern taste. Then, taking up a picture of ids daughter, which had been photographed on porcelain and colored, lie held it out to the “pamter-in-Uttle” saying, “That is the sort of thing people want now.” She went away bitterly disappointed, chilled, and exceeding heavy-hearted. But eighteen months afterward that same gentleman stood in the throng that crowded about her miniatures during the exhibit of women’s portraits at the National Academy of Design, in November, 1894. Since then her brush lias been monopolized by the highest fashion, not only of New York but of the whole country, and no feature of her work is more remarkable than the amount of it. It is ditHcult to define Miss Kussner’s school or to describe her style. She has studied no master as a model, and has apparently given little attention to technique. She paints, if possible, entirely from life, and draws with great ease and rapidity. The richness of her coloring and delicacy of treatment have all the refinement of the French school.

A CHILLY OCTOBER.

I'araon Hick* Say* W«* Will Hava Front and Snow Next Month. The storm diagram indicates that the first half of October is likely to prove stoymy in a high degree. Being still in the Jrpiter period, the earth disturbances holding on, tne Venus equinox central on the 2nd, and the Mercury period following from the 7th to the 18th. Many wild and dangerous October storms will be a natural consequence. The full moon falling iu a reactionary disturbance on the 3d will help to perturb our atmosphere and facilitate the Venus phenomena—first very warm, then min, with possible thunder and lightning, turning to snow in the north,—all to be followed by a stiff cold wave. The regular Vulcan period will be central on the 10th, blending with Mercury, Earth and Jupiter from the 18th to the 12lh. Storms of rain, sleet and snow will visit many parts ot the country during this period, and much cloudiness and tendency to rain and storm will continue into the reactionary period from the Kith to the 18th. A cold wave with Afost and freez •ug will follow tlie storms, of rain, sleet and snow. Weather will re aet into warmer about the 20th, and more storms will appear during the 21st to 23rd. Another dash from the north pole will be lelt about the close of the period, resulting in considerable freezing. Critical observers will find pleasure in noting the conditions and results about the moon's first quar ter on the 2oth. There is no doubt in our mind that disturbances of a pure lunar origin sometimes arise at this and other phases of the moon. Either the regular storm period will continue, or the reactionary disturbances will be precipitated a day or two. as a rtde in such cases; In this case, if storms pass promptly in the Vulcan period, followed by cold before the 25th. change to warmer will be noted at tins date, and struggling disturbances will threaten up to the reactionary storms due about the 27th and 28th. Bleak and freezing weather will follow up to near the end of the month. The end of the Vulcan brace over the 31st shows that a storm period begins in October and runs into November. This fact calls lor rising tempera ture and falling barometer in the west as October expires.

I Hfc KASIUKt (jMASbtb. A Mlxtnre of Several Varieties Give* Baal Itesnlt*—Austrian Hroroe Grass. Where one grass succeeds another will not, and it is essential that we should have a great variety ou hand. Our list is now quite extended, and if a farmer has a piece of land that will not produce some of these varieties it must be pretty poor land indeed. One of the greatest improvements needed in this country is a proper study of grass mixtnren. Grass seeds of several varieties properly mixed for each climate and soil give better results than if only ono variety be sown. Grasses that form the best mixtures so far in this country are snch as the meadow foxtail, tall oat grass, meadow fescue, tall fescue. All of these are imported grasses that have t>0001110 perfectly and permanently adapted to this country. Added to them are the native American and Canadian grasses—Kentucky blue, Canadian blue, red top, orchard grass and timothy. Lately the Italian and perennial rye grasses have been used largely in mixtures in this country, giving great results in most instances. As the perennial will live through a mild winter and the Italian through the severest winter, the two grasses prove of special value when mixed with less hardy varieties. Nearly all the rye grasses are cheaper, and the danger often is to make the mixture consist largely of these, very often to the detriment of the general crop. Another grass that is now coining into vogue in this country as part of pasture mixtures is the Austrian brome grass. This has been used more largely in Canada and in the northwest, where it has been found admirably adapted for pasturage on lands of light or moist descriptions. It produces a heavy, early crop and yields a good aftermath of succulent, leafy roots. So far this grass lias proved a valuable acquisition. But cloven* should also enter into the composition of nearly all grass mixtures, and wo have now a list of fine clovers sufficient to cover every part of the country. The most suitable varieties are: Alsike, white or Dutch; trefoil, lucern, crimson and rod clover. Many of these clovers are invaluable ou pasture lands, and one is no longer compelled to feel if the common clover does not succeed that it is useless to try any longer. Some of these varieties are almost sure to take hold and yield a fair crop, preparing the way often for the other varivti' S. It is not wise to tlepend upon any specific formula for mixing grass seed, but it is very evident that onr pastures could l>o greatly improved if a more thowiugh study wero made of the art of mixing. We must study the natures of the different grasses and then adapt each to its locality. We have passed that period when a farmer should depend upon one or two varieties of grasses for his pastures. That is just the way to run out the grass permanently. —Prairie Farmer. Situation of Incubators. Success with artificial incubators depends more than the average person supposes ou tlie situation of the machine. Country Gentleman quotes a correspondent who insists that the machine be situated where there will be the least possible fluctuation in temperature. An incubator should never be where the sun can shine directly upon it or in direct drafts of air, both of which tend to cuuso variations in the temperature, 41111* tlie latter of which may extinguish the lamp. A second important requisite of situation is that it he where fresh ni* can be constantly furnished without subjecting the machine to a draft. To meet those two requisites it is advisable that the incubator be placed in some underground or partiallyjanilcrgronnil room, like a cellar or basement. Here the temperature changes slowly. Hero, too, fresh air in sufficient quantity can 1> > admitted without causing a draft. An I hero also the machine can be placed out of the rays of the sun. Drying Stove Wood. Ohio Farmer gives an illustration of drying green stove wood in winter. It simply consists in piling the wood "cobhouse” fashion, the sticks bcii*» piled iu pentagon or hexagon form, the latter being tlie best, the piles being built as high as one can roach. The piles may he in a double rank, with corners just touching, so as to give mutual support, and wide hoards may be placed on top of each row slanting outward so as to shed tho rain away from the wood. Bark limy be used or tlie top of each pile finished with wood laid close with a rapid
