SUNDAY 1 THE CIIUKCHES

Services Commemorative of the Semicentennial of Christ Church. Its History and Work Reviewed Sermons by Seventh-Day Adventists at the Exposition Grounds Other Special Services. Services commemorative of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishing of its parish were held, yesterday, at Christ Episcopal Church. The event was farther observed by handsomely decorating the altar with floral designs, conspicuous among which were a beautiful anchor and star. The former was a memorial to Judge Morrison, and the latter, over the "Bishop's ehair, was in memory of Bishop Talbot. In the morning the church was crowded with the people of other city parishes and denominations to hear a historical sermon from Bishop Fuller, of Utah. The fourth chapter and twenty-sixth verse of Galatians supplied the text for his theme, "The Church Our Mother." In developins this theme the Bishop spoke of the broad influences of Christianity in the betterment of the world. With a wide Christian charity he referred to the progress and excellent results achieved by all denominations. Detailing the slow development of the missionary spirit in this country in his own church, he referred to its growth in Indiana, which almost at its beginning, fifty years ago, led to the organization of Christ Church parish. The existence of the parish and bis own life were coextensive, as he was born in the year it was formed. Dr. Ksmper was the first missionary Bishop for Indiana. lie at the same time directed the interests of the church in Missouri Coincident with tta coming of Rev. James B. Britton to Indianapolis as the first resident Episcopal missionary, was the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. On that day he arrived here nd began his work, the result of which is cow manifested in the vigorous and progressive membership of Christ Church. This incident suggested to the Bishop the relations of Christianity to patriotism, on which he based an exhortation to Christians to hold the interests of their country near to their hearts. In sustaining patriotic impulses and duties the church can do a great deal, for one of its features has always been a reverence for law and order, and conservation of constituted authorities. lie also exhorted his hearers to stand closely to the mother and larger church, and closed his sermon by eloquently reciting the hymn, "Oh, Mother, Dear Jerusalem." Following the sermon the holy communion was observed, in hich a larger number of communicants than nsua! took part. Among them was Mrs. Deborah Moore, who is supposed to be one of two . erisinal parishioners now living, the other being Jacob B. McChesney. In the afternoon the exercises of the Sundayschool were in keeping with the day. In 1837 his branch of Christ's Church work beean with three teachers and thirteen scholars. It Dow has six hundred scholars, with a corresponding increase in teachers. R. R. Parker gave an account of the present mission school which is nourished by Christ Church, after which bishop Kniekerbacker catechized the scholars . nd found them, as he said, exceedingly profizient. An interesting incident was the intro- , luction to the school by Dr. Bradley, the rector, tf the two oldest scholars. One was Miss Emily Upfold, daughter of the deceased Bishop. She belonged to the first Sanday school organized in the parish, and eave a brief account of the incidents of that time, one of which related to the first Christmas tree festival given in Indianapolis. Isaac H. Kiersted was the other oldest lcbolar. His experiences with the school dates back forty-six years. Bishop Tuttle closed the exercises with an address on the value of the Sunday-school in missionary work. In the evening the church was again crowded to hear addresses from Bishops Kniekerbacker nd Tuttle in regard to the developement of the missionary soirit in the Protestant Episcopal Church. The former confined his statements and statistics to its growth in Indiana, while the latter spoke especially of the causes that . awakoned the church to this work. Preceding them Dr. Bradley read a short statistical account of the progress of the parish. Mr. Britton began his services with seven members, but at the close of his first year he had thirty. Since then there have been baptized 1,756 persons, while 976 were confirmed. During the fifty years there were B37 marriages and C27 burials. The church has now the largest number of communicants, 409, it has had at any one time. For the first twenty years no record of the church offerings was kept, but daring the past thirty years these amount to 134,670. 76. In his address Bishop Kniekerbacker said the first missionary,, effort in the interest of the Episcopal Church in Indiana was by Rev. Mr. PfeiSferin 1825. The first baptism occurred at that time. After that occasional services were held by Rev. Mr. Shaw, then Bishop Williams, out from Connecticut, and then went to Crawfordsville, thence into Wisconsin and the great Northwes' James Britton, of Philadelphia, educated I 'ew York, went to Louisville and then united with the church. After that he earae here and remained four rears. lie is now In California enjoying in hi3 old age the fruits of a well spent life. Not long ago he sent to the Bishop a decayed prayer book taken from the corner-stone of the first Episcopal church erected in this city. It is now kept in the archives of the ' Diocese. The first vestry of Christ Church was elected August 1, 1837. and on the 22d of the May foljuvriuir mo corner-none oi me nrst vnurcn was laid. , When this church was completed it was the best in the State, and its steeple, considered architecturally perfect, became the model for many steeples throughout Indiana. The first Services ware held in the church Nov. 13. 1837, and on the 16th of the next month the consecration ceremonies by Bishop Embar occurred. Bishop Talbot erected the present church edifice at a cost of $20,000, and its chimes were given to itlnl8Gl. The Bishop regretted that the church had not come in with the establishing of the Territory. Much to had been lost to Eoiscopalianism on that account Indiana was for years a State and had 500.000 people before tbe missionary work by the Episcopal Church was begun within her borders. It should have begun with the tidal wave of immigration. This failure was the cause of all the trouble in the progress of the church at this time, as it was difficult to recover lost eround. He then briefly touched upon the Indiana missionary visitations of Bishop Chase, of Ohio, Bishop Ember, Dr. Roosevelt Johnson and his cousin, Rev. D. B. M. Johnson, Dr. Solon Manny and others. But notwithstanding the drawbacks tbe church in Indiana bad made wonderful progress. Bisbop Tuttle said that what has been done in Indiana is typical of the work in the East and other parts of the country. The Episcopal chnreh In America at the close of the Revolutionary war was weighted down with disabilities, one of which was that the church was considered in sympathy with King George, and that its members were tories. The English church early sent missionaries into tbe field, but no bishops. Deprived of these officials the church lacks power and fullness. Nothing of anepisco-, jial character conld be performed except at Londou. At a meetine of the American clergymen and bishops in 1S35 a discussion on missionary work took place, and from this came a spirit that has made every man, woman and thild in the church a missionary. It pervades the whole church, and the result is shown that Ihe best missionaries are to be found in tbe Aome. the w ife, mother and sweetheart. Again, the man who is steady in Christian faith and honesty in the marts of trade or centers of exchange preaches better the gospel of the Master than any minUter. The second influence in Strengthening the missionary work was the appointment of missionary bishops. They have become foremost in carrying to the West and South the authority, richness and fullness of the church. He illustrated this by his own wor. in uian, wnere the missionaries are prospering in churches and schools. He believed in ioneer work. It was the Methodists who, appreciating this, took off their coats and, going to work, have deservedly become the strong ones of to-day. To-morrow evening there will be more addresses and the reading of two letters of reminiscences connected with the parish. One of them bs been received from Rev. James Britton and tbe other from Moses Hunter. Services of the AilveotliU. The camp-meeting of the Seventh-day Adventists is now fairly under way. The tents, numbering more than a hundred, are all in laee, ranged in streets about the meeting tent except on the south. From llut side the place

looks somewhat like the pictures of the camp of Israel during the journey in the wilderness. Everything appears very clean and neat, and a systematic endeavor to keep things so is noticeable. Vehicles are not permitted within the track which encircles the camp, and at the Various approaches are posted the sign "No Smoking Allowed on the crounds." Yesterday quite a large number of people from the city visited tbe crounds and attended the services, which, by tbe way, do cot differ materially from the services of Protestant Churches, except in the doctrine preached. The . meetings yesterday were - all for worship. It will perhaps aid the reader to understan d some passages in the discourses below to know that this sect does not hold to the immortality of the soul in tbe ordinary significance of the term. At death they believe that the soul or body, which are considered identical, disintegrates by natural processes, while the spirit or vital principle returns to God, whence it came. At the final judgment those who have attained purity of life through faith are raised to immortality in 6pritual form. The wicked are not brought to judgment before God, but are disposed of by Christ and the angels. The judgment of the righteous, to investigate their qualifications for eternal life, are conducted by God, and hav$ been in progress since 1844, the ending of definite prophetic time. In the morning Elder R. A. Underwood preached from the text, "Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the war everlasting." Psalms exxxix, 23,24. He said: "It is evident that David's head was touched, because to ask that one's heart be searched is evidence of a longing to taste and experience the love of Christ. This fact should come home to us as a people. The investigative judgment that is the judgement of tbe righteous, bolieved to be in progress in heaven since 1841, in reference to the cases of the livine is liable to come at any time. - We oueht to breathe this pray er of David's. 'Search me, O God, and know my heart,' and then God and the angels will come near and show us our wickedness. But whether this prayer be breathed or not, the Lord is searching His people, and therefore the people presented to God in tbe last days will be perfect, free from sin; and the seal of God will be placed on that class only. What, then, is God's standard? In Revelations a miehtv aneel is "snoken

'of who declares that time shall be no longer; that is to eay, prophetic time, the end of which proclaims the judgment. This angel bade John measure the temple of God with a reed, which we understand to be the law of God, and the measurement of tbe temple is the in vesication by us of the Scripture in reference to the service of Christ in the sanctuary in heaven. This reed or standard is laid by tbe side of our character in this investigation, and must be in harmony with it. Again, a company of saints is brought to. view in Revelations as living in the last days, and keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We as a people come far short of being perfect in this respect. That people, to be in harmony with the reed, or law of God. not only obey and advocate the law of God, but raise it as a stanaara. it win be that company who are able to stand firm to the end, and say as the sign of the Son of Man appears in heaven, ?Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him.' That company will not be taken by surprise. But some will be overtaken as a thief. When I was younger I thought the advent was the most solemn period mentioned in the Bible, but now I do not. Tbe investigative judgment now taking place, in which the eternal fate of all the righteous, living and dead, is being decided is more solemn than will be the coming of Chist to gather his saints. Thousands do not and will not know of this judgment, but will be absorbed in their daily vocations, even after the end of this judgment is -reached. We are truly living in solemn times, and God desires to bring His people up to a higher standard, and he has not been unmindful that we need more help. We often hear the expression 'I lost my patience.' The trouBle is, that party had no patience to lose. It was a providence of God to show them that they had none, in answer to their prayer to be tried. To ask God to show us our hearts, or ask Him that our hearts may be searched, is asking for something that will come very close. When Job was tried he did not know his heart. None do until they are tried. When the devil tries us he always attacks our weakest points. When God tries us He comes to us where we think we are tbe strongest, and keeps testing and testing us. This is seen in the cases of both David and Peter. A man in the dark thinks himself in pretty good condition. Take the case of Isaiah, who has as clean and perfect record as any prophet in the Bible, but be tells us that he saw angels standing before God covering their faces and their feet, crying holy! holy! holy! Did he feel clean in such company No, indeed, for he cried: 'Woe is me,' or, as the margiual reading, is 'I am undone.' When an electric light is far off you see it, but you stand in the darkness, but as yon draw near you see yourself clearly. So it is with us, the more we see our own defects; and when God is doing the most for us we feel the most distress from that very fact Feeling good is no sign of safety. When God begins to distress you he begins to bring you to him." The speaker then made an exhortation to the brethren to labor in the field for the conversion of others to tae truth. In the afternoon Elder George B. Starr preached on the importance of individual character in the sight of God, founding his discourse on II Tim. ii, 20 to 22, and Ezekiel xiv, 12 to 2a He said that for eternal salvation the development of a rigrbteous character was essential. No man could be served without faith in Christ, without repentance for his sins, or without conversion; but faith was essential, because with out it no man could form a character which was acceptable to God. Faith does not consist merely in protestation. "There are," be said, "a great many people who say they have faith, when, in fact, they have nothing but presumption. James says: 'Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.' Many who profess faith will appear before the Lord, and will be commanded. 'Show me thy faith.' They will say 'Lord, have we cot prophesied in thy name, and in thy came done many wonderful works?' and he will answer, 'Ah yes, I heard you talking, bnt I never knew you. Show me thy faith.' What is religion for if it makes no change in our lives? Some say Christ came to save us, but I do cot think so, and you will agree with me. If that were all, the Universalian doetrine is the best, for if God is omnipotent and wants to eave us he will do it. Christ came to save us from our sins, and give us grace to obey the law, and aid us to form characters that will please God and honor Him. It could be neither pleasure nor honor to God to admit into His presence a character totally at variance with- His law. It is not enough to begin well. Paul says, 'For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.' God helps you in forming your character by tryin? you and thus strengthening your weak points. You must subdue and bring into harmony the natural man. Take temper, for example. It in a good thing in its place, but it is not a good thing in your fist or on the end of your tongue. The place you need it is along your spinal column. Then it becomes courage, and enables you to bear ub in time of trial. Many Christians start out very zealous. Moses started that way. When he was called he wanted to commence at once, and when he saw the Leyptian strurgling with the Israelite be fell upon him and slew bim. What did the Lord do with him? He sent him out to be a shepherd for forty years. That was the kind of training he needed. When a hog or a mule, or a cow runs away, the owner is very apt to beat it when be catches it, bnt who ever heard of a man beating a sheep? When he gets it, although it may have led him a wearisome chase in its fright, it looks so innocent that he just picks it up and carries it back to the fold. Men have to b treated in much the same way, and after Moses had forty years' of instruction in patience ho was considered fit for his task. Character is not developed in a day. 1 do not believe in the sanctiScation that is obtained in a few minutes. The trouble is that that kind of sanctification leaves you just as quickly when you need it most What is needed is something that lasts better. A man may say he is sanctified but if you want to know whether he is or not ask his wife and hi children. If he is they will know it James says: "The trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." So Paul says that tribulation worked patience. It requires time for development You must learn to deny yourselves, but on the other hand do not fall into eovetousness. Some men, when they experience religion, quit spending their money foolishly and go to hoarding it There is very little improvement in that Selfishness is the worst sin, because it is the cause of all other sins. It is selfishness that makes a man prefer his own will to the will of God. I believe that the more sanctified a man gets the less he talks about it The more he contemplates the life of Christ, which is put before bim as a model, the more he sees his own imperfections, and realizes the necessity of stronger effort to reach the goal of perfection. To-day there will be a lesson or discourse of an historical nature at 10 o'clock in the morning, and preaching at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Preparations are being made for a reception tent, where visitors who may desire to remain from one meeting to another may find temporary shelter. Mrs. Macmlllan's Singine at Meridian Church. Tbe announcement that Mrs. Nellie Belhs Macmillan would sing attracted a large number of her friends to Meridian-street Church yesterday morning. They were not disappointed. It was tLe earns rich contralto voice that had so often

given pleasure to Indianapolis audiences in days past, somewhat mellowed and strengthened by the training of her years abroad. Compliments were heard on all sides, both for tfie singer and for the accompanist. Mr. StoweiL . Ten Accessions to Memorial Church. Communion services were held at Memorial Presbyterian Church yesterday, and were largely attended by members of the congregation. During the day there were ten accessions to the congregation. CHILD EEX OF TIIE PUBLIC.

A Large Gathering: of Citizens Consider Methods of Systematic Work for Their EelieL There was quite a large gathering at ,Y. M. G A. Hall last evening to consider the condition of the homeless children of the city, and make preparations for more systematic work for their relief and education. The programme was opened with the anthem, "Praise Ye the Lord,'' by the choir of St Paul's Church, which also furnished the music during tbe evening. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. R Jordan, after which the choir sang "There's Music in the Air." . , , Rev. J. S. Jenckes announced the purpose of tho meeting, and introduced Mr. W. De M. Hooper, who gave a sketch of the work among the Dews boys fcp to the present time. He said that nineteen or twenty months ago the Y. W. C T. U. made arrangements to open a temporary home in the basement under the Temperance Union lunch room. Not more than fifteen er twenty ladies engaged in the work, and their labor was a free-will offering. The boys were furnished with good reading, a warm room during the day, and with meals at acual cost. They had also a night-school and a Sundav-schooL There were, however, no sleeping accommodations, and as the weather grew colder it seemed so cruel to turn them out into the streets, when the room was closed at 9 o'clock, that it was determined to make some other arrangement The boys improved slowly. The management never obtained a hold on them until the burial of. Jonny Macon, who was killed by the cars. Then they began to realize that they bad friends. Ia the meantime the license system was adopted, and within a year 550 licenses were taken out On Sept. 10, 1886, the home was moved to its present location and sleeping accommodations were provided. From then to Christmas not a newsboy or bootblock was before the Mayor, though previously they had been arrested almost daily for petty offenses. Colonel Ritter was next introduced. He had read a report issued by tbe German government, showing what it cost to raise a man, and what a man was worth to the government after he was raised. ne considered it cheaper to raise a good man than a bad one. It was also cheaper to raise a man good than to change him when he had been raised bad. The effort required to reform one criminal would prevent five or six from becoming criminals if made when they had not become hardened. Convince a boy that be has no friends and be is i a criminal from that day. The people of this city ought to see that no boy is left homeless; no boy or girl should be permitted to feel that he or she is without friends. Mr. E. W. Half ord spoke briefly, contrasting the large amount of money cheerfully spent in reformatory work with the small amount doled out for preventive work. Hon. S. J. Peelje said the object of the institution was not merely to furnish food and clothing bnt also to build character. The good and evil of one generation are transmitted to tbe next He demonstrated that the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and other cations were in favor of raising children properly, and declared that he favored compulsory education. At the eonelnsion of Mr. Peelle's remarks Colonel Hogeland was introduced, and for nearly an hour, late as it was, entranced the audidience with the rehearsal of his work in caring for and finding hemes for homeless and friendless boys and girls. Many of the incidents were thrilling in their recital, and there were few dry eves, either among the men or women. The Colonel alluded to the fact that society has the most elaborate and costly machinery for sending boys and men to the jails and penitentiaries, and for taking care of them while there, but has made little or no provision for keeping them out and making good citizens of them. It is to this work that he is devoting his time', and it is this work be desires to properly organize in Indianapolis. There are 64,000 convicts in the penitentiaries of the eountry, and it costs $2,000 to send each one of them there. Would it not be better to spend a little to keep even one out of the prison and make a useful and productive citizen of him? The Colonel's manner of speaking is his own. It is inimitable, and forcible, and deeply interesting. It is a pity he did not have the hall crowded to listen to his facts and anecdotes. When Mr. Hogeland was tbrongb, it was deemed better. to call another preliminary meeting for this afternoon at half past three o'clock, at the Newsboys' Home, 23 West Ohio street, when arrangements will be made to perfect an organization, and for another public meeting as soon as possible, which Mr. Hogeland can address. All persons interested in any phase of the work for the homeless and friendless youth of tbe city are earnestly requested to be present at the meeting this afternoon, at half past three. Colonel Hogeland will be present and speak, and it will be well worth the time of any dociv to near mm. A numoer or persons expressed their intention 1o join the organization as soon as it could be perfected. Miss Lottie Adam sang a beantiful and appropriate solo, after which Rev. Dr. Jenckes dismissed the audience with the benediction. CHESS-PLATERS AND PLAY1XG. At the banquet last week given by the New York Chess Club, in honor of Capt ; Mackenzie, the latter was toasted as the champion of the world. The Captain conld not quite believe it The club received two applications for membership last week and a donation of five dollars to add to its prosperity. Interest in the game increases as the long winter evenings approach. Levi Brown and J. W. Saulsbury, of Anderson, were visitors at the local club rooms last week. They report that Henry C. Brown will probably represent their county here at the coming State tournament. Henry C. Brown, of Anderson, the recognized champion by actual play over the board of Madison county, spent Saturday at the club rooms in thiv city, winning most of the games played. With C D. Thompson the result was one each. Hon. Edward Gough, of Boonville. represent ing Warrick county in the Legislature, after spendine many days at the club, said there is much stronger play at the eame in Indianapolis than any found by him in southwestern Indiana. Game Ending Can black draw? White Pawns at K R 6. QB 3, Q Kt 4, Q R 2. Rooks at K Kt 2. and Q R 6. King at KB 2. Black Pawn at K R 2. Rooks at K B 4 and King a Kfng at K R eq". White to move, accepted a draw, thinking black could perpetually check. The ten-game match between Ripley and Willett has been won by the latter, the score standing Ripley 1, and Willett 6. the former resigning. The result will be transmitted to the State association. Mr. Willett is ready to play any other member of the State association. The score between him and Mr. Long is, Long 3, Willett 3. J. G. Sutton, of Richmond, and Capt A. F. McCoy, of Greensbure, spent several evenings at the club and promised to come again. The former had jast returned from Ft Wayne, where he bad played several games with Paul F. Aunne, wno won tne prize at tne last winter tournament He reports that Mr. Kubne is discouraged by his present play. There is talk of changing the mode of conduction the State tournaments, since the State association is now firmly on its feet, in such a way as to admit in tbe major class only those who have won the championships in their respective clubs or localities, thereby providing for county or district contests, and making it a privilege and a distinction to be able to enter. But there is some opposition to the plan. M. V. Miller Still Missiog. Minneapolis. Oct 2. Nothing has been heard from M. V. Miller, the missine member of the board of trustees of Brookings, D. T., College. It is generally believed that he has left purposely, and will not return. His family is greatly distressed. Mrs. Miller has given a chattel mortgage on personal property as security on a claim against her husband. It seems Miller had more moaey than was at first supposed. Cardinal Gibbons. St. Pactu Oct 2. Hundreds were unable to gain admission to the Cathedral this morning, when Cardinal Gibbons preached upon "Charity." The Cardinal left for Portland, Ore., this afternoon, accompanied by Bishop Brandel, of Montana, Bishop Marty, of Dakota, and Dr. Chapelle, of Washington. Its thousands of cures are the best advertisement for Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedj.

A statue cf Voltaire wag recently unveiled at St Claude, the pretty town mountain-locked in the. French Jura. The inhabitants are all Voltaireans, and this is what their saint did for them. The valley in which St Claude is situated contained, in 1770, a population of 12,000, completely mountained out from the world. They were serfs, owned bv the Benedictine monks, by a treaty alleged to have been granted by obsolete popes and allegorical kings. Tbe inhabitants asserted that tbe monarchical title deeds had been forged. In 1770 the original charter of the peasants was accidentally discovered, and a suit was instituted to eject the wealthy and powerful Benedictines. Dr. Chriatin pleaded the legal side, and Voltaire held the monks up to scorn for their oppressive cruelties toward their 12,000 serfs, Ttois was the only part of France where the secular yoke of the Church ruled. Voltaire drew the attention of Louis XV to the fact that their petitions to his Majesty had been unheeded. "Your ancestor St Louis," he said to the King of France, "went to the East to emancipate Christiau slaves, while there were 12.000 in bondage in France; the Church sent missionaries to. Morocco, Tunisia and Alreria to rescue Christians from Mohammedan pirates, while no mercy messenger was delegated to Saint

Fuchsia Buds And What One of Our Leading Business Men Thinks of Them. Mr. F. S. Newby, Manager National Specific Co.: Dear Sir I have been using your remedy, FUCHSIA BUDS, as occasion required for about one month. I was troubled with constipation and biliousness; I also used them in my family, aad I must say that they are the best remedy I ever used. I am entirely relieved of my trouble; am -feeling better than I have for years. In fact. I have received more benefit from the use of FUCHSIA BUDS than 1 eyer received from all other remedies combined. One box of FUCHSIA BUDS is equal to a doctor for a whole year. I would not think of being without them, and I wilg gladly answer all inquiries in referenc to them. I can give them my unqualified indorsement. Very truly yours.

GEORGE A. TELEPHONE 725. Claude." Tbe land agents of the monks indulged in the jurisprudence of the Goths and Huns. On the death of a husband the widows and orphans were ejected, and their goods and chattels sold to pay doctors, apothecaries and clerical fees; the children were beaten into cripples if they murmured; the parents were not allowed to possess arms to. defend themselves against the wolves, so that often they had to assist at these animals devouring their children under their eyes. The butcher declined to eive credit for meat, the baker for bread, and the draper for cloth, because the serf's property was claimed by the monks as the legal heirs. If a serf died in debt, after he was interred he was exhumed, his hand cut off hence "Mort-main" and paraded as an example to the living not to deprive the monks of their expectations. Again, if a girl, on being married, did not pass the bridal eight under her father's roof, but preferred to go to her new home, she became forever disqualified to inherit any parental property. A stranger, if he resided one year and a day in the valley, became a serf, and by right of "pursuit the monks claimed on his death all his inheritance, no matter where situated. Voltaire, In his La Voix du Cure, set forth these wrongs in thoughts that breathed and words that burned. He gave the names of these serfs, victims of these oppressions, and in 1771 the serfs won their emancipation. TIIE SUNFLOWER CHORUS. Something JCew la the Way of an Evenings Entertainment. October St. Nicholas. There was a church festival in Hensonvale, and this is the way in which Miss Belle Abbott introduced a new feature into the well-worn list or such entertainments. A placard was prominently displayed at the festival reading: ! something new. don't fail to ses it. - .... All were kept in mystery until the appointed time, when the manager, stepping before the curtain, spoke of the statue of Memnon in Egypt, which was aceustomed to greet the ris ing sun with song. "iiore oDiigmg tnan juemnon," ne said, "cer tain stately American sunflowers have been found ready and willing to sing whenever called upon. Ladies and gentlemen," he added, "I have been fortunate enough to secure for our festival a cluster of these remarkable additions to our native flora, and have tbe honor of pre senting to you our bunllower Chorus." Anesiowjy arawn curtain revealed upon a dark Daekgreund thirteen large, yellow sun flowers, with leaves and stalks complete, and in tbe center of each a human face. Music came from the piano near the stage, and to its accom paniment th6 cluster ef human sunflowers sang numerous selections from familiar operas, pop ular songs ana melodies, ana college glees. ine ounnewer unorus was voted a great success, and those not in the secret begged Miss Abbott to tell them how it was done. And this was her explanation: r .1 i ; 3.1 . . . udb iooi utuiaa ms siajt curtain, nangs an other curtain or dark-brown cambric, ten feet square; attach this by rings to a wire stretched nine feet from the floor; tie cords to tbe first and last rings, and, drawing the curtain tightly, fasten these rings to the wall on each side. The top being now secured, let the curtain hang nat urally; wrap the surplus cloth about a strip of wood twelve feet lone, two inches wide, and one inch think; fasten this to tbe floor by two large screws, and the fiewer screen will be tightly stretenea. Group the singers in a picturesque cluster be hind the screen, with their faces pressed against tne eiotn, ana at distances rrom the floor varving from one to eight feet; mark the position of each face, and cut, in the screen a hole into which the face will closely fit Going now to the front of the screen, arrange the flowers and leaves, which should be fully prepared beforehand. The rays of the sunflowers may be cut from yellow paper, and the leaves and stalks from creen paper. Paste the rays around the openings, then arrange the stalks and leaves in proper position. When the paste is dry, remove tbe strip of wooa rrom me oottomoi tne screen, unfasten one or tbe cords at the top and slide it back until needed for use, when it may be easily put into position. In summer the natural stalks and leaves of the sunflower may be used instead of those made rrom paper. The Hamburg "Cure." Chsnncer M. Dertew.

At 11 you take your bath. The temperature is about ninety, and there is turned into the tub a bottle full of a pine tree decoction, about the consistency of winter molasses, and this turns the water to the color of ink. You stay in the bath twenty minutes and come out lookinr like a Scandinavian pirate and smelling like a Norwegian forest I stood two days of this and then quit When yon keep it up for three weeks tbe doctor says you hate been saved from collapse and you will not have any trouble if you come back next year."
