the State Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon.Orlando L.Martin, of Plainfleld, printed elsewhere in this paper, will be found to be well worth a careful perusal.Mr.Martin is an efficient and progressive official and is very much in earnest in his efforts to develop the agricaltural resources of Vermont.His suggestion that farm- erg\u2019 institutes be abulished, and movable schools of agriculture be subati- tuted therefor, would seem to be a sensible one.At least it is worth trying as the institute does not appear to be a popular feature.For those who capnot attend the State Agricultural College the school offers many help- fui features and affords new ideas for the wideawake farmer.It is interesting to learn that the small attempt at advertising Vermont, by means of issuing a list of available farme, has resulted in inquiries from all parts of the United States.The warning againat the peril of the San Jose scale ia one that cannot be ignored with safety.Unless the most diligent efforts are employed to root out this dangerous plant disease many of the orchards of the state will have to be sacrificed.It is encouraging to learn that in some parts of the state increased attention is being given to apple growing and Mr.Martin is justified in asserting that Vermont should come to the front in the raising of this fruit.It will be news to many to learn that Vermont keeps more dairy cows to the acre than any other state in the Union, producing nearly as much butter and three times as much cheese as all the other five New England states.! The Journal believes that special training in agricnlture in the country schools as suggested, is an excellent idea, just as it believes in manual training in city and village schools, There are a great many interesting and helptal facts that may be told coneerning life on the farm that will be helpful later in life and that may tend to keep the boys in the country.The tendency of the times is to make our system of education more practical.Anything that will make more intelligent and progressive farmers will be of benefit to all classes of people.The volume is filled with instructive material.Every Vermont farmer should secure a copy of this report, read it carefully and then put into praetice the good advice it contains.\u2014 Montpelier Journal.Apple Raising in Vermont.Au enthusiastic apple grower from the Connecticut valley makes the statement that Vermont is the ideal state for apple culture.He declares tbat the great orchards in the Champlain valley are the result, not of unusual atmospheric conditions, as many bave believed, bnt rather of scientific knowledge of orchardry and the application of modern methods.It is true that a great many orchards in the Otter Creek valley are imperfectly cultivated, most of the yield being left, in fact, to nature.Nature needs to be assisted in these days, and every farmer who owns & Vermont orchard ought to get in touch with better ways of doing things.When he does, he will make money, a lot of it, and lake breezes won\u2019t even be missed.\u2014Rut- land Herald.\u201cMy Brother's Keeper.\u201d The Morristown boy

Bostou Transoript, which is in part, as follows: \u2018Bishop A.OC.A.Hall is well known to Boston as an earnest and devoted current ecclesiastical questions are bound to receive serious consideration.His utterances at the New England Missionary Conference in Hartford would be remarkable coming from any denominational champion, but they are especially so in the mouth of one affiliated to the high church section in the Episcopal communion.Bishop Hall summons the Congregationalists of New England to upite with the Episcopal Church in \u201cone catholic and apostolic faith?\u2019 so as to save wasted and divided resources, and at the same time to show to the world the power of a living faith.If he is correctly reported, he offers to throw overboard the Thirty- nine Articles and the title \u2018Episcopal.\u2019 He would allow also variety of worship if only the sacrament of baptism and the Lord\u2019s Sapper are observed.It is suggested that conferences between Congregationalists and Epie- copalians should be beld all over New England with a view to discovering whether these terms or what other terms may be acceptable.\u201cIt such a union should come about it would be one of the greatest victories that the religious has achieved over the sectarian spirit.It is lamentable to reflect that two churches which in all the essentials of the Christian faith are absolutely one, should in our day perpetrate ancient feuds and prejudices, It is safe to say that if these two great Christian bodies were In some way united such a unification would mark a revival of interest in religion in New England greater than any since the eighteenth century.\u201d In a way the two churches represent extremes in Protestantism, the Episcopal Church standing for authority and ritualism, and the Congregational denomination for the widest liberty of the individual, and an absence of ritualistic worship.Nevertheless the suggestion is a hopeful one.There is a great waste of effort and money caused by the multiplicity of denominations.- There should be some method of union whereby those who hold in common the same fundamental beliefs might unite for more efficient service.It seems to the average layman that there are many denominational doctrines that are in no sense vital that divide Christians into a number of sects unpeceararily large.We are progressing slowly toward greater toleration.It is not many centuries ago that a difference in creed was enough to send a man to the headsman\u2019s block.Within the memory of men and women living minor points of doctrine were sufficient to cause exceedingly bitter and un-Christian disputes And family estrangements.The Journal believes that this intolerance is passing away and it earnestly hopes that out of the efforts of leaders like Bishop Hall a measure, at least, of Christian unity may be secured and the cause of righteousness advanced.\u2014Montpelier Journal.- The Summer Tourist Crop.The Manchester (N.H.) Mirror and Farmer last week contained an article on \u201cNew England Prosperity\u201d\u2019 which all Vermonters might read with profit in which that paper says: \u201cThere are those who seem to believe that New England is not pro- grossing in rural development because there are not so many bushels of corn, wheat and oats grown here as were grown half a century ago, but rural progrees is being made in other directions.The summer business, for which New England is specially adapted, is going ahead by \u2018leaps and bounds,\u2019 and in no previous season has so much money been left in Now England from tbis source as in the season just closed.\u2018The fact is, every section of the country must depend for prosperity upon the development of the business for which it is specially adapted.It would be ridiculous to establish a summer business upon the prairies of the West, and it would be equally ridiculous to make New England a great cereal producing section.The climate and scenery of New England make this section of the country a great summer resort, and the more that is done to encourage this business the more is done to increase its- prosperity.At least one-fourth of the entire population of the country can reach the base of Mt.Washington by a day\u2019s ride and this makes the Mt, Washington region of great value as à aummer resort.\u201cIt is true that as many bushels of corn per acre are grown here asin any section of the country, bat if other things pay better, why should we grow corn to the exclusion of other things?The sensible course is to onter to those things that yield the greatest profit, for that will most of- feotually promote prosperity.This ceems to de the policy of New Bag- subjeet of church unity, appeared in 8 religious leader.Any words of his on land rural interests and ie resulting in promoting rural prosperity in a remarkable degree.\u201d This ie the doctrine that The Jour- pal has been frying to preach to its readers, that we should center ont energies upon the things that we can do best, in other words follow the line of least resistance.The thing that we need to dwell upon is the importance of securing for Vermont her share of the lucrative summer business, and Vermont's share should be as large, at least, as (tbat of any other state.We ought to start a thorough and systematic campaign of education\u2014education of our own people that they may realize their opportunities, and education of the great tourist public that they may become acquainted with the varied and splendid attractions Vermont offers to tourists.All that the New Hampshire con- tempory says of the nearness of the Mount Washington region to the centers of population may be said with equal force of Vermont resorts, A ride ot a few hours wil) bring tourists to nearly every part of this etate.It is true that we need more improved trunk line highways, but State Highway Commissioner Gates is making marked improvements.We ought to give him more money to use but he has accomplished mach with the funds at his disposal, Already & large automobile tourist business has grown up in the state but it would reach much larger proportions with better highways.Without neglecting the development of our agricultural and industrial resources we shoald cultivate with diligence the summer tourist crop.\u2014 Montpelier Journal.Mason 8.Stone.There seems to be a tendency in some quarters to belittle State Superintendent Mason 8.Stone.We are not surprised at thie for nothing so much disturbes the ordinary Vermont community as a really live man.And certainly Mr.Stone is very much alive and with a knowledge of the state\u2019s possibilities and conditions such as is possessed by very few.He has had the courage and the ability to present the truth which has not always been flattering to those addressed and we believe that as the yeare go by his work will be the more generally appreciated.\u2014Springfield Reporter.FTER DOCTORS FAILED Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound Cured Her.Toronto, Canada.\u2014*I shall endeavor to describe to you how I felt before I began taking Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.I scarcely knew what Ît was to be well.I had awful bearing-down pains and usually before mymonthlyperiods 1 suffered terribly and had to go to bed.Iwasnotable to walk across the floor the pain was so bad.I doctored for a long time, but the doctor's treatment did not do me any good.1 gaveup ÿ all hopes of ever being well again until one day myhusbarid saw the Compound advertised in the paper.He ecided to get me a bottle, and 1 am thankful he did.I had not taken one bottle before I began to feel better, and I kept on taking it until now !

newspapers.That hope was lost months ago and the hope of cheap prices for any other necessity of life is rapidly vanishing.\u2019 \u201cThe above \u2018lamentation\u2019 is from The Montpelier Journal.Why this pessimistic bewaillng?What if meat is high, and butter and eggs are dear?Don\u2019t everybody prosper when the farmer gets good prices for his produce?\u201d\u2014Morrieville News and Citizen.Mt will not be a dificult matter to demonstrate the fact that all persons do not prosper when farmers get high prices.Ask the great army of men and women who work for salaries and wages and they will tell you that the high prices of the necessities of life are a very serious hardship.The increase in the cost of living far outstrips any advances in the incomes of the great army of consumers.If the advance were equally distributed there would be no hardship, but in that case where would there be any When flour and meat, butter and egge, clothing and shoes, and the various necessities of lite cost more and more there must be less buying somewhere along the line.There are certain things that every family must buy, but when food, clothing, rent, and fuel cost more there is less money in the family treasury to buy the many articles that add to tho comfort and enjoyment of life, but which can be dispensed with.Of course, in many instances, a cheaper quality of food and a cheaper grade of clothing must .be purchased.There are many instances where salaries and wages have advanced lit- tie if any, during the past ten years, while the cost of living bas increased probably a third during that period the result amounting in reality to a reduction in income as the purchasing power has decreased.The result of this increase in the cost of living has been a feeling that the action of trusts and combinations, the speculation in the great staples of commerce and high tariff duties in some way were respondble for conditions.The farmer benefits to a certain extent from high prices but he must pay more for much that he has to buy and it those who consume what he has to sell, buy in smaller quantities than they would if prices were lower, his profits are still further reduced.It will be a difficult matter to convince the average mau and woman that the present era of high prices is resulting in a desirable or healthy oondition of affairs.\u2014Montpelier

believe in the old saying that lightning never strikes twice in the same place was demonstrated last night, when they deserted the church at the approach of an electric storm.The church steeple had been struck by lightning three times this summer and it was only on Saturday that workmen finished repairing domage caused by the last boit.A song service was in progress when the storm broke last night and by twos and threes the people in the church began to make their way to the door.Finally the pastor found he was alhost alone and stopping the singing he sald: \u201cIn view of the fact that half of the congregation has left the church and that a storm is impending we will close the services without further delay.\u201d That ended the exercises and within another minute the church had

thermometer at 140 degrees Fahr heit On the coast of this island, where practically all of the people live, there is no fresh water, which is needed above all things in so seething a temperature.And

depends on SEEING THINGS AT NIGHT, Why.Objects Appear Fantastic and Alarming.Every one must at times have asked bimself why familiar objects in a dim light tend to assume fantastic and oltentimes alarming appearances.The explanation is to be found in the special conditions of night vision.The pupils are widely dilated and, as in the photographic lens with a large diaphragm, the apparatus of accommo dation ean only focus for one plane.As the faculty of estimating distances 18 in great measure lost in the obscurity we cannot focus with precision, and a blurred, uncertain outline is thrown upon the retina.Then, too, colors viewed in a fading light lose their distinguishing hue in a fixed sequence until a point is reached at which everything becomes of one uniform gray tint.It follows that the images which are transmitted to the visual centers are profoundly modified in color and out line, and as they enter the eye through the widely dilated pupil at an altogether unusual angle the movement of locomotion gives them a peculiar mobility.Now, one relles on experience for the interpretation of sensorial impressions, and when these present them- pelves suddenly in an unusual form they create a feeling of insecurity which finds expression in mental per turbation and more or less violent motor impulsion.In fact, the subject finds himself in the position of a horse which sees a rapidly advanciag automobile for t#@ first time and does not know what to make of ît.Imagination aiding, these blurred, mobile and uncertain images are sus ceptible of the most phantasmagoric interpretation, and in persons who are not accustomed to control sensori- al impressions by the exercise of the intelligence the impressions are ac cepted as realities and acted upon ac cordingly.° Gamekeepers and others who are accustomed to night work make allowance for phenomena of this clags and correct the visual deficiency by the aid of other senses, such as bhear- ing, which are not dependent on light.Disappointed.Negroes, even more than white people, perhaps, are given to counting their chickens before they are hatch ed.A correspondent of The Youth's Companion reports a

BEQUESTS.While he lived John Stewart Kennedy was one of the most far-sighted and masterful of New York\u2019s moneymakers, but he also was one of its most geperous and intelligent stewards of wealth, giving it away in many continents if thereby he might further the causes of education, religion, philanthropy and art.Hence, the revelation of his far-reaching influence as a capitalist, associated with men like James J.Hill and Lord Strathcons, that has come since his death, bas occasioned more surprise than will the superb bequests of his last will and testament, just made known.Compare with his sense of stewardship and social obligation the terms of the Harriman will.The Scotch are a great race for acquiring wealth, and a great folk for giving it once moved to begin that role by the

: Maybew ASSAULTED AND OUTRAGED.Seven-year-old Bertha Tin Taken from Street and Almost Killad\u2014Villains Hacape Across the Border, But were Run Down.CITIZENS JOINED IN CHASE.A shocking outrage\u2014one of the most revolting incidents in the criminal history of this country\u2014ocourred in the usual peacetul village of Stan- stead Plain, almost within the glow of of its electric lights, early Friday evening.The victim waslittle Bertha Tiffin, the seven-year-old daughter of Mr.A.H.Tiffin, ex-postmaster at Stanstead, and a well-known citizen of this place.The Tiffin home is located on the Barnston road, half a mile from the Terrill turn at the north end of the main street.SENT TC POST-OFFICE.Shortly after ive o'clock Mrs.Tit- fin sent the little girl to the post-offic to mail a letter, the mother promising to meet her daughter at the Terrill corner upon her return.A little while later Mrs.Tiffin, having prepared the evening meal, left her home aa she had planned.She reached the corner\u2014then the post-office\u2014without seeing the missing child.At about six o\u2019olock the little one had posted the letter and left for home.Mrs.Tiffin anxious, but not seriously alarmed, retraced her steps homeward.On the way down she had met a number of teams leaving the village and she reasoned that some friendly farmer had given the little one a kindly litt on the way to her home, and that mother and child bad thus met without eitber recognizing the other.But whenshe reached her home the little one was not there.Mr.Tifflin was, and thoroughly alarmed, he started for the willage.He carried a lantern and kept a sharp lookout along the wayside, but saw no trace of the missing child.Mre.Tiffin followed her husband a few minutes later, and when near Iceman Dewey's residence (formerly the Seth Ball place) came upon the little one, dazed, weak and distressed, but yet stagger- along, 3s best ebe could, toward her home\u2014a goal she might never have reached except for the timely arrival of her mother.Two vagabonds, strangers in this place, had been seen loitering about the village Friday.Coming from the Daly fiele at about a quarter past five o'clock in the evening they accosted Dorothy Flint and Hildreth Hudon, who had been playing about the home of the latter and at that time were \u2018teetering\u2019 near by.When the men approached they were frightened and ran into the house.ATTACKED ON MAIN STREET.When Bertha Tiffin left for home she was followed by the two ruffins, but directly back of her and in front of the men was an older girl.When the latter suddenly left the sidewalk to enter her hope at the Richardson house, the men made some remarks but passed on.Up to this point it is not thought that they had intended to attack the little girl, but the assault must have been made immediately afterwards.The child's memory is clear up to the time she reached the Meigs house\u2014then there is a blank.She was seized by the older one of the two men, who put his hand over her mouth to prevent an outcty and carried her away to the back of the buildings, where she was brutally and criminally assaulted, by the two scoundrels, the outrage being committed within only a few rods of a number of houses on both Main and streets.Afterwards the child was carried back to the street, she thinks to the point where she was taken, but it is altogether likely that she was carried across lots to the Barnston ruad, and placed on the walk there just after her father had passed pown with the lantern and before the timely arrival of her mother.Doctors were hastily summond and everything possible was done for the child, but there was some delay in spreading an alarm and organizing a searching party.Ino the meantime George Corbin, caretaker at the Convent, while in the performance of his regular duties, had come into contact with two men on the grounds of that institution, both of whom were armed with gune.In an altercation which followed Corbin\u2019s lantern was smashed and be wag driven back.He had heard nothing of the outrage at the upper end of the street, but afterwards the two incidents were easily conuected.The men were making their way south back of the buildings and at the same time looking for a favorable opportunity to cross the main street in an effort to reach the railway track, and it is believed that they crossed through the grounds at the Methodist Church.HUNTING THE CRIMINALS.Two hours later armed men were searching the country in every direction, while the telephones bad car- 'ried news of the outrage to sll the outlying country and to every town \u2018and village in thia section.Men re- \u2018mained out all night and many others \u2018joined the searching forces Saturday morning.Railway men kept a sharp lookout and every train was searched.Every possible clue was followed to ishe ond.A description of the two wen had been telaphoned to Newport Friday night and the first satisfactory olue came from that place.Two suspicious characters answering the description given, both cerrying guns, were seen coming in thie direction Friday.CAPTURED AT NEWPORT.Following this clue Constable E.F.Millet, Deputy Constable Leon Norris and many others, proceeded to Newport.The men under suspicion were William Wilson locally known as \u201cDetective\u201d Wilson, whose home is near the north end of the bridge on the \u201cCauseway,\u201d and Roy Button who makes his home with an urclea short distance beyond Newport.Wilson is | thirty-four years of age and married.Button is only seventeen.After some little delay they were arrested by Sheriffs E.Miles and E.Hill.Soon after his arrest Button made a complete confession, acknowledging his guilt, but holding Wilson primarily responsible.According to Button\u2019s confession, it was Wilson who seized the little girl, carried her away, keep- his band over her mouth to prevent her from making an outery, and first assaulted her, afterwards compelling Button to do the same under penglty of being shot.Button said that they reached Rock Island Friday afternoon and that he remained in \u2018the cedars\u201d while Wilson came to the village to procure whiskey.After the crime they returned to Newport on the track, reaching that place between ten and eleven o'clock.Wilson, who knew nothing of Bnt- ton\u2019s confession, denied having been in this place at all on Friday, but acknowledged having been here the previous week.Several peaple who bad seen the men Were were sent down to identify them.At the outeet Wilson refused to return to Canada, declaring that hi would first have the matter referred to the anthorities, but after a lengthy see-saw over the matter he finally consented to waive extradition.Wilson and Button were then driven to Rock Island, accompanied by officers Millet and Norris, the party arriving here shortly before six o\u2019clock Saturday evening.A crowd had gathered around the lock-up and there were occasional threats of lynching, so that the officers of the law were kept in an anxious frame of mind for some time.Outside the lock-up the crowd was addressed by Rev.A.H.Moore, who had taken an active part in the hunt for the criminals, the clergyman expressing satisfaction on account of the capture, and appealing to those assembled to disperse and allow the law to take it course.Although everything bad resumed its normal state of quietness Sunday, Mr.Moore spent all that night in the lock-up to be on the spot in case an unexpected outbreak should occur.EXCITEMENT AT COURT HOUSE.Monday morning the prisoners, in charge of officers Millet and.Norris, were taken to the Court House at Stanstead\u201d where the preliminary hearing was held before Samuel Mur- dock and A.E.Lincoln, Justices of the Peace.The witnesses examined were: A.H.Bessette, George Corbin, A.Belanger, John Audet and Dorothy Flint who were questioned regarding the identity of the prisoners, and Dr.H.P.Stockwell, who gave evidence concerning the little girls injori The prisoners were committed f trial at the next term of the Court of King\u2019s Bench in Sherbrooke.An angry crowd packed the Court House and when the officers started to remove the prisoners there was a cry of \u201clynch them,\u201d anda scene of wild excitement followed.Torestrain the crowd the officers drew revolvers and one shot was fired into the ceiling to make the demonstration more impressive.A few blows were struck and it is stated that Wilson was hit once or twice.At this point Rev.A.H.Moore again addressed the excit- edcrowd.It was intended to bring the prisoners back to Rock Island, but seeing the futility of such an attempt, the officers managed to get them into the lock-up in rear of the Court House to await the departure of the 1.07 train for Sherbrooke.: When the train pulled out it had on board the prisoners in charge of Constable E.F.Millet, Bailiff W.A.Abbott and Deputy Constable Leon Norris, Rev.A.H.Moore, and as big a crowd as the car would hold.Not all of these were bent on avenging the wrong that had been committed.Many in the crowd, especially among the younger ones, anticipated a tragic ending of the affair and were anxious to see it.The officers felt relieved after the transfer to the main line train had been made at the Junction, but a big crowd awaited the arrival of the train at the Union station, Sherbrooke.Again there\u201cwere cries of \u2018lynch them\u201d and (he combined ef- forte of several police were required to make a passage for the officers and their prisoners tv .he cab which was in waiting, but sliortly afterwards the prisoners were +: ely landed in jail.At Sherbrouk., Tuesday, Wilson and Botton a; eared before Judge Mulvena and u : 1e given the option of @ speedy tri.i in the Magistrate\u2019s Court or à triui by Jary at the Court of obo King's Bench, which will probably be hold in January.Wilson replied: \u201cWe had better wait.We have had no show, bat have been knocked around frompiliar to post, I will have a trial by jury.\u201d After hesitating, Button an- ewered, \u2018I will take the same.\u201d THE VIOTIM IMPROVING.The little girl, althought In a oeri- ons condition, since the asssult, seems to be making favorable progress towards recovery.Yesterday her ocon- dition gave some uneasiness, to-day she is a little better.A TEMPERANCE LESSON.The Btanstead correspondent of the Sheabrooke Record, writing under date of Nov.0 says; \u2018\u2018Reference was made by our local preachers in their sermons on Sunday to the terrible act whieb has been perpepetrated in our community.It is a good temperance [lesson for the people to work out, that as long as there are institutions in our country which invite and harbor jost such rifraîf as was in our midst Friday evening, just so long will there be crime, as no doubt liquor was in a measure responsible for the deed on Friday night here.\u201d Every ill has its

manure cellar 1s cheaper than a plain cement, and just as durable, if not more so.Every manure cellar should have a watertight floor of some sort.Rubble 1s within the reach of all.A manure cellar well walled and floored with this compound is a mine of wealth to the plant growth of any farm.More attention to this raising or fertilizing value would materially increase the income of two thirds of the farmers in the eastern states, and the day is surely coming when the western farmer must also think of these things.As the soll growe old, and repeated crops are taken from it it must be fed the same

Beard.An unusual suit, involving a woman endowed with a beard, has just been decided by the French courts.The woman was engaged to be married, and thinking her fiance would like her better if her face was like that of other women, she entered into a contract with a face specialist, who agreed to remove every hair.He did so, but scars and marks were left on the woman\u2019s chin.Whether it was because of this was not brought ont, but the engagement was broken off.The woman thereupon sued the speciallst for damages.The question whether her looks kad suffered was submitted to an expert.This was his judgment: \u201cA comparison of the present condition of Mlle.X's physiognomy with that shown in a photograph taken in 1904 leads to the undoubted conviction that the woman\u2019s face now presents a far more agreeable expression than at that time.At all events it is far more feminine looking.\u201d The judge decided ainst the woman.Quick Growing Flowers.One morning you drive through

what depth a whale could descend and whether an air breathing mammal could stand a water pressure of nearly half a ton to the square inch.These inquiries were prompted by an interruption of the submarine cable between Iquiquo and Valparaiso, Chile, which occurred on August 14 last and which was caused by a large whale that was afterward drawn to the surface by the repair steamer Faraday from a depth of 400 fathoms.An article in the New York Zoological Society's Bulletin, an aquarium number, from which the above facts are taken, continues: The cable in which the whale was entangled weighed in air, while wet, 1,715 tons per nautical mile and had a breaking strain of 6.06 tons.The weight in salt water was 1,005 tons per nautical mile.If the whale came to the surface ta blow, he must have held two or three miles of cable in suspension.This, however, is unlikely, since it had four turns of the cable around its body, one being In its mouth.When the trouble with the cable was discovered, tests from Valparaiso and Iquique placed the break about thirteen miles from the latter place.On August 16 the Faraday left Iquique for the position of the break and began grappling in 342 fathoms, with 500 fathoms of rope out The cable was hoved up, cut and tested to Iquique.The end was buoyed, and the ship, grappling further out, picked up the cable, which came.in badly twisted and with increasing strain.A large whale was brought to the surface completely entangled in the The stench being unendurable, the cable was cut close to the whale and the vessel moved to windward.Tests were made and Valparaiso The ship made four sound- depths of 415 fathoms (2,490 feet, nearly half a mile).It is extremely doubtful whether an alr breathing animal can go as deep as 400 fathoms, and as that depth is much below the limit of pelagic life, on which most whales feed, it is not likely that the whale would penetrate such a depth.Total darkness, moreover, prevails in depths of 400 fathoms.According to the records of whale- men, whales have been known to stay under water more than an hour and after being harpooned to have carried out a mile of line before reappearing at thie surface, although this does not necessarily mean that the line was carried down vertically.The Valparaiso-Iquique cable was laid on January 27, 1908.At first sight it seems unifkely that the whale entangled in this cable could have remained eight months without complete disintegration or being gradually consumed by small forms of life on the bottom.- The deep sea, however, i8 intensely cold,

some respects disappointed the hopes of the people of God, and the revival, so greatly needed, and so earnestly desired and sought by many, has not yet begun.In other parts of the world the fire is breaking out; and workers send home news that gladdens while it humbles us, telling of the working of the living, present, though - unseen, Spirit; convicting and quickening Christians, and leadi the unsaved to Christ.But for the most part, this hountry remains untouched.Nat urally the problem still engages the attention of our leaders, and many ' are asking why \u2018so little has been achieved.And we confess to a fgel ing of disappointment when we find some encouraging themselves to hope for improvement because the churches are showing a disposition to abandon past methods of work or to modify such methods so as to suit present requirements.For what are methods?They do not create life, but rather are the forms in which life ex Dresses itself.Granted that old methods are retained when the life that called them into being at the first hag gone from them, yet hew forms do \" not necessarily mean new life, \u2018Tis life whereof our nerves are scant, More life and fuller that we want.Is there a known condition on whieh this fuller life depends?There is, and we all know It; yet it is to be feared that we are not seeking to fulfill the condition.: For that reason we suggest the question: Do we pray?We know that we should pray.The presence and power of the Spirit, the \u201cgreater works\u201d than Jesus did, the miracles in the spirit realm as great as those wrought by our Lord upon the bodies-of men\u2014all these are promised; all depend.on one condition\u2014 the prayer of faith in the name of Jesus.The conviction is generally held that if the Church gave herself to the word of prayer, bearing on her heart the needs of the world, exercising prayer as a fighting force against the forces of evil, failures would soon be turned to victories.\u2018Ye have not\"\u2014 not because your organizations are not sufficiently numerous, or your methods not wise, but \u201cbecause ye ask not\u201d \u201cAsk and ye shall receive\u201d is specially true when our asking is for the power of the Spirit.\u201cI will pour water on him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry grounds.\u201d The great promise in Ezek.36:37, 88 is God's contribution to the great question of the day.An increase of the best sort is possible on only one condition: *I will yet be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them.\u201d Is there, then, a more pertinent question than this: Do we pray?We shall be reminded that other conditions are needed.True, but it is a question whether all are not included in true prayer.There are strifes and divisions and contentions among the people of God, and these render prevailing prayer impossible.This is sadly true; and we are persuaded that the continuance of such conditions as render strife necessary is a triumph of the great enemy of souls, But is it not true prayer the condition on which alone we may know how to conduct our warfare in the right spirit?Personal feeling is exposed and condemned when we draw near to God In prayer.\u201cIf thou bring thy gift to the altar and there rémem- berest that thy brother hath aught against thee\u201d\u2014why \u201cthere remem- berest?\u201d Because coming to the altar is coming near to God, and God is Light, and Light searches\u2014and the sin of wrong relationship towards others appears there as it is not seen anywhere else.The attempt to pray and prevail, will discover the true hindrances to prayer.The purpose of this message will not fail if those who read it will put the question to themselves.Let each one answer for himself, and recognise how great or how small a part prayer has in his life.Dr.Torrey created some stir, awhile ago, by asserting that Christians generally do not spend more than five or ten minutes a day in prayer.Many condemned him for making such a statement; but was he far from the truth?Andrew Murray, in his book on \"The Ministry of Intercession,\u201d tells of attending many cunventions on the subject of prayer, in every pune of \u2018which the confession was made by ministers, missionaries, and Christian workers in every station: \u201cWe pray too little.\u201d He also quotes from an address gin eb to ministers by

of Boston have made it possible for any ordinary sized village to have this, to be desired innovation, as they send a representative, as they did Mise Walle, to the Three Villages, and they evolve out of local material a desirable and extremely acceptable \u201cUnion Station.\u201d The resuits that obtained on the boards at the Haskell Opera House last \u201cThursday evening showed that our young people must have been very busy to effect so much in a week\u2019s time.The cast was excellent and they all did good work.The make-ups were also very cleverly done.The Parisian gentleman that dispensed pasteboards and information at the ticket window was a plum of the right sort, and one would never mistrust that the foundation was \u2018Joe\u2019 Many.That Foatee was a sleek proposition.The going and coming of the patrons of the sev- ernl roads was kaliedoscopic and furnished lots of sport.\u2018\u2018Aunt\u201d Lottie with her wonderful sack, that must have come from some very early strata, and the bonnet was a close second.It was a difficult impersonation, being somewhat handicapped by its duration, but was finely done.The Scotch depot master got it good, and the diminuendo at the close of his crying of trains was very true to the pattern.The bootblack and his pal were very good in thelr song and dance.\u201cDeacon Longface\u2019\u2019 carried us back to Plymouth Rock and the parson made it realistic.Uncle Josh and aunt Sarah were real old farm folks, traveling under the embarrassment of ignorance of the ways of travel, and they brought-out some very excellent duplicates of those we have seen and heard in life.Mr.and Mrs.Henpeck were well interpreted.Clara was able to keep the contrast good, and Percy was good erfough to capture one of the first prizes.Hiram and Barbery made a hit.That hat of Hirams made him touching, tender aad sweet and they gave a new snap and go to the impersonation, and lifted it out of the ordinary.The four kids\u2019 goodbye to Hiram Green was another good feature, as it uncovered the fact that we have some good voices among our boys.The prompt, alert cop kept the station very orderly and brought ont the character well.Ted always is the character, puts himself in the character\u2019s place.Julia Hackett gave us a splendid \u201cAunt Emelie Say Little,\u201d the makeup was excellent and her natural acting was one of the best features.\u201cAriminty,\u201d effuse, gorgeous \u2018\u2018Ari- minty\u201d arose to Joseph\u2019s needs and both did their parts like veteaans, and the quartette of youngsters were just as good.Miss Moreau\u2019s effort for sweet charity was a fine place in the eketch, as she has a true, sweet voice.The recipient of the proceeds, \u2018Mrs.Needy\u201d\u201d and her plump, home-made baby, was a very fanny innovation in the life of Union Station, and the denouement jolted our funny bone and was somewhat embarrasing for Prof.Learned and the police force.The state drill of the children was well done, and \u201cSo Long Mary\u201d by Jennie Audinwood, assisted by a good chorus, was worth hearing, as there were good voices and Jennie is a pleasing singer.Earl Sisco surprised us all with his support of six young ladies.Hs bad only a day for preparution, but he carried it through fine and the audience showed its pleasure by calling them back.The closing number, \u201cDon\u2019t Youn Want a Paper Dearie,\u201d was a fine finish to a good entertainment and another proof that we have lots of local talent and can put on stocesstully anything undertaken.The audience was a good one, but there should have been a full house.The net result was a good evening and about 850 winnings.The results that obtained are a compliment to Miss Walle\u2019s faithtal and efficient work, and also for the Boston School of Expression, of wnich she is a graduate, and her employers, the Beck Entertainment Bureau's good judgment in selecting their coaches for their entertainments.EAST HATLEY.Mr.and Mrs.Harry B.Whitcomb were \u2018\u2018At Home\u201d to their many friends on Saturday evening, having moved into the house lately vacated by Mr.Melloon\u2019s

Winnifred Wyman of Stanstead, Que, formerly of this place, were united in marriage by Rev.William T.Boyd, pastor of the Free Baptist church.The parlor was handsomely arranged and decorated for the occasion.The bridal party entered the parlor unattended and were met by Rev.Mr.Boyd and the single ring service was performed.The bride was handsomely gowned in à blue dress.The contracting parties are well known in this place, both having resided here a long time.The groom came here from Mechanic Falls, Me., where he is a graduate of the high school.While in school he was prominent in

bean- tifal doll in his toyshop and briñgs her to life by the aid of electricity much to the amusement of the village and the delighted audience, who simply are wild in enthusiasm over the funny antics of the village belle, who takes the part of the electrical doll.Messrs.Atkinson and Tatcher are managing the clever company of \u201cThe Jollities\u201d who are carrying new scenery and costumes designed for \u201cThe Toymakers\u2019 and whose singing, dancing and acting are of the best and latest on the stage and they give two hours and a half of fun and frolie that will repay the most blase theatre-goer for his time and money.Fireman Noakes loses his life in collision at Orleans.A headon collision occured about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning about a quarter of à mile north of
