Charles Wesley first set feet In this court

Indians and te Oglethorpe's colonists, but
the City Heed chapel In Londen Is
claimed te be the true cradle of Method
Ism, slnce It was thcre Jehn and Charles
wen their first great successes, and
there both their bodies were laid, while
their mother was buried across the street
in quaint old BunhUl Fields. But the
Faneutl hall of American Methodism is
the queer old Bt. Geerge's, en the east
side of Fourth street, between Race and
Vine, Philadelphia, for it was there the
first distinctively Methodist conference
was ever held in America, and the pastor
of that congregation was the founder of
me new world renowned Methodist Boek
txinccrn.
AN INTKItlOlt, 6T. OEOIIOE'S .CHUIICn.
Officially, and as a really United States
church, the Methodists usually dete from
the noted Asbury confercuce of 1784, at
which the polity of the denomination was
assimilated te that of a free and Indepen
dent republic; but eleven years before, In
July, 1771J, a cotiference of ten Methodist
ministers was held In this Philadelphia
t church. There was no United State, of
course, and there were no united colonies,
but this little confercuce represented New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land and a part of New Yerk. Se St.
fleorge's was the first Metlledlst church
In Philadelphia, and as It Is still standing,
it is the eldest Methodist church In the
United States; but It was built In 1763 as
a German Reformed church. The mem
bers wanted English preaching; but un
fortunately the llrst English address they
heard In the church was the address of a
6UerifT who took charge of the building
for debt contracted In the construction,
and put the trustees In Jail.
They remained there many months, tee;
then Jeseph Pilmoer and Itichard Hoard Heard
man secured their release by guaranteeing
the debt, and took the church as security.
and in November, 1709, Jeseph Pilmoer

n 1809 there was a crand centennial cele
bratien of the event, at which Bishop
Simpsen took u prominent part nnd
Methodists weie present from many parts
of the world. Fer seme years after the
revolution nearly all tlie .Methodist preach
ing was by "circuits," the ministers
seldom remaining mero than n month or
six weeks at ene charge. B.tltlmore bo be bo
rame a great Methodist center long before
New Yerk did, and still remains a Method
ist stronghold. During the revolutionary
war the British used St, Geerge's as a
cavalry headquarters, filling it with ar
tillery wagons and horses; but as It had
no lloer, and nene but the roughest beard
scats, they did net injure It much. Dur
ing that tlme the congregation worshiped
in the old Baptist church en I.agrange
street. On each side of the pulpit there
may new be seen in the church marble
tablets bearing the names of the nearly
200 Itinerant ministers who were stationed
here during the 100 years from 1709 te
1869. Four of the number became bishops

Whatceat, Rebert It. Roberts and Levi

The caily Methodists In Philadel
phia were net approved of by "sas
eiety." They "shouted" and said "nmen"
in places where the prayer book was
silent; "they get the power" and did
many ether things which the conserva censerva conserva
tlve city did net admire. The established
church (Episcopal) denounced them as
"ranters," the Baptists barely tolerated
them, and the quiet Quakers looked en
them with undisguised horror. While re
ligious peoplemereiyilisapnroved of them,
the lighthcarted and careless made them
feed for mirth; and many an old journal
or pamphlet Is thickset with jokes en the
Methodists. The contrast with the body
new In session at New Yerk, an ob
ject of profound respect te the whele
world, Is Indeed wonderful.

Edisen's phonograph was invented some
years age and a number of instruments
were placed en exhibition. Near the
places where these instruments were be
ing practiced upon by curious crowds,
through epca windows, could be heard
all day parrot like sounds, .which seemed
te afford infinite amusement te tlie listen
era. The crowds evidently found a med
ley most enjoyable, and a mixture of
prose, poetry, song and idiotic laughter
was ground out of the machine from
morning till night.
But the novelty seen were away, the
crowds fell off, the exhibitions ceased,
and we heard nothing mere of the phono

A Simple, Convenient Summer Retreat,
A respected citizen residing en North
avenue Las a peculiar way of seeking ro re ro
lief from the beat of summer, which Is.
perhaps, worth mentioning before the an
nuel exodus te fashionable watering
places The apparent advantages of his
plan are its cheapness and houiely sim
plicity He does net bother his heed lay
ing out routes of travel among mountains,
and lakes, and along the sea snere. Each
summer Is spent at the same place.
At the approach of extromehcat hehles
himself at once te his retreat. Thore are
no musqultecs there, no brass bands, no
crowds, no noise. He enjoys gcnulne re re ro
peso and quiet. Ills llfe In the summer
may be compared te that of theso hermits
who occasionally take up their abodes In
caves and reccsses under the earth's sur

with rugs, an easy chair, a couch and a
table. He passes his tlme pleasantly,
taking huge enjoyment, out of an old fash
ioned, long stemmed plpe, and seme
books and papers. The air U quite as cool
as can be desired, and the cellar being
dry, he docs net fear rheumattsm or ma

te sojourn In his cellar in the summer be be bo
cause he cannot afford te go elsowhcre.
IIe is, in fact, in comfertablo circum

en a neat yearly income from his prop

dislikes traveling any distance. He
thinks that his plan is the best for keep

WMU traveling through India, between
Burat and Nagpere, my body servant ene
day Informed me that a great Juggler and
sake charmer wished te have the honor
of showing m something of hli skill.
My errant withdrew and presently re
turned with a small, withered old man,
teat whom 1 hi nothing remarkable
except the eyes, which were small, black
and piercing, and seemed te have light
ning Imprisoned In them. I de net knew
whether tbe man could ace me in the dark
like a cat, but thece was at times that
peculiar fiery appearance of the balls
which 'U se often observablo In night
prowling animus.
Be were a white Test, Turkish trousers,
a kind et crimson petticoat worked with
atranga device, a turban of many colors
and morocco shoes pouted and turned up
at the tees. His arms and neck were bare,
and with tbe exception of a couple of heavy
geld rings la bis ears, he displayed no ex
traneous ornaments, His age I Judgote
be 60, and his short mustacbe was almost
white. He made a slew salam and then
suddenly produced from whero I did net
see and cannot tell a large ball of twine,
which he appeared te toss in my lap,
keeping held of one end, se that it un
rolled Ihe whele distance between him
and me at least lea feet saying as uft
did se:
"Will your exeollency plcase examine
what you seer
New, I honestly aver that I saw that
ball of twine when he threw It as plainly
as I ever saw anything In my llfe saw it
corns toward me, saw It unroll and ap
parently drop Inte my lap, se that I
brought my knees quickly together te
catch It, and yet when I nut my hand
down te take It, and looked down for it, it
was net there nothing was thore, and at
the same Instant I percelved the Juggler
dancing It en the end of his finger.
A WONDEnrUIi TTUNSVOUUATIOM.
"Dees your excellency think 1 have III"
he said.
And befere I could answer I saw In
place of the ball a beautiful large red
rose, which be was balancing by the stem
and yet he hed net altered his position
In the least, nor scarcely stirred a finger.
Whlle yet I looked. I saw In his right
band a cup, and In his left a rose IIe
stepped forward a few feet, laid the rese
down en the ground, and placed the cup
ever ib
Hera, It will be observed, thcre was no
machinery te assist him no table with
Its false top, concealed compartments and
confederate, perhaps, te offect a change,
as w see similar tricks performed in a
place fitted by a magician for the purpose
but only my own quarters. In the full
light of day, with myself clesely watching
every movement, within flve feet of him,
and my attendants grouped around almost
as near.!
Having covered the rese with a cup as
I would be willing te take my oath, for I
saw the rose as distinctly as the hollow
vessel held by the top, went slowly down
ever It the conjurer resumed his former
place. and said:
"Will your excellency be kind enough
te lift the cup and see what Is under It?"
Of ceurse, I would have wagered a
heavy sum that the rese was Btlll thore
for ene thing, bocause, expecting seme
trick, I had kept my eye en it te the last
moment, and was certain there was no
possibility of Its being removed after a
Land bad let go of the cup at the top.
1 compiled with the request, stepped
forward and raised the cup, but instantly
dropped It with a cry of terror for there,
Instead of the rese, was ene of the little,
deadly green serpents of India, celled up
and ready te spring, with Its small
glistening eyes fixed intently en mlne.
nakes of any kind are my horror, and
this one net only horrified me. but all my
attendants, who with cries of alarm en
larged the circle very rapidly, for Tthey
iuiuw us oite te de ratal.
"It Is perfectly harmless, your excel
lency, " grinned the old man, walking up
te It, lifting it by the neck, putting Its
heed In his mouth and allowing It te run
down his threat.
TUB TUnB AND TWINE.
He next produced a tube that looked
llke brass, about two feet long and half
an Inch lit dlamoter, and next the ball of
twine again. Whero theso things came
from or wentr te I could net tell. They
cuuuieu id no in ins nanus wucn no wanted
thorn; but I nover observed his hands
passing near his dress clther when they
appeared or disappeared. When I looked
for the cup that I had lifted from the
snake it was gene, and yet neither myself
nor any of my attendants bad Been this
wonderful man pick It up. It was Indeed
Jugglery, If net magic, of the most un
questionable kind.
Through the brass tube the conjurer
Cesscd one end of thn twine, which he put
etween his teeth. He then put the tube
between his lips, threw back his head and
held It perpendicularly, with the ball of
twine at the upper cud. Then suddenly
the"ball began te turn, and turn rapidly,
nnd gradually grew smaller, till it entirely
disappeared, as if the twine had run off en
a rccL What turned It or whero It went
te no ene could bee. Tlie Juggler then
set the ether end up, and a new ball began
te form en the top, but apparently rib
bon of half an Inch in width and different
colors. These rolled up as If en a bobbin,
till it formed a wheel two or tlirce Inches
In diameter, when the parfermer eecmed
te toss ribbon and tube etcr Ms shoulder,
and that was the last I saw of cither.
Ue next produced what appeared te be
the same cup I had lifted from the snake,
showing something that appeared te be
an eK, advanced the same as befere and
placed the latter en tlie ground and the
former ever It, and again requested me te
open it, which I declined te de, fearing I
should see another serpent or something
equally terrifying.
At this he took up the cup himself and
appeared te threw It In the air, and thcre
eat In its ploce a beautiful deve, which
flew up and alighted en tils shoulder. He
took ft into tils band and muttered ever
Bomennlntolliglblo words, Bccmed te cram
It Inte his mouth and that was the last I
saw of that also. St. Leuis Sayings.

man's meat, Is another man's poison" is
an old and true saying, yet a great ma.
jerlty of mankind have Ideas of diet that
are formed from the experience of ether
peeple, and these Ideas are very commonly
absurd. Dr. Whlte disposes of seme of
these notions, by the autheritative utter
ance of a thorough scientist.
Fer example he touches en the old
wives' fable that butter in liberal quanti
ties will cause children's faces te break
out with "butter sores." He declares,
what Intelligent people have long known,
that geed butter uncooked Is perfectly
harmleas feed se far as the skin Is con
cerned, and he might have gene much
farthsr.fer the limitation was unneces
sary. He says, however, that the notion
alluded te probably came from the fact

etherwise Indigestible may have dis
turbed the stomach and produced Impure
bleed In some cases. It Is mere likely te
hare come from the efforts of parents of
limited means te curb their children's In
dulgence In an expensive dainty It Is
certain that much of the prejudice against
candy cams from this particular cause,
though with candy, as with butter, the
prejudice Is entirely justifiable In refer refer refer
eneote adulterated and Impure grades.
Nothing bt mers common than te hear
parents tell their children thai eating
candy will ruin their teeth, but It is most
likely te be an utterance dictated by
economy. At all events, no educated
dentist wltt Indorse the statement.
The notion that buckwheat cakes and
oatmeal are productive of skin diseases Is
also attacked and pretty thoroughly do de do
mellshod by Professer White, as well as
that absurdity about tomatoes which was
started by Dle LewU a generation or be
age. He said that tomatoes were pro
ductive of cancer, and that they loosened
and destroyed the teeth. Dr. Whlte do de
dares tomatoes and oatmeal te be harm
less and vsluable feeds, and points at the
slmpla fact that the only danger In eat
ing buckwheat lies In the fact thel
It la apt te be served up het In the form
of Improperly cooked cakes. These may,
end are very likely te, upset the diges
tion. IIe declares, moreover, that a geed
digestion and a healthy appotlte will take
care of the skin be far as the effects of
feed are concerned, and that it matters
llttle what kind of feed Is used se long as
It Is pure, of geed quality and properly
prcpared. The healthy stomach will turn
It into geed bleed. This, It will be coon,
is a similar uucr&nce te mat or JJr. Aus

White, treating as he did en the skin only,

and forms a sort of varnislt. Tills flrst

vermilion, heightens the red of her lips
with carmine, magulfles the contour of
the eyes with kohl, paluts her eyebrews
with Indian ink, picks out a few veins,
and the mastle is completo. This opera

the dancer draws ou her Bilk tights, and

Whlaltlnj; Jug or I'erii.
The sllvadera or musical Jugs found
among the burial places of Peru are most
ingenious specimens of liandlwerk. A
sllvie in the William S. Vuux .collection
of Philadelphia consists of two vases,
whose bodies are Joined ene te the ether
with a hele or opening between them.
Tlie neck of ene of these vescs Is closed,
with the exception of a small opening In
which a clay plpe Is Inserted leading te
the body of a whlstle. When a liquid Is
poured Inte the open necked vase; the
nlr is compressed In the ether, and, escap
ing through the narrow opening, Is forced
Inte the whlstle, the vibrations producing
sounds.
Many of these sounds represent the
notes of blrdsj ene In the Clay collection
of Philadelphia imitates the uoteu of the
robin or seme ether member of the
thrush trlbe peculiar te Pent. Tlie closed
neck of tills deuble vase is modeled Inte
a representation of a bird's head, which Is
thruflhllke In character. Anether water
vase In the same collection representing n
llama, imitates the disgusting habit which
this animal possesses of ejecting Its
eallva when enraged. The hissing sound
which accompanies this action is admir
ably Imitated. A black tube of earthen,
ware, ornamented with a grotcsque head
In low relief, te which short arms are at
tached, pressing a threo tubed syrinx te
Its lips (Clay collection), deserves especial
mention, as It suggests the ovelutlon of
this Instrument from a slngle tube te

A Chicago man is lecturlng en a theory

Production of Artificial Species.
Though It is net certainly known that
new species of animals or plants have
been produced artificially, everybody la
aware that, by means of intelligent selec
tion, remarkable changes have been
sought and accomplished for man's profit
nnd pleasure. Fruits have been improved
in size and quality, flowers In beauty, and
animals In flesh and ether products and
In physical endowments.
Sir. Charles Merris new urges that such
experiments In variation be uuvle for the
benefit of sclcnce, bollevlng that results
net vet dreamed of might be obtained,
nnd the problems of the origin of special
and the limits of animal Intellect be
brought nearer solution. When such ox ex ox
traerdlnary results have been produced
by chance methods of selection of super
ficial traits se far practiced, the adoption
of Bclentlfie methods and the selection of
mero significant characteristics would
tery likely yield varletlcs of the utmost
interest ana value te ucience. Arkausaw
