diocese. He congratulated the people
of this parish on their commodious
and stately church edifice which, he
said, is known far around and is sur
passed in size and architectural beauty
by few if any other churches in the
diocese.
Among those present at the service
was Peter Baldy, of St Paul, Minn.,
now sojourning among the scenes of
his early life in Danville. Mr. Baldy,
the Bishop said, since his arrival in
, ttiis city has celebrated his T'Jud birth
day. This brought the speaker down
to Mr. Baldy's early life,whose father
Peter Baldy, Sr.. was chiefly instru
mental in founding the parish, while
Peter Baldy, Jr., (in is:{_»> was the
first child baptized after the church
was built.
The Bishop then related a very pleas- j
: ant little storv showing how an Epis-
I copal church came to be established
jin Danville. It was about the year
IPeter Baldy, Sr., tin n one of
| the It tiding merchants of this -ection,
i wi-nt to Philadelphia to buy good .
i lb- also >old book-- in his store and
while in the city went into a large
hook -tore to purehast what lie need
ed in that line. He \\ a handed a book
el common prayer, which at once in
terested him. He sat down and for
two hours perused the littb- volume,
if- was much interested in a movenn nt
at home to organize a church, which
by common consent was to be known
as a union affair. The prayer books i
he thought were just what were need
ed and he ordered three dozen of them.
The prayer books arrived indue i
time. A meeting was held in the court '
house, a clergyman from the vicinity i
of Wilkesbarre conducting the service, j
In a short time the prayer books fail- (
ed to reach around and as many as i
three persons used one book. The peo- i
pie were captivated by the beauty of J
the Episcopal service, all idea of a
union church was abandoned and the j
present parish of Christ church was ;
formed.
Bishop Talbot at some length ex- j
plained the new apportionment plan i
adopted for the purpose of raising this
year 5i,000.000 for the missionary
work. Tin- apportionment gives the
Central Pennsylvania Diocese si 1.-.'tio. -
81 to raise and Christ church the sum j
oi' $131.50. The amount to be realized |
is apportioned among the different
dioceses according to their wealth.
A parish in Scranton has §7OO to raise.
The lit. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, I).
D., LL. 1).. Bishop of the Diocese of
Central Pennsylvania, arrived in this
city Tuesday morning to be present i
at the Convocation of the Williams
port- Archdeaconry.
He was accompanied by Rev. W. H.
Butts of "Williamsport, who is acting
as secretary of the Convocation. Arch
deacon William Heakes of Wellsboro,
presides over the sessions.
Services Tuesday Jmorning began at
7 :i>o o'clock with a celebration of the
Holy Communion. At It o'clock there
was a choral celebration with a ser
mon by the Rev. James W. Higgles of
Williamsport. It was a scholarly and
thoughtful discourse very favorably
commented upon by the clergy and
others, founded upon II Timothy, Ist
chapter, 7th verse: "God hath not
given to us the spirit of fear, but of
power and of love and of a sound
mind.''
The spirit of Christianity, he said,
i- not a spirit of servile fear, which
looks unto God as the judge of man
kind. solely, but rather regards Him
as the Loving Father of His creation.
The peculiar genius of the gospel of
Christ is. first, a spirit of power be
stowed upon His faithful children by
tin- indwelling of the Holy Ghost, by
whose aid we are enabled to perform
the duties and obligations which our
relation to Him impose upon the chil
dren of men ; second, the spirit of love
imposed upon men by the Incarnation
of the Hon of (rod, who loved us and
gave Himself for tis. Love begets
love. "If ye love me keep my com
mandments" is the test of the relig
ious life. Love is the imjielling mo
tive of Christian fluty-. Third, the
spirit of a sound mind by which calm
ness and saneness are induced in the
minds and lives of men. Power with
out love begets ferocity, love without
power produces an appreciation of a
duty without a corresponding action
of life. Either without a sound mind
will not give a calmness and dignity,
either in our stated forms of worship
or in our lives. It is necessary for till
Christian men and women and more
especially the members of the Sacred
ministry to cultivate the spirit bestoyv
ed upon them by God, Himself, tin
spirit of power,of love and of a sound
mind.
During the business session between
10:30 a. m.and 12:30]). m.the reports
of all the missionaries of this section
of the diocese were presented. The
Bishop yvas much gratified by the show
ing made along the different lines,
which revealed progress financially as
well as in other respects. A neyv mis
-ionarv. Rev. Frederick Welham, has
he. n placed in charge of the work at
Catawissa and Berwick. H<- has oc
cupied the field for some three weeks
past.
The afternoon session Tuesday yvas
devoted to "Literary Exercises."
Rev. M. B. Nash read an essay en
titled : "The Priest's Responsibility in
the Preparation, Instruction and Pre
-i ntiition of the Confirmation (/hiss."
Rev. F. J. (Merc, I>. I)., read an is
egesis on St. Matthew li>—
A critique of Barrett Wendell's Lit

Rev. Charles Morison invited the

A VALUABLE MEDICINE
For Coughs and Colds in Children.
' I have not the slightest hesitancy in
recommending Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to all who are suffering from
coughs or colds, says Clias. M. Cramer,
Esq., a well known watch maker, of
COIOHIIMI, Ceylon. It has been some
two years since the City Dispensary lirst
called my attention to this valuable
medicine and I have repeatedly used it
and it. has always been beneficial. It
has cured me quickly of all chest, cold.
It, is especially effective for children and
seldom takes more than one bottle to
cure them of hoarseness. I have per
suaded many to try this valuable med
icine, and they are sill its well pleased as
myself over the results." For sale by

SOY BEANS.
Wldrnprrad Interrnt In Tlu'in i«t the
North—llott In <irow Tliesn.
lii view of the present widespread in
terest in soy beans a few words of ex
planation are pertinent at this time.
Probably a hundred Ohio farmers have
asked me it' they can grow soys in their
latitude. I answer yes. Why not? Lo
cated north of tiie forty-fourth parallel
of north latitude, I have been growing,
eross breeding and feeding soys for
years and have yet to record the first
failure. Given the early or medium
early varieties, any Ohio farmer should
do better than can possibly be done
here. The principal causes of failure
are too late varieties, too late planting
and ton much seed.
The best way to use soy beans for j
hoy pasture is in what my friend. E. P. ;
Oiehl of Indiana, calls a "hoy; para
f disc." This is made by planting soy
beans, cowpeas and corn in alternate
rows, and at the last cultivation two
pounds of rape are sown to the acre.
It is not expensive, and it makes pork
as nothing; rise will. As one fanner of j
my iiequaintance said: "Make pork?
Well, say. it's just like getting money
froiil )I ;111«•."
S >y beans will stand more cold than
core, cowpeas or potatoes. In fact, I
ha. e never seen theui injured by frost
between May 1 and Oct. 1. though, of
course, tin :e are extreme dates. Soys
will withstand more wet weather at ;
any stage in" growth than any forage
or grain crop 1 know and, in common
with cowpeas. will grow right along \
through the hot. dry weather when
corn leaves dry up and rustle, says a j
Michigan correspondent in < >hio farm
er.
Potatoes that have been kept by I
banking with earth should not be dis- |
turbed in the spring until about the |
last of April. They may then be taken j
from the bank and may be stored in a j
cellar or a dark corner of the barn un- j
til about one week before planting
time. Then they should be spread upon
the ground where they will be fully ex
posed to the sunlight. This will cause
the buds to make a strong, vigorous !
growth, which is not broken off when !
the tubers are planted. Permitting the !
buds thus to start greatly facilitates j
, growth after planting. The Cornell (N. |
Y.) station has found this method of
procedure to work well, much better
than when seed tubers are stored in
1 cellars or where they are banked im
mediately after digging.
To II ii:i Wornont I.nnits.
If you think that lands lack humus, j
apply stable manure or turn under a j
green crop. The best general green i
I crop is red clover, but it does not catch !

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp=Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty- If"''A"""

free, also pamphlet tell- iiomp of Swamp-Root,

thousands of testimonial letters received
from sufferers cured. In v/riting Dr. Kilmer

AN ITEM IN SPRAYING.
Pure Pari* Green »nd Simple* Tents
Fur Adnliernills.
While much has been written find
said 011 the subject of spraying, there
are some details necessary to the suc
cess of the operation that may well
bear further exposition. The Illinois
station h;;s treated of these small tech
nicalities in a recent bulletin, which
includes some clear and practical talk
011 paris green, as follows:
Perhaps the simplest test to deter
mine whether a green has been exteu

sively adulterated is the color test.
Pure paris j:recn has a bright green
color a shai'.e or two lighter than em
erald. Any samples which have a dull
or a pale, washed out appearance
should at once be discarded without
further question. By placing a small
quantity in, say, a homeopathic vial
and tapping the latter gently on the
bottom or side adulterants can he made
to sei srate from the green and can
then 1 • seen as white streaks < r patch
es against the glass sides of the vial.
The pure green remains bright green
Ogainst the glass.
In <oiniei iion with the color test Pro
fessor Woodworth of the California
station has devised the following sim
ple test, which can be made by any
one and which will show immediately
if the sample is worthy of any further
consideration: Place upon a clean glass
plate a small quantity of green—what
one can easily pick up 011 the point of
a penknife. Tilt the plate at a slight
angle and gently tap the edge just
enough to cause the green to tlow
down, leaving a streak across the plate.
If the green is of good quality, the
streak will be a bright, light emerald
green; if adulterated, a whitish or a
sickly dull green. Any samples which
exhibit the latter are either adulter
ated or of low grade and as % such are
not worthy of further consideration.
Another very simple way to show the
presence of adulterants is the ammo
nia test. Pure paris green is wholly
soluble in ammonia, while some of its
common adulterants are not. Therefore
if after dissolving a small quantity in
ammonia any residue remains undis
solved the sample has been adulter
ated and should be discarded. Unfortu- J
liately this test does not show the j
presence of any free or unconibined '
arsenious oxide, which, although it has j
not been considered strictly an adul- '
terant on the ground of its poisoning ,
qualities, is nevertheless objectionable j
011 account of its injurious action on |
the foliage.
One of the quickest and surest |
means of determining the presence of .
any adulterant or objectionable ingre- •

Prartiral Seed Tewtintr.
The method of testing seeds between
plates and layers of moistened flannel,
the whole being kept in a warm place,
is familiar to nearly every one. A. S.
Hitchcock says in Gardening as t > the
time required for seeds to germinate:
Some seeds will commence to germi
nate by the third day. Each day an ex
amination should be made, a: I those
seeds which have germinated should
be recorded and removed.
fil'-.H-U wo<-u!kJ lu«|UU'U itc UUloh
Weeks, and seeds uf some trees a still
longer time. Beet balls contain fr ni
three to seven seeds. Willi very small
seed it may be necessary to provide lor
the circulation of air by placing small
pieces of wood between the layers of
cloth among the seeds. Willi most va
rieties of garden plants the majority
of seeds should germinate within a
few days after the first sprout appears.
If the period of germination extends
over a longer lime, it shows that the
\ ita lily of the seed is low. Seeds of t tie
carrot family and some melon m•.
may not show as high results in the
germinating dishes as they do in the
ground.
