Picnics are certainly an abundant article, this sea- son. It is asfonishing how the boys drop in for their mail since Miss Annie is clerk. The young people have reorfzanized a Bible meeting to alternate with their singing here, on Sunday ‘evenings. What a change this place, as well as others, have made in the last decade of years. I remember the time when evening meetings at this church were a rare occasion, and church was con- ducted only every four weeks, while Sunday school was only kept up in the few summer months. Now the young people have taken hold of the work and Sunday school and Bible meetings are kept up the year around.

A Champion Sleepwalker. Philadelphia Record. Farmer Broadbelt of Berwyn, Ches- ter county, Pa., has a very good claim upon the title of champion somnambu- list. One morning Broadbelt arose from his bed at 2 o'clock, and, without stopping to change his nightrobe for more suitable attire, went out to the barn and milked all of his 16 cows and prepared the milk for market. This took considerable time, of course, but after that was done he hitched up the horse and wagon, and toading the milk cans upon the latter, drove off to the There he urloaded station. the cans | according to his daily custom and drove | back home. The dawn was just breaking when he | . | ried drove the wagon into the barnyard,but Broadbelt took no notice of that. Ile was sound asleep and had been so dur- ing the entire perfcrmance.

One of the best things about this num- ber is that it does not merely give an external illustration of each ship, but it takes the reader down below decks. and initiates him into the mysteries of the magazines, handling rooms, ammu- rition- hoists and motive machinery. The sectional views of the interior of the turrets of the monitors are excep- tionally fine, as are the large wood en- gravings of the engines of the “Mass:- chusettes.” The last page of the num- ber contains complete tables of the new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the various naval guns.
