AT A NEGRO REVIVAL.
| Unlettered Men Who Wlwly Expound the
Troth.
, We were a party of six, all Sunday
' school teachers, all supposed Scriptural
experts. One of our number was a re
tired American Missionary association,
worker and another one had been prepar
tag for the foreign mission field when her
. health failed her. The flVe of us accepted
’ the invitation of the sixth, our hostess, to
• attend a colored revival meeting near by.
i We were the only white people in the
crowded church. All about us were dusky
faces; all around us the inqllow negro
voices rang out in characteristic negro re
vival songs. The words were trivial, the
: choruses but disjointed bits of sentences,
but the melody was intoxicating to the
senses. Though untuned, what voices;
untratasd, without rule, yet with a
. strange rhythm and passionate fire that
stirred one’s pulses as never operatic aria
could!
Our dark skinned brethren were of the
Christian religion; therefore they were
nearer to us than heathen. Nevertheless
between us and them rolled a great gulf.
They were illiterate, emotional babes in
the gospel. They had never beard of the
higher criticism and never studied Barnes
or Adam Clarke and were not afraid of
De Wette or Renan. So we sat there with
the patronizing air that human beings are
apt to assume when thrown in contact
with, mortal*less wise than themselves.
Brother Jonah Watkins, a white wooletl,
bent bucked man of 70, was called upon
to pray. He responded, in nowise over
awed by our superior presence. He prayed
as though his lips had Indeed been touched
bya Jive coal from God’s own altar.
"O Lord,The prayed, “thou knowest
dis people. Herb we are befo’ de, down on
our marrer bones in de lowlands of sorrow.
Raise us up, deah Lord, ah stan us up
upon our feet upon de mountain tops of
glory. An de sinnahs of dis congregation,
deah Lord, smite ’em wld de hammah of
Jeremiah”—
I heard no-more. “The haminah of
Jeremiah"—what was it? I had read the
prophet Jeremiah through and through,
with the Commentaries and Bible diction
aries open at evary page, but never a syl
lable had lcaught about Jeremiah’s ham
mer. What did this bent backed colored
man know about Jeremiah that the wire
teachers ot the law had overlooked? The
question was broached on the homeward
walk. Our party had all been struck with
the expression, but not one of us six Sun
day school teachers had the remotest idea
of what Jeremiah’s hammer might be.
The next day six men and women read
their Bibles, and each of the six began at
the first verse of the first chapter of Jere
miah. One by one as we reached the
twenty-ninth verse of the twenty-third
chapter we found wbat we were after.
“Is not my word like a fire? salth the
Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the
rock In pieces?" Jeremiah’s hammer was
God’s word, that was able to break down
the flinty resistance of the Indifferent souL
Could Scripture reference have been more
applicable? And the wonder of aH was
that this low barn son of toil, spelling hie
text out word by word, should have found
the kernel of the meat, while others, with
every help at hand, passed over it.— In

Nitrogen Traps.
We can draw upon the stock of nitrogen
in the atmosphere by means of sunlight
acting upon and vitalizing leguminous
crops, such as clover, vetches and peas.
All of these can be grown as “ between
crops," so as not to interfere with the reg
ular crops. Clovers can be sown In the
stubble of small grain or even with the
grain seed. Vetches and peas can be sown
in standing corn at the last cultivation.
The selection of a crop to be used as a
nitrogen trap depends largely upon the
locality, soil and system of rotation. For
states south of the Ohio and Potomao riv
ers, the cowpea, crimson clover and sand
vetoh are the three most satisfactory. For
more northern states, red clover, Canada
pea and winter vetoh promise most. -
In general any legume known to thrive
upon the soil will be satisfactory as a ni
trogen trap. When such a legume is once
found and adopted, it should be continued
year after year, as there crops never give
the best results until they have been
grown upon the same field for several sea
sons—the longer the better. Rye, turnips
and othvr nonleguminous crops which are
sometimes turned Under are of no value as
nitrogen gatherers. All the legumes
named, except sand vetoh, make valuable
fodder, and their use as fodder does not
detract from their value as fertilizers, if
fed upon the farm and the resulting ma
nure returned to the land. For soils too
sandy to produce good clover or winter
vetch blue and white lupines and sand
vetch are recommended for all but the
coldest parts of the United States. The
latter three are worthless as fodder.—Cor.

Veedtog Pet Dogs.
In small families there is often a good
deal of complaint that there are no scraps
left over frem the meals to feed the dog.
To purchase regularly the biscuits that
come ready prepared becomes after awhile
a financial tax that may be severely felt
by those who have but little means and
must make that little go a great way.
With a bit of good judgment and care
one may provide for this important branch
of the family at small expanse. After ths
•oup is served there 1» almost always a re
siduum at the bottom of the pot. Put this
In a kettle and kSepffi in a cool place until
a oonsiderobJs quantify of scraps and left
over soup accumulates. Pour into this
any surplus milk, sweet or sour, that may
be on band and place the kettle on the
stovs to boll, stirring it frequently, that it
may not burn. Then stir in until it is as
thick as it can be handled some ground
feed, inch as is prepared for farm animals
and sold at feed stores. This feed has a
quantity of coarse oats in it and should be
sifted through an ordinary flour sifter
before it is stirred into the soup. Remove
the kettle from the fire and when partly
cool add one teaspoonful of soda and two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder for every
four quarts of the batter. It may then be
rolled out into biscuits or dropped from a
spoon upon greased pans. Bake the cakes
until ouite brown in a very hot oven. If
packed in a dry place, they will keep in
definitely.—Now York Lodger.

SCARED THE RED MEN
HOW A CROWD OF CATTLE MEhIJBROKR
UP A GHOST DANCE, j)
A Roman Candle Bombardment That
Stampeded the Three Hundred Braves
and Started Them on a Run That Last
ed Into the Next Day.
“We never called Rooney by the
name of Jack, although his Christian
name was John,*and in the cattle coun
try they was few men named after
Christ’s chief disciple who was not
known as Jack. We always called him
John Rooney. The last I ever heexd of
him be were living up In Nebraska, not
far from Ogallala, on the south fork of
the Platte, just after the stream leaves
the Colorado line. ” ,
Thus discoursed a former cattleman,
who is now pursuing a peaceful and
commonplace life in Kansas City, the
other evening. He was talking of life
on the big cattle range in the days when
the fame of Dodge City, Abilene, Hayes
City and Ellis was on -the wane as tough
towns of Kansas and their upbuilding as
law abiding oommunities had begun.
“In Jktan days,” he continued, “our
openings for fun was less frequent than
national holidays are at present. It was
mostly bard riding, and lots of it It
gives us all a sorter yearning to bust
loose the cinches and raise hell at the
first opportunity, and sometimes the
way we did it was as nniqne as they
was startling. The time I speak of in
this pertlokler yarn we was grazing a
big btfnch of Cattle, mostly long horns, in
the Cherokee strip, along the north
fork of the Canadian river, within a
day’s rifling of old Fort Supply. The
Osagesand some other tribes used to
come ta there for their green corn and
harvest dances and have highfallootin
ole times in general. We all remarks
this and speaks of it sorter scornful be
cause we did not like Injuns much no
how. When I say this, I don’t mean
that Rooney was the one to put the
quirt to the Injuns. He was overquiet
on the subject. He generally was peace
fullike and ca’m. He was a thinker,
Rooney was, and with some schooling
and a little politics would have been a
great man in the city I ’low.
“About this time the camp begins to
get short on grub, and some four or five
of the boys was sent to Medicine Lodge,
across the Kansas line, with wagons to
bring back a supply of necessaries. Kan
sas was not a prohibition state then,
and you could get most any kind of
stimulant in Medicine Lodge—that is
to say, they had rye and Bourbon whis
ky, and I suppose they also had beer.
In them days I never could see the vir
tues of beer.
“As I was saying, you could get
about any kind of liquor you wanted in
Medicine Lodge, and so we kept pretty
well wet Rooney here displayed his
sagacity. While we all baa forgotten
all about them pesky Injuns he oomes
in one day wo was to leave and puts in
to the wagon about 20 of them big ro
.man candles that shoot ten times, you
know, each shot a big ball of yellow,
red or bluish flame.
“ ‘What you going to do with them
Fourth of July fixings now?* we all asks,
seeing as how it was getting closer to
Thanksgiving. ’
“ ‘Never yon mind that,* said John,
kinder winking his eye southeast.
“So we all was mighty curious during
the trip back to the Canadian, but sayeu
nothing. A few days after we gets back
them Injuns begins gathering for a an
nual feast of some kind, and then one
night they prepares for one -of them
dances. Os course, all of the boys what
could be spared wanted off ■to see the
monkey business of them redskins.
Then John Rooney, he called a council
of war and unfolded the secret of them
roman candles what he bought at Med
icine Lodge. He tells all the boys, some
15 in number, to stay with him, and
leads the way to the timber, where the
ghost dance was going on. We all takes
one of them roman candles and no one
speaks a word or epughs or makes any
loud signs.
“ When them 800 braves was a-tearing
up the ground and yelling' at the height
of the dance, we gets the word from
Rooney and lights up them candles
simultaneous, and they begin shooting
fire and brimstone into them Injuns
sure enough. The boys wasn’t used to
shooting off them things and was about
half scared theirselves at the devilish
hissing and the sparks, but themlnjuns
—well, I can’t say what they thought,
but it was plain how they acted. Some
of ’em took to the other side of the
woods, some jumped straight up, a lot
went for the north fork of the Canadian,
running so fast it ’nd take four men to
see ’em. Stop then? Well, I guess not.
They jumped right in and swum for
Sear life. They never stopped to see
lat the blamed fire had quit, and fel
lers working on the range the other
side of the fork said they saw them
running the next morning when they
was just starting their day’s riding.
“That night’s devilment like to got
ns all into trouble, though, and the
njost of us discreetly struck out for
Khnsas to avoid any unpleasant conse
quences. But laugh—say, I never laugh
ed so in my life.”—Kansas City Star.

A Good law.
A law has just been passed in Fiance
forbidding any one to give solid food to
infants under a yearjold without the
written authority of a physician. In
France, too, the long rubber tubes to
feeding bottles are forbidden under
heavy penalties. Everywhere people are
warned not to use them, the reason be
ing that it is impossible to keep them
properly sterilized.

“The off horse has lost a shoe from
the right fore foot, ” said the ooaohman,
as he drew up opposite a wayside black
smith shop. “Shall I stop and have it
replaced?"
“Byall means, ” replied the owner
of the curricle, Senator Aaron Burr of
New Vork, “it is always the proper
thing to keep your horses well shod,
and, besides, I am only too glad of a
chance to stretch my legs after so long
a drive. While the smith is'busy I will
stroll to the top of one of these beauti
ful Ulster county hills.”
When he returned half an hour later,
he to glance a« the side cf a
barn near the shop and saw with sur
prise an accurate though hunjedly
drawn charcoal picture of his curricle
and horses.
“Who drew that?” he inquired.
“That little frouzy hsad yonder,"
replied the blacksmith, pointing to a
. boy in homespun who was chopping
wood In the dooryard opposite as if his
whole mind was occupied with his task.
“Halloo, my lad, ” called Bun-, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air of one who has been caught in
some misdemeanor he added pleasantly,
“If ever you want to change your occu
pation and see life, just put a clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this ad
dress in New York," and he crossed
the road to hand the boy a slip of paper.
The team was soon on its homeward
way, and in a short time the incident
passed from the crowded mind of Aaron
Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at
breakfast, a servant brought him a pack
age containing a homemade clean shirt
and said that a boy at the door had
asked her to deliver it as an all suffi
cient introduction. But "the senator
could not understand its significance, so
he sent for the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius of the
roadside.
With all his faults, Burr wa» a gen
erous man at heart, and he spared
neither pains nor expense to give the ,
youth the best of instruction in his
chosen profession. From an artistio
point of view the student became very
successful as the great painter Vander
lyn, although he lived a life of poverty.
He painted portraits of Aaron
Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, from
which were taken the fine engravings
by which we know them. He died near
the spot where he drew the picture of
the waiting team. His career is a noble
monument to the better side of the na
ture of his benefactor, a nature hot
wholly devoid of sweetness and light,
although darkened by frequent clouds
through his mature life and finally
eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely
selfish ambition.—Atlanta Constitution.
GOLFING PHILOLOGY.
-' ii •
Derivation of Curious Tonus WhicM Be
lon* to the Game.
To the enthusiastic golfer the game is
never out of season. Fitted with “arc
tic" goloshes and a warm knitted
waistcoat, heTs seen upon the links on
many a day which, appears inclement to
the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard
of snow and ice is natural when one
comes to look up the derivation of golf
ing terms. Many of the words come di
rectly from the Icelandic languages,
others have synonyms in Gaelic or
Swedish.
The tee, or little nodule of gravel or
earth from which the golfer strikes off
his ball, at the beginning of each link,
is derived from “tia, ” an Icelandic verb
signifying ‘‘ to point out. ’ ’ J
Again, “golf" itself evidently comes
from the Scandinavian “kolf," a dub,
the Gaelic form being “colb" and the
Icelandic form being “kolfr" (a clapper
of a bell or bulb).
The “links’* come straight from the
Swedish “lynka," meaning a “twist"
or “crook;" hence its application to the
windings of the coast, the sandy, barren
ground called “links" in Sootland.
To “put” (pronounced “putt")comes
from the Gaelic “put," signifying to
push or throw, as when the useful “put
ter" propels the golf ball from the
“putting green" into the holo.
The “lofter" is derived from the Ice
landic “loft"—that is, shy or air—a
Danish form being “loft" for ceiling or
loft.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
One Veteran Without • Pemton.
I sat on a hill with a sergeant who
knew history and horses. He remem
bered Pansy, which had served 16 years
in the troop and a first rate old horse
then, but a d——d inspector with no
soul came browsing around one day and
condemned that old horse. Government
got a measly |lo or something like
that This ran along for a time, when
ope day they were trooping up some
lonely valley, and, behold, there stood
Pansy, as thin as a snake, tied by a
wiokieup. He greeted the troop with
joyful neighs. The soldiers Asked the
captain to be allowed to shoot but
of course he said ho. I oould not learn
if he winked when he said it The col
umn wotmd over the hill, a carbtae
rang from its rear, and Pansy lay dbwn
in the dust without a kick. Death is
better than Indian for a hone. The
thing was not noticed at the time,
but made a world of fns? afterward,
though how it all came out the sergeant
did not develop, nor was it necessary.—
