tory and Purposes of the Society,

The annuai convention of the Society of Christign Endeavor, which meets this year at Montreal, Canada, beginning July 6, is expected to attract upward of 25,000 people to tha historic city, a much greater assemblage than has ever been gathered The preparations aiready made by the local committee, however, promise ample accommodations for this vast number, and it is quite certain

rates. The city has been thoroughly can- vassed for sleeping accommodations, and contracts have been entered into for the erection of three large dining tents where 1,500 people can be fed at once, which will

PRESIDENT CLARK.

SECRETARY BAER. TREASURER SHAW.

The meetings are to be held in the large government drill hall and on the Champ de Mars adjoining, where a large tent will be erected, in which services similar to and simultaneous with those in tte hall will be conducted. The drill hall will seat 9,009 people, and the tent is to accom- modate 8,000 more. The regular sessions will begin Thursday morning, July 6, at 10 o'clock, though oa the previous day there will be a meeting of the trustees at Windsor hall «nd large preparatory meetings in the evening in the different evangélical church- es. Many of the most eminent divines will take active part in the proceedings, and erlebrated evangelists, lay orators and temperance workers have been assigned races on the programme of the four days’ proceedings.

President Francis E. Clark, D.D., has positively announced his intention to be present. He will be home in ample time, as he leaves Liverpool on the Alaska on June 17, after the meeting of the national convention of Christian Endeavor for England at Bradford, which he will attend. Dr. Clark had a rough time of it in Turkey, where he undertook to foster the work of the society, and he will probably have something to say to the convention about his experiences. The government got after him and did everything possible to hinder his work, confiscating his books and other jiierature and forbidding him to use the name of the society in his addresses. Mavy of the societies there have been broken up, and if the Christian Endeavor movement progresses in Turkey it will be despite the efforts of the authorities.

President Clark and Secretary Baer will make their annual rep@#ts on Thursday aight, alternating between the drill hall and the tent so that the audiences in both places may have the benefit of hearing them. There will be no regular session on either Friday or Saturday afternoon, but denominational meetings in connec- the work will be held in some of the churches. On Friday evening the Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge of Ken- tucky will address the assemblage in the drill hall, his topic being “The Age and Its Possibilities.” Inthe big tent at the same time Rev. B. W. Arnett, D.D., bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal ehurch, will deliver an address on ‘‘Chris- tian Stewardship, or Money in the King- dom,’’ and Dr. Burrell of New York, one of the prominent trustees of the society will diseuss ‘‘Good Citizenship.” Satur- day morning will be devoted to missionary topics, and in the evening there will be a roll call in the drill hall of the states, ter- rituries, provinces and foreign countries represented in the convention. The even-

ing session in the tent will begin with what is ealled ‘the pastors’ hour,” one of the most interesting of the whole convention, at which some 20 or more eminent minis- ters will deliver what are called ‘‘minute guns” or ‘60-second sermons.

”

MONTREAL Y. M. C. A. BUILDING,

There will be no session on Sunday morning, but in the afternoon Thomas E. Murphy will deliver an address on ‘Gos pel ‘lemperance” in the drill hall, while Mrs. Frances J. Barnes, president of the National Young Women’s Christian Tem- perance union, will lecture in the tent on the same topic, to be followed by Rev. D. Burford Hooke of Londor, who will discuss “The Religious Press.” The sessions will close on Sunday evening with sermons and -onsecration services in both drill hall ata tent. Rev. Dr. T. H. Lewis of Maryland -o'lege will preach in the hall, and Presi- dent Clark will lead the consecration ser- | vice. Rev. B. Fay Mills will both preach: and lead the consecration service in the tent.

The local committee has ordered a map of Montreal to be printed and sent to every delegate, so that all may familiarize them- selves with the plan of the city and learn something of ite peculiar institutions and the enjoyable excursions in the vicinity, of which Montreal hasagreatmany. A drive to Lachine, going by the upper road and returning by the lower one, is very inter- eating and will give one a sight of the rapids of Sault St. Lovis and of the aaue- duct that supplies the city with water, near the head of which still stands the house of De la Salle. Opposite Lachine is the Mo-

hawk Indian village of Canghnawaga, very picturesque until you get close to it. Those who have not come down the St. Lawrence hy steamer can “‘shoot the rapids” by tak- ing one of the amall steamers at Lachine

But a person might go much farther from the city and not see anything finer than the view grom Mount Royal, the hill behind the city whence Jacques Cartier lovuked upon the land and saw that it was gooc. This has been appropriated for a public park, and the drive thither is some- thing not to be missed. Neither should the l:ttle trip to the park on St. Helen's islan i be omitted, for it will give you the chance of inspecting the famous Montreal quaye and the picturesque Bonsecours market and church, which are both near the wharf whence the steamers leave for the park. You cannot avoid the Place d’Armes and the Church of Notre Dame if you want to, for they are very much in evidence in the heart of the city, and you will not even have to ingnire about them, no matter how strange the town may be to yon. By all meaus take the elevator up te the tower roof and get the view, which is worth the time and trouble.

Then there i¢ the Seminary of St. Sul- pice, which adjoins Notre Dame in the rear (and into the quaint courtvard of which you can look from the tower), the Hotel Dieu, the Gray Nuns’ hospital, McGill uni- versity aud any number of churches and religious, educational and benevolent insti- tutions of all the creeds in Christendom and all schools of architecture, which you can spend your sp-+re time in visiting. The Episcopal Chrixt Church cathedral and the Catholic Cathedral of St. Peter are both maguificent buildings, the latter a reduced but very efective cony of. St. Peter's at

Rome. All good Endeavorers will of course pay a visit to the Young Men's Christian association building at the corner of Craig and Radegonde streets if only to see the exterior of the pretty bui.ding which is the home of an association whose objects are so similar to their own, ‘‘For Christ and the church.”

It is not necessary to devote much space to setting forth the history and purposes of the Christian Endeavor society. Every- body knows how it originated 11 years ago in the pastor's study of the Williston ehurch, in Portland, Me., and how it has gone on flourishing till now its membership amounts to a million and a half, and there are upward of 25,000 branches established throughout the civilized world, and some in localities not commonly considered to be civilized. ‘‘Father Endeavor Clark,” as the founder and president has been caress- ingly nicknamed by some of his followers, planted better than he knew, no doubt, but nevertheless he must be gratified at the increase from his grain of mustard seed, which has already waxed into a tree of surprising greatness, not unlike that to which the kingdom of heaven is compared in the gospel, and in which there can as yet be discovered no sign of decay.

Nor, so long as the society is true to ite origival purpoees, is there any need or likelihood of decay. Founded primarily tor the ‘‘quickening of the Spirit” in the individual and working for the general good mainly through individual influences, no valid reason can be given why its pheaomenal growth should not be more than doubled in the next decade if only the sams care be taken to keep it within the lines originally set forth.

A USEFUL FORMULA

For Ascertaining the Cubic Contents of Cylindrical Vessels.

A correspondent has sent us a very use- ful formula which is thought to be quite new. In findingthe contents of cylindrical vessels the ordinary rules call for the use of aggravating decimals or fractions. This peat little device does away with all the bother. Let the diameter of any cylindri- cal tank be given in feet; then take five times the square of the diameter; take off 2 per cent. and the result is gallons per foot high. This is simplicity itself. Both the simplicity of the rule end the near approach of its results to the accurate contents will appear from an example or two.

Let the tank be 10 feet diameter (inside of course).

10x10—100

5

500

Take off 2 per cent. .....10

490 gallons per foot deep, which is within one gallon of the accurate measurement (490,87 gal-

lons). Take an 11 foot tank: llxli—121 5 605 2 per cent............ = 12.1

592.9 gallons per foot deep, which is only one ang away from the accurate contents (593.96). A rule so simple and so useful almost de- serves a place in the common school texts. A note by the author draws attention to the fact that the 2 per cent. to be subtract- ed is always just one-tenth of the first term written down—10 for 100 and 12.1 for 121 and so on.

A FATAL QUARREL.

The Tragic Tale of a Snake That Loved a Rooster.

“Snakes don’t grow very big up our way,” said a Pike county man to the spake editcr of the New York Sun, ‘but they grow un common smart. A friend of mine, who lived back in the High Knob country, cap-

| tured a young blacksnake once and made apetofit. The snake got as tame asa kit- ten nud had the run of the premises. One

lay be got egg hungry, and he stole an egg frorn undera sitting hen and swallowed is. The egg was juston theeveof batching, and the chick picked its way out of the egg asit lay inside the snake, and not finding daylight yet kept on picking until it had picked a hole through the snake and stuck its head out. That was as far as it could eet, and there it stuck.

THE ROOSTER CROWS.

“The snake didn’t like it at first, but by and by the novelty of the situation seem- ed to strike him, and he grew proud af that strange living protuberance. My friend didn’t faterfere, curious to see what the re sult of that singular companionship would be. The chicken and the snake grew very fond of one another, and it was worth a farm to see’em go to sleep together, the snake turning its head back and snuggling down byt’ e chicken’s head. The snake kept the chick well supplicd with food, catching flies and worms and insects of va rious kinds and passing them back to the chicken by the hundred. The chicken grew like a weed, and along toward the end of the summer the blacksnake’s bocy was pouched out like a small hand satchej where the chicken was spreading out, and the latter’s neck stretched nearly six inches above the snake’s back. It was the funni- est eight you ever saw and touching, too, the two creatures doted on each other sa, But their end was sad.

“One day along in August the snake and his friend were taking a nen. Presently the chicken woke up, stretched his neck te its full length and got rid of his first crow, The first crow of a young rooster, even when he has tlic aid that seems to be in the flopping of his incipient wings, is always a heartrending performance, and as this rooster couldn't use his wings his first crow was real spooky. The snake woke up with astart. He looked wildly abont. He was seared and no mistake, but finally made up his mind that he had been dreaming and settled down to finish his nap. He had scarcely closed his eyes when the young rooster, encouraged by his first attempt, stretched his neck and tried his voice again. Thesnake jumped as much as 1¢ feet, his eyes full of terror, and sailed around that yard as if he were flying from an avenger. He came to astop by and by, but glared wildly and panted like a hot dog. The chicken seemed to enjoy the per formance hugely, and while the snake was still trembling he let go another crow.

“Then the snake discovered where the queer noise was coming from, and he turned a look on the chicken that was ter rible in {ts reproachfulness. The young rooster would have done well if he had heeded it, but he didn’t. He stretched his neck as high as he could and crowed again, square in the snake’s face.

“The snake struck at the chicken’s head, but missed it. The chicken got mad and clipped the snake in the head with his bill, And then it went. They tumbled and fought around that yard for five minutes, Then they suddenly became quiet. The snake had got the chicken’s head in his mouth and swallowed it, neck and all. He had killed bis friend, but had choked him- self to death in doing it.”

Relics of Lafitte, the Famous Bucosneer. Fishermen in Galveston bay, near Vir ginia point, recently discovered at low tide two oid cannons, which were found to be made of copper mixed with small quanti- ties of silver. The two pieces are of same make and weigh about 750 pounds each, and both bear the inscription, “Santa Fe de ta, June 13, 1788." One is stamped

“El Cruel” and the other “E] Fuerte.”

There seems to be no doubt that these guns once formed a portion of the arma ment of one of Lafitte’s vessels, for it isa well known fact that in 1818, while that pirate chief held possession of Galveston island, a terrible hurricane swept over the place, driving four of his schooners ashore on Virginia point, where they were after ward burned by savages, and drowning the greater portion of their crews.

During Lafitte’s occupation the island was a regular slave mart, thousands of Africans being taken from Spanish slavers by the privateers of the freebooter. The average price of a healthy negro was $1 a pound. These negroes were run into Lou- isiana by land, where they were sold te planters, the celebrated Bowie family being engaged in this business, by which they amassed thousands of dollars.

In Minneapolis recently a man entered a pawnshop aud offered to “put up’’ a $200 | watch for $50. The pawnbroker was glad to take it at that price, and while be was getting the money the customer cleverly substituted another watch exactly similar in appearance to the first one, but witha possible market value of $2. He got the money and vanished.
