MINISTERS NOT TO OFFICIATE Thorough • Discussion of ths Subjoct at Buffalo Finds Majority Opposed to Legal Separation of Man and Wife Except for Adultery. Buffalo special: The discussion on •tarriage and divorce in the Presby­ terian general assembly Monday was lively and resulted in adopting an ac­ tion "enjoining all ministers under the care of the general assembly to refuse to perform the marriage cere- atony 1b the cases of divorced persons except as such persons have been divorced upon grounds and for causes recognized as scriptural in the stand­ ards of the church." In addition to thia declaration the original report of the committee con­ tained farther clauses which said: "Recognizing the comity which should exist between Christian churches, and believing that it would be desirable and tend to the increase of a spirit of Christian unity, we earn­ estly advise all the ministers under the care and authority of this general assembly to refuse to unite in mar­ riage any person or persons whose marriages such ministers have good reason to believe is forbidden by the laws of the church in which such person or persons seeking to be mar­ ried may hold membership. Indorses Interchurch Appeal. "The appeal and address to the in­ terchurch conference is hereby in­ dorsed by this general assembly and commended to the consideration of all our ministers and congregations. The stated clerk is instructed to issue it in such form and to such extent as may seem desirable and expedient, and it Is requested that it be read by pastors from their pulpits on some appropriate Sabbath." There was intense excitement dur­ ing the discussion. The Rev. Dr. 14 in ton and President Patton warmly opposed recognizing the canons of other denominations on the subject and insisted that adultery alone was a ground for divorce. The resolu­ tion recognizing the principles of comity towards other churches on the subject thereupon was stricken out on a vote of 262 to 244. The committee on marriage and di­ vorce was continued and instructed to. "cooperate with the representa­ tives of other churches in endeavor­ ing to obtain such ecclesiastical unity and such state or national legislation as may shield both church and state from existing and impending perils." Advocates Ritual Service. The report on a ritual service made by the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke also was a feature of the day. He held that "all Presbyterian churches in the beginning had forms of service, and that 757 of our ehurches are already using forms of service and nine-tenths of our min­ isters ask for a unifying of the dif­ ferent forms of service." Aware of strong opposition in the assembly to ritualism. Dr. Van Dyke spoke an hour up to the hour of ad­ journment, when the time was ex­ tended, to approve the report and eontinne the committee to complete Its werk aocordlng to original instruc­ tions as given last year.

Woodcock Teaches Good Lesson for Those on Fishing Bent. Choosing a piece 6f chocolate color­ ed, rich looking soil, the woodcock dug some fifteen or twenty holes in this soil, an inch or two apart, with his bill. Then he began a kind of cake walk. He beat the earth with his wings; he rapped it with his bill sharply; leaping into the air, he alighted, stiff and heavy, on his feet. Was the woodcock insane? Evident­ ly not. For now the noses of many inquisitive earthworms began to pro­ trude from the holes the bird had drilled. The earthworms had heard the noise and they wished to know what the trouble was. They turned their heads slowly from side to side. The woodcock devoured them, one by one. That Is the way woodcocks get earthworms to eat, and fishermen may learn a lesson from the birds. If a fisherman will make & • number of holes, in the soil, and then beat upon the earth with his knuckles the worms underneath will come up through the holes to find out what is going on, and their capture will be easy. . • A Happy Mother. Maple Hill, la., May 30.--A very re­ markable case occurred here recent­ ly. The" people here have never seen anything like it and it may interest many others. From his infancy, Verne, the little five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Barfoot of this place has been sickly. His mother consulted a doctor, but he did not begin to improve till some­ one suggested that she try a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills. From un­ mistakable symptoms she had always believed that his kidneys were the first cause of all the trouble, so she bought a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and began giving little Verne two pills a day. In two or three days she noticed an improvement and she kept on till he had used about two boxes when to her great joy he was all right. Every­ body remarks how much better Verne looks and Mrs. Barfoot always ex­ plains, "Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life." Flower Blooms for a Night. A marvelous flower shown recently in California belongs to the cactus family. It is a large plant that blooms once In twenty years. That Is to say, In its natural state, for when it is kept in a heated greenhouse through­ out the winter season and given care­ ful cultivation it blooms more fre­ quently. Its peculiarity is that it opens only for a night, but on that oc­ casion it makes up in loveliness for what it lacks in frequency. In the morning it is withered and dead. To take a photograph of it a watch had to be kept at night on the bud, In or­ der that the opportunity of securing it might not be lost. How's This?

It Is quite generally agreed that rap­ idly growing trees are more apt to be attacked by blight than slower grow­ ing ones, said Frederic Cranefield in an address. In general terms, condi­ tions conducive to rapid growth in the apple and pear 'are conducive to blight. Heavy manuring and culti­ vation both induce a rapid growth and the new rapidly growing tissues, are the first attacked. Old bearing trees growing in sod land rarely suffer from twig blight There is but little new growth on such trees. A circu­ lar letter was sent to many fruit men in Wisconsin last year from the sta­ tion, requesting answers to numerous questions, among them this one: "Is the blight more destructive to the trees that are cultivated or to those on sod land?" Ninety-eight per cent of those who answered, stated that the trees on cultivated land suffered most When you ask for reports on the ex­ tent of blight as affecting different varieties, most conflicting answers are sure to be/received. According to my present limited knowledge, I doubt if any variety of apple at least is more subject to blight than any other. Neith­ er have I been able to learn that any variety is immune. The same is proba­ bly true of pears. Any conditions that induce rapid growth, afford condi­ tions favorable to the blight bacteria. Remedies: This end ot the subject is of the most interest to fruit growers and unfortunately with our present knowledge of the disease, the one that can be presented with the least satis­ faction. However, it is generally agreed that spraying is of no value in checking blight. The organism that causes the disease works wholly with­ in the bark in twig blight at least and is therefore beyond the reach of sprays. If we treat our orchards so as to induce an excessive growth, we lay the trees open to attack by blight, while if only a riorffial growth occurs, they are less likely to fre attacked. We can certainly check the disease in any case by cutting out the blighted twigs in summer, if cut back one or two feet beyond the visible point of injury. The most valuable work consists in cut­ ting out every blighted twig late in the fall in order to remove any pos sible cases of "hold-over" blight. Checking Cutworms. In all gardening operations more or zees trouble] is experienced from the attacks of cutworms. Sometimes a good many plants are cut off in a single night. This trouble is made worse by the use of barnyard manure, which is later found to have con­ tained the eggs that hatched into cut­ worms. The use of this manure can­ not be avoided very well. At least it is easier to fight the cutworms than to disarrange the methods of doing the garden work. The worms gener­ ally feed near the top of the ground and near the moisture line. In wet weather they crawl about from one plant to the other, but during ordinary weather their attacks are usually de­ livered under the surface of the soil. One way of protecting the plants against the attacks of these worms is 16 wrap paper loosely about them at setting time, having the paper reach at least an inch below the ground and two inches above. The worms do not seem to know how to get under or over such an obstruction. In a dry time the wrapper should extend below the moisture line in the soil, but be­ low that line the worms will not go. Care should be taken to have it loose enough about the stem to leave the plant free to develop naturally. In some cases gardeners that have many plants to protect use tin protectors. Strips of tin about eight inches long and three inches wide are used. Be fore the tin is bent into a circle the ends for about one inch are folded back to form two hooks that clasp in to each other and make the joint "that holds the cylinder together. When the danger from worms is past these cylinders are taken off and stored away to be used in subsequent years. Brown Tail Moth Hairs. It is somewhat surprising to bear that a caterpillar can become a men ace to health. A press bulletin of the New Hampshire station says: One of the most serious effects of the presence of the Brown-tall Moth in a community is that of the peculiar skin disease it may produce. Some of the hairs of the full-grown caterpillars are furnished with minute barbs. When the caterpillars molt these barbed hairs are shed with the skin, and as the skins become dry and are blown about by the wind the hairs may be quite generally disseminated. When the hairs alight upon the hu­ man s}tin they cause an irritation, which upon rubbing may develop into inflammation. In New Hampshire this phase of the insect's presence has al­ ready become evident. At Ports­ mouth a clothes-reel was near a tree infested by the caterpillars. The fam­ ily were greatly trouble^ through the summer by extraordinary irritations of the skin for which they were un­ able to account, but which were doubt­ less due to caterpillar hairs blown from the pear tree to the clothes up­ on the reel. In the same city a gen­ tleman in removing a caterpillar which had landed upon his neck scat­ tered some of the hairs, which pro­ duced an eruption similar to, but con­ siderably worse than that produced by poison ivy. Some plantlets need help to burst the seed-case. In many seeds having hard and strong seed-cases, as the walnut, butternut and hickory nut, and the pits of the plum, peach and cherry, the enlarging plantlet is often unable to burst the seed-case; hence germ!- pation cannot take place unless as­ sisted by the expanding power of frost, or long exposure to moisture, which softens the seed-case, or unless the seed-case is cracked before the seeds are planted.--Principles of Plant Culture.

I have been using your medicine tor a short period and I fee! very much relieved. It is indeed m wonderful medicine be­ sides a good tonic*" At. C- Buffer. The only rational way to cure dys­ pepsia is to reipove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh.' Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform d iges- tion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to arti­ ficial methods or narcotics. Peruna has cured more cases of dys­ pepsia than all other remedies com­ bined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or' bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. V PerunA is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon oatarrh.
