NineteenCenturies of Growth It will soon be nineteen con tur i.s since angelic voices o'er J ude- an hills announced to the shep herds the birth of Jesus, who in his death was to be Savior of all and.: in his resurrected life Kins of all. Centuries have length ened out since the earthly mis sion of the Babe of Bethlehem was "finished; since, returning to his Father to receive all power in heaven and earth, he committed to his disciples and followers the completion of the work he had begun, the world's salvation. In the record of those years there lias been much to call forth in tensest sorrow; but the careful student sees the history of the -church, as tlie path of the just, shining' more and more unto the lerfect day. At the end of the first century, the century of ajKstolic labors, the movement that has been born in a manger and destroyed, as its enemies fondly dreamed, on the (toss, numbered among its fol lowers, gathered in the face of persecution and death, a million and a half of believers. The next two centuries were spent in tha death struggle with heathenism in" the bounds of the Roman Em pire.8 At the end of the 2nd cen tury it had but two millions ad -Horents, but at the end of the third century it numbered five million. After that, under -the pitnmage of Roman Emperors, its numerical strength rapidly increased. During the 4th cen tury the number of Christians was doubled. At the end of the "tii centurv, there were 15 mil lion Christians; of Gth, HQ million; of 7th. t million; of. 8th, 30 mil lion; of Uth, 10 million; of 10th, r0 million; of 11th, 70 million: of 1-th. M) 'million. The 13th cen tury is the only one since the or iTvinization i n7 which there has 'been a decline. The 14th century .only gained what the 13th lost Tiie work of the -15th, 16th and 1 7 1 h cen t u rie s wa s chielly reform -atory; but renewed life brought renewed growth, and at the ends of thse centuries, respectively, 'the church numbered 100, 1-3 and l.V million. Notwithstanding the rapid advance of civilization dur ing the 18th century, there was little' .grow tli, relatively, in the tirst sixty years of that century. At the end of. -the century there were 174 million Christians, j i In the closing years of the 18th century, the church was blessed with a revival as far-reaching in its effect on life as the reforma tion had been on doctrine. One feature of this revival was the awakening in evangelical hearts of the. desire which had called forth the sacrifice of calvary, which had sent Paul through the dangers of wild beasts, robbers, shipwrecks and persecutions to a martyr's death, which had in spired the simple hearted but faithful heralds of the cross, who braved writer's cold and savage hate, to carry the truth to our fore-fathers in German v and Britian- the desire to bring the world to Christ. Mighty has been the fruit of that desire, and mightily does it increase. It took 18 centuries to reach 174 million; the last century lias seen an in crease 319 million. The last decade-has added as many to the church of Christ as the total num ber after eleven centuries. And this with so little knowledge or interest among the great mass of Christains. What may even the last five years of this century ac complish if the church w ill awake to its glorious mission ! But alas! of the 493 millions who profess the cross, how few are at work, heart and powers, to extend its peace-giving sway. Awake, O Zion ! Put forth 'thy. strength, O Israel! N. IL D W. The Iowa Meteorite. The Boston Commonwealth says: A close examination of the fragments of the Winnebago County (Iowa) meteorite has been made by Prof. H. A. Newton, of Yale College. More than a thou sand pieces of the meteor are in the museum at Yale, and the ex amination of them results in some interesting deductions. The me teor was a very noticeable one and attracted the attention of very many persons over a large extent of country, from the com parison of whose stories the de tails of the meteor's approach have been determined. One man, a surveyor, had the iresehce of mind to direct hisi theodolite to the cloud left after Ithe explosion, i ? - and an accurate reading of his circles gave most reliable data. The fragments were scattered oyer several square miles, and vary in size from a grain of dust, almost, to some eighty.-pounds. It is estimated that the meteor must have been at least five hun dred pounds in weight and was perhaps as large as a small flour barrel; and that it approached the earth with planetary velocity, or about ten miles per second, in an orbit not unlike that of the earth itself until within about five miles, when it burst. After the explosion, the velocity of the pieces could not have been great- .1 At A 1 A er man tnai oi sounu, or aooui ii quarter of a mile per second. Af ter the primary explosion,, there must have been numerous minor ones, evidence oi wnicn is ro oe seen in the fragments themselves. Their velocity was so ffroiit that the friction of the surfaces against the air caused the materi al to fuse and to How backward over the edges. Different stages of fusion are clearly noticeable, and in addition many cases of fresh fracture, which must have taken place when the fragment 1 A A 1 . lt was mute close xo me earui. Scientific American. A Mistake Often Made. Boys and young men some- times start out in lite wiin tne idea that one's success -depends i t- . on snarpness ana cmcauerv. Thev imagine, if a man is able al- wavs to tret the best of the bar- lin, y no matter by what deceit and meanness he carries ins point, that his 'prosperity is as sured. This is a great mistake. Endurinir prosperity cannot be founded on euuuing and dishoa- estv. The tricky ana aoeeitiui man is sure to fail a victim, soon or late, to ine innueuces wuicu are forever working against him. His house is built on the sand, aud its foundation will be sure to jnve wa v. Young people cannot ive these truths - too much weight The future of that young man is safe who eschews every phase of double dealing, and lays tne ioimuauoa oi uis career m the .enduring principles of ever lasting truth.

The taste of cakes made from parched corn meal, I find oh ex periment, differs as much from that of others made from fresh "Train as it does from the flavor of bread made by Mexican In dians from Metate crushed grains previousVy softened in hot lime water ; but, given the meal, the Lenape process of cooking the dough in the embers of an open fire is that to-day in use by the negroes of Southern Maryland and Virginia. In an ash cake baked in the em bers before me at Egglestons,' Giles county, Virginia, in Febru ary, 1894, (writes Mr. Mercer), they reproduced the mode pf the Lenape cook, while with their hoe cakes, originally baked by the cornfield hands on hoe blades thrust into the wattle and clay fire places in log cabins, another Indian cake, that cooked on flat heated stones, is imitated. Recipe for Hoe cakes. Put one pint of corn meal into a bowl and half a teaspoonf ul of salt ; pour over it sufficient boiling water to moisten the meal and let it stand ten minutes; then add the water until the batter will drop nicely from a spoon. Bake the same as griddle cakes on a hot griddle. When done, iut a piece of butter on the top of each cake and serve. The old colored cooks in the South used to make these cakes to per fection, and baked them on their hoes before a wood fire; hence the name. M. II. Kick. Lahaska, Pa. TO BE CONTINUED. 0 ; Our State University. A point not made in the dis cussion last evening but perti nent and proper now is, that when certain friends of the denomina tional colleges admit the right and necessitv of State aid to com- mon schools, they admit them selves out of court; because they have shown by their works, and earnest works too. that they are more in earnest about higher ed ucation than lower, for they have established and endowed colleges for higher education, and for this purpose they have accepted thousands of dollars from people too KK)r to obtain or afford the jbenefits of an ordinary business education. These friends ha vet shown bv their works that thev know we can never have a good svstem of lower education until we first establish a plan or plans for higher education.

Pleasure is cheap. Who will not bestow it liberally? If there are smiles, sunshine and flowers about us, let us not grasp them with a miser's fist, and lock them up in our hearts.

Who will refuse to do it." Selected. Origin of "Uncle Sam. Speculation has recently arisen regard Lug the origin of the term "Uncle Sam" as applied to the United States government. In the war of 1812, between this country and Great Britian, Elbert Anderson, of New York, purchased in Troy, N. Y. a Large amount of pork for the American army. It was inspected by Samuel Wilson, wrho was popularly known as "Uncle Sam." The barrels of pork were marked "E. A. U. S.," the lettering being done by a fa cetious employe of -Mr. Wilson. When asked by fellow-workmen the meaning of the mark (for the letters U. S., for United States, were then almost entirely new to them), said "he did not know, un- less it meant Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam," alluding to Un cle Sam Wilson. The joke took among the work men, and passed currently, and "Uncle Sam" himself being pres ent, was occasionally rallied on the increasing extent of his pos sessions. Jmxhi tne incident ap peared in print, and the joke gained favor rapidly, till it pene trated and was recognized in ev ery part of the country, and, says John Frost, the Boston historian, will no doubt continue so while the United States remains a na tion.
