) TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, POKTLAXD, 1908. BISHOP SCADDING ON BT RT. KEV. CHARLES RCADDINQ. BISHOP ur un.r-.-rt..-. THE Pan-An(llon ConitrM of 1908. one of the most remarkable and In spiring religious gatherings of the age. has Just concluded its sessions in London. The opening service was held In Westminster Abbey and the closing serv ice of Thanksgiving in St. Paul s Cathe dral. The Cathedral wu filled In every part within a few minute of the doors bfilng thrown open. With that careful fore thought and regard for reverence which have become so characteristic of St. Paul's, every detail had been so well ar ranged that the most perfect order pre vailed throughout the whole service. Punctually at 12 o'clock the opening words of the special litany rose from the west end of the cathedral, whither the choir and cathedral clergy, preceded by the erossbearer. had proceeded to meet the great array of bishops, who. robing ' In the crypt, had passed out by one of the garden doors and round the outside of the cathedral to the great west doors. The effect of this long procession of bish ops passing through the streets in the heart of, the city at the busiest hour of the day made a great impression on the large crowds who witnessed It. The lit any, which was sung alternately by four minor canons and the choir and congre gation, contained petitions for the cast ing out from the church of all error and worldlinesa and for the granting to it of peace and unity: also for the pardon of the sins of Christians in heathen lands and for the strengthening of all converts to the faith, that they might be given "perseverance to the end." Procession of Bishops. The bishops' were grouped according to their provinces or according to the re gions from whence they came, a sep arate group being formed for those dio ceses which are under the direct Juris diction of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Each group was preceded by a mace bearer, the maces being lent for the oc casion by some of the ancient London churches. ' The Archbishop of Canterbury gave a brief address. After the recitation of special prayers and the Joining In the creed by the whole congregation, the archbishop led an ascription of praise and, this ended, first the archbishop himself and then the other bishops In the order of their prov inces, laid the thank offerings of their respective dioceses upon the altar, a se lection from Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise" being sning by the choir, with orchestral accompaniment, during this offering. When the offerings had all been made, the splendid hymn, "Now Thank We All Our God." was sung with a thrilling effect by the congregation, and after this the Te Deum was sung to Sir , George Martin's Diamond Jubilee set ting, "as a solemn act of thanksgiving The Care of Hanging Baskets M ANT people get great pleasure out of hanging baskets. If filled with care, plants will flourish Indoors in Winter Just as well as they do on our porchea at this season. It is our object here to enumerate a class of plants that we know to be suitable for this pur pose the entire year. Plants for hanging baskets must un necessarily be such as will withstand a very dry atmosphere and also be little Injured by being thoroughly dried out occasionally. We know that baskets . hanging suspended In the warm windows and In sunny porches dry out very fast and are apt In most cases to need more water than they receive. We cannot be ' successful with out hanging baskets when they are filled with tender, soft, summer- ', flowering climbers and trailers. These will not stand the hot dry air of the house and even If they should they would be very apt to tbe stunted with Insects. Plants In hanging baskets should have a soli composed of good loam, manure and sand, say half soil and the balance well- - rotted manure and sand in about equal proportions. The whole should be thor oughly pulverised and mixed together be fore using. The 'basket should be started in early August, so that the plants will be thor oughly established before being brought Indoors. In this way they are pretty at the start, and If proper plants are used and they receive ordinary care and at tention the basket will be an important feature of your window garden. Many hanging baskets have a variety . of plants, but we rather like to see the basket filled with one sort. Unless the basket is very large there Is not root - rrim enough to sustain in full vigor a variety of strong-growing vines. Suitable Plants. Othonna Crassifolia, commonly called the pickle plant. Is a very rapid growing. ' trailing vine that is easily grown and one of the most satisfactory plants that can be used. They are especially desirable from tre fact that they will flourish with little moisture and are seldom attacked by Insect pests of any kind. The othonna requires little care beyond watching after "It is well started. A well-grown specimen will droop down from a basket several feet and is really a very effective decoration. The Othonna Is as easily propagated as it Is grown. Simply cut oft a bunch of shoots, plant them in a pot and keep them shaded for a few days and they will start at once to growing. The Individual flower of tha othonna Is not very striking, very much resembling a small yellow daisy, but when borne In large quantities, as they flower on well-established plants in contrast with the peculiar foliage, are very effective. Cedums In variety are easily grown and make very effective basket plants. C Camea has very small foliage and In - habit very much resembles the othonna. C Lieboldil has thick, fleshy, glanceous fnllage. It grows upright and tills a basket prettily, but It is especially adapt ed as a centerpiece. The cedums. like the othonna. will not be Injured by pro tracted droughts and lack of attention. Tradescantias are plants that grow ' easily and are desirable for basket cul ture. All tradescantias will grow quite rapidly. There are several varieties In general cultivation. T. Zebrlm. the dark striped sort and T. Trlcolar. similar to Zehrina. but with the addition of a beautiful pink stripe lengthwise of each leaf. T. Trlcolar being a chance apart Is apt to go back to the original and you should be careful and watch It and pinch nut everv shoot that is not of the right color. In this way only can It be kept true. T. Verdls. the common green variety, is known by everybody. T. Blcolar Is the beautiful variegated white and green va riety that grows s prettily and as laclly as the common green one and is pretty . anvwhere. It. too. will sport back to the rrsen out. but you can easily keep It pure by cutting off all the plain green shoots iiuin as you see them appear. The m ' '. . . . - , tqinl.l a.

During the Te Deum the Archbishop of Canterbury stood on the topmost step, before the altar; on the second step were the Archbishops of York and Dublin and the Primus of Scotland, and on the third and fourth steps were the other archbishops and metropolitans, together with the presiding bishop of the American church. It was a memorable scene and Just at this time the sun shone full upon the beautiful reredos of the cathedral, completing the solemnity of the effect. Then came the final bless ing, and so the great congress ended. The total amount of the thank offering was 333,206 pounds, Z shillings and 11 pence, of which amount the bishops from the EpU. 1 il Church In the United States ga. . 14.065 pounds, 8 shillings, S pence, of which 1000 pounds came from TYadescantla will grow very prettily In Jars of water, hut the water must be re newed occasionally. Lysimachia Mummllarla. or money wart, or perhaps better known as Wan dering Jew, the weed that spreads so quickly and Is so much to be dreaded and feared In the lawn. Is one of the prettiest j plants for the hanging basket. It will droop for several feet and will not be troubled with Insects. You can -grow it from now until next Spring, but then you must destroy It to keep it from get ting a foothold about your premises. To have a basket of money wart Just plant a bunch of tops in the center of the bas ket, keep them' wet and they will at once start to grow. Vlnca Mimae. or the common evergreen periwinkle, after it haa made a good start, makes an excellent basket plant. It being very dark green and most ef fective. It will thrive in a cool place and In the house In Winter the plant. will even stand freeing. All of the above de scribed plants will grow without direct sunlight. Lanaria Cymbalaria or Kenllworth Ivy Is a very neat little trailing vine that grows quite readily from seed. It bears a small pink flower, In form resembling a miniature'snap-dragon. and Is a very free bloomer. It wil do best where not too warm and should be kept fairly wet. It is pretty in quite small baskets or terra cotta logs. Ivy geraniums are very desirable when grown as basket plants. The foliage Is thick and heavy and in form resembles green Ivy. They require to be grown In the sun and when healthy, flower beauti fully. There are many varieties of ivy In general cultivation, both single and double flowering. They are comparatively slow growers and to be successful as basket plants should be planted In July. Then they will be root-bound by Kail and will. In this condition, flower well all Winter. The parlor Ivy. common to every col lection of plants, will grow finely in a hanging basket, but In very warm places la apt to become Infested with aphis or green fly. To prevent this give frequent sprinkling with water over the foliage and follow with tobacco dust, shaken over the dampened leaves. The parlor Ivy Is not apt to be attacked with other In sects except It be kept too warm and dry. In the above collection we have a col lection of what may be termed very common plants; but what we want in our hanging baskets Is something that wa feel sura will grow and flourish. Neglect of plants Is not necessarily carelessness, but plants In hanging baskets in tha house especially are more apt to suffer from lack of water and proper cara than other plants. If we wish to succeed with hanging baskets we must be careful and select plants that are as near as possible suit able to tha conditions In which we ex pect them to grow. Tbe Baffled Mooqalta.

DID you ever hear a dog talk? Of course you and I have had dogs that almost talked, which made their wants known as readily and with a certainty which two-legged animals might envy dogs that seemed to understand perfectly what was said to them. Then we know about the watchdog's honest bark baying deep-mouthed wel come as we draw near home. The wel come always sounded very much like bow-wow to me. but then my hearing may be defective, for I remember when my Infantile nephew said with prefect distinctness (I have his mother's word for It).' "Go away, bad boy." I thought he had only said: "Goo-boo-boo," which Is quite different, you know. When I tell you that dogs talk, please don't doubt my veracity, for as a poor hard-working Journalist, It Is one of my most valuable assets. Just credit the statement where It belongs, to the Herr Prof. Dr. Leibnlta, of Sax ony, who told a congress of savants In the year 1829 that he "knew a hound which spoke 30 words distinctly." The statement has not been contra dicted in all these years, and I do not hesitate to revive It, believing that even 1 f the Illustrious scientist were nature-faking his memory would be safe from attack until after the next election. At the same time and place it was announced that "the dog is the only animal that dreams, he and the ele phant are the only four-footed animals that understand looks and expressions; the elephant the only animal that feels ennui, the dog the only quadruped which has been brought to speak." So there now. If you don't believe what a koenlgllsche professor, with all sorts of alphabetical arrangements behind his name, has to say. I am sure you wouldn't believe me. anyway. This anecdote was related during the PAN-ANGLICAN 12 POO, WHEKE THE foU ' JLASS MEETINGS' WEKE HELD wx IP I J 11.11 1 1 II , VIr U ' Mil - - , .$ - - u r i f -rUT, i r 4? ?4 1 1 tif it t st ,V,.! 5 ' f ' 'if t- vr CHOIR WSTF1INSTEGU SBE. week of the kennel show down on Long Island, and by a very successful exhibitor, but I wouldn't believe It my self until she showed me tha whole story in the "Arcana of Science." Then, during a rainy afternoon, dog books were Bearched and all sorts of queer and Improbable things were brought to light about dogs. If you don't mind. 111 tell you about some of them. Dogs can hear and understand, even if they cannot always articulate, or Mr. St. John, author of "Highland Sports." deserves membership in the club with those to whom a shorter and uglier name has been applied. "A shepherd, a neighbor of mine, said Mr. St. John, "to prove the quick ness of his dog. who was lying before the fire In the farmhouse kitchen where we were talking, said to me in the m d dle of a conversation about quite a dif ferent matter, 'I'm thinking, sir, the cow's got into the potatoes." "Though ha purposely lowered his voice, laying no stress on these words, the dog. who appeared to be asleep. Im mediately Jumped up, leaped through the open window and scrambled up the turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. "Not seeing the cow. he ran back into the farmyard, and finding her there, came back into she house. "After a time, the shepherd said the same words again, and the dog repeat ed his look-out, but on tha false alarm being given the third time, the dog got up, and wagging his tail, looked his mas ter full In the face with such a comical expression of Inquiry that we could not refrain from laughing heartily, on which he laid himself down again to sleep In his accustomed place on the hearth rug. as If determined not to be made a fool of again." . Then a scrap book was produced, and we read in turn of the heroism of dogs as portrayed In the dally press; an ac count of how a do? -had rescued the en tiro crew of a ship wracked off tha coast a CONGRESS y X I t , , Mu if V - . . , 'At-r-iVi : x, - " s K,.' .7' -saw V''v.'-'.1 ' " . -. v J aHssMsssasisaslssilsMWsBsM " "i . .Tsty-V A x vt,tfjIWAwA.wlW-'i HHMMf " -? t '111 of California by swimming out whera no man would venture and no boat could float and bringing back a Una which the sailors had been frantically trying to throw ashore; tales of homes and lives saved from destruction by fire, thanks to tha timely warning of the watchdog; of children found and restored to their par ents by dogs; of treasures defended and of travelers rescued from Alpine snow drifts by dogs, until I had almost begun to think Mr. Carnegie ought to provide a special medal for dog heroes. "'It Is a strange thing," said a veteran expert, "how little the average person knows about dogs, and how by ill-feeding and mistaken kindness they make the poor beasts suffer with collywobbles, when a little Judgment would keep them In the best of condition. I know a woman who insists on it that her dog must have a bath every day. followed by a combing and brushing process, to which he submits gracefully, having been taught to expect a piece of candy by way of reward. "It Is all very well to take your own tub dally, but would any sane person think of a dally shampoo? Too much washing takes ail the oil out of a dog's coat, renders his skin dry and uncom fortable and necessarily ends In the de struction of his good looks, If not of his health. - "Once a week In tha city or twice a month In the country Is quite often enough for the dog to have his bath, and If he be combed and brushed but twice a week ha will be all the better for It. And candy Is the worst thing you can give him. "Good sound fresh milk, with bread, the best diet to wean puppies, is like wise the best diet for an old dog, and a better relish at all times than sweets, which are an acquired taste. To the dog's misfortune he will eat and drink whatever a man will: so he often gets things that aren't good for him." That provoked the liveliest sort of a discussion. It was "Lane says this," and "Ashmora says that," and "I don't cara Episcopal Bishop of Oregon Describes Remarkable Scene in St. Paul's, London. what anybody says, for I have consult ed my own veterinarian." Not being familiar with the authorities quoted. I held my peace, and only re peat some of the talk for the benefit of those of you who keep dogs. "Feed little and feed often," said a successful breeder, "until the puppies have attained their growth. There's nothing so good for them as bread and milk, but teach them to drink water as early as possible, for then they won't eat so much, and all puppies are glut tons." "One-fifth Is tha proper proportion of meat for a house dog," chimed an an other man; "and It need have no more unless It Is much more frequently exer cised than the average house dog." "From one-fifth to one-third," said the Judge, "and If the meat is the kind the master eats, there will be no occasion to worry as to the cooking, unless sauces are used; for what Is good enough for man In this line does very well for a dog." Well," said I, unable to remain silent any longer, "when I got a toy dog the first thing I did was to write the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals asking what to feed It and how to keep It In health. They wrote me a nice long letter, inclosing some leaflets, and told ma one thing that hadn't occurred to me at all :'There Is as much individuali ty about dogs as there is about men, and we should advise a study of your pet's peculiar needs. '"But there are some general principles which may be applied to all.' the writer continued. "The average house dog Is fed too much and exercised too little. In the country dogs can be depended on to run about as much as they ought, and to regulate their diet to some extent. In town, the owner should see that the dog has a good run in the back yard. " 'A dog In leash does not enjoy itself, nor does it add to the enjoyment of pe destrians In general. Every -animal should have an abundant supply of pure water for drinking, and the vessels for this purpose, preferably of enamel ware, should be cleaned dally. " Two feeds daily will suffice for grown dogs. Stale food Is unwholesome. Give as much as the dog will eat. then throw away the fragments. A dog; that is off the dioeese of Minnesota. There were 60 American bishops present. Results of the Congress. It may be well to sum up, so far as is at present possible, the results of this gathering. Judged by those standards which are accepted in affairs of public concern, the congress has been a con spicuous and an amaslng success. So far' as numbers are a sign of interest, those In positions of central responsibility never anticipated so vast an assemblage. The mos capacious halls In London have again and again proved Insufficient to accommodate those who desired to at tend. The Albert Hall, the great hall of the Church House, and St. Paul's Cathedral have been crowded night after night by representatives of all classes of the community. With noteworthy courage on the part of the executive committee, the range of subjects has In cluded almost every topic of vital impor tanceand this at a time of theological and economic unrest In church and state. Problems which lie at the very founda tion of religion and of society have been faced; they have been considered with a due sense of reverence and responsibil ity, but with boldness; and the tone of the discussions has almost Invariably been kept on a high level. . Church and Press. A whole morning was spent In dis cussing the relations between me church and the press, and the educa tional value of the latter was ac knowledged by every speaker. It being the general opinion that anonymity tends to a higher standard of Journal- Ism than is reached under the system of signed articles, and It can hardly be contended that the British press, or which anonymity used to be the most striking characteristic, has gained in healthy Influence or become more re sponsible, refined and brilliant, since n began to encourage every Tom, kick. and- Harry who could tnrust nimseit Into a transient popularity, by the pub lication of literary extravagances ovrr or below his name. The congress. however, was more In Its proper ele ment' when discussing what Canon Rawnsley called the "railway novel nuisance." That there is a great deal of fiction Issued nowadays which out rages every canon of good taste, and even of common decency, no one whose fate It is to scan the plethoric output of the publishing houses can deny. If there are firms which return good lit erature to struggling authors because It Is not sufficiently "hot stuff to command a rapid sale, I shall not at tempt to defend them from the cen sure they deserve. The exigencies of the till are not a , sufficient Justification for circulating prurient abominations. But It Is quite as much the business of tha pulpit as of the press to check the evil, and there is some truth in tha stern com ment that If the churches did their work more thoroughly there would be less ap petite for debasing literature. Corporate Responalbllltlea. With some confidence It may be stated that the Anglican communion has real ized herself as she has never done be fore. She has attempted to measure tha responsibilities and opportunities which have been vouchsafed to her in her cor porate capacity. More than once the congress was exhorted to remember that the Anglican communion contains within Itself rapidly growing churches In the United States of America, In China, In Japan, as well as In the King's domin ions over sea. But In no quarter Is there any desire to reproduce the "Ecclesiasti cal Caeearlfim" of the Middle Ages. In so far as opinion has crystallzed the principle of nationalism has been accept ed within certain limits, and it is held by many to be fundamental for the English-speaking churches which have broken with the Papacy. Diversity in national temperament (and this requirement has been emphasised In various quarters) de mands diversity In the externals of wor ship. The Anglican communion has empha sized and affirmed in this congress its re solve to be not a mere aggregate of friendly provinces, but one body. This end will be attained not by setting up a Papacy, but by a clear realization throughout the whole range of her mem bership, American and English, that for the due discharge of her worldwide re sponsibilities her strength lies in union developed by Intercommunication and the exchange of varied experience. The delegates from Oregon were Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Burns. Mr. and Mrs. Good, Miss Frances Lewis, of Portland; Miss Sperrv, of Coquille; Mr. Swanson, of Marshfleld. and the Bisnop and Mrs. Scadding. Its feed" will soon be restored to condi tion if given an occasional raw egg and plenty of milk. No one has a right to keep animals unless able and willing to provide whatever is necessary for the r health and happiness. That means It must be kindly treated, oomfortably lodged, regularly fed, supplied with water and afforded opportunities for recreation. Gentle treatment is due all animals, and need not Interfere with firmness in gov erning them." " . Sounds preachy, doesn't it? Never mind. It's good advice, all the same, and hero Is my favorite dog story to make up for the sermon I wonder how often you have laughed over It yourselves : '"Ah, you should keep dogs fine animals-sagacious creatures.
