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

to Almighty God." 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.

THE INTELLIGENT SPEECH OF DOGS
Sarah Francis Wlnslow In New York
Mail.
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.

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

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

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.

lication of literary extravagances ovrr

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

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.

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." " .
