Its secretary is Rev. John C Collins
of

nH vAr hv vaar the membership of th
association and the number of delegates
present at the conventions have in
creased. "The root idea of these con
ventions," says one of the most earnest
numhara nf the association, "is that
they shall be expositions of the diversity
of ministrations by which men ana wom
en have been led of the spirit in the
-work of winning souls. The result is a
spiritualizing and energizing of agencies
r.ir PhriKtinn work, and the srirrinx up
and bringing into active relations of
many who for various reasons have not
i,iT,A-n hppn thns active." The conven
tions are held to be of especial value to
pastors, since they not only afford the
means of studying closely the men who
are most successful as evangelists, mis
sion workers, pastors and otherwise, but
they bring out new helpers ana inane
the alnntinn of new methods possible.
The Rev. John C Collins, secretary
and chief executive omcer 01 me associ
ation, has held that office for a n amber
of years, and has filled it with great suc
cess. He is a graduate both of Sale col
lege and Yale theological seminary.
Upon leaving the seminary he entered
at once upon city missionary work in
New York. There his duties consisted
in preaching Sunday evenings iu a large
centrally located hall, in conducting a
Sunday school, in attending the police
courts regularly for the purpose of
studying the fallen masses and aiding
the unfortunate and in carrying on sav
ings banks and clubs for boys. Certaiu
' ly he must have been kept reasonably
busy.
After he had been thus engaged for a
time he founded a remarkable work
among street boys, which has since been
extended into various cities in different
parts of the country. By its operations
tens of thousands of boys have been
brought under religions influences who
must otherwise have been left entirely
outside the pale. It was Mr. Collins
also who organized and introduced
among the masses of city population the
plan of saving small sums, called the
Penny Savings bank, which has proved
to be of such great material benefit to
thousands of poor boys. He was also
active, together with the late Colonel
George R. Clarke of Chicago, in the
movement which resulted in the forma
tion of the present association, and to
him has been intrusted the chief execu
tive work of carrying on the work of
the association ever since its formation.
He was ordained to the Christian minis
try as an evangelist by the Congrega
tionalists of New Haven in l&Sti.
No notice of the Christian Workers'
association would be complete without
a mention of the Rev. B. Fay Mills, the
evangelist, who has been one of its
chief pillars and who is known for his
energetic and effective Christian work
almost from one end of the land to the
other. He is still a comparatively young
man and is as pleasing in his address as
he is earnest in his work. He was grad
uated from Lake Forest nniversity in
1879, and so has been in the work not
more than 15 years, but the number of
persons who have shown an interest in
things spiritual under his preaching is
very great He aids the association con
tinually by suggestion and advice and
is always an active delegate at the con
ventions. Jacob A. Riis, another of those whose
names are identified with the associa
tion, is perhaps best known from his
exhaustive study of the underside of
metropolitan life, which led to his writ
ing the now famous book, "How the
Other Half Lives." He is a Dane, but
lie has succeeded in penetrating deeper
into the mysteries of American tene
ment bouse existence than any one else
who has essayed to comprehend it

ANIMAL CURIOSITIES.

It seems almost a stretch of the im
agination to think of rabbits climbing
trees. Yet in Australia many rabbits
have somehow acquired the tree climb
ing habit, having been forced, on ac
count of the persecutions of do;; and
nthpr animals, to dron burrowing aud
imitate squirrels. An Australian sent
on to Euglaud recently the two front
feet of a rabbit that had been killed on
an acacia, three yards from the grouud,
and he wrote in his letter that this was
not at all a remarkable thing, and bt
had often found them, or at least tna
traces of their claws, on the bark of
trees four, five aud six yards high.
For a parrot to eat sheep is another
remarkable thing, aud yet the kea or
New Zealaud has become a sheep eater.
having changed to this article of food
from a pnrely vegetable diet. The kea
has nroved a serious source cl annoy
ance to the New Zealand herdsmen, aud
methods have been taken for the destruc
tion of the species. These gay colored
little birds will eat almost any kind of
meat, but it is sheep Uiat tney preier.
They have been known to kill as
many as 200 in a single night and have
done serious harm to the flocks. The
tradition of the island is that at one
time these parrots were unable to ob
tain their usual supply of vegetable
food and that iu desperation they invad
ed the "drying rooms" and ate whatev
er came to hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable. In Iceland almost all the
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish is
plentiful. In England sheep are known
who delight in snails. The observation
of this fact is not new ; it dates back
150 years.
It is well known that a large numDer
of insectivorous birds become grain eat
ers whenever they find that they cannot
procure their ordinary diet of insects.

What Victoria Could Do.
As a matter of fact, our sovereigns
have rarely taken any active part in
politics since George Ill's time, but
they could still do some very astonish
ing things if they chose. The qneen
could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
our army, from the commander in chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband the navy in the same way,
and sell all our ships, stores and arse
nals to the first customer that came
along. Acting entirely on her own re
sponsibility, she conld declare war
against any foreign country, or make a
present to any foreign power or any
part of the empire, bhe could make ev
ery man, woman and child in the coun
try a peer of the realm, with the right,
in the case of males who are of age, to
a seat in the house of lords.
With a single word she could dismiss
any government that happened to be in
power, and could, it is believed, pardon
and liberate all the criminals in our
jails. These are a few of the things the
queen could do if she liked, but it is
not necessary to say that her majesty
never acts in matters of state except on
the advice of the government for the
time being. London Tit-Bits.

I do not know the new commander
In chief of the English land fYe, 1
ww him once or twice in my life, but
this ia many year ago, and iu military
matter of the magnitude involved in
the supreme command of a great army
I am afraid I should prove nil incompe
tent critic. Hut I believe to a great ex
tent iu physiognomy, and if Viscount
Wolseley be not a very clever man lie
ought to bring an action for libel against
hi face, for he looks decidedly clever.
If there were any doubt in my mind
about his ability, it would be set at rest
bv the not very enthusiast io remark iu
connection with hi appointmeut I rend
in one or two French uewspniier. "Yon
are nil irritable people, envious, jeaku
and proud to a degree," said Iltsniarck
to General lie Wimpffeu on Sept. 1,
1S70. "Yon are an irritable i'ople, en
vious, jealous and proud to a degree,"
he repeated. "You were nnder the im
prvssiott that victory i an appendage
which was exclusively reserved to you. "
Has the quarter of a century gone by
since those words were uttered made a
difference iu that respect in the French
people'? I should not like to say.
It may not lie altogether uninteiest
ing to look at the two men against
whom the English commander iu chief
will lie pitted if a quarrel should ever
nnhappilv break forth in Europe. I am
alluding to the commander in chief of
the Russian and the French force.
The Russian nrinv contain several
men of unquestionable capacity ; never
theles., there appears to lie n consensu
of opinion that, in the event or war,
with no matter whom, the supreme
command would virtually devolve uihui
General Obrontcheff. to the exelusiou
even of General Kouropatkine, I say
virtual command, for, nominally, young
Nicholas would be at the head of his
leirious.
Having declared myself at the outset
incapable of judging the English com-
maudeu in chief from a military point
of view, I am not going to stultify my
self bv endeavoring to do this in the
case of Obrontcheff. I only repeat what
I have heard. Until very recently the
chief of Vannowski's staff aud Aid-decamp
General Obroutcheff wa. iu spite
of his recognized talents, looked sskance
at in Russian military circles. The
epithet "mi" was invariably tacked to
his uaroe as late as 15 years ago, ami
the third section of the imperial chau
cellerie, without troubling to inquire
into the mutter, placed him ou the list
of "dangerous" men "to be watched
very closely. " A note like that from the
Russian police becomes practically
indelible, and, aid -de-camp general
though he was, not the slightest attempt
was made to efface his name from the
list After his exploit ou the Danube
Loris Melikoff drew the attention of
Alexander II to this apparently flagrant
injustice, to this permaneut insult The
name was maintained cm tne jimi ior
all that, but the epithet was changed
from "red" into "well meauiug. "
Obroutcheff has married a French
woman and is a ueciureu parusuu or
supposed to be of an alliance with
France.' His views iu that respect date
from 1870, when he was an obscure
general. I repeat, about hi abilities
there is little or no doubt. Atter the
first checks iu the Tnrko Russiuu cam
paign he was sent in hot haste to the
Danube, and he is credited with having
saved tire Russian army from total de
struction. Before that, though, lie had
already become the intimate friend of
the heir to the throne, and the friend
ship underwent no diminution during
Alexander Hi's reign.
Wherever the scene of the next Eu
ropean campaign of the French may be
laid, General Felix (instave fcaussier,
the present military governor of Paris,
is beforehand designated as the leader.
Saussier is close upon 70. Iu spito of
his huge size he is very active, bnt for
that size 'he would give one the idea or
a mousqeetaire of the Louis XIV period
dressed in modern uniform. Ihere is no
doubt about his value as a soldier,
which does not always mean an equal
value as a supreme commander, but it
is fair to state that iu the battles around
Met, a quarter of a century ago, he
distinguished himself most signally.
The famous infantry charge at St. Pri
vat, which practically barred the prog
ress of the Germans on that side, was
ledJiy him.
Saussier was one of the olllcers who
signed the protest against the surrender
of Metz. Having refused to pledge him
self not to serve again during the cam
paign, he was sent as prisoner of war to
Cologne. Nor would he give his prom
ise not to escape, consequently he was
transported to a small town on the Vis
tula (Graudenz, I believe;, and abso
lutely sequestrated without etlect, tor
he made his escape after alL
He allowed Gambetta to remain ig-
noratit of all this, as well as of his re
publican origin, aud the "great trib
une." whose infallible instinct nas
been vaunted so much, ouly looked upon
Saussier as a colonel of the empire and
treated him as such. After that Saus
sier went once more to Algeria. Saus
sier, I should say, has had more fight

my, bnt It would De rasn iu say luai
this made him a strategist. A bril
liant soldier he was aud is still, in
spite of his age, and as he was barely
40 when France suffered her reverses
he may have profited by them. To many
in Fiance herself he is an unknown
quantity. These are the two men s com

The tulip tree appears to be better
able to reproduce itself and is evidently
more hardy when young than liny other
of our nutive tree. Wherever there is a
bare or neglected place iu Bruiidywino
park this siiecies of tree immediately
begins to grow. Within the limits of
the park there are two or three aban
doned quarters which have not been
used for years. In these quarter there
is already a rich and abundant growth
of young trees, and tho tulip appears to
do better than any others. This is true
