I have stumbled upon aa extraordinary religioua man ifestation, as remarkable as anything in connecUon with the great revival in Wales. So startling and wonderful is it that I feel quite unwilling to pass an opinion upon it, so I shall simply narrate, soberly and consecutively, what I have seen and heard concern ing this "baptism with Are." and pour ing out of "the gift of tongues," where by ignorant Hindu girls speak in Sanskrit, Hebrew. Greek, English and other languages as yet unidentified. The name of Pandita Ramabai. "the Hindu widow's friend" is known among educated people all over the world. She is the most famous of all Hindu women. There is an Interna tional "Pandita Ramabai association." which cooperates with her in her work of rescuing, training and caring for high caste widows. She, more than any other woman, has made known to the world the horrors of the child widow's lot in India. Herself a high caste widow, of rare gifts and educa tion, her appeal has been made to peo ple of culture; nor was her work re garded as strictly relfsious or mis sionary, not being associated with any religious body. A World-Famous Work. Ten ears ago, at the time of the great famine. Ramabai took hundreds of famine orphans, and ever since she has had about 1,400 widows and or phans and deserted girls under her care, as well as 100 famine boys. All caste lines are now down, and the whole immense work is known as the Mukti mission, although in certain re spects the original enterprise for widows maintains its separate iden tity. Hecause of the fame of Pandita Ramabai. and because of the great ness of her work, I conceived it to be my duty to take the hot journey out to Kedgaon. Were it not for the more important incidents which follow. I Pandita Ramabai should tell at some length the story of this great settlement, with its wide acres of farm land, its many modest buildings, and its varied forms of in dustry. Study and work are the rule for every girl: clothes for that multi tude must all be woven on the spot, and the industrial plant is large. An uncommunicative English woman guided me faithfully to every spot of the settlement that she thought of in terest, from the cornerstone to the steam engine and the dying vats. Hut not a word did she say that would lead me into a knowledge of what is hy all means the most noteworthy fact concerning this famous institution. Stumbling on a Revival. Of course. 1 was aware of the un usual religious experiences reported from many Christian communities in India: but I had never associated this sort of thing with Pandita Ramabai 's work: probably because some of her foremost supporters in America are identified with the "new theology" which has scant room for the camp meeting type of "old-time religion." My first clew was a pamphlet which I chanced to pick up, relating strange spiritual exj)eriences on the part of some of Raraabai's girls. I began to ask questions, which were answered. I thought, with seeming reluctance, and discovered that this revival was still under way. For half an hour I had been hearing strange sounds, now of one person shouting in a high voice, now of the mingled utterance of a crowd, and now of song. At last it settled down into a steady roar. "What is that I hear?" 1 asked. "It is the girls prayer meet ing," was the answer. "Could I visit it?" I pointedly asked my guide, after hints had proved unavailing. "Why 1 suppose so. I'll see." In a few minutes I found myself witnessing a scene utterly without parallel in my experience of religious gatherings. A Tumult of Praying Girls. In a large, bare room, with cement floor, were gathered between 30 and 40 girls, ranging in age from 12 to 20. Hy a table sat a sweet-faced, refined, native young woman, watching sober ly, attentively and without disapprov al the scene before her. After a fe minutes she also knelt on the floor is silent praver. Tise other occupants of the room were all praying aloud. Some were crying at the top of their lungs. The tumult was so great that it was with diScuIty that nay oae voice could be distinguished. Some of the girls were bent over with heads touching the j 'a - ? - -aafaBBaaawB 'VBBBBBBBBBBBsflJvVPk. UsflVF - " " 7BBBBsMlBBBBBBw6f9 ' V" '-jNRHsBBBBBBBBBBBBSr V xi floor. Some were sitting on their feet, with shoulders and bodied twitch ing and Jerking In regular convulsions. Some were swaying to and fro, from side to side or frontwards and back wards. Two or three were kneeling upright, with arms and bodies moving. One young woman, the loudest, moved on her knees, all unconsciously, two or three yards during the time I watched. She had a motion of her body that must have been the most exhausting physical exercise. She. like others, also swung her arms vio lently, often the gestures of the pray ing figures were with one or both bands outstretched, in dramatic sup plication. Not infrequently, several girls would clap their hands at the same time, though each seemed heed less of the others. At times the con tortions of the faces were painfully agonized and perspiration streamed over them. One girl fell over, asleep or fainting, from sheer exhaustion. All had their eyes tightly closed, ob livious to surroundings. -Such intense and engrossing devotion I had never witnessed Before. It was full 15 min utes before one of the girls, who had quieted down somewhat, espied me. Thereafter she sat silent, praying or reading her Bible. The discovery of the visitor bad this same effort upon half a dozen other girls during the ne$t quarter of aa hour. At my re quest the guide after a time asked the leader if I might talk with her. and while a dozen of the girls were still left, praying aloud and unaware of the departure of the others, the leader withdrew. A Strange Story. My first interest was to know wheth er the girls had been "speaking with tongues" that day, for I had thought that I detected one girl using English. Yes. several of the girls had been praying in unknown tongues, this young woman quietly uformed me. Then, in response to my questionings. A Dongre Medhavi. she proceeded to tell me that these meetings are held twice daily hy girls who have been "baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire;" it is common for them to speak in tongues which they do not understand, and also to be smitten dumb, so that they cannot speak at all. even in their own lan guage. During the early part of the meeting at which I was piesenl. one of the girls had been obliged to write her message, because her tongue was hidden. Sometimes the girls will go about their tasks for days, unable to utter a word, although they under- ' stand perfectly everything that is said to theiu. and are able to pray in other tongues, and when thry especially ; pray for the power to do so they are able to speak in religious meetings. The girls show no effect whatever of l the terrible strain they undergo dur-1 ing these prayer meetings, and they ( all dp their regular daily work. The burden of their prayers is intercession, that ail the mission, and all India, may be converted and exi-erience a great revival and receive the Pente costal baptism. So much I learned from this young woman. The Most Famous Indian Woman. Ramabai herself is a quiet, strong Iersonality. She dresses after the Hindu fashion, but in white, and her hair is short, for she is a widow. She elects to sit on a low stool at the feet of the person with whom she con verses, for the sake of better hearing. While we were talking her grown J daughter. Monoramabai. her first as- t sistant in the work, sat on the floor 1 with her arm about her mother, and occasionally interjected a pertinent word. Ramabai (the sulfix "bai. J means "Mrs." or "Miss") speaks sim ply, naturally and directly. So she told me of the growth of Shadai Sa- I dan. the work for widows, and one of the Mukti mission, the whole suppos ed by fnilh "We do not make a special point of the gift of tongues: our emphasis is J always put upon love and life. And j undoubtedly the lives of the girls have been changed. About 700 of them have come into this blessing. We do not exhibit the girls that have been gifted with other tongues, nor do we in any wise call special attention to them. We try to weed out .the false j from the true; for there are other spirits than the Holy Spirit, and when a girl begins to try to speak in another tongue, apparently imitating the other girls, without mentioning the name or, J blood of Jesus. I go up to her and s;eak to her. or touch ter on th J . '.."Tej- XT S-r shoulder, and she stops at once; whereas, if a girl is praying;. In the Spirit I cannot stop her. no-jnatter how sharply I speak to her or shake her." The Wonderful Gift of Tongues. "My hearing is peculiar," continued Ramabai. "in that I can understand most clearly when there is a loud noise (a well-known characteristic of the partially deaf) and I move among the girls, listening to them. I have beard girls who know no English make beautiful prayers in English. I have heard others pray in Greek and He brew and Sanskrit and others in lan guages that none of us understands. One of the girls was praying in this very room (the room of one' of the English staff) a few nights ago. and although' in her studies she has not gone beyond the second book, she prayed so freely and clearly and beau tifully in English that the other teach ers, hearing, wondered who could be praying, since they did not -distinguish the voice." "Yes," spoke up the occu pant of the room, "and she prayed by name for a cousin cf mine whom I l had forgotten, and of whom I had never once thought since coming to India." When I asked why. in Ramabai's opinion, tongues that served no useful purpose being incomprehensible to everybody should be given, whereas the gift of tongues on 'the day of Pen tecost was so that every person in that polyglot multitude shouid hear the story in his own speech, she re plied, "I, too. wondered about that Hut it has been siiown to me that it is to rebuke unbelief in the gift of tongues, she herself has been given the gift." All these wonders I have set down impartially, as phenomena of great interest to all who give thought to te ligious or psychic themes. Neither Ramabai. nor the native teacher who led the meeting which I described, is an emotionalist, so far as I could per ceive. Roth, in fact, are persons of more than ordinary reserve, culture and discernment, nor can I explain the relation between what is happen ing at Mukti and the revivals that are being reported from various parts of India, most of them characterized by astonishing confessions of sin, on the part of Christians and by prolonged aud even agonized prajer, with pro nounced physical emotion. Making Presbyterians Dance. There has been a pronounced phys ical side to the demonstrations, as I found at Kedgaon. Entire audiences have shaken as if smitten with palsy, strong men have fallen headlong to the ground. Even lepers have been made to dance. Leaping, shouting. rolling on the floor,, beating the air and dancing, have been common. Con cerning dancing. Bishop Warne said. "Personally. I have not seen much of the dancing: that is reported as most ly having taken place in Presbyterian churches!" It is a fact that the dig nified Presbyterians, even the Scotch church missions, have been foremost in these revival experiences. The revival hs continued in various parts of the empire for more than a year; I have reports from Lucknow. Allahabad. Adansol. Moradabad, Bare illy, Kbassia Hills and Kedagaon. The Methodists baptized 1.900 new con verts during the year, besides the notable result of having secured more than 300 new" candidates for the min istry. Dramatic in the extreme have been the confessions of sin. and restitution therefore, and the reconciliations be tween enemies. E cry where there Is agreement that the lives of the people have been mark edly altered for the better. "The revival." says one. "has given India a new sense of sin." The spontaneous composition cf hymns has been a curious teature of some meetings: Bishop Warne thinks that "there will be a new hymuology in the vernacu lar as an outcome of this revival." While columns more could be writ ten concerning incidents of this re ival. there is only room here to add that it must not be assumed that all of India is being stirred by these events. Many churches and missions are strangeis to them, and she Euro pean population of the country as a whole know nothing about them. Yet it is the conviction of those who claim to have received the Pentecostal bap tism that all of India is to be swept by a fire of religious revival. Some even say that they have been given direct supernatural assurance of this fact. (Copyright, by Jnstpli B Bav.les.) NO LIVING IN THE PRESENT. Devotion to Business Precludes All Nonsense Like That.

Don't try to rave feed with the ewes. The returns will be seriously affected if their feed is cut too short With veal at present prices the calf makes a most profitable milking ma chine. Take pains to save the liquid inre the mest valuable part of ma the n manure, It pays to raise fruits, especially those of the hardy varieties that keep well. In deriding on the kinds of fruits you will raise, select those varieties which are hardy in your locality. Dry soil and cold weather are con ditions that are hard on the orchard trees. The tiaining of the colt should be bgun so early that "breaking-in" will not be necessary. Try corn and cob meal for the horses. Considered by many better than pine corn meal. We are emphatic when we say that no milking should be done except through a cheese cloth covering for the milk pair. Sheep manure keeps best if well mixed with ttraw or clover hulls and tramped in the sheep shed. Keep it drymtil ready to haul it out. It's not the color of the hog's -hair nor his pedigree which counts on market day. The scales tell the story as to what he is worth. Sheep cannot defend themselves, and hence the farmer should see that every precaution is taken to shield them from barm. Water not piped to the barn? Did you, ever figure out how many thou sand gallons of water you had carried out to the horses? It is the cow with the big appetite and small udder which makes the farmer believe tbat dairying does not pay. - No salt is too good for butter-making. Buy only the best. Many a good batch of butter has been spoiled by the quality of the salt used. Don't scold or kick the cow which is restless because of sore teats. Use a little vaseline instead and handle the teats carefully until they have healed. Try the muslin curtains around the hen roosts this winter. It will add to the comfort of the poultry and they in turn will add to your profit The Babcock tester will pick out the unprofitable cows in your herd. Use it and then get lid of the animals which it puts on the black list. Mix the poultry droppings with road dust in alternate layers and keep in barrels in a dry place until needed next season. Corn turned into honest pork to feed a hungry people is construc tive .enterprise. Corn turned into whisky to debauch mankind is de structive. When it conies to a choice between reeding nign-pncea grain or cutting down production of the cow, we would choose the former every time, and would be dollars ahead in the end. Many a farmer is blinded by jeal ousy because of the success of his neighbor so tbat he is 'unable to s?e why he didn't succeed and the other fellow did. The covered milk pail proves no in convenience to the milker, and cer tainly does keep out the dirt and germs from the milk. Why not try the plan? Milk twice a day. It is better for the cow and the milk is better. Some farmers are tempted during the short production of winter to cut out the morning milking. It Is a mistake. The barn is not complete without stairs to get up in the loft. Use your epare time tl's winter in putting (hem ia and doing away with the ladder. - O bssSP 'vrHsVi4HgaiWBBBrjBi2rvvftlr UmmoM bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbMsM.'

Cover the mhimS1lrerJIrs, Value will be more la the spring Than it will if you do not. But the best plan Is to get the manure out on the land as soon as It is made.. Change the hog pasture often.

Never trust him. Keep your eye on him. Xever turn your .back to hint unless he is securely fastened and always have him under stand that you are master. In swine feeding, tests have shown that the largest gain from feeding corn meal alone is less than one-half pound per head per day on well-bred swine. Something Is needed besides corn, although this is very essential. The Christmas season Is not the only time you should seek to make people happy. If you forgot all about that family In your community which you might have helped at Christmas time, do it now. It is never too late to do a good deed. Runty stock is always hard to dis pose of. as perhaps you have dis covered to your annoyance. Why raise that kind? Care and good feed will turn out good livestock which will sell well and return a larger margin of profit than the poor kind. The scrawny horse on the farm eith er tells a story of neglect and abuse on the part of the farmer, or one of worthlessness on the part of the horse. If the former, the farmer needs reforming, if the latter, the horse should be disposed of. "No milk producer should sign a con tract to sell milk for six months or a year ahead at fixed prices. No grow er of potatoes or cabbages would think of pledging himself to accept fixed prices six months ahead of his pro duce." That sounds about right to us. What do you think about it? It is a safe guess that dairying does not pay on the farm where you see a bunch of cows huddled together in the lee of the barn-yard, their backs humped up like jack rabbits, and each fighting for a place in the patch of sunlight while chewing the butt ends of cornstalks. The farmer's part and responsibility in forestry matters is thus empha sized by the Wisconsin Agriculturist: "Forestry has come to stay, and fanners should take a deep interest in it, for it means more and better crops and a larger income. Every farm should have its wood lot, well protected and caied for." Should the dairy cow he fat or lean? It is the commonly accepted theory that the best dairy cows are aiwajs thin. But Kimball's Dairy Farmer has this to say on the matter: "A great many people are telling us that the dairy cow should never be fat. but the competent dairyman realizes that the cow that makes the best record is the cow that comes in in fine condi tion." The lantern light flickering in and out of the barn tells the story in many cases of a farmer who has put off the chores until the darkness has fallen. Besides increasing the possibility of fires by use of the lantern, the farmer makes the work more difficult, for one can always work much faster and better by daylight. Why not plan the work so that all the chores are out of the way by nightfall? Instead of an elevated storage tank many farmers are now using an under ground air-pressure tank which can not freeze in winter nor become un duly warm in summer: which obviates the danger of leakage or wind dam age; and in which the water cannot become foul or ill-tasting, because it is thoroughly aerated by the com pressed air. Such a tank may be placed in the cellar, or buried in the ground; it can be filled by means of a pump operated by hand power, wind mill, gasoline, electric or hot-air en gine; it is simple, durable and satis factory. The idea, in brief, is to take an air-tight steel tank and pump water into it from the bottom until the air which originally filled the tank is compressed, by the rising water. Into the upper half of tank. This gives pressure enough to force a stream of water on to the roof of the house. The importance of care in buying alfalfa seed is emphasized by govern ment experts who have tested seed bought on the market and found in one pound of so-called alfalfa seed 32.420 noxious weed seeds; in another 23.082 and in still another 12,848. Of the first named pound less than 59 per cent, was alfalfa: less than 29 percent, was gerrainable, and among its impurities were 5,490 seeds of dod der surely the devil's own invention. One pound of another lot contained only a fraction over five per cent, tbat would grow and of a third lot but slightly over six per cent. The Ohio station bought for testing 15 different samples, a dollar's worth each. A pound from one of these car ried 1S.144 lambs quarter or pigweed seeds, and another 6,420 seeds of crab grass and 3,325 of foxtail. Seed sup posedly costing $7.80 per bushel was. when cleaned, found to have cost act ually $12.74 per bushel. The Okla homa station, among many samples, tested one having GO per cent, pure seed and 40 per cent, of impurities. Only 65 per cent, was germinable. An other sample "which at first sight would be classified as good" was found to contain per pound 453 witch grass seed. 90 plantain seeds, 151 crab grass seeds, 90 wild carrot seeds, 453 foxtail seeds and 155 Russian thistle seed. As the official who made this test says, if 20 pounds of alfalfa seed of this grade were used to sow an acre one would hare approximately two seeds of witch grass and two foxtail seeds for every ten square feet; four seeds of plantain, seven Russian thistle and six seeds of crab grass for each, hundred square feet. These would doubtless grow and the Mischief they might lead to nobody can estimate. - r-- if . V&fe QUITE AS BAD. tfasassskv ak .ssajsssssssS' .
