The early Christians had no 8\ich rlto , but , on account of the. persecutions to which they were subjected , wcro forced to moot In out-of-tho-way places to celebrate tholr worship , and among the earliest Christian docu ments Is a description of the manner in which the sectaries mot In quiet glens In the woods , in caves and other secluded places for the purpose of celebrating re ligious rites. The ugos of persecution passed away. Magnificent basilicas and ohurchos wore constructed and outdoor meetings were discontinued save on very great festivals or at particular shrines when the presence of onbrmons crowds rendered outdoor ceremonies a neces sity. The size of tho. churches con structed during the fourteenth and fif teenth centuries was such as to accom modate even the extraordinary gather ings of great festival seasons , and out door meetings became unknown. With the reformation , however , came a change. Both in England and the con tinent the reformers were often ex cluded from the churches and compelled to moot in the open air ; but snob meet ings , of only a few hours duration , are not in nny way to bo compared with the camp mooting as the word is now under stood. Cunip Mooting Illitory. The camp meeting of modern times , says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat , dates irom the latter part of the eighteenth century nnd is an American institution. Before the war of the revolution , churches , particularly in the southern : olonics , were few and far apart , and , in order that the religious tone of the com munity might be kept up , the preachers of a neighborhood would assemble in the sprimr and fall , collect a force of tholr most zealous members ; nnd hold what was known as a "basket meeting , " so- called from the facfll it'tho attendants brought their food m baskets. At first these meetings each7cqntiuued only a single day , but somqf one conceived the idea that the religious interests of the community might be greatly forwarded if such gatherings cpuld' bo prolonged during two or threea s ; This was in a fair way to uccomp'liali.inont , and the camp mooting was' ' about to bo ' evolved , when , j'tho war came on and occupicdihi $ ho atten tion of the colonists totno exclusion of all other matters ; " After the conclu sion of peace thoc"6hAfrchos were so greatly shattere4.tthat Borne yen " elapsed ere anyisoi-t.6f progress was made , but about thpryear tflKi.a series oi basket meetings was held in the central districts of South Carolina and Georgia , which attracted no llttlo attention. The institution rapidly spread and by the end of the century basket meetings - ings "of two or throe days duration were annually hold in nearly all of the coast states. Gradually the length of the mooting' was increased , until by the yoarvlSOO the meetings cov ered a full week , and the camping feature was firmly established. The idea and the institution spread to the west , and during the great religious ex- excltoment which preceded the war o 1812 camp meetings were annually hold on regularly established camping grounds at many points in Kontunky Tennessee and the ssouthwest. In the meantime they had also extended to England , where the famous Dow and others were holding six and sovon-daj meetings , characterized by great on thusiasm. . diameter of the Mi-otlngn , The character of these meotingsv wherever hold , was substantially the same. There was always u certain number bor of "tenters , " that is , persons who erected tents on the grounds for their owi use and the entertainment of friends On some camp grounds permanent cabin of logs were raised which rotiminoi from year to year ; but as in the bouth ern states these cabins , during lift weeks in the year , were commonly tenanted anted by half wild hogs which ran a large in the woods , their use duing the other two weeks was accompanied b' certain disadvantages which led mos persons to prefer the canvas tents. Tin tents were pitched in u/iuudrunglo sur rounding a largo arborwhoro , logs , spli in two and Hot on pins , supplied tin place of benches. The seats faced r stand from which the preaching wa done and immediately in front o this extemporaneous pulpit wu n space ruled off and tech nicttlly denominated the "altar.- Hero also the "mourners' benches " , were , o places to which "convicted" person were invited to oomo and receive1 conn sol and assistance. If straw was plenti ful , the ground under the beats and ii the altar was carpeted with It ; in defuul of this substantial covering , dead o green loaves , leafy boughs or freshly mown grass answered the emergency. The tents of the White people were pitched on the "llrbtttnd , " thobo'for the slaves on the Beuory ) , 'immediately bo- hind.

The meetings usuujyjbopan on Wed nesday or Thursday , continuing for toner or eleven days , HO asta , include two Sun days. During the palmy days of the camp meeting , that U from about 1810 to about 1845 , it frequently happened that ministers of different denominations participated in the exorcises , and side by side on the uamo platform would be boon Methodists , Presbyterians , Bap tists and otheru , who , at the close of the meeting , would gather in the "results" according to the individual preferences of the converts. As a rule , however , the camp mooting was regarded as u Methodist Institution , und tno great ma jority of those converted subsequently connected themselves with that church. The dally proceedings ut the camps were well understood and a certain routine was strictly followed , At sun rise a horn was blown a a signal for all to rise. A few moments later "family prayer" began In the tents , a rolliflous o.xbrcl. o consisting of atnetlig , nerlpturo reading nnd prayer , and the olTcet pro duced by thirty or fortV " different tunes sung at the same time "within the tents by as many groups was peculiar , If not altogether pleasing. A tfenornl prayer meeting in the arbor followed ; then came breakfast. At t ) o'clock the horn was again blown , n signal for an other prayer meotlng ( which last d until 10 , and was suspended to give plnco to the public preaching service , which Was usually concluded by ! - An Intermission for rest nnd dinner fol lowed until 2 , when the horn called the tjongrogatlon together again for another flormon. After this followed ono or moro "exhortations , " which were uhuv aclorir.od by vigorous calls for mourners to uomo forward and bo prayed for , They came alul knelt nt the benches In tin ) altar Inclosiiro , whllo the older members prayed with nnd advised them according to thoh'TWpponed noivls. Dur ing all this part of the exorcises uproari ous singing was going on ; the leader of the meeting , standing on a bench , at the top of his voice exhorted others to follow the example of these who had already como forward , nud the assistant preachers , .uxhortcrs , class leaders nnd other pioiisVorsons were going out Ihto the nudloilco-Urgihg tholr Irreligious tit- ! qmilntancbi to go tip to the nlttu' . Labor with the mourners continued Until sup' per time , and an hour later , at "early cntullb light , " about 7 o'clock , the evenIng - Ing services bognn , which were usually the most enthusiastic of the day. "Tho Hllislnj ; . " Spo.iking of the singing , few people of the present day can nave the remotest Idea of the effect produced by ono of the old-fdshlonod hymns sung at the highest pUch of the stentorian backwoods voices. Both words and music were known to everybody , and the singing was done with n vim. In tliii rciulnr services , when the church hymnal was Used , the hymns were "lined" that is , two lines were given out by the preacher and sung by the congregation ; but when ono of the old hymns was started , such as "Como , humble sinner , In whoso breast , " or ' 'I am n soldier of the cross , " every body joined in , and the olTect from hun dreds of lusty voices was thrilling. But there were other songs especially de voted to camp meeting use which wore bettor known than the most popular church hymns. Whuio now Is good old Daniel ? Where now Is good old D.uilol , Who wii-i cast In the don of lions ? Safe over In the 1'romlsed l/.uul. Wliero now Is good KIMtili ? Where now Is good Klljuh , Who went up In u llory chariot ?

From 1810 to 1840 it was n its glory and in the year 1833 it is tatcd in the church histories that 123 if those gatherings were hold by the Methodists alone Tn different parts of tlio country , some in Indiana , Kentucky , Ohio and. . ' Tennessee being , attended every year by thousands of people. The names of all the loading Methodist preachers during the llrst half of the century are intimately associated with camp meetings und the special labors of Asbury. Soulo , MoTyoiro , Finloy , Peter Cartwright und others in this line have become historic. Not a few of these belonged to the churoh militant as well as spiritual and did not hesitate a moment to use their lists in suppressing disturbances waged by persons who en deavored to break up the meetings. There is little doubt that the Methodist church of the present owes much of its strength to the energy with which the camp meeting of fifty yean ago was conducted. Paradoxical as it may seem , the tremendous success of tlio camp meeting was the loading cause of its decline. Thousands of men and women were gathered into the church at the annual meetings , and self-sup porting societies wcro formed in many localities where preaching had bscomo infrequent. Curches were erected and services regularly hold at constantly shortening intervals , while "protracted meetings , " that is , meetings hold In the churches once or twice each day for bov1' oral weeks , began to supply the place o the great annual feast of tubormicles The inconveniences of tenting increased people uccustumed to the ease Of ole gunt homos would not submit to the dis comforts which were lightly regarded by the hardy pioneers. Hospitality declined. Boarding und restaurant tents were established and the keeper.- ) naturally desirous of making money , charged high rates for wretched fui-6 and miserable accommodations. Tlio meetings were diverted from their original purpose by the presence largo numbers of fun-loving young people plo who wont for u frolic. Thus little by little , from a great variety of causes the cam ] ) meeting of the fathers waned Hero and there , efforts were made t < keep it up , but it is no longer in uccord anco with the spirit of the times , am ; the suspension of the annual meeting a Camp Marvin , just outside the city limits , murks the extinction of one of the lust religious enterpriser of this kind.

The case was on trial before a justice of the peace , probably the name justice who decided that stealing a sack of potatoes out of a canoe on the river was "piracy on the high seas.

A Suitable diet can do n great deal to make llfo more enjoyable during a hot j spell. In many households there Is llt tlo change lu diet during the year , eo far as the main part of It goes. The thousand.1) ) of luou who have no hoitUH and breakfast atid iltno at rostauraUts and club house ? got In the habit of or dering the same tilings day after day , and of eating and drinking at tholr meals almost Irrospedtlvo of the \vouthor. \ lloro is where a llttlo knowl edge of physiology would como in to good advantage to make It caster to bear up against the hot , sultry days. I'jVet'ybody knows , says an export tn the INOW iork Sun , that certain food tends to produce heat , and { hut In a general way fruits aud n-osluvxigplabloa arc cooling ; but they do not realize how easy It is to apply theo laws of physiol ogy to the bonoilt of a man's personal comfort. Tlio natives of countries which are always hot and of the countries which are always cold have naturally drifted Into the diet which Is bo.st adapted to tholr needs. The Esquimaux would have little appreciation of' straw berries , pineapple , luttuco and ether vegetables , oven If they could got thorn , while whale blubber and seal fat would bo a diet wholly unsuitcd to thb negroes under the equator. The people of the United Slates , and particularly the pees pie of the city of New York , have th - widest choice of cheap food produoto that there is. They have fresh vegeta bles from early in the spring , when the trains bring them from Florida , until well on in the fall , when the moJ > t north ern vegetable gardens have ceased to produce. They have all'kinds of fruits at low prices always cany to got. It Is no easy to let. housekeeping got into a , rut and to fall into the habit of having substantially the same things to oat every day , especially for breakfast , that only a smallfraction of the popula tion of New York take advantage of the methods nature brings to their "doors to lake summer life moro comfortable. They eat anoats in the summer wo or three times a day , just s they do in the coldest part f winter. They have starchy ogotablps for breakfast , and they drink weot drinks. The man who is in the abit of putting three lumps of sugar In cup of eoiTeo in the cold winter time coops on putting as many lumps in the olTco in the summer. If ho is in the nibit of eating a hearty meat luncheon n the winter ho does the same thing in ho summer. There is little change in ho amount that ho oats except the hungo that is forced on him by loss of appetite and depression consequent upon u heavy diet in hot weather. Nature itself suggests to a man the u-opor diet for the different seasons of ho year. Nature has so arranged hings that , beginning with the early pring , the llrst fruits and vegetables to nature have a medicinal elToot dnivtho ystom to make it throw off the results' > f the hoayien wiijtor diet , o bpqii'itho lore's , and 'to make the various functions vork more freely. Instead of adopting his suggestion of nature that with he first ripening of vegetables n the spring larsro quantities of them should bo eaten , the majority of people loglect nature's hint and take medicine nstead. The scores of patent medicines advertised to cure that "tired fooling" vhioh comes every spring , the liver ) ills , the spring purges , ana everything > lso of that sort , are demanded only as mpropor substitutes for the natural oed which nature produces" that season. The spring "tired feeling" vhich everyone has at that season comes because the system is clogged and mture's remedies have not been taken. Nature always takes care to punish , hose who are inattentive to her advice. L'ho summer colds which hang on so nueli longer and are so much moro .ronblesoino than winter colds are the direct result of the clogging of the sys- toin through an improper diet. Nature and a man's constitution alike suggest the diet and the behavior for th'o stun ner which , if adopted , will make the varm , long days enjoyable instead of oppressive. If a man is working mrd and is accustomed to moat ; hreo times a day during the winter , it nay bo well for him to eat meat once a day durinir the HU minor. Once a day is enough , and ho should not eat greasy neat. This is good advice the year round , for though there are times when i man's system craves a fatty diet , fried 'at is not the bust shape to furnish it in. The meat should bo well cooked ; u little of it Is enough. The evening dinner is naturally the time for it , for then the lay is cooler and a man can idle away an nour or two after the repast , ameliorat ing by rest the heat and increase in temperature which the digestion ol meat usually causes. If a man hat not accustomed his sys tem to taking meat until the lack ol meat would make him ill it would bo well for him to adopt an almost exclu sively vegetarian diet during the spring und summer , and continue It until the crisp days of fall. Eggs , loan bacon , spring chickens nnd Huh during the spring and summer should take tlio place of the heavy moats of winter , ojpooially hot roasts and steaks. All the fats u man needs in the summer can be taken In the system in the form of vegetable table oils , helped out by the nuturu' starch of raw fruits. Sweet drinks of any kind , drinks with alcohol in them , and the ice water are not cooling in their ultimate olTeots. Anything with sugar in it or sweet syrups is heating , Acid drinks , espec ially those made from natural fruit juice are cooling. If any uloholla drink is wanted , the best Is mildly acid wine , di luted and cooled , but not too cold. Ono way to start out cool with the day's work Is to drink a quantity of hot water some time Ixiforo breakfast and to wait for the reaction from it. The reaction from hot drinks and ihot baths is cooling just as the re action from iced drinks and cold baths is warming. Everybody knows how In the winter a cold shower or a cold plunge , with a rub-down to hasten the reaction , brings a glow and a fooling of warmth which lusts for yomo timo. In the flame way a hot shower or hot bath , not prolonged too much , in its reaction brings a feeling of coolness. A contrast between the temperature of the bath und the temperature of the air always brings a sensation of heat or cold , accordingly us the bath or the air is the cooler. So , drinking very hot water in the morning by its reaction brings about u cool fueling. This If aside from the other advantages of drinking hot water. As far as possible during the summer cold drinks should not bo taken with moata. Cold drinks taken with food on a hot day stop the action of the stomach for a whlto awl Ihou bring liWfiul Ah un comfortable feeling of warmth. The ( tld water llrst Cftusoi the blood vosjols of the stomach to contract , and then with the reaction the blood vessels ho- come diluted nud there la an uncom fortable sons'1 of oppression and heat , which loads to the drinking of moro lee water and to renewed oppression and bent. The best way to got the amount- of wntor necessary for the system If to lake It hot before breakfast on nn empty stctinoh , then to drink nothing inm-o during the tlayi All the cooling otTooU of perspiration can bo enjoyed by drink' ing enough water to keep the skin moist and to supply the natural evaporation. This evaporation , If tno pores are not filled wlthxjiot water , will keep the skin cool. cool.With this wAyof getting th'o necessary Illiids Into the system there should be a light iliut composed largely of vegeta bles and frUlt. Salads , uorrles and raw fruit of any kind arc gotxl. Eggs Hi various forms , llsh , lean bacon nud loan light moats will make u cheap and com fortable diet. This diet may be favored through m'jtlvoH ot economy as well as reasons of comfort and health. Hoasts , steaks and heavy meals are among the most , enstly of foo.ls. Sr > uro olub.mito desserts and fancy dishes. Simple things like omoloh , hriHled bacnh lu strips in long as one's hand , strawberrler , twluds and the ll'to ' , are cheap as well as better for the health. Heavy and fatly floups have no place in the summertime diet. They nialco h , meal by themselves. Such things as clam ohowdor are good to oat and are sustaining , but they should not bo followed by n heavy dinner. It Is moro than the system can stand on a hot day when it Is pretty well oecUplod In taking care of Itself. Thin , clear soups are good with a reasonable interval be tween them nnd the next course and the absence of broad and butter with the soup. The observance of these alinplo sug gestions does not call for great self do- nlal and it is repaid by an enormous In crease In comfort. Let any man who Is accustomed to allaying his thirst by oopruus draughts of Ice water and vari ous artificial waters with sweet syrups , try the elTout of drinking hot water in the morning before brcukfu-tt us much as ho can comfortably take , und not drink anything else during the day. It may be hard for the first two or throe days , but ho will find" how It reduce- ) his discomfort in hot weather. If ho can not drink enough water In the morning o last him until the next morning lot 1m drink moro water just before going o bod. / Inestimable Value The discovery by Dr. Prie4 of a new process for extract ing from the true fruits their natural flavor vrill be of inestimable value and benefit to the consumers of flavoring extracts.
