VOL. XXI. TELLER LOOTSBANK Birmingham, Ala., Institution Touched for Big Sum. RESERVE FUND REDUCED Paying Teller Chisholm Swiped the Cash for Speculation Purposes. Two Bucket Shop Men Arrested as Accessories. Within a few hours Monday, Alexander R. Chisholm, paying teller of the First National Bank at Birmingham, Ala., was arrested charged with the embezzlement of $7,000 of the bank's funds, given a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner R. B. Watts, put under bonds of $50,000 and, failing to make it, he was placed in the custody of the United States officials at once of the hotels in the city. During the afternoon W. L. Sims and C. M. Hayes, manager and assistant manager of one of the chief stock and cotton brokerage houses in the city, were arrested charged with alding and abetting the embezzlement of national bank funds. They were also given a preliminary hearing and Sims' bond was fixed at $50,000 and Hayes' at $10,000. Both made bonds and were liberated. The shortage was discovered while Chisholm was on his annual vacation. The bank keeps a large reserve fund on hand, and it was from this that the amount was taken. There was no regular-time for counting the cash in the reserve fund, which accounts for the fact that the shortage was not discovered sooner. W. P. G. Harding, president of the bank, made a statement to the effect that the bank would not lose the whole amount, and that it would not affect the institution. The bank has a capital of $1,000,000 and a surplus of $400,000. When Chlsholm was arrested $3,000 was taken from his suit case. He was bonded by one of the large bond companies for $30,000. The difference between these amounts and the shortage has already been taken from the undivided profits account of the bank and charged to profit and loss. Young Chisholm was one of the most popular young men socially and personally in Birmingham. He comes from one of the best families in the south and numbered his friends by the hundreds. It is said that practically all of the money embezzled by Chisholm has been used in speculation in cotton futures and that his losses have extended over a period of several months. Two warrants were issued against Chisholm, one against Sims, one against Hays, and one against P. G. Smith, who also operates an exchange immediately in the rear of the bank. The first warrant, in which Chisholm and Smith are named, alleges that Chisholm alded, abetted, procured and incited by Smith, did willfully embezzle various sums of the bank's funds. The method of procedure was a simple one, Smith merely went to the teller's window, drawing a check for whatever amount might have been agreed upon, and in exchange for the worthless check Chisholm would pass over the money. According to the warrant the amounts secured, with the dates, were as follows: May 19, $3,000; May 22, $3,000; May 28, $5,000; May 29, $2,500; May 30, $20,000; May 36, $16,000; July 2, $10, 000; July 3, $2,000; total, $71,500. The second warrant make the same charges with the names of Sims and Hays substituted for that of Smith. The sum paid to these parties, according to the warrant, were as follows; May 17, $5,000; May 31, $8,000, June 1, $5,000; June 19, $5,000; June 19, $5,000; June 23, $5,000; June 26, $5,000; total, $38,000. Smith, Sims and Hays have no funds in the bank to cover the checks, it is alleged. BULLET ENDS SEA COW'S LIFE. New York Aquarium Loses Manates Secured in Florida. The New York Aquarium's $3,000 sea cow, or manatee, died from blood poisoning, caused by a bullet some Floridan fired into her back some time ago before she was purchased by the aquarium at Miami. Three doctors performed an operation on the cow. She was manacled and nearly a foot under the outer hide the doctors found a 33-caliber bullet. As she was on exhibition not quite eight days, the sea cow cost the city of New York $375 a day. The Savannah Tribune. WAGES AND HOURS Both Show Improvement, the First Higher and the Latter Shprter. Food, However, Much Costiller. A report was issued by the bureau of labor at Washington, Monday, of an investigation into wages and hours of labor in 1905 in the principal manufacturing industries of the United States. The report gives the average wages and the hours of labor and the number of employees in identical establishments in both 1904 and 1905. While the figures presented are not exhaustive for the United States, the report says: "It is believed they are fairly representative of the industries investigated." Continuing the report says: "The results of this investigation show that in 1905 the average wages per hour in the principal manufacturing and mechanical industries of the country were 1.6 per cent higher than in 1904; that the average hours of labor per week remained the same as in 1904, and that 6.3 per cent more persons were employed in the establishments investigated. As there was no reduction in the average hours of labor per week, the average weekly earnings per employee were 1.6 per cent higher than in 1904. "As there was an increase in the number of employees as well as in the weekly earnings' per employee, there was a considerable increase in the weekly earnings of all employees, or, in other words, in the amount of the weekly pay roll. This increase was 8 per cent in the establishments investigated. "When the figures of this article relating to wages and hours of labor and those of the succeeding article relating to retail prices of food are brought together, it is seen that the retail prices of food, due weight being given to the quantity and cost of the different commodities, consumed were 6 per cent higher in 1905 than in 1904. As the average wages per hour increased more than the retail prices of food, the purchasing power of both hourly and weekly wages was 1 per cent higher than in 1904, or, expressed in other words, one hour's wages in 1905 would purchase 1 per cent more food than one hour's wages in 1904. "The average wages per hour in 1905 were 18.9 per cent higher than the average for the ten years period from 1890 to 1899, inclusive. The number of employees was 33.6 per cent greater and the average hours of labor per week were 4.1 per cent lower. The average earnings per week in 1905 were 14 per cent higher than the average earnings per week during the ten years from 1890 to 1899. The aggregate weely earnings of all employees, that is the total amount of the pay rolls, were 52.3 per cent higher in 1905 than the average during the ten years period named. "The retail price of principal articles of food, weighted according to family consumption of various articles, was 12.4 per cent higher in 1905 than was the average price for the ten years from 1890 to 1899. Compared with the average for the same ten years' period the purchasing power of an hour's wages in 1905 was 5.8 per cent greater and of a week's wages 1.4 per cent greater, the increase in purchasing power or weekly wages being less than the increase in purchasing of hourly wages because of the reduction of the hours of labor during the period." WOMAN'S SANITY QUESTIONED. President's Nemesis Given Three Days to Leave Oyster Bay Lunacy proceedings were instituted at Oyster Bay Monday against Miss Asil Esac, or Elizabeth Case (name spelled, backward), who created a disturbance during the church service attended by President Roosevelt Sunday. Should Miss Case remain within the jurisdiction of Nassau county officers three days she will be arraigned for commitment as an insane person. CURSES ON DEAD CASHIER. Depositors of Broken Bank Vent Their Rage At Coroner's Inquest. At Chicago Saturday, police were summoned to keep order at the inquest into the cause of the death of Frank Kowalski, teller of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, who sulcided at his home. The feeling of some of the depositors in the defunct bank was so great that the dead-teller was cursed as his body lay in the parlor of his home. The wreath on the door of the home was torn down and its flowers scattered by angry men. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 18, 1906. LABORS WELL DONE Georgia Legislature Adjourns With Brilliant Record. IMPORTANT LEGISLATION New Laws That Go on Statute Books Are of Far-Reaching Effect. Summary of Measures of Most General Interest. At 12:45 o'clock Thursday morning the Georgia house and senate, by concurrent resolution, adjourned sine die. Both houses worked overtime on the last day—three sessions being held on both sides of the capitol. The closing hours were characterized by the usual scenes, the clock being turned back, members indulging in all sorts of pastimes not exactly parliamentary in their nature, and everybody being anxious to rush business in order to get away. The presiding officers of both bodies were giving loving cups and pleasant speeches of presentation were tapped. In the closing hours the house passed the Candler bill, requiring all corporations to register with the corporation commissioner, who shall be the secretary of state, his salary being increased by $1,200, and concurred with the senate amendments to the Perry bill creating agrigultural schools in each congressional district. At the afternoon session the Phil Cook county bill was killed, and at the night session the bill assigning new counties to senatorial districts was passed. An agreement with the senate was reached over the pure food bill, which now only needs the governor's signature to become a law. the senate at the morning session passed the pure food bill and the Perry bill; at the afternoon session passed the appropriation of $15,000 for the Gordon statue and a like amount for the shaft to James Oglethorpe, and at the night session killed the anti-cigarette bill, the measure being talked to death. During the two years in which the members of the general assembly had served together, terminated by Wednesday night's session, many warm friendships had grown up among the members, and amid all the jollity of the last hours of the session there was an undercurrent of sadness, many realizing that they would say goodbye perhaps for the last time. The first measure of general importance to pass both branches of the legislature and to secure the approval of the governor was the Connor bill, appropriating $100,000 for the erection of an agricultural college building on the campus of the state university. One-half of this appropriation becomes available in 1907, the other half in 1908. After years of unsuccessful endeavor, a child labor law has been enacted. Much of the credit for the passage of this bill is due to Hon. Madison Bell, who aggressively set out at the beginning of the present session and overcome all odds. The most important measure passed at this session is undoubtedly the bill to establish the court of appeals. Should the people ratify the proposed amendment to the constitution at the October election, the county of Ben Hill will come into existence. It is to be formed of portions of Irwin and Wilcox counties, with Fitzgerald as the county seat. From and after January 1, 1907, bucket shops and all so-called exchanges where marginal transactions in futures are made are prohibited from doing business in this state. There are about forty or more of such Louses which will come under the ban of the Boykin bill in this state. After a hard fight, the joint resolution Mr. Russell of Muscogee was passed, appropriating $30,000 for a state exhibit at the Jamestown exposition. Another important measure passed was the Wright pure election bill. SULLIVAN VERSUS BRYAN. Illinois Committeeman Determined Not to Resign. Democratic National Committeeman Sullivan gave out at Chicago Wednesday a statement which he had prepared and mailed broadcast throughout Illinois in reply to William Jennings Bryan's demand that he resign from the national committee and his subsequent assertion that his opposition to Mr. Sullivan was prompted solely by his belief that "Roger Sullivan and John P. Hopkins had deliberately robbed the democrats of Illinois of their political rights." REBELS STIR POLAND Outbreak Starts Anew After Brief Quiescence—Bombs and Guna' Are Brought Into Action. A1 St. Petersburg special says: Acting apparently with a definite plan and at a signal the terrorists and the revolutionists Wednesday inaugurated a carnival of murderous attacks with bombs and revolvers on the police and troops in various cities in Poland, echoes of which are heard from Samara, Ufa, Yalta, Kiev and even far away Chita, where Acting Chief of Police Gorpinchenko was slain almost on his own doorsteps. The revolutionist campaign flamed out with special virulence at Warsaw, where over a score were slain in the streets and many were wounded. Among the killed, according to the latest official advises, were two sergeants of police, eight patrolmen, three. gendarmes, five soldiers, a Hebrew merchant and a woman. Policemen and soldiers were shot down like rabbits in the streets. Their assailants who traveled in small bands escaped. Bombs were employed in an attack on the police station of the Volsk precinct in Warsaw, where a sergeant, two patrolmen and a soldier were wounded. On account of attacks on post trains, the railway between Samara and Zlatoust was placed under martial law. Two of these attacks occurred near Ufa, revolutionists in each case flagging a train, bursting open the doors of the mall cars with bombs and rifling the registered pouches. The booty in one case amounted to $15,000; in the other case the amount is not known. Cossacks from Poltava refused to perform police duty at Tiflis. A large number of arrests were made. Detalls are unobtainable. The investigation into the attempt on the life of Grand Duke Nicholas on August 10 at the guards camp maneuvers at Krasnaye-Selo, has developed that ball cartridges were used in 96 rifles of the sharpshooters. A band of peasants from a neighboring village Wednesday morning attempted to storm the jail at Ivanovka and release some of their friends who had been arrested for participation in agrarian disorders. The Cossack guards were forced to fire, killing five and wounding three of the mob. Professor George N. Blakeslee of Clark University, Woroester, Mass, was arrested near Volokamsk as a suspicious character, although he had a certificate of identity from the American consul general, Mr. Smith of Moscow. He was released by order of the governor general. SOME BILLS THAT FAILED. Important Measures Which Were Defeated in Georgia Legislature. Among the important measures defeated during the session of the Georgia legislature just closed may be mentioned the following: The bill of Mr. Felder of Bibb, making burglary of an occupied residence at night punishable by death. The bill of Senator McHenry to lease the Western and Atlanta railroad for $60,000 per month for sixty years, the lease to commence at the expiration of the present one. The bill passed the senate, but met with defeat before the house committee. The senate defeated the bill of Senator Candler, creating a board of tax assessors in each county with power to equalize taxation. This bill was prepared as a substitute for the bill of Mr. Hall of Bibb to create a state board of tax assessors. The house also killed the Mattingly bond bill, a claim which has been pending for thirty-seven years. The bonds were issued in 1860 by Governor Brown for the purpose of paying for arms for the protection of the citizens of the state, and Mattingly purchased twenty-two of them. The house killed the bill of Senator Wheatley creating the office of lieutenant governor and also killed the substitute for the same offered by Mr. Felder of Bibb. Foreign Money for Prisco. The steamer Ventura, which arrived at San Francisco, from Australia, Wednesday night, brought $2,500,000 consigned to local banks. All Negroes to Be Driven Out of the Town of Silex. Missouri. Following a series of whippings, which has precipitated a race war, the negroes of Silex, Mo., six miles from Whiteside, are selling their property and fleeing. The trouble is the outgrowth of a whipping, which negroes gave James Edelman's nine-year-old son last week. Last Saturday a party of whites, in retaliation, seized a negro and whipped him. Later the boy's mother was whipped in a warehouse. CHINKS AS DIGGERS Uncle Sam to Employ Chinese on Canal Work. PRESIDENT SO DECIDES Present Quota of Workmen Entirely Inadequate and Agents Will Make a Deal with the Chinese A Washington special says: Chinese labor will be given a thorough test on the Panama canal. Contracts calling for 2,500 Chinamen for canal work have been prepared, and advertisements will be issued by the Isthmian Canal Commission in a few days for proposals from labor agents. If the initial 2,500 Chinamen prove a success, it is likely that many more will be taken to the isthmus to do the work which is too hard for the Jamalcans, now employed there in large numbers. Organized labor has offered much opposition to the use of contract Chinese labor, but the Jamaican workmen have proven inadequate, sufficient Spaniards cannot be had immediately to rush the work, and the Chinese are the last hope of the commission. President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, Chairman Shonts of the Isthmian Canal Commission and other men, prominently identified with the canal work, are known to have delayed employing Chinese until it became certain that the other help available was not equal to the demand. The administration has taken the position that the canal must be dug at any cost, and although the president urged that there be no haste in employing Chinese he did not stand permanently in the way of the plan to try the coolies. It is the intention of the commission to ask for bids from labor agents who will arrange with the Chinese government for the exportation of labor, transport the Chinese to the isthmus under contract to work for a fixed wage and ship them back to China, thus relieving the commission of all detail work and all responsibility. A bond will be required of all contractors for a satisfactory fulfillment of any contract they may enter into with the commission. There are said to be about thirty labor agencies which supply Chinese to contractors in all parts of the world. These agents are familiar with all the Chinese laws, stand ready to pay money to the families of the men who are going into their service and are ready on short notice to meet demands for an unlimited number of coolies. Leroy Park, a labor agent in the employ of the commission, is still in Spain negotiating with the Spanish government for the employment of a large number of peninsular Spaniards on the isthmus. His efforts promise to be successful, and the commission expects to recruit many high-grade, workingmen from Spain. It is the desire of Chief Engineer Stovens to have several kinds of laborers on the isthmus. The employment of the Chinese will not displace the Jamalcans who are already there, but it is not likely that many more West Indians will be hired if the Chinese prove a success. The negroes are paid only 80 cents a day against $1.60 to the Spanishs, who are said to be capable of doing three times as much work. If the contractors obtaining help for the commission do not pay more on the lsthmus than the Chinese, are paid in other parts of the world, it is believed the daily wage of the coolies will be less than that of the Jamaicanes on the lsthmus. WAGE SCALE AGREED UPON. Miners and Operators Each Made Some Concessions. The joint convention of coal miners and operators of district No.19, United Mine Workers of America, in session at Knoxville, Tenn., agreed upon a wage scale effective September 1, to continue for one year. Both sides made concessions. The new scale is in effect a restoration of the schedule of wages of 1903, which is practically an increase of seven and one-half per cent for miners and day laborers. --- USHER OUSTED WOMAN Who Has Persistently Annoyed President Roosevelt and Family at Services in Oyster Bay. Miss Asl L. Esac, who is summering in Oyster Bay, N. J. Y., for the purpose of interviewing the president or Mrs. Roosevelt on what she declares is "a matter of life and death," created a scene during the service in Christ's Episcopal Church Sunday. Miss Esac, or Miss Case, as her name is supposed to be, has attended every Church service the president has attended since his arrival in July. She has climbed Sagamore Hill on foot several times, only to be turned away by the secret service men. She presented herself early at the church and took a seat directly behind the pew usually occupied by the Roosevelt family. When Usher James Duffy requested her to relinquish this seat, she refused. Duffy forcibly removed her to the rear of the church, and Miss Esac says he tore her gown in so doing. For this act she later applied for a warrant for Duffy, but was refused. In the rear of the church Miss Esac refused to sit down. A secret service agent stood beside her and during the service she made no less than a dozen attempts to get past him. As the president was leaving the church three secret service men surrounded Miss Esac, but she shouted: "Mr. President, Mr. President, President Roosevelt, won't you speak to me a moment?" The president turned his head as he passed, but did not pause. Miss Esac says her watch chain was broken in this scrimmage with the secret service men and her watch fell to the floor. The president was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Quentin, and Representative and Mrs. Longworth. Miss Esac has stated to acquaintances she has made while in Oyster Bay that she was to have been married in the White House at the time Miss Alice Roosevelt became Mrs. Longworth; that she was to have married a high government official, and that it was this wrong she seeks to redress. When the president's carriage had departed, Miss Esac was allowed to go. It was then she sought a warrant for Duffy. She says she will stay in Oyster Bay, until she accomplishes her purpose. GIRL SAW FATHER KILLED. South Carolina Man Fights Duel With Daughter's Illicit Lover. A Greenville, S. C., special says: Cowering in a corner of her bedroom Miss Nannie Drake Saturday night saw her father, Thomas F. Drake, fight a duel to the death with her lover, Allen Emerson. Atter the exchange of several shots Drake fell dead with a bullet through his heart almost at the feet of his daughter and her lover, Emerson, staggred out of the room suffering from a severe but not fatal wound. When persons who had been attracted by the shots arrived they found the girl in hysterics over the corpse of her father and crying that she was guilty of his death. Drake, who is a wealthy planter, heard a noise in his daughter's room after midnight. Thinking there was possibly a burglar in the house, he took his pistol and went to the room. On entering he saw his daughter and Emerson under circumstances which caused him instantly to begin shooting. Emerson sprang for his pistol, which was on the table, and returned the fire. The outraged father fired four shots but only one took effect, the bullet striking Emerson in the thigh. After being wounded Emerson fired the shot that killed Drake. After Emerson killed Drake he left the house and went to Anderson, where he surrendered. When the circumstances under which Drake was killed became known, there was so much indignation expressed against Emerson that he was hurried to the Greenville jail to prevent possible lynching. Emerson is a cousin of Miss Drake. It is reported that the girl, overcome by shame and remorse, has fled. WILL RISK RACE.PREJUDICE. Filipino Students to Study Agriculture in Southern States. Philippine students sent to this country by the insular government to study agriculture, will hereafter devote their attention chiefly to the southern states, where sugar, tobacco, rice and other crops well suited to the islands are grown extensively. The woman suffrage rioters of England, observes the New York World; are doing great favors for the myriad American sisters who do not want votes thrust upon them. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN State Superintendent of Public Instruction, F. A. Cotton, is enthusiastic in his efforts to establish a theoretical as well as a practical course in agriculture in our rural schools. In a bulletin just out he outlines the plans for beginning this undertaking. The publication is issued in reference to the work to be taken up this spring. In substance, his scheme is this: In the first three years the pupils will be led gradually to understand and appreciate the value of birds, flowers, plants and animals, through the medium of conversation and written language lessons. The work in the fourth and fifth grades will be a combination of geography and outdoor study, with the purpose of quickening the observative powers of the pupils. In the sixth year, the importance of the farmer in the world's economy is dwelt upon. The closer study of seeds and plants, such as farmers grow, will be taken up; also inquiry into the relation of the plants to the soil, and the work of insects and wind in pollination, etc., will occupy an important part of the time. Experimental work will be introduced as far as possible. In the seventh and eighth grades work like that of grafting, tree pruning and planting will be in order. A more advanced study of farm crops will here be taken up, and the boys be induced to try cultivation experiments and report results the next year. The work designed for the township high school will be farther advanced, of course, than that in the preceding grades. Don't Prune! Most amateurs worry themselves over what they consider the intricate problem of pruning. My advice is simply this: Don't prune! Avoid the annual trimming that ruins so many of our gardens. There are more shrubs ruined by the pruning mania than by any other one cause and the worst part of it all is that the damage is suffered by just those people who would appreciate having a few good shrubs. After the thinning out of surplus specimens the only attention that the shrubbery needs is a thinning out of the old growth to make room for the new season's wood and of course the removal of any dead or dying branches. Remember that shrubs do not need the attention of the pruner to make them grow; pruning is only meant to make the garden look neater. And remember this golden rule: "Prune after flowering." This means that a late flowering shrub like the hydrangea can be pruned in the spring because the flowers are produced on the growths that it will make in the summer, but it is just as satisfactory to prune it in the winter time. The early flowering shrubs that flower on the growths of the previous season may be pruned in the spring, but not until after they have done flowering. Therefore, spirea, lilacs, deutzias, golden bells, and such like must not be cut back if you want to have flowers the same season. They will in all probability require some reduction of the top, but it must be done by reducing the number of the growths, rather than by shortening. —Leonard Barron, in Garden Magazine. Beginners and Varletles. The beginner in strawberries should consult with some experienced grower before selecting the variety, as the kinds used in some sections and on certain soils may not be suitable elsewhere. Some varieties thrive on heavy soils better than on light soil, while others give the best results on sandy soils. Some kinds are very large, but not good in quality. Never sacrifice flavor for size, as flavor is everything in a strawberry. Many growers prefer the varieties that stand shipment to market; hence, for a family supply, the aim should be to select a variety suitable for the soil, and of excellent quality, in preference to size and firmness. Do not overlook the fact that some varieties are both staminate and pistillate, while others are pistallate only. Should the variety selected be pistillate, every fourth row should be of some variety that is both staminate and pistillate, and which blossoms at the same time as the other, in order that fertilization may result, for if not there will be no fruit. There is no variety which can be said to be the best, as all varieties will excel in some respect and be lacking in other qualities. The proper method is to procure a variety best adapted to the soil and give good cultivation, with an abundance of plant food, and satisfactory results will usually follow. "Potted" plants are the runners taken from old strawberry plants that have rooted in small pots sunk in the ground, in convenient places for the purpose. These small pots are soon filled with roots, the plants and balls of earth being easily turned out without disturbance, and when transplanted continue to grow, almost a full crop of fruit next year being the result. "Potted" plants are largely in de- mand in the fall season of the year. Philadelphia Record. Feeding Chicks. It is quite the thing nowadays to keep dry feed before chickens all the while. Perhaps one of the best arguments in its favor is the opportunity it offers for the weaker or more timid members of the flock to get their share. Usually the "dry feed" is composed of the smaller grains, but ground feed is excellent served in this way, so there is a reasonable variety. A Pennsylvania man gives a heap of advice in the following paragraph: "We have tried all the different methods of feeding and have found the most successful is the dry feeding. We don't feed the chicks for from thirty-six to forty-eight hours after hatching, and then feed the dry chick feed, many different grains being mixed together. We feed this the first four weeks steadily. We also keep a box of beef scraps before them' at all times after the fifth day. We do not give them water until the third day. By following the above we can almost see our chicks grow. Would also say that we keep the chick feed before our chicks at all times the first few days, so they can eat as often and as much as they want. By this way we find the inactive chicks get more, and in a short time they start off and grow like the rest. As a rule it is the inactive chicks starving to death that runs the death rate up in brooder chicks. In regard to skimmilk we would not advise giving it to chicks under four weeks of age. I think after that it can be fed to chicks at an advantage. No doubt there are other methods which are giving good results for others, but the above has proven to be the best for us after twenty years' experimenting. After four weeks we vary the feed, dropping the chick feed and feeding cracked corn, whole wheat, oats, etc., feeding a mash (scalded) in morning, containing beef scraps." . Rational Culture of Corn. In order to grow a good crop of corn, it is essential for the soil to be well plowed and thoroughly pulverized. For this work a disc harrow, the spring-tooth and smoothing harrow and a drag or roller make a splendid combination; and that they may be employed to the best possible advantage, says Fred O. Sibley, in Eptomlist, it is advisable to wait until the ground is in proper condition for tillage. The aim should be to get the soil in thorough and complete tilth before planting. A thorough preliminary cultivation alds in the formation of plant food and by aerating or ventilating the soil, influences the soil temperature as well as, in a measure, controls the supply of moisture. Best of all, it kills out or retards weed growth, which is very important because weeds consume the plant food and to that extent rob crops. By shading the ground, they also have a smothering tendency and they take large quantities of water from the soil. To keep them back still more and at the same time help the further pulverization of the soil the field, if not made too wet by rains, should be gone over with a smoothing harrow just before the corn plants begin to show through the surface. If the teeth of the harrow are set at the proper slant or angle, sufficiently over not to tear out the corn, this method is really most effective in destroying young weeds. And a week later, or thereabouts, when the corn is two inches above the ground it will pay even to go over the field a second time with the harrow. The soil is thus left fine and mellow, the field clean and active and the corn plants not hurt a particle. This should be followed up by cultivating after every rain to break the crust, for continued cultivation is as much needed to conserve moisture as to kill the weeds. Keep the cultivator away from the corn roots, however, and try to handle the implement so as to leave the surface level and even, not in ridges. If other conditions are equal, such as requisite fertility and a favorable season, a fine growth of stalks and ears should then be obtained. FARM NOTES. Always feed at regular hours. A fat hen is queen on the market. Old hens are not profitable on an egg farm. Plan for plenty of soiling crops. Have an abundance of sweet corn to follow the peas and oats. No person who is affected with a cough or consumption should be allowed to care for cows or milk. Every milker should wear a clean overall suit, kept for the purpose. The hands should be washed before milking, and the fingernails cut short and kept clean. We are all of us forgetful, so let me whisper in your ear once more that nobody ever invented a strainer that would take impure matter out of milk. You must keep it out, or it never will be out. THE FACTS ABOUT COBALT WHAT IT IS AND WHERE FOUND. No Great Demand For the Mineral Heretofore, Hence It Has Not Been Extensively Mined---Mr. Edison's Discovery May Create a Demand For It---Original Form of the Mineral and How It Is Obtained---The Form In Which It Appears In North Carolina and the Localities Where It Is Found By JOSEPH HYDE PRATT. --- The North Carolina geological and economical survey has, during the past two or three weeks received a great many letters regarding the occurrence of cobalt in North Carolina, and it has been thought that a short article giving a description of the occurrences of the cobalt and the localities where it is known to occur in North Carolina would be of interest. Cobalt is a material that is very similar to nickel and nearly all the minerals in nature that contain one of these metals contains also a small percentage of the other. There is great similarity between the two metals and in the reduction of the ores both the nickel and cobalt go into the matter, which is afterwards refined and the two metals separated from each other. "On account of the small demand for cobalt, there has not been a great deal of prospecting directly for deposits of this metal; while on the other hand, the demand for nickel has constantly increased so that deposits of minerals containing this metal have been prospected for in many sections of the country. Up to the past two years all the cobalt has been obtained in this country, and Canada has been as a by-product either in nickel or lead mining and smelting, and there has been no direct mining for cobalt ores. Recently, however, new sources of supply of cobalt ores containing but little nickel has been found in Canada, which have resulted in the production of cobalt in some quantity and this could be increased very largely if a sufficient demand for the metal could be created. These deposits are along the line of the Temiscunning & Northern Ontario Railway, ninety miles northeast of the town of Sunburry, Canada. These cares carry a considerable percentage of cobalt and are rich in native silver, which makes the ore very profitable mining. Missouri Cobalt Orc. In the United States the only coaltal ores that have been mined to any extent are the lead-ores at Min La Motte, Mo., which contain considerable percentage of cobalt and a very small quantity of nickel. These are melted to a slag containing lead, nickel and cobalt, which is afterwards refined. The principal use of cobalt which is in the form of the oxide, is in manufacturing pigments, the principal one being known as cobalt blue. With nickel, however, the principal use has been as a steel hardening metal and some experiments have been made with cobalt for this purpose. There is not, however, a distinct enough property of the two metals to warrant the use of cobalt to any extent as a steel or iron hardening metal as long as its cost is so much higher than nickel. If, however, a special use can be devised for it, as has been advocated by Mr. Thomas Edison, in the manufacture of storage batteries, there should be a considerable increase in the demand for the metal, which would warrant more prospecting for sources of supply, although the present known sources of supplies of this metal can satisfy a very large increase in the demand. There are a number of minerals that contain a considerable percentage of cobalt, principally in the form of sulphides, arsenides and oxides. The principal minerals and the ones more constantly met with in nature are as follows: Linnaeite: A pale, steel gray, brittle mineral which tarnishes quite readily to a copper red color is as hard as steel, has a specific gravity of about 5; it is quite commonly found in octaherval crystals, but also occurs to massive. It is a cobalt sulphide containing sometimes a considerable percentage of nickel. This mineral is also known as cobalt pyrites. White Cobalt. Cobalite: This mineral is a cobalt arsenic sulphide of a silver gray to steel gray color, sometimes with a tinge of red or violet. It is of a tin white color and also massive, when the color is apt to change to a steel gray or a grayish color. It is as hard as steel and about 6.5 in specific gravity. It is known also as tin white cobalt and gray cobalt. These minerals have not been found in any large masses, but are more apt to be more or less sparingly disseminated through rocks and also through veins containing other minerals. These minerals in decomposing would form carbonates, sulphates, and oxides and cobalt, which would be entirely different in appearance from the minerals from which they have been derived. The more common alteration product would be the oxide and this is apt to be found largely mixed with other minerals, so that little or none of it has been found in the free state. The principal sources of this oxide of cobalt are in association with the mineral psalmolane, one of the manganese ores and that variety known as wad, or bog manganese. In certain localities this wad or bog manganese contains considerable cobalt oxide, when it is known as asbolite. These minerals are in color iron black, steel gray, and resembling somewhat a soft amorphous variety of graphite or black lead, for which they have at times been mistaken. Asbolite: This is also known as black cobalt, earthy cobalt and cobalt oxide. It contains sometimes as high as thirty-two per cent. of cobalt oxide. The North Carolina Deposits. In North Carolina none of the sulphides or arsenics, the original metallic minerals of cobalt, have been identified, but in a number of localities the oxide, or asbolite, has been observed, associated with manganese minerals or ores. The principal localities where the asbolite has been found are as follows: A few miles southeast of Cary, Wake County, where black manganese cobalt mineral can be observed for a quarter of a mile, outcropping occasionally on the surface. A little prospect work has been done here by sinking pits and making cuts across the vein, and it has shown it to be probably continuumicaceous schist extending in a general direction north twenty degrees east that can be traced from Bessemer City northeastward into Lincoln County. These schists contain throughout nearly the whole area numerous small seams, incrustations and stains of black manganese material which gives reactions for cobalt. Some of this material is largely iron oxide when it is more of a reddish or yellowish ochre color, but the most of it is black. At the Ormond iron mine, one mile southwest of Bessemer City, there is a considerable quantity of this material found mixed with the iron ore, and it may be that it was the cobalt which went into the pig iron that gives this iron its reputation for hardness and toughness. At the Long Creek Gold Mine, situated about six miles northwest of Dallas, Gaston County, masses of quality, taken out of the Asbury shaft, were thickly encrusted with mammillary masses of asbolite or earthy cobalt. About a mile northeast from the Long Creek mine, on the old Lincolnton, Yorkville, S. C., road, near the summit of Cross or Paysour Mountain, a band of rock hugeen feet wide across contains veins and seams of wad or asbolite. Following this vein in a northerly direction, it descends the west slope of Cross Mountain and fifty years ago a number of openings had been made on the asbolite seams. Some of this material was analyzed and gave 13.26 per cent. of the cobalt and nickel oxides, the larger amount of this being cobalt. The same formation can be traced into Lincoln County and similar seams of wad are observed. The original minerals from which this cobalt oxide is derived may be one of the th$_{\theta}$ sulphides mentioned above, or one of the sulphides that contain both nickel and cobalt. Where It L: Found. As all the cobalt identified in North Carolina has thus far been associated with psilomelane wad, it is such deposits that will attract the most attention in prosecuting for this metal. This mineral has been found at a great many localities throughout the State, as at Scott's Hill, Burke County, near Lenoir, Caldwell County; at Gillespie Gap, near Bakersville, Mitchell County; on Cove Creek and Richmond Creek, Haywood County; near Buckhorn, Chatham County; Murphy, Cherokee County; Franklin, Mason County; Webster, Jackson County; and Zirconia, Henderson County. The simplest test of cobalt is by fusing up some of the powdered mineral with borax, the cobalt oxide giving to the resulting borax glass a deep blue color. This test is so delicate that it will show even traces of cobalt and can be used even when a large percentage of nickel is associated with the cobalt.—Charlotte Daily Observer. Author of Leather Stocking Tales. He had little systematic education. His character was developed and affirmed before his mind was either trained or stored. His taste naturally suffered. Taste is the product of tradition, and of tradition he was quite independent, quite ignorant. Fortunately, he was also ignorant of its value, and when at thirty he began to produce literature his energy was unhampered by diffidence. But it was inevitable that the literature he produced should be extremely unliterary, and noticeably so in proportion to its power. His talent was not distinctly a literary talent. He had not even a tincture of bookishness. Of the art of literature he had perhaps never heard. It was quite possible in his day—singular as it may seem in ours—not to hear of it. He left school early and was a sailor, a man of business, a gentleman of more or less leisure—enough, at all events, to encourage a temperament that was aristocratic and critical, and not in the least speculative, adventurous, and aesthetic.

Timely Fashion Hints 04 New York City.—Walsts that close in the back yet give a chemisette effect are among the novelties of the season and are exceedingly desirable from every point of view. This one is among the best and includes trimming of lace over the shoulders that is very generally becoming. In the illustration the material is white 12 linen batiste, with the chemisette of tucking, trimming of lace and of banding, but there are a great many thin silks that are in vogue, and these as well as fashionable fabrics are in every way appropriate for the design, which, indeed, is one of those useful ones that can be made available for everything seasonable. The waist is made with a lining, that is used or omitted as the material renders desirable, and consists of front and backs. The backs are tucked for their entire length, the front to yoke depth only, and the chemisette is arranged under the waist, the whole closing together at the back. The trimming portions are cut in one piece each and arranged over the shoulders on indicated lines. The sleeves are the favorite puffa 10 finished, will roll-over cuffs and can be cut off at the elbows or extended to the wrists, as liked. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and one-half yards twenty-one, two and three-fourth yards twenty-seven or one and seven-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with three-eighth yard of tucking. for the chemisette, two and one-fourth yards of lace four and one-half* inches wide and three and one-half yards of banding to make as illustrated. No Gloves For Tennis. One doesn't of course expect a girl to wear gloves with her short sleeves when she is playing tennis or golf, but you do rather look for them when she comes down town. It is already a common sight to see arms burned to the elbow swinging along boldly. Perhaps they are bony, scrawny arms, too, but the wearer cares only for her comfort—and a comfortable fashion it certainly is. Serge in Colors. White serge is daily increasing in favor. Every suit that appears is almost sure to sell the material for another suit. Pure, clear white is as charming as it can be, but there is something especially soft and attractive about the creamy hint of the serges. Black velvet always adds a bright touch to them in the form of collar, cuffs, etc., but blue and green and even red are becoming if in harmony, with the complexion of the wearer. Cluny Lace Popular. There is no diminution in the popularity of Cluny lace; in fact, some authorities claim that it is still gaining ground, so no one will make a mistake by buying the real Cluny, expensive though it is, for trimming a handsome costume. Lace and Chiffon Waist. A baby Irish lace waist made over accordion-pleated chiffon, with yoke of German Val. lace. about one inch wide, the edge of the lace overlapping the under one. The effect was very good. The sleeves were above the elbow and had a wide band of liberty satin around the arm. Homemade Walsts. The girl who is skillful and ambitious but doesn't feel that she can pay say two dollars a yard for one of the stylish all-over embroideries, can evolve a very handsome waist, yes, a stunning one, from a fifty-cent batiste by embroidering it with large coin spots which are first well padded. Place the dots far apart. Child's Coat. The little coat made of lingerie material is one of the latest whims of fashion and is exceedingly attractive for the wee tots. This one is especially designed for the flouncing in which it is shown, but could be made from any plain material if the straight edges are appropriately trimmed, although the flouncing has certain advantages, notable among which is the fact that it reduces the labor of making to the minimum. For the very thin coats batiste is well liked and is always extremely dainty, but there are also slightly heavier flouncings which can be utilized for the everyday coats, while still plainer garments can be made of the flouncing that is finished with hemstitching only or of plaque scalloped at the edges. The coat is made with a plain body portion to which the full skirt is attached. The cape is separate and 100 consists of the yoke and frills and the neck is finished with a turn-over collar. The sleeves are full with rollover cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size (two years) is four and one-half yards of embroidery sixteen inches deep, with seven- ```markdown ``` eighth yard of plain material; or, five and one-eighth yards of material twenty-one, four and one-fourth yards twenty-seven or two and one-quarter yards forty-four inches wide. Parasols With Monogram. A very neat parasol to carry with one's white linen shopping or business suit is of plain white linen with a large monogram on one panel.

In Kentucky last week, it seems as if a judicial lynching was enacted to prevent a lawless one. The accused was arraigned, tried and executed in less time than one hour. Justice in this case seems to have outstripped itself. The Pioneer Press, the well edited weekly of Martinsburg, W. Va., says: "The Savannah Georgia, TRIBUNE is a recent addition to our exchange list. It is a good paper, is printed well and contains editorial and other matter which makes it a credit to its editors and publishers. Champions for fair play in the South like the TRIBUNE are necessary for the public good, and we hope it may continue to grow and prosper, thereby increasing its effective power." It seems now that the English in South Africa are bitterly opposing a party of American colored preachers there. The English claim that the clergymen are advocating the propaganda, "Africa for the Africans," and urging the natives to use their efforts to secure black supremacy in that part of the world. The deportation of the preachers has been suggested. The English want Africa and the whites on this side want America, and so it seems as if the Negro is continually kept "between the devil and the deep blue sea." The Charleston Messenger is urging the Colored business men of South Carolina to invest their money in a State Fair. The Messenger points to our State Fair as an example. "Georgia is going to give an example of how the thing can be done. It would be a good thing if our business men would visit our sister state during their Fall Festival celebration and gain inspiration from the magnificent display of their wealth and progress and come back prepared to excel anything they may have accomplished next fall in our own dear state. We have all the requisites; what we need is the inspiration, and our Georgia brethren will see that we get a full supply of that, if we only go and watch them." A DISCUSSION of modern business methods involves a consideration of those unique principles that mark the individuality of up-to-date business men. The present attitude of merchants toward customers has not always been prevalent. A few years ago merchants were negligent and sometimes indifferent, and they believed that they were doing the public a favor by transacting business. But to-day the merchant seeks and cultivates business, and is ever ready to accommodate the customer, by quickly ascertaining his wants and endeavoring to supply him with the desired article. In many instances they take back unsatisfactory goods and return the money. Politeness, promptness, originality and reliability must characterize the modern merchant and his business, or else they both go to the wall. And a sharp competition is continually raising the standard and compelling business men to do their best—to do, perhaps, what others have never yet done. It is encouraging to note that Negro business organizers are not slow to understand the situation and conform to modern methods as rapidly as possible. Thorough organization is what they are aiming at, we believe, and that is what they most need. Dr. Brockett's Ringing Plea for Working Men and Women. During the past fortnight or more, proud and historic Savannah has been called upon to witness a scene which has caused its colored citizens to bow their heads in dishonor and blush with shame. In an effort to enforce the provisions of the new vagrancy law, the officers of Savannah have arrested indiscriminately and upon unwarranted charges, some of the city's most industrious, honest, reliable, peaceful and law-abiding colored citizens. But though justice slumbers, it never sleeps. Highly incensed by this reckless and indiscriminate action on the part of the officers of the laws, and urged by every consideration of patriotism and loyalty to their kith and kin as well as to the majesty and dignity of the law, a large number of colored citizens assembled last Sunday night at the St. James Tabernacle to hear Rev. J. A. Brockett, D. D., pastor, preach a sermon especially prepared to meet the need of the hour. He took as his text the 1st verse of the 62nd Psalm. He made the present unjust enforcement of the new vagrant law, the basis of his remarks. Dr. Brockett's discourse was a notable one, and was pregnant with sound, practical advice for his people at this critical time. He urged upon the black citizenry of Savannah to stand up for their manhood rights and the equal protection of the laws at all times and under all circumstances. He made it plain to his hearers that a man's home is his estate, and that the black man, who permitted an officer of the law to enter his home and put him under arrest without a warrant or due authority simply because he appeared to be idle, was a rank coward and deserved to be an outcast of civilized society. He spoke with entire frankness and courage of civic as well as the industrial rights of the Negro, and protested against the outrageous treatment accorded the colored citizens in the name of the vagrancy law, when those citizens have been the mainstay and corner-stone of the industrial growth and civic prosperity of Savannah. In his characteristic broad-mindedness however, Dr. Brockett counselled the Negroes of Savannah to do nothing in a spirit of defiance to the law. His was solely a plea for simple justice and honesty on the part of the white man in enforcing the law, and a plea for racial pride and individual manhood on the part of the black man in his obedience to the law. "At the close of the sermon, Dr. N. W. Este read a copy of the provisions of the vagrancy laws together with a brief history of those laws and a legal interpretation of them given to Dr. Brockett by Judge Samuel B. Adams. The laws and the legal interpretation as read by Dr. Este as follows: Bavannah, Ga, Aug 10, 1906 Judge Samuel B. Adams, City: Honored Sir. In view of the fact that a number of the working men and women of the Negro race have been subjected to arrest and imprisonment on the charge of vagrancy, though these men are, temporarily unemployed and under existing conditions in the city, the same unwarranted humiliation and hardship may at any time be visited upon any of the colored citizens of the city, we as pastor and members of St. James Tabernacle very respectfully request your legal opinion as to who and who are not subject to arrest for vagrancy. Rev. J. A. Brockett, Savannah, Ga., Dear Sir:— Replying to your communication of this date asking my opinion as, to the scope and meaning of the Vagrancy Law, I beg to say that, under the present law, it is provided that vagrants are: "1. Persons wandering or strolling about in idleness, who are able to work and have no property to support them. "2. Persons leading an idle, immoral or proligate life, who have no property to support them and who are able to work and do not work. "3. All persons able to work, having no proverb to support them, and who have no visible or known means of a fair, honest and reputable livelihood. The term 'visible or known means of a fair, honest and reputable livelihood,' as used in this section shall be construed to mean reasonably continuous employment at some lawful occupation for reasonable compensation, or a fixed and regular income from property or other investment, which income is sufficient for the support and maintenance of such vagrant. "4. Persons having a fixed abode who have no visible property to support them, and who live by stealing or by trading or bartering stolen goods. "5. Professional gamblers, living in idleness. "6. All able bodied persons who are found begging for a living or who quit their house, and leave their wives and children without the means of subsistence. "7. That all persons who are able to work and do not work, and who have no property or other means of support, but hire out their minor children and live upon their wages, shall be deemed and considered vagrants. "8 All persons, over sixteen years of age, able to work and who do not work, and have no property to support them, and who have not some known and visible means of a fair honest and reputable livelihood, and whose parents are unable to support them, and who are not in attendance upon some educational institute." The foregoing is a quotation from the last Act of the Legislature on the subject defining the different classes of people who are vagrants. This Act and a former Act amend the law as it has stood for many years, and the greater part of the quotation in this letter has been the law of the State for many years. The important amendment to the old law was passed in 1903, and is commonly known as the Calvin Act. The next and last law on the subject was passed in 1905, but this act of 1905 does not change the Act of 1903 as to who are vagrants, or as to what constitutes vagrancy. The law then, as quoted in this letter, is to be found in both the Acts of 1903 and 1905. Noticing a statement in your letter of inquiry, I advise that the law was never intended to reach working-men, who work regularly and habitually, but who may be temporarily not working on ac- count of a "strike," and who are conducting themselves in a law-abiding and orderly way. To use the language of the Supreme Court of Georgia construing this law, "What is known as the Calvin Act (Acts of 1903, page 46) is merely an amendment to the vagrancy laws of this State as they existed at the time of its passage, enlarging the definition of the term vagrant and prescribing a new method of apprehending and punishing such persons as come within its provisions. It will be observed that under both the old law and the new amendment, the gist of the offense of vagrancy is the failure or refusal of the offender to work when work is necessary to support himself or his family. As was said of the old law in Daniel vs. The State, 110 Ga., 916, so it may be said of the amendment: "The Statute was enacted to prevent men able to work from idling and wandering about the community and becoming drones or thieves or charges upon the public. It is, therefore, an abuse of the law to arrest a man or woman who happens not to be working, or who may not have been working for some time, provided that person cannot be successfully charged with a failure or refusal to work when work is necessary to support himself or herself or family, and he or she does not belong to any of the classes mentioned in the law quoted. A minor under the age of 16 cannot be arrested for vagrancy. Our Supreme Court held, in the case of a minor between 16 and 21 years, that the conviction was unlawful when it was not shown that the parents of the minor were unable, to support him or her, Paragraph eight of the law quoted shows when a minor between 16 and 21 may be adjudged a vagrant. A person is not subject to arrest for vagrancy except under warrant properly sworn out before a judicial officer. Should men on a strike become disorderly, or attempt to interfere forcibly, or unlawfully, with other workmen, they may make themselves subject to prosecution for the violation of whatever offense may be committed, but they are not agrigants, unless they come within the spirit and meaning of the law as indicated in the quotation above made from a decision of our Supreme Court. If you and other members of the Clergy could induce working men, who may be on a strike, or may be temporarily out of work, to leave bar-rooms and liquor alone, and conduct themselves in an orderly manner, they will keep out of trouble, and, if oppressed under the abuse of the Vagrancy Statute, they will be entiled to protection. SAN'L B. ADAMS. Mr. J. R. Johnson, a layman and private citizen of worth and respectability was then asked to read the names of some of the hard working men who had been humiliated by the unjust and indiscriminate enforcement of the vagrancy law. Mr. Johnson stated in unmistakable terms that these men were all honest, sober, industrious, peaceful and law-abiding citizens of Savannah and have done nothing to cause their arrest or humiliation. At this juncture Mr. F. M. Bell, one of Savannah's substantial most respectable and influential citizens, who has stood the bond of some of the fortunate victims of vagrancy law, even when their employers refused to give bail for them, was introduced to the audience and spoke earnestly and sensibly for several minutes which was also a practical message to the colored citizens and he declared that so long as his colored brothers, stood their ground like men and contended for what was right, nothing more, nothing less, just so long he would prove a substantial to friend them. He closed his remarks by asking for a collection to be used to secure legal aid to protect the colored people from further humiliation and unlawful molestation through the vagrancy law. Rev. J. A. Hadley, who was present was next called upon and made a brief remarks. Mr. L. S. Reed and several other representative citizens were present but the hour was late and so these were asked to reserve themselves for a subsequent mass meeting which is to be held Sunday to at St. James Tabernacle. This indeed a remarkable meeting in the interest of the hard working Negro men and women of Savannah There was no protest made in behalf of the shiftless, worthless and indolent Negroes. The spirit of the meeting was decidedly against this class which did not fall to receive its full share of contempt and utter disgust. But for the honest, sober, industrious, reliable, peace-loving and law-abiding Negro men and women of Savannah. This meeting was admirable in the interest and variety of the remarks made in their behalf. Ethusiism might run ever so high but feeling was never in danger of obscuring clearness of vision or of causing a wandering from the point at issue. Each speaker stuck to the subject under consideration and never forgot for a moment that the injustice and humiliation heaped upon the working Negro men and women by careless and ruthless officers through the vagrancy law was the burden of his thought. Especially in its pervading tone was this meeting earnest and sane, strikingly free from bitterness, and cheerful and hopeful throughout. It is adapted to do much good. The next meeting, August 10th, promises to be a monster mass meeting. The initial meeting has given impetus to the rising tide against the prevailing spirit of intolerance and injustice towards the working Negro as shown by the Indiscriminate enforcement of the vagrancy law, and the second meeting, it is hoped, will prove equally if not more helpful. The following gentlemen constitute the committee of arrangements for the meeting Sunday: Messrs F. M. Bell, J. M. Millen, L. S. Read, W. R. Fields, B. Barnes, I. S. Moore, S. W. Carter, Robert Sales, J. R. Johnson, J. *R*. Proctor, E. R. Williams and Dr. N. W. Este. Every colored citizen is urged to be present. Don't forget the time and place. Sunday, August 10 at 3:10 p. m.

R. which meets in Richmond, Va., Sept 4-11 are informed that after a careful consideration of routes, the Seaboard Air Line Railway has been selected as the official route to the convention city. They will leave Savannah at 1:15 p.m., on Sunday, Sept. 2nd, reaching Richmond 6:35 next morning. A special cach has been arranged for on this train and date for the exclusive accommodation of the "True Reformers" and guests. Tickets will be on sale September 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, limited to return on any train until September 13th, 1906. at a rate of one fare 25 cents for the round trip. The above arrangement has been made in order to protect those who go, from the annoyance generally caused by passengers getting on and off the train. The committee there fore request that all who attend, go together on this special car. All delegates or others intending to go will notify J. H. Ashby or some one of the committee as they must be able to inform the railroad if further accommodation will be necessary by August 30th. Committee J. H. Ashby, E. Faisor, N. McGriff, S. S.

WOMANS REALM There is a new nail polish that is said to be excellent that is imported by a house whose name is the synonym for perfection. The beauty of this polish is that it is not harsh like so many of the powders, but when it is rubbed upon the palm of the hand and the nails then rubbed against the palm, a beautiful gloss is produced without unpleasant friction or burning. Dodge First-Hand Photographs. Can you, justly apply the word "vainish" to women of society who, know, show unreliable the camera may prefer to have newspapers and magazines print pictures of themselves that have been photographed from paintings, asks the New York Press. Many a pretty woman turns out the reverse of pretty on the plate, for her charm may be depend on expression, rather than symmetry of feature. Whatever the alter's greater charm may be, it is not lost by the portarit painter who knows his business. Indeed the pictures of some society women who have no objection to posing in the public are so exceeding lovely in publication that if the names were not printed beneath, their friends would say: "Who's that?" Home-Made Jackets. The jackets that are so extremely fashionable are not impossible for amateurs to make, provided a good pattern is at hand. There must be sufficient material used in the fronts of the jacket to permit of its being fastened, although the design is to have the coat worn open, showing a waistcoat or fancy waist. A mistake that amateurs are apt to make is that of cutting the fronts of the jacket too narrow in order to gain the effect that is given in the model. With sufficient width the fronts can be turned back if so desired, but even when left to hang loose they will not look too wide, for they will stay in place. A good investment for any woman who has her gowns made at home is a lace or embroidered bolero jacket. There are any number of designs to choose from this season—and the prices vary greatly, so that it is possible to purchase them at comparatively low cost. With a jacket of this description one gown will do much duty—Harper's Bazar. Best-Cures at Home. Though dietetics is a ponderous subject in itself, the woman with the at-home sanitarium must give it distinguished consideration. The so-called meal and a half may include a light breakfast, with a good dinner in the evening, or the small breakfast with the abundant dinner at noon, and nothing until the next morning. The latter plan is preferred because it gives the stomach plenty of work once a day, to develop it as any other muscle of the body, and a long period of rest. If the beginner finds the intermission too exacting, however, a cup of malt- as this gives considerable nourishment with but little tax on the digestive organs. The amount of food to be taken at these meals is a matter of Individual computation, depending somewhat upon the amount of exercise the rest-cure patient may be taking. Presumably, the breakfast of fruit, a cereal, and cereal coffee, or the dinner of purée soup, a meat or fish, several vegetables, maybe a salad, and a light dessert with cereal coffee, makes a satisfactory repast.—Harper's Bazar. Canada, the Eveless Eden. Canada is winning the unenviable reputation of an Eveless Eden. The men outnumber the women, and even immigration does not mend matters, for it is figured that of the 14,000 new settlers who have arrived in Canada since the first of the year, not more than eight per cent. of them have been women. Of this eight per cent, the majority were married: women. In the western part of the Dominion the lack of women is a serious handicap to the development of the country. The settlers cannot find wives, and as women plays just as important a part woman in the drama of a new country, the government of Canada is involved over the unenviable situation. The Government is satisfied with the class of immigrants that has arrived this year. They are said to be a sturdy lot of men, few of whom are past forty-five, and most of whom are between twenty and twenty-five years, and many are fairly well-to-do. A large number are from the north of Ireland, many from Scotland, and the rest from two hundred centres of England. The Government frankly admits that the Dominion cannot supply wives for the new settlers and advises them to send to the old country for mates. Now, if Massachusetts were only in Ireland, the problem would be partly solved, for in the old Bay State the women largely outnumber the men. Rochester Post-Express. Beauty Talks on Eyes. resting for half, an hour in a room and placing-over the eyes old linen which has been sat urated with rose water, the eyes will be rested, and will brighten considerably. One kind of eye that is never beautiful is the one that fails to look squarely into yours. Watch out for that type. The white of the eye should be clear; when it is yellow it is a sign of ill health. The real beauty of one's soul window is in the expression, the change, the speech one might call it. The eye that lightens and laughs or looks deep, sympathy is the one that impresses its image most strongly upon our memory. The physical beauty of the eye depends more upon the size and elongation than upon the color. If the form be bad or if the eye be not well set in the head, no color can make the eye beautiful. Some time ago belladona was resorted to as a means for giving luster to the eyes by enlarging the pupils, with sad consequences. This is a drug which should never be used except by a physician who understands its effects. Bathing the eyes with rose water or a weak solution of boric acid is a safe practice and will strengthen them. But if you would have your eyes bright be animated and cheerful. An excellent health rule for bright eyes and a clear skin is to take the juice of a lemon in a glass of water with a dash of salt added. This acts directly on the liver, which has more to do with good looks than most of us imagine. High-Class Domestic Service The growth of enormous fortunes in the United States is bringing back the old English fashion of high-class domestic service. In that time the domestic chaplain was an upper servant who received less consideration than the modern butler, and the family lawyer was a functionary of hardly more worth and dignity. The family doctor, having the power of life and death, may have been treated with more civility, but the trials of tutors and governesses in wealthy families always has been a fruitful topic of pathetic fiction. The fashion is coming back to the excessive rich. The bread and butter of the clergyman still depends on the favor of the rich men. The retirement of the pastor of what is called the Rockefeller church in New York, calls attention to the fact that the richest man in America is the patron of two churches and a great university. The cause of Dr. Johnston's retirement is a mystery. It is said that some of his timid anlmdversions upon the arrogance of wealth and the evils of Wall street gambling have given offense in powerful quarters. The ulgh class domestic service of the excessive rich is not confined to the cure of souls. Such cases are not uncommon where a lawyer or physician practices his profession for the sole benefit of a wealthy man. When Chaucey Depew was general counsel of the New York Central he served and touted for the rich Vanderbilt family everywhere, from the dinner table to the Legislature at Albany. The humiliations of ancient domestic chaplainls are recalled by the refusal of one of the Vanderbilt women to receive him at her table on the ground that her own butler had no seat there.—San Francisco Argonaut. Children's Attire. To every mother who enjoys dressing her children prettily the present style cannot help but be a delight. It is like playing dolls all over again to get up the dalnty little dresses with their appropriate headgear, for everything is designed with an eye to piquant becomingness. Then little missy's fashionable wardrobe must contain unnumbered trifles which are truly as charming as doll toys. Parasols, fans, chains and bracelets accompany the finer frocks, dalnty silk underslips and even seperate silk petticcans are for the transparent ones, with other countless splendor in the way of sashes and hair ribbons. One or more little frocks for afternoon summer dancing are also indispensable, which means that little slippers and stockings even call for the ball tints of doll finery, says the Washington Star. Last, but not least, the care of the hair, teeth, skin and nails is regarded as a sacred obligation, so that when Miss Kitty and Master Tommy start forth they are as immaculately groomed, indeed, as is the French doll. Without doubt, the prettiest notion of the hour for children below eight is the enormous use of wash materials. There are no summer occasions when a small girl or boy cannot wear tub materials, and certainly the fresh and wholesome effect of these give an added charm to childhood. Especially are the garments provided for rough out-of-town use delightful, and in the simple slip dresses and sunbonnets, and overalls and flap linen hats, both lads and lassies are fetching. Girls and boys allike wear the gingham romper and overall suits, and for sensitive eyes sunbonnets and flap hats are allike lined with green. All of this headgear is put together with buttoning, which makes washing so easy that there is never any excuse for a soiled headpiece. 2 LITTLE PRINCE EDWARD, OF WALES, AND HIS TUTOR, STROLLING ALONG PALL MALL. MODERN CHAIN CABLES. Huge Links Made to Hold Giant Ocean Liners. Apropos of the massive chain cables made for the new Cunard liners, Shipping Illustrated gives some interesting facts. In the illustration is shown three of the links of a huge cable made in Wales for the Cunard Steamship Company. The iron is $3 \frac{1}{2}$ in. diameter at the smallest part of the link. Each link measures about $22 \frac{1}{2}$ in. in length, and weighs, with the crucible cast steel stud, about 160 pounds. Recently the Cunard Company gave notice that they required some links to be tested to destruction, and three links were cut off the cable as made and sent to Lloyd's Proving House at Netherton. The sample was first tested to the British Admiralty proof strain of 189.8 tons, at which strain each link elongated not quite one-quarter of an inch. T. o statutory breaking strain of 265.' tons was next applied, and the links were further elongated about three-quarters of an inch. After this an attempt was made to test the sample "to destruction," but the full power of the testing machine at 350 tons failed to accomplish this result: indeed, it is understood the J. Sample links of a Modern Cable. actual tension applied was over 370 tons. On a careful examination of the links, no sign of fracture or defect of any kind could be found. The strain applied was about ninety per cent. above the admiralty proof strain. The two main cables for the new Cunarder consists of two lengths, each 165 fathoms, i.e., a total length of 330 fathoms, of 1980 feet, in fifteen-fathom lengths, joined together by twent'. two joining shackles, and with anchor shackles for connecting to the anchors. The weight of the cable is 122 tons. Chain that will stretch instead of snap in a sudden strain is necessary for cables. Fish Story Hard to Beat. Here is a fish story told by a British nobleman: An Irishman and caught a big pike. Noting a lump in its stomach, he cut it open. "As I cut it open there was a mighty rush and a lapping of wings, and eway flew a wild duck; and when I looked inside, there was a nest with four eggs, and she had been afther sitting on the nest." Interesting Toy. The simple principle used to spin a top has been applied to a new toy by a Texas inventor. He calls it the whirligig. As shown here, the frame is open on all sides, the top and bottom being solid pieces of wood. Extending through the centre is a shaft, which projects quite a distance above the top of the frame. Within the frame, secured to the shaft near the end, is a circular platform, on which the figures are placed. Suspended from the top of the shaft are cords, the ends of which are attached to a small bar. The operation is as follows: The cord is wound around the shaft, leaving only sufficient room to press on the bar with two fingers, one on each side of the shaft. The pressure starts the shaft in mo- 100 Figures Revolve. tion, which evolves the platform. The momentum unwinds the balance of the cord and also rowls it. The bar is again depressed, and the operation continued indefinitely. By an arrangement of the mechanism, the figures always rotate in the same direction. Mirrors to Help the Driver. Drivers who are obliged to run through heavy traffic to any extent find it of considerable advantage to affix a small bit of mirror plate to the right stanchion of the canopy just above the lash, so that the following traffic may be observed without turning the head. Such a device may be very simple and easily contrived, and serves to relieve the driver of considerable anxiety and twisting through closely crowded streets.—Motor World. New Idea in Ladders. Ladders are such common, ordinary articles that anybody can build one, there being no secret in their makeup. The disadvantage of the ordinary ladder is that it cannot be used in narrow and crowded places. In manufacturing plants, where machinery is placed together, with projecting arms at every point, it is impossible to get a ladder into position. For just this purpose a California man constructed the ladder shown in the illustration, and in order that nobody should steal the idea he applied for and was granted a patent. By For Use in Close Quarters. decreasing the size of the stops, making the lower one very small, he has devised a ladder that should prove exceedingly useful in a great many instances. High Prices For Fish. "In these days," said a fish dealer, "people pay for fish luxuries prices that they never used to dream of. The costliest fish in this market now is English sole, which sells for sixty cents a pound, but there is a demand for it at that price. Striped bass brings as much as fifty cents a pound, and kingfish from forty to fifty cents."—Detroit News Tribune. Are Responsible For Millions of California's Wealth. The introduction of the seedless navel orange has revolutionized the orange industry of the United States. It has drawn 13,000 men from other pursuits and transformed vast areas of sunbaked land in California into orange groves. It has been the prime factor in the growth of a dozen towns of 5000 and 10,000 persons in southern California and has added directly more than $43,000,000, and indirectly $60,000,000 more to the taxable wealth of the State. The first seedless orange trees were apparently freaks of nature and their counterparts have never been found. Early in the '70's William Judson, United States consul to Bahla, Brazil, heard an account from natives of a few trees in the swamps on the banks of the Amazon, some sixty miles away. He sent a native up the river to get some of the fruit and to bring him some of the shoots of the tree. When the native returned the consul was delighted with the specimens and sent six of the shoots, carefully packed in moss and clay, to the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The trees did not excite much interest at the department. Two which were planted in the department grounds died for lack of care and others were forgotten for months. The crop of the first years netted sixteen seedless oranges, and those were exhibited all over California. There were about a box of oranges in the second yield and they were even better than the first crop. The planting of groves of seedless oranges propagated from the buds from the two original trees began in earnest in 1882. The following year the demand for buds from the Tibbet trees, were so large that a dozen buds sold frequently for $5, and some growers paid even as high as $1 aplece for them. Remarkable But True Statement. Hon. Francis S. Hesseltine, of our Boston Bar, sends to Our Dumb Animals the following, written to him by Dr. J. Langdon Sullivan, a prominent physclan: "The facts you ask for are as follows: Twenty years ago a gentleman brought to my office a large, very handsome intelligent spaniel dog whose right foreleg was badly broken, the bone being grown out of place. On the master's assurance that the dog would not bite me I set the legi Drawing the bony fragments into place caused severe unavoidable pain. The animal whimpered, but displayed no anger, and allowed the dressing to remain undisturbed until I removed it when firm union had resulted. I saw no more of my canine patient nor of his owner for two years. Then (again on a summer's morning) I heard a loud scratching at my office door. I opened it and there stood my old spaniel friend, wagging his tail. Beside him stood a fine black-and-tan with a round French nail driven clear through his right paw. I patted the spaniel, called both dogs in, removed the nail and sent both away happy, trotting side by side as if nothing had happened. I have never seen anything of either since." The Forest Giant. The Gladwin Record gives a splendid view of what it regards as probably the last big log rollway on Cedar River. The long stretch of logs and handsome river scene make a magnificent spectacle, yet it cannot be contemplated without a feeling of sadness in the breast of every old lumberman who will behold in it the passing of what once seemed a serried and unconquerable army, of forest giants, capable of holding out, with petty losses, for all time, against civilization and the lumber barons. A scene in camp, with old Angus Macdonald and his husky ox team at the front, affords an interesting study. Grisselz Mack, now verging on seventy, but still as hale and hardy as an old buck, has spent fifty-two winters in the lumber woods, and it would not be strange if with his love for the forest it will be his dying request to be allowed to stand in the range of the last lumber monarch to be felled on the Cedar River, and in its crash meet a glorious death beneath its sturdy trunk; for what would there be left for rugged "Old Mack" worth while living for?—Detroit News. Curlous Habits of Foxes The animals on which the fox usually preys are often left untouched round his home; and it is even asserted that nothing is killed on the side of the hill in which that home is made. In a small patch of nettles within a few feet of the mouth of the foxes' earth a partridge placed her nest and brought off her brood. Round this nettle bed the cubs were constantly to be seen, and in it they played hide and seek. In another case the entrance to an earth was surrounded by five or six rabbit holes the tenants of which were unmolested by their next door neighbors. In a third a litter of cubs was placed in a large pit surrounded by fencing, from which there was no escape and in which there were a number of rabbits. None of these was attacked by the cubs, though they would seize a dead rabbit in full of sight of the person who had shot and thrown it to them.—Native Notes. An Old Painter's Ideas. The Autumn season is coming more and more to be recognized as a most suitable time for house-painting. There is no frost deep in the wood to make trouble for even the best job of painting, and, the general seasoning of the Summer has put the wood into good condition in every way. The weather, moreover, is more likely to be settled for the necessary length of time to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry—a very important precaution. An old and successful painter said to the writer the other day: "House owners would get more for their money if they would allow their painters to take more time, especially between coats. Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry-enough not to be 'tacky', several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through. It is inconvenient, of course, but, if one would suffer this slight inconvenience, it would add two or three years to the life of the paint. "All this is assuming, of course, that the paint used is the very best to be had—the purest of white lead and the purest of linseed oil, unmixed with any cheapener. If the cheap mixtures, often known as 'White Lead' and oil which has been doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn oil, or other of the adulterants known to the trade, are used, all the precautions of the skilled painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly in a year or so and, therefore, make painting bills too frequent and costly. "The house owner should have his painter bring the ingredients to the premises separately—white lead of some well-known, reliable brand and linseed oil of equal quality—and mix the paint just before applying it." Painting need not be expensive and unsatisfactory if the old painter's suggestions are followed. Modas for Motorists. It is suggestive of how swift is the evolution of fashions at the present time that even in such an exclusive department of clothing as that of modes for the motor there seems to be always some change to record. The chief point worthy of note at the moment seems to be the general waning of the popularity of leather for coats, the general conclusion being that it is too reminiscent of the chauffeur. Apart from this, there is also the question of the way in which it shows the dirt, and, although it is, of course, quite possible to have such a coat cleaned, this is an extensive and expensive business. As a lining, however, leather is more to be desired than ever it was, and in this capacity it is very much used. Under such circumstances it is possible to employ the most delicate tones, and champagne, pale blue, and the paleest green are among the shades most frequently employed. The outer part of the coats thus lined is tweed, either self-colored, which perhaps looks smarter, or in the mixtures in which green is the dominant color; in fact, there is every sign that this is to be a green season, Blittdale Record. TWO VIEWS OF THRIFT Rockefeller was delighted with the thrift of the French. "Beautiful, beautiful," he murmured, then added musingly: "Yet if my countrymen were equally saving where would I be?" So serious was the train of thought started by this reflection that he forgot to tip the waiter.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. SO IT DOES. "You ought to take a trip through one o' them big shoe, manufactories down East," remarked the old-fashioned cobbler. "I've been through one," replied the other. "What dye think of all that modern machinery?" "Well, it certainly does beat awl." A WTNNING START A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force For the Day. Everything goes wrong if the breakfast lies in your stomach like a mud pie. What you eat does harm if you can't digest it—it turns to poison. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says: "Two years ago I contracted a very annoying form of indigestion. My stomach was in such condition that a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great distress. "I was slow to believe that trouble could come from such a simple diet, but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course, and have not suffered except when injudiciously varying my diet. "I have been a teacher for several years and find that my easily digested breakfast means a saving of nervous force for the entire day. My gain of ten pounds in weight also causes me to want to testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. "Grape-Nuts holds first rank at our table." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

W, HENDERSON, +” Subject: The Christ Life. eee SSE, SRS WUSISE Asie, LC Rey. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Philippians {:21: “For me to live is Christ.” He safd in the course of his sermon: It is my desire to convey to your minds and to press lastingly upon your hearts some homely, yet help- ful, truths relative ¢o the Christ life. Persuaded of the similarity of your cares, trials, difficulties, problems, to my own, and recognizing the com- mon needs of all men, I would talk to you about this text.» Horace, the old Roman poet, sings the praises ‘of him to whom it is sweet and honorable to die for his country. I bring to you from the Book of Books no note of death, but a psalm of life. “For me to live is Christ,” and to pass beyond the veil 4s but to enter into life more abund- ant.” Thus says Paul. For bim and tor us there fs no death. To live the Christ life here is to dwell within the slory of His presence there, “For me to live is Christ"—a plan of self- dedication to His service here, a2 earnest- of our entrance into joy eternal there. “For apart from Me ye can do nothing,” saith the Lord. St. Paul, the most strenuous of Christians, epitomizes the Christian life in these words to the church at Philipp!. His utterance states the sum and substances of the complete spiritual life. Our aim and our pleasure it should be, as it is our duty, as men and women who love our Lord, to so live, that men, Jook- ing upon us, may view in us the risen Christ. ‘The text presents to our minds a fourfold thought. Broadly speaking we may say that men have four rela- Lions in this life—to God, to society, to the home and to themselves. To set forth the same thought different- ly: Men have spiritual, civil, domes- tic and personal duties. Relation might be multipliéd upon relation; duty upon duty could be indefnitely- remarked. But that would be to suggest subdivisions rather than fun- damentals. Indeed, I am cognizant that the moral duty to the home ray easily be included under the bead of social relations, But for the pur- pose of the moment we will resolve the ethics of the Christ life into the aforementioned divisions. The first, the greatest, the noblest imperative in the life of the maa who desires to conform to the pattern of the true Christ life, who wiskes to make the words of Paul his motto for right living, is to love and to serve and obey our Heavenly Father. I_may say that the whole duty of man is bound ip in this declaration. For, Christianly speaking, taere is no department of life into“which the service of our God does not enter. Loyalty to God- is the basis of all, purest ‘living and. highest thinking. To be true to the FatheF is to be loyal to society and strong: for self. ‘We may not be true to God and un- true to the social, civil and domestic conditions with which the mere fact of life confronts us. “The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof,” sings the psalmist. To be a traitor to the world is to be raven toward the Maker. We may not praise God with our lips and dis- obey Him in our every act. Our words, honeyed though they be, will | count naught for us unto righteous- ness, The test of fealty is in action. We must measure true to the ideals that we preach. Prayer and praise are worthy, but they are not service. Prayer pleases God and it strength- ens us. Praise, no doubt, makes joy among the angels who surround the throne. But it is the service which does things; the-prayer whlch re- solves itself into action; the praise that is founded upon the knowledge of a task, through His grace, well done, hich makes most for pleasure and for joy in the heart of our King. The Christ was true to God and to man and to self, The happiness of His Father's universe was His hope and-care. To His home, tc His neighbors, to His country, to all ‘trusts, the Saviour was faithful. He had an eye singly toward holy and hallowing service. Preaching a gos- pel of lite, He lived a life of Jove. And so, to be like Christ we -1ust live like Christ. His hopes must bé our hopes; His -pleasures must_be our pleasures. The motive in His life must be the force which, in our lives, will make for goodness and godliness. And godliness {s but goodness raised to infinity. As the Christ was, so must the Christian be, truly spiritual. His guide and his guard must be the Comforter who cometh from above. Divinity, deep down in his heart, will be the power and the mainspring in his life. * * Christianity fs pure polities, clean business methods, sturdy honesty and noble purpose, all rolled into one.

Honesty is but a step t8ward holiness. Nobility and sin- cerity are mighty forces. And these facts the civic and the business worlds are recognizing more and ‘more: Dishonesty is a bad aesets and the Christian man, who stands four square to the world upon the rock Christ Jesus, is to have the call. ‘Time-serving politicians may scoff; those who define character in the terms of preferred stock, and who prefer gold to goodness, may con- tinue to misjudge what is highest in life; sin may seem still to have the stranglehold upon the world; Chris- tlans may stumble, yea fall, upon the King’s highway, be derelict tp duty and to faith, may imitate poor, fore- warned Peter and deny fhe Christ, but tie eterna! principles of individ- ual and of social righteousness are beand to win.

Few of us have to stand for ‘rial upon charges of overt crime. Most of us, by the mercy of God, ere guilt- Jess of the sins which shock the senses. The defiling sins of the Christian in his home life are what we are likely to term the weaknesses of life, For you and for me, petty faults ere oftentimes the greatest sins. With us the proneness to say the unkind word; think the unwor- thy thought; to do the hard act or to speak the stern sentinient; to give the rein’ to anger or to Tet passion rule; these are the most detrimental and defiling sins. Many a mother who would give up life {itself for the child -7ho nestled at her breast; many a father who rot only would, but does, work long and weary h-urs for the loved ones of his home and hearth; many such a man and many such a ‘woman finds the love of those most dear to them !s lost and lost to them perhaps forever, because of un- Christian uncharltableness in the home. ._ “For me to live fs Christ,” you say. ‘But do you live the life? Are you thoughtiess of the rights of others? Are you self-centred rather than world loving? Are you heedless of ‘the needs of men? These are minor things in life; these are the trifles. But to the soul that {s growing up toward God, apd out toward men, and that is spreading roots through the eternities, they spell either fall- ure or success. As has been said, “success 1s made up of trifles .and success is no trifie.” ~ Selfishness, hastiness, inconsider- ateness, all these are the sins which weight the soul. For those of us who have laid our hearts at the feet of Christ, they are the sins which keep us from attainment unto spirit- ual perfection and the strength of the Saviour. They are the cancers which gnaw ct the vitals of the man spiritual, and which consume the very life's blood. Leaving behind these lesser sins we may grow into the stature of the Son of God. Put- ting meanness and pettiness behind us we may become like Him who was in all things pure. But only as we exclude the smallnesses of life from our natures do we grow. ~ But we must always remember that we have a duty to self as well as to society and to the Saviour. Here, again, duty to God presup- poses and implies -a right relation with self. We cannot be true to God and untrue to self. Right relations with God preclude an evil inner life. “To thine own self be true,” the poet sings, ‘and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” He might have said, with equal surety, that, loyalty to God precludes disloyalty to man and to self. ‘Trueness to self implies Christianly speaking, that the man is in harmony with man- kind and with God. Trueness to the highest and ho- lest motives and {deals that are within us brings greatest happiness and peace, Right thoughts produce and conserve a right life. High thinking is a tonic. Low thinking breeds disease. Cleanness of heart means clearness of head. To grovel spiritually is to declare one’s self to bea sloven mentally. We must keep ourselves purified of unwholesome- ness if we would attain the heights where holy men dwell. Education is not salvation. Knowl- edge is power and should induce pu- rity. But the pure in heart—mind you, not the strong in mental force —the pure in heart alone see God. The vile of soul are always in the depths of hell, and all the wisdom of all the-ages could not pull them out. A clean heart fits a man for life's labors. We cannot submit ourselves to the rule of our evil passions ff we would escape ruin. “Our bodies are good servants, but poor masters,” is an apt and a wise saying. The Christ was a power, hecause He had a healthy mind and a pure heart, To Him evil was hateful. For Him love was the law and the lght of the world. For God {s love. Jo be pure, to be géntle, to be no~ ble, to think kindly and to act wor- thily, to be right toward man and in the sight of God,.to be growing con- stantly into God-likeness, that 1s to be truly Christlike. And to those of us alone who are trying, as Chan- ning has said, “to Jet the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common,” who are liv- ing nearest to the source of all love and of all life, is {t given to say, with Re ee eee See ae, aKRneeD: MRaMmen we “I have noticed that when the green leaves have appeared, and have lifted themselves a little above the soil, it often happens that a bit of soil adheres to them and seem to weight them. But, as the plants go on growifg, they cast off these specks of earth and push on vallant- ly. Some of my seed must have been dead, for though they had abundant time for sprouting, they did not all appear; they lay there inertly amid the earth. “Which things have been a kind of a parable to me. Though the liv- ing seeds in their growing have car- ried on their leaves some of the soil as they grow they are flinging it off, while the dead seeds are help- less under the earth, A Christicn may be carrying some mean.and un- seemly earthliness. But if he be really athrill with the new life and growing, he will be quite sure to slough it off in time, Let me, be patient with him and give him a chance. God does. The hopeful fact is that he {s alive and growing. Dead seeds are powerless. So are dead souls."—Dr. Wayland Hoyt, The Footstool and the Watchtower.

A Bewildered Taxpayer. , An old negro, who has accumulated enough property to buy a small honié, entered the office of the list-takers to return his possessions for taxation, as all good citizens do. , Z “With what cognomen did your pa- ternal ancestor burden you?” asked List-taker Charlie Ritch, in a noncha- Jant manner, se - “Huh?” asked the taxpayer, and “What's your name?” was asked. “What's your longevity?” was the next question asked, and “Huh?” was again the responge. The old darky was doubtful whether or not he was possessed of any longevity. “Where do you hesitate, and what earthly possessions have you accumu- lated during your sofourn.on this ter- restrial globe?” inquired the list-tak- er, but he again had to explain to the bewildered negro, who then nery- ously mace his mark and hastily made «his departure,—Charlotte .Observer, FITS,8t.
