The militant Catholics seemingly hal! with enthuslasia the prospect of war- fare and the attendant excitement ef religions passions. ‘M. Jaures, the socialist leader, pro- tesses to believe that the vatican has deliberately decided to test the strength of the party of reaction in an attempt to overthrow the republic.

It was also charged that Mrs. Storer had meddled with French polities by taklug part in antt-republican {ttrigue to ryomote the marrlage of Victor Bonaparte with a member of the Orleantst family, . Both pf these charges Mr. Storer denles and, on the other hand, de- clares that the president's interest in the selection of Arohbishop Ireland as a cardinal’ was not due to Storer or to Storer's wife, but, to the, presl- dent alone, The text of Mr, Storer's letter was printed and transmitted not only to the president and his cabinet, but to members of the forelgn relations com- mittee of the senate.

A couch for the wood-wreeds' blossoming. A FAMILY J They had been married exactly six months; Nell was reminding her husband of the fact as she walked down to the garden gate with him. "Six months to-day, George, and we have never had the tiniest bit of a quarrel yet." "No, dearie, not even the tiniest bit of a quarrel," George echoed. "Do you remember the compact we made at first? When some one was chaffing about family jars, we decided never to have one at all? Hasn't it worked splendidly!" "Splendidly!" and Nell gave her husband's arm an affectionate little squeeze by way of leave-taking; and then she stood at the gate till a bend in the road hid him from view. She sang a merry snatch of song as she came up the garden path again. The morning sunshine fell lovingly on the tiny house and the small patch of ground which they glorified by the name garden, and Nell was tempted to linger among the pansies, till the thought of the pile of unwashed breakfast dishes sent her indoors with a sigh. Whilst tldying up she bethought herself that the special occasion warranted something special by the way of a dinner, and she went off in search of her favorite cookery-book. It was missing from its accustomed place, and she was just beginning to feel a little irritated by the fruitless search when she recollected that George had been rearranging the shelves of the bookcase, and it was just possible that he had put the volume away unthinkingly. And here it was, reporting snugly between a fat "Encyclopaedia" and smiled to herself as she slipped it from the shelf, and she stooped to pick up a piece of paper which had fluttered to the floor—evidently from the shelf, 100. She was crumpling it up in her hand preparatory to putting it in the stove, when she noticed her husband's handwriting on it. Almost unconsciously she smoothed out the sheea and read it: My Dearest Alice: Will you please pardon the presumption which bids me lift my pen again! I know that your pure womanly soul will shrink from anything like disloyalty or duplicity, but I pray you to have patience with me awhile, ere I try to show you that I am not wholly to blame for the hateful tangle which has ruined our lives. God knows, darling, that I have been the victim of cruel circumstances, and I dare scarcely dwell on the madening thought that never, till death comes to either one of us, shall the galling chain be broken. It is cruel now to talk of the might have been. Oh, Alice!—And here the writing ceased. Nell stood on the stair, locking before her with wide, unseeing eyes. George, her George, to have penned this "infamous epistle". She read it again, and the passionate words burned themselves into her brain and sang dizzily in her cars. It was incredulous, preposterous, she told herself, and yet here was the proof before her eyes, true and tangible in George's own beautiful writing. She sank down on the stairs, a limp heap of dejection. That she had not been the first, the only one, after all—that was the thought that hurt most. Everything else seemed to fade before this overwhelming possibility even the knowledge that her husband had broken faith with her; for Nell had loved deeply and passionately, and the hot, fierce jealousy with which such love is said to be seasoned was stinging her now with cruel intensity. Trifling things which she had scarcely seemed to notice came to her now full of startling moment. She persuaded herself that of late George had grown strangely mysterious in his dolines. Once or twice she had surprised him busily writing when she had expected him to be doing something else; and once—how bitterly came the remembrance of it!—she had awakened during the night to find that George was still downstairs at his desk, and when questioned he had flushed and muttered some unintelligible excuse. And this was the sort of thing that had kept him busy and preoccupied! Nell looked at the paper again. How blind she had been!—she who had thought that her husband could have no secret from her, she who had Across the hill, on the other side, A new road runs to the village rim; Its bed is graveled and hard and wide; No star-wreaths tangle along its brim. It travels on through the sun's hot light With naught of pausing to doze or No sieve it follows, to left or right— No luring dip to a shade-cool stream. And the old road idles its way alone, A vagrant, careless of long neglect; Witch-hazel threatened and bramble- grown. It sinks in a hazy retrospect. And inch by inch as the wild things creep Closer and thicker with web and skein, It laps into a placid sleep. A part, once more, of the wood's dom- ain. And wild sweet clover at last shall heal The scars long left by the wagon wheel, —Youth's Companion. prided herself on being able to read his inmost soul. And oh! the pity of it, this was their wedding-day. The remembrance of the morning, and George's bright face, brought a plea for his innocence, and she walked to the stove and held the note dangerously near to the dancing flames. But the one word "Alice" seemed to grow suddenly more distinct, and almost fiercely Nell's fingers clutched the paper again. She had a vague notion that she would show George the letter and demand an explanation, but as yet heart and brain were in too great a tumult; she could devise no plan of action. So she slipped the paper inside the folds of her blouse, and went about her household duties with a heavier heart than ever she had borne in all her young life. Somehow the weary hours dragged past; sometimes Nell was longing feverishly for her husband's return, and then the thought of this terrible thing made the red blood flush her cheeks, and she was fain to admit to herself that she was afraid to meet him. Afraid of George!—she laughed mirthlessly at the thought of it. But her hand involuntarily sought the letter in its resting-place, and once again came all the bitter thoughts that had been born of her misery. At length the garden gate clicked, and with a feeling, half of shame, half of assumed indifference, Nell picked up a magazine. It would serve to hide her crimson cheeks till she got calmer, and if she intended to be deep in a story, George should not mark the unusual want of greeting. But there were other footsteps on the gravel surely, and she could hear her husband laughing and talking with someone. Presently he ushered in a stranger, and Nell had to gather her scattered wits to give him a welcome. With a woman's want of logic she was telling herself that George might have chosen some more convenient season for bringing his friend, but it was with a sligh of relief that she took her seat at the head of the dainty table, for here, at least, she reflected, was an opportunity for putting off the evil hour. Always the soul of hospitality, Nell surpassed herself that evening, and George watched her with honest pride. He scarcely noticed that she was ignoring him in order to entertain Jack Haldane, and how could he know that the bright sayings and the ringing laughter were because her heart was sore. It was late when Jack Haldane rose to depart, and they both accompanied him to the gate. Nell had just been extending another early invitation to -him, and George was saying "Good-night," when Haldane said suddenly. "Oh, by the bye, George, I saw Alice yesterday, she was inquiring kindly for you—an old sweetheart of your husband's, Mrs. Douglas"; and he swang off down the road laughing gaily. Nell spoke first, when she had gained the shelter of the parlor. She stood on the rug and faced George with an angry spot burning on either cheek. "George Douglas," she said, in a level, strained voice, "what is the meaning of this?" George looked at her in wonderment, then enlightenment came. "It was too bad," he said, apologetically. "I should have given you warning that I was bringing a guest, but you got on all right, you know the dinner was splendid. I—I—" "The dinner!" said Nell, scornfully. "Who spoke of dinners? It is this woman I want to know about—this sweetheart." "Nell!" George was regarding her with an incredulous expression on his face. "Ah, you may well look surprised! You did not think that some day your secrets would be found out. You had better deny that this is the sort of thing you sit up at nights to write. I—I—" But Nell had collapsed on the couch, a disconsolate heap of misery; and George, with white, set face, was looking at the nose she had taken from her blouse. A, pucker gathered between his brows, and it was well that Nell did not see the stern expression of his face just then. There was silence for awhile, broken only by Nell's fitful sobs. George was so quiet that at length she grew frightened and, looking up, she ventured a feeble "Well?" Her husband did not look at her as he answered, he kept starling straight into the fire, but there was that in his voice which hurt her, more than the words he said. "Yes, Nell, this is what I have been sitting up to do. I can't think how I have been so careless to leave this lying about, for as you surmise, it is a secret from my wife. A week or two ago I was rummaging in that old desk Uncle Angus left, and I crane upon a bundle of old manuscripts which he had evidently written in his younger days. There was a bundle of love-letters among them, and from them I gathered an old romance, which partly explains the old man's lonely existence. In a spirit of idle curiosity I gathered the fragments together, wrote some bogus letters in answer to the faded, scented ones in the desk, changed the names, and read with infinite reilish one of the quaintest of old-world stories. I intended to show it to you, but Dickson, of the Elite Magazine, called one day when I was busy on it, and I allowed him to read it. He was delighted, said that there was a furore for such literature just now, and asked to be allowed to use it. I demurred at first, but in the end I gave it to him, thinking that the check I'm to get in return would buy a pretty birthday present for a little woman I know." "Oh, George, it's been such a day," and Nell-sobbed out the whole story of her misery and her penitence. And by and by she smiled through her tears as they went over the tangle of the evidence, and she quite forgot the hateful "Alice" whom Jack Haldane had mentioned, till George explained that she was the sister of his chum, and had been happily married for many a year. A fortnight later they read the proofs of George's story, and as Nell laughed and cried over the story of the old-world lovers, she vowed in heart that never again, as long as she had life, would she be tempted to distrust her husband.—London S.

In these days of increasing use of concrete for building purposes it is recalled that the Pantheon, in Rome, about two thousand years old, is covered by a dome over 142 feet in diameter, which is cast in concrete in one solid mass. The site of a spacious Roman villa in the Castle Park, Colchester, England, has been discovered in a remarkable way. The intense heat, acting upon the grass above the ruined foundations revealed an entire ground plan of the various rooms and passages. The largest and costliest building thus far undertaken In New York, the city of immense structures, is the magnificent $10,000,000 Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Dylne, now being erected on Morningside Heights. This will be the greatest sacred edifice in America, and the fourth in importance in the world. Pre-eminent among the skilled craftsmen of China, the carpenter still maintains the leadership. Though almost invariably wedded to the use of the tools of his ancestors and to their methods, judged by results he is more efficient in his line, says the Engineer-ing Magazine, than are the average of the foreign-trained fitters and machinists in theirs. Albert Ledoux of Southbridge, Mass, was saved from death recently by a simple splitting of a limb of a tree. As Ledoux was entering his yard a gust of wind struck a large elm tree right over him, tearing a huge limb of the tree and it started to fall directly on him. As it fell, however, it split in two in midair, part falling on each side of the lucky man. A picturesque figure will vanish from Paris through the municipal council's decision to abolish the office of "organizer of funeral pomp," at public funerals.

Nero Perry, an old Chickasaw freedman who lives on Caddo creek, in the Chickasaw nation, supports himself by hunting game with a bow and arrow. Though seventy-six years old, he can send an arrow into a squirrel in the tallest tree. Perry went to the Chickasaw country in 1838 from Mississippi with Jim McLish, his old master. They settled on the banks of the Caddo creek, where they built the first house ever erected in the Chickasaw nation. There they lived until 1861. when McLish died; then the old place reverted to Perry, and there he still lives.

THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLD WAR Ship With a Hundred Paddles. An entirely new idea in the propelling mechanism of vessels has been patented by a Massachusetts man.

This mechanism is located amidships in a vessel and below the keel, and consists of numerous paddles working in sprocket wheels. These paddles do not extend at each side of the vessel, but are located within the interior in pairs. To secure the greatest efficiency of propulsion, the paddles are set at an angle with the bottom of the boat, so that when they are doing service in the water their submerged portions will incline toward the bow of the vessel. This will tend to raise the bow as the vessel is propelled, the paddles leaving the water freely and with less tendency to retard the progress of the vessel as they leave the water. The great number of paddles engaging the water at the same time, the inventor claims, will give such constant and advantageous hold upon [Signature] 10 HOW COULD HE? the water that the propelling power is exerted to the greatest advantage and attainment of speed. At the noon hour a prominent Wall Street banker was hurrying out of his office when he suddenly stopped upon noticing a man across the street, and tipped his hat very respectfully. The man was carrying a sandwich board emblazoning the merits of a near-by quick-lunch parlor, and looked altogether seedy. A friend of the banker, who had observed the momentary performance, started to guy him. "Who's your friend?" he asked. "He is a man I have considerable respect for," was the reply. "He was once a prosperous citizen down here, and worth several hundred thousand. He lost everything, and finally had to come to this. Even the best of us are liable to go the same way, you know, and that is why I am not afraid to be respectful to a once brilliant man."—New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch. Analyses of weapons and tools, dating from very ancient times in Egypt, have convolved the American members of the Anglo-Egyptian Archaeological Expedition that the old Egyptians used pure copper in the manufacture of such objects. They displayed much ingenuity in manipulating that metal. A chisel was made by folding thin strips of copper over one another and then forging them into a solid blade, while hollow needles were formed from copperleaf by a method very similar to that employed at the present day in making hellacal tubing for bicycles and automobiles. The Proper Editorial Spirit. The Connecticut Valley Advertiser says: "We want all the legitimate local news, and to learn all the good that can be said of your neighbor, but if you want to give him a 'rub' or 'roast,' please attach your name to the communication and—we'll hand it to him."

Fill hot water bags through a funnel. else the hot water collecting around the nozzle or mouth will rot the rubber at that point. Lamps and Dust. When your lamps are filled and cleaned for the day invert (or turn upside down) clean paper bags over chimneys, which will protect both chimneys and burners from dust. To Keep Farms. Cut maldenhair fern will keep in water if the stalks are put into a jug of boiling water and then allowed to stand till cold. After this arrange the fern with flowers in the usual way. Carpet Economy. Save all the raveling from carpets to darn thin places. Spots should be removed from rugs and carpets at once, as they are more difficult to take out after dust has settled in them. Cooling the Oven To cool an oven while baking keep the door shut, put in the damper of the oven flue, and if the oven is still too hot remove one of the rings of the hot plate. This will reduce the temperature quickly without admitting cold air to the oven. The Cleansing Potato. It is not generally known that the potato possesses great cleaning properties. Cold potatoes, when used instead of soap, clean the hands well and keep the skin soft. The water in which potatoes have been boiled is excellent for sponging out dirt from silk. To Solder Tin Pans Holes in tin pans and kettles may be very easily mended at home by any woman with the aid of a candle and a special solder that comes in the form of a hollow wire filled with powdered rosin. Hold the utensil so that the candle flame is directly underneath the hole, after a few seconds touch the solder lightly to the spot, and a drop will immediately melt off, filling the aperture. Make Your Brushes Many housewives are' fussy, and justly so, about their brushes. A brand new dust brush will be confiscated by the maid for use around the range, where it is intended for the stairways. It is a good plan to mark them all. This is best done by sticking the end of a poker in the hot coals and burning the backs of the brushes with initials—S. for sink, H. for hearth, and so on. Fish Recipes.

Hurd, were painfully shocked to have heard of the sudden death of the latter, at their home at Beach Institute early Tuesday night. Mrs. Hurd was in apparently good health and at the time preceding her death, she was cheerful as ever. The cause of her death was appoplexy, the attack of which lasted but a few minutes. Prof. Hurd left with the remains on Wednesday afternoon for Florence, Mass, where the funeral will take place Mrs Hurd had a cheerful and lovable disposition and made friends with all whom she came in contact. During the terms of the several years spent in the city she endeared herself to those she met. She was fully interested in the work of the Beach and has done much good in alleviating the wants of many and cheering the sick among the students and others whom she took delight in visiting. Mrs. Hurd was unselfish in her ways and deyoted to acts of kindness. She was especially beloved by scholars of the Beach and the members of the First Congregational Church, along with others.

The Reman brides Wore yellow, and in the most Eastern countries pink is the bridal color. During the middle ages the renaissance brides wore crimson, and most of our Plantagenet and Tudor Queens were married in this vivid hue, which 1s still popular In parts of Brittany, where the bride is usually dressed in erlmson brocade. It was Mary Stuart who first changed the color of bridal garments. At her marriage with Francis 11. of France, in 1553— which took place not before the altar but before the great doors of Netre Dame—she was gowned in white brocade, with a train of pale blue Persian velvet six yards in length, This Innovation caused quite a stin in the fashion world at tiat time. It was not, however, till quite the end of the seventeenth century that pure white—the color hitherto worn by royal French widows—became popu- lar for bridal garments in England — Church Electic. Through my acquaintace with the apostle’s daughter [met one of the Young boys, and we forthwith fell in love. The meetings were not as fre- quent as our ardent passion craved, for he went to the Mormon school, while gentilec hildren attended the schools of Bpiscopal, Methodist or whatever church the parents Were identified with. The ministers of the different churches were called “pro- fessors” during the week and secular ¢lass rooms were used for Sunday school as well. Unable to meet often, we decided to intrust our messages to Uncle Sam, and the course of true love might have run on and finally en- listed me ina regiment of Mrs. Youngs but for the intervention of-fate. Hav- ing no stamp for my billet donx, and having squandered my last nickel in riotous peppermint lozenges, I resorted to the waste paper basket and found what seemed to me a petfectly good stamp.

That diminutive Empire bolero used since early spring is seen again on the costliest evening gowns. The Empire fashions are a boon to the long-waisted girl. One sees them ja gowns, in evening coats, and even in the short suit coats. In house gowns of all classes, the Jacket effect figures as the most used bodice garnishment. It's often, to be sure, only the merest semblance.

Pree Ceres RRS A) ee a em est to property owners, particularl in view of the gréat activity in th near-by sections of Long Island, wit their vast low-lying tracts walting to be made productive. Experiment: haye ben made by the Long Islan¢ railroad on barren tracts near Wad ding River, L. I, and reclamatior work is in progress at various othe1 “points, but this undertaking in Con necticut is important as showing cs pecially what ean be done In the re claiming of eaft meadow and making ft available for farming and market gardening. Between Bridgeport and Stratford, on the Somid shere, is a tract of 1009 acres crossed by small creeks and covered wih a rank growth of salt grass, In tne past this grass has been gathered and has found a_mar- Ket of indifferent character, being used for packing and bedding. + It brought only $$ a ton, and on that basis barely paid for the work of ‘gatiiering it, About a year ago the Work of re- claiming an area of ten acres was wn. dertaken under the direction of E. J. Holister, who was the organizer and is now, the general adviser of the Win- ona Agricultural Institnte at Winon, Take, Iad., and who has supervised reclamation projects at many places in Gie United States and Canada. One of itis more recent uniertakings {9 this part of the country resulted in converting a large tract of lowland and, bozs at Locust Valley, 1. 1, into an attractive part of W. D. Guthrie's estate at that place. Immediately in charge of the work near Bridgeport is Frank R. Sammis, representing the Stratford Land and Improvement com- pany, The results of the first season's ef- forts have been highiy encouraging, so that Mr. Hollister feels justified in predicting that this’ practically, worthless tract ean be made to yield annually hay, or “tame grass,” as he calls it, worth at least $45 an acre, with a certain increase of this amount to $100 an acre after the soll has been more thoroughly treated and made suitable for planting other crops such as sweet corn, celery and aspar- agus. ‘ The work of reclaiming land of this sect divides itself into two branches —first, ie keeping out of tidewater and later the bringing about of the necessary changes in the chemical makeup of the soil so that it will support various forms of plant life. The tide fs kept out by the con- struction of dykes, and any remalin- ing water carried off in drains. Ow- ing ta the exclusion of the salt water, the meadow land natarally begins to “sweeten” Itself—a process which Is also hastened by rains, when they do’ not have to contend against the fiqod- ing of the tract by tidewater twice dally. + The meadow Is then thoroughiy | plowed and the ‘doctoring of the soil begun. Iime is introduced te com- plete the work of counteracting the salt, the necessary quantity of course varying In different localities, The disintegration of the soll also adds to its capacity for retaining water and absorbing oxygen, |! “A salt meadow is a good deal like | a piece of corned beef,” said Mr, Hol-| lister yesterday in discussing hts work, “and almost the same thing hap- pens to it when the tide is kept out | as happens to a plece of corned beet | IC it ts kept out of Its tub of brine.

Valuable Results From Selection. Improvement by selection has made the live stock of this country more valuable, It wag once supposed that a three-minute gait in trotting was very fast, and the four-mile running horses barely accomplished the distance in eight minutes.

Sweet Corn For Fattening Hogs. One of the best crops that can be grown for fattening hogs is sweet corn, at least where early fall killing 4s desired and it can be fed in the green or doughy state. Early varieties can be planted three feet apart each way, whieh will insure as many or more bushels per acre than common field corn and its richness of sweet and juice render it more palatable, di- gestible aad profitable to the hog fam- ily. Many farmers have stumbled onto the fact of the great superiority of sweet corn for fattening hogs hy feed- ing up the cull stuff sorted from the corn that was raised for seed.

Myers, Jr., Byhalia, Miss. Sheep Are Good Property. It looks now like sheep, as well as corn, will remain at a good price for years, and a flock on the farm is pro- fitable* over and above receipts for wool, and mutton in the lamb in- crease, Wallace's Farmer advices the Keeping of a flock of 50 on an $0 acre farm, or 100 on 160 acres, and now that sheef are up in frices to start with twenty-five ewes and a pure bred buck, and thus grow the flock, and adds: The time is ripe, or nearly ripe, for the introduction of a flock on every farm. Farmers are now coming to the point when they can fence and cross fence their farms with woven wire, thus enabling them to feed their sheep -over the' whole farm instead of confin- ing them to a permanent pasture. The permanent pasture very soon becomes sheep-sick, and the farmer becomes discouraged. However, with sheep- tight fences he'ean use his sheep on the stubble fields or on the aftermath of the meadows, ani he can fatten his lambs in the corn field to the benefit both of the lambs and corn field. There is more money for the amount invested in shcep than in any other kind of live stock we know of. Sheep are high now; the probability fs that they will continue high. Sheep may be lower than they are now—probably will be—but we do not expect to live long enough to see sheep sell at the low price prevalent ten years ago. Even then, however, they were profitable. We will never have clean farms until we introduce sheep hus- bandry. With the exception of this- tles, mullen and cockleburs Jn their mature stage, sheep will eat every kind of weed that we know of on the farm, and profit by the eating of it, A properly fenced farm with a hun- dred sheep will never be badly infested with weeds. Therefore, once more wo say, keep a few sheep. Don't buy many, for two reasons: They are bigh now, and the sheep business is one that must be learned—not from books or papers, but from actual experience in keeping sheep. A flock of twenty- five will increase faster than’ the aver- age man’s knowledge of how to keep them. Farm and Garden Notes.

I also to be ready to stand firm and Brooklyn, N. Y.—Prcaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Jesus Christ," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor took as his text John 1:14: "And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us." He said: The character and career of Jesus Christ are the ground of human hope and the basis of mankind's belief in His power as the Saviour. His life, as the evidence of the sincerity of His speech, is the source of His success. The outward action of our Master is the signal and the surety of His inward healthfulness of heart. In His life, precept and practice were at coincidence. With Him thought and deed always were concurrent. His words conveyed His real intentions and His innermost -ideals. His language was to lead men unto eternal life and was never used to conceal a wicked thought. Preaching a gospel of light unto the salvation of the world and proclaiming His personal sufficiency as the Saviour of mankind from sin, Jesus Christ talked truth, walked true, died on Calvary, in devotion to His-divine commission, unto the saving of the souls of sinners. The life of Jesus is remarkable, not only as it reveals His oneness with divinity, but also as it shows to us what qualities of manhood are potent for a real success. Tackling the mightiest problem in the world the Christ exemplifies what are the means that we should use to win success in all our lesser strife. He teaches us a lesson that should count for much in all our daily doings; which should make us forceful factors which shall lead men up to God; which should push us ever nearer to His holiness and grace. The life and the death, i. e., the career of Jesus Christ, reveal to us four divine qualities of character that every man should possess. In His downright eagerness; in His fiery intenseness; in His clear cut, sharp directness; and in His faithfulness to the truth and to His trust, the Friend of humanity leads every man successward, if he will to go. The earnestness of Jesus Christ is a secret of His power. Tendering to men a surety of eternal life, He did not fool their time or His own way. Professing a pledge of upliftment from the depth of sin, He held His word in serious regard. The salvation of the world was not more child's play, but a 'whole man's', yea, the God-man's, labor. The need was for a man who was dead in earnest. Such a man was the Chris. Earnestness made Christ a winner. Clearness of vision as to His mission would have been of none effect had the Christ been weak of will. Love for men and loyalty to His Father made strong demand for earnestness. The pluck and the push of the Master secured the consummation of His purpose. Irresolution would have merited defeat, and it would have gained our Lord oblivion. Lack of zeal would have lost the Christ to history. But for His earnestness and determination the story of His virtues never would have reached our ears. Earnestness or Je Christ push the fight into the country of the enemy; courage and resolution won Him fame and secured Him in His place of glory in the Father's home. With a fiery intenseness, Jesus battled for the souls of men. His was no lukwarm, milk and water, blow hot and blow cold, half-hearted enthusiasm. The Christ was always ardent. His spirit never cooled, but was ever at a rich, white-heat. His was enthusiasm compounded. Believing, as He did, that the happiness of the human soul are the main concerns of human life, our Lord had ever a zeal that was glowing. Trusting in the power of divine aid and knowing the need of the human race to be saved from sin, Jesus Christ was as full of earnestness as He was of grace and truth. Grace is good; truth is a talisman of might, but grace and truth need grit and fire ere they do their greatest work. Iron is a mineral of worth, but for battle give me tempered steel. Men of muscle are goodly to the sight, but for action send me out the man of courage and the souls who want to win. But with all His earnestness and intenseness the Saviour made unerring aim. Directness was not the least of His commendable traits. The need was for good marksmanship and a sure sight. Sin was at the centre of the world's distress and to hit the middle of the target was the mission of the Christ. Jesus never minced matters when He dealt with sin. Without care for the consequences and with no circumlocution our Lord, let loose His flaming wrath upon the works and the workers, of iniquity. His was no uncertain, wavering voice. The fear of the outcome of His fierce denunciation of spiritual and moral lawlessness was foreign to His heart. Clear, sharp, with an incisiveness that cut to the very core of the matter. He stated the fundamental propositions of the Kingdom of our God and then made His enemies admit the power of His points. His was no halting, thin-toned statement of eternal virtues. Feeling within the deepest recess of His heart that sin was the cause of man's suffering and knowing that: re-birth was necessary to a full salvation, the Master sent forth those firm, direct and forceful messages that have been the object of the curses of a few and the hope and inspiration of a mighty and unnumbered host who do honor to His name. To supplement His earnestness and pennning directness Jesus added surpassing faithfulness. Faithfulness is but a simile for steadfastness. To be faithful is to have a cordial certainty that the right must win aid also to be ready to stand firm and valiant for the truth until rightcousness shall prevail. The Christ was pre-eminently faithful. His was the incorruptible devotion to the demands of duty which should be the ideal of us all. To Him we must turn do we wish to see the ideality of service. From Him must we learn would we get the wisdom that shall gain us our ambition's goal. Sitting at the feet of the Master do we enter into knowledge of a fine fidelity which commands respect. Earnestness, intenseness, directness, faithfulness—these are the four words that point the lesson for us now. To Christians and to the Christless souls of the universe of God, the Saviour is the interpreter of the salient qualities that are necessary for a life's successes. He it is who illustrates and objectifies for us what our lives should be. The need for these cardinal virtues was never more evident or well voiced than in this day. In the world of business they are no less needed than in those religious spheres where moral and spiritual verities are uppermost. The necessity for the exercise of these qualities that make for manly might is everywhere apparent. To the man who would attain business predominance and commercial power they are invaluable and indispensable. Deduct the moral criminality which has made possible the success of many of the industrial and financial leaders of our day and the fact that their influence is largely based upon indomitable pluck and energy and dutifulness still outstands all else. Backbone and push have been the reason for the rapidity in advancement of a throng. A clean bull's eye gains applause for the man with the hand and the true sight. Directness brings to a man the confidence of the crowd. Half-heated, poorly-fired, swaying, swerving, irresolute men without sense or sand enough to be true to anything for any considerable length of time never reach the top, never attain, never are lifted to a place of power. The world has small use for mongl weaklings or men without spunk and grit, at the front. These characteristics which we have denominated as among the distinguishing features in the Christ's career are most essential, however, to the man who would reach the highest usefulness and be most a blessing in the world. Needful as these qualities may be to those who would be famed for physical and material achievement they are still more requisite for those who desire spiritual graces. Especially are they compulsory and mandatory for those who have not acknowledged Christ and would wish to call Him Lord. The soul's restoration depends entirely upon the willingness of the sinner to seek salvation earnest and in faith. Spiritual baptism is the gift of the Father to those only who come straight to the point. Excuses and attempts at palliation of our personal guilt merely delay the crisis. Extenuation and mitigation are of none avail. Decisive and conclusive yielding of the heart to the Master is the one concession that will bring a spiritual surcase from the woe of a wicked life. Earnest endeavor to be faithful to the trust of the Christian Sonship gives growth and greatness in the spiritual life. These gospels from the life of our Lord have special bearing upon the activities of the church. The church of Christ is not so carnest, not so intense, not so faithful, as she should be in the spreading of the seed of salvation. The church has lessened her directness too much in her attacks upon the strongholds of sin. We have been content with mediocrity while the devil has gained ascendance. The church, to be the agent for godliness that she is called upon to be, must get down to business. Half-heartedness puts the flag of the Christ at half-mast. We must nail our colors at the top and keep them there. Directness demands clean-cut, unwavering work done with faithfulness, fidelity and with honing hearts. The church, each of us and all of us together, must cease to be satisfied with poor work or none. The salvation of our own souls and the procuring of temporal and eternal blessings for ourselves is not enough. Are we to attain success, as an organization, in the spiritual work that counts, we must be all on fire with the desire to save men's souls, and to bring happiness to their hearts and lives while here. Lack of zeal will condemn us as unworthy. Feeble fire proves realiness. A poor aim lays us open to the enemy's assaults. Unfaithfulness is unworthy of us and will meet the condemnation of our God. Celestial Investments. Everyone who is so happy as to get to heaven will have in God's presence "fullness of joy" and at His right hand "pleasures for evermore," but that does not say that they will all have joys and pleasures allure. A pint cup may be full to overflowing. A quart cup may be full to overflowing. But the quart cup holds more. The Bible makes it very plain that there will be differences among the redeemed. Some will be saved "so as by fire." It speaks of "greatest" and "least" in the kingdom of heaven, and of some as having an "abundant entrance," and distinctly tells us to "lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven," thereby assuring us that it is both possible and worth our while to do so.—Rev.

Has Not Been Seen Since 1835, and Will Not Be Seen Again Till Latter Part of Twentieth Century. The most famous of all comets, though not the largest and most brilliant, will again be visible in 1910. This is Halley's comet, so called from its identification by the great astronomer who was the friend of Sir Isaac Newton. Halley's investigations of astronomical records led him to assert that the comet which he had observed in 1682 had appeared in 1531 and 1607, and to predict its reappearance in 1759. The fulfillment of his prophecy excited the most, intense scientific interest and established beyond doubt the periodicity of comets and their movements in orbits determined by the law of gravitation. Its last appearance was in 1835, its period varying between seventy-five and seventy-six years years on account of the perturbing attractions ed Jupiter and Saturn in certain parts of its orbit. It was by that time possible to calculate its movements with much greater accuracy than before that it made its perihelion passage within four days of the predicted date. It was not then a very grand object to the naked eye, but the light of its nucleus surpassed that of second magnitude stars and was comparable with that of Aldebaran and Antares. Its tall, while the comet was approaching the sun, attained to a length of 20 degrees. —Leslie's Weekly. The real work in plowing is done by the mule, but a man gets all the credit for it.

Let the officers reflect the worth of Masonry. As soon as your lodge elects its officers, send to the Grand Master at Atlanta and the Grand Secretary at Savannah the names of the W. M. and Secretary, with postoffice addresses of each one. Do this whether you have a blank or not. Past Master Wells of Eastern Light was the first officer to report to this office the election of officers with addresses. All honor to him. Past Master Willis of Durna Lodge comes next. We remember that Brother Willis was the first to render his Grand Lodge report. These brethren are to be commended for their promptness and all of the lodges should do likewise. There is no reason why these reports cannot all be rendered before January 1st. Do not wait for a blank, but send in your report anyhow. Bro. E. B. Cooper has been elected as W. M. of St. George Lodge at Stillmore. The members of St. George are to be commended for their selection, for Brother Cooper is a straight-forward citizen and a model Mason. He was in to see us on Tuesday. Worshipful Master Hubbard of Pelham reports his lodge as progressing excellently. Let every lodge in the jurisdiction observe St. John's day in some becoming manner. Pythogras Lodge, No. 11, has honored itself by re-electing Brother Petty as its Worshipful Master. Brother Petty is an energetic officer and has done much for the upbuilding of his lodge and the order. Pythogras is one of the best lodges in the state and has an excellent class of members, with Bro. F. M. Cohen as S. W.; Rev. S. P. Redd as J. W.; Bro. E. B. Roberts, Jr., as Secretary; Bro. J. H. Hoolser as Treasurer, and the other officers and members. The lodge will surely succeed. The ladies of the Eastern Star Chapter throughout the state are looking after their elections. They, too, must only elect the best material. The Eastern Star is making rapid strides. At nearly every large lodge where there is not a chapter one is being "worked" up. Grand High Priest Jesse Robinson of Macon has sent out a proclamation to each Royal Arch chapter in the state asking for hearty co-operation in the work of the chapter. Brother Robinson is the first Grand High Priest in the state and should be given hearty support. We are fully interested in the working of the Royal Arch and commend to the chapters the proclamation of the Grand High Priest and hope that the work during the year will grow to a great extent. 02 Tuesday night last Eureka Lodge, No. 1, gave the final series of entertainments for the purpose of raising means to help assist the widows during the holidays. The relief committee secured a neat sum, which will be fully applied to all deserving widows. This work of good cheer especially during the holidays is commended to each lodge in the jutsisdiction. There is glory in being a man, in all the true senses of manliness; glory in well exemplifying Masonic and Knightly manhood, and glory in so living that the epitaph must be: "He was a man—Great and Goods Loving God he greatly loved his Fellowmen." Wealth may flow in streams to such a man, yet he will, not swell with pride, nor scorn the humblest of his fellows. Honors may come unsought, titles unwished may be conferred by loving friends and brethren, but they will beget no vanity, and, when the insignia of office is laid aside there will not be manifest any of the spirit of eminent, or most eminent, superiority over him who has done his Masonic duty but has not received titles or jewels. The Man, in the true and noble sense, is what Freemasonry regards, and "Great and Good Man" is the highest honor and title that Freemasonry can bestow. From time immemorial the women have had to bear the odium of gossip and scandal: mongers. We wish the protest against this false accusation. If any one can and will defend the honor of home it is a woman, and it matters not whether that home or honor be her home or another's. The real character assassin is generally a man, and often he is too big a coward to do his dirty work openly and boldly, but with winks, nods, and inquiries thrusts the dagger deep into the unsuspected. It matters not whom they are, if they stand its way to petty persever, or so close position, or it may be the result of the promptings of a vile insult that cooses from him like the poison of the dismal swamp. Such men can be found in the church, in Masonry, in every walk of life. The teachings of an institution, however sacred, cannot change him. Like the hog he returns to his wallow and glories in his defilement. No, in that which is mean and dishonorable, man takes precedent over woman. STATESBORO DOTS.

Well, our fair is over, but you can continue buying shares for the next fair. So come out to our next meeting. MESHACK HODGES, Representative. FLORA BATSON DEAD Miss Flora Batson, known on the concert stage as the Queen of Song, died suddenly on Saturday, December 1, of urcuma. Although only about 35 years old, she had acquired considerable renown as a singer, not only in this country, but in Europe. When quite young she sang for Queen Victoria, who, with her own hands, presented her with a silk Union Jewel. Her Majesty, after the young girl had sung "The Last Rose of Summer," said; "My child, you are truly a graduate of that institution presided over by Almighty God and from which have no drone has ever issued. God bless you in your sweet mission of song." Miss Batson sang also for Pope Leo, the Czar of Russia and at the Italian and German courts. She was born in Washington, D. C. When a child her parents moved to Providence, R. I. At the age of nine she sang in a church choir in that city, and the marvelous range and quality of her voice soon attracted attention. Under the best teachers in this country she was prepared for the concert stage, which she followed with great success almost up to the day of her death. THE NEGRO IS NOT INFERIOR: Lanier, Ga., Dec. 8, 1906. Please allow me space in your wide-spread columns to say a word. Responding to the announcement of Mr. Goodwin's belief of the fore-ordination of the Negro being inferior, creation in the editorial column of The Tribune on December 14. If Mr Goodwin will read the tenth chapter and the 34th and 35th verses of the Acts of the Apostles, which reads thus: "Then Peter opened his mouth and sald, 'of a truth I percieve that God is no respector of persons; but in every nation he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him, the word which God sent unto the children of Israel preaching peace by Jesus Christ.'" (He is: Lord of all). Now, Mr. Editor, I suggest that another occupation would be more beneficial to Mr. Goodwin, and, of course, a man preaching the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ cannot afford to spend their time on such prattle trying to prove it true. If Mr. Goodwin would take a deeper consideration over the matter he would precede before these ministers, who he has asked to assist him in proving that God intentionally made the Negro an inferior being to any race, and instead ask them to assist him in proving out something more essential to eternal life or our earthly welfare trying to make peace with all mankind. I would like to say to Mr. Goodwin that the Bible is not only teaching us how to get to heaven, but one of the very fundamental principles of the Bible is intended to teach mankind how to live agrigably here on earth together. No individual is responsible for his being here and no race is responsible for their color. But we are all the handwork of God. Therefore, the Fatherhood of God exemplifies the brotherhood of man, and except we love one another as God has so intended as we would be done by we shall never be accepted with Him. Now, since God has formed us all of the dust of the earth and called us man, what else can we see but a man who is a man, regardless of color, and the Negro has shown in the past forty years that he can be taught and trained for any profession and pursuit in life. No other race has ever accomplished what the Negro has in the same length of time and under the same circumstances, with enemies' on every side trying to impede his progress. Yours for peace with all mankind, CHAS. H. STEWART. BULLET FATAL TO BROWN. Former Utah Senator, Who Was Shot by Mrs. Bradley, Succumbs to Wounds in Washington. Former United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, who was shot in his apartments in a hotel in Washington, December 8th, by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley of Salt Lake City, died at midnight Wednesday night at the Emergency hospital. Mrs. Bradley will now be arraigned on the charge of murder. Her attorneys will set up the defense that she was justified under the "unwritten law", in shooting Mr. Brown Mr Brown's life was prolonged for several hours by the injection of a salt solution, and by administering oxygen. Mr. Charles White, superintendent at the hospital, declared that the case was one of the most remarkable that had ever come under his observation. Death was due to complications brought on by kidney trouble and not to poison as a result of the wound. The shock of the bullet wound, however, had aggravated the affections of the kidneys until these organs refused to perform their functions. One of the assistant district attorneys made an effort to secure an ante-mortem statement, but Senator Brown refused to talk. Max Brown and Miss Alice Brown of Columbus, Ohio, the former's senator's son and daughter, were at the bedside when he expired. Mrs. Bradley is on the verge of collapse and her physicians say that it may be several days before she will be able to appear in court. She will be transferred from the house of detention to a cell in the district jail. The prisoner refused to pose for a photograph when the police photographer called at the house of detention. Mrs. Anna C Adams, mother of Maude Adams, the actress, was notified of Senator Brown's death by Dr. White. She will accompany the body to Salt Lake City. Mrs. Adams' name has been brought into the case in connection with letters which she wrote Brown, and which were found in the possession of Mrs. Bradley when she was arrested. The former senator's son says Mrs. Adams has long been a friend of the family. WAS INTRODUCED BY REQUEST. Moody Placates Democratic Senators. Nomination Confirmed. The senate, Wednesday, confirmed the nomination of William H. Moody of Massachusetts as justice of the supreme court of the United States. The democratic minority was lined up unitedly in objection to him, and the debate over his nomination occupied several hours. The opposition was not broken until a letter from Mr. Moody was read, in which he declared that the notorious lynching bill introduced by him while a member of the house in 1901, was introduced by request. JEROME IN A NEW ROLE. New York District Attorney Assists Police in Gambling Raid. Led by District Attorney Jerome, Wednesday night, the police raided an alleged gambling house in Elgheteenth street and arrested 144 men, who were charged with having refused to aid the police when a felony was being committed. The new tactics of the district attorney were a great surprise, not only to the prisoners, but also the lawyers and bondmen, who flocked to the station. CORPSES WERE TIED TOGETHER. Father and Little Son Went to Death in Flood Not Divided. With the body of his five-year-old boy firmly tied to his own, the remains of Charles Headrick were recovered Wednesday from the Hiawasse river, one and a half miles below McCoys, Tenn. Headrick and his boy were drowned on the night of November 18. A sudden flood caught them within a small house near the river bank, and escape was entirely cut off. NO FREAK SPELLING Will Be Allowed in Official Government Documents. HOUSE GOES ON RECORD By Decisive Vote of 142 to 25 Members Put Pet Hobby of Roosevelt Under Ban—Debate Mirth Provoking. A Washington special says: The house of representatives Wednesday went on record in opposition to the new spelling as recommended by the president. By a ovte of 142 to 25 the following was adopted as a substitute to the item reported by the appropriations committee on the legislative, executive judicial appropriation bill. "No money appropriated in this act shall be used in connection with printing documents, authorized by law or ordered by congress or either branch thereof unless the same shall conform to the orthography recognized and used generally in accepted dictionaries of the English language." For hours during the session the debate on simplified spelling held the attention of the house and a score or more members took part in the discussion. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana, made a point of order against the original paragraph in the bill which provided that public documents should be spelled as Webster's or other generally accepted dictionaries spells them. Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania, in charge of the bill, then offered the amendment, which was adopted. During the discussion Mr. Suillyan of Massachusetts remarked that if the president, by "imperial ukase," could change the spelling of 200 words of the English language he would have the authority to change 30,000 words, or every word in our language. If this could be done, he thought a new court language might be established by executive decree for the American empire. "We got along very well with the English language until the reign of the present president of the United States," said Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana said the house was not responsible for an order of the executive on the question of simplified spelling. He was of the opinion that legislation would retard progress and reform in spelling. Mr. Lacey of Iowa asked Mr. Crumpacker if the thought the public printer would have the discretion to spell the word 'Crumpacker" with a "K." and Mr. Crumpacker replied that he thought he would. Representative Grosvenor of Ohio wanted to know what existing law the paragraph changed, and insisted that there was no law as to spelling except as to the commonly accepted way. While Mr. Grosvenor was discussing the amendment, Mr Towne of New York asked him whether the item referred to was not "on page 23, beginning with the line 23?" "Yes, I believe so," replied Mr. Grosvenor. "Then, is that not a double skidoo, and if so, does it not of necessity go out?" "Oh, that's an old story!" replied Mr. Grosvenor, amid laughter. The great confusion resulting from the government's double standard of spelling has made it necessary for the joint committee on printing to take immediate action, and Senator Platt and Representative Landis of the committee are at work on a resolution designed to strengthen the tangle at once. Even if the house and senate both pass the legislative bill, with a clause declaring for old fashioned spelling, the measure will not become effective until the beginning of the new year and meantime there would be no well defined policy as to spelling. WILL IT EVER BE PAID? Sugar Refining and Cooperage Companies Fined $150,000 for Rebating. Flies aggregating $150,000 were imposed by Judge Holt in the United States circuit court in New York Tuesday upon the American Sugar Refining company and the Brooklyn Cooperage company, after the defendants had pleaded guilty to indictments charging acceptance of rebates on sugar shipments. The sugar refining company was fined $80,000 and the cooperage company $70,000. GUILTY PARTIES NOT LOCATED. Macon Grand Jury Reports on Jall Storming and Street Car Strike. In the presentments for the present term of the superior court, the grand jury at Macon, Ga., whose duty was to investigate the mob that stormed the Bibb county jail early in October and the lawlessness in connection with the street car strike, reported to Judge Felton Monday morning that they had fallen to locate the guilty parties in both instances.
