“THE WORLD MOVES.’
True. The devil has had a hand iu
many of its movements from the very be
ginning.
When there were but two human beings
in existence, a man and woman, he plied
his motive power and started the woman
away from G id. She was beguiled and
“did eat. She gate also to her husband,
and he did eat ” “The woman, being de
ceived, was in the transgression.”
The devil started the world of woman
hood away from God, and that started the
world of manhood in the same direction,
aud so they have been moving ever since.
Satan has bis band upon “the world of
wealth,” and is moving it in bis interests
He has his band upon “the world of pow
er," and is moving it in his interests. He
bas bis band upon “the world of office,*'
and is moving it in his interests. He bas
his hand upon “the world of population,
and is moving it in his interests.
Moving with the world is moving away
from Goa. Moviug against the world is
moving toward God.
Whatever movement leads women and
men awfty from the Bible, is moving them
with the world, and against God. Moving
from God and His word is death. Moving
toward God and bis word is life.
What “the world” needs is to have its
movement reversed. It needs to be con
verted, that is, turned away from the dev.
11, and obedience to his lusts, to God, and
obedieuce to His word.
“To the law a’d the testimony; if they
speak not according to this world, it is be

IN GREAT DANGER.
There are persons within the limits of
every Christian congregation who are in
greater danger than they seem to be, and
for whom there is not so much solicitude
on the part of their Christian friends as
there should be. They are not immoral
or wicked people. They are not profane,
or intemperate, or dishonest. Many of
them are educated and intelligent, amia«
ble, lovely, and companionable, kind, gen
erous, and benevolent. They lack but one
thing, Tney have never been born again.
They are not the children of God by faith.
Tuey may have a hops, but it is not the
sure and steadfast hope of the true believ
er.
These persons Rre sinners, unconverted
sinners; they are under condemnation ;
‘ eving not the Son of God, the wrath of
leth on them. Remaining in their
I condition with all their Scriptural
sd all the morality, and all
traits of character, they
must be lost. “He that believctb on the
Son hath everlasting life; sod he that be-
iievetbnot the Son shall not see life; but
the wrath of God abidetb on him.”
Many persons of this character and in
this condition make the mistake of sup
posing that because they are not profane
or intemperate or impair, therefore they
will not have their part with liars, idols
ters, and murderers. But it ought to be
understood by all that no one is saved be
cause he is not wicked and immoral, but
because he believes on the Son of God.
| All human merit goes for nothing in the
salvation of the sonl. “Byj grace are ye
saved, through faith, and that not of your
selves, it is the gift of God, If men were
saved on the ground of their own right
eousness instead of through the righteous
ness of Christ, then parity, honesty, tem
persnee, and all other natural graces
would be of value as entitling them to sal
vation.
Men do not need to become gnilty of
gross immorality to fall under the divine
displeasuie. “He that believeth not the
Son is condemned already ” “How shall
we escape If we neglect so great salvation?’
A man may pass through the world lead
ing a quiet and peaceful lire; may attend
more or less regularly upon the ordinan
ces of religion; may be scrupulously exact
and honorable in ali business transactions;
may be kind sod affectionate toward his
family; may be a liberal giver to the
causes of charity and religion, and yet
neglecting salvation, neglecting to seek
ana secure a personal interest in Christ as
his Saviour, be cancot;scape the doom of
the finslly impenitent and unbelieving.

If the farmer is growing^omatoes for

VACAT10N DAYS.
The school-bell rings with cheerful sound,
To bssten the slow, late comer;
“To-morrow we’ll play,”
It seems to say.
“Hurrah for the fiist vacation day!
Hurrah for a merry summer 1”
The faithful bell, now the school is done,
Must pause iu its daily swinging;
D ies it miss the noise
Of the girls and boys.
And long to echo vacation joys
With a peal of its wildest ringing?
Soon, over the country far and wide,
There are ripples of happy laughter;
•* For the children know
Where the berries grow.
Win re the purling streams thro’
the meadows flow,
And the hurrying brooks speed after.
They know where the mountains lift their
heads,
By the great sky-curtain bounded;
Ai,d their voices leap
To the craggy steep,
And wake the echoes from ont
their sleep,
W itb shouts that are thrice resounded.
They know where the sea lies blue and
calm
In the bright midsummer weather;
And they love to stand
0,i the shining sand,
Where the tide roils up—and then,
band in hand,
To plunge in the wave together.
They love to loiter in the leafy woods,
And list to the squirrel’s scolding,
As they cliu.b to a seat
Ne»r his safe retreat,
Or full on a couch, ail spicy sweet,
Of leathery ferns unfolding.
But, by and by, in the autumn days,
Ere the bee has deserted the clover,
When the sound of the bell
Suull rise and swell,
Will the little folk laugh—now who
who can tell—
To hear that vacation is over ?

WHAT SHE COULD DO.
She conld swing a six-pound dumb bell,
She could fence ami she could box,
She could row upon the river
She could clamber ’mong the rocks,
She could do some heavy bowling
And play tennis all day long;
But she could not help her mother,
’Cause she wasn’t very strong.
A BRAVE BOY.
Some years ago, Buys the author of “Big
Game of North America,’, three children
who lived near Olympia, Washington,
were returning from school, when Walter,
the eldest, a boy or twelve, noticed wbat
be thought to be a large yellow dog trol
ling in the road behind them. They paid
no attention to it, as large mongrel dogs
of this color abound eveiy where in the vi-
ciniiy of Indian camps, but went playing
leisurely along.
Suddenly the youngest, a chnbby chap
of six, who was beb ind bis brothers^ came
running to the front, and a moment later
the animal, seen now to be a cougar,
sprang over the beads of the two astonish
ed boys, seising the iiule fellow in bis
mouth, and with a spring vanished in the
bushes.
The elder brother did not stop to delib
erate. He had for a weapon only an emp
ty bottle, in which be had carried milk for
his dinner, and with this he rushed iolo
the bushes. His little brother was lying
prostrate, grasping a small tiee with both
hands, and holding on with the strength of
despair, while the cougar, bis fangs luckily
imbedded only io the child's clothing, was
trying to break this deathlike grip.
With a scream, Walter threw himself on
the animal, beat it over its head with the
bottle until the glass was shattered in frag
ments, *ind tbeD, with the ragged edges of
the bottle’s neck, be endeavored to cut out
the cougar’s eyes.
At last the cougar, with a yell of rage,
dropped his hold on the child, and ran up
a tree near at hand, while the - heroic boy,
lifting his brother in bis arms, carried him
into the road, and fell fainting upon him.
Meanwhile the other brother had fled
screaming up the road, and fortunately
met two men who had been chopping near
by. As soon as he had told the cause of
bis fright, they rushed on, to find the lit
tle hero senseless, still tightly grasping
the neck of the broken bottle.
The cougar’s victim was too much hor
rified to speak, but pointed to the savage
beast, lying on a limb in full view. Ooe
of the men had a pistol, and with a few
shots the animal was killed.

A SIMPLE TRELLIS FOB TOMATOES.
ing a patch in this manner will increase
the amount of crop to the foil extent of
paying for material and erection of trel
lis, while the better quality of the fruit
resulting from such treatment will lx
clear gain. The trellis consists simply
of a row of stakes at a reasonable space
apart, on each side of the row of plants,
and strands of wire strung along the
posts, at say eight inches apart from
each other.
One of the state experiment stations
reports satisfactory results from the use
of a trellis put up like the one described
with this exception, that pieces of six
inch, board in single line were substi
tuted for the posts and the wires stapled
to the edges on each side.
The home gardener can well afford to
put up some sort of trellis for his com
paratively few plants, even if he did not
expect any other advantage from it but
the greater attractiveness and neatness
of the patch.
A simple way of treating tomato vines
is to train them to a single pole or stake,
say eight feet high, and keep the plants
trimmed to siugle stem. Soft bands
should be used for tying, and particular
TRELLIS
attention paid to give the fruit clusters
some support by tying to the stake. The
plants need not bo more than three feet
apart in the row.
A simple and inexpensive style of
trellis is shown in the second cut It
consists in setting three stakes five or
six feet high in a circle around each
plant, and fastening a few barrel hoops
to them as shown in the engraving.
Treatment of Lawn*.
A mistake is often made by setting the
lawn mower to cut too short, and there
is not enough of leaf growth left to give
strength to the roots of the grass. A
more natural condition is given by cut
ting a little higher, and the lawn is
made more like velvet, and there would
be less danger of the earth below being
dried or burned by exposure to the sun.
Owners and gardeners are sometimes
puzzled to know what. to do under the
shade "of trees where grass will not grow
freely. The best remedy is a free seed
ing with Kentucky bluegrass, which
will endure shade better than most other
lawn grasses. -'
Tying Up Celery.
My experience in tying np celery in
papers is not the best, says a Rural New
Yorker correspondent, as it heats and the
the centers rot too much in warm weath'
er. Blanching it with 13-inch boards is
the most satisfactory to me. If the cel
ery plants are set five inches in the row,
the rows being eighteen inches apart, and
the boards are set upright on each side of
the row, the celery will come out in good
edible shape in a few days.
Poultry Notes.
Do not put up an expensive poultry
building because some millionaire sets
the example.
If the ducks and geese are picked reg
ularly during the summer and early fall
they will not moult
It is not the state of the market that
causes failure in poultry keeping, but the
Btate of mind of the poultry keeper.
The scrape from the table soaked in
sweet milk until soft make a good feed
for young turkeys, especially in the sum
mer.
Do not be afraid to give your fowls
plenty of clean water. It will not Kurt
them, though judging by appearance of
the drinking vessels in many yards, one
would be led to think- the owner thought
so.
Take down those ladder shaped roost*
which have caused the death of so many
hens, and try for one year the plan of
having them all on a level and about
twenty inches apart, with a flooring
about eight inches below to catch the
dropping. Make these roosts out of 2x2
with the corners shaved off and arrange
them to drop into sockets at each end,
so they can easily be removed and fre
quently washed to kill insects and ver
min.—Fanny Field in Farmers’ Review.
THE SECRET OF HIS WEALTH.
A millionaire said “the secret of my
wealth” is in the word, S-A-Y-E; and
the secret of my health is in the word,
S-A-G-E. By this last he meant Dr.
Sage, whoseJCatarrh Remedy cured him
of one of the worst cases of Catarrh, and
thereby saved him from much suffering
and premature death, enabling him to
make his millions, and enjoy life. The
cares mad.e by this medicine are sitaplv
wonderful.
FREE FROM BURGLARS.
Allow me to digress for a moment
while I speak of the wagon road of
North Carolina. Tfte system has been a
bad one for some years, especially in the
western part of the state. For that rea
son the roads have been practically im
passable a good deal of the year. The
Asheville and Hendersonville road, for
instance, is kept now in the same repair
that the road is from Zanzibar to Lake
Victoria Nyanza. It was formerly a
toll road, and though the tolls were used
mostly for personal expenses by the
owners of the road, the bill was always
made ont for those who desired to ride
ovsf the route. I speak thus plainly of
these roads hoping that it may result in
great good to those who live thereon.
At present the road above referred to
is simply an ill kempt trail, along which
are strewn the wrecks of basted vehicles
and the bones of people whose necks
have been dislocated in trying to ride
over them, and who have been left alone
to die. Though a public road of great
importance, very few people drive over
it unless under the influence of liquor.
There are places on this road where
mountain springs soak up through the
roadbed, and have done so for centuries,
while the load in aster has been waiting
for them to dry out. Tho result is that
a Ntitneboat is the only vehicle which
will safely make the trip.- Hitch a
8-year-old heifer with a claybank mule,
and then on the lead pnt a lavender
jackass, and if you are a careful driver
you may take your children to Ashe
ville, but if not you will surely be short
two or three on the way home. Lots of
North Carolina families have only eleven
or twelve children left ont of a possible
twenty, owing to the condition of the
roads. This reckless outlay of children,
It seems to me, if nothing else, should
teach us to improve our roads.
Asheville has made an appropriation
recently of $625,000, most all of which
will go for the improvement of her
streets. This is better than a like
amount laid ont in feneeboard advertis
ing. Now let the issue iu the county be
“bully roads for Buncombe county,” and
let the party who opposes the improve
ment correct the bad grammar and poor
punctuation in its dying speech, and do
it aoon too.
I was saying the other day that after
fi pretty general knowledge of North
Carolina for five or six years i was as
tonished to notice that there had been
no burglaries within my observation.
This is remarkable, especially to me. for
I have lived where a burglary was not
uncommon, and where I have suffered
myself, having lost a silver plated butter
dish in that way eight years ago, also
what batter we had in the house at the
time, it being concealed in the batter
dish. 1 also shot a burglar, eleven years
ago, who was breaking into my resi
dence, but be had only sixty cents on his
person at the time, and even that the
coroner took away from me on the fol
lowing day. The burglar has it all his
own way at the north, but-here in North
Carolina, where the mosquito never lives
and the politician never dies, burglary is
a capital offense. All burglars over
fourteen years of age are executed. This
tends to turn the attention of bright
young burglars toward politics.
1 never felt so secure before in my
life. 1 leave my large, massive, solid
silver watch on the escritoire every night
now, whereas I used to put it underneath
the mattress. It is a very comfortable
feeling. I assure you. Of course chick
ens are not so safe, especially during a
colored revival. 1 do not wish to be
misunderstood regarding this matter,
bnt 1 was told on the start by a devout
Christian of the Caucasian race that if 1
Cared anything for my “broilers” 1
would watch them most carefully dur
ing a colored revival, for at that time
the more “earnest” negroes were so all
tore np in their minds that they conld
not work at all during the day. and the
revival took all the night, or nearly so.
Therefore, when the pangs of hnnger |
and the rumblings and retchings of a
sin-sick soul had been preying on an or- i
dinary colored man for a week or ten
days he was hollow dean into the
ground ami his better judgment didn't j

bnt X was poor and conld uot buy a

in any other way. If you got one in any
other way, in the language of the vigi

pease.
Boomerang was a bright young aa
wtth a dark cross on his back and a saw
buck saddle on which l nsed to pa^k
sidepork and other titbits to tempt my
appetite and tickle my palate wide
prospecting for gold in the bowels of the
earth. Also 1 carried salt with which to
salt my mines if I found them in hot
weather and feared that they might get
too gamey.
Boomerang had no home ties. If he
had any relatives they did not corre
spond with him. He and I grew np to
gether on the Medicine Bow rattge; al
most like boys and girls together, you
might say. But he was not happy.
Sometimes 1 thought that possibly, as
he got to knowing me better, perhaps 1
was a disappointment to him. He acted
that way. Anyhow he would Bob aud
cry while Le thought I was asleep, many
and many a night.
After that I got more forehanded, and
when I got the first payment on one of
my justly celebrated pickled mines 1
bought a mule called Yellow Fever.
This mole was sold to me as-a good,
kind family mole, and 1 intended to
raise yet other mules for the market.
Yellow Fever was almost always fatal,
however, no matter where she broke
out. Our first grave on Vinegar Hill was
taken charge of by a man who partially
reached the tail of Yellow Fever. She
is still alive, bnt childless. No little feet
patter about her corral. No little croupy
voices salute the silent night in her sim
ple home.
Five years later I bought an American
horse off a comparative stranger. He
was a spirited horse, with a piercing eye
on the side where I stood. Oh, he was t
corker. He had lots of pop and enter
prise and high purposes into him, also
bright red nostrils, and he was checked
np real high.
The man who sold me this horse said
that he intended settling down and
starting a bank in onr town, bnt he did
not. There was some hitch abont get
ting a large enongh building, I believe.
He sold me this horse—Hectic, by Jndas
Priest—because his wife had died He
laid that Hectic was her horse, and
tince she died he conld not bear to look
at him. Then he came and cried into
my lap qnito a little spell.
That night the horse was ill all night
A neighbor told me that Hectic had the
colio, but when 1 -pnt my hand on the
little hot stomach of my steed he kicked
me across the plaza and into a bed of
cacti. It hurt me a good deal, especially
in my finer feelings. It doesn’t take
much to hurt my finer feelings. I sup
pose that it would be very difficult, in
deed, to find a man who is so susceptible
to a kick at the hands of a spirited horse
as 1 am.
On the following day A veterinarian
from Leipsic examined Hectic and made
quite an extended report. I am not a
horse man, so I cannot remember what
he said, but I know he said that his
tampers were down I asked him if we
conld not get their >np again. I would
do all that I conld to boom them through
the press and on the street. Bnt he looked
at me sadly, and J conld see the tears
gathering in his eyes. Then he turned
away, and i conld hear him mutter
something to himself in Ger man. I do
not understand German readily, but 1
would not be the man he was talking
about for anything in this world.
Later, when I had taken the crape off
the stable door and had waited a year
after the death of Hectic—for he conld
not eat anything but kumiss with hi*
artificial teeth, and so died about six
weeks after his mind failed—I bought
an Indian pony called Hihwatha. Hin-
HIAWATHA, THE INDIAN PONT,
watha is still alive, though- very few oi
his owners are. He belonged to the 81-
wash tribe, and had a brand on him
which was the crest of Old Soiled Noeet
the chief of the Yaps.
Hiawatha came into onr family well
recommended by one of the pleasantest
extemporaneous speakers 1 ever saw.
His home was on Fifty-eighth street,
New York city, and he dealt In homes
just because he loved them. He said
that Hiawatha knew more than lots of
men who held office, and I never flaw a
man use such an effort to control him*
self as this man did when he said good-
by to Hiawatha and took the ferry tor
his wretched and lonely home.
Fortunately, Hiawatha did not kQi
any of our family, because we have a

This la the season of the year
When school letsoat and small boys swarm:
The undue peach will soon be here.
And eolk- in it* swdlest form.
The festive cracker soon wilt pop.
The empty pistol will explode.
The druggist get his annnal crop,
Tho doctor reap where he has sewed.
This is the time when icemen blow.
And hold their noees high in air;
No longer they the plumbers know;
Bnt hobnob with the millionaire.
The bee now flits from flower to flower.
With incidental tripe elsewhere;
And when be demonstrate* his power —
Profanity pervades the air.
Now on the fat men's polished domes
The flies their annual May tost hold;
Sweet graduates now write their “pomes"
About the Xewneas of the Old.

For girls with loe cream appetites,

* Smut In Oats. |
According to a bulletin issued by the
Kansas station, in all ordinary cases smut
can be entirely prevented by treating the
seed fifteen uimntes in water raised to a
temperature of 1321 degs. F. The smnt
may also be prevented by immersing the
seed twenty-four hours in a one-half per
cent, solutiou of potassium sulphide. The
statement, however, is based on a very
few experiments of last year only. The
other fungicides tested, when destroying
all or . nearly all the smut, greatly in
jured the stand. Seed from clean fields
will prodnoe a crop free from smut, but
if the adjoiniug fields are smutty the oati
will gradually become infected.

Dr. Northrup, who is instructor of

through his specimens, and, finding ft
necessary to add some alcohol to some

The cellar is under the Collections
building of the School of Mines and is
of solid concrete. Directly the bung
was removed from the barrel the explo

was between Dr. Northrop and the

It seems almost a crime for a man to
