N THE TRAMP BOULDER.
Remarkable Evidence of Glacial Influence
■ In New Jersey.
Countless thousands of years ago
vast stretches of glacial deposits came
sliding actors the State of New Jer¬
sey, mounted the Palisades, pushed
their way across the Hudson River,
scoured over Manhattan Island and
slid out into the Atlantic Ocean,
whither they disintegrated and sank
into the deep or perhaps glided on to
the other ocean shore.
But in their onward march these
glaciers left indestructible evidence o!
their grinding stride and to-day, all
along the Palisades the trap rocks and
boulders are worn smooth where the
mountains of ice and sand passed over
them. In some rocks are deep
scratches, all pointing eastward, and
showing which way the glacial,deposits
drifted. There is the evidence, mute
but indisputable.
To the careful observer there are
numberless other eVidences of the
presence of glacial influences in the
Past, .... but _________ none aie more convincing
than the tramp boulder that has finally
settled down in the woods in the heart
of Englewood borough. There it sits,
a towering mass of rock weighing per-
haps two hundred tons, and resting
upon three points which in themselves
find nnd fl a purchase nurchase nn on a a flat nat rock rock that tnat i3 is
part of and common to the character
of rock which composes the Palisades,
But, strangely enough, and to the won-
derment of geologists, the tramp
boulder is red sandstone from the Jer-
sey hills twenty-five miles inland, and
the pedestal is metamorphite or soft
granite.
Around this marvelous monument
have grown trees that may, perhaps,
be a century old, and they have com¬
pletely hedged it in; while the rock
itself has stood where it stands to-day
for thousands of years. On the pedes¬
tal, or that part of it which is pro¬
tected from the action of the elements,
can be seen the deep ridges and scars
made across the flat surface by the
great grinding pressure of the body of
ice and sand that passed over it count¬
less years ago when New York was ice
and snow clad, and the world was a
desolate waste in a state of chaos.
This tramp boulder has cause!
geologists much wonderment, and is
regarded to-day as one of the finest
specimens ever left in the wake of a
glacier. It Is equally astounding as
though an explorer should find the hull
of a steamboat in the Sahara desert.
The only way it could get there would
be through some great convulsion that
had landed it from the sea to the
heart of the inland sands.—New York
Journal.

David said in tils haste, “All mon nre

hasty conclusion, and so, presumably, not
strictly correct. You. in a similar spirit of
impatience, the may sometimes be tempted to
voice same opinion. But don’t. For,
in spite of lies, white and black, polite lies,
business lies and malicious lies -lies that
seem to worm themselves into every cir¬
cumstance ot life—the world in general
hates tho lie and loves the truth. This is
wny you caunot iusult a man more deeply
than to give him the llo. The insult is due
to tho fact that public opinion demands
I tho truth. Look, then, on this side of life,

stop to-morrow. Think, then, on this bet-
ter aspect of human life,
exa^? “an
who steals a loaf of bread goes to jail
while the man who steals a million of
money at worst goes to Congress. There
is doubtless some truth in this view. And
yet there is a just God, and though some¬
times He may seem a little slow, His grist
is, on tho whole, a pretty good article of
justice. Remember always that in the
long run, anyway, even in this world, right
makes might. Think on this, and don’t
let tho fact that many conditions seem un¬
even and unfair sour your spirit.
Again,there are those who look for dirt
and find plenty of it. Human life is by no
means immaculate, it is true, but none the
less the world is full of the purity of in-
nocent childhood, glorious won&nhood
and noble manhood. Look upon this side
of life—tlie side that lies opt iu the sun¬
light of God’s approval. The pessimist
thinks that everything is imperfect. He
examines faulty. It the blade of grads and finds it

stunted or otherwise malformed. He al¬
ways discovers the worm in the heart of

go in his company. See, rather, the loveli-
ness scattered over tho world with such a
lavish hand. Why; as someone has Bhown
viewed us, even the wayside mud puddle, if
at the proper angle, is a thing of
beauty, and mirrors the sky and reflects in
its bosom the clouds of heaven.

public demands, show this. What is tbe
menu of our breakfast paper? In large
measure dish of tilth a plate and of bowl violence of blood. and robbery, “Give a

Just so. Well, refuse to think on ill report

you will be better and happier. Life is very
much as you view it. As ahe proverb goes,
“The jauudiced see ail things yellow.”
Tbe gamin, says, “Ob, it’s all in your eye.”
And so it is. Look on the right side of life
and not on the wrong side. Life, no doubt,
hns a seamy side, but be charitable. Don’t
think on this side. A painting has a faee

COMMON SENSE IN RELIGION.
Dr. Tahnage Advocates Reform In Man¬
agement of Spiritual Affairs.
Text: “Thechildren of this world are
in their generation wiser than the children
of light.”—Luke xvl., 8.
That is another wav of saying that Chris¬
tians are not so skillful in the manipulation
of spiritual affairs us worldlings uro skill¬
ful in the management of temporalities. I
see all around me people who nro alert,
earnest, concentrated und skillful in mone¬
tary matters, who in the affairs ot the soul
are laggards, iuane, inert. Thegreat want
of the world is raoro common sense in mat¬
ters ot religion. If one half of the skill
and forcefulness employed In llnancial af¬
fairs win employed in disseminating the
truths of Christ and trying to make the
world better, within tun years the last Jug¬
gernaut would fall, the last throne of op¬
pression upset, the last iniquity tumble and
the anthem that was chanted over Bethle¬
hem on Christmas night would bo echoed
and Fa-echoed from all Nations aud kindred
and people: “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good-will to men.”
Iu the first place, iny friends, wo want
more common sense in the building and
couduct of churches. The idea of adap¬
tiveness is always paramount in any other
kind of structure. If bankers meet to¬
gether, the and they resolve especially upon putting adapted up-a
hank, bank is to
banking purposes; if a manufacturing com¬
pany manufacturing puts up a building, It is but to be adaptive¬ adapted
to purposes;
ness is not always the question iu the rear¬
ing of ohurohes. In many of our churches
we want more light, more room, more ven¬
tilation, more comfort. Vast sums of
money are expended on eeclesiastlonl struc¬
tures, and men sit down in them, and you
ask a man how he Hkes+hechurch; hesays:
“I like it very well, but I pan’t hear.”
Again I remark: We want more common
sense in the obtaining of religious hope.
All men understand that in order to suc¬
ceed in worldly directions they nffist con¬
centrate. They think on that one object,
on that one subject, until their mind takes
tire with the velocity of their own
thoughts. All their acumen, all their
strategy, all their wisdom, all their com-
mon sbcse they put in that one direction.,
and they succeed. But how seldom It is
true in the matter of seeking after God!
While no man expects to aoeotnplish any¬
thing for this world without concentra¬
tion and enthusiasm, how mauy are there
expecting after a while to get into the
kingdom of God without the u^o of any
such means.
Again, I remark: We want more common
sense in the building up und enlarging of
our Christian character. There are men
wLio have for forty years been.,running the
Christian race, and they haven’t run a
quarter of a mile! No business man would
bo willing to have his investments unac-
eumulative. If you invest a dollar you ex¬
pect that dollar to come homo bringing an¬
other dollar on Its back. What would you
think of a man who should invost $10,000
in a monetary institution, then go off for
five years, make no Inquiry in regard to
the investment, then oome back, step up to
the cashier of the institution and say.
“Have you kept those $10,000 safely that I
lodged with you?” but asking Why, no question
about interest or dividend? you say,
“That is not common sense." Neither is it,
but that is the way we act in matters of tho
sou). We make a far more important in¬
vestment than $10,000. Wo Invest our
soul. It is accumulative? Are we growing
ingraoo? Are we getting better? Are wo
getting worse? God declares many divi¬
dends, but we do not collect thorn; wo do
not want them. Oh, that in this matter of
accumulation wo were as wise ill the mat¬
ters of the soul as we are in the matters of
the world!
How little common sense in the reading
of the Scriptures! Wo get any other book,
and wo open it, and we say, “Now what
does this book mean to teaoh me? It is a
book on astronomy; It will teach mo as¬
tronomy. It is a book on political econ¬
Taking omy; it will this teach me political ask economy.
up Bible, do we ourselves
what It means to teach? It means to do
just one thing, get the world converted and
get us all to heaven. That is what it pro¬
poses to do. But instead of that wo go
into the Bible as botanists to piok flowers,
or light we go as pugilists Christians to with, get something to
other or wo go as
logicians trying to sharpen our mental
faculties for a better argument, and we do
not like this about the Bible and we do not
like that, and wo do not like tho othor
How little we use common sense in
prayer! We say, “Oh, Lord, givemethls,”
and “Oh, Lord, give me that,” and “Oh,
Lord, give me something else,” and we do
not expect to get it, or getting It, we do
not know we have it. We have no anxiety
about it. We do not watch and wait for its
coming. As a merchant, you telegraph for bill or of
you write to some other city a
goods. You say, “Send me by such ex¬
press, or by such a steamer, or by such a
rail-train.” The day arrives. You send
your wagon to the depot or to the wharf.
The goods do not come. You immediately
telegraph, “What is the matter them. with those Send
goods? We haven’t received
them right away. We want them now, or
we don’t want them at all.” And you keep
writing, and you keep telegraphing, and
keep sending your wagon to the depot,
or to the express office, or to the wharf,
until you get tho goods. In matters of
religion we are not so wise as that. We
ask certain things to be sent from heaven.
We do not know whether they come or not.
Wo have not any special anxiety as to
whether they come or not. We may get
them and we may not get them. Instead of
at 7 o’clock in the morning saying, “Have
I got that blessing?” at 12 o’clock, noon¬
day, asking, “Have I got that blessing?”
at 7 o’clock in the evening saying, “Have I
received that blessing?” and not getting it,
pleading, pleadiug—begging, it. begging-
asking, asking until you get Now, If my
brethren, is not that common sense? we
ask a thing from God, who has sworn by
His eternal throne that He will do that
which we ask, is it not common sense that
we should watch and wait until we get tt?
But I remark again: We want more com¬
mon sense in doinf; good. Oh, how many
people there are who want to do good, and
they are dead failures! Why is it? They
do not exercise the same tact, the same in¬
genuity, the same stratagem, the same
common sense in the work of Christ that
they do in worldly things. Otherwise they
would succeed in this direction as well as
they sucmukI in the other, There are many

CHARGED IVITll ROBBERY.
Prominent Merchants Haiti to lie
ator* Against, tho Southern.
Railroad authorities have
what they believe to he the scheme
a gang of robbers, which, according
the claims of the detectives, promises
to be as groat a sensation ns the ex¬
posure of the Bohauon gang at
ton, Ga.
H. B. Carter, a prominent
tine operator, of Brookville, Fla.,
Frank Herrington, another citizen
the same town, were placed in the
Fulton county jail at Atlanta Satur¬
day. The officials in charge of the
case say their evidence against their
prisoners is strong, and that further
work may result in the arrest of other
parties.
The officials clft'rn that Carter had
goods shipped to himself, subtly re¬
moved the goods from the car at the
place of destination, then burned the
car, afterwards claiming damages from
tho railroad people and leaving his
creditors in the lurch.
The circumstances surrounding the
arrest of Herrington are rather mea¬
ger. The railroad authorities are mak¬
ing assiduous efforts to keep the mat¬
ter quiet. The two prisoners were
smuggled into the county jail without
their names being docketed and no
charge was booked against them.
The prisoners protest their inno¬
cence, and say they can present suffi¬
cient proofs of this at the proper time.
They will be held to await further in¬
vestigation,
Last August Carter was in business
at dirontwood, Ga., a little town on the
Georgia Southern, a branch of the
Southern railway, fifteen miles north
of Jesup. Moody was agent for the
railroad at the same place. Carter’s
establishment was rather large for a
country town. He handled general
merchandise, buying most of his
goods from Atlanta and Macon.
The road did not regard Brentwood
of sufficient importance to erect a de¬
pot, and an old box car was made to
serve the purpose on a side track.
Last August Carter ordered an un¬
usually large bill of goods from At¬
lanta and Macon, amounting to about
$3,300.
On Saturday night, August 28tb,
this freight car depot was burned to
the ground under mysterious circum¬
stances. The folk of the vicinity
made an effort to locate the source of
the flame, but without success. Car¬
ter claimed he had lost his goods in
the fire, and later filed suit against the
Southern road for the above amount.
When this suit was filed the road
immediately suspected fraud some¬
where. Likewise the various firms
who had sold Carter the goods. On
consent of the roads and the merchants,
a detective, who succeeded in collect¬
ing sufficient evidence to convict the
Bohannon gang, was employed on the
case, and he went at once to Brent¬
wood. After making careful observa¬
tion of the surroundings he was satis¬
fied Carter had removed his goods
from the car and then set it on fire.
According to the detective, further
investigation developed the fact, be
charges, that Carter and Moody hauled
the goods from the car a night or two
before the fire, and hiding them in
some lonely spot, had afterwards set
fire to the car themselves. Recently
these goods were hauled, it is said
forty miles through the country and
shipped to Carter at Brookville, Fla.
POWDER CAN EXPLODES.
/
Mi(ny Persons Badly Injured At Asheville,
N. C., While Firing: a Cannon*
A crowd of one hundred or more
men and boys were firing a Christmas
salute from an oid cannon on the out¬
skirts of Asheville, N. C., when a can
of thirty pounds of powder exploded
in the thick of the crowd. Thirty or
forty persons were injured, but none,
it is believed, fatally.
The cannon was fired several times,
and then one of the party picked up
the powder can and began to reload
the cannon. The gun had not been
swabbed and the moment the tiny
stream of powder struck the heated
metal there was a flash and the powder
exploded with a report that made the
earth tremble,

CAMPHOR.
Where it is Cultivated, and How it is Dis¬
tilled,
Notwithstanding the comparatively
narrow limits of its natural environ¬
ment, says a bulletin in the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
camphor tree grows well In cultivation
under widely different conditions. It
has become abundantly naturalized in
Madagascar. It flourishes at Buenos
Ayres. It thrives in Egypt, in the
Canary Islands, in southeastern
France, and in the San Joaquin Val¬
ley in California, where the summers
are hot and dry. Large trees, at least
two hundred years old, are growing in
the temple courts at Tokio, where they
are subject to a winter of seventy to
eighty nights of frost, with an occa¬
sional minimum temperature as low
as 12 to 16 degrees. The conditions
for reajly successful cultivation appear
to be a minimum Winter temperature
not 8r below twenty degrees, fifty inches
more of rain during the warm grow¬
ing season, and an abundance of plant
food, rich in nitrogen. In the native
forests in Formosa, Fukien, and Japan
camphor is distilled almost exclusively
from the wood of the trunks, roots and
larger branches.
The work is performed by hand
labor, and the methods employed seem
rather crude. The camphor trees are
felled, and the trunk, larger limbs, and
sometimes the roots are cut into chips,
which are placed in a wooden tub
about forty inches high and twenty
inches in diameter at the base, taper¬
ing toward the top like an old-fash¬
ioned churn. The tub has a tight-fit¬
ting cover, which may he removed to
put in the chips. A bamboo tube ex-
tends Condenser. from near the top of the tub into
the This consists of two
wooden tubs of different sizes, the
larger one right side up, kept about
two-thirds full of water from a con-
tinuous stream which runs out of a
hole in one side. The smaller one is
inverted with its edges below the wa-
ter, forming an air-tight chamber.
This air chamber is kept cool by the
water falling on the top ar.d running
down over the sides. The upper part
of the air chamber is sometimes filled
with clean rice straw, on which
camphor crystallizes, while the oil
drips down and collects on the surface
of the water. In some cases the
camphor and oil are allowed to collect
together, and are afterward sep-
arated by filtration through rice straw
or by pressure. About twelve hours
are required for distilling a tubful by
this method. Then the chips are re¬
moved and dried for use in the fur¬
nace, and a new charge is put in. At
the same time the camphor and oil are
removed from the condenser. By this
method twenty to forty pounds of
chips are required for one pound of
crude camphor.
Cocoanut Candy.
An easy way to make delicious
cocoanut candy is to boil three cups of
granulated sugar with tnree-fourths
of a cup of water until it “ropes”
when ponred from a spoon. Then re¬
move from the fire and stir in the
freshly grated cocoanut, which must
be in readiness. Flavor with vanilla,
and spread on buttered tins. When
sufficiently hard, cut into small
squares.
The Self-Made Man.
“To a woman,” remarked the ob¬
server of men and things, “the aver¬
age self-made man suggests a white
pearl button sewed ou black trousers.”
