Mir. Clarence King is the author of the scientific sensation of the year. For the subject of his address before the alumni of the Sheffield scientific tchvoi at New Haven, Connecticut, he chose 'Catastrnphism, or the Evolution of Environment In his geological researches MT. King has found disturbances which can apparently be sc- counted fer on y upon the ground Of catss- trophe or complete overturning ef existing conditions. Thus he brings himself st di- rect issue with the evolutionists, who put continued. gradual and uniform growth and change at the basis of their theories of de- velopnent. Mir. Kings address was very long We can but note few of the points made. He first established the reality of physical disturbances st several epochs in the history of the Cordiileras regios, which has been his field of lslsr. Between she catsstrophes intervened the long p~rteds of quiet action, such as is claimed for universal time by the unifarpsitssisps The same amount of energy would be required to ele- vste mountainous districts upoh either visssS The effects of the catxclysms upon life are claimed tc be partly extermination; partly dcsffuetisn of biological equilibrium. thus violating natural seIcction; and partly the production of morphologicsl changes in plastic species. Marked changes of species are noted in connection with these scstss- truphes. An illustration is afforded by the supposed genealogy of the American horse, ns set fosth by Huxley and Manh, aad re- gsrded as demonstration of evolution, ol the descent of the several genera from each other. King asserts that in the Corsiillcrxs eopntry, Nhfrs tlse,e relics occur, there has becn , tstastsophc intervening betxeer each two successive forms of the horse

a Fearfnl Riek for Girls.

The pastor of . church in one OF
our large cities said to me, not long
ago: ~ have ofTiciated at forty wed.
dings since / came here, and in every
case, save one, felt that the bride
was running fearful risk. Young
men of bad habits and fast tendencies
never marry girls Of their own sort,
but demand q wife above suspicion.
So, pure, sweet women, kept from the
touch of evil through the years OF
their girlhood, give themselves, with
all their costly dover of womanhood,
into the keeping of men who in base
associations, have learned to UNDER
value all that belongs to them, and
then find no repentance in the sad
after years. There is but one way
out Of this that can zee, and that is
for you-the young women Of the
countryside require in associations
and marriage, purity for purity, So
briefly for sobriety, and honor for
honor. There is no reason why the
young men Of this Christian land
should not be just % virtuous as its
women, and If the loss of society and
love be the price they are forced to
pay for vice they will not pay it.
admit with sadness that not all our
young women are capable of this
high standard for themselves or
others, but believe there are enough
earnest thoughtful girls in the socfe-
ty Of our country to work wonders il
faithfully aroused. Dear girls will
you help us. in the name Of Christ
Will You, fret of all, be true TO your.
selves and God; SO pure in your in.
ner souls and outer life that you shall
have . right to ask that the young
man with whom you marry shall be
the same? The awful gulf Of dishon.
or 10 close beside your feet, and in It
fathers, brothers, lovers and sons are
going down. Will you help us in
our great work ?"

We are already having many In.

this increased interest manifested in
this important branch ofagriculture.
We desire q this early period TO in
form those contemplating sowing
Flax Seed next Spring that they
shonld not fail to pillow this FAN. Fall
blowing 70 best for any small grain,
but especially for Flax. The sxpe-
rience OF Flax growers in the older
states have proved that much larger
per cent Of yield per acre il always
obtained by deep Fall blowing than
Spring blowing. We expect to have
sowing seed OF tho best quality for
all farmers desiring 1t, but those who
prepare their ground this fall, We
shall not disappoint under any cir
cumstances.
Now that Flax culture 10 proved to
be profitable crop, farmers should
make 1t one Of the staple farm prod
ucts of this section. After January
next wc shall be able to furnish SOW
ing seed At lower prices than ever be-
fore, and will always pay the highest
market prices for the crop.
