Gardening Along the Carson.

The ranchers along the Carson are
nov busily engaged In gathering their
vegetable products Of the year. Vegeta
BILE raising has been q more prominent
feature with them this year than ever
before. The reason IL obvious: Pota.
toes that sell for s45 per ton, and car
rots that find q ready market at $50 per
ton. pay better than raising alfalfa that
will bring only only $40 per ton. Car
son Valley soil grows vegetables most
~prolifcally. We were surprised the other
day when visiting q neighboring ranch,
to see the large yields Of different vege.
tables from small parcels OF land. An
acre OF that land, when properly cared
for. will grow each year eight tons OF
potatoes, or nine tons Of carrots, or six
tons Of turnips. Or 10000 heads Of cab.
bage Of an average weight Of Eve pounds.
These figures are not based upon theory.
but upon actual experiments among

The KhYber Pass.

The Khyber Pass is q mountain dehle
% miles in length, in which there are
few places where an army could fnd
cover. In April. i8i3, however, General
Pollock, with u force which comprised
only one European battalion, seven
native battalions. three regiments OF
cavalry and Il guns, succeeded In fore
ing his way through 1t, with but com.
paratively small losses, although the
enemy had assembled in great mum.
beers to oppose him. and had forti.
fed with redoubts the heights which
commanded not only the APP
proaches to the entrance. but also
the pass itself. the mouth Of which they
had barricaded by a strong breastwork OF
stones aud bushes. The manner In which
General Pollock achieved this difficult
enterprise wa so admirable that in the
standard English work on minor tactics
the attack Is described in detail as an eI-
ample Of forcing q mountain dehle de-
Tended ut the entrance. Broadly speak
ing. the plan adopted for forcing the
pass was first to clear the heights
Of the enemy and then advance against
the entrance. Accordingly, the greater
part Of the attacking force was
formed into two columns, one Of which
was to storm the heights on the right,
the other those on the left; while the
remaining troops were kept in reserve
to advance against the center OF the enc
my's position 40 Don ~ the attacks on
his TANKS should be sufficiently devel.
oped. Both right and left columns ad.
vanced simultaneously, the front Of each
covered by 4 line OF skirmishers followed
by supports. At FIRST the enemy offered
a determined resistance. but on both
TANKS the defenders were gradually
forced up the hills and finally driven
in at all points. As soon a. the
thanking columns had thus gained
possession Of the heights, the portion Of
the force kept in reserve advanced to
the mouth Of the pass and destroyed the
barrier. which the enemy had abandoned
on finding his position turned. and as
the crowning parties on each side gained
ground. so the central column proceeded.
until finally. driven back from hight to
hight. the defender. seeing his posi-.
tons in the pass thus successfully out
fiAnked. abandoned any further opera
tions.

The Revival Meetings.

The services in the evening were opened
with prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Gardiner, after
which he read the SD chapter of Isaiah. The
hymn"How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
was sung. Mr.. Morehouse announced that his
subject for the evening was from Mark, vii ~
-"He doeth all things WELL" These words are
spoken of the Lord Jesus, and are to be taken
as His truth; even the vilest sinner may apply
them to himself whom Christ came to save,
and with whom He ate and drank when upon
earth, when he believing owns Him as his
Saviour The preachers remarks were particu-
larry directed to those who imagine their mo-
rality is in the end to save them. On this class
he commented severely; also administered a
well-tmed rebuke to the churches of Christ, in
that they preach to the world doctrines which are
only applicable tosthemselves. They pride them
selves that they are to be saved because they
keep the greater part of Gods commandments,
when the fact is, there is not a passage oil
scripture TO prove that by SO doing they will be
saved; these are merely stepping stones. We
are to work out our own salvation after we
have accepted Christ as our Saviour. All the
sinner has to do is to believe, and then he must
work.
"Rock of Ages was theu sung, after which
prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. McWhinnie,
and the meeting then closed by singing 81
hear thy welcome voice."
At the conclusion of this meeting a prayer
meeting lasting thirty, minutes was held, coz
ducted by Mr. Morehouse, at which the larger
part of the audience remained. Several ex.
pressed desire to begin the Christian journey.
A prayer meeting will be held in the church
vestry at 10a o'clock this morning. and Bibl,
reading will be given in the church at 8 p. m
today by Mr.. Morehouse, also preaching at 7.3O
