Only "Half a Point. "

A gentleman crossing the Eng
lish channel stood near the helms
man. 1t was calm and pleasant
evening, and no one dreamed of a
possible danger to their good ship.
But a sudden tapping OF a sail, as
if the wind had shifted, caught the
ear of the officer on watch, and he
sprang at once to the wheel, ex-
amining closely the compass. "You
are half point off the course" he
said sharply to the man at the
wheel. The deviation was corrected
and the officer returned to his post
you must steer very accurately
said the locker on, when only hall
a point is so much thought of
"Ah, half a point in many places
might bring US directly on the
rocks he said. So it is in life.
Half a point from strict truthful
ness strands us upon the rocks OF
falsehOod. Half a point from per-
feet honesty, and we are steering
right for the rocks of crime. And
so of all kindred vices. The begin
nings are always small. No one
climbs to a summit at one bound,
but goes up one little step at time.
Children think lightly of what they
call small sins. These rocks do not
look so fearful to them.

a New Industry.

Some time ago Mr. Edwards At
kinson made the statement that the
lint was the least valuable portion
of the cotton plant, for which some
classed him as theorist. He has.
however, been steadily presenting
facts which justify his position, and
has now brought to light, another
point with reference to the value of
that part of the cotton plant hither-
to considered not only utterly with
out value but as actually adding to
the expense of production to dis
pose of it. Recent analysis of the
cotton plant have disclosed the
fact that for each bale of the lint
there are 1,500 pounds of stems,
which contain larger quantities of
phosphate oflime and phosphate of
patash than the seed. Mr.. Akin
son suggests that the stalks be
ground and mixed with cotton-seed
meal or other suitable forage. and
used as feed for stock. If the
ground cotton stems were TO be
mixed with corn ensilage the com
pound would furnish all the ele-
ments desirable for the production
of milk, meat and bone, and the
feeding of all grains might be en-
tirely dispensed with. Pure cotton
seed meal is considered too rich for
use as fodder in large quantities,
and the mixture of ground stems
would not only correct this but add

do you think it is right to com
pei children to 60 to sleep in the
dark if they are timid and desire a
lightTn This question comes from
n young mother.
We answer: 1t is very wrong
and may be very dangerous to
oblige a timid, nervous little one to
stay alone in the dark, prey to
terrors which grown people cannot
estimate in their full vagueness and
dire weight of dread. The better
way is TO go with the child to his
room, moving about it gently aud
quietly, and talking to him. so that
the last waking thoughts are happy
and trustful ones; and then when
prayers have been said and kisses
given, leave a light in the room or
In the adjoining passage. If you,
being grown up and your own mis-
tress, have ever been assailed by
that mysterious horror of fear which
sometimes comes over people in the
dark when their judgment tells them
there is nothing TO fear, YOU will
have sympathy with children. such
as you cannot otherwise feel.
