The COttOn.Seed Industry.

To say nothing of up-growth of cotton
factories and other industries the planter
has received big cliff from the cot
ton-seed industry. Before the war prac-
tically all cotton-seed went to waste,
except a small fraction used as manure
and what was reserved for planting.
Every bale of cotton represents about
1000 pounds of seed, worth at the gin,
say, six dollars. Assuming that each
acre grows half a bale of cotton "a low
estimate-and that half the seed product
is reserved for planting, there will be a
net product per acre of 8 so, which was
substantially lost in the old times. Within
a few years the industry of making cot
ton-seed oil has increased immensely,
until the manufactured product in oil
and oil cake is estimated as worth $10,-
100000 AS is well known, the oil is
often substituted for olive oil in table
use, while the cake is exported in large
quantities to be used for cattle feed. The
industry is peculiarly ingenious one.
First, the seed is taken into fine
combed gin and the short cotton left
by the plantation gins hulled away.
This produces about thirty pounds of
short staple cotton to each ton of seed,
worth six cents pound. The seeds are
then pulled by machinery, the kernels
ground into meal, which is heated to a
certain point, then placed in tough sacks
and run into hydraulic press, which
extracts the oil, leaving the yellow meal
in hard cakes. This meal is not UNI
pleasant to the taste, much resembling
buckwheat flour, and have heard of its
use for human food. Each ton of seed
ultimately produces about thirty gallons
of oil, worth forty-five cents gallon;
800 pounds of cake, worth 1922 ton; lint
cotton, worth $3.50, besides soap mate
rial derived from the refining, and the
hulls, which may be used both for fuel
in the factory and as compost. Both the
home and foreign demand for oil seed
products is increasing rapidly, and the
factories are said to pay large dividends.
But like cotton itself, cotton seed is
crop much wasted and abused. Every
sack of seed seems to have leaking hole
in it, and at Memphis, all along the
sloping river-bank, one has to fairly
wade through several inches of putrid
decaying seed ere he reaches the wharf
boats. AS to cotton, a single glance at
the tattered, half-covered bales, soiled
with mud or soaked with rain, is enough
to prove how shiftlessly the crop is
treated. -NeW Orleans Cor. N. Y. Even-

4 SAD EXPERIENCE.

My life had been given to dreaming,
had written of atoms and man,
OF things that were false in their seeming,
OF life that from nothing began.
l had lived like monk in a cloister,
With tones that we're musty to smell,
A sort of gregarious oyster
Encased in biblic shell.
had tasted the waves that are bitter,
For knowledge is bitter as death;
] had scorned Loves innocuous glitter,
Ihad tiouted the sweets of his breath.
But Cupid and Fate. are internal,
They lure you to sorrow and tears,
Their power, like the hills, is eternal,
Their reign is not bounded by years.
One eve, when the opaline splendor
OF light was most fair to behold,
And hearts were made plant and tender
BY glories of ruby and gold,
saw, as toward home was vending,
In distance of luminous haze,
Of beauty so perfect blending
That wisdom grew weak in its blaze.
A window, by soft curtains shrouded,
Was rich with a foamingsof lace,
And hair that like amber was clouded
Lay low on a radiant face.
There were tlushes of crimson out-stream-
ing
From velvet all heavy and warm,
And Orient silks, brightly cleaning,
Made dainty the exquisite form.
l saw, or dreamt it, a glory
Shine out that was meant but for me,
And then-it is but the old story,
My heart Was adrift on Loves sea.
For weeks, when the bright day was dying,
My passion was fed from afar;
i thought the short space tween us lying
Like distance that leads to star,
Until by her smiling made holder,
said, twill bow at hef Feet,
But found Fates most infamous shoulder
Hek1 sway on that side of the street.
For was in love with mummy;
This fair, wingless angel of Earth
Was only dress-makers dummy,
Arrayed in the costume of Worth.

The new Suez Canal is proposed, not
as rival of the present, but to practically
increase its capacity. The canal now in
use is three hundred feet wide at the sur
face, but only one hundred feet at the
bottom, and not wide enough for vessels
to pass safely. The material dredged
out to make the ditch was heaped upon
its banks, so that to widen the canal
would require the moving of more earth
than to dig new one. A double canal
would be more convenient and safer
than single one of the necessary width,
because one ditch could be used for YES

WHAT LACK 1 YET.

EXPOSITION OF THIS TEXT ny REV. VI. W.
PRINCE AT TIE METROPOLITAN MEMORIAL
CHURCH.
At the Metropolitan Memorial NJ L. church
the morning sermon was preached by Rev.
VI. w. Prince, recently of the New Hampshire
and now of tho Maine conference, in which
he is now connected with the educational in
tcrcsts of the church. Taking for his text
Matthew, xix, 9O-21-"What lack yctP And
Jesus answered: If thou wilt be perfect 20
and sell that thou hast and give to tho poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven and
come and follow ine"-ho said: This young
ruler of the Jews, II man of blanclcss moral
life, of high position, ofgrcat possessions, Camo
to tho divine teacher evidently with the idea
that by some one great act he might purchase
eternal life. And when the Saviour directed
him To keep Nthe commandments TO which
ho replied, "All these have | kept from my
youth. up he led him up to that final
request for instruction, "What lack | yet"
The SaviOur's answer, rs one havingauthority,
was n demand for unconditional and complete
surrender of all he had and of all he was to
him. The direction to sell all he had and
give to tho poor was by one who knew best
how to show the inquirer exactly what he
lacked to make him perfect in his allegiance
to the kingdom of God.
What was taken away might all have
been returned to him double, so that he
should havc lost nothing by the sur
render. The purpose of the direction
was certainly not to teach the rich that they
must impoversh themselves, but rather that
all men owe all they have and are to him who
gave IL all. They may learn that it is not a
task but privilege to follow him who though
he was rich became poor that we through his
poverty might become rich The young man
was staggered by the reply, and not then will
ing TO renounce his self control and follow as
disciple, he went away sorrowlul. Whether
he aftcrward repented and went to jesus we
know not. Perhaps he did.
There is no warrant for the declaration that
this answering conduct was permanent, and
that he was lost. OF this fact there is cer-
tainly abundant evidence that many who make
and decision as he did then, do not after
ward repent, but grow more and more apart
from the divine government and continue in
revolt to the last. The lesson of tho incident
| is that differentiation is expected of the
soul to God that the Creator and Saviour OF
men considers that man honOrs himself by
selG-rcnunclation, and accepting and obeying
! the direction of the divine commandments.

DelectIvo Armor for Vessels.

The secretary of the navy sent request to,
congress on Saturday for an appropriation Of
500, 900 to enable the naval advisory board to
conduct certain experiments with reference
to defective armor for vessels in furtherance
of the provisions of the act of August 8, 1882,
authorizing the construction of two steel
cruisers for the navy. In this act is the
following clause:
The secretary Of the navy is hereby authorized
to cause the said cruising vessels of war aforesaid
TO be provided with interior defective steel amor,
If the same, upon full investigation shall seem TO
be practicable and desirable, and If the same shall
be approved by said board or a majority thereofin
writing.
The naval advisory board has made a care
full study Of this important and somewhat
novel feature of naval armament, and is so
well convinced that further study and expert
ment will develop great merit in it that it has
asked for the small appropriation mentioned
to enable it to continue its inquiry. Com.
Shufeldt, president of the board, says in note
| to the secretary of the navy on the subject:
| The board having examined the plans sub
| mtted on the 30 inst. by N. b. Clark, passed as
slstant engineer, United States navy Uetlred), for
DETECTING turrets for monitors, desires that before
making recommendations for the turret armament
and protection of the monitors of the Miantono.
| moh class. opportunity may be afforded for iull
investigation of the praccability OF these designs
| Mr. ClArk's plans embody features that are novel
and entitle them TO thorough experimental tests
| and these tests, while determining the absolute
| value of the type of turret would also be OF the
greatest value in periecting the manu-
| mcture of such material as in any event IL
absolutely necessary for steel deck plating The
lack of experiments upon defective armor except
ing few Isolated and not entirely favorable tests
makes it of the greatest importance that the board
| should have the result of such experiments as
| could be easily made, Since the turTets submitted
are claimed to be applicable 10 monitors, the ex

should demonstrate the value of armor arranged

nary cylindrical disposition and as thirteen inches

cylindrical type, Clark's turrets should therefore
give efficient protection against projeciles actu-
ated by force sufficient to pierce thirteen-inch
