The Largest Farm in the World.

In the extreme southwest corner of LOuisi-
ana lies the largest producing farm in the
world. Measuring 100 miles north and
south, and rs miles east and west. 1t is
owned and operated by a syndicate of
Northern capitalists. The 1000. 900 acres
of the tract were purchased in 1888 from
the State of Louisiana and from the United
States Government.
At that time it was a vast grazing land
for the cattle of the few dealers of the
neighborhOOd. OI or 80. 900 head of half wild
horses and cattle being thereon. Now this
immense tract is divided into convenient
pasture stations, or ranches, existing every
six miles. The fencing alone cost in the
neighborhood Of $50. 600. The land is best
adapted for rice, sugar. corn, and cotton.
All cultivating, ditching, ETC., is done by
steam power. A tract, say, half mile
wide. is taken. and an engine is placed on
each side. The engines are portable. and
operate cable attached to four plOughs.
and under this arrangement thirty acres
day are gone over with only the labor of
three men. Narrowing. planting and other
cultivation is done in like manner There
is not single draught horse on the entire
place.
OF course, horses are used for the herders
of cattle, of which there are 16. 600 head.
The Southern Pacific Railway runs for
thirty six miles through the farm. The COM
pany have three steamboats, operating on the
waters of their estates. of which there are
800 miles navigable. They have also an
icehOuse. bank. shipyard , and rice
mill.-Spare Moments.

SUNDAY Services.

Rev.. H. Albert conducted the chapel services
He took for his text these words from the gospel
| by Matthew: Consider the lilies of the ield.''
He said that Jesus Christ was the first to send
men into the fields to study themselves by COM
parsons with the works of nature. and he likened
the growth of the lily to the soul-growth in man.
The lily has that hidden away within it that dis
tingushes it from other plants-that something
that it to say when it starts from the earth,
Il am going to be a lily" 1t is the same with
man-there is something within that says. 81 am
going to be man. and there is no power can
destroy it. 1t may be degraded, depraved and
brutalizd. but is still a man-not BRUTE
We preach Christ and advise men to model their
lives after His. Christ usually spoke of himself
as 1.-THE man." We have all heard of that famous
picture called THE Angelus." If you to visit
the gallery in Paris where this great painting is
kept you would find it spoken of in the catalogue
as 1.-The Angelus." 1t is called 1.-The Angelus' be.
there other picture like it in the whole
world. Jesus Christ is the only example have
of fully developed man. He is a perfect man
and it is through His example that it revealed to
us what grand beings we may aspire to become.
Christ called the Son of God, and we
called the sons of God-joint heirs with Christ.
Men say they can be just good men without
Christ with Him, but they cannot. You cannot be
perfect until you become like Him; or, in other
words, you can only grow in perfection by follow
ing His example. Man must take advantage OF
every opportunity that is given HIM if he wishes
to grow Christ-like The lily is Away busy. 1t
gathers the exact material from the earth and
atmosphere that it needs to make itself perfect
lily. Man to grow like Christ must make of
every opportunity to gather the things that will
assist that growing process. Man can mere
grow in perfection without earnest dilgent work
than the lily can become perfect flower unless it
makes use of all the materials required to make
a perfect lily. The one object to which all
our efforts and everything earth should be
directed is soul.grOwth.

A Question:.

The discussion of heredty and environ
ment in relation to crime is bearing good
fruit, and should be prosecuted as much in
benovelence to the criminal as for the pro-
lection of society. There are cases where
theft is almost eXcusable. But law is law,
and the result is that now and then man
in prison is really as innocent as the best of
the twelve that sent him there. This is
unavoidable under human administration.
Is it not reasonable to inquire: Might not
the doctrine of innocence until guilt is
proved be extended in its reach? One may
take life unlawfully. and not be murderer;
be found drunk. though not drunkard; or
initiate signature. without being fOrger.
Judges and juries recognize this and often
act accordingly.
Though human law cannot discern or
discriminate. is there not such thing as
involuntary crime? Without exposing him.
self to the charge of sentimentaliSm. may
one not say that man may steal and not
be branded as a thief?
Reform schools for the young and reform
atory prisons for grown persons have been
experimenting with great success. all things
considered. They afford way out from
the wretched surroundings that educate in
criminal ways; the reform schools giving
the boys and girls chance for improve
ment. and the refOrmatOry prisons encour-
aging the adults who have not gone too far
to wheel about and take the right track.
Society is too ready in saying. pract cally,
''once thief always a thief What then
of its habitually confounding the deliberate
with the thOughtless or the accidental in
criminal conduct? There are distinctions;
why not acknowledge them and study them?

1--WE Are Very SOrry.o

A couple weeks ago supposed diamond

York. It appears that Commodore Bate

around the world in his yacht Coronet ar
rived at bis palatial residence in that city
the evening previous to the occurrence which
we are about to relate. With the party was
Miss Louise Lachat who had accompanied
Mrs. Bateman and her children as ladies
maid to France where the Commodore
awaited them. Amongst Mrs. Bateman's
belongings was of course her jewel case the
key of which she always kept herself, and
no one except herself and her maid Louise
was allowed access to the box. On the
morning of the occurrence Mrs. B. sent her
maid to the box for some letters which were
promptly delivered together with the key.
In the evening she had occasion to open the
bureau herself only to find two beautiful
necklaces and diamond pendant which she
wore in Europe and which were valued at
