THERE Is some thought of publishing
the daily maps of the recent storm on n
large scale for use in schools and col
leges. 1t was typical storm, its
growth and movement illustrating the
laws of atmospheric disturbance, in a
way very seldom seen in actual observa-
ton. Its outlines spread gradually in
nearly perfect circle, its progress, day
by day, was by almost exactly even
stage, and its rain area was defined by
lines on which weather science has
based its pet laws of precipitation.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

with that Of its public schools. They
are the unerring baromctcrs that fore.

standing Of community. 1t was hard
for the South at first to realize this.
There were enough private schools and
academies ior the children of those who
could afford to patronize them. AS for
the rest what did it matter: They were
better off without an education. 1t
would unfit them for their altered sta

argument.

A SUNDAY SERMON.
DR.. RANkIN'S TALK AT THE

The Attention Of the Audience IL
Held by the Pastor with His
Eloquent Address From the
Text, Fools Make
Mock at Sin.

"S~~ 80 SAsAs
Rev. DR.. Rankin preached to an i'm
mensc congregation at the Central M
L. church, South, yesterday morning
His text was, "Fools Make a Mock a
SIM" Proverbs 14-9.
"In the common scriptural acceptanc
of the tcrm," sail the speaker, "a fool il

Psalmist tells us the fool has said, 'Thcr,

vine existence for intelligent men to deny
that there is God. He may not be m,

who elicits some homage from all.
"People who tampcr with sin are fool

that makes no effort, and goes through

right and with perfect harmony of intel

element and disturbed all this har
mony. That is what sin is doing to-
day. It's purpose and work is to disor
ganize and dcmoralizc. Sin curtails
our destiny. If God has given us world
like this we are led to infer that it i.
only the vestibule to higher state o
being. The life above is the complement
OF this life. Sin breaks into this and
brings us down to the level of brute.

the contradiction Of everything that they

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Many heart today is beating with fond
anticipation and looking forward with eager
hopes to the happy reunion Of loved ones
around the festive board on Thanksgiving
Day.
What plans have been laid What invita-
tions sent and accepted! What changes
have taken place in hearts and lives Un-
kind words are forgotten. Wrongs are for
given. arrangements melt into old friend
ships. Students stream home from college
aud school.
Teachers throw off their stiffness and be-
come young again. Tradesmen lay their
tools aside. Shop girls forget their custo-
mers, as the old homestead on the hillside
rises to their view. Stranger young men
think Of the loved ones far away and feel
the heart throb with memories Of other days.
Surely, this is time to be as one. Yea,
surer we ought to be as the One.
Yet many are the poor ones without q
home. Many are the sorrowing ones with
whose eyes are fixed on O future Thanks
giving on high. May somebody's Thanks
giving be happier because Of ours! May
some poor, friendless one find in each OF US a
friend! Through us, may some sad heart be
made 10 smile. May blessing find lis way,
through us, to many home!
How memory carries us back to other days
and other scenes, when we gathered before
the blazing log fire In our country home, and
told our stories and burned our nuts, aud
listened to the voices of the loved ones long
since silent! Let heart and life and being
be song of thanksgiving to the Great
Father, the giver of every good and perfect
gitt. 20 praise the Lord, all ye nations;
praise him all ye people. For bis merciful
kindness is great toward us. Praise ye the
Lord"

English Walnuts and Almonds.

The so-called English walnut is begin
ming to be raised on an extensive scale in
the United States and the cultivation
promises also to be large industry in
the very distant future. MADEIRA nuts,
as they should be called, are grown
IN Spain and Portugal and especially on
the island of Madeira. The nuts reach
this country through British hands, and
it is for this reason that they are known
here as English walnuts. The trees grow
and bear excellently in this country. 1
know of one in this city, on Eleventh
street near NJ. But it is in California
the business of raising them has arrived
at Importance. In the southern part OF
that State, particularly in the neighbor-
hood of Los Angeles, thousands of tons
of the finest varieties are produced by
great plantations originally started from
seed. In New Mexico, Arizona and south
west Texas Madeira nuts do exccllently
also. They must have rich land.
California is also producing almonds on
an immense scale. One man in that State
has nearly two square miles planted with
the trees Of this nut. Almonds grow as
well in California as anywhere, and they
will eventually drive out the foreign
product altogether. They will not do
we'll cast of the Rockies, and our supply
of the future will be drawn entirely from
California, though it may be that south
west Texas will prove suitable for their
cultivation also.
