of laws written in our members for our highest
good. In these materialistic days we wish to
prove to the young people that Gods Bible
laws always confirm and emphasize His natural
laws. If it is Of great advantage that I'D the pub
lie schools of the nation strong emphasis is laid
upon Gods natural laws against the use of brain
poisons can it be of less advantage to accentu-

in Sunday school? A curious Commentary
upon the practical value of our Sunday schools
it would be, TO let the secularists outrun the
Sunday schools in ethical value along the line
of greatest temptation and least resistance in
the life of the average young American
The public school must teach him these les
sons that forewarn; the Sunday school may;
the public fchool must do his five davs In
every week; the Sunday school may one day in
seven. and that day holy unto the God who
can only be worshiped out of the perceptions
OF a clear brain ana the tervor of apure heart
Making these lessons simply optional has not
worked well. Like certain other laws wot Of
it has been too local and too optional" Each
Sunday school decides for itself; the Sunday
school publishers have the review to provide
for and anything else coming on that day is
mortgaged to defeat. No publisher knows
what school will elect the review. what one the
mission, OF what one the temperance lesson.

A REPORT has come that King Leo
pold of Belgium may soon visit the
United States with view to securing
financial support for the development of
his Congo dominion. There is an album
dance of capital in this country ready
for any promising investments, and that
it might be willing to become interested
in African enterprises is not improbable.
The suggestion of the plan shows how
completely the conquest Of Africa is be-
coming avowedly commercial rather
than philanthropic, as it has nominally
been heretofore.

THE London Miller says that the i'm.
portation of American -four into the

and that this is an item OF greater mo-

population of China, according to the
latest official statistics, is $50, 001 900.
In correction OF the oft-repeated as-
| sertion that sugar costs the people Of
this country more per capita than flour,
o dealer of Now York writes to the
Economist that the average consumption
Of sugar per capita was last year, about
ffty-one pounds, and the retail cost was
probably not over 81. The average con-
sumption Of -four per capita Is one barrel
per annum, and the average price to the
consumer was $3.50 to SO.
A VERY prominent Western firm, one
OF tho four or five largest in the United
States, has begun making its own Ink.
It does this because 1t can get what it
needs with more certainty and more
evenness than If obtained elsewhere,
and the cost Is loss. It formerly bought
from an excellent manufacturer at fifty
per cent. discount. One Of the greatest
drawbacks about the trade is that per-
fectly oven Ink is difficult to get. Prices
are not regulated by cost Of production,
and cheaper Ink sometimes gives bet
ter results than q costlier.
THE most Important discovery in Can.
ada during the past few years is un-
doubleday the immense deposit Of car
Donate Of limo, and cement clay imme-
diately underlying it, in the county Of
Grey. This carbonate of lime Is purer
than the European chalk. The clay Is
much the same as the celebrated Med
way clay, and contains stxty-two per
cent. Of soluble silica. In Germany the
raw material costs one dollar and seven
ty-five cents per ton at the factories. At
this Canadtsn mine, or deposit, the
crude material can be placed at the
factory door at cost Of twenty-five
cents per ton.
AN authority on cigars and tobacco
returned from Key West and Cuba saws
that the output from Key West of cigars
this year will be 90, oOO, 900. Some years
ago. he says, Connecticut seed leaf was
regarded by domestic manufacturers, and
even by some in Key West, as standing
next to Havana leaf for cigar wrappers.
1t brought high price. But the Con-
necticut to3acco farmers have killed
their tobacco goose in a queer way.
They used for some years certain kinds
OF manure which gave the tobacco q
luxuriant growth, but developed certain
weaknesses in the product which manu-
facturers now say make 1t unfit for q
wrapper. For that reason tho mana
facturors import their wrappers from
Sumatra. The Connecticut tobacco has
deprecated at least fifty per cent.
through an unskillful use of manures.

THE Kansas board of railroad commits
sioners have received a petition signed
by 10000 farmers of central Kansas ask
ing for lower rates to the Missouri river
on farm products. The commissioners
will hear the complaint on May 20 and
it is to be hoped that they will decide in
favor Of the farmers. The freight rates
from Kansas points to the Missouri
river are excessively high on corn,
wheat, oats, hogs, cattle and other farm
products. In helping the Kansas far
mers the railroad commissioners will
also be helping consumers. The. rail-
road companies should be compelled to
be satisfied with a fair rate and when
they charge exorbitant rates the COM
missioners should exercise power which
is in their hands.

FRANKLIN, Pa, May 10.-Keller Mer-
Ram has been suspected by his wife for
several months of being unduly fam
iaar with the wife of a neighbor. Yes
terday she went through her husbands
pockets and found evidence of his guilt
in the shape OF q package of love-
letters written to her husband by the
woman.
She confronted him with these and
he confessed. She then threatened to
expose his misdeeds, and he, rather
than face his neighbors, secured a re-
volver and sent bullet into his brain.
His partner in crime is said to be the
wife of merchant, and after his death
she tried to force her way into the
room where he lay, but was prevented
by her husband. The wronged mer-
chant will sue for a divorce. Merriam
