These clippers were specially built
for the tea trade, and many a cargo

Is the Chinese dragon. Each side Of the

Take Care Of the Manure.
Thomas D Baird In Southern Cultivator.
It has been said that manure was
my politics. I am pleased to be SO
complimented, for political politics
well followed is filled with reefs, DIS
appointments aid ruin. Not so
with mc IRE. Themo- eve talk of it
the more we think of it; the more we
think of it the more interest we take
in it; and the more interest we take
in it the more We will try to accumu-
late and save; and tie mo. e we have
the better crops we raise; and the
better crops We raise the e~asie-:, bet

One of the main reasons why farm
ing does not pay is the negect of
making, saving and applying such
manure The first thing the farmer
wants after raising in the morning is
something to eat, and he would do
but little through the day without
food. Just SO with your soil, ii must
be fed before it should be expected
to peforh its labor of supporting q
crop. The farmer forces his land to
grow crops yea afte- year without
food, and then complains that it does
not pro, uce enough to pay for the
co, clrsiol. The farmer must re-

stead none is needlessly neglected
and wasted. In fact the great M
jority Of farmers do not consider the
manure pile as a crop. It is only the
Incidental by product left from the
result of farm operations, and they
are entitled to great c'edit if they
make profitable use of it. But is a
crop SUI ceptible of being worked
and will grow both in bulk and
quality, acco- ding to the degree of
labor and care bestowed upon it.
In a general way farmers under

Els Memorable Journey to the Holy
Land and Other Old World Regions.
BROOKLYN, Sept 28.-In the Brook
lyn Academy Of Music today DR.. Tai
mage began a series Of sermons on his
recent journey to the Holy Land The
subject Of today's sermon was, My
First Day In Palestine" After appro-
pirate passages Of Scripture were read
the congregation sang with great spirit:
We praise thee, o God, for the Son of thy love.
For Jesus who died and Is now gone above.
The text was I Kings x, z: 1.-THE
half was not told me-"
This is the first sermon In a course OF
Sabbath morning sermon on My Re-
cent Journey Through the Holy Land
and Neighboring Countries: What l
Saw and What I Learned" Out of
the sixty-four millions Of u present
American population and the millions
of our past only about five thousand
have ever visited theSHoly Land. OF
all those who cross to Europe less than
S per cent. ever get as far as Rome,
and less than 2 per cent. ever get to
Athens, and less than q quarter of l
per cent ever get to Palestine. OF the
less than a quarter Of 1 per cent. who do
90 to the Holy Land some see nothing
but the poxious insects and the filth OF
the Oriental cities, and come back
wishing they had neyer gone. OF those
who see much of interest and come
home only a small portion can tell what
they have seen, the tongue unable to
report the eye.
The rarity Of a successful, intelligent
and happy journey through the Holy
Land is very marked. But the time
approaches when a journey to Palestine
win be common Thousands will go
where now there are scores. Two loco
motives were recently sent up from
Joppa to Jerusalem, and railroads are
about to begin In Palestine, and the
day viii come when the cry will be,

the shore began more clearly to reveal

the anchor dropped in the roadstead a
half mile from hand, for though Joppa
Is the only harbor of Palestine it is the
worst harbor on all the coasts. Some
times for weeks no ship stops there.
Between rocks about seventy-fye feet
apart q small boat must take the pas
sengers ashore. The depths are strewn
with the skeletons of those who have
attempted to land or attempted to en-
bark. Twenty-seven pilgrims persisted
with one crash Of a boat against the
rocks. Whole fleets of Crusaders, of
Romans, ofsyrians, of Egyptians have
gone to sp~lintes there. A writer eight
hundred years ago said he stood on the
beach in a storm at Joppa, and out Of
thirty ships ali but seven went to pieces
on the rocks, and a thousand Of the
dead were washed ashore.

CARRYING HIS BED.
What is that man doing7" I said to
the dragoman In the streets Of Joppa.
"Oh, he is carrying his bed" Multi
tudes of people sleep out of doors, and
that Is the way SO many In those lands
become blind. 1t is from the dew Of
the night falling on the eyelids. AS a
result of this, in Egypt every twentieth
person is totally blind. In Oriental
lands the bed is made Of a thin small
mattress, a blanket~and a pillow, and
when the man Uses in the morning he
Just ties ~ the three into a bundle and
shoulders it and takes it away. 1t was
to that the Saviour referred when he
said to the sick man, Take up thy bed
and walk" An American couch or an
English couch would require at least
four men to carry it, but one Oriental
can easily manage his slumber equip
ment.
THE TANNERIES OF JoPPA-
But / inhale some of the odors Of the
large tanneries around Joppa. It is
there to this day, a prosperous bust
ness, this tanning OF hides. And that
reminds me of Simon, the tanner, who
lived at Joppa and was the host OF
Peter, the apostle. l suppose the OIL
factories of Peter were as easily in
suited by the odors of a tannery Is
others. But the Bible says, HE lodged
with n Simon, the tanner" People
who 60 out to do reformatory and mis-
sionary and Christian work must not be
too sensitive. Simon no doubt brought
to his homestead every night the NAL
odors of the calfskins and ox hides in
his tannery, but Peter lodged in that
home, not only because he may not
have been invited TO the houses Of
merchant princes surrounded by redo
lent gardens, but to teach all men and
women engaged In trying to make the
world better that they must not be
suueamish and fastidious and f1nical

other event. In the Fifteenth century
GASP tho great event was the discov-
