peculiar way of furnishing customers

hang out the pictures of such custom

The Hadleigh estate Of 800 acres,
purchased by Gen. Booth for sec, 900,
and on which he proposes to begin his
first Farm Colony for the relief Of
Darkest England" is admirably;
suited for his purpose, and market
gardeners pronounce it paradise for.
their products. 1t is also an admirable.
pasture land, sloping upward in
plateaus from the Thames, and will be
especially suited to the production Of
snail fruits. The ruins of Hadleigh
Castle, which are on this estate, have
long BET one. of the "show places" Of;
this part of England. The castle is a
relic of the thirteenth century, and
two towers and a portion of the
connecting wall are in tolerably good
preservation. 1t lis gratifying to know
that this interesting old ruin will be
preserved, and that some way will be-
devised by which the public may still
have convenient access to the hill on
which it stands.
For some two months men have
been at work getting the farm build
ings ready for occupancy, and it Is
now stated that the first industrial
factory is actually in operation.
This is for the manufacture of matches,
and three hundred people are employ
ed. 1t is in keeping with Gen. Booths
plans that u peculiar kind of match
Shall be made. In the using of
phosphorus for the ordinary lucifer
matches, there is liability to con tract
necrosis of the jaw bone. There is a
safety" match made which requires
but little phosphorus, and the work of
making it is not dangerous to the
health. These are the ones which are
to be produced at this factory. When
Gen. Booths scheme was first pro-
jected, a large number of people
pronounced it Utopian, but no one
who has studied the marvellous energy
of the man and his organizing and
administrative powers as exhibited in
his management Of the Salvation
Army, can doubt but that if his life
and health are spared he will make
something of it and give employment,
food and shelter to thousands of
homeless and starving people. We
shall watch the development of the
undertaking with very great interest.

Sen timeats on Various Subjects.
BY JOHN HEMMENWAY.

Any doctrine or practice that tends
to lead away from prayer and COED
life is bad doctrine and practice but;
any doctrine or practice that leads to-
prayer and good life is a good doc
trine and practice.
1t is not safe to live moment out Of:
a meek spirit.
We should look to God for help to-
keep us in a devout state of mind,
when we are out of the closet of prayer.
Christians, you should always re-
member that though you are in the
world, by the will of God, yet it is not
His will for you to be of the world.
Goodness, not greatness, in the Chris
tian life is everything.
The remembrance of dear Christian
friends far from US on earth, or in
heaven, gives peace and joy to the.
mind. "The righteous should be In
everlasting remembrance"
We should make it a rule when con-.
versing with person, to get good, and
to do good.
There is in this life no stopping
place to prayer, and no true Christians.
ever wishes to find stopping place
Prayer should be we'll mixed with all.
our labors.
1t is not safe to watch, pray and
strive against any particular tempta-
ton or sin to the neglect of any other
temptation or sin. This is like man
who should build one part of his house
very strong, and neglect all other
parts; such q manner of building
would render the house wholly unsafe
to dwell in. &
Humble prayer leads to holiness and
heaven. No prayer, no holiness, no:
heaven.
If we do not have true respect to
the commandments of God, we actual:
ly say, and by actions which speak
louder than words, "It is of no tm.s
portance whether we have respect to-
Gods commandments or not.n
We should in secret prayer try to-
realize that we are really talking TO;
God face to face, as Moses did on:
Mount Sinai, when he was alone with
God. 3:
1t is Ave, not dead love that is.

The New York Christian Advocate
uivrS uS tho following:

The New York Christian Advocate
gives us the following:
When Sarah Benhardt, the French
actress, whose genius has made her
famous, and whose moral character
and conduct have made her notorious ,
was in this city, Il lady was asked to
90 to see her, and declined the
Invitation. This caused all outburst :
"Why, Olive p, refuse that in
vitation to sec Sarah Bernhardt
and you such Il lover Of Delsarte
She is the perfect expression of that
system -
And this received a crushing reply ;
"She may be, but cannot wade
through mire even to behold Il per
feet expression A woman whose char
acter is wcll-known to be vile beyond
words, cannot sun herself in the pres
ence of even so small q light us is
mine."
1t is said that Mary Anderson, after
8 years experience on the stage, be-
coming Disguised, left it and now says
she will never enter the door of tho
theatre again. Many Il wonlan,' none
too good, are allowed to sun them
selves in the light of our kind-hearted
MethodiSts.

The Laws of War.

The laws of war are like the snakes
in Ireland. There are none. Mar
tial law, in the words of the Duke
of Wellington, is merely the will of the
General in command. He does
absolutely what he likes, so long as by
so doing he can permanently disable
his adversary and force him to sur
render. All he has to do to justify his
conduct, no matter how cruel and bar
barous that conduct may be, is to plead
military exigency, or the so-called law
of military reprisals, as his excuse

from Newport says the loss caused by
the explosion is larger than was at first

Tho repairs, which we're being made
to the steamer, were quito extensive,
and one hundred men and bows were
employed in and around the vessel when
the explosion occurred. Large pieces
of timber and iron from tho steamer
were blown with terrific force through
the air and some of them were hurlt d

HOW ASBESTuS is MINED.
Canada the Principal Source of Suppl
and It's OUTPUT,

Canada the Principal Source of Supply
and It's Output.
Mining is carried on by cutting down
the hills Of asbestus- bearing serpentine.
much as farmer cuts down n stack of
hay or straw. or by open quarrying on
the level. The rock is blasted out, and
the asbcstus, separated from the con-
tanning rock, is 'cobbed"-i. c., SEN
arated by hammering from adhering
foreign matter. This ''cobbine" is a
comparatively easy matter in the case
OF tho finer quality, as it usually sep
arates readily from the ganguo, but in
the lower grades much difficulty is OK
porienccd in separating the fbrous mat
ter from the non-fibrous. At best there
is great waste. Much Of the asbestus is
In thin or narrow veins, and is wasted,
ms by tho present mode of operating it
does not pay to separate this from the
serpentino. A machine that will enable
these narrow veins co be utilized il a
dosidcratum.
When 'cobbed," the asbestus is
graded according to purity, color and
length OF fiber into threo grades and
bagged for shipment The finest quality
or 'frsts' finds ready sales at prices
ranging from $50 to SllO per ton;
seconds" fetch from $50 to SO per ton;
while thirds" may DO valued at Sl3 to
Sl5 per ton. In good mines the yield of
asbostus is from throe to five per cent
OF the rock quarried and tho cost of
mining may DO put down at S25 to $50
per ton Returns obtained by tho Geo.
logical Survey of Canada show that, for
tho year 1888, Canada's output was 4. 404
tons, valued at the mines at S255, 600.
and this tho output of nino different
mines. observation-disclosures OF tho whole
was shipped to tao United States; small
quantities going to Great Britain, Ger.
many, Franco, Belgium and Italy, and
being used In domestic manufacturing.
