Will the negroes never learn

committed by negro men upon
unprotected girls, and women, in

are still at largo, and in the last

the negroes would have learned,

Raising Crops by Electricity.

A practical, scientific use of
electricity is made in France to
stimulate the growth and increase
the product of iield crops. An ap-
paratus which has been successful
ly used is called tie geomagpeti'
fer, and consists of high pole set
up in the field where the POTATOES
or other crops are growing. 1t
supports an insulated head of
galvanized iron, which terminates
in the air in a sort of plcxus of
points and branches made of cop
per. This collector of electricity
communicates by wire with a
network of other wires. which
r.mify through the earth around
the foot of the pole, and among the
growing roots, beets, cabbages,
potatoes or other crop buried deep
enough to be out Of the way in cul-
tivating the crop.
1t is found by experience that
this apparatus collects the electri-
city which always exists in the
atmosphere, and which is made
especially manifest by storms,
rain, wind, &C., and trensmits it to
the earth and the stratum of air
nearest the earth. The resulting
stimulus to the crop is very marked
In one test within superficial
area of 80 meters the potato yield,
in proportion to the yield of ad-
joining areas not electrically
stimulated, was as 81 to 60. An
other report showed 69 Kilograms
of putatoes, as against IS kilo-
grams grown nnder ordinary con-
ditions. Other root crops and

aged fifteen years, eight months, and
eleven days. The eldest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Swearingen, she
was Joy shedding light on all around
her, as she met each duty promptly.
It was so at school, where she was
eyer a favorite. Her excellence there
was attained by diligence in study,
and good department.. At Sabbath
school.she was faithful lattendant,and
loved to sing the songs of praise. She
loved to read Talmage's sermons, and
sometimes read aloud to the family.
Sometime before her death she
dreamed of going to heaven and see
ing loved ones gone before. She
thought if heaven was like her dream
represented, it was a fairer place than
earth. Her young life on earth is end
ed, but she has gone to "the house not
made with hands, eternal in the
heaven" Her place on earth is vacant,
and we miss her bright, gentle smile,
but she is free from sorrow, pain, and
parting IN the land beyond the stars.
owe knew that the pearly gate of bliss
for her had swung ajar,
That her ear had caught the angelic
strains from the beautiful land afar,
Though we saw not the white wings
unfolded to take the upward flight,
Out of this world of sorrow, to the
painless fields of light,
Yet we know the Savior called her up
to his loving arms,
Shielded safe forever from care and
woe and harm,
BY faith we behold her safe in the ten
der Shepherds ar, scar: care, ], ...o ..,,,,
now an angel bright and fair.
But we bend in meek submission to
our Fathers Christening hand,
Though in human meekness we can
not understand.
But when our tired feet from earth's
time-worn path may rest,
Then will we see and understand
that what God does is best"
