Backed His Cow and Won.

People In Oakland County. Michigan, are
discussing a novel race which occurred on
the race track at Pontiac between cow and
q horse. The race originated IN 8 banter
between two neighbors. Edward White and
Joseph Russell, residents OF Waterford
Township. White is the owner OF q hlgh
grade Durham COW, nine years old, and
about four weeks ago he began to drive ner
TO n cart, She soon developed startling
qualities, and many owners OF good horses
who tried to pass White have had to take
dust from the boNne's hoof. One day Russell
attempted to pass White with his sorrel mare.
This led to words. and finally White oee
Russell $50 that tho COW could beat the morse
In half mile trot or half mile walk. Rus
sell accepted the bet, and the money was put
nm The COW was somewhat confused by
the shouts of tho crowd aud the otherwise
striking contrast with her familiar haunts,
but she easily won the half mile walk in
seven minutes, the horse being a minute
hehind nt the wire. The half mile trot was
also won by the COW without m ef.
fort in 3.07. White was saving up his
cows wind for the race against time, which
he had advertised as the closing feature.
His shepherd dog. which kept close behind
the cart and seemed TO feel weight o! re-
sponslbility in the race, was expected as a
last resort 10 bite the cows heels. This
proved necessary in the race with the horse,
and the dog refused to do his pa-t In the
race against time. White claimed, however,
she has trotted quarter at a four-minute
gait on q country road and promises to lower
that with q few weeks training. The COW
was driven with regular harness and bil
and never made n break.

WHAT rs YOUR SOUL WORTH?

Have you ever tried to estimate its value2
This is great problem, and Christ himself
has submitted it to you, that you may exer-
else your thoughts upon it for your own
profit. How shall we compute the value Of
the soul? All our ordinary modes Of valu-
alton fail US. You cannot set it over against
houses o, Vands, silver or gold. Like the
wisdom spS zen Of in Scripture lit cannot be
valued with the gold of Ophir, with the
precious onyx, or the sapphire. The gold
and the crystal cannot equal it; and the ex-
change OF it shall not be for jewels or fine
gold" No, all such methods of valuation
are rude and superficial, and they fail to
touch the real paint at issue. The
intrinsic worth OF four soul to you
as an individual, IS to be- estt-
mated very much by its capacity on
the one hand for happiness, and on the other
for misery-by the blessedness to which 1t
may attain, of the despair and gloom to
which it may descend land this for moment
nor for passing day or year, but on the
scale of an eternal existence. If you lose
your soul it will not be by annihilation. tits
in its very nature an eternal possession. II you
lose your soul twill be by its nheriting for its
portion forever, despair instead Of hope
sorrow instead of Joy. What then is your
soul worth2 Will you not ponder this ques-
ton, till the great realities which 1t involves
open upon your mind? Rest assured, that
YOU can very saIeiy drop some Of the petty
questions which now occupy your thoughts
for calm .tu.ycontinued meditation upon tits.

A High Honor.

Charles Shartow, of Omaha, Neb.,
has had great honor conferred upon
him by Kaiser Wilhelm. The Kaiser
has sent him an official letter inviting
him to visit Germany at the imperial
expense. The letter recalls to Schar-
tow's memory day, August 16, 1870,
when the Prussian army was battling
with the French at Mars la Tour, and
a mitrailleuse stationed on hill was
decimating the German ranks. Near
ly $50 men had fallen under its dead
" fire, and it was necessary that the
gun should be captured, or the Ger
mans could not hold their position.
To charge the battery meant almost
certain death, and volunteers were
called for. Fifteen men went up the
hill. The gun was captured and
silenced, but only three men came
back from the deadly assault, AMI one
of them was Schartow.-New Orleans

Aluminium Shoe Nails.

On the late visit OF Prince Bismarck
to the Emperor, the latter called the
attention of the ex.Chancellor to the
improvements made in the boots of
the Prussian infantry. This consisted
in the displacement of the old
fashioned steel nails by nails from
aluminium, which is much lighter and
more durable. The extra weight
under the sole of the foot imposed by
the heavy nails formerly worn, and
the added weight consequent upon
the clogging mud in nasty weather,
made a great and needless extra
amount of muscular expenditure neces'
sary. The new arrangement will per

CHRISTIANS THAT SHINE.

It is almost impossible to- expect conver-
sions in some families, says DR.. Cuyler In the
Evangelist. The light that ought to shine
there has well-nigh died into darkness. The
oil has given out. Worldliness and selfish
ness have almost extinguished the love of
Christ, and when Christ Is no longer loved,
his commandments are no longer kept. Spir-
itual declension comes from lack or loss OF
love and loyalty to Jesus In the heart When
your soul is on fire with the love Of your Mas
terand your fellowmen,y you will glow ands
unconsciously. The most effective good which
the majority OF genuine Christians accomplish
is not by occasional Especial efforts" but by
the steady, daily reflection Of Jesus Christ In
their ordinary walk and conversation. To
preach sermon, to conduct prayer meet
Ing, to teach mission class or to visit sick
and poverty-stricken family, is premedi-
tated act Of lamp bearing. But to live right
straight along, every day, ,refecting the Spirit
Of Christ distinctly in the home. in the shop,
in the store, in the social life, and In the dut-
les of good citizenship and everywhere else,
is just 'letting your light shine" Of its own
sweet will. That is habitual religion; 1t
worships God not on Sunday, but all
the week. Oh, what an aching want
there is Of more of this in the every
day lives OF too many church members2
However fuently Brother A. may speak
in the prayer-meeting, or however brightly
Mrs. B. may shine in the Maternal As

CALIFORNIA-NEW MEXICO.
What Webster's Idea Was and What
the Two Countries Are.

Senator Sargent, of California, once
made the following speech in the United
States senate. in regard to New Mexico:
A doubt with reference to the resources
of New Mexico would seem to be hardly
plausible. New Mexico has peculiar ad-
vantages for wealth. 1t is great pastoral
country. OF that there can be no doubt;
and it has enormo Gus wealth in the way of
cattle and sheep. But New Mexico is
something like California in one respect.
If l nm not mistaken, Daniel Webster, in
discussing the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, by which California became a
part OF the territory of the United States,
said it was land of rocks and deserts
with rattlesnakes enough to fence it.
Whether he ever said that or not, 1 do
not know; have never sought to verify
it, but it is popularly believed that that
was the estimate put upon California by
Daniel Webster.
mitted into the Union, in 1850, and l
know the estimate among our town peo-
pie at that time was that we had no agri-
cultural capacity, or very slight. The
idea of raising fruit in the mountains
would have been considered absurd, and
was so for a number of years after | went
there, until the first experiment was
timidy tried, and the hills then blossomed
with fruit trees at once, bearing most
magnificent and luxurious fruit. Our
valleys we're supposed to be sterile, to be
impossible of cultivation; and yet now
we are feeding Europe; we are beating
Russia in the markets of Liverpool with
the wheat which we send around the Horn,
the product of our great valleys which
were considered so sterile; and very much
the same conditions exist in New Mexico.
We do it partially by irrigation; we do it
partially by differently alternating seasons.
The vast crop of a single year is enough
to enrich the state for five, so teeming is
the luxuriance. We can garner in our
granaries as they did in Egypt in the old
times against seasons of drought or per-
iods of slackness of trade, and wait for
the markets of the world. The same con-
ditions exist in a very large degree in
New Mexico. They have these vast plains.
They have occasional seasons of heavy
rains. They have their mountains gar
nering their snow, with the opportunity
for irrigation, as we have in California.
OF course the great agricultural resources
are confined principally to the valleys,
but the valleys are broad and extensive.
The country, nave no doubt, is adapted
to fruit raising, as is California. The
mountains are scanned with valuable re-
sources of minerals, with coal and the
precious metals, giving promise by and
by of enormous development, as our peo-
pie shall pour in there.
