There is such a book in existence at the
present time The letter of it is called
the Bible. 1t cannot be read casually,
and with its literal covering, any more
than we can obtain food from the animal
without removing his fur.
.sI.et us turn back the wheels of time
for moment and we stand before the
oldest nation of which We have any re-
corded history. 1t is Egypt, 1927 years
b. c., and as we look we see covering
building, obelisk and pyramind a host of
strange figures. They are hleroglyphs
and are the Oldest testimonials OF SYM
bolism. If the Egyptian scribe wished
to record thought he drew picture OF
a BIRD A beautiful thought was indicat-
ed by an equally resplendent fowl, while
a rude conception was shown by an owl,
or bat or vulture. This is the true
science of coirespondences. Everything
in value corr esponds with something in
the higher plane. the realm of man.
Moses is credited with having written the
first five books OF the Bible and we read
that he was learned in the lore OF the
Egyptians. He then wrote in the Ian
guage of symbolism.
"This teaches us that we should not
regard the Bible as a literal description.
The entire word of God is symbols par.
abolic, correspondential. By material
things the Creator teaches us of spiritual
things. Apply this SCIENCE of correspond
ence to the Bible and what do we find?

large part of the New Testament i given
to a minute history o: the Jewish people.
but in reality the entire history is meant
to convey truths OF o heavenly nature.
Much OF the Bible in a literal sense is
not Understandable. but there is not a let
ter that does not signify some spiritual
thing. The true test of the word of God
is found in the science of correspond
ences. There is not a. sentence farcical.

cannot be found divine truths ii one ap-

A paper devoted to the oil and paint
trade says: THE fax crop of 1894 is
now found to have amounted to only T.
100000 bushels, which is but little more
than one-half of the average crops Of
the four years preceding, and falls s.
100000 bushels below the crop Of 1893.
The largest crop was that of 1891, which
amounted to 10000 bushels. The
small crop Of the past year would have
caused scarcity but for the large i'm
portations of Calcutta seed, and this
has also prevented an increase in prices
which the smaller supply of domestic
seed otherwise warranted. At the close
of the crop year the price for cash seed
at Chicago, while lower than a year
ago, was higher than at the close Of
either of the three preceding years,
but at the close Of the crop year Of 1889
80, and on the eve of then almost un-
precedentedly large crop, the price was
nearly IL per cent higher. This may
be taken as indicating the influence of
free imports Of foreign seeds. AS to
the crop of 1895 estimates vary greatly.
but 1t appears to be conceded that 1t
will exceed 100000 bushels"

THE BIRTH OF THE OPAL.

The sunbeam loved the moonheam,
And followed her low and high,
But the moonbeam fed and hid her
head
She was SO shy, so shy,
The sunbeam wooed with passion,
All! he was a lover bold,
And his heart was atire with q mad
desire
For the moonbeam pale and cold.
She fed like dream before him,
HeI hair was shining sheen;
And oh that fate would annihilate
The space that lay betweeni
Just as the day lay painting
In the arms of the twilight dim.
The sunbeam caught the one he sought
And drew her close to him.
And out of his warm arms startled,
And stirred by loves first shock,
She sprang, afraid, like a trembling
maid,
And hid in niche of rock.
And the sunbeam followed and found
her.
And led her to loves own feast;
And they were wed on that rocky bed,
And the dying day was their priest,
And To- the beautiful opal.
That rare and wondrous gem,
Where the moon and sun blend into
one,
Is the child that was born to them.

Considerable interest is being aroused
in England by suggestion to adopt
the metric system Of weights and meas
ures instead Of the intricate methods
now In use. The same applies with
equal force to the United States. We
have taken one step in advance of Eng
land in having put our money on the
decimal system. and we should follow
1t up by adopting the metric system
throughout. Congress has already put
its official seal on the metric system.
which is more than can be said of the
old systems. People, however, still
cling to the old methods, because they
can not be dispensed with except by a
concerted movement. The people are
in favor Of the change, on account of
the increased simplicity OF all meas
ures of quantity under the metric sys-
tenn. Most Of the European countries
have adopted the decimal system
When the change was made it was by
the government setting day when the
old measures and weights were To
cease and the new ones we're to come
into vogue. After period Of grace
those found using the old systems were
fined. Thus the old order passed, and
the new came into use. Americans
want the metric (decimaD system.

HOW SHE WAS REWARDED.
BY NJ. Il. stafford.

1t was beautiful spring morning.
In the middle of a large shaded ward
stood low, rambling farm house
The neat walk leading To the front
gate was bordered with flowers, lilies,
roses, masses of modest old-fashioned
ANNALS, all bloom and scenting the
morning air with delightful perfume.
Along the walk an elderly woman,
Mrs. Markham, the mistress of the
house and yard, wandered. bending aid
niringly over the flowers, and occa-
slonally touching them with loving
hands.
She was evidently attired for "trip.
and her dress was quaint and old.
timed. Presently she turned and lift
ed tear-dimmed eyes from the flowers,
as comfortable little wagon driven
by an old man, her husband, drove
up to the gate.
Are you ready. mother:" he asked
gently as he looked into her face and
saw her efforts To hide the tears.
Yes" she answered. Il was only
looking at Annie's flowers, while /
waited for you
You love the flowers as much as
Annie did" he said. as slipping the
reins over his arm, he came and open
ed the gate for his wife to pass out.
Yes. she answered again. land be-

said, when his wife had been lifted to
her seat beside him In the wagon

1t will all come right in the end

the reins and laid tenderly upon hers.

and in silence they drove on.
Annie, of whom they spoke was
their only child, who had died a few
months previous: Just as she had
grown into womanhood To-day the
old people were going into the neigh
boring city to do some necessary shop

This year the Swiss government has
made a new departure in the way of
monopolizing manufacture. 1t has de-
clared the making Of matches federal
exclusive right. The gains derived
therefrom will not go into the federal
treasury, but will be expended. first.
toward improving the manufacture Of
matches, and, second, to reduce as
much as possible their selling price.
The use of yellow phosphorus in the
manufacture of matches is prohibited,
because it is injurious to the health of
the workmen employed in match fac
tories, and because 1t is, in many ways,
dangerous to the public. The sale Of
matches in retail way will be open
to all, subject, however, to such re-
strictive regulations as will prevent
misuse, the government supplying the
retail trade exclusively. Federal legis-
lation will regulate the traffic.

The owners OF the Defender mani
fest confidence in the power Of their
boat to contest creditably and, prob
ably. successfully, with the fieetest YES
sells that Europe can produce. 1t is
their intention to sail her in the waters
of the English Channel and the Medi-
terranean Sea, and to compete in all the
French and English races that are open
to foreign craft. 1t is to be hoped that
the Defender will meet valkyrie III. on
her own cruising grounds, and that the
contest may be unmarried by accident.
The American belief is that the Defend
er can outsail the Valkyrie, or any
other yacht, on any course and in any
weather. Nothing will be more graft
flying than proof positive of the sound
ness of that belief. The confidence of
the owners of the Defender is shared
by all their countrymen, and their reso-
luton is approved by all.
