A Sure Reward for Right seeking.

Sure Reward for Right Seeking.
Gle that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh It shall be opened Matt
7:S)
The man who says he can't under
stand the Bible. has never tried to, for
IL promises to give light to all who truly
seek 1t. The probabilities are that he
has never made a careful and prayerful
study of single chapter. He has picked
IL up now and then, and read few
verses at random, but he has never hon
estly tried to find out what is in the
book. The truth is that he doesn't want
to understand the Bible. Men do not
understand books on mathematics or
music. or medicine. or anything else
that deals with truth, until they get In
earnest about it. and go about II right.
Men do not understand why corn
grows. but they have found out that
they will get a return for their labor If
they will plant the seed and comply
with certain conditions. The farmer is
no more certain to get his seed back
than any skeptic will be to find God and
the truth in the Bible, If he will put it
to an honest test. No man will have
any trouble about understanding the
Bible, who is willing to live as 1t tells
him to. When you find a man, there
fore, who claims that he is keeping out
of the church because he can't under
stand the Bible, you may know that he
is engaged in practices that the Bible
is opposed to. IF any man willeth TO
do his will. he shall know of the teach
ing, whether it be of God" Try this
much truth, and God will give you
more.

DIVISIBILITY OF TIME.
Calculations That Are Entirely Beyond
Our Conception.

Napoleon, who knew the value OF time
remarked that 1t was the quarter hours
that won battles. The value of minutes
has often been recognized, and any one
watching a railway clerk handing out
tickets and change during the last few
minutes available must have been
struck with how much could be done in
those small portions Of time. At the APP
pointed hour the train starts and by and
by is carrying passengers at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. In a second you are
carried twenty-nine yards. In one twen-
ty-ninth of a second you pass over one
yard. Now, one yard Is quite an appre-
ciable distance, but one twenty-ninth of
a second is period which cannot be APP
preciated. Yet II Is when we come 20
planetary and stellar motions that the
notion of the infinite dlvisibility of time
dawns upon US in a new light. 1t would
seem that no portion of time. however
microscopic, is unavailable. Nature can
perform prodigies, not certainly in less
than no time, but in portions of it so
minute as TO be altogether inconceiv-
able. The earth revolves upon he- axis
in twenty-four hours. At the equator
her circumference is $4,000 miles. Hence
in that part OF the earth a person is
being carried eastward at the rate of 500
yards per second. That is, he is moving
over yard whose length is conceivable
in the period of one-five-hundred-an
ninth part of second, of which we can
have no conception at all. But, more,
the orbital motion of the earth around
the sun causes the former to perform
revolution of nearly 600, 900, 900 miles in a
year, or somewhat less than 10000 miles
an hour, which is more than 1000 miles
a minute Here, then, one second car
ries us the long distance OF about nine
teen miles. The mighty ball thus flies
about mile in the nineteenth part Of
second.

Chance for a Christian to Act.

A thoughtful friend sends us the fol-
lowing advertisement, which was
clipped from a trade magazine:
For Sale-Owing to the death of
Mrs. Lulie Monroe Powers. late editor
and proprietor of the Ironclad Age,
the only straight atheistic journal In the
world, / would like to sell an interest
in the same. Any one whose heart is

has few hundred dollars to invest In
the same, will please address r. II.

The desolation in which this lronclad
journal finds itself is almost pitiable.
at is the only straight atheistic jour
nal in the world" and yet 1t is dying.
VIII the devoted apostles OF free
thought permit this threatened demise
Perhaps they will, and why not? is
there anything in freethought or athe-
ism or infidellty to call forth devotion,
loyalty, or self-sacrifice? One can be
devoted to a person. he can be loyal
to an idea, or he can die for a prin-
ciple. But it is impossible to spend
and be spent, and suffer and strive for
a negation. Atheism. infidelity, and
agnosticism, the three phrases Of un-
belief. are huge negations, and for this
reason they must always fail to COM
mand serious interest and much less
command investments. Therefore The
Ironclad Age, If it continues at all. will
probably continue to be 1.-The only athe-
istic journal in the world" simply be-
cause atheistic journalism does not
succeed any better than atheism itself.

In no other city in the land are people
packed so close in shelters as on the
east side of New York. A remarkable
instance OF sardine-like smuggling was
developed during the trial of neigh
borly row in the Essex police court.
The evidence disclosed the remarkable
fact that two families occupied a room
12x10 feet in Ludlow street. And what
do you think? They actually quarreled
because both families insisted on TAX
ing boarders. No wonder it's mighty
hard to secure an accurate census of
the town.

An unusual line of business furnishes
a living for man in Washington. He
owns large number of bulldogs, which,
he rents to the owners of houses who go
away in the summer. Each dog is
chained in the back yard and intruders
are given very cordial reception. The
dogs are effective guardians of the
premises intrusted to their care. The
rent of dog is but SO a month, and
the owner, who is known as Bulldog
Douglass, goes the rounds each day and
feeds the animals. Up to the present
time no better way of protecting prop
erty in the absence of the owner has
been discovered.

One of the states of the union where
the death penalty has not been in
flicted for any offense is Michigan, the
others being Rhode Island and Wiscon-
sin. The people in Michigan, through
the legislature, have expressed the be-
lief that life Imprisonment for murder
is failure; for the state senate the
other day passed by a nearly two-thirds
vote the law restoring capital punish
ment. If life imprisonment meant what
it says there would not be such a de-
mand for the restoration of the rope
but kind-hearted governors, the impor-
tunities of friends, and other influ-
ences, have induced the executive to
pardon men who ought to have re-
NAMED in prison for the rest of their
natural lives or be hanged.

Gem. ,rom william Seeker.

Men may perish for being Improbable
servants. as we'll as for being abomin-
able sinners.
He who freely gave his image to us,
must of necessity love his image in us.
A drop Of praise is an unsuitable ac-
acknowledgement for an ocean of mercy.
1t were better for us to have no being,
than to not have a new being.
God rejects all religion but his own.
He that deems his yoke heavy, will not
find his crown easy.
To deserve praise where none Is OBJ
tanned, is better than to obtain 1t where
none is deserved.
The flesh is an enemy to suffering, be-
cause suffering is an enemy to the flesh.

SOMETHING NEW IN swINDLINo

sharpers with Marked Cards Fleeing
the Unwary in Many States.
A gang of sharpers with headquar-
ters in Cincinnati, is practicing one OF
the cleverest swindling games that has
been devised for many a day. Their
operations extend all over the States OF
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and
West Virginia. The scheme has as its
foundation marked cards. A member OF
the gang first enters a town, represent
ing himself to be a salesman for a play
ing card company. He visits all places
where cards are sold in the village,
selling his stock of marked cards at a
price that Is next to nothing under pre-.
text OF introducing his goods" For
days the unsuspecting innocents are
bled and cheated. The strangers send
out and buy the cards they can read 50
well and there Is no suspicion. After
the town Is successfully worked the
sharpers follow up their advance man
and play the game all over again. II

The Pingree scheme grows in favor
in Detroit. Over two hundred acres
have been plowed in that city for pota-
toes this spring, and about 1000 people
have applied for land to cultivate. 1t
is the rule to give one-third of an acre
to each family and enough potatoes and
beans to plant it. This will produce
sufficient truck" to feed an ordinary
family through an entire season, and
many poor people in Detroit, who for
merly went hungry, now enjoy an
abundance of vegetables during the
winter. The land-seekers who were
distanced in the rush for the Kickapoo
reservation may repair their fortunes
and soothe their wounded hopes by re-
pairing to some enterprising city and
engaging in the cultivation of potatoes.

1.-THE girls were glad to see me-" said
Detective Counlhan. 'They had been con-
fined in the women quarters of the Jeffer-
son market prison and hadn't seen much
of New York up TO the time of my arrival.

New York than they had seen before up
to that time. The girls behaved them
selves very nicely. When they arrived in
New York two officers met them at the
boat and took them in charge. one of the
officers tried TO get gay with the girls and

BUILDING TWO DREDGEs.
Six Dredges viii shortly he at Work
on the Savannah River Channel.


Messrs. 2. Sanford Ross & Co. are hav-
ing two new dredges built in this city.
one of them is the Hercules No. /, which
was sunk a few weeks ago in the river
at the foot of Bull street, where it was
working at the time This dredge was
an old one, and it is being practically re-
constructed. When it is off the marine
railway it will be practically a new ma
chine and prepared to do good work.
The other dredge is being built by this
company over on Hutchinson's Island.
This is practically an entirely new dredge,
and will be one of the finest dredges that
has ever worked on the harbor here. 1t
will be a suction dredge and VIII be
equipped with new centrifugal pumps,
with a capacity of removing from $500
to 5000 cubic yards of material per day
This dredge will work somewhat on the
order of the suction dredge Gedney, which
was here a short while ago 1t will differ
from it, however. in that 1t viii not have
to go to sea to dump the material taken
from the river bed. 1t will work along
on its own power by means of spuds
and will have ten-inch pipes running from
the pumps to the shore.
These pipes win rest on lighters, and
through them all the material taken from
the bottom OF the river viii be pumped
right to the shore. This dredge will be
put to work near the Central railroad
wharves as soon as it is completed. This
will be about the middle of July, If not
before.
Besides these. the company has coming
from Jersey City new suction dredge
somewhat on the order of the Gedney.
which win be put to work on Tybee knoll.
This dredge is expected here about the
first of the month. When all these dredges
have been completed and put to work on
the river, the work will be pushed along
rapidly. There win then be six dredges
at work, two more than the company has
had at work on the channel for some time.
Their principal work win be in widening
the channel which has already attained
the requisite depth, but is as yet rather
narrow in some parts.
The dredges are being built here, on ac-
count of the fact that the work can be
done about as cheaply as it can north and
the lumber used can be obtained at a
lower price. These two new dredges will
cost complete, between $4,000 and $4,000
The machinery was brought here from the
| north.
