Knowledge Is Power.

An illustration of tho truth of this
proverb is found III Mr.. j. G.. Bert,
rams book, 1.-The Harvest of the
Sea-" 1t seems that a monopoly of
the extensive fisheries of Scotland
and England once came into the
hands of man who kept his agents
at the principal stations and requir-
ed them to furnish him all facts that
came to their knowledge.
At one of his stations i'll the far
north the fishing had been unsuccess-
full for the greater part of tho season,
and there was no prospect OF I'M
provement when he looked into the
matter. Upon examining his agent S
letters from that place for some
years back he found by u comparison
of dates that at certain place her
rings were likely to be found. Hoac-
cordingly instructed his agent to
send his boats to that spot.
The fishermen laughed at the idea
of mans sitting some hundreds of
miles away and telling them where
to got fish, but as his orders were
positive they had to obey, and the
consequence was that they returned
the next morning loaded with her

The Founder OF Adventism.

Elder Joshua Vaughan Hines,
the famous coworkcr of William
Miller, the founder OF AdventiSm,
died at Elk Point, South Dakota,
Saturday, July II, at the age of o.,
Mr.. HINES was born in Wexford,
II. l., in 1901. AT the age of 70 the
lad was taken from school and sent
to New Bedford, Mass, where he
was "bound apprentice" to learn the
cabinet makers trade.
While learning the trade he be-
came a preacher, cNpounding the
doctrine of the Christian Baptists.
A little later he was licensed as Il
general missionary for southeastern
Massachusetts. He gathered con-
grcgation in Plymouth, which still
lives. lie afterward founded the
First Christian church of Fall River
and in 1890 was called to Boston,
where seven years later he founded
the Second Christian church.
lie threw himself into the temper
ancc and antislavery movements
with a whole heart. In the midst of
this work he first heard OF William
Miller and his teaching as to the neal
approach of the second advent, and
made up his mind that "thc old
prophet was right.
Mr.. Hines continued to be lead
er among the Adventists until 1879
In 10 years he had published literally
millions of books, pamphlets and
papers.
FIR. NIillcr's own testimony was
that without elder Hines his work
would have been failure; that elder
Hines did more than any 10 men II
founding and promoting the Advent
list movement.

Gold at North Sherburne,

Mr.. Sherman, Il California miner,
has been prospecting for gold in
North Shcrburnc for about two
weeks and has found quartz rock
there superior to that in the Bridge
water mines and, in fact, the best
he has seen in the state. The own
crs of the land will blast out the sur
face rock to see what is underneath.
Mr.. Sherman has said repeatedly that
from all appearances the gold that
has been washed down through Pitts
field must have its source near North
Shcrburnc. He has found gold al
ready on quite an extent of territory
but what he wants is to find it in the
rock, and the quartz rock looks very
PROMISING.

\ pair of Siamese-twin eggs were
laid by a hen at Union Springs, Ala,
a few days ago. The eggs were per-
fectly formed, though small, and
were joined together by hollow
neck of shell. Another odd thing in
this line, on exhibition in Seattle,

large hens egg which contained in

fectly formed egg with hard shell.

In winter time we're frecZiu'.
In summer time we burn.
But winter has its pleasures,
When 'taters pile the cart
An summer stores her treasures
In the watermclon's heart
We're cold and call for fire:

But still they sing to us.
And summer has her roses
In every melting spot:

It's hot, an powerful hot

loon project is seriously considered.
s. A. Andrcc explained his plan of

lie suggested that the start should be
made early in the summer Of 1896,
in time to reach the \orskoarnc
islands, situated in the northwest
corner of Spitzbcrgcn, by the middle
of June. The sun in that region, he
said, was always above the horizon
at that season. and for that reason
the temperature of the air and the
balloon woAId be very uniform.
The Louisville Courier Journal
looks to the Democratic party to per-

Nature meant to subsist between a
free and homogeneous people, 1t
says:
"That is why we are Democrats.
The Republican party can not do it.
The Republican party is too much
of an opportunist. 1t is too much of
Il scctonalst. 1t is too much of Il
specialist. The offspring of a sue
ccsSful war, it not only sets up for
warrior in time OF peace, but it
claims exclusive possession of the
sentiments of patriotism and loyalty,
which belong to all the people. The
advocate of a false system of poIitl-
cal economy, it has become the
mercSt representative of that orga-
nizcd rapacity which holds that
wealth may be created by act of
Congress, 4 proposition that is only
half true; for the wealth so created
is for the few, who manufacture
subsidized commodities, not for the
taxed and toiling many who produce

The Apple Outlook.

In conversation with Thompson & Hall
yesterday, a reporter for the PRESS was
informed that apples are in much better
demand in Maine this season than for
several years. The crop i'll New England
this year is little more than half that Of
1894, and smaller than in 1889. 1t is es-
ti,nated that Maine has 100, 600 barrels
his year against 1889, GOO in 1894 New
York has almost million barrels more
than last year. Ohio and Pennsylvania
have about double the product of last
year, but the largest gains are in Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri. There is short
age in Canada this year. The apple
crop, however, taking the country togeth-
err, is fine. one and more evenly distribu-
ted than for some years. England has
a good crop and will get good many
from Belgium and Holland, but these are
early fall apples, and American apples
can be shipped literally.
