Theology and Politics.

The Worcester Gazette says that in
1843, when the Millerites predicted
that the world was surely coming to an
end before the close of the year, and
many worthy men and women SO ear
nestly believed in the prediction that
they prepared their ascension robes,
political feeling was running high
among the more worldly minded. One
day two devout Millerites and a stanch
old Wing politician were passengers in
a stagecoach in one of the sections of
New Hampshire not then reached by
railroad
AS was natural, the Millerites fell to
discussing the expected approaching
destruction Of the world, and one of
them, turning to the politician, said
solemnly, My friend, did you know
that before another month is passed the
great Jehovah will have returned to
reign On earth forever" The politician
drew an old leather pooketbook from
his trousers, and after deliberately tax
ing account of the contents turned to
the Miilerite and said, with great
warmth and earnestness, ''I'll bet you
$40 that the New Hampshire delegation
don't vote for him. - The discussion
ended right there.

THE EARLY BIRD.

It's the early birds that catch the worm,
saith the proverb, but what foolish worm
it is to get up so early and be caught.
Some of our farmers are the early birds.
They go forth at dawn to catch up,
as they call it, and they catch some
thing else. = Tramping, through wet
grass and stubble on cold, damp, frosty
mornings like these, and going thus all
day thereafter, brings to scores OF them
what they we're not looking tor. They
come home in the evening to suffer all
night with rheumatism. Now, while men
must work, they need not suffer. Why
should they when bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil will keep them all right. A good rub
at night with it will so strengthen aud
heal the muscles they will resist the in
fuence of the cold and dampness, an a
man will be cured before he knows it. Let
this be tried for while, and if the man is
cot cured it is only because he hasn't the
patience to rub the pain out.

A change will come about when
every customer asks what sugar he is
getting and insists on getting his
moneys worth and let's the light In on
this secret merchandise.
There is spent for labor alone on the
Pacific coast 100000 annually by
American refneries. They buy Wash
ington coal, Oregon barrel stock, pa
per, etc. and in a great many ways
the distribution of this vast sum OF
money is of benefit to our communities.
The first question to ask oneself is,
What can do to help my fellow man,
my fellow workman and the country
in which I live? First, by knowing
what sugar you use yourself, and Sec
ondly, by seeing that your are supplied
with no other than the American made
article, made by American workmen,
in American clearly factories, operated
by American capital, paying American
wages, in good American coin, and
keeping that American money at home,
not sending it abroad to support the
corruption and corrupting influences OF
a nation stained with infamy, black
ened by disease, and odorized with the
death of it's inhabitants.
We have here in our glorious state
of Washington and sister state of Ore
gon, as evidenced by the Exposition OF
the Manufacturers and Producers AS
ISOLATION, one of the greatest fields for
beets in this or any other country. In
rejecting the coolie made stuff called
sugar and buying only American made
goods, you are encouraging and
strengthening the hands of your neigh
Dor farmer, and building up an indus
cry which you will yourself share and
in time proudly realize the greatness
Of the soil upon which we live and
which God has blessed with special
Providence as uncompassed on the face
of the globe.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMER.
1t Is Claimed That While Long 1t Is Not
Oppressive.

Wrong impressions are hard to eradi-
cate from the human mind. In the
north and west it is popular delusion
that southern summers are extremely
hot and oppressive, and that life here
during the summer months is almost
unbearable. This impression is formed
upon no knowledge of the matter, but
simply upon the assumption that, as
we are nearer the equator, it must
necessarily be much warmer than in
more northern ATTITUDES. An investiga-
ton of the records Of the government
weather bureau will show that there is
no ground for such an assumption.
Our summers are long, but they are
not unpleasant. The heat in the north
and west is much more oppressive dur
ing June, July and August than in the
south. Deaths from sunstroke are much
more numerous there, and the heat is
decidedly mere sultry. Our long even
inGs are delightful, and a sultry night
is seldom experienced Our laborers
work in the fields all day long, and
suffer less from the warmth than those
CT the north.
In nutshell, our summers compare
tavorably with those of any section Of
the country, and our long, pleasant.
warm season is a decided advantage.
Our farmers can commence to work the
land long before their northern and
western brothers think Of beginning,
and can continue to utilize it months
after they have stopped. In the towns
and cities the residents are exempted
from heavy expenditures for warm win
ter clothing, and for the larger portion
of the year the only fuel burned is for
cooking purposes.
In comparison with the north and
west, it is doubtful if our long, pleas
ant summer is not as far superior to
their short, blistering one as our short,
mild winters are to their long, frieid
mes. Montgomery Gala J ADVERTISE.

THE ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH
Some of the Odd Difficulties of Operating
Line Through Queer Countries.

Some of the Odd Difficulties of Operating
Line Through Queer Countries.
A good deal Of romance hovers around
the means by which the worlds news is
gathered. The speed and accuracy with
which telegraph messages are trans
mitted between the uttermOst parts of
the earth is marvellous when the condi-
tions under which they are sometimes
transmitted are considered.
The mdo- European telegraph line
offers 4 coed illustration. It runs from
London to Lowestoft on the east coast
of England. 1t then dips under the sea
to Emden, Oh the German coast, whence
it passes through Germany to the Rus
sian f,altier, From this point the wire
passes by way OF Warsaw, Rowno, Odes-
sa, the Caucasus, and Tiflis to Persia, and
by Tauris 10 Teheran, the capital Of the
shah's queer domain. There it joins
the Indian government line which runs
from the Persian capital to Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Baluchistan. and complete the
route by connecting at karachi, in
northern India. The operation of this
immense stretch Of line, passing through
countries Of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously one
of much difficulty. On the snow
swept steppes of Russia tie wires are
sometimes snapped like thread by the
rapid flight of fiocks of wild geese. The
poles are cut down and made into fire.
wood by the nomad tribes Of the eau
casian districts, and the cunning inn
keepers of Georgia seek to boom their
post horse trade by deliberately creating
faults in the wires. In certain parts of
the mountainous regions Of Asia the
maintenance Of the solitary line involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication is
often cut Off by avalanches in the noun
tain districts, and the work Of repairing
after a snowfall of five or six feet is
no light matter.
These mountain stations are provi-
stoned with several months supplies be-
fore the winter sets i'll, as the staff will
be in touch with the rest Of the world
by the wire only until the spring
weather opens out the passes. In these
supplies are always included a liberal
allowance Of books and games where

tedious winter exile.-New York Sun.

Peanuts.

All boys and good many of their
sisters are fond of peanuts. Everybody
knows that no circus is complete with
out them, but probably not many boys
or girls either know just how they
grow. The peanut is supposed to be
native of Africa, where it forms the
chief food of certain regions, but it is
found, too, in South America and
Europe the species varying in the diff
ferent countries. Here in the United
States it is cultivated chiefly in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina aud Tennessee.
The seed planted is the meat or kernel,
and care is taken not to break the skins.
The plant grows like vine, and the
nuts hang On it like pea pods. A single
vine will, it is estimated, produce about
100 nuts if it is of the average good
condition. At this rate the yield per
acre is 40 bushels
Three varieties of these nuts are
grown here-the white, the red and the
Spanish. They are readily distinguish
ed, as they have Individual characters
tics The next time you eat a peanut
with two kernels very white, with pink
skins, you will know it is of the white
variety, which is the most important.
The she'll Of the red nut sometimes
holds three or four dark kernels, and
its skin is of a decidedly dark red, so
you cannot mistake that, while the
Spanish nut is SO much smaller, with a
lighter skin than both of the others.
that it will not be mistaken for either.
Nearly 5000, 900, of bushels of peanuts
are used in this country every year.

Helen Keller.

That remarkable child, Helen Kel
Ter, is in New York, and it was my
good fortune to meet her at the house
of friend. She is young girl in her
teens now and is much better informed
than most girls of her age, though she
is blind and deaf She was dumb as
well, but has been taught to speak. Her
articulation is slow and strange, but it
is perfectly distinct. Of course her one
sense is that of touch, and she has de-
veloped it to the highest capacity.
A death mask of Keats was laid on
her lap, and passing her hands over it
she expressed her admiration for the evil
dences of intellect that she found in it,
She even detected the smile that parts
the lips of the dead poet A bust of Ma
poleon was also given to her After
passing her hands gently over it she
recognized the features and said that
she thought it must have been made
during his victorious days, for the ex-
preston was less anxious than in one
she had 'seen" day or two before
Not only has this child most remark
able mind. but she must have had the
most careful training, for she is not
merely we'll informed, but cultivated.

boys, how did Jonah feel when the
whale swallowed him?" One bright
lad answered, Il think he felt down in
the mouth. "-Philadelphia Press.

Little people, do you know
What is underneath the snowp
Flowers pink and blue and white,
Big red roses all aglow,
In their dark roots folded tight
Till the merry south winds blow.
Do you know what secrets deep
All the woods of winter keep
All, the darling little things
Down below the snowbank's heapi
Fern leaves curled in tiny rings,
Violet babies fast asleep

Then will come the sunny spring.
When the SHOWS will melt, and, oh,
How the meadow brooks will sing
And the daffodillies blowl
