The Souls Death.

Rev. c. FL. Morrison preached last
night in the Christian church from the
text, ''The soul that sinneth it shall
die" Ezekiel NVII:2O. The speaker
said, we look after the body; God looks
after the soul, and saith the soul that
sinneth it shall die. Water can not
rise above its source but the soul can
rise above the petty things OF life, and
support the body the frame that car
ries it. There will be a time when the
wicked soul shall seek refuge in death,
and flee from the wrath to come, and
death shall flee from it. We ought
not to look on death as monster.
something hideous. Look upon it as
in the case of child's death, sweet
sleep. When Fits mmOns, the prize
fig liter, was introduced to Mr.. Moody,
the fighter fairly ran away from the
great evangelist, driven away from the
good mans presence by the devils with
in him. SO shall the uurig hteous
strive to flee from the righteous judge
Al the last day. Good can come out Of
death knowing that we have little
time to live, we should strive for high
er ideals in preparation for the life to
come. A perpetual reminder of the
tomb is good thing for the living.
The wise think largely of death.
Without progress we will reach death
before our time. Suicide is cowardly,
and it obtains only among those who
are without Christ. Remember thy
creator 10 the days of thy .-outh.

ALBANY, N. Y, February 11.-This
morning when the session of the L. A.

mitted his annual report. He said:
81 very much regret that but few rail-
roads have yet taken any steps as to
the preservation and safe carriage of
bicycle, which all roads accept for tran
sportation on one basis or another. "
He believes the gospel of good roads
should be spread through regular
standard publications. He believes too
that the league should maintain press
bureau, to send out regularly road mat
ter to thousands of papers, the editors
of which are already willing to publish
the matter. He said that it was of the
greatest Importance that money dur
ing the present stringent times should
be placed in the hands of able workmen
whose undivided attention could make
it success.
He believes the most available re-
medies for the disease of bicycle klep-
tomania is to pass laws to ensure very
severe penalties.

of a daring robbery of a burro train
loaded with $50, 900 worth of silver bull
lion has just reached here. The bur-

MeScaI Fibre,

There is an excellent field for invest
ment in the manufacture of mescal
fibre in Mexico, provided suitable
machine can be obtained or devised
for its extraction. The subject "offers
sufficient inducements" to justify one
in making trip to Mexico in order to
further prosecute your Investigations
The cost of procuring the raw material
practically amounts to nothing. In the
manufacture of the mescal, the residum
which remains after the drawing off
of the liquid, contains excellent fibre as
we'll as the leaves which are first cut
away. These at present are an expense
to the distillers and planters. because
it is necessary for them to employ men
to haul it away. Contracts, therefore,
at very nominal sum. could be effect.
ed with these distillers and planters.
whereby sufficient raw material could
be obtained to keep in operation very
large factory. There is money in mes
cal fibre.
The mescai maguey is found mos
plentifully in Sonora, parts of Duran
go. Topic, parts of Zacatecas, Coahuila
San Luis Potosi, Nuevo Laredo, Ia
maulipas, and along the Pacific slope
of the Sierra Madre range, up to al
| elevation of 4, 900 to 4, 500 feet 1t Is alsC
found in portions of Vera Cruz ant
some other sections of the republic. Ii
| the localities mentioned it grows wild
and is very abundant. The finest mes
cal is found in San Luis Potosi, Sonors
and Sinaloa.
