THE PLANET MERCURY.
like Venus, and For Like Cause, 1t IL
Now n Dead World.


Now n Dead World.
Mercury is II body devoid, practically II
not absolutely, Of air, water and of vegeta-
ton. Consequently it is incapable of sup
porting any of those higher organisms
which we know as living beings. Its sur
face Is vast desert. 1t IS rough rather
than smooth Whether this roughness
be due to mountains proper CT to orators
we are too far away from 1t to have
been able yet to suy. The latter Is the
more probable. Over the greater part Of
Its surface change either diurnal or seasonal
is unknown. Threo.eighths of its surface
is stepped in perpetual glare, three-eighths
shrouded in perpetual gloom, while the re-
manning quarter slowly turns between the
two. The planet itself, as world, is dead.
Interesting rs Mercury thus proves to
be, the interest as regards the planet itself
is Of rather corpselike character. Less
deterrent perhaps Is the interest 1t pos
sesses as part of the life history of the
solar system. For tidal friction, the clos
ing act in the oosmic drama, has brought
1t where 1t is. The machine has run down.
Whether 1t ever supported life upon Its
surface or not, the power to do SO has now
Forever passed away. Like Venus, and for
like cause, it is now dead world. And tt
was the first thus to reach the end of Its
evolutionary career, earlier to do 80 than
Venus, inasmuoh as tidal action was very
much greater upon 1t than on Venus, and
consequently produced it's effect more
quickly. Mercury has long been dead. How
long, measured by centuries, we cannot
say, but practically for a very long time.
Venus must have become 30 comparatively
recently. Both, however, now have FIN.
ished their course and have in most lit
eral sense entered into their rest.-Perci-

Days Cessions.
EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May 26.-The
Presbyterian general assembly settled
two important questions during the day.
The first was not to sell it's building in
New York city and the second to have
only one secretary of home missions.
The latest echo of the controversy over
DR.. Briggs and the Union seminary
came up in the report Of the judicial
committee which extended to all Presby-
terians the order to exclude students of
that seminary from their care. 1t was
apparent that few commissioners knew
what they were voting upon rs the mat
ter came up on appeal from some un-
named action of the synod of New
York, the name of the case alone being
piven.

More Freedom In Russia.

More freedom is to be allowed to the
press and the people of Russia, says The
Great Round World. This means that
within certain limits the Russian people
may now say or write and publish what
they really think without being sent to
Siberia for it.
It is now generally understood that
Nicholas II, the young czar, who came
to the Russian throne in 1894, is man
Of liberal mind. The reforms that he
has already ordered should make great
difference to the people. In country
where the laws about what should be
printed in books and newspapers have
been SO harsh, it must mean great deal
to the people to be free to speak their
minds.
In the recent student riots the people
who ruled the city Of Moscow did their
best to persuade the czar to send the
whole batch of students of to Siberia,
but he fatty refused to do go. BY this

A Prominent Minister Gone.

Our community was shocked
yesterday by the announcement
of the sudden death of Rev. N. A.
Bailey of Leesburg, Fla. Mr..
Bailey was one of the most prom
inent ministers of the Baptist
denomination in Florida and his
death is an irreparable loss to
the churches of that faith and
order. We take the following
from yesterdays Jacksonville
Citizen:
When the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad train from
Atlanta arrived in the city yes
terday morning DIR. r. B. Bur-
roughs was summoned to attend
a man who was thought either to
be dead or in dying condition in
a berth in the sleeper. The man
was found to be Rev. N. A.
Bailey, a Baptist minister of Lees
burg. DR.. Burroughs found that
life had been extinct for some
hours, and he pronounced death
to be due to apoplexy, Mr.. Bailey
was en- route from Atlanta to
Leesburg, by way of Jacksonville.
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken Clark and embalmed
and prepared for burial. 1t was
forwarded on the train last even
ing for Leesburg, the home of the
deceased. Mr.. Bailey was about
60 years of age, and leaves a
widow. He was one of the most
prominent Baptist ministers in
the state, and formerly was sta
toned at Orlando.

Music i'm the Family.

ear. for music as it is called:
and the taste usually signifies
some capacity for it. Nothing
has a more refining influence
upon the child than the cultiva-
ton of the musical faculty, It'll
is not necessary that the musical
performance be of the first-class;
it may be Indifferent, and to the
stranger uLinteresting; but it
will be happily oyerestinated by
the parents, because it is the per-
Torrance of their offspring; and,
what is of more Importance, it
will prove the safegard Of the
boy or girl in many an hour of
temptation. To FL the life with
the good is the wise way to shut
out of it the bad. The cultiva-
ton of the musical talent, be it
much or little, furnishes occupa-
ton of instructive and refining
nature, and ministers to eleva-
ton and enjoyment at the same
time. We are not unmindful of
homes where the immature and
forced ''infant prodigies'' are
brought forward to play their
piece, and "show off, before the
visitor, who is expected to OK
press establishment, and so aid in
the dollhouse process of spelling
the conceited child; but the fault
here lies with the misguided ra-
rents, not with the celestial art i.
Nor should such examples deter
wise parents from different sort
of home cultivation that should
develop the powers of self-enter-
tainment and rational acquire
ment. A home without a piano
; Or some other musical instrument
in it is seriously deficient in the
f pleasure-producing qualities.
Practicing music lessons may be
drudgery to the one playing and
WEAKNESS to teose listening, but
is is, aftrr all, a valuable part OF
. education. A Joy who can play
the guitor or mandolin or piano,
the flute or violin, has compan-
: ionship that makes him properly
t independent, and will likely save
; him from companionship less de-
, sirable. And where, in a family
the different members form ar
|
e orchestra, the home has an en-.
during attraction and bond. II
l was privilege to be in a home
recently, where every member
had place in the family orchestra,
I father and mother included; and
D while a Thomas orchestra might
4 show greater technique and finish,
nothing could be more delightful
: than the interested faces in that
domestic circle. AS wholesome
: means Of culture, do not neglect
