More Fighting Men In the United States

The adiutant general Of the regular army

Tho number Of such men is 10,024, 5S4.

that the United States has more men avail

The population Of Russia 10y the last esti.
mates was $4,000, 900. The number OF
available men In Russia, however, is not
so large in proportion to the whole popu.

emigration from Russia, almost wholly
male. According 20 the last federal cen.

this country, while from the last authentic
Russian census 1t appeared that for every
1000 male persons in Russia there were

larger class of noncomb mbatants in Russia

MOODY ON DANIEL.

Daniel has been gone $50, years, but
his name shines brighter today than it
ever did and it will shine brighter $500
years hence than it does today.
Why?
Because he lived for others.
DO you want to shine?
OF course you do.
That policeman over there wants to
he Il captain or chief.
Those reporters want to be at the head
of their papers.
That's right. That's proper, but if you
want lasting glory you'll have to get it
outside of this world.
In the kingdom of God, the weakest
may shine.
Even a little child may shine forever.
John Bunyon outshines all the nobility
of his time and they wouldn't even speak
to him. He was a Bedford tinker and he
spent years in the Bedford Jail, but he
outranks all the nobility now.
He was a common person, but God
takes common persons for His work
God found Elisha blowing.
He found Moses and David tending
sheep.
He found Gideon thrashing.
Common people-all.
He of the big heart who lives for 9th
ers will live forever.
Don't be afraid to do too small a thing
for Gods service.
The little things, if done in the right
spirit. count.
When Mary broke her box of ointment
the Lord Jesus pronounced for her the
greatest of all eulogies-"She has done
what she could"
Do what you can.
Get your alabaster box of ointment and
freak it and the fragrance will fill all the
air.
The fragrance of Mary's still fills all
the world.
Well, Lord bless you, you can do your
best, too. God wants nothing more than
your best.-Gospel Voices.

SUCCESSFUL TEA CULTURE.
DIR. Shepherd Has Fifty-Acre Tet
Farm in South Carolina.

The Secretary of Agriculture has in
structed Mr.. Saunders, the horticulturist
of the department, to visit Summerville
$. c.. for the purpose Of inspecting the
tea farm of DIR. Shepherd of that place
who is the only man raising tea for the
market in the United States. DR.. Shep-
herd originally secured his plants from
Mr.. Saunders during the Hayes admin
iStration. The newspapers had good
deal of fun with Mr.. Lee Due, of Mime
sofa, who was commissioner of agricul-
ture then, about this same tea farm, in
which he took a great deal of interest.
But it appears that Dr. Shepherd has
gone on with his experiments and has
been adding to his farm annually, until
he now has about fifty acres in tea plants,
and will add ten acres moro during the
present season. He also finds the bust
ness profitable. He is able TO sell all the
tea he can raise at 81 pound, and he
has recently sent samples TO Washington
to show its superior quality. The chief
expense of raising tea is in curing the
crop. The harvest is continual From the
time the new leaves begin TO unfold they
are picked from the plant, and the pick
ing is kept up all summer. A great deal
of care and judgment must be exercised,
so as to pluck only those leaves that are
in proper condition, and to avoid in
juring the plant. Then the leaves have
to be gone over carefully and rolled be-
tween the fingers while they are being
dried. Women and young girls with MIN
bic fingers can do this kind of labor
much better than men. In China and
Japan the cultivation of tea is left almost
entirely to women, and the reason the
product of those countries is so cheap is
because plenty of skilled labor can be
hired for 6, 8 and 10 cents a day. DR..
Shepherd at Summeryile has found the
young colored girls perfectly competent,
and is able to pay them two or three times
as much as the japanese women get and
still make money.
