CHAPTER XVII.

That night tho storm passed away
and the sun rose on perfect morning.
The blue Pacific was still beating the
sandy coast with whitecappcd billows,
it is true, but the sky was clear and Sc
rene, and the sun shone brightly on the
town and harbor Of Vladivostok.
What a frightful mockery all this
glorious beauty seemed to the three
prisoners as they passed for moment
through the cottage yard and entered
the closed carriage that had just arrived
from the town. Their wan, haggard
faces, from which every vestige Of hope
had fed, seemed to draw sympathy
from even the stern and pitiless Co.'S
sacks.
The commanding officer took his seat
in the carriage and gave the order to
start. He had deferred the departure
until now, purposely, no doubt, that
his triumph might be seen of men, and
to add dignity to the occasion the car
riage was surrounded OH all four sides
by troops of mounted Cossacks.
They rode briskly out of the wooded
valley and turned down the sandy
beach, entering the town by its main
thoroughfare-a long, narrow street,
lined for the most part with wooden
houses of a peculiar construction. The
sidewalks were filled with people, and
Maurice looked with curiosity at the
odd types of characteristic qucerly
dressed Russians, tho piatailed Chi
neso and the dark featured Koreans.

"a SCHOOL For CoURTING."-It is
sometimes said that the Christian En-
deavor society is "a school of court
ing" A Methodist contemporary
courageously replies to this charge:
"What if it is?" There is nothing
disgraceful about courting. People
have to marry. How can they marry
unless they court9 How can they
court unless they have an opportunity?
Where can religious young people
learn the nobler elements of each 9TH
er's character better than at church ?
Shall we drive our daughters and Sis
ters to ball rooms, card parties, thea
tres to find husbands?" And then
the paper aforementioned ventures the
boast that while the Christian En-
deavor society was not originally in
tended to make matches, those it has
made will rank higher than matches
made in any worldly society. 1t is
probably true that all sorts of motives
carry young people to Christian En-
deavor meetings. But if the oppo-
nents of all good works have no bet
ter criticism to pass upon the move
ment than the captious remark that
stands at the head Of this paragraph,
they would do we'll to hold their peace.

NEW VARIETY OF COTTON.
The Plant Has No Limbs and the Seed Sell
For $500 Per Bushel.

The Plant Has No Limbs ana the Seeu sell
For $500 Per Bushel.
The famous Jackson limbless cotton
has assumed a national Importance
Yesterday the United States secretary
of agriculture telegraphed to Weather
and Crop Official Marbury at this
place, to go out to the Jackson farm
and make a thorough and exhaustive
examination of the plant, and then re-
port to the government official at
Washington.
Mr.. Marbury at once went out to
the farm near the barracks, where the
wonderful cotton is growing. and
through the kindness of Mr.. jackson,
was enabled to 60 through the six
acres of magnificent cotton. He spent
quite while at the place and looked
over all the field. After making bis
examination he was allowed TO bring
some of the cotton to town with him
to include with his report.
Mr.. Marbury was enthusiastic over
the limbless cotton. He said that il
was the finest crop of cotton he had
ever seen. He said that some of the
cotton was so tall that it could hardly
be reached with an umbrella. The
plant is tbickly studded all the way up
with large bolls, and the lowest esti.
mate is that the six acres will yield
four bales to the acre.
The weather official will make q
very full report on the condition and
the prospects of the cotton, and will
enter into its probable commercial
value. He will give as full and com.
plete a report on the subject as could
be desired, and when the report is filed
the government will then be in posi-
tion to act as it may consider proper
That the government officials are
evincing considerable interest in the
remarkable cotton is not surprise
It is is an entirely new variety of cot
ton and is the best species that has
been grown in this country. The gov
ernment will probably buy up large
quantities of the seed and distribute
them among che agricultural classe!
so as to insure a wide distribution ant
spread of the new variety.
The seed retails at 5000 per bushel
and the present owners of the six acre!
at Jackson's farm have been Offered
$25, 900 for the product of the field
The cotton does not have limb on ths
stalk, and has many advantages moi
possessed by other varieties.
Mr.. Marbury will file his report II
few days, and the government viii
probably take early action in order te
secure the seed that is now being
grown.-Atlanta Constitution.

NO PRISONS IN ICELAND.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are 80 honest in their
habits that such defences to property
as locks, bolts and bars are not requir-
ed; nor are there any police in the is-
land. Yet its history for 1000 years
records no more than two thefts. Of
these two cases, one was that of ma
tive, who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had done so to
supply his family, who were suffering
from want of food, when he haG bro
ken his arm, provisions were furnished
to them and work was found for him
when able to do it, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care; but
the stigma attached to his crime was
considered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was by German,
who stole II sheep. But as he was in
comfortable circumstances, and the
robbery was malicious, the sentence
passed upon him was that he should
sell all his property, restore the value
of what he had stolen, and then leave
the country or be executed and he
left at once.
But, though crime is rare in Iceland
and its inhabitants are distinguished
for honesty and purity of morals, there
is, of course, provision for the admin
stration of justice, which consists,
first of all, in the sheriff7s courts next,
by appeals to the court of three judges
at Reykjavik, the capital and, lastly,
in all criminal and most civil cases, to
the supreme court at Copenhagen, the
capital of Denmark, of which kingdom
the island forms a part. The island
of Panaris Zone of the Lipari group)
is equally fortunate in having neither
prisons nor lawyers, and being abso-
solutely destitute of both paupers and
criminals.
