ST. PAUL'S ROCKS.

Almost ut the very center of the At

OF the immense depth of the sea, il

formed by the same disturbance Of ma

Treacherous currents make navigation
in the vicinity Of these rocks dangerous.
A Brazilian naval officer, who passed
them on an English steamer, tells me
that the evening before they expected to

that at 8 O'Clock in the morning they
would appear about five miles west. At

Manning and the Jesuita.

Edmund S. Purcell, who wrote the
biography Of Cardinal Manning that
was SO widely discussed and in some
quarters condemned, wrote a paper for
The Nineteenth Century entitled "On
the Ethics of Suppression In Biogra-
ply" in which he makes an interesting
statement concerning Manning's rela-
tions to the Jesuits:
Cardinal Manning could not endure
1t was not in his nature-to be looked
upon by the Jesuits as an enemy Of
vital godliness. They fell under his
ban. Metaphorically he "cursed them
with bell, book and candle" In n
laughing fashion their retort came
quick:
Cardinals may come. cardinals nay co.
But we GO on forever.
Cardinal Manning, as is known of ali
men, regarded the suppression Of the
Society of Jesus in 1913 rs the work of
Gods hand. He likewise looked upon
its restoration in 1897 rs Gods work.
But his abiding hostility TO the Jesuits.

ICE CAVES,
In Caliss.nla with Their PRODUCE - Clesz
n Cryxfzl.

In Calisssnla with Their Produce - CleaR
N Crystal.
In Modoc county, Cal, is an immense
field of lava covered with . beautiful
forest of conifers, which is inhabited by
deer, bear, panther. lynx, coyote, porch.
pine and numerous fur bearing animals
whose pelts are of value to the trapper.
1t was in these lava beds that the Modcc
Indians made their stand against the
government troops some years ago and
were with very great difficulty destroy
ed. It is here that the ice caves are
found, and from them the Modocs drew
their water supply while besieged BY
the troops.
One never having been over q lava
field can form but little idea of the
chaotic manner in which the ingenious
workmen have left the products of their
labor. The only order observed is disor-
der of the most exaggerated kind,
wherein every mass of rock has been
twisted or raised or depressed CT arched
over some cavern in a different way from
that of its neighbors. The caves scatter
ed throughout these lava beds are of
very varying shapes and dimensions.
Some are mere covert ways, with an
arch of stone thrown over them. Others
are immense chambers some yards from
the surface, another kind is sunk quite
deeply and may be in q series Of cham
bers united by corridor that opens ut
the surface, while another kind seems
to go directly to the center of the earth
without stopping.
1t is here that the stores Of ice are
found, which is formed from water that
filters in annually from the melting
SHOWS above. Every winter the lava
beds are covered with q fall of SHOW
which varies from two to ten feet in
depth. The temperature over this resion
in the coolest weather is often 90 or
more degrees below zero, so that any
water that might be in the caves is
frozen solid, unless the caves mouths
should be entirely covered with snow,
which is not often the case. Now, when
spring comes and the snow melts, the
water percolates through into the cold
storage chambers beneath and is there
CONCEALED by the prevailing cold. 1t is
in this way that the ice has been made
and stored for years. And were these
caves accessible to market they would
furnish the purest of ice to May cities
for years to come.-Popular Science

Of payment. They must report at the

of payment. They must report at the
lot as regularly as the hired men,
bring their mules in just the same, and
II they are off day, or part of day,
have the same right to forfeit
their contract as have to discharge
a hired hand, or / can dock them for
the time. As furnish the ground and
the credit upon which they work the
year, hold that have the right to
their honest and best efforts to mske a
crop. Their absence from work, or
neglect of it, affects my share as well
as their own. and they have no more
right to fall short in work than /
would have In failing to deliver to
them the ground rented or the credit
which gives them a living while at
work. If at the end of the year their
part comes to more than they would
have made in wages, that is all right,
as they have fairly earned it. The re-
suit of firm control and exact fair play
is that the most perfect order prevails
the year round. My experience with
the negro race is that it is not a
drunken one. While they go to town
and get on occasional spree, they
never come home in that condition.
In 80 years l have never had trouble
on this score with any of them. A
man can work large plantation just
as easily as he could before the war. ais
self-interest is as strong cord as serv-
itude, and. think, sometimes a good
deal stronger.
Il do not, however, advise farming
on this large scale. 1t is profitable in
the hands OF man who has head for
extensive organization and the man.
agement of men. We want the aid of
those men to help in developing our
unoccupied lands. The true field of
farming is the small holding, say 100
acres, raising vegetables, cereals and
meat and fodder for stock, SO that the
cotton crop will be surplus. During
the last ten or fifteen years there has
been great breaking up of the large
plantations into small farms, resulting
in marked improvement, as it calls the
individual efforts of more people into
play. In either case of farming on a
large scale or on a small one the profit
In the long run is greater than that in
corresponding lines of business. 1
might go further and say that measured
by twenty years the farm is still where
1T was with no loss whatever, and the
farmer or his family is still in the old
house, whilst the business man start
ing. with equal date is bankrupt and
his family scattered to the four winds
OF heaven."-St Louis Globe-Demo.

The Georgia experiment station has
published bulletin, which gives some
valuable information in regard to diff
ferent varieties of the cow pea Forty
six varieties were tested at the station,
with the following results:
l. The earliest cow pea, and hence
the variety best adapted to high lati-
tudes. is the New Era. This natures
in little more than 60 days from the
time of planting. Other very early
varieties are Congo, White, Grant,
Chocolate and Vacuum.
2. The heavist yield of vines is Red
Ripper, followed closely by Forage or
Shinney, Black and Unknown.
3. The heaviest producers of peas are
Unknown, Calico, Clay and White
Brown Hull
4. The yield of peas, as rule, though
not invariably, parallels the yield of
vines.
8. For hay, the erect varieties are
preferable to those of a recumbent
habit, since the mower cuts them all.
The best of the erect varieties are the
Unknown, Clay and Whippoorwill.
3. Where q dense mass of vines is
wanted to remain on the ground all
winter, Calico, Gourd, Black and Con-
Stitution are preferable.
z. The best table are the Sugar Crow
der. Mush, large Lady, Small Lady
and Rice.
8. The best stock pea for field graz
ing of either cattle or hogs Is the
Black. 1t will remain In ground all
winter without injury. Everlasting.
Red, and Red Ripper are also good.
Q. For an ''all-purpose" pea the I'm
known leads the list. Clay, however,
closely contests first place Unknown
and Wonderful are Identical.
