The samples already received by the de-
partment from farmers in twenty-four
states not only disclose a much larger
area of successful beet culture than was
expected, but they reveal many surprises
as to the productivity of several states
which ii was supposed were not adapted
to beet culture. For instance, the>state of
Colorado is theoretically a region where
beet culture can be conducted with great
profit, but the samples received from that
state are small and deficient in saccharine
matter, while New York and New Jersey
make by far the best showing. If Mr..
Wilson can demonstrate by these expert
ments that the United States has the soil
to produce all the sugar that our 700OO,-
900 people can consume ne will have rem
dered a valuable service to the economic
and industrial interests of this country,
and may ultimately succeed In saving our
people millions of dollars annually.

The "Great swaliower."

AS a swallower of objects larger than
his own diameter the boa is nowhere in
comparison with the Chiasmodon niger,
or great swallower, a species of deep
water fish which is in several respects
the most wonderful representative Of the
finny tribe.
In his natural state (the condition in
which he is found before dining would
probably more correctly express the
meaning intended here) chiasmodon has
a body remarkably elongated for fish
of his size and is of nearly uniform
thickness from head to tail The vora-
cious creature pays no attention to the
size Of its prey when he starts on for
aging expedition and is just as likely
to seize upon fish of dozen times his
own bulk and weight as any other kind.
His jaws are very long, and. like those
of some species of serpents, which feed
upon prey Of greater diameter than
themselves, are without base hinges.
His manner of feeding is to seize a fish
by the tail and work his mouth, which
is studded with sharp teeth pointing
backward, over his victims body. The
great swallower" is we'll named, for
he has been found with fish in his nav
which were twelve times as bulky and
Seighty as himself. His rapacity often
causes his death, the gas formed by the
process Of digestion making balloon of
his body and allowing it to rise to the
surface. Those we'll up in piscatorial
lore say his natural habitat is 1900
feet below the surface. This being the
case, rising to the surface is almost Ger.

to burst, with fatal results. st. Louis

BE Charitable.

Hasty Judgment Of the actions Of
others is dangerous and often unjust.
We measure too much by some superb
cial appearance and condemn hastily,
when, if we knew all and understood
the motives and reasons we would
warmly approve. We sometimes say of
some one, "This pain, sorrow or loss
has not deeply affected him.
But we do not know. 1t is like the
death of few of the soldiers in front
of regiment. The broken ranks close
up again into the solid phalanx, and
the loss is not apparent. There may be
no Reorganization, no surrender, no
craving for pity, no display of despair.
1t is like the calm, dazzling play of the
waves warmed by the morning sun
after night of storm and disaster.
There is no sign of the wreck; the tide
has carried the debris away far out on
the ocean; the treacherous water has
swallowed all signs and tokens of the
nights awful work.
We see only the fairness of the morn
ing, not the suffering of the night. Let
us be charitable in our Judgment and
condemn not when we do not know. -

Training the Child.

About the worst thing parents can do is
to discuss the failings of children before
them. The next worse thing Is for one
parent to attempt to punish the child and
the other parent protest against 1t. Either
action will damage the respect Of the child
for one or the OTHER of its parents, and II
there is one thing more than another that
parents want to preserve it is their dignity
before their children. A child who gets
the idea that one parent Is at variance
with the other on the question of disoi.

itself decidedly Objectionable by playing off
one parent against the other. II you want
to have any harmony in the family, get
together on the question Of disciplining

and then IL you want to quarrel on meth

Colley Cibber.

Cibber has his Importance for the his
torian of the stage; as laureate he is only
interesting for what two far greater men
than himself-Pope and Johnson-had to
say about him. Pope, who, very unjustly,
in later years made Cibber the king Of
ounces in the second form of the "Dun-
clad, ;" had his fling at Cibber as soon as
he was spoken of for the laureateship:
Great George, such servants since thou well
canst lack,
Oh, save the salary and drink the sack
Pope kept pegging away against poor
Cibber. poor Wiltshire laborer named
Duck had written some verses, and the
queen, wisely or not, had granted him a
house and an annuity. So Pope produced
his epigram "On the Candidates For the
LAUREL"
Shall royal praise be rhym'd by such a ribald
AS fopling Clbber or attorney TibbaldY
Let's rather wait another year for better luck; :
One year may make u singing Swan of Duck.
Cibber himself tells US that Pope wrote
the following epigram on the appoint
ment:
In merry old England it was once a rule,
IL ~ had his poet and also his fool
Bu. Nv were SO frugal, I'd have you to know
That I. s0er can serve both for fool and for
poet.
Cibber's laureateship only becomes at
all entertaining when we come to what
DIR. Johnson has to say about it. Cooley

matter is conclusive, for if u man was

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Topic For tho Week Beginning Oct. 81.
| Comment by Rev. =. III. Doyle.
| ToPIc.-Confessing Christ before men; why
| and how.-John xii, 1913; Rom. x, Sill. "a
meeting for especial thought Of the associate
members and the ui.converted.)
This topic appeals especially to the
associate members. It appeals to all
who believe in Christ, but who have
not confessed Him as Lord before the
world Some people hold the opinion
that all who really believe will confess
Christ This is mistake. firmly be-
lieve that many people sincerely believe
in Jesus Christ who will not confess
Him, at least by uniting with His church
or in a public way. We have Scripture
authority for the belief that men may
believe in Christ and yet not confess
Him. John tells us that "among the
chief rulers also many believed on Him,
but because of the Pharisees they did
not confess Him, lest they should be put
out of the synagogue, for they loved the
praise of men more than the praise Of
God" Many today believe in Christ,
but do not confess Him. Some think it
is not necessary TO make public pro-
fession of their faith, some are too
timid some feel their personal un-
worthiness, some that they may not be
able to represent Christ properly, and
some, alas, are afraid of the opinions of
others, like the rulers of old.
All believers should confess their be-
lief. Nothing should keep us from con-
Tossing Christ if we really believe in
Him. There is no just reason for not
doing so. There are many splendid rea-
sons why we should: /. Christ expects
us to confess Him before the world. He
requests it of US. He attaches the prom
Use of blessing to the command to con-
fess Him. Christ's wish should be law
to believers. What He wants us to do
we should do. He wants us first to be-
lieve and then to confess Him. Confess
sion should be the natural and logical
result of faith. When we believe in the
heart, we should confess with the
mouth. 2. We should confess Christ for
the benefit of others All have an infu-
ence in the world. Our influence should
be for Christ if we believe in Him. 1t
will not be unless we confess Him. By
silent love and silent faith we cannot
exercise an influence for Christ. Our
very silence will speak against Christ.
3. We will want Christ to confess us
when we stand bel3,e the bar of God.
He has promised to so if we confess
Him in the world. Low can we expect
it if we neglect or lofuse to confess
Christ now?
How should we confess Christ? First
of all by uniting ourselves with Christs
church. 1t is in this way that we pro-
claim ourselves Christians. Then upon
every occasion given by word and deed,
by testimony and by life we should con-
TESS Christ. Our tongues and our lives
should testify to the world that we
have been with Jesus

MINES UNDER THE OCEAN.
Stalwart Gnomes Who Dig the Ores ST,
Fathoms Below the Surface.


There is a striking example of mans
boldness in searching for wealth and his
skill in securing it at Betallock near Cape
Cornwall, Alaska. BetallocS is bold
headland composed of huge masses of
against which the Atlantic surges are
constantly dashing. The persevering Of
forts of man have at this point been more
powerful than those of nature
"Kibbles" descend fathoms beneath the
sea and ascend again with copper or tin
ores, which are wheeled away to larger
heaps, where women, boys and girls sepa-
rate various qualities with the systematic
industry of workers in n factory. Every
body and eyerything-socks, platforms
and paths-is smeared with the prevail
ing red hue derived from a slight mixture
of iron with copper or tin ores, and then
the very muddy stream flowing from the
stamp mill to the sea has impaired to tho
beach, the breakers and the foam the same
rubicund tinge If ore is coming up plen-
tifully and of good quality, everybody is
pleased, and far down to the gloomy depths
of the mine, which Cornish legends people
with spirits the news that new bunch"
of copper has been struck or the old hole
is growing richer fills the workers with
professional joy.
As the visitor creeps along the passages
into which the light of day has never en-
tered he hears comparatively little, until,
becoming accustomed To the darkness,
barely illuminated by the flicker of lamps,
no dimly distinguishes the stalwart gnome
at work. Coming from the upper world
amid the din of heavy stamps and ma
chinery above and the surge of the sea be-
low, the rattle of wagons on tram ways,
and the crowds of men and boys climbing
up and down paths which seem to DO too
steep for a goat, the modified silence of
the level strikes one as unnatural.
In places, however, the guide may ask
the visitor to listen to a curious sound. 1t
is the booming of the waves above and the
grating of the stones on the sea bottom.
Then ne is told TO give him courage that

Dye reapers, go forth reaping,
Reap in every clime
Gather, gather in the harvest,
Precious is the time.
Wait not until the sun hath set
And the night is on,
For, alas, ye cannot labor
When the day is gone.
All the fields are ripe and ready,
And the happy song
or thy brothers who are reaping
Echoes sweet and long.
Sheaves of pain and sheaves Of sorrow
Ye must gather in,
Casting out with holy anger
All the tares of sin.
Look by the way, for there the grain
May be growing, too,
In some dark, neglected corner,
Hidden from thy view.
In the fields of God, the Father,
o We reapers, roam,
And the weary and the suff' ring
Gladly gather homei
The fields of God are waving white.
And there's room for you,
For truly great the harvest is,
The harvesters few.

Who have reaped and sown,
Now, high In the realms Of glory,
Sing around the throne.

Real prosperity has at last struck

The laboring man knows all about It,,

many did six months ago.

Six months ago between 35 and 40 per
cent. of the toilers were out of work,
and in the dead of winter probably
every other man who depends upon his
muscle to earn his livelihood was with
out steady employment.
There was then nearly 100000 de-

ing their little savings to get bread for
themselves and their families. Today

A BOLD STAND a
Taken by Governor Bushnell Against
Extraordinary Expenditures.

One of the much-needed improve.
ments for the state of Ohio was that of
more room in the capitol, and many
very potent arguments were advanced
to the legislature why we should have
an addition to the state capitol, or at
least another building. Since the orig
inal building and arrangement of the
capitol half a century ago, many new
departments have been added to the
administration.
The old constitutional offices when
the capitol was built, such as the Sec
retary of state, treasurer Of state, audi
tor of state, attorney generals depart
ment, supreme court and governor.
were provided for with suitable apart
ments. Year by year as the needs and
demands of the great state increased,
the farmers required an agricultural
department, which absorbed some very
valuable space; dairy and food depart
ment was then created: the labor bu.
reau had to be furnished quarters;
mine inspectors, pardon board and
medical board; pharmaceutical board
and other minor departments, until the
building is crowded and outside space
has been rented for some of these de-
partments.
The legislature authorized the eX-
penditure of 100000 to make addition
al improvements to the state house.
Governor Bushnell, last January, hav-
ing appointed the committee to draft
plans and submit specifications, found
that the improvement would probably
exceed 100000, and might possibly
cost so 100000, and he took the bold
stand that in the midst Of the hard
times and panic we were then suffering
from it was not the proper thing to do
to burden an overoppressed business
! and commercial world with an increase
Of expense, and took the position that
