Again. is the Subject.
TEXT: GAIL that man hath will he give
for his life. JOB. H., 4.
That is untrue. The Lord did not say
it, but Satan said it to the Lord when the
evil one wanted Job still more afflicted.
The record is: so went Satan forth from
the presence of the Lord, and smote Job
with sore boils.' And Satan has been the
author of all eruptive disease since then,
and he hopes by poisoning the blood to
poison the soul. But the result Of the dia-
bolical experiment which left Job victor
proved the falsity of the Satanic remark:
All that a man hath will he give for his
life' Many a captain who has stood on the
bridge of the steamer till his passengers
got off and he drowned; many an engineer
who has kept his hand on the throttle
valve, or his foot on the brake until the
most of the train was saved, while he went
down to death through the open draw
bridge; many fireman who plunged into
blazing house to get a sleeping child out,
the fireman sacrificing his life in the at
tempt, and the thousand of martyrs who
submitted to fiery stake and knife of mas
sacre and headmans ak and guillotine
rather than surrender principle, proving
that in many a case my text was not true
when it says, All that a man hath will he
give for his life.'
But Satan's falsehood was built on a
truth. Life is very precious, and If we
would not give up all there are many
things We would surrender rather than
surrender 1t. we see now precious ilIe Is

There is a department which suits the
figure and talents of each person; it is
always lost when we quit 1t to assume
that of another.
The one who will be found in trial
capable of great acts of love is ever the
one who is always doing considerable
small ones.
Some of the best lessons we ever learn,
we learn from our mistakes and failures.
The error of the past is the wisdom and
success of the future.
He that does good for Gods sake seeks
neither praise nor reward, but he is sure
of both in the end.
The noblest motive is the public good.
You will never find time for anything.

1t is not what he has, or even what he
does which expresses the worth of a man.
/ but what he is.
You must try to be good and amiable to
verybody, and do not think that Christ

rose life.
Despair is the thought of the unattain-
ableness of any good. 1t works differently

uneasiness or pain sometimes rest and

| Recollection is the only paradise from
which we cannot be turned out.
| Nothing in the world is more naughty

once raised to power.

Tature's Balloons.

The island Of fire, known by the ma
lives as The Home Of the Hot Devils"
is a recent discovery In Java. In the
center Of a huge lake Of boiling mud
and slime exists a phenomenon abso-
lutely unique, and SO wonderful that
tourists Drsve the difficulties OF the
long journey inland simply TO see 1t.
Scores Of enormous bubbles are formed
in the sticky slime by the gases which
arise from the lower depths, and these
grow and increase to an enormous size,
looking like nothing 50 much as the
large model balloons sent up sometimes
to ascertain the direction Of the wind.
These bubbles, some Of them. attain a
diameter Of FIVE or six feet before they
burst, which they do with loud explo-
sion. The sounds are described as re-
sembling a constant series Of heavy
platoon firing.

Nelson, Wonderful Feat.

Writers Of historical "reminiscences
have TO be masters of a certain amount
of accurate Information about their
heroes If they wish TO avoid mistakes.
If they are not they are sure to gel
things mixed"
Not long since a revieweisin the Lon.
don Times, writing Of book named
Rowing Commissions" related on his
own account the following episode O'
Nelson, the great admiral:
while in chase of VlIleneuve's
French fleet he was informed of the
enemy heaving in sight, at which in
forma ton Nelson evinced the highest
satisfaction, and gleefully rubbed his
lands"
AS correspondent of the Times
points out, this incident occurred in
1905. Nelson lost his right arm in the
attack on Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, in
1T9T-eight years prior to his pursuit OF
Villeneuve's feet. 1t would have been
therefore. a difficult matter for him Il

would often spend the evening hours
at her graveside, never quitting the
place until the shades and dampness
of night had come on. But this was
not satisfying, and so the structure
shown in the illustration here WAS
built that the old man might more con-
veniently assuage the sorrows Of his
closing days.
1t Is only a short distance from her
grave to the old, well-furnished man
sion where they dwelt for half cen
tury together. But when she was gone
the place lad lost Its charm. The halls
were lonely and the fireside desolate.
Nothing could satisfy the old mans
longing. In the new structure, small
and circumscribed though 1t may be,
there Is at hand that which alone to
him in life is dear. Here he can read
or sit alone and think or tend the flow

Remarkable telegraph Line.

Among the most remarkable works
IN Australia is the overland telegraph
from Port Darwin to the south of the
continent, which was completed in
1872. Almost the whole 1000 miles of
its length was through uninhabited
eountry-much of it waterless desert.
The wooden poles were prepared at the
nearest available places, but some had
to be carried $50 miles, while the iron
poles were taken an average distance
of 400 miles by land. Over 1900 tons
Of material had to be carried into the
interior, and the total cost was $780,.

A Negro Controls the Whine d.. ID. and
II. School

There were more reasons than one why
Jim Young, now a major, left his troops
and came to Raleigh this week.
He controls the deaf, dumb and blind
Institutions at Raleigh as absolutely as
the Car of Russia controls his private
secretary. Not a move can be made
in the white institution without his con-
sent. He was here this week to press the
screws on his white associates. He has
given them notice that unless they let
him run things as he pleases, he will
turn out the white lady teachers in the
white institution. There is no doubt Of
this.
How is it thai Jim Young can kill and
make alive? 1t is because Governor Rus
sell gives him the power. His white as
sociates on the board have no real COM
missions as directors. With possibly one
exception, each one of them has a string
tied to his commission. The governor
holds their signed designations to be &C
cepted whenever they dare to go con-
trary to his orders. AS Jim Young is the
medium through which his orders are
issued, they are all in the hollow OF Jim
Young's hand. If he chooses to squeeze
issued, they are all in the hollow of Jim
will squeeze if they refuse to sneeZe
when he takes snuff.
Here's a pretty hOWdy-do!
The chief educational institution of the
state, established for the instruction of
the white unfortunate children of the
state. controlled by a negro politician,
and controlled for political ends.
The people will not forget that Profess
or Chas. F. Meserve, a lifelong republi-
can, refused to serve on the board be
cause of the low plane of public morals
upon which Jim Young and Dan Rus
sell run it. Mr.. B. F. Montague, long
chairman of the board, was forced off
because it was no place for a respectable
man who desired a decently manage
institution, and Mr.. James A. Briggs,
who had been on the executive commit
tee for fifteen years, resigned for the
same reason.
If the governor has any desire to have
even a pretense of white rule of the
white institution he ought to accept the
resignation of Jim Young n his dun
mics and appoint decent white men to
manage the white institution. To con-
tinue the present control Is to insult the
unfortunate children Of the state who
have no other place at which they can
secure Observation-Disclosures News and
Observer, June 18th.
