by nature, his COWS were accustomed
to receive only the kindest treatment.
A few years ago this neighbor bought
a Bsocock test for use in his own dairy.
One day he directed the hired man
to shut the COWS in the yard, and to
let the dog in with them. The hired
man thought his employer must be 60
ing daft, but he obeyed instructions.
The two men took sticks in their hands
and went into the yard with the COWS
and began to shout, the dog barked
and pandemonium reigned for a few
minutes, although not a blow was
struck nor q COW bitten.
The falling off in yield was quite
noticeable, but the test when applied
showed a loss OF 40 per cent, in butter
fat on the basis of the week previous

or fifteen pounds. While the loss in
butter fat, forty per cent, would bring
the test down to three per cent.
What does this really mean9 At 90
cents per pound, my neighbours three

Blurred By Self consciousness

In looking at the stars through q
great telescope, it ia necessary first to
put out every light until you are left
IN total darkness. Every light sets the
air in motion, and disturbs the focus,
and blurs the vision of the stars. How
often our vision Of God is blurred and
dimmed by the fl LINES of self conscious
ness and sordidness that floats around
u! How many times we have to put
cut the light Of self seeking, earthly
ambition and false pride of position in
order to look upward, and in the clear
still air TO know whithtr Gods lights
are leading US, and what God will
have us do.-Rev. W. II. P. Faunce.

RAISING sUNKEN WAR VESSELS.

Warships are rather costly and we
are glad to see that cur government is
preparing to raise some of Cervera's
suaken vessels and hopes to repair and
add them to our navy. Lieut.. Hobson,
Of Merrimac fame, whose arrival in
New York was noted in our last issue,
is making arrangements for this work.
In a letter to a Raleigh lady be says
that ''there are chances for raising the
Teresa and Cristobol Colon, but the
OqIendo and VIscaya are blown asun
der" The following interview with
Lieut. Hobson throws some light upon
the methods Of raising sunken vessels,
and will perhaps interest our readers:
The difficulty Of saving the Colon"
said he, lies in the complete submer-
gence, upon her beam end, of a steamer
OF Z 900 tons. Oily a short portion of
her stem is clear of water, which fl 8
her whole interior. Her sea valves are
open, and her sides are in a few places
perforated by shells. The beach upon
which she lies in exceedingly shelving,
forming a part, in fact, of the mountain
which there rises from the sea and
towers aloft. In short, all the condi
tions are present which render the
Fighting and raising Of the ship an en-
gineering feat Of large proportions. Al
the same time it is simple and quite
feasible. NJ new appliances are need
ed, nothing has to be invented it is
simply a question of getting to the spot
in time with the accepted means and
methods on a efficient scale"
AS to the plan for raising the Colon,
Lieutenant Hobson said:
I'VE will run the pontoons along side
Of the Colon, submerge them and after
chains under the bottom of the ship
have been fastened to the pontoons
and frightened the pontoons will be
pumped out. At the same time we will
use air pumps in trying to force the
water out of her air chambers and
water tight compartments. If many
| of these compartments are found to be
in good condition this combined force
| from the outside aud the inside will be
| sufficient to raise the Colon several
| feet If they are not sufficient then
| airbags will be put in her hold and in
| Rated By compressed air. Every time
| the ship ia raised a few feet from the
| bottom she will be owed further in
| shore. go that after several easy stages
she will be high enough from the water
| to make all the necessary repairs. 1t
ia thought that her hull is not in a
leakv condition, but that it was the
| opening of the sea valves bv the Span
iards which sank the ship after they
a that it was impossible to get away.
II that is found to be the case the Colon
ma 80 quickly towed to a dry dock in
this country for permanent over
hauling
II think it will be fully two weeks
| before the work Of raising the Colon
| can begin. As to when it can be fin
ished will depend largely on the
| emo othness OF the water. Pontoons
can not be worked in rough water.
! fortunately for US the weather has
| been propitous thus far and it is our
! hope shat it will continue until the
Colon is high and safe or the beach"

When a Young man asks father for his

is a wise one he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,

health has no right to marry until his health
is restored To do so is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
