compare as follows :

Compared with 1897 the yield for
1898 shows a gain in Kentucky OF
20, 100000 bushels; Tennessee, 1O,-
100000; West Virginia, 100000
bushels; Arkansas, 100000 bushels ;
Texas, 32,OOO,OOO bushels; Louisiana,

Prior to 1860 under the system then
prevailing, planters realized the i'm.
porlance of raising their own food
stuffs, and thus cotton was largely u
surplus money crop. This is still pur-
sued by the better class of farmers iD
the south; but under the tenantry
system Negroes and many of the poor.
er whites, not being directed or con-
trolled by someone else, give nearly all
of their attention to cotton raising,
buying their food stuffs for man and
beast. This is not only destructive
to individual prosperity; but at The
same time necessarily retards th'!
progress of the whole south. What The
south did before the war in raising its
own food stuffs can be done again.
It is gratifying to know that slowly
but surely, the tendency is in the direc.
ton of diversified agriculture. Until
the south gives to diversified farming
the attention which it demands, ceas-
ing to give 80 large proportion of its
attention to cotton, its agricultural in.
terests cannot attain the prosperity
enjoyed under the old food-producing
system that prevailed prior to 1860.
Although population has largely more
than doubled between 1850 and 1898,
the south has, as shown by these
figures, but little more than caugh,
up in its production of corn, while it
still has less hogs than it bad in 1860,
the figures for 1860 being 16,9Oo,00o
hogs against 15,600,00O for 1898.
Nothing could show the need ot
diversified farm crops more co npletely
than these statistics. They emphasize
the need of an uncessing effort on the
part of the whole south to develop a
wider range of agricultural produc'
tionS.

A Boston mamma was instructing her
little daughter how to behave when
she went to luncheon at the Bishops
house. "Now, dear, when the butler
hands you something the first time take
little on your plate. When he comes
the second time you may help your
self to little more; but the third
time you must say No, thank you,
just as you always do at home"
So the little Boston child went to
the Bishops house to lunch, and came
home much delighted with her visit.
"Did you do just as told you, darl.
ing ?" inquired mamma anxiously.
"Yes, I did," was the reply. 81
took something very nice when it was
handed to me the first time, and then
when the butler came again 1 took a
little more but the third time I said
No, thank you.' But when he came
the fourth time you hadn't told me
what to do, so I just thought of papa
and said: NO, damn you ?'"-Bos.

These were some Of the words in the roll
which Jehoiakim burned which caused
him to hate it and burn it. Jonah was a
wondrous type Of our Lord in His death
and resurrection, and this the great truth
which satan hates and may be one reason
why he would If possible set aside the book
of Jonah. In Daniel perhaps more than In
any other book in the Bible the Importance
of the wisdom Of this world to understand
the things of God is made manifest, and
for that reason, among others, the book OF
Daniel is disliked. Revelation tells OF the
devil q downfall and final doom and there
fore he would like you not to read that
book.
80, 81 Therefore thus saith the Lord
of Jehoiakim, king of Judah" Then fol-
lows statement of what would come upon
him personally for this sin, but he would
not hearken In chapter XIII 19, 1t was
written that he should be buried with the
burial of an ass. God Is not willing that
any should perish, has no pleasure In the
death Of the wicked, but II in spite Of all
His warnings and entreaties the wicked
will persist in his wickedness he Is some
times given up so to do III Pet. Ill, 9;
Eek xxxin, IL; Deut. xviii, 15).
80. Another roll was given by Jere'
miah to Baruch the scribe, and from the
mouth of jeremiah he wrote all the words
that were in the former roll, with the ad-
dition of many like words. This suggests
to us that all efforts to destroy the word
Of God or any portion Of it only results In
the increase of that word. Since the days
of Jehoiakim the word Of God has been
bought in order to be burned, but the
money thus obtained produced a larger
edition.
