A good story is going the rounds
about Buffalo Bill. It is told that he
helped to build a church at North
Platte and was persuaded by his wife
and daughter to accompany them
to the dedication The minister gave
out the hymn, which commenced
with the words, oh, for thousand
tongues to sing" etc. The organist
who played by ear started the tune in
too high key and had to try again,
A second attempt ended, like the first,
in failure. ooh, for thousand
tongues to sing my great" came
the opening words for the third time,
followed by squeak of the organ
and relapse into painful silence.
Cody could contain himself no longer
and blurted out, "Start it at five
hundred and maybe some of us can
get in"

TO BE REMEMBERED.

Are you ready for tomorrow?
| whom?
Wisdom should be set in the frame
of meekness.
The humble man is strong because
| God is with him.
God will judge US by our practice,
not by our profession.
Word and Work go together, and
are the channel of blessing.
Each wellborne sorrow is a step
toward God.
He is a traitor to his country who
puts private gain above public good.
Do not talk about yourself; you
will incite either envy or contempt.
What men weave in time, they must
wear in eternity.
In almost every quarrel both parties
| are more or less to blame.
Christ does not require US to be
what He will not make us if we con-
sent.
If we would know God, we must
first love Him and our neighbor.
A bigot is one who has mistaken his
denomination for the kingdom of
God.
Cast out all envy, bitterness and
hate; and keep the minds fair tab
renacle pure.
Envying has strife as companion,
and they lead into every evil work.
Every life has it's Gethsemane of
sorrows, and it may have its victories.
There is wide difference between
sanctifcation and sanctimoniousness
Following Christ afar off is danger
Gus, for it opens the door to tempta-
ton.
There is no life so sheltered from
the world that it does not need help
from above.
IF a man has been with Jesus, his
speech ought to betray him in any
company.
When men think too deeply of their
wrongs they destroy themselves-a
strange revenge to take!
If Coo casts our sins behind His
back, we ought to be willing to do the
same with the fault of others.
It is better to be remembered in a
good mans prayers than in a rich
mans will.
Deepest Of all, religious sincerity
demands that we bring to God every
thing or nothing.

PROFITS FROM THE SEA.

The average value of the product of
agricultural lands per acre or square
mile is often computed, but probably
few of us have seen similar computa-
tions relating to the sea. Prof
Heusens, writing in the German geo.
graphical periodical, Globus, has
figured out an average of this sort for
the North Sea which is we'll known to
be one of the worlds great sources
of value derived from fisheries. He
says the value of the fish caught in
the North Sea yearly by the countries
bordering it is about $41, zoo, 900. The
yearly catch is never known to be less
than $37, 500, 900 nor more than $45,-
OOO,O 900. The North Sea, including
the Skager Rak or gulf between the
southern part of Norway and Sweden,
has an area of 255, 1884 square miles,
and therefore, the average value of
the North Sea fisheries each year is
$18.15 for every square mile of the
sea. England and Scotland take the
lions share of the wealth of these
waters, the annual value of the Eng
lish fisheries being about $24, 500, 900;
Scotland, s6,65O, 900; Holland, 81
10000; France, ss,12o,ooo; Germany,
So, 800, 900; Norway, $3.50, 900; Belgium,
$500, 900; Denmark, 100000.
Thus all the nations around the
North Sea share in the wealth which
it yields, and it gives some idea of
the direct monetary value of this
great watery waste to know that
every square mile of it adds over $18
a year to the production of the ma
tons living along it's edge.

DESTROYING OLD CARS.

The American Car and Foundry
Company has lately bought 13, 900 small
wooden coal cars from the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad. These used to be run
over the line, as we'll as the Philadel-
phia and Reading and other coal
carrying roads, but are too small for
present uses, and they have had to be
discarded for cars better adapted to
present traffic conditions. They were
accordingly sold to the Car and Found
ry Company for scrap, each car con-
tanning approximately two and half
tons of scrap, not counting the wheels
and axels. The company has also got
hold of 5000 box cars which it was
desired to break up. Accordingly
piece of ground several acres in extent
was leased near Detroit, Mich and
125 men were set to work at recover
ing the scraps from these cars.
Portable tracks were laid down, a
derrick was erected, shears for cutting
cold iron were provided, and a whole
wrecking plant was fitted up. At first
it was the intention of the company to
turn the cars over to the Poles and
such other people as might desire the
privilege, giving them all the wood
they might get for the tearing down
of the cars. This plan was not success
full, however, because it was soon
discovered that the wreckers were
taking more iron-worth from half
cent to one cent pound-than was
desirable, and SO the process of burn
ing of the cars was aopted.
Whenever it is possible to do this
the body of the car is lifted from the
truck and swung over the cremation
pile. In the case of the coal cars they
will not separate so conveniently.
Accordingly train of ten or fifteen
cars is made up. Then a locomotive
adjusts itself, without coupling, to
this train, and with a good start the
train is sent at great speed out on one
the portable tracks. When at full
Roadway the train is abandoned by
the locomotive and the cars go pell-
NELL to the wreck heap, piling one
on top of the other four and five deep.
1t is veritable railway which, con-
trived Intentionally and for a purpose.
Those in charge of the work say they
can destroy about one hundred cars a
day, but it will probably be November
or December before the work is COM
pleted.-The Manufacturer.
