Let fertility waste from the earth,
let the waters of the sea consume, let
the heavens be drained of light, let
| angels lose their crowns, yet nothing
OF God vanishes away. He can pro-
duce all. He has divided the universe
among the elder children of light, and
left himself without a world, yet with
in himself is more love than in all Wis
1ble things, and when a prodigal world
returns to the Father it will find his
kiss, his love, himself, more glorious
than title deeds given to angels. God
is himself our Inheritance. His holt
ness shall be impaired to man. The
divine and human shall become in
carnate again in the oneness of love
I'VE shall dwell in him. His spirit
shall possess man. Does this seem i'm
possible? Does this seem too great?
Remember the measure of the love of
God is himself. He loved us and
gave himself for u.s. VIII it tax al
mighty love to make us holy? Will It

Novelties in Stationery.

Novelties in Stationery.
Generally speaking, novelties in sta
t1onery are not in good form. They
come and go, while aristocratic women
continue to use either white or a most
delicately tinted gray-blue paper,
which bears their address stamped
from an engraved die in gray or silver,
gold, blue or red, the preference now
being for gray.
Recently, however, a Wedgewood de-
sign in stationery has been introduced,
which, unlike most novelties, is so
dainty it has met with considerable
favor from ladies who usually "steer
clear" Of anything so distinctive in
letter paper. The paper itself is
Wedgewood blue, bordered narrowly
with white, envelopes matching. OF
course it will have but a short vogue,
and those who use but little stationery
and do not care to use something de-
c1dedly passe as soon as the novelty
OF 1t has passed, and cannot afford to
throw away fashions left-overs, will
do well to continue to buy a plain (of
course unruleD linen paper, rough or
smooth as they prefer.

The rest Of the Christian is not the
rest of idleness or Indifference. 1t is
rest which is a preparation for work;
1t is rest from our own labors, and
from the anXieties which have disturb
ed us; a rest which enables us TO
stretch out our hands in helpful labor.
No one can truly and effectually la
Dor for others until he has himself first
entered into rest. No one can faithful
ly work the work of God until he has
come to cease from his own works.
And when the strife and the toll for
the rest and peace and pardon are
ended, and when the sweet assurance
of the Savior's love has possessed the
soul with an abiding peace; when the
great question is settled, and the great
debt is paid; when, at last, being JUS
titled by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom also We have access into this
grace wherein we stand, and rejoice
in hope of the glory of God;" then,
having entered into this rest, we are
enabled to lay aside every weight, and
the sin which so easily besets us, and
run with patience the race set before
US. Then we are workers together
with God. Then we can 'be steadfast,
in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as We know that our labor
is not in vain in the Lord.''-The |

Fancy Belts.

Some extremely smart leather belts,
which threaten the immediate retire
ment of last seasons assortment. have
made their appearance. They are not
particularly novel in the materials of
which they are made. nor are the
buckles especially unusual. The novel
ty is in the pretty little woven leather
edge. The belt, of kid, patent leather
or plain grain leather, is made quite
narrow, and very narrow strip of
the same leather is knotted in a sort
of crochet stitch all along each edge.
This finish makes a variety in the
leather belts, in black, white or brown,
not spelling the severe tailor finish OF
the costume, but adding to it a new
touch of character.
For use with ribbon belts there is a
new style of belt pin with jewels to
match the cuff links and studs. These
are clasp pins, strong enough to hold
skirt and waist together.

Home Life.

The home life must be the sweetest.
The world is full of back-biting and
misunderstanding and envy; the home
must be refuge. The man is to be
pitied who after a hard days sail
amid the storms of business cares and
fears, cannot drop anchor at eventide
In the quiet harbor of peaceful home.
We want to get rid of our grum bling,
fault-fnding spirit in the home, and
learn to speak words of praise and ap-
proval. 1t is as easy to tell the wife
when she does well as when she misses
a button or has weak coffee; it is easier
to praise tn, children for their good
ness than 20 be increasingly nagging
them about their mistakes. Make
home happy, and the richest results
will follow.-Peninsula Methodist.

Keep in Touch with tho World.

Men grow narrow because they do
not live in sympathy with the times
they grow hard because they keep the
world outside; they lose in spiritual
force because they keep that force
under in their daily life Every day
witnesses to the life lived the preced-
ing day; this must be so, for life is
cumulative either in good or evil; there
is no blank. Consciously or uncon-
sciously, this force is working, for good
or evil; stagnation is death. When We
realize this to the full, We strive to
compel attainment. When we look up
on each day as a period by ITSELF we
become playthings of the time.

Brass Buttons for NTopey

While the regiments from all over
the country were gathering at Chick
amauga the brass buttons of the SOL
diers' uniforms were in great demand.
Every one was trying to buy them or
coax them from the soldiers, but it was
little girl who struck upon a plan
of getting together a collection that
represented every regiment in camp.
She used to sell lemonade to the SOL
diers, and then when they offered to
pay her she would insist in a charming
way for buttons in place Of money. She
was very pretty little girl, and there
were a great many soldiers who had
to pin their uniforms together on ac
count of this clever little lady.

Prof. N. E. Wilson, chemist Of the
Nevada Experiment Station. ls max
ing tour Of the agricultural sections
OF the State for the purpose of COL
lecting samples Of the typical soils of
the State, and Of studying the agri-
cultural resources. These soil sam
pies will be taken to the Experiment
Station and analysed and classified.
When che work has been completed,
1t will be embodied in a Bulletin for
free distribution. It is also the IN
tention to prepare soil map showing
the location and, as far as possible,
the extent Of each type Of soil exam
ined. Prof. Wilson will also give at
tentlon to alkai soils, which will be
sampled and their character deter
mined. thus showing whether they
are OF the "White," Saline" or sBlack"
variety. "White" alkai is the name
given to alkaline salts when the sui
plates preoominate; Saline" when
the chlorides, mostly sodium chloride
or common salt are In excess; and
@Black" when the salts are in the
carbonate form. This is the form so
injurious to plant growth, attacking
the root crowns, thus causing the
bhghting and death of the plant
The name aBlack" is applied to this
class OF alkali because Of it's carstic
action and the dark colored solutions
OF organic matter produced by it.
The method OF retaining alkali
lands depends upon the character of
the alkali, and it is with a view of
aiding in this work that the Expert.
ment Station has undertaken the
study Of the alkali lands.
Prof. Wilson intends to visit the
valleys south of Elko in short time,
after which he will visit portions ly-
ing north.
He desires to make as thorough a
survey Of this county as possible, but
there will be localities that he will be
unable to visit, and 30 would ask
those living in the more remote Sec
tions to send him samples Of the typi.
cal soils OF their regions. Unfertil-
lied soils are desired if the soil is un-
der cultivation.
To take soil samples, dig hole ~
