TURKEYS RESOURCES.
According to This Account It Is one of the Richest Countries in
 the World.

The Ottoman empire Is, in potential resources, probably the richest eoun- try in the world next to the United States. For years American and Turk ish statesmen have been endeavoring with all their power to foster what little trade their countries have, says Golfers Weekly, and to create new trade, channels to commercially con- meet the republic and the empire. These endeavors have already borne good fruit and the future possibilities in that direction are innpite. The mutual relations of commerce amount already to millions, and it would be most unfortunate that an untoward event should disturb in their growth these promising shoots of trade and bring about a distrust which would cause the originating of new branches of trade to be made impossible for many years to come.
 The feeling of fellowship among na- tions is to large extent sentimental, especially when there is no special point of hostile contact. The Turks have been educated to know that there is Q great, free nation far in the west, foremost in all the endeavors of com merce, industry and technical inven- tions-a nation to whom they could any fear intrust the develop ment of their magnificent resources.

 If the life of Christ be-not your pat tern the death of,Christ will never be your pardon.-WilhaIn Seeker.
 Religion does not consist in getting up an amount of steam and then sub siding. It means endurance.-Rev. P C. Yorke.
 The surrender of Sself-assertivene<s leads to an experience more manifestly divine than any we have known before. Rev. Dr. Raymond.

WHAT IS CORNERSTONE
The Difficulty That Lies In e Simple Act.

The term conversion has acquired definite religious significance. It means a turning about, reversal of ones course, the abandonment of ones purpose of life hitherto, or of ones neglect to have a positive pur- pose, and the substitution of 8 dis tinct, earnest, controlling intent to serve God by loving and initiating Jesus Christ. To speak of the conver- sion of anyone is to be understood to mean that radical and perma- nent change has taken place in him, and that henceforth the supreme ob- iect of his life is loyal obedience to God.
 Wherein, then, lies the difficulty of conversion? Why is it not natural and easy when one is convinced, as all are convinced at times, of sinfulness and need of redemption? It lies in the ingrained hostility of the human heart toward the commands of God which call for entire subordination of self and for conservation to Him and His service. There are persons whose lives are so worthy that con- version when it occurs produces lit- tie apparent change in their daily conduct. Yet they would be as ready as any to testify to the difficulty ex- perienced in submitting themselves to the will of God.
 It may be that their difficulty was all the greater because they felt them selves free from sins which no one can commit without shame because of their publicity. No one can be c drunkard, for example, without know ing that he is doing wrong. But the excessive love of money, of power, of public praise, being but congregations of virtues, often fail to impress us with their guilt, and the need of peni- tence and reform is much more difi- cult to be realized. It costs sharp twinge of ones whole being to ao- knowledge that one has been wrong all ones life, and that, however fair and beautiful the structure of char< acter, it needs to be rebuilt from the foundation. This is always true when one is converted, and it indicates the difficulty to be faced.
 Fortunately conversion involves no intellectual perplexity or complica- tion. It is perfectly simple. It means the surrender of every other aim and the determination, firm and unfalter- ing, to love God and to do His will no matter what our circumstances. It is the substitution of this dominant pur- pose in place of any and every other, no matter what. All persons are not converted in the same manner; no dramatic, violent experience is neces- sary. Conversion may be as tranquil and uneventful as any other expert ence. but it must reach to the very roots of life. It must assume and maintain control of the ruling motives of conduct. It may not modify ex- ternal conditions to any great extent, but it must alter their meaning to us and the1r influenee.-Boston Congre- 2ationalist.

STARTS FAST IN BAKERY.
Woman to Attempt to Duplicate RA4h-
 buns Experience Under Try Y ing CircumstAnces. E

Mrs. Herman Kolb, of Nyack. N- T: who is too stout for her own satisfse- ton, tipping the scales at 23s, has started out to reduce herself to suit able weight by fasting. The idea came to her from reading of Milton Rathbun's long fast. She had already lasted seven days, and is so pleased with her loss of weight that she is de termined to continue for the full 4e days.
 She wants to bring herself down 10 POO pounds, and her neighbOrs say she has the will to do it. She took her last meal on February % Since then she has taken no food. Her only re- freshment is large quantities of spring water. She lost 4a4 pounds the first six days. [.
 Her appetite is good at all times she says, and it has been sorely aggra- vated by the fact that she spends her days behind the counter of her hus- bands bakery surrounded by every variety of tempting cakes and pies.

A LIGHT BR1NGER.
Score Years of Integrity, COuR- age and Sympathy.

Out of a beautiful old home in the heart of one of the loveliest of old New England villages she has entered into tegrity. courage, widening sympathy and dawning light have at last Eberat- ed her. Her whole life had been one of emancipation. Instead of depicting her vitality, advancing years trans muted it into something more spiritual and tenacious; every decade found her further on the path to freedom. She moved steadily forward into clearer knowledge and so into more tolerant and deeply human relations with oth- CTS. She had always loved the best, for she was born to rectitude and re- flnement; but she confirmed the bent of her nature by her own choices; she grew out of fine, unconscious purity into conscious harmony with the best in life and thought. Her opportunities were of the best, but she was always greater than her opportunities; her associations were fortunate and en- riching. but her real fortune was in herself.
 From her earliest youth she seemed to hear a voice calling from beyond the narrow boundaries of her conscious life, and she followed with instinctive loyalty. She loved life and light with a passion of soul which seemed to bear her silently on into ever larger spheres. It was pathetic at times to see her standing, eager to pass on, but compelled to wait and learn. She wanted all fife and light now, and to be held back in a pursuit in which she never grew weary was at times sore trial. It is easy to imagine the burst of joy which came to her when she found the barriers down at last and the sky clear from horizon to horizon. 1t will be bliss enough for her, for many ana naany day. to sit still in the unshad0Yed Light and sun her soul. ThsTe vas fellowship between her nature aptj the sun; she loved high lights; she used to call hsrse;5 fire worsbiper; her whole nature kiudled and giONse when warmth or light of love or th ouEat touched her. So deep was her ideahSm- so victorious her aspiration, that faith and hope radi- ated from her. She carried ye eaker and poorer natures with her by sheer force of superior vitality. She was fife in- carnate, and now that she has gone to the source of life her whole career lies like broad beam across the years She was g child of the light. and 1t shone from her as she walked along the ways of men. Of suc'i as she born lovers of God and of their kind there is. at the end. no association with earth; the heavens are so near and real that the mind instinctively recalls the words which ftly commemorate the light-bringers: The wise shall shine as the brightness of
 the firm ament,
 And they that turn many to righteous.

Their parrot had died, and young Master Tommy, with his little sister Jennie, had just concluded the funeral services over the grave of their feath- cred pet.
 'I s'pose Polly is in heaven now," re- marked Jennie, tearfully.
 "Yes," remarked Master Tommy, "1 s'pose be is."
 "He-he's got wings, but he wouldn't be an angel up there, would he?" in- quired the little maid, anxious about his present status.
 "Oh!" cried Tommy; "he wouldn't be an angel; only people is that"
 '"Then what do you s'pose he is now?" persisted his sister.
 Tommy thought for moment. Then the light of inspiration dawned on his beaming countenance.
 Il guess Polly is bird of paradise now," he announced, joyfully.-N. '. Herald.

UPHOLDs sHEATHING
Admiral Dewey Strongly Opposes
 Change In Warships.
Says shsathsd Vessels Have Gss4f Advantage Over Those Not Thus
 Proteeted-Expsrisns IB -x. AsIstic Squadron.

Admiral Dewey drove a spike into the guns of the opponents of sheathing in the navy and took occasion to com ment upon the intelligence of the ex- perts who are responsible for sending back to congress the law, which sE- shorized six large ships originally iR- tended to be sheathed. There was a hearing at the house naval committee and Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey appeared to give their views in regard to the new ships.
 The only official advocate of sheath Ing was Rear Admiral Hiehborn, chief constructor, who submitted a long re- ply to his critics on the board. with tables which show that his position is sustained by foreign practice and re- suits. Secretary Long promised to send his rejoinder to the committee in 2 day or two.
 The committee asked Admiral Dewey for his views on sheathing and he gave them in emphatic terms in favor of the system. He was able to furnish specific instances of the advantages of sheath ing from among the ships on the Asiatic station. He said that aside from the possibilities of galEanic ae- Gon-which is denied in Hichborns report-there was much to commend the idea. The revenue cutter MeCul- loch at Manila was the only sheathed ship, and it was kept uninterruptedly in service between Manila and Hong Kong. He noticed that ships newly docked had vastly greater speed over ships which were not sheathed and had not been docked every few months.
 This meant great deal, he added. when vessels were on a foreign station in time of war. He volunteered the in formation that he was surprised that experts could be found to opposs Sheathing." Admiral Dewey's views made Q profound impression on the committee and may settle the moOted question of sheathed or unsheathed ships for all time. Several members of the committee said that. they were in favor of allowing the provision for sheathing to stand and of requiring the ships authorized this year to be shcathed Rear Admiral Hichborn's final report, which disposes of the al- legged chemical results of sheathinG. and which quotes hberally from Brit ish expert opinion, win add to the Dewey testimony.

Seeing by Wire.

Nearly two years ago it was an- nounced with some sensation in most of the daily newspapers that a certain Jan Szczepanik had invented an appa- ratus for seeing by wire, much in the same way as one can hear by wire through the medium of telephone. The publication of his patent. in due course, however, revealed nothing more than the old selenium cell idea of phy- sicians in a dress of no very startling novelty, and it was fair to surmise that Szezepanik was no different from the many working at this enticing problem, except in so far as he had been indis- erect enough 10 make a premature an- aoHncexness cf seeeess-LondonE Flee

TAKE TIME.

Take time to think: Thought oft will save thee from the snare. Bring thee to cooling streams and
 bowers
 Spare thee from nursing needless care, Surround thee with defensive towersi Yield thee the harvest of content. Lift thee from dust to starry ways, Discover comfort Heaven-sent In thy most dark and cheerless days, Therefore. take time to think. Take time to pray: For when thou praySt the vision cleared The voice is toned, the wills subdued, The dear are to thee more endeared. And the souls falling strengths re-
 newed.
 Tn prayer the purest words are spoken, The mind receives Heavens holy light, The heart is given the Spirits token, The hands are charged with wisdom'a
 might.
 Therefore take time to pray. Take time to praise: Praise is the witness that you see, Or hear. oB feel, or understand. Or trust where there Is mystery Above the workings of His hand It Is thy ch3d-attempt to prove Thy kiaship with the hosts above Who. as they in Gods presence move. Praise Him for His exhaustless love, Therefore. take time to praise. Take time to work: Know what a privilege 1t is
 To work with God. to have thy hand Engaged for Him. thy energies Developing meath His command. To share the stores of grace and truth Which to His faithful ones are given; In service to maintain thy youth, And hear the Lords Well done" tH
