Teach Us Thy Will.

God of the Father. God of Love. God of the Resurrected Son, Christ Jesus, From thy throne above, God of the Spirit Three in One Have pity on the blood we spill Teach us Thy will, teach us Thy
 will, Wars cruel fang has bitten deep, Wars vampires drink the blood of
 men. Wars scarlet banner deck the steep, Wars camp fires light the marsh
 and fen, Wars breath is like deathdamp chill Teach us Thy will; teach us Thy
 will. Send some sign forth from out the sky Whereby no brothers blood shall
 flow, Forbid the cursed battle cry, The wardrum's beat, the war fire $
 glow, Put Cain $ red brand on those that kill Teach us Thy will, teach us Thy
 will. Let love and reason, hand in hand, Lead us through the affairs of life: Teach us that in Christian land, Man may not gain his way through
 strife, Some sign our souls with awe to thrill Teach us Thy will, teach us Thy
 will. Twas not for this that Thou dId shed Thy blood on Calyary's crimson crest, The thorn crown pierced Thy sacred
 head.
 The death spear rankled in Thy
 breast, Thou earnest the world with love to
 fill;
 Teach us Thy will, teach us Thy
 will. Have mercy on the victor band Have mercy on the fallen crew; Dear Lord, they do not undrstand, Dear Lord, they know not what
 they do; But let Thy love surround us still, Teach us Thy will. teach us Thy will.

A MODIFIED RULING.
How Citizens of Town May Secure
 Fuel for Domesic Purposes.


 On February 10, 1900, the general land office issued new rules governing the use of timber by citizens of the territory from non-mineral public lands. It is provided in Rule 3, that settlers upon public lands and other residents of the states and territories named may procure timber free of charge from unoccupied, unreserved, non-mineral lands: strictly for their own use, for firewood, fencing, build ! ing or other mining, manufacturing or | domestic purposes but not for sale or disposal nor for use by other persons. The cutting and removal of timber or lumber exceeding in stumpage value $50 will not be permitted in any one year"
 This rule was at first limited to ranchers and miners who had not suf- fcient timber upon their claims for their own use.
 Special Agent Holsinger is now in receipt of letter from the commis- sioner of the general land office under date of April 20, 1900 instructing him that the department now holds that citizens of Arizona, townspeople as well as those living upon farms and those operating and developing min ing claims, are entitled to the free use of timber Also that residents of cit ies and towns who are unable to per sonally secure their supply of fuel may appoint some agents who, under the supervision of the special agent may cut and deliver the wood for them.
 The person authorized to cut for the citizen must notify the special agent of the general land office stationed in the territory and must cut under his direction and supervision.
 Special Agent Holsinger is directed to strictly enforce this rule and vigor- ously prosecute persons who are un- willing to comply with what the de- partment regards as a liberal and req sonable provision made especially for their benefit It is desired that timber be cut under direction of supervision of the department agent in order that strict account may be kept of all wood cut and that no wastes are committed and danger of forest fires prevented.

The Manufacture of Slate Pencils.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut from solid plate just as it is dug from the earth. Pencils so made were ob- jected to on account of the grit which they contain, which would scratch the states. To overcome this difficulty, Col. D. NJ. Steward devised and pat ented an ingenious process by which the slate is ground to very fine pow der, all grit and foreign substances removed, and the powder bolted through silk cloth in much the same manner as four is bolted. The pow der is then made into a dough and this dough is subjected to very heavy hydraulic pressure, which presses the pencils out the required shape and diameter, but in lengths of about three feet. While yet soft the pencils are cut into the desired lengths and set out to dry in the open air. After they are thoroughly dry the pencils are placed in steam baking kllns, where they receive the proper temper. Pencils made in this man. ner are not only free from grit, and of uniform hardness, but are stronger than those cut our of the solid slate. For these reasons they have entirely superseded the old kind. Over 25, 000,- 900 pencils were made and sold in the year 1899 by the D. M. Steward Manu- facturing company of Chattanooga, Tenn.
 As the use of pencils i'll this country has greatly decreasee in the last dec ade, foreign market has to be secured for this enormous output. The Stew ard company is now sending pencils to almost every civilized country in the world including Japan, China and India, as well as Europe.
