ne comes to church or does not come.
On his way from the store he sees a
placard announcing q rare and a vi
cious amusement. He has no greeting
at the door of the boarding house. He
has no appetite for the food. No one
cares whether he eats or does not eat.
Rather he would not eat. 1t is cheap
er. After the tea he goes into the par
lOr, takes up a\book, finds it dull, no
sister to look over it with him. Goes
up stairs to his room in the third story,
finds it cold and uninviting, and in de-
spair he rushes out caring for nothing
but to get something to make him stop
thinking. He is caught in the first
whirl Of sin. He has started out on
the dark sea where the CLEAN Of the
joy is the flashing of the pit and the
laughter is the creaking Of the gate of
the lost. Oh, how many graves there
are in the country churchyard which if
they could speak would tell of young
men who went off with high hopes and
came back blasted and crushed to dis
grace the sepulcher of their fathers.
And yet this exodus must go on. AS
from distant hills the rivers are pour
ed down through tunnels to Stake the
thirst of our great cities, SO from dis
tant country places the streams Of in
corrupt population must pour down to
purify our great cities. Tomorrow
morning on all the thoroughfares, in
every steamboat and in every rail car
will be young men going forth to seek
their fortunes in our great towns. o

faithful in Babylon as they were at Je-
rusalem! Forget not, o my young
friend, in the great seaports the moral
and religious principles inculcated by
parental solicitude, and if today seated
in the house of God you feel the adj
vantage of early Christian culture
forget not those to whom you are most
indebted and pray God that as old age
comes upon them and the shadow of
death the hope of heaven may beam
through the darkness. God forbid that
any of us through our misconduct
should bring disgrace upon a fathers
name or prove recreant to the love of q
mother. The dramatist made no exag-
geration when he exclaimed, "How
sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to
have a thankless childr' Oh, that God
would help you as parents and as
young people to take to heart the les
sons Of this important subject, and If
we shall learn that there is danger of
being carried into captivity and that
early impressions are almost ineffacea-
BILE and that there is something beauti-
full in Christian sobriety and that there
is great attractiveness in piety away
from home, then it will be to you and
to me a matter of everlasting congrat-
ulation that we considered how Daniel
behaved when he became a college stu
dent at Babylon.

The Trunk Paid.

Some years ago a man ran up a bill
of 5000 in the fremont House, Chica-
go, and then ran away without settling
it. The trunk which remained in his
room was unusually heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens of ore, brought
from the gold and silver mines of Col
orado, where presumably he had lost
all his money. After waiting out the
legal time Mr.. Gage sent the contents
of the trunk to an assayer, who return
ed two bits Of metal valued at more
than 500 in excess Of the bill after
deducting his own fees.

Yes, he said, nearly made myself
sick last night, smoking a cigar. But
if you don't like it why do you smoke
it? he was asked. Just to please Miss
Dolly. She likes the odor of good

But she does love dearly to reform
young men by making them swear of

to take an interest in me.

They Kicked Up the Ground and
Laid Bare VaIunbIe DenOsitn


Laid Bare Valuable Deposits.
The animal with the gazellelike eyes,
the sardonic smile and the wicked pair
of heels-the mule-is responsible for
the tripoli excitement in Jackson coun-
ty, Ind. The story of how the mule
once did good is an interesting one. A.
II. Harbaugh, a farmer living near
Frettown, seven miles north of here,
recently hitched a team of mules I'M
der a tree by the banks of Salt creek.
The mules were attacked by flies, and
in their frantic efforts to drive them
off they paved up the ground. When
the farmer returned, he found q pecul-
lar blush dust enveloping the animals,
and on the ground was heap of sand
as fine as -four. He became interested
in the find and so sent a bottle of the
sand to State Geologist Blatchley, who
soon sent back word that it was trip
oil, worth between 81 and Sc a ton.
Mr.. Harbaugh examined his own land
and found that great deposits were on
his farm. His neighbors, becoming in
terested, have done the same, and a
number of them have been fortunate
enough to find several small beds. The
deposit on Harbaugh's farm is more
than SO inches thick.
Tripoli is not easily found, for at
present there are but three extensive
beds in the United States. The lar
gest bed is in Newton county, Mo-, and
another extensive bed is in West Vir-
ginia. The people of Jackson county
claim theirs is the only deposit in this
region of the country, but this is wrong.
In Perry county, near st. Meinrad,
there is a splendid deposit, but it is
nearly inaccessible. The beds of Jack
son county, however, are easily reach
ed, for the Southern Indiana railway
IS near by.
Tripoli is used mainly for the pur-
pose of polishing. 1t is rather hard,
but it has not sufficient grit to cut met
al or glass surfaces. 1t is claimed the
Venetians were the first to use tripoli.
It is often called ''rotten stone," but
its technical name comes from Tripoli,
in which country it was first obtained.
Tripoli is principally silica, and it is
formed from the shells of microscopic
organisms, accumulated in oceans and
at wide intervals drifted, forming
deposit Another use in recent years
has been found for tripoli. 1t was for
some time used as an absorbent in
making high explosives, but in the last
few years gun cotton and other mate
rails have supplanted it. Besides this,
tripoli is used in making soap, and it
is claimed that delicate flesh is not in
jured by contact with it.-Chicago Rec
