Another Trust.

'hIIls.O CHfOnlGIc.
Dr.. Macarthur, pastor of
the Calvary Baptist Church,
New York, is evidently the most
optimistic man of the country.
Seeing the almost universal
tendency toward gigantic enter
DriSes and trusts, he predicts Il
great love trust in which all the
nations of the earth will be
united, having the United States
and Great Britain as the dOmi-
nant factors.
As yet there is little evidence
of this lUVo trust. Our country
anG Great Britain both have been
and still are absorbed in grab
bing what seems to them the
gre attest financial advantages
tn " have given little thought or
care to altrui~tic sentiments.
Even if America and England
should establish Il love trust it is
dOl! btful whether Germany and
Russia would enter into it under
the leadership which DR.. Mac
Arthur names. Russia is not
to be deceived by any alluring
bait, and Germany is always dis
truStful of EnGland-aS she has
rea son to be.
The millennium is not 50 rear
at hand as tn" prophets and op-
timiStS predicts. As vet not
even simple Justice is in sight,
let alone any thought of mercy
or love between nation and
nation.

suddenly l awoke.

gan TO believe there must be some
thing in it. made few cautious in
quiries, and, without betraying myself,
gained the information that there
actually was a village, not an hour
distant by rail, which answered ex-
actly to the description Of the place l
had seen in my dream.
My mind was made up. ! went to
the station and demanded ticket for

gone. but that there would be another
in half an hour, and, as it was a beau
tiful day, l resolved to take a walk;
unfortunately, I strayed too far, and
on my return to the station saw the
train just steaming out. Instantly 1
remembered that it was by the third
train that l had travelled in my dream.
When, two hours later, l arrived at
NJ, ] had no difficulty in finding my
way TO the vicarage, and was not at all
surprised TO hear that the vicar was
not at home. Exactly as had happened
in my dream, the housekeeper at first
demurred to my request for the key,
but finally yielded.

great bound when I opened it at ran
dom and read Matthew IL to Ellen
R." I made a note Of the entry in
Getail and returned to the vicarage.
By this time the vicar had returned,
and, in a matter-of-fact way, I asked
for the certificate of the marriage in
question, giving dates, etc. As there
was nothing unusual in my request OF
my manner, he complied as a matter
Of course, and returned home armed
with the certificate.
But now that had got it, what was
I TO do with It? What was to be the
next step?
I could think of only one course.
Foolish as 70 may appear, advertised
It in one of the daily papers, and by
return Of post received an answer
from a firm Of solicitors informing me
that they had vainly searched every
where for the certificate. as it was Of
the highest Importance to a family OF
good birth. but in very reduced eircum-
stances. Now that the register had
been found. It would mean affluence
instead Of poverty, as a large fortune
depended solely on the production Of !
the certificate in question.

REVEALED In DREAM
Truly Remarkable Story Told by
English Clergyman.
Compelled by Unseen Force to secure
Copy of an Old Marriage Ger
tificnte from Vicar of an
Obscure Church.

The following remarkable dream
story is given in the words in which it
is told by the dreamer, a clergyman Of
high repute in England, of whose abb
solute truthfulness there can be not
the faintest possibility Of suspicious:
a few months ago 1 fell asleep and
dreamed. In my dream ! saw spread
before me the open pages of book,
which a glance showed me was a
Church register book, and in clear
writing ] read the details of the mar
riage OF Matthew IL to Ellen R.

lister were far a'Say, although l could
read it SO distinctly.
l felt a strong impulse to go to the
railway station. without knowing my
destination, except that it was
country village. asked for a ticket,
and was told by the clerk that the train
in the direction wished to go had left
some time ago, but that another train
was due in half an hour, and he prom
ised to call me.
/ felt no surprise at receiving a
ticket without giving the name of the
place TO which wished to travel. To
my great annoyance, however, the
man neglected to call me when the
train arrived, and again l had to wait
for another. This time l was more
successful, and after journey Of just
under an hour / alighted at a pretty
little country station.

burg when the first battle Of Manas-
ses, or Bull Run, opened. The com.
mand was ordered to the field, and ID
made the march in remarkably quick
time, winning words of praise from
Gen. Magruder. The men were not al
lowed to halt on the march. the roads
were dusty and the weather warm,
and they suffered terribly from thirst.
When the battlefield was reached the
command was thrown into the fore
front Of the fighting Almost directly
in front of the regiment was a spring
of cool water, completely covered,
however, by the guns Of federal bat
terry. This tempting spring, so near
and yet so far. was exceedingly tan
talizing to the thirsty men, and finally,
when human nature could stand it
no longer, two young boys, both un-
der 16, whose names, unfortunately,
have been lost in the fight Of time,
volunteered to get some water from
the spring. With a lot Of canteens
strung over their shoulders the two
young heroes started on their perilous
journey. As soon as they came with
in range OF the federal battery 1t
opened on them, and a perfect hail
Of canister and grape swept the field.
The two lads reached the spring un-
injured, and quickly filed the can
teens, while their comrades watched
with breathless interest, expecting
every moment to see them struck
down. Suddenly. as If by magic, the
fire of the battery ceased. Then as
the boys started on their return to the
regiment an officer on horseback rode
out from between the guns of the bat
terry, and, lifting his hat, waved it to
the boys, while a hearty cheer broke
from the throats of the cannoneers.
The officer had discerned the mission
of the lads and given orders to stop
firing. The cheer was responded to
by the thirsty confederates, and few
moments later they were pouring the
refreshing water down their dusty
throats.
Possibly at Kennesaw, when the
men and boys Of the First Arkansas
regiment saw the unfortunate wound
ed boys in blue in danger Of horrible
death in the burning woods, they re-
membered the incident Of the first
great battle OF the war.

Marks of sin.

Sin sets its seal upon the human face
as distinctively as righteousness. An
article in a New Orleans paper states
the fact that experienced barkeepers
can tell what a man drinks by the pc
culiar discoloration Of his skin. There
is, it appears, livery Of whisky, Of
brandy, beer, absinthe-each one do
ing its deadly work with strict indi-
viduality. In no little corner Of the
creation is law imperative, whether
il be the law Of life or the law Of sin
and death. Could we but trace to its
bitter end the destructive work Of each
agency of evil we would doubtless fad
even more distinctive markings in soils
than science finds in bodies

THE CURING OF HAY.
Some Reasons why the Best Quality
Has Necessarily TO he Made
I'm the shade.

Every year there are many ques'
tions about curing hay. Early-cut
grass contains more moisture than
that which stands until dead ripe, and Is
harder TO cure. Hay is grass with
the water taken out of it. The water
is removed by the wind-a hot breeze
while the sun is shining giving ideal
haymaking conditions. The easiest
way for the water to be taken from
the plant Is through the leaves.
When these leaves are dried and
killed first of all there will be con-
siderable water left in the stem. and
this will move out very slowly. When
the leaves are left fresh. they suck on
pump the water rapidly from tho
stem, and thus dry II quickly. Cut
down two trees in full leaf. From
one take every green leaf at once
and let the leaves on the other Slow
ly wither and die. You will find the
first tree wet and soggy, while tho
other Is dry-having been sucked or
pumped by the leaves. These things
explain why the best hay is made in
the shade. The leaves are not with
cred, but keep on pumping water
from the stems and sweating" Il
out. Clover especially IS best cured
IN the cock. It's thin. broad leaves
are quickly wilted in the hot sun,
while in the pile they keep at work:
We must remember that some sam-
pies Of early-cut clover contain over
1000 pounds Of water in every ton
and that 1.5OO pounds OF the water
must be taken out in n short time.
One reason why the tedder makes
such useful hay tool Is that il
breaks the stem and gives the water
chance TO escape.-Rnral New
Yorker

FARMvILLE VA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER TO- 1902.

The waters of the Caribbean will
float next winter the largest feet of
M c American warships
which has been as
""'"' sembled anywhere
since the blockade of Santiago. The
ships OF the North Atlantic squadron
will assemble at Hampton Roads about
the middle Of November, and those Of
the South Atlantic squadron at Ba-
hia, Brazil, three weeks later. Mean
while Admiral Crowninshield will
gather the vessels of the European
squadron at Gibraltar, and stopping
to coal them at the Cape Verde islands,
will sail across the Atlantic. The
three squadrons, with all available
torpedo boats and destroyers, will
mobilize at Culebra island, near Porto
Rico, or at Guantanamo, Cuba, about
the first Of January. There, for two
months, they will be organized and
drilled. Six or seven frst-class battle
ships, twice as many cruisers, and
gunboats and smaller vessels, bring
ing the total up to 80 or more, will
compose the great feet assembled for
this impressive game Of war. These
maneuyers, says the Youths Compan-
ion, will encourage a healthy rivalry
between the divisions and gun crews.
The "man behind the gun" will be
drilled in the art Of loading it quickly
and pointing it accurately, and new
appliances for improving speed in load
ing will be tested. Besides this, the
movements Oft fleet will be specially
directed to the problem Of the defense
of Porto Rico and the approaches to
the proposed isthmian canal. The war
game is not wholly play; it is a prep
aration for possible emergencies Incl
dent to the enlarged responsibilities Of
the United States.

American Life said William R.
Earle, of Massa-

to a New York Commercial Adver-
tiser man, "if instead of visiting
New York and then Fastening from
there to Boston, from Boston to
Pittsburg and from Pittsburg to
Chicago, they should take in the
smaller towns, live their life for a
few days, become saturated with
their atmosphere. A traveller in
France will not know France nearly
so well if he made a dash for Paris
as If he took in the dear little towns
in the southeast and on the seacoast.
I think you will find a truer express
sion of American character in our
small towns. Within city walls one
degenerates so easily into a mere
type, and becomes so material in the
contagious chase for the golden god.
In the small towns you may be a
healthy, happy indiyidual-contact

ture, must make you so. And the
life itself is so delicious, with its
calm, its hospitality, its general good
will. Everyone knows everybody
else. and It is like living with a

quests Of foreign visitors; but the
number would be increased out of
