A BIG CURRANT PATCH.

Besides harvesting peas with now ing machine and raising asparagus in beds of 100 acres, Colorado now boasts of one more agricultural novelty-a currant patch of 30 acres--the largest in the world.
 The biggest currant patch heretofore known is said to be located in Michi- gan, and 1t comprises eight acres. The one in Colorado is at Longmont. In it there are 135,000 plants in all. The plants are set out in rows seven feet apart, and there are three and one-half feet between the plants in the rows.
 In the cultivation of these entrants irrigation has very important part, as it'd oes in the production of very many of the Vests fruits and vegeta- bles. By irrigation the currant plants in so large an area are given water von the very day they need it, instead of being dependent on a rainfall.
 Owing to a. sufficiency of water at just the right time, and also to the great amount of sunshine in this sec- ton, the flavor of the entrants is bet ter, superior sweetnest being easily detected. Colorado people aver that this is true of nearly all fruits and vegetables in their part of the United States.
 As many as 150 hands may be seen at work picking entrants in the gathering season. Both old and young are em- ployed in this occupation. Sometimes a ten-year -old boy has been found to do as well in a day as a. grown person in the number of pounds he gathers. say pounds, for all pickers gather by the pound, and are paid accordingly. One and one-fourth cents per pound is paid for picking. The laborers make all the way from 50 cents to $250 per day.
 The value of currant crop varies materially. A fair average for full bearing plantation would be one gal lon. or perhaps five pounds, to the bush. It is not uncommon for a cur rant bush to produce ten times that amount, but others will be almost bar ren, thus reducing the average of the bushes of the entire patch.
 J. H. Empson, a prominent citizen of Longmont, is the owner of the worlds biggest currant patch, together with his daughter. who take an active inter- est in the plantation.

WHY THEY VOTED FOR LINCOLN

Democrat Soldiers Who Were AL
 lowed to Go Home to Vote Turned Republican.
 No incident in the life of Abraham Lincoln better illustrates the greatness of his nature than the following, which
 has probably never before been related: At the time of the national election of
 1864, when President Lincoln was a candidate for reelection, some of the soldiers who were encamped about Washington were allowed to go home to vote The men soon discovered that those who were in charge of the arrangements were facilitating the
 movement of the men who were ex- the movement of those who would probably vote for General Mcclellan was being correspondingly retarded.
 This discrimination occasioned a good deal of anger and after much dis cussion one soldier, having in mind the we'll known fairness of President Lin-
 coin, proposed that three or four get into carriage and present the case to ] him. The suggestion was accepted and they were soon in the White House, ! where they were very cordially re- ceived.
 They told their story, explaining that they were Democrats and wished to vote for General Mcclellan, and that it seemed to them that they were not to be allowed to get away in time to vote. MT. Lincoln asked few ques- tions and then wrote and handed to them a message, addressed to their commanding officer, but did not ac- quaint them with the contents. As the men were returning to camp it was sug- gested that it might be we'll to read the message, in the fear that it might be an order for their punishment, but the suggestion was quickly. dismissed
 When the message was delivered to the officer, he read. You see that these I men and their friends are given every facility to leave for home immediately in order to vote" The order was
 obeyed promptly, the men reached home in ample time, and the veteran who tells the story says. T believe that each of us voted for MT. Lincoln,

ual uncleanness proceeds out Of it. Sin
of the head and of the heart are the
same. A man is what he wills to be,
and il he is not godly it is because he
will not be. His heart is not right
in the sight of God. Like cage of
unclean birds, the heart is full of
wicked desires and passions. Under
the debris Of SIN is the true self AS
our Loro drove from the temple those
that bought and sold, and the hosts of
their merchandise, so out of the heart,
the temple of the true man, where the
Christ should be crowned and reign,
he can drive the herds Of sins. Christ
is victor over sin. To every soul is
possible the victory by faith in Him.

ception we may have of it, the thought
carries the idea of the unclean and
hideous 1t is as revolving to the
thought as the picture Milton gives in
his personification of sin at the gate Of
hell; it is like a leprosy destroying
the moral life by gradual decay it is
purifying sore, gangrened and
itching it is as soroco sweeping over
the soul with the hot breath of hell,
leaving the spirit thirsty, parched
and furnishing.
"Sin destroys gradually and not at
one fell blow. Step by step the inno-
cent is led away from God. 1t is drink
by drink that the appetite is formed,
A seemingly innocent desire fans the
flame of passion, and passion drives to
the act, and the act is the evidence,
the nature of the character. Back of
henious crimes is the gradual approach
to them. Satan could not move Job
because back of the trial was life of
patience, without which he would
have gone down. Men fail because
they have been preparing for failure.
Like consumption, day by day sin has
been eating..out their moral life until
in the struggle they fail. The Duchess
Isabella, desiring to accomplish certain
purposes, was told by the court astrol-
oyer, to whom she went, to kiss each
day for hundred days designated
picture. She began to do so, and the
glow faded from her cheeks. then her
strength began to fail. and ere the
hundred days were gone she was dead.
A subtle poison was on the painting,
So every taste of sin helps destroy
the beauty and power OF the soul.
"Sin gives nothing in return Of
value to its slave. The wages of sins
is death. All who sit at its banquet
rise up hungry; all who sow to it's
winds reap the whirlwind all who
travel its highway hasten toward
hades. Sin takes the life blood, but
sin gives nothing in return for its

ways it disfigures. Though by skill

the former smoothness and beauty Of the
,kin cannot be restored. Though the

om and not be burned.

The public school enrolment of pa

way, and very discouraging in an

mans generosity TO man makes Ut
possible for the poorest boy or girl in

education. But it is more than dis
couraging. it is distressing. when we
see how this golden opportunity is
being neglected. In the four highest
white grades combined. there are only
10 boys in attendance: and IL of these
are in the lowest of these four grades !;
there being in the 9th, 10th and nth
grades. only six boys. and of these SIX
only one in the 18th. In the first
grade fifty-seven BOYS; in the 18th
grade one. What has become of them

dollars a week. Why did they stop

one time in twenty did they have to.
That is not one time in twenty were
their scant earnings absolutely neces-
sary to feed and clothe them. But
simply because they did not know any
better than to want to; and because
they were so unfortunate as to have
parents who would not control them,
these boys are allowed to waste the
best opportunity of their lives. The
six or seven grades they take, amount
to little or nothing except to prepare
them to take the higher ones. And in
this age of higher education and tiercer
