SOME REASONS WHY.

The Lynchburg News has recently ex-
pressed great concern about the seeming
apathy of white voters in connection with
the registration under the new suffrage
law. Our contemporary is at a loss to
know why white men are so indifferent
about the matter. The advocates of the
understanding clause were given warning
that if that clause was pat in the Constitu
ton it would greatly reduce the white vote
in Virginia, but they persisted in making
tia part of the organic law of the State,
and the predicted result seems to be com
ing, with indications that one.third of the
white voters are likely not to register,
There are many sound reasons for this
condition of affairs. The understanding
clause" is considered by lnany as an ihqui-
siti0n; and sensitive men do not feel dis
posed to subject themselves to the test,
with strong possibility of being subject
ed to humiliation by being. refused the
right to register. There are others who
do not belong to the soldier class, and
who do not accept as just provision
which prefers men who have done militia.

not wish to parade their poverty by being
denied registration because of their power
ty, and securing the privilege of voting by

fraudulently administered. Justly all
these men consider the suffrage law an
iniquity and the registration ordinance
crime.
The Lynchburg News admits that it
knew that similar constitutional provisions
in Mississippi and Louisiana had reduced
the white registered vote in those states
to an alarming extent, but says it did not
expect such a result in Virginia. Why it
should have so concluded we are unable to
comprehend Like causes are bound to
produce like conditions when operated for
partisan ends. We did not hesitate to ex
press orr disapprova of the new suffrage
law upon the ground that it would go le-
duce the registered vote Of the State as to
ultimately put the government under the
absolute control of few, preferred class
of citizens.

Moors Indifferent to Life.
From the Family Herald.

FROM the tamliy Herald.
OF all oriental races there are none more
callous and Indifferent to human life than
the Moors A traveller who has recently re-
turned from Morocco related the following
anecdote in proof of this fact. The grand
father of the present sultan was one day
boating on the lake in the gardens of the
palace, the boat. by the way, being a small
steam launch given him by Queen Victoria
By some accident the vessel capsized, and
the sultan and two of his wives, by whom
he was accompanied, were thrown into the
water. A soldier on guard in part of the
palace out of view heard the cries, and,
running up, sprang into the water and res
cued the sultan's favorite wife. the ruler
himself scrambling out unaided. Later in
the day the soldier was sent for and pre-
sented himself joyfully before his monarch.
convinced that his reward would be great.
You are the soldier who rescued the de-
light of my eyes?" quoth the sultan. The
soldier bowed. did you dare to look at
her?" Il did. your highness. replied the
soldier, taken of his guard. The sultan
turned to officer. murmured few
words. and moment later the soldier was
on his way to the headsman. That was
his reward!

CHINAWARE.
Pieces Made to Sell for a Shilling
Bring Fabulous Prices.

From the New York Tribune.
In the great interest that is being mani
tested about old blue china there is Gu
rious tendency to specialize. and the ALI
around collector of ten OF twenty years
ago has given way to the collector of one
particular kind of objects. 1t would be in
teresting to know how many patient col
lectors there are OF pitchers only. l know
of over dozen in New York state alone.
Several Of them have preference for only
one kind of ware, the ever beautiful luster,
in silver, copper. rose and lavender tones.
A collection of pitchers of Wedgewood
make is not only beautiful and various. but
very costly as well. Nor is it yet impossi-
BILE, even with a collector on the qui vive
on every corner. Recently in Boston there
was sold at auction collection of Masonic
pitchers in black printed Liverpool ware,
several of them bringing over $50 apiece
Most of these were the generous old cider
pitchers, standing twelve inches high. and
having on them in one design or another
portrait of Washington, the greatest Mason
Of all.
The value Of the pitchers, or jugs as a
simon-pure collector calls them, is very
much increas ed when the name of the orgi-
nal owner is painted on them. This is gen.
orally on the front. inclosed in a wreath or
even in luster bands. The Masonic pitchers
without Washington portrait are usually
of less value, though they are Interestingly
decorated with quaint old verses in which
the spelling will not bear close scrutiny.
The old blue historic pitchers are too
scarce and rare to make a collection of any
size. but teapots are not hard to find in a
great variety of wares One city in the in
terror of New York state holds a private
collection Of 800 all different and scattered
an over the country are many others
number of them Boosting more than oO0
specimens. Old glass bottles form another
side line of great interest. as many of them
were made here to commemorate some
event of national Importance but they are
never pleasing to the eye. which is one of
the charms of all collections of china.

Scientific ENTERPRISE.
From the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
1t might astonish the average reader II
ne knew how large is the trade which is
nowadays carried on in objects of purely
scientific nature and interest. Ny eve
caught an announcement last week in the
pages of science paper TO the effect that
volcanic dust from ST. Vincent, from the
recent eruption Of La Soufriers, was on sale
in the shape of microscopic slides at one
and three each. This appears to me an
Illustration of commendable enterprise of a
scientific and commercial kind combined
The dust, 1t Is added was collected at Bar
bados. In every quarter of the world now
adays there are collectors of natural his
tory objects. many Of whom must make a
good living from the securing of whatever
is of interest in their respective localities
From rare ape to an uncommon SHE'LL
and from preserved dolphin to living mi
croscopic specimens sent by post in glass
tubes. the naturalist can really be supplied
with all he wants for the effective study of
his speciality.

his enlistment, he received two severe
wounds. both Of which rendered him an in

been reduced on the ground that Judge
Long was not totally disabled.

Most Ancient of Crowns.
From Leslie's Monthly

Among the crowns preserving the ancient
form more than any others now worn is the
so-called iron crown of Lombardy, which is
the most treasured national possession OF
the Italian kingdoms. 1t is of golden
plaques" or panels rather longer than
they are high, but small in size, so as not
to rise above the top of the head. They
form, indeed. only a jointed band of foil.
aged, embossed relief work, and one narrow
wire of iron binds them together in the in
side-this wire having the repute of being
hammered out from one of the nails of our
SavfOur's cross. 1t was the enlargement OF
these panels IN other crowns which led TO
the cross-band or closure of the crown.
Look at the German crown and the Aus
trian. both adaptations of that of the old
emperors of the Holy Roman Empire
The arch of empire" became the result in
the crown of the necessity for fastening
panels for protection for the head from

Crops and Locomotive Fuel.
From the San Francisco Chronicle,

The adoption of fuel oil on the locomo-
tives employed on the railroads traversing
the interior valleys of the state has removed
one of the chief sources of danger from
fire to the ripening grain fields. Locomo-
tives using it do not emit any sparks or
eject red-hot cinders to ignite the withered
grass along the right of way or the parched
grain in the neighboring fields Henceforth
grain-field fires will probably pass out of
the future history of the wheat-growing
valleys: the railroad claim agents occupa-
ton will practically disappear, a big leak
in the corporations treasury will be stop
ped and the farmers fire insurance rates
will drop to correspond with the diminish
ed risk the use of fuel oil on locomotives
has caused.

Forests and Rainfall.
From the Chicago News.


An example of the persistence of error is
the idea that the presence or absence of for
est has an influence on the amount of rain
fall. Some keen observer long ago detected
the fact that forested regions enjoyed a
heavier rainfall than those not forested and
jumped to the conclusion that rainfall was
produced by forests and that the removal
of forests diminished the rainfall. Looking
over the earth he found many treeless des-
ert regions and forthwith instanced them
as frightful examples of mems wasteful-
ness. Syria. northern Africa. parts of Italy,
are often quoted illustrations Of mans
destruction of climate. In reply man can
certainly plead not guilty. The geogra ply
OF this Mediterranean region, the configura-
ton of land and water and the direction of
the prevailing winds are such as to give it
a light rainfall-forests or no forests. The
situation Is really this: Want of rain pre-
vents the growth of trees, want of trees
does not prevent rain. ssie

croWning truth here taught is that
faith is the cure for sin. Jesus him
self interpreted this incident when
he said, ''And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up"
10. The Prophet Like Moses.-We
learned here to Sc in Christ the full
filment of all prophecy. Every true
prophet has given us a revelation of
God, but Jesus Christ has given us
the only perfect revelation of the
Most High.
II. Loving and Obeying God
The choice presented to the children
of Israel was that between obedience
to God and disobedience TO His will.
The same choice is presented to hu-
manity at the present day, and in
dividual selection determines the
choice of the nation.
y. The Death of Moses.-This
lesson brought to our notice the life
of a true servant of God. Moses
sinned, it is true, yet he died at
peace with God, and the Lord buried
him. Sin brings deprivation, but if
we repent, we may through Christ
become reconciled with God.
