Glacial Moraines.

The fact of greatest practical Importance
is that other glacial moraines in the United
States may possibly contain jewels like
those already discovered in the lake region.
There are such deposits in southwestern
New York and on Long Island. for instance.
1t would pay to keep sharp lookout
where gravelly ridges are being cut for
roads or other purposes in order to insure
the finding of jewels if any exist there. Dia-
monds in the rough are not exactly round,
though they may have blunt corners. They
tend to assume a crystalline shape, and
have slightly ,curving. not fiat, sides. Some
Of the Wisconsin diamonds had over a
dozen facets. The form does not closely re-
semble the cut stone nor does the pebble
glisten. Their remarkable hardness enables
them to scratch all other substances. Per-
haps they may not be over a sixteenth or
an eighth Of an inch in diameter. But any
thing family suggestive of cubical bit of
material found in glacial gravel ought to
receive critical study.

Diamonds From the South.


One Of the regions in the United States
from which small diamonds have been OBJ
tained is the Piedmont plateau, at the
southeastern base Of the Appala chan
chain, between southern Virginia and
Georgia. Nearly or quite a dozen, one
reaching twenty-three carats in size, have
been picked up there, under circumstances
that suggest the probability of having been
transported-rolled down hill, perhaps
many miles from the place Of their birth.
Geological conditions like those existing at
Kimberley have been observed in Kentucky,
discovered in that state. A possible eX-
PLANTATION of the failure is the lower proper
ton of carbon in the shale.
~ A somewhat difficult problem is raised by
finding seven diamonds, ranging in size
from four to tWenty-one carats, and num-
Der of smaller ones, in the great lake re-
gfon, under circumstances that indicate that
they were brought there by the great ice
sheet of the glacial period. Most of the
stones were discovered in Wisconsin, but
Michigan and Ohio have each reported one
or two also. In every instance the jewels
were hidden In the gravel of kettle
moratne,' a kind Of deposit which geclogiStS
recognize as having been left by a glacier.
Since the ice sheet which carried these
stones into the United States doubtless
Travelled hundreds of miles, possibly thou
sands, it is hard to locate the center from
which they proceeded, although this must
where. However, Canadian biologists have
lately expressed the opinion that the high
est land from which the ice sheet flowed
existed west of Hudson bay, but that the
source of the ice which invaded the lake
region was Labrador, east of Hudson bay.

talents and money 1.-The gifts God
had given him to use for His glory
and the salvation of the worldp He
found he had been intent on earthly
things, seeking his own carnal inter-
ests, pottering about the things of
the fesh--wheu he had been given
every chance to glorify his eccupa-
tion as servant of God. He felt so
miserable that he would have gone
back to the world to have redeemed
the time and lived nobler life, that
he might have wiped out from eter-
nifty these unutterable regrets. He
asked himself if it would be impossi-
BILE to obtain commission or permis-
sion to go back to that part of the
world from which he had come
clothed in human form and live over
his earthly life again, to prepare his
nature for a life in this celestial
kingdom--without narrowing memo
ries which would forever defile ?
While thus perplexed a glorified mes
senger came to him and told him the
hosts were waiting to hear him relate
his victories by which he had helped
forward the kingdom of Christ upon
earth-and especially if he had been
the means of bringing salvation to
the dear ones they had left behind.
Then he remembered his selfish
eagerness for life of ease and
comfort-and what could he say
He had no stories to tell save the
record of self-gratification, for he
had sacrificed nothing worth naming

Eggs and Divorce.

What man eats, that he is-a
rule that applies to woman, just as
much or little. Mrs. Sarah Rorer,
philosopher end artist of the palate,
has given a new explanation of the
frequency of divorce eff fewer wo-
men ate eggs for breakfast" says
this lady, "there would be fewer
cases of divorce" Eggs make their
eaters lazy. The feminine egg eaters
neglect their work. Their husbands
are dissatisfied. Quarrels and divorces
start from the egg. To the woman
who doesn't have to do housewoIk
eggs are just as pernicious. "The
social leader who over-indulges" in
eggs closes her brightness of eye, her
piquancy and charm" Her husband
closes interest. Then come lawyers. :"
Hens as factor of divorce; there's
a problem for the debating societies
and the women's clubs.--New York

Christian workers will feel inter-
ested IN the following article by John
Temple Graves in The Atlanta
News:
The account given by. General
Booth, of the Salvation Army, as the
secret of his conservation and efforts
for the spread Of the Gospel is very
interesting re ling. Space is too
limited to detai the account entire,
but.the synops'smay teach lesson
In a sort of vision he was brought
to the verge,of death. by severe ILL
ness, as he thought, and his friends
became greatly. alarmed. Previous
to that time he was protesting
Christian, in Christian community.
He said he thought be was active in
religious. work. He attended services
on Sunday and took en- active part
in teaching children. the truths OF
Christianity. He visited the sick and
gave some moneyto snpportreligious
work about him. Ins.l this he was
sincere He was no hypoorite. He
said he had gotten in to, arut Of
thought, action and profession ---hop-
ing it would all be well with him at
the close of life. ~ eaitR
When he.was so comfortably in
clined he saw himself in what his
friends said would be his fatal sick
ness.
In this vision--whatever il may
be termed-he saw his duty clearer
and found he had nothing to res:
upon but the mercy of the, Saviour
and he found himself repeating:
81 am poor sinner, just nothing in all,
But Jesus Christris'my all in ALL"
While this state of mind prevailed
cold numbness possessed him, his
breathing became difficult. His dear
ones wiped his brow, used restora-
tives, fell on their. knees. and .wept.

sciousness, and found himself out of

delightful beyond conception-and
the whole country twas filled with a
blissful ecstacy," "Sthat could only be
realized to be imagined. He felt he
was really landed in heaven, safe,
saved; to suffer and sin no more.
"Far from world of grief aud sin,
With God eternally shut in"
With all this celestial bliss in plain
view he found himself lonely in
heaven, Not one of the bright
beings, seraphim and cherubim, came
to speak with him. He begun to
feel an unfitness for association with
the inhabitants of the celestial coun-
try. He asked himself if he had gone
in uninvited OF, by mistake.
Then record was unfolded before
him. 1t was his own life's record
the deeds done in the body. He
found that all the things he had
done amiss, before his conversion,
were blotted sout; cancelled, as it
were. Some. friendly hand had gone
over the roll and stricken out, the
things he dreaded to see. Nor was
there any notice taken of his mis-
takes and errors: since the date of
his conversion. What he had COM
mitted that grieved him and what
he had sought forgiveness for were
not present to torment him but the
trouble lay in the real objects for
which he had lived in his earthly
life. How had he employed his time,
