nine months ago. He was one of the
best machinists in the state. He gave
I'D his position at the machine shops
in the Newberry mills some days
ago. and went to Greenville. but re-

No Reduction in Pearls.

London Express.
Although the pearl fishery season
in Ceylon has been record one. the
government earnings having amounted
to over $1,000, 900. (S5.ooo.ooo,) there
is no prospect OF a fall in the price OF
pearl necklaces.
.:Ceylon pearls said member OF
the firm OF Messrs. E. Hahn & Co.. OF
Hatton Garden, to an Express repre-
sentative recently. "will not affect
the British market
The bulk of the pearls we get
come from Western Australia
Prices are high, and a ten-grain pearl
will continue to bring $1,000 for some
time to come"
Mr.. Streeter, of the we'll known
Bond street firm, remarked that Cey-
lon pearls are never larger than a
pea--three or four grains at the most
Even a record yield" he said: "could
not bring about fall in the English

OF NEWBERRY COLLEGE

guilty conscience. The very highest
achievement of science in its efforts
to penetrate every part OF the. uni
verse was to erect an altar to the un-
known God. The knowledge of God
which is life was not knowledge
which science could give, but knowl-
edge OF God in his moral relations to
the universe. One half hour spent in
thoughtful consideration of the
Lords Prayer was worth more than
a hundred. years spent in the study
OF a philosophy which did not recog-
rize God as q personal God who lis
tened to prayer
The true knowledge Of God came
through Jesus. Apart from what
Jesus Christ had taught and wrought
it was not mere fancy, the thought
OF a world without father. This
knowledge was TO be obtained BY an
humble trust in Jesus. 1t was pos
sible to only an obedient heart. and not
to be gained merely by the activity
OF the intellect or of the intellect
working under the control Of con-
science. but by intellect, senslblllty
and will working under conscience.
He liked sometimes to dwell on the
greatness OF the nature which God
had been pleased to give men, But
the human spirit was capable Of no
higher achievement than this, the
knowledge of God which is life. which
brings a new life.
The speaker told of the character
istics of the life to which he had re-
ferred. 1t was within the power of
all to receive this new life. This life
also was irnperishable and indestruct-
ible. His last characteristic was that
it would reach perfection when our
knowledge of God was brought to
perfection.
Eternal life might be had for the
asking. God and the knowledge OF
him and his son was given to every
willing and obedient heart.
In the close of this college year,
he said in conclusion to the students,
let the Christian life be exalted before
YOU. To trust and to live for God
is the one life worthy Of all effort.
Whatever attainment you have made
in the wctld, in sincere. philosophy or
in language. add this to everything
else. The knowledge OF God, of
Jesus Christ. whom God sent to be
the Savior OF all the world.
The benedition was pronounced
by the Rev. J. H. Harms. Of Harris
burg. Pa.
At both the morning and evening
services collections were taken to
defray the expenses of commence

pm&e iynching and burning at the stake For the slightest things, so when our porter was unusually attentive to a young woman on the car dad hauled him oyer the coals, and scared him so by talking of hanging, and burning in lxerosene oil, that the negro got winter than your shirt, and when he got away from dad he came to me and asked If that old man with the red nose and the gold-headed cane was as dangerous as he talked. I told him he was my dad, and that he was walking delegate of the Ama1gamated Association of Negro Lyrchers, and when a negro did any thing that he ought to be punished for they sent for dad. and he took charge of the proceedings and saw that the negro was hanged, and shot, and burn ed up plenty. But I told him that dad was crazy on the subject of giving tips to servants, and he must not fall dead when we got to Washington if dad gave him a $50 bill, and he must not give back any change. but just act as though he always got $50 from passen- gers. We'll. you'd a dide to see that negro brush dad 50 times a day. and bring a towel every few minutes to wipe off his shoes, but he kept one eye about as1big as an onion, on dad all the time, to watch that he didn't get stabbed.

teristics of their surfaces, while spher- ical astronomy determines the direc- ton of body from the earth at a giv- en time and Is largely a matter of ge- ometry The instrumental courses teach chiefly the use of the equatorial, as the big telescope of an observatory Is called, and the meridian circle-a telescope fixed on the north and south line and used for determining either the exact position of an object from the time of the exact time from It's po- sition. It is by means of the meridian circle that the time of the whole world Is corrected every day, for example. The Radcliffe girls in addition to their lectures and class work, visit the ob- servatory at intervals and the instruc- tor in charge of the instrumental course has a little observatory with smaller apparatus at his home for their more frequent use.
 One practical use to which astronom- ical knowledge is put nowadays is 8 little surprising to the uninitiated who thinks of the science as something rather apart from more worldly stud les. For instance, an architect some- times finds 1t of great importance to know how the light will strike a building at all hours of the day and in uLbcHCut ScdbOHS-d lnInB that might affect a whole scheme of decoration and coloring. The only way he can tell is by determining what the pre- else position of the sun will bo at those times, and for this spherical as- tronomy Is necessary. In drawing the plans for an art museum, or for a pri- Vate residence in which there is a pie ture' gallery the question of lighting is often puzzling one and the great glass domes that give illumination must be carefully devised to admit the sun at the proper angle and from the right direction to assure the best dis play of both paintings and statuary Here again the astronomers assist ance Is sought and he has helped solve problems that were stumbling blocks for many years.

PERMIANENCE OF CURE.
The Chief Merit.

Many so-called pile remedies will af- ford the user slight temporary relief, and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women espe- cially, after having tried every precau tion recommended for the cure of Piles, have come to the conclusion that there Is no cure except by an operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread be- cause of the shock to the delicate ner- vous system of women, and many of those afflicted have resigned themselves to the situation with never a thought that there is any help in sight for them.
 We invite the attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose ad- dress is given below:
 T fell it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles, I am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, 156 Whitman St, Cleveland, Ohio"
 Ten months later she writes: T am glad to say that I am still perfectly free from Piles, and have not had the slightest trouble since I first used your remedy. I am well known in Cleve- land and have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure extensively here. I take pleas ure in doing so as 1t saved me from an operation, which l always dreaded, and you are assured the remedy can have no frmer advocate than l."
 Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical, that Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures, but cures to stay cured. It is in the form of a supposi- tory; can be applied In the privacy of the home, directly to the parts affected. and does Its work quickly and pain Iessly.

FARMING ON BIG SCALE.
One Garden Patch of 00,000 Acres n
 Three Washington Counties.
Spokane Spokesman.


 Spokane Spokesman.
 W. H. Babcock of walla walla, and E. F. Benson of Tacoma, owners of the largest single ranch in Washing ton and probably the largest in the Northwest, were in Spokane recently. MT. Benson was >en route from the ranch to Prosser, Wash, and MT. Bab- cock was on his way to the big ranch at Trinidad.
 The ranch owned by these two men comprises 66,000 acres, which they own, and 24,oo0 acres held by lease. It Is fifty miles from one end to the oth- CT. The land is in a section where three years ago were 300 square miles without a single settler! Mir. Bab- cock purchased 1t about five years ago and believed it could be we'll supplied with water and made good paying farm.
 The good wheat land is on a beach HOO feet above the Columbia River and two miles back from the river. A thirty horsepower traction engine Is used to pump the water from the Co., lumbia back upon the beach and into a big reservoir holding 100000 gallons. Water from this reservoir is piped a considerable distance to point where it will be handy for the big traction engine that runs the blow and Is also used for domestic purposes.
 A seventy-flve horse power engine and boiler work on the river bank near the traction engine and with a twelve inch centrifugal pump irrigates the bot tom land. where the alfalfa Is to be raised. The entire ranch is new, raw land and this spring the first blowing was done. A seventy-five horse power traction engine is used to draw the big n1nW ha vii fhraa.hnttorn cutting eighteen feet. This spring 2.000 acres have been plowed up at the rate of sixty acres a day. Next spring from 5000 to 5000 acres | more will be plowed. To operate this f blow necessitates four men and four horses. One man and a four-horse team supply water and coal. One en- gineer, one fireman and one blow ten der complete the crew. The engine takes two tons of coal day and about 4.000 gallons of water. The coal had to be hauled this spring from a half to three-quarters of a mile. The culti- vated land will be put in wheat and oats.
 In addition to this the company is going into the sheep and cattle busi- ness. using the part unfit for cultiva- ] tion. As an indication of the size of the ranch, a strip eighteen miles long | and three miles wide and lying9on the west side of the Columbia River has been fenced. To do this necessitated four car loads of barbed wire. In ad- dition to this a part of the ranch east of the river is also fenced. The ranch lies in Douglas. Kititas and Chelan counties.
 Mir. Babcock and MT. Benson are putting in thirty miles of telephone line over the ranch, which will be in operation within a few days. In addi- ton to these big holdings MT. Babcock | personally owns 11,000 acres of wheat land in the Eureka wheat country, near l Walla Walla, said to be some of the most valuable farming land in the vii cinity. It Is all under cultivation.
