y ENGLISH ADMIRAL who fought
Il in the battle Of Navarino in Octo-
Der, 1927, died at his home in Ports
mouth few days ago. He was Adj
mlral Sir Erasmus OmmarrAey. known
as the father Of the British navy. "
Few men are now alive who were old
enough when the battle of NavarinO
was fought to have any recollection of
It, This man was not only old enough
to remember it, he was old enough 70
take part in it, The English. French
and Russian fleets, a curious combina-
ton, that had united for the protec-
ton of Greece, which was threatened
then, as it has been threatened since.
by the Turks.
Under the command OF Admiral Cor
rington, who long since passed to his
reward, the allied fleets entered Nava-
rino bay and engaged the Turkish
Egyptian vessels. The result was their
utter humiliation. Ommanney was
just Is years old at the time. He had
entered the navy only the year before.
go he soon had an opportunity TO be-
come acquainted with the smell of
gunpowder. And the greater part Of
his long life he spent in the navy. 1t
was the natural channel for his talents
and so web did he use them that he
was the ranking officer Of that navy.
And what a change he saw in the
British navy. He saw it start with
wooden frigates propelled by sails
Then came the steam vessels and then
the floating fOrtresses. The navy grew
up under Ommanney, grew in power
and greatness. Well did he earn his
title, father Of the British navy" well
has he earned the rest that has come
to him now.

An interesting feature of Joseph W.
Folks testimony at St Louis in the
Blair case is his statement that he told
the late Mr.. Blair that il the evidence
showed that he should be indicted he
certainly would be indicted and pros

quite sure he would have done exactly
as ne said. Notwithstanding the fact
that Blair was his good friend.

PHILIPPINE CUT-A- PERCHA.
Method of Harvesting in the Islands
of Mindanao and Tawi-
Tawi.

The last source of gutta percha devel-
oped is that in the Philippine islands,
but here the regions which produce this
material for the market are confined to
the islands of Mindanao and Tawi-Tawi.
The method of harvesting used at pres
ent by the natives, says the Electrical
Review, consists in cutting down thelarge
trees, ringing the trunk, looping off the
larger branches, and then catching the
milk as 1t flows out This is very waste.
ful, as but a small part of the milk is
secured. Fortunately, however, this
process pays only with large trees, SO
that the smaller ones are not destroyed.
This method of harvesting has been pro-
hibited and rules provided for tapping
the trees, but these have never been en-
forced. At the present time the gutta
percha trees have disappeared from the
coast regions and are along the large
rivers.
The various governments with trop-
ical possessions in the east are study
ing the gutta percha and rubber situa-
tion, with view of determining proper
methods of propagation and harvesting.

FROM THE ENDS OF THE ROAD

1 can see a county highway where the
lazy cattle browse
On the dew-wet roadside herbage, and
along behind the cows
Lolls a freckled little urchfn with an
alder switch, and he's
Slashing leaves from off the bushes; and
the giggling country breeze
Lifts his curls up from a forehead that's
as smooth as smooth can be,
And there's something in the urchin that
reminds me some of me.
Guess it's me all right: and Brindle
ambles slowly on before,
And Old Pied and old Brown Betsy, all
the cattle known of yore,
And l know the idle switching of the
bushes by the way
Shows dIscontented spirit in the me
of yesterday;
For the me of then is longing for the
ways twas mine TO gain:
But the me of now is fretting for the old
time country lane
oh, the me of then knew nothing Of
the things of which l dreamed,
And the city called me- called me, and
all things were what they seemed;
But the me here in the city with his hair
grown thin and gray
Knows each thing of which he's longing,
eVry path Of yesterday,
Which one is the least contented that me
boy who longed Of yore,
Or the man whose years have brought
him ev'rything he hankered for?

VALUE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Acquisition of Islands Has Increased
Traffic Between America
and Asia.

OF immense advantage to our people,
both for observation and for develop
ment of trade with the orient, is the posi-
tion of the United States in the Philip
pine islands, says H. w. Scott, in "The
Asiatic Trade of Our Pacific States" in
Century. To the acquisition of this great
archipelago by the United States is due
large part ofthe increased activity of
the traffic between America and eastern
Asia. 1t is not merely the governments
transport business that swells this COM
merce, nor yet the supplies of forage,
lumber and provisions purchased in our
Pacific states, for use in the public serv-
ice in the Philippines, that constitute the
chief Importance of this new movement.
1t is found rather in the fact that through
our possession of the islands we are
placed almost directly in touch with the
entire commerce of eastern Asia, and are
in position to enter into it on all sides
with increasing advantages.

PRESIDENT WAS A TAILOR.
Back n Cloak That Didn't
Suit Him.

One Of the retired business men Of
Washington narrates an experience
with Mrs. Stover, a daughter of Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson, who resided at
the white house during the presidency
Of her father, says the New York Trib-
une. He says:
MRS. Slower came to my store and
bought stylish cloak Of the then
modern pattern, the price Of which
was SIS. She had it sent to the white
house and charged to President John
sons account.
about one week later she sent the
cloak back, and as We had not re-
ceived cash for it we were obliged to
take 1t.
"Mrs. Slower gave no explanation
Of her course then, but short time
afterward when she visited the store
l asked her what was the cause o. her
dissatisfaction with the cloak and she
answered:
"I was satisfied with, it, but papa
was not. He said that the cloth was
not Of the best, the workmanship in
ferior and the price too high. Now,
1t is useless for you to argue with me
about 1t, for ] don't know anything
about it. If you want to argue about
1t, go to the white house and see papa.
He was tailor, you know, and he car
talk shop to you all right"

An Igorrote Dainty.

Igorrote women are skilled in cook
ing dogs. Their method is to stuff the
dog just as one would stuff a turkey, al
though the basis of their stuffing is boiled
rice rather than bread crumbs. The
dog is prepared fos the pan much as is
a rabbit. 1t is not cooked in an oven,
but in special copper pans with lids.
The lid is shut down tight and the pan
is set on bed of hot Goals. When the
cover is opened, the dog is found to bc
baked rich, deep brown, although the
feasters do not waste much time admir-
ing the product of the cooks skill.

GIRLS FROM PORTO RICO.
Native Maidens Leave Their Island
Home to Work in the
United States.

There was sad but plucky contin-
gent of Porto Rican girls on board the
San Juan as she steamed out OF the
harbor last night, bound for New Or
leans, from where they will proceed
to st. Louis to begin an independent
struggle for their livelihood. Their
families and friends were as visibly
affe ,ted. The enterprisiBg and fearless
girls, the Oldest perhaps not over 19
years old, numbered 23, says a recent
issue of the San Juan News.
Contracts have been made with them
by Francis Lynch, the representative
OF the st. Louis Cordage company, to
give employment to the girls in their
factories, as weavers or in any other
branch of the trade for which the girls
may show particular aptitude. The
company has bound itself to pay for
their passage from their respective
homes in the island to st. Louis. In
that city they will be lodged in COM
Portable and modern quarters and pro-
vided with table board and other nec-
essaries. In addition to this, they will
be paid so cents a day, which will be
increased as the girls become more ex-
pert or enter another department in
the factory. The firm did not place
any stipulated time in their contracts,
except as to guarantee them work for
as long period as they wished to re-
main.
The company has not, however, pro-
yided against the whims or change of
mind of any Of the girls. If any one
finds after being there a short time
that she cannot stay, she has the priv
ilege of resigning her position. The
has no hold on her whatso-
ever The purpose of securing Porto
Rican labor is due to a certain conf
dence that the people of this island
have a natural fitness for this kind of
work.
The venture is wholly experimental,
but If it proves satisfactory more peo-
pie will be taken to st. Louis.

Manila's New Fire Department.

The American occupation of the Phil
lppines has made its impression by the
way things are done. The fire depart
ment in Manila Is striking innovation
to Filipino eyes. and doubtless those
who wear its pressed white suits and its
impressive helmets feel that they have
indeed risen in the world. Ex-Chief
Hugh Bonner, of New York city, was
the organizer. The old method of fight
ing fire could hardly be styled method.
1t was merely matter of passing can
vas buckets from hand to hand to the
tops of the low houses. A hook and lad
der company was hardly required. Such
d fire ladder as is used in New York is
two or three times as high as the ordi-
nary building in Manila.

When Birds Begin to Sing.

The earliest feathered riser, says a
naturalist, is the greenfinch, which be-
gins piping at 1880 a. m. At 4:3O the
blackbird sings; at five the thrush, and
somewhat later the notes of the chat
finch, linnet and lark are to be heard.
Last on the list of songsters come the
sparrow and tomtit, but the lark is suf-
ficiently behindhand to disprove its
claim to be called an early riser.-Na-

way by which the performance OF tbs
task is made possible. And surely
God cannot be charged with unrea-
sonable exactlon when He commands
us to be holy and perfect, inasmuch
as He. has provided way by which
man may meet His commands and con-
ditions. God says: BE ye holy"
and then pointing to His perfect Son,
He says: Behold the Lamb Of God,
which taketh away the sin of the
world" Unrighteous before God
apart from Christ, but in Christ, ac-
cepted because of His Righteousness.
AS Paul puts it in the third of Phil
ippians: THAT | may be found in
Christ, not having a righteousness OF
mine own, even that which is Of the
law, but that which is through faith
in Christ, the righteousness which is
from God by faith" The first condi-
ton, then, of doing the will of God
is in obtaining from Him that right
eousness which we have not of our
selves, and this is realized by faith
in Jesus Christ as the personal Sa-
viour and the One Who cleanses from
all sin.

n DING the will of God may bring sut-
~ fering, but it means blessing in the
end. But what comfort to know that
the affection is In line with the will OF
God. Peter says (and who is there who
knew what suffering meant better than
he-surely none, save it were Paul.
Wherefore let them also that suffer
according to the will of God commit
their souls in we'll doing to faithful
Creator" The Cody shall suffer perse-
cution, but what glory is to some day
shine out of that suffering! We say
"Thy will be done" as though 1t were
the hardest and saddest thing in all the
world, when 1t is the most glorious, for
that will will find its joy and realiza-
tion ultimately in the best and most en-
during. Doing Gods will is a copartner-
ship affair Christ by His indwelling
Spirit Is present and ready to help us do
what we cannot do ourselves. And not
only does Christ's strength become our
strength, but His desires become our
desires ''The Spirit maketh interces-
sion for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered; and He which searcheth the
hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit, because He maketh intercession
for the saints according to the will Of
God" Surely, this is blessed encourage
ment for those who desire to know and
do the will of God. Christ the One Who
gives us His Righteousness, Christ the
One Who dwells within to help us do
the will Of God. The highest end and
aim OF man should be, as Peter puts it, to
no longer live the rest of his time in the
flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will
of God Let us will to do the will Of
God!
The Lexington advertiser., 1904-08-18

TT ERE we have illustration of two
l L classes of people in the world to-
day. Both refuse to do the will of God.
One class recognize the claim of God
upon them, but being so occupied with
their own affairs, and the doing of their
own will, they fail to do the will of God.
The other class in rebellion of heart re-
fuse to recognize that God has any claim
upon them. And would that it were
true that all in such rebellion would re-
pent and do the will of God. But, alas,
many, many will not! But there are
those who are coming. The will is be-
ing given up for Gods will; the desire of
man is being given up for the desire of
God. The family circle of Jesus is grow
ing In ever widening stretch of arm
He points out His mother and brethren,
including not those who only say Lord.
Lord, and go on doing their own will, but
including those who do the will of God.
The acceptance of Christ is the begin
ming of the doing the will of God. The
successive steps are taken as we do the
will of God as it is revealed to us. One
step at time, is Gods order. God S
Word assures us that IF any man will
eth to do His will he shall know of the
teaching" If you live up to the light
you have, when you need more light for
the next step, God will see that you have
it. Many Christians are cropping about
in the dark, are discouraged and their
faith is dim because they have failed to
do the will of God as far as it had been
revealed to them. They wanted to see
all the way, and because they could not
they refused to take the first step which

all sin,
n DING the VIII Of God, then, involves
~ the acceptance OF Jesus Christ as
Saviour, and this act depends upon the
real desire to do the will of God. 1t in
wolves the attitude of the heart towards
God. The Scribes and Pharisees, the
leaders of the Jews, came to Jesus, talk
ing about God their Father, and pre-
tending to be jealous for God and the
doing of His will. But they were not
willing to accept the Christ, the Son
Whom God had sent into the world to
save the world from sin and unrighteous-
ness; and, because they were not willing,
Jesus declared they were of their IA
ther the Devil, and that they did his
will and not Gods will Man cannot do
the will of God while his attitude towards
God is not right, any more than that
child who is in rebellion against the
parent can do its fathers will. A re-
bellious heart cannot do the will of
parent on God. Note the parable which
Christ spoke of the two sons. One with
rebellion in his heart said, when told
to go and work in the vineyard: Il will
not 60" And while rebellion ruled he
went not. But afterwards he repented
and went The desire to do the fathers
will took possession of his heart and he
went and did it. And the second son
who outwardly assented, but went not,
lacked as much as die the rebellious son
the desire to do the fathers will He
recognized the right of the father to
him to go into the vineyard,
but he was so busy doing his own will,
and seeking his own desires, that tEerc
was no room to desire the will of the
father, and so went not.
