An Eternal Crown.

In Bunyan's great allegory. in the
house of the Interpreter, a maj was
seen raking among the dust and rub
bish to find coins or gems, while above
his head a celestial hand was stretched
out with a crown set around with blaz-
ing Jewels. Thou art the mani" You
are seeking amid the pleasures and
treasures Of this world a satisfaction
that you will never find; and, while
you are looking down, you need only
look up and see Gods hand stretched
out, offering an eternal crown, every
gem Of which represents the riches Of
God. Will not you come to Christ
now? Do not think of your sin. II
is not too great for Him to saw you
and the greater your sin the more He
yeaIns to save you, because the great
O. Is your need.

TEN TRUTHS.
Easy tasks make idle men.

Easy tasks make idle men.
Folly is a close friend of pride.
Silver and gold-the sea and the sun.
The surest shot takes the quickest
aim.
To succeed be devoted, but not de-
pendent.
The smallest flowers have the sweet

Eternal dissatisfaction is the second
law of nature.
No laugh can be as roguish as the rip
pie of a stream.
The man who pleases himself most
suits others best

A FAILURE IN LIFE.
such Can Be Said of Those Who Fail
to Follow the High Ideals OF
Christ Life.

William e. Russell once said: Their
is an everlasting difference between
making a life and making a living.
Most men are so busy making a living
| that they do next to nothing about MAX
ing a life. Character is not so much
to them as cheese and chocolate. IL
| thew can secure for themselves or for
their families a little distinction by
means of wealth or power or place, they
are quite ready to sacrifice everything
else to these objects. And to cherish
a forgiving spirit, to become more like
Christ. to conform their conduct to
| the pattern shown them in the Son or
| Man. is not for them the passionate
| desire or cherished aim it ought to be.
1t requires but the omission of a single
| letter to make a brother a bother. Ii
| the names in the Lambs Book OF Life
were taken from the church register,
| and included all that are found there,
some of us perhaps would not be eager
to go to Heaven. Nevertheless we
must be long-suffering with our breth-
rem, and we must be ever ready to for
| give. We have to take our friends as
they are, and not as we might wish
| them to be. If they are offensive to
us. it is quite likely that we are equally
| offensive to them because of peculiar
tiles of temperament or talents. Dis
satisfaction with others may be caused
quite as much by too great satisfaction
with ourselves as by any inherent defect
or sin in those with whom we are dis
| satisfied. The first beatitude is pro-
nounced upon the poor in spirit; and
eonceit or pride or vanity, or any other
form of selfishness which leads one to
exalt oneself at the expense of others.
Is foreign to the reign of the meek and
lowly one. Rest of soul for others as
well as for oneself can only be gained
| by those whose shoes keep close to
the Lord Jesus. If Canon Farrar is
right in saying that there is only one
failure in life, and that is not to be true
to the best that one knows" then we are
| falling to reach the end for which God
made US if we do not strive to follow
Christie forgive others even as He
forgave Peter, James and John. and eve
Judas. nay, wen those who crucified
Him.-Rev. George S. Payson. d. D., In

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
Mineral Resources Of Mississippi

Discussing the mineral resources
of this State, a Washington special
to the New Orleans Picayune last
week has the following to say:
About a year ago the United States
Geological Survey began to cooper
ate with the State of Mississippi in
the investigation of its mineral re-
sources. An exhibit of those mineral
products of the State which have
economic value was prepared for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In
the course Of the work important
geologic and Hydrologic data were as
sembled, which the Survey will soon
publish in the form of a geologic and
a water supply paper.
Very little attention has ever been
paid to the State of Mississippi by
biologists. The work done last year
was the first official survey ender-
taken since 1860. In recent years
Mr.. l.. G.. Johnson has collected a
large number of well records. With
these as a beginning, Mr.. A. F. Cri-
der, of the survey, acting under the
direction Of Mr.. M. L. Fuller, chief
of the Eastern Section of NEUROLOGY,
has collected a large number of facts
relating to the artesian waters and
deep wells of the State.
Mr.. e. C. Eckel, geologist, has in
vestigated, with the assistance OF Mr..
Crider, the mineral resources of Mis-
sissippi, particularly those of the
Jackson quadrangle, The chief OF
these are clays, gravel, limestone,
cement material and sandstone.
Clays have long been recognized as
the chief mineral resources OF the
State, but they are mostly unde-
veloped. At present there is only one
large pottery in Mississippi. The
Vicksburg limestone has been tried at
Jackson for building material, but Is
entirely unsuitable for that purpose,
as it is interbedded with mari The
gravels of the State are important, as
they are the only material found
there which is sufficiently hard for
use as a road metal.
1t is unsuitable as building material,
the limestone is yet available as an
excellent Portland cement material.
1t is especially promising in the
northeastern part of the State, near
the Alabama line, and in the central
belt. The hope is entertained that
Mississippi may become eventually
the center of a ff~ourishing cement
industry. There is Ignite in the cen
trail part of the State which may be
found useful as fuel for pottery and
brick plants. DR.. r. B. Fulton. OF
the University of Mississippi, is now
making test of this Ignite. In cae
it is not suitable for these purposes,
the limestone is still conveniently
near 70 the Alabama coal fields. Rail
roads which radiate in all directions
make the district accessible to the
rest of the Southern and Mississippi
Valley States.

Exhibiting Samples of Alfalfa.

Maj. Simpson, a well known Gre
NADIA county farmer has been exhib-
iting samples of alfalfa grown on
his place three miles out from Gre
NADIA, that measures Is inches IN
length, and which is now ready for
the mower. 1t has ben claimed for
years that alfalfa will not grow and
flourish in Mississippi, but that has
been proven false by Prof. Hutch
inosn, as well as other men with
Maj. Simpsons foresight.
acre of alfalfa can be cut two or
three times per annum, and will
make more money tina nthe same
land planted to cotton year in and

Bush Ellis Kills Himself.

Bush Ellis, who lives a few miles

eide last week by shooting himself.
He had been in ill health for some
time, and a fe wdays before the sui

had been married only about two

amount already on hand it is
thought may answer all require
