JEWISH MISSIONS.
Work Throughout the World Shows
Surprising Advancement.

The Jews have built an attractive
structure as a new temporary shelter
for immigrants arriving in London.
Rev. Louis Meyer writes that the year
1905 was a year of wonderful pros
perity in Jewish missions. "Such a
large number of baptisms in various
parts Of the world have come to our
knowledge that we hesitate to publish
the figures before verification. Seem
ingly more than twice Is many Jews
confessed Christ by baptism as in any
year preceding. A surprisingly large
number of families, parents and chill
dren, have been baptized"
A seventh International Jewish mis-
sion conference was held or April "a
and 25, at Amsterdam, Holland. It's
object was announced to be to meet
attacks upon the practical work Of
missions to the Jews and defend the
work, and to strengthen its schools.
New openings for Jewish missions are
found in Russia, and there Is an enor-
nous increase in emigration of the
Jews into western Europe and Amer
lea. The conference was well attend

How can sentiment live and flourish
In a time when gold ald greed are the
idols of mems hearts?
For the f1ourishing of sentiment
leisure is needed. Not only is the
present generation ambitious for ma
terial prosperity, but it is in a hurry
to get on. People nc longer live con-
tentedly year after year, in the same
place; they do not strike their roots
deeply anywhere; they are always on
the road. California or the Bahamas,
Europe or the far east, allure peo-
pie from their f:resides, and globe
t~rotters are so common that their

haste and a thousand crowding N
gagements. Without leisure we can
not have serenity, and without sereni-
ty we do not have sentiment. Con-
seuuently, the men and women who
came to maturity when standards
were high and there was time enough
for all one had to do, are the sur
vivors of a beautiful by-gone time,
and in them sentiment still lives ana
comes continually to bloom and fruit
1t is needful only to read in the
same month Edith Wharton's terrible
arraignment Of a portion OF modern
society il 1.-THE House of Mirth," and
Mr.. Wister's exquisite and wonderful
ly artistic story of Kings Port, to
see what has been wrought for us IN
the way of mischief by the decay OF
sentiment. Look on this picture and
then on that. Having done so, take
a lantern and search for the dears
souls in whom sentiment still abides,
and sit down beside them and let
them give you lessons in sympathy,
in chivalry, in womanly reticence, In
manly devotion and in all that makes
life really worth living. Not until
you do this and until you absorb the
sweetness, of their spirit can you hope
to understand what the poets mean
when they sing of love. In the :,
quisite entertainments of fairy-lore and
Of the old mythologies you find love
and life forever hand in hand.
There is a practical style of think
ing and of acting that deals a death
blow to sentiment, but fortunately
with most of us, there is yet the
capability of being awakened to ro-
nance and charmed with it's potency,
if only we will let go our clutch at
the things that perish and reach out
a hand for the things that are eter-
nal. Love of home, love OF little
children, joy, hope, mirth, belief in
good men and good women, are the
altar of rose we call sentiment. Shall
we let the old people have the monop-
oily of these?

A STORY OF THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY
or THE HEBREW PEOPLE
By the Highway and Byway" Preacher
sERMoNETTE.

Nadab and Abihu, the sons Of
Aaron, had been consecrated to
the service of God In the Tab
ernacIe, and for this reason
their sin was all the more gIar-
ING and called for summary
punishment, for this first in
stance of contempt for sacred
things demanded swift judy
ment, Just as at the commence
ment Of the Christian dispersal
ton the sin of Ananias and
Sapphire called for speedy pun
ishment. (Acts 5:1-1D.
This sin Of Nadab and Abihu
indicates an utter lack on their
part of appreciation of their
place in Gods service, of the
holiness of God, of the neces-
sity of obedience, Of the fact
that there was but one way Of
approach unto God.
VIZ cannot too often remind
ourselves of the three facts
which this incident brings out:
First, the holiness Of God and
the sacredness of the approach
unto him.
Second, the proneness Of the
human heart to fail to under
stand and appreciate the rev.

; sity Of obedience to the Divine

Third, the recognition of the

OLD JESTER TIME DELIGHTS IN
PLAYING STRANGE TRICKS.
AGING Folk Seem to Be the Only Sen.
timentalists Left-Present Gener-
alton Seeks Money and Ma
teriaI Comforts.
BY MARGARET, E. sANGsTER.

BY MARGARET. E. SANGSTER.
Notwithstanding the general skepti-
cism of young people ON the subject,
the fact is that almost the only senti-
mentalists we have left are the old.
Time is a jester and he likes to play
strange tricks by sleight of hand. He
has stolen the slender grace of yonder
substantial matron and given her a
goodly store of av%oirdupois. He has
robbed her of the roundness and
smoothness Of girlhood and left
creases and crows feet to mark the
years, but of one thing he has not
been able to defraud her. Deep in
her heart there is a spring of ro-
nance that bubbles up with the same
silver sound and sweet freshness that
it did when she was a bride, and al
though she may be a grandmother, she
is more sentimental now than the
pretty bride of the second generation.
Many an old fellow whose name is
known in the stock market and at
whose beck the world of finance
changes place as children do In the
game of stage coach, has an unsus-
pected fountain Of sentiment hidden
in his soul. He is shrewd, hard-head-
ed and sagacious, but the soft bit OF
sentiment is in him still, and it re-
spends to the touch Of music and
poetry, to the watt of a perfume, or
the sight of daisies in June. Such a
man will carry folded away in his
vest pocket a bit of fugitive verse or
a faded photograph, the kind that was
formerly called a carte de visite. The
picture is old-fashioned, but it brings
back to him the memory of a girl who
died long ago, in the peace summer
that followed our civil war
The old people watch with a certain
sympathetic interest the love affairs
of their juniors, and often resent and
regret the obvious lack of sentiment
shown by these. A young woman mar

fable proceeding, eminently wise on
the part of the young woman. why
should she ask for anything more than
a solid foundation of respect and
esteem on which to begin her mar

period are very apt to take this mat
ter of fact view. Not so the elderly
ladies who we're wooed and won with
chivalrous .ardor in the long ago, who
know what real courtship means, who
regard love as hallowed and marriage
as a sanctuary, and who shudder at
the thought of a profane foot cross
ing that sacred Threshold. They have
had to part with many illusions on the
road. but the one illusion that has
remained to them a pure reality is

Mississippi Wool Crop.

The wool crop of Mississippi has
practically been disposed of. The mar
ket closed unusually late this year be-
cause of the depression in values which
induced the growers to withhold their
offerings. Where a year ago wool was
bringing 81 and 80 cents per pound, it
is this year ranging under % cents.
The crop this year has been up to the
average Of recent years, though it does
not compare with the immense crops OF
a few years ago before the railroads and
the settlers came to occupy the country
through which the sheep used to range
at will. The total clip this year will
run between 100000 and 300, 900 pounds,
which at prevailing prices will run to
over a million dollars in value. In
former years the value of the crop was
close to SO, 900, 600.

Summer Morning Suits.

Old-fashioned ginghams and cham
bries wash and wear to perfection.
The w goods ask for a fair hear
ing and get it, too. For practical
summer morning suits the first choice
seems to be tinted voiles, firm enough
to be cut and treated like cloth and
made up in rather severe tailored
fashion. The fashionable striped eff
fects appear in voiles and are most
effective made up with bands and re-
vers of a plain color. A practical cos
tune which could be copied in any
cotton or linen stuff is a white en-
broidered in dark green dots. The
plated skirt is trimmed at the bot
tom with three bands of plain green
linen, and the plain linen makes a
sleeveless bolero. The three-quarter
length sleeves finish with turned I'M
cuffs of the green linen.

THE STORY.

IT WAS the hour of the evening sacri-
flee, and Aaron and his sons were
busy making the offering of the lamb.
With all the ~earnestness and devo-
ton of his heart, Aaron, the high
priest, was observing each detail of
the service in accordance with the in
structions he had received from
Moses. The lamb had been selected
with due care, and it had been slain
and prepared for the altar, and Aaron
was about to place it thereon, when
ne noted that the wood had not been
laid in the proper order, and he
paused to rearrange it, at the same
time pointing out the mistake to his
Cwo sons, Nadab and Abihu, who had
prepared the wood and had placed it
upon the altar.
An impatient grunt was the only re-
Spouse offered to the fathers kindly
admonition, and he looked up quickly
INTO the faces of his two sons in time
to catch the flash of angry resentment
which rested there. .
my sons he said, earnestly, "is
1t not important that we perform the
service exactly Moses has instruct
ed us?"
What matter it if the wood be
here to consume the sacrifice?" re-
piled Abihu, apparently unmollified by
his fathers couciliatory manner
SIS any detail too small to receive
faithful service from us?' Aaron de-
manded.
The only response offered was an
echo of the first impatient grunt which
had started and panied Aaron before.
He said no more, but went on with
the service while his two sons busted
themselves with their duties.
For some time Aaron had been trou-
bled by the attitude of these two
boys, his eldest sons, and more than
once he had been panied by their
careless indifference and seeming lack
of appreciation of the solemn RESPONSE
bilities resting upon them.
At the service of dedication, when
Moses had ~consecrated them for the
priesthood, they had first manifested
such a spirit, the solemn occasion
seemingly ~impressing them only from
it's external and superficial aspect.
They were pleased with their new and
stately robes, they were proud of the
distinction of Office, and they found a
certain satisfaction in the perform
ance of the duties devolving upon
them. But without in any sense catch
ing the spirit of the service exacted
of them, and with. exalted opinion as
to their Importance in the priestly
rank, they felt a sort of disdain for
the small details and exactions of
their duties.
Then, too, without realizing it them
selves, they had become enamored of
the wine cup, and in their priestly
function they had found the opportu-
nifty of gratifying their appetite, SO
that more and more they had yielded
to the enticements OF the sparkling
beverage.
Aaron, their father, had on one or
two occasions observed the sparkle in

Cannot Explain the Cause.

Aaron Stanton, n of the largest
cotton planters of Adams county, re-
ports that his cotton crop has deterior-
ated fully 80 per cent within the past
three weeks, and he is unable to &C.
count for the cause of it. He says his
bottom crop yield is excellent, but the
bolls along the middle of the stalk are
all shriveled and dried, and the pros.
poets are that the middle crop will be a
complete failure.

Bloody Battle.

A bloody battle occurred in Webster
county, e a the Montgomery county
line. A quarrel arose between Sam
Hightower and Walter Cooper. After
some hot words had passed the trouble
was patched up and the two men made
friends. A few days later Hightower
passed Cooper's house, carrying a shot
gun. The trouble was renewed, where
upon Cooper drew his pistol and shot
Hightower twice. Hightower fired n
load from his gun into Cooper's body,
but Cooper did not fall. Hightower
fell to the ground, and Cooper, who had
a pistol and a shotgun, walked up and
emptied his shotgun into Hightower's
body. Jim Hightower, a son of Sam
Hightower, heard the shooting and ran
to the scene, and was shot and killed by
Cooper. Cooper was mortally wounded.
Both families are prominent.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
Deficit seems Inevitable.

How to keep the penitentiary ex-
penses within the annual appropriation
of 5000, 900 during the remainder OF the
current year is the most serious problem
that the board of control has encoun'
tered in many years. The legislature
made the annual prison appropriation
on a basis of 1850 convicts, and before
the end of the year the actual prison
population will be 300 convicts in ex-
cess of hat nuAber. These 300 pris-
oners, of course, must be provided for
out of the 500, 900 appropriation, which
is lone too large for the legislative
base of 1850 convicts. The State has
raised magnificent corr and cotton
crops on the convict plantations this
year, and the net prison profits will
probably be larger than ever before,
but it will be impossible for the board
to use ANY part of the funds derived
from the sale of crops for the support OF
the institution.
