The prosecutor agrees that she

is any law against the marriage OF
one woman to another woman. The

A Great Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,

Elsewhere we print the ADVERTISE

readers to the same. The Royster fer
tilizer people are the largest OF the

ing. These people have had most
wonderful success in their sales.
"Farmers' Bone' is their leading
brand Of cotton fertilizer, and we are
told that its sale exceeds that OF any
other single brand of fertilizer sold IN
the south. Owing to the fact that
thew use fish for ammoniates. their
goods are popular everywhere they
are sold. They claim theirs to be the
original fish guano. They have large
works at Norfolk, Va, Tarboro, n. g.,
two factories in South Carolina, and
one at Macon, Ga. and their goods
are on sale in nearly every town IN the
south where fertilizers are used. Our
readers will find it to their interest
to consider Royster fertilizer before
making their purchases.

p2lSMATIC REFLECTOR.

A New York inventor has taken the
idea of the daylight prism" as a basis
and adapted it to an ordinary gas lamp
shade, producing a reflector and a
shade composed entirely of glass, and
having a part which acts entirely as
reflector and an opposite part which
acts as shade for directing and soft
ening the light. About one-half of the
surface of the shade is covered with
rejecting prisms, constructed to di-
rect back into the shade a large por-
ton of the light rays which emanate
within the reflector.
The other side of the reflector is sub
stantially shade. 1t has on the outer
surface series of prisms which direct
the light in any desirable direction and
at the same time soften the light rays.
On this side the interior surface of the
shade is covered with dlffusing ribs,
which soften the rays of light before

WHAT MAKES SAP ASCEND IN

The mechanism Of the ascent of wa

vexed problems Of botany. Nonc of

explanations satisfy everybody, and
many botanists are content to confess

may be represented by column of wa

condition is that there shall be no i'm
mediate continuity of mass between
the luid to which the atmospheric

in the tree by the numerous transverse
septa on its water-ducts, which pre-

its base. If the duct narrowed down
above the septum, the supported col

hundreds of feet. OF the existence of
air in the duct he says:
"Dr. MacDougal states that the cav

Strasburger describes the water as

cause a movement upward of the water

The fact that we teong to One who

More than that; he Identifies i'm self

he is the head; we are one with him
and with the Father.
Then we have come into uew life
We are risen with Christ" There Is
Joy unspeakable in that. But there

Christ, seek those things which are

This makes 1t possible for us to set

care for these higher poss; ssions un-

when that comes, as 1t does in the mo-
ment of our complete acceptance of
Jesus Christ. 1t Is most natural that
we should seek to live in the presence
of Christ We cannot live his f.

The Old Testament prophets be-
lleved in Immortality. The living
Christ and the regenerated Christian
confirm that ancient faith.
The Bib'e and our human instincts
make us think of death as an enemy.
But death was beaten in the struggle
for the life of Jesus Christ. Death will
be beaten in the struggle for our life
If we accept Christ's gift of life

Deaths sting is gone. Since there
Is now-no condemnation, death cannot
harm the Christian. 1t becomes his

There IS enough meaning to the
Christian in the resurrected life OF JUS

pain of unpardoned sin-is gone. The
great battle of life-the struggle
against the power of death-is won.
There Is nothing like great laith In
a great fact TO hold people steady. The
power of the resurrected life was the
secret of the early church's fearless
testimony. 1t invgorates and tones
all the churchs real lfe to day.
