among other things, that IL Christ
had been a really divine messenger:
he would not have given this worlo
an ideal too high to be reached, ou.
would have given It more pracueai
system of morals. Mr.. Bryan wrote
a little book in reply, entitled, Let
tiers to Chinese Official" and to
this argument about the impractlcapie
ideals presented by Christ he maze
the following splendid and,overwhelm'
ing reply which deserves to live Tor
ever:
Let me admit. without quaii1ca'
ton. that the Christian Ideal is not
lived up to anywhere in the world;
let me admit that the best OF CHRIST
ians everywhere fall below the con-
ception of life presented by the LIE
and teachings of the Man OF Galilee,
and still I contend that the one VINO
follows Christ afar off, even with
limping step and many a fall, may
live a nobler life than the perfect
disciple of Confucius. No ideal Is
high that is fully realized. The man
who claims for his ideal that instead
Of being above him, it is perfectly
embodied in his life, confesses that
he has no aspirations for improve
ment. 1t is the glory of the Christ
ian ideal that while It is within sight
OF the weakest and the lowltest, 1t
Is still high enough to keep the best
and the purest with their faces turned
ever upward. Live Oak Democrat.

COMPUTING INTEREST.
The SIX Per Cent Rule and the Prin-
c1ple on Which 1t Il Based.

The Six Per Cent Rule and the Prin-
c1ple on Which 1t Il Based.
Every schooboy and schoolgirl knows
that much used rule for computing in
terest at 6 per cent-multiply by the
number Of days and divide the product
by 6-but many Of them could not, par
haps, explain the principle on which the
rule is based. Here Il is In a few
words: In reckoning interest $50 days
make year. Now, to find the interest
on any amount for one year-360 days
at per cent we multiply the amount
by 8 and divide by 100. Having
found the interest for $50 days. we can
get it for one day by dividing that In
terest by $50. But multiplying by and
dividing by 100 and then dividing by
$50 is the same as multiplying By Q
and dividing by $4,000. Then, again,
multiplying by 8 and dividing by
$4,000 Is the same as dividing at once
by 5000. 1t follows that we may find
the interest on any amount for one day
by dividing by 5000, and we have only
to multiply the interest for one day by
the given number Of days to get the in
terest for the desired time. In practice
1t is customary to multiply first by the
number of days and then to divide by
6 1000, or, what IL the same thing, to d.
vide by G, cutting or three figures for
the three ciphers.

Elixir OF Youth.

In former times elder flowers were
treasured not only by lovers Of hedge
row beauty but by those who desired
to preserve their own beauty and
youth. According to the seventeenth
century prescription the elder flowers
were to be gathered on midsummer
day, powdered and put into borage
water, which was to be drunk daily for
a month, the first thing In the morning
and the last thing at night. This was a
much priced elixir Of youth. By COM
mon consent there has always been
something supernatural about the elder
tree. In Denmark 1t is protected by
the elder mother. without whose leave
it is dangerous to pluck the flower. In
Germany the hat should be taken of
to 1t. And In England 1t has been
variously considered the tree Of the
cross and the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself, to be treated with
reverence or fear Observation-Disclosures

A THRILLING MINUTE.
It Made Up In Intensity Of Terre9
What Il Lacked In Time

It Made Up In Intensity Of TerroQ
What u Lacked In Time.
The adventure Of a contributor to
Science lasted but minute, but It
made up in intensity Of terror what It
lacked In duration Of time. The writer
tells his own story:
Some years ago while / was making
researches In an excavation near
Frankfort, O., the center wall Of the
mound was undermined by the work
men, and 1 was struck by a mass Of
falling earth. 1 had just stopped to
examine small bone which had been
uncovered when earth to the amount
Of several cart loads dropped on me.
No one else was In the excavation, the
men having gone to the top Of the
mound.
The falling mass knocked me back
ward, and I fell with my head and
shoulders on small heap Of earth. The
falling wall Of earth looked black to me,
and I well remember the rush Of wind
1t brought.
At first felt little pain, only intense
pressure, which forced the buttons of
my costume partly inside my flesh.
My watch was pressed tight against
two ribs which were broken. The skin
on my forehead seemed cut, but It was
the pressure Of my hat forcing the flesh
between the straw. The knife in my
pocket seemed burning hot. Just under
the small OF my back was large clod
which gave me uncomfortable pain, as IL
my spine were slowly breaking. Then
1t stopped, and felt nothing.
Thoughts raced through my head like
lightning. thoughts Of the past, present
and future. remember trying In vain
to move a hand or finger. I was per-
fectly motionless. My chest could not
be inflated, and the downward pressure
had forced the air out Of my lungs. I
could move my chin and open and shut
my mouth. l tried to keep my mouth
closed to prevent Its being filed, but it
.nstinetively opened, and the earth fell
In Then the assurance of strangling
came to me, but did not much care.
1t was just sixty seconds. the sur
yeyor said, before the men reached me
and felt the earth move slightly A
shovel struck my scalp and cut me. It
felt like redhot iron. When my head
was uncovered the pressure on my
body was so great the blood was forced
to my head until my rescuers feared
my veins would burst.
1 observed everything, but could not
move. The partial paralysis lasted
several days. have never wholly re-
covered from the effects of my adven-
ture. I cannot enter a cave or stand
near a bank Of earth without terrible
sensations.

PAN|sH DOCK
IS FINALLY
FLOATED
Big Structure, Blown Ashore
By Hurricane, Is Now
Safely Moored.

The big Spanish floating dock,
which was blown aground during the
hurricane, was 1oated yesterday af-
ternoon. and is now safely moored
off the navy yard.
Inc tugs Hercules, Uncas and
Oscecla have been engaged for sew
eral weeks in an attempt to float the
dock, and many began to believe that
the dock could not be foated by this
means, but yesterday afternoon at
high tide the efforts of the tugs were
successful, and the big structure
moved from the position which 1t
has occupied for more than month.
The damage to the dock Is small,
and it will not require great amount
of work, 1t is stated, before 1t is in
condition to be used. A dock Is now
badly needed at the yard as all of
the vessels which were damaged by
the storm will have to go into dock
before they can be repaired, and the
small dock, formerly in use there,
was completely demolished

ORES. and Mental Discomfort.

While much has been said, from
material standpoint, about the effect Of
dress upon the health, the spiritual
side has been largely ignored. The
mental discomfort Of an unbecoming
or badly fitting garment is probably
greater than the bodily uneasiness oc-
casioned by overnight bands or foot
wear, and the former, perhaps, causes
more actual physical harm. It Is not
the least of the hardships Of poverty
that garment that offends the taste
cannot be discarded, but has to be
worn, with all Its depressing effects
upon the mind. until something at least
Of its money value has been extracted
from it Alterations may mend mat
tiers, but that means additional ex-
pense, and the chances are that the last
state Of the garment will be worse than
the first

Vote For This
Amendment.

Among the constitutional amend
ments to be voted on next Tuesday
is one which directly affects Escam
bia county in that 1t provides for the
establishment Of a court OF record In
this country which shall have concur.
rant jurisdiction with the circuit
court in all matters except to-sum.
mon and empanel a grand jury.
The amendment is entitled Article
XXI" and, in The Journals iudg.
ment, 1t should be adopted. The
amendment provides that the court OF
record shall be established whenever
the voters of said county shall So de,
termine by majority of the votes
cast on the question at any general
election" 50 that In the event of dts
passage the voters Of Escambis
county will still have to decide for
themselves whether or not they want
the court and 1t will be two years be.
fore vote on the question can be
taken.
The immediate effect Of the amend.
msnt's passage will therefore amount
to just this: 1t applies solely to the
courts of Escambia county and 1t en-.
ables the people OF this cosnty to
make the change whenever they de.
sire to do so. The question OF
whether or not such a court is needed
will be matter for discussion two
years hence, and whether it win or
will not be good thing does not nee.
essarily enter into the subject at this
time.
The Journal believes that such a
court would not only be a good thing
but that it Is really a necessity for
this county. That question, however
can be discussed at another time.
The thing to do now is to adopt the
amendment and we trust every voter
will vote Yes" on it in next Tues,
days election.
