interest of the Railroads In Building
 Up the Vegetable Industry.
 Railroad Record.
 Writing in the Business Magazine of Knoxville, on the growth of the South, Mir. E. M Mayo says that the great development of the iron and coal in- dustries in. Alabama, and of the market gardening in the Southern part of the State has been largely due to the low rates made by the railroads.
 It costs very little if any more to ship vegetable from Southern Missis- sippi and Alabama to Chicago and St. Louis than it costs from Tennessee. Some years ago complaint was made by a shipper against this prao- tice and the interstate commerce com mission decided that the roads ought to charge more from Southern Ala bama and Mississippi. The effect of a rule of this kind would have been to cut the growers in the low part of these States out of the northern mar
 kets.
 The roads wanted to develop fruit and vegetable growing in the gulf coast section even if they did not make any money hauling these products to the distant markets. They knew that | if they could help build up a large industry of this kind they would get more passengers on their trains and
 they would get other freight to haul. The point which Mir Mayo makes is that all governments which undertake
 to make rates have to do it on the basis of distance. One result is that the products of such a country are not freely exchanged with the country itself. For example, the farmers of western Germany cannot sell their wheat in eastern Germany because of l freight rates, consequently the west Germany farmers being near the coast have to export their surplus grain to tition with wheat from the United States, Russia and South America. The great development of the lumber business in the south during recent years has been made possible only by the facilities afforded by the railroads in getting the lumber to the seaports and giving access to inland markets | by means of rates which enable the products of the Southern forests to compete with those of the Northwest.
 In opening up timber lands by the ] construction of branch lines and as-
 ssting in the establishment of lumber l plants the railroads have been no less
 active in exploiting the resources of the South than in the case of iron and coal industries. It holds true of the | lumber business of the South in equal measure that 1t must look for its mar kets to distant points It is only un- \ der the competition of locality with N locality that this industry can hope
 to retain a system of transportation that will give to it markets not linn tied by considerations of distance

The Boy Jesus.
 One iacident--one only--of Jesuss youth Is preserved If analysed, it will be found to be the whole period in ep- itome--tl1e spirit, traits, requirements of Jesus before entrance upon His pub lie career.
 A temple nuncio on his round had appraised Nazareth os the approaching feast. The festa1 caravan, chanting the psalms of ascent. was soon en route. It may be that on this sacred journey Mary disclosed to the opening con- scionsness of her sen the things which she had kept and pondered in her heart"
 Not the prodigious mass of human- tty, not the golden and marble temple that could accommodate a quarter of a million, not even the speaking, cerefno- nia1 which had been performed for q millennium and llalf--not these, but the Messianic idea and the dawning consciousness, T am He," absorbed Jesus. and made Him oDfivious to time and place and human af1-relationships. The glowing ember burst into flame,
 The Child among the doctors is no anaehronism It is in strictest accord with Jewish custom. The sittings of the rabbis were open to all Sons of the law" Hebrew youths 12 years and over, were especially welcome, and en- couraged to show what they knew. The catecheticaf was the favorite method. "What meaneth?" was on lips of teach- CT and taught. What surprised the doctors in this Galilean boy was the absence of stereotyped rabbinical phrase. No touch of schools or school men was on Him. Here was original ity Divine--the truth free from the scholastic barnacles of gloss and par aphrase. yet a childish gentleness and humility transfusing all The Fath- CTS matters were undoubtedly subject of discourse; the Messiah, when, whence, what like. effect of His com ing? Many a doctor must have said that day, whence hath this Child this wisdom?" They were in ecstacy of ad- miration. The impression the Child made was no doubt 1ivelyi but the ap- pearanee of Galilean peasants who claimed to be His parents, and to whom He gave ready obedience, was calcu- lated to tone it down.
 The conversation between Mother and Child casts at least a ray on that mex phcable relationship. It is as if Mary

His answer, dutiful and af- fectionate, is: Mother, I'm surprised you sought me anywhere but in my Fathers house. where His matters are considered. I thought you knew the interest. unknown to others which would attract me and hold me here."
 But cheerfuily, in an instant. and for eighteen years, He quits this place of absorbing interest, this agreeable as- sembly; exchanges the temple for q carpenter shop, the sanhedrin for the 1, provincial neighbors of Nazareth--all at His iowly mothers beck. N But this incident was, humaniy speaking, of inca1culabIe value to Jesus. The ho1y consciousness, first quickened in the temple. opened and blooned in His soul. While still subject to HIS parents and having a perfectly normal human deveIopment of a character so lovely as to fairly captivate His rug ged highland neighbors, yet the knowl- edge of His divine nature and vocation ran parallel herewith.

Nazareth, with its white domes and abundant foliage has been described IS handful of pearls in a goblet of emerald. Her mon, Tabor, Carmel, the sea and Es- draelon were in sight The impression made on Jesus's mind is evident from its reproduction in His parabies. ss Social life was also unique. There was art and traffic. The teem- ing population was so infused with Greek spirit as to be called "Gentile.

The sacred name greeted his eye on the doorpost as he came or went. He must needs learn his Shema and HalIel. He had his own birthday text, an aerostlc from
 Scripture which spelled his name. The thoroughness of Jesus's training is evil dent from the familiarity with every part of the Old Testament, in both He- brew and Creek which He showed.

The Teneher.s I.antern.

This incident, at first blush picto- rial affair, brfstles with lessons for pa- rents and children, for teachers and pupils. It is the anatomy of a chiid's s heart for the child himself, and for the would-be helper of. the child. The Child Jesus was the ideal learner.
 He kept filling with wisdom. He stored His memory with Scripture, and in addition persisteptly drew from His environment, physician and social. The evidences of the accuracy and wide ness of His observations abound in His
