 As to what are ca He'd theories of the atonement" l. must candidly confess that I have seen none that Is altogethe CT satisfactory. "The commercial theory" I regard as logically untenable, and from a scriptural point of view, as un- sound.

N Alabama soil, by Alabama river, was located the Confectionery s O greatest arsenal, foundries and ordnance depot, after Richmond. They were at Selma. The country around Sell ma had been uninfested by the enemy un- til Wilson, from Graveley Springs, Laud- erdale county, struck the last great blow to the sinking cause, and prepared the way for the defeat of Canby and the downfall of Mobile, before the guns of Farragut.
 This closing scene of the struggle in Alabama presents some aspects of pecu- liar interest to lovers of history, and re- calls to memory a number Of southern commanders whose names and deeds are dear to their countrymen. Among those of special interest to Alabamians and Tennesseans were Forrest. Josiah Patter- son, Dr. D. c. Kelley and Hon. J. +. NJ. Curry. And there, too was the gallant general, Frank Armstrong, a stately sen- tinel, though unhorsed, upon his breast works to the last. A beloved figure by his soldiers, whom Madame Valazquez, the woman soldier and secret service agent of the Confederacy, thus describes after meeting him in Mississippi: At this point I fell in with Gerenal Pe- grams cavalry, and had the great pleas ure of seeing the handsome General Frank Armstrong, an officer for whom I en- tertained an intense admiration.

In those dark days which his torians call the middle ages. when flu rious Franks and fiery Huns were sweeping civilization from the face of Europe, a little island called Hibernia was enjoying the peace and prosperity which its remoteness secured to it.
 Those were the halcyon days in that island. It was known as the land of saints and scholars. It was the Ireland of the Irish. Its temples were monuments of the highest architectural merit ever raised; in its schools were assembled the greatest living opponents of art, science

but one. The chief reason for this is
that two or more female heads of a
family create discord. and the husband

the people are richer. 1t Is somewhat
different; but even there the wealthy
Moor prefers to add slaves to his harem
to taking on an extra wife.
Marriages are made at an early age.
Girls wed at fifteen or sixteen and
young men at twenty or twenty-five.
There is no such thing as courtship, and
the matches are usually arranged by
the parents of the respective families.
There is always q marriage contract
and the groom is expected to pay q
dowry. In a marriage among wealthy
families there are always preliminary
feasts and presents. The groom sends
dates and other fruits TO his sweet
heart, and the prospective bride puts
herself into training In order that she
may look her best at the wedding. She
takes frequent steam baths. and for a
week gefore the marriage has one every
day. At the same time her cheeks
are painted with rouge, and her finger
nails, toe nails, and even her feet and
the lower parts of her arms and legs
are decorated with henna, n red color

throughout the orient.

GROWING DWARF TREES.
Requires Much Time and Patience,
Says Il Japanese Hortfculturist.

Exactly how these tiny trees are
produced is known only to a score or
so of individuals. But S. Eida. a ia
panese fellow of the Royal HOrticul-
tural Society, was good enough to
supply the writer with some interest
ing facts relating to the methods en-
ployed.
Magazine, hat the quality essential to
the successful dwarf tree grower is
patience, infinite patience, backed by
q fund of calm resignation unknown
to the Western mind. Fifty years
is named as the shortest period in
which a really good and salable dwarf
tree may be grown, while a lifetime
is not long enough to produce the
highest examples of the art. The tree
artist merely makes the beginning;
his son, or perhaps even his sons son,
reaps the reward of his labors.
Dwarf trees are produced from
seeds, or in cases where this is not
practicable, from carefully selected
cuttings. When the young plant be
gins to grow it is tended with cease
less care, and from the commence
ment of its career its natural tenden-
cies are ~subjugated to the will of its
master. Each twig, each leaf, as it
makes it's appearance, becomes the OBJ
ject of the closest scrutiny. Shall 1t
be permitted to grow, and 50, in what
direction? May it not be advisable
to cut it away altogether and o
age growth elsewhere? These n a
dozen similar questions occupy the
mind of the japanese artist, and upon
their correct solution depends the ul-
innate value of the tree; for to be
perfect the dwarf must possess a
shape and balance equal to the best
life-sized models.

ing made one of the most remarkable
Journeys performed by an animal on
record n accomplished the addi-
tional feat of singing out the family
with whom he formerly live from

How the dog found the residence Of
his young mistress will always remain
a mystery. When Miss Clark came
out of q retaurant yesterday the dog

Of her lodgings. At the sight of her
he dashed forward and before she
realized what was happening he had
both paws around her neck.
With a glad bark from the dog and
an a~ffectionate, hug from the girl, the
recognition was complete. To make
sure Of his identity, however, the
dog was put through some of the
faces he had learned as q pup. He
then aiken home, fed, and put
to sleep.
Miss Clark and her mother have
been living in her present quarters
only three weeks. Previously they
lived in several parts of the city. Their
change of residence must have made

RAILWAY

computed and published by a German
periodical for railway sclence, says
that they develop the remarkable fact
that mileage of railroads in the United
States alone exceeds that of any u
try in the world. n also that of en-
tire Europe. He summarizes:
The total length of the railways of
the world on January 1. 1906, is de-
clared tt have been 563.771.7 miles

905,695 kilometers, of which the
United States represents 215,715.39
miles (351,393 kilometers) and
Europe 192,247.52 miles (309,393 kilo-
meters), resulting in an American
lead of about 23.500 miles over
Europe. The total mileage on the
American continent is estimated to be
more than one half of that of the en-
tire world.
