MiSSiSsippi's Main Outlet.

1t Is announced that the titanic
public works in progress of construc-
tion by the United States Govern
ment at the Southwest Pass of the
Mississippi River are in a most ia
vorable state Of progress. This is
the main mouth or outlet of the great
river. and is being treated with jet
ties in the same way as was the
South Pass some thirty years ago.
1t was then proposed to open South
west Pass, but the Government would
not consent to it, and required that
the experiment be tried on South
Pass, the least important of three.
The plan of operations was to narrow
the pass by jetty walls and thus force
the current to carry out the mud
and dig out the channel by its in
creased velocity and force. Complete
success crowned the work, which was
undertaken and carried out under
heavy forfeits by the great engineer.
James B. Eads. The success with
South Pass, where channel of thirty
feet was secured, has encouraged the
operations at Southwest Pass, where
from thirty-five to forty feet of wa
ter is expected. 1t is reported that
all the submarine work has been
completed end the superstructure
only remains to be done. This will
make New Orleans equal in depth of
water to any of the worlds creates
ports.-New Orleans Picayune.

verse we are bound to conclude that
for the preservation of His own In
tegrity and for our own best devel-
opment it is obligatory that we serve
the Lord our God and Him only.
Then, too, 1t Is necessary THAI men
shall give God the prime position IN
their lives. In order to the glory OF
the Father-which is the chief end OF
man-and in order to the cultivation
of all that is noblest within them,
men must ally themselves with those
spiritual and godly elements and
ideals in life that make for the high
est and the best. No man Is so well
rounded a man as he who measures
his life-work by spiritual and eternal
standards. The opportunist has no
chance in Gods Kingdom. The ca
reer that is most blessing to the In
dividual and to mankind is the one
that is grounded in godliness and
whose works of Righteousness are
the result of the inward work.
ings of holy love. The effort OF
the rightly balanced man is to be
most of use and to have the world
mark and remember him as worth
while. The man who Is most OF &C
count and whose memory Will be
longest cherished Is that man whose
life is squared to the measure OF god
illness revealed in Jesus Christ. Good
ness is necessary to lasting success.
The man who is the best man and
whose achievement Is permanent Is
the man who serves God in the unity
of love.
In the last place, the fruits of such
service are satisfactory. A man may
till the soil and reap many harvests
till his barns be full, but II he have
no communion with God he will go
hungry in the after life. What to
you Is your money when God calls
you to the heavenly places? The
amount of Christian character you
possess, not the coins that crowd your
purse, will be the measure of your
value then and there. What are your
clothes when deaths shroud encloses
you? What are you--you who have
worshiped at the altar Of your own
wisdom-when God puts you in the
balance? All these things are adj
mittedly unsubstantial. But the
wealth of God endures. The Chris
tan who is clothed upon by Jesus
christ snail ever Ne pTepdleu W oloho
within the presence of Almighty God.
The wisdom of God is sufficient unto
the saving of the soul and lasts for
ever. If we would but reverse things
and make all the material elements
and all our intellectual abilities sub
servient and subsidiary and subordi-
nate to the prime work of the spir-
itual service Of Jehovah life would be
more satisfactory. He who serves
God gets money enough and eternal
life. The striver for eminence in
goodness and uprightness will be
we'll in the front Of Heavens society
and will not want for recognition
among people whose approval Is
worth anything-here. The deepest
knowledge and the hardest task the
mind of man can attack is to be found
in the appropriation of the eternal
wisdom of our God. The fruits OF
God deserving are peace, joy. content
ment, purity, eternal life. The prizes
of the world are fleeing. The serv-
ing of God Is satisfactory. TO him
who Is faithful the reward Is sure.

The Smallest or All Fish.

The most diminutive vertebrate
creature in the world is said to be
a small fish caught in a mountain
lake in the Luzon region of the
Philippines.
The largest Of the species is less
than an inch long, but its smallneSs
may be best gagged by the fact that
1t takes about 5000 of them to make
a pound. Although so tiny however,
the fish. which Is named sinarapen,
is an important article OF diet among
the Philippine natives. obviously
1t Is too small for any net and is
caught in course muslin sheets.
The fish are prepared by being
mixed with pepper and other spices
and then dried in the sun. They are
a great native delicacy.

"Hc Vas, But He Amt"

general manager of the Central Cali,

when a nervous and excited Ger

l suspected that he wanted to catch
a train. At any rate, he was SO
nervous that he couldn't keep his
seat. He began pacing up and down
the floor, waiting his turn, and as
this did not seem to calm his nerves
he stepped outside and began pacing
up and down the sidewalk. He
came back in moment and discov-
cred, much to his horror, that some
one had got in ahead of him and
had taken the first vacant chair.
The nervous man stalked up to the
head barber blusteringly and said:
"If a man comes In und goes

"The head barber looked at him
searchingly and replied with dig

Tcmpraturr or Mars.

Hitherto the chief obstacle to the
belief that Mars is habitable by any
such beings as inhabit the earth mas
been the extremely low temperature
probably obtaining on the Marian
surface, but Professor Lowell shows
that by taking all the phenomena
into consideration this obstacle may
be removed. Previous calculations
of the temperature have been de-
duced solely from the relative dis
lance of Mars from the sun, and a
recent investigation gave 33 degrees
Fahrenheit as mean temperature of
the planet. He finally deduces, by
taking all known factors into ao-
count, that mean temperature OF
Al degrees Fahrenheit is obtained.

"At the Last"

1t is right to seek the goodwill
of all men, and to desire that they
speak we'll of us, but when we lie
down to die 1t will be an empty pill
low If this is all that we can rest
on. When we are through with life
and all its applause, and are await
ing the final call, we want some
thing more substantial than a Chau-
tauQua salute. When the faces we
love grow dim to our vision, and
we are lying in the twilight of two
worlds, there are voices we would
much rather hear than the plaudits
and the acclaim of our countrymen.
and one of them is, well done, good
and faithful servant; enter thou in
to the JOY Of thy Lord"

STRIKE MAY SPREAD.
Switchmen and Yardmen of Colorado
 & Southern Seek Increase.

Denver Colo.--The strike of the switehmen and yardmen on the Colorado & Southern railroad contin- ues and each day the situation be comes more complicated.
 Grievance committees for yardmen on the Denver & Rio Grande and oth- CT roads are in the city, and, it is said they will present demands for an in crease of cents per hour.
 There has been some talk of Chair man Martin A. Knapp of the interstate commerce commission and Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, coming to the city to offer their services in an effort to bring about settlement, but nothing definite in regard to this can be learned.
 It is freely predicted that the strike will spread to other roads in a short time unless a settlement is effected soon.
 Many large mines have shut down as result of the strike and others are preparing to do likewise if the strike continues.
