How His Place Was Filled,

A well known divine whose theolog-
ical discourses draw crowded houses
in all the principal cities accepted an
invitation to lecture in small provin-
cial town, but discovered afterward
that he had a prior engagement on the
same date. He accordingly apologized
and offered to make good any loss the
society might incur through his delin-
quency.
A few days later he received letter
from the secretary assuring him that
no harm was done and inclosing
handful which the divine is never
tired of reading to his amused friends
las the Rev. Mr. - is unable to
give his advertised lecture on Con
science" announced the BILL -four
members of the B minstrel troupe

tainment may have it transferred, to

When Explosives Explode.

A popular notion that explosives will
"go off" by any simple method is
wrong. Many of the most powerful
explosives imaginable may be kicked
about, may be set on fire or may be
shot out Of gun, and unless the prop
er agency for exploding them is en-
ployed they will not Ego off, and will
do no damage. The reason for this
may be explained by an illustration.
Consider a grateful of coal There Is
there enough Of what we may call ex-
plosive energy to throw 1000 pound
weight through foot of solid steel
if only it could be liberated. But there
can be no explosion without oxygen,
and the coal in the crate will not burn
faster than the supply of oxygen in the
air which reaches it will permit If
the coal could be furnished all at once
with enough air to cause it's complete
burning, it would explode with as great
violence as if it were so much dyna-
mite.-St. Nicholas.

The Sun of the Blind.

/ have not touched the outline Of a
star nor the glory of the moon, but l
believe that God has set two lights in
my mind, the greater to rule by day
and the lesser by night, and by them
I know that am able to navigate my
life bark, as certain of reaching the
haven as he who steers by the North
star. Perhaps my sun shines not as
yours. The colors that glorify my
world, the blue of the sky, the green
Of the fields, may not correspond exact
ly with those you delight in. but they
are none the less color to me. The
sun does not shine for my physical
eyes, nor does the lightning fash, nor
do the trees turn green in the spring.
But they have not therefore ceased to
exist any more than the landscape is
annihilated when you turn your back
on it.-Helen Keller in Century

His Good Eye.

Ii is q curious fact that the loss OF
any one of the five senses is atoned for
to considerable extent by pro-
nounced increase in the efficiency of
the other senses. The result is some
times astonishing.
A man who had lost the sight Of
both eyes trained his hearing until he
could tell by the sound of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as he made his way
about town whether he was in the
middle of the walk or at one side,
whether he was walking past brick
or a frame house or fence or open
ground
He knew in what part of the town
he was not only by his memory or
sense of general direction, but by the
difference in the tones of his foot
steps, and he walked about freely, sell
dom running into anything or any
body
Some one in his presence once called
in question his total blindness.
(which eye do you think can see
with?' he asked the skeptic.
"The left one, of course" was the
reply. II can see that the right one is
blind''
In reply the blind man merely
opened his penknife and tapped the
left eye with the little blade.
1t was glass eye.

Socialists at Chicago.

Chicago, May 12.-The Socialist ma

cussing relations with union labor and
finally appointed committee on the

and led their fight. The convention then
elected the convention committees,
and adjourned for the day. There are
217 delegates and A. NJ. Simons, of H.

STATE LAND DEPARTMENT.
Wonderful Growth of Business in
the Past Three Years.

The Journal is this week issuing the
annual report Of the State Land Board,
which shows some extremely interest
ing facts. The past three years have
shown total of more business in this
department Of the state government
than all the previous Il years since the
department was organized when Idaho
became a state. Part Of this great in
crease is Of course due to the rapid de-
velopment of the state; but the adop-
ton of comprehensive system that
makes every resource available has had
almest as much to do with the crafty
ing showing. This reorganization has
been effected within the past three
years. The state has selected praeti-
callv all its special grant lands, which
had been sadly neglected, and the earn
ing capacity of the state holdings Won
derfully developed.
The Journal believes that the whole
report is so wen worth reading, that a
considerable part of the report will be
published in these columns next week.
