Too Much Imagination.

A recent story reminds a CORE
spondent of the Second Vermont Vol
unteers of the following: Our officers
had given us strict orders against for
aging. Colonel Randall and Captain
Whiting, of Company H, were espe-
cially severe. In spite of orders the
boys used to pick up young pigs, album
dant in that vicinity, and work them
I'D into "possum stews." The captain
CHANGED to discover that the boys
game of which their stews were made
was contraband, and he at once con-
fiscated a fine stew and had the own
ers arrested.
Now the captain was great lover
of noker. and he and his set RECALLED
themselves with poker and the SOL
diers' stew The boys resolved to get
even. In the natural order this event
happened twice. The second time it
was essentially varied, as follows:
Four puppies had been procured.
Three of them were killed, their bod
les buried and heads left outside, just
back of the tent After the officers
set had got the well-seasoned stew dis
posed Of, the little puppy remaining
alive was left at the officers tent and
began to whine. They investigated
the whining at once, and found the
little fellow with a card to his neck,
upon which was inscribed: You
have eaten by three brothers; now eat
me. (Signed) JEFF DAVIS"
In the expressive language of the
colored gentleman, there was commo-
ton in that camp, Investigation fol-
lowed, the puppies heads were discov-
-and-we draw veil over the
scene that followed.
A puppy's whine, bark, or even a
howl was altogether too suggestive
| for a long time after. The boys stews
were not confiscated any more.
The disagreeable results of the af-
| fair were entirely the effects of the
! Imagination, as the stew which the
officers confiscated was entirely COM
posed of good chickens and pigs.

Pickle for Curing Meats.

Fourteen pounds salt, four ounces
saltpeter, two ounces saleratus, five
pounds brown sugar, tablespoonful of
red pepper, twelve gallons of water,
to be mixed in a cold state. The
above quantity is sufficient for 400
pounds If the pickle gets moldy, boil
and cool and use again. For picking
beef, four gallons of water, one and a
half pounds of brown sugar, six
pounds salt, two and half ounces of
saltpeter to hundred pounds of beef.

this world put the intellect Of the crea-

that he shall see the reasonableness
of accepting all the high mysteries Of
grace, simply by the testimony upon
which they rest? This law of faith
extends no less to the conscience, in

is not permitted to guide himself by
his natural conscience except as that
conscience is enlightened by Gods in

This law of faith extends to af-

Himself is wrapped in clouds. This
law extends to the will, since we
must defer to the naked authority Of
Gods commands. Now, if God ex-

faith, and the law of the whole econ

Good work in detecting adulterated
seeds is being carried on by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Of 1,471
samples of seeds taken last year 102
samples were found adulterated or
misbranded The department publishes
the results of the test, together with
the names of the firms that sold the
seed. It is claimed that since this
work began the trade in adulterated
seeds has fallen off greatly.

MAN AS THE IMAGE OF GOD.
By Rev. Junius B. Remens

By Rev. Jun1uS b. hemenSnyoef.
And God said, let us make man in
our image after our likeness.-Gene-
sis /, 26.
There are two theories of the origin
of man. One would bring him up from
the earth beneath, placing his geneal-
ogy with the worms. The other, the
biblical, brings him down from above.
According to Genesis, man was
made in the Divine likeness" What
are the marks of this image Of God" ?
First, the gift of reason. God is
rational, thinking spirit. And, in
distinction from the lower creatures,
He has stamped upon us this likeness
of Himself. God has craven His
mathematical thoughts upon atoms
and crystals and snowfakes and on
stars and worlds, and we can read
these thoughts and admire the won
drous picture He has painted in the
vast gallery Of nature because we have
faculty of reason akin to His own.
The Image of God" again, consists
in freedom. God is free. He knows
no law but His sovereign will. He
does what He chooses to do Nature
is under the grip of law. Necessity
holds it with unbending hand. The
animals obey their inevitable in
stincts But God has clothed man
with this Divine prerogative of free
will. He is sovereign.
His mind to Him a kingdom is"
To Him pertains the power Of choice.
He is the architect of his own soul.
He Is the fashioner Of his own destiny.
In the exercise of this perilous power
he can raise himself to the angels or
degrade himself below the brutes.
The image of God" further appears
in mans moral nature. AS power
characterizes the pagan deities, so
Righteousness and goodness character
ize Jehovah. The seat of mans like
ness to this divine quality is in con-
science. To be pure in heart, to shun
injustice and wrong, to cherish noble
and unselfish ideals, to do good to
fellow men, this likens one most of
all to God, his maker.
This unique truth should Undue man
with a sense of his greatness. 1t
should impel him to self respect. To
stoop to the low and mean Is to do
violence to his high nature and to
commit sacrilege against God, whose
image he wears. Only good and noble
ends are worthy of him.
Again it shows that we are fitted
for divine fellowship. Mans thoughts
can reach up and Gods thoughts can
come down and meet, because our ma
lures are akin. Hence we can have
secret speech with God. Prayer is
justified. The whispers of our souls
are the voices of a sea that beats on
the shore of life, but Of sea that
stretches away to shores where Is set
the throne of God
We taught respect for our fellow
man. In every one, no matter how
fallen, we should see vestiges of this
divine lineage Hence, too, issues a
sure hope of Immortality. The SUI
preme characteristics of God is that
"He liveth forever" We are made in
His image; we cannot die We have
the inbreathing of an indestructible
life.
Let no one, then, mar this image
of God," but preserve it's pristine
beauty and remember that He who
made us in His likeness made us for
Himself to serve not perishing, but
the noblest ends of being.

Dynamite for Tree Planting.

Holes for tree planting, according
to the Engineering Record, have been
excavated by the Long Island Rail-
way by blasting with dynamite. A
hole about two feet deep was first dug
with a posthole augur at an angle of
about 35 degrees with the surface and
loaded with half a stick of 40 per cent
dynamite. This shot makes hole
about two feet deep and three feet in
diameter, leaving the earth in the
bottom pulverized suitably for plant
ing. 1t is stated that two men can
thus excavate $50 holes per ten-hour
day at a cost of about ~ cents per
hole

After being sunk in the Tennessee,
river for II days, the big Lee lin'
steamer, Georgia Lee, OF Memphis
was raised this morning at 10 O'CLOCK
and this afternoon she was set on the
cradles of the marine ways She will
be pulled on the ways tomorrow. The
damage done to the boat Is not seri-

the starboard side near the bow OF
the boat, which was caused by one OF
the cradles holding Besides the
hole knocked In here and small
hole knocked in at Helena, Ark, for
which she came here to be repaired,
her hull is in good condition. The
white enamel paint in the cabin was
blistered by the water. Her decks
are covered with mud and sediment
from the Tennessee river water,
which can easily be gotten OF.
The loss at first was estimated at
$25D0O, but now the estimate has
fallen on considerable. The heaviest
expense is the cost of raising the boat
she win be put in the very best OF
condition on the ways as quickly as
possible. Several men aboard the
Georgia Lee today said she doesn't
look any the worse for being in the
river. except the dirt. On a thorough
examination Il was found out that
her boilers and machinery are in fine
shape.
Capt Dana Scott, of Pittsburgh, an
Insurance underwater, is in charge of
the raising of the Georgia Lee. and
today old rivermen, who knew some
thing Of raising boats and had seen
1t done before, said that Captain
Scott is to be commended for his fast
work and small wrcckage IN raising
the Lee boat. Captain Scott has been
at work on the sunken boat two
weeks and has her up in good shape
