Of the governments policy.
Jeroboam's First Mistake
It should be remarked that one Of Gods
prophets had specially foretold to Jero-
boam that he was to be the king OF the
ten tribes 1t was doubtless this that leo
him to head the insurrection. He should
have followed the example OF KING Ia
vid who was anointed king of Israel sew
eral years before the death Of King Saul
Young David was content to wait Gods
time for bringing him to the throne. The
fact that God had indicated that TINS
would be so did not indicate that the Tune
had come, hence David waited on the
Lord and meanwhile learned valuable les
sons Of self-control and trust In DIVINE
Providence.
Not so Jeroboan, who was evidently
very different type Of man, no doubt pos
sessed Of more confidence In himself than
Of trust in God; possessed OF more lmpa-
tience to be a king than of loyalty ana
patriotic zeal to serve God and MS people
This first mistake should be noted by an.
'eWait We 4pon me, saith the Lord!' The
man who ignores God is not wise; the
man who opposes God is FOOL.
Jeroboam's Second Mistake
When the ten tribes revolted against
King Rehoboam, So1omon's son, they
promptly accepted Jeroboan, one OF SOLO
mons servants, as their king, in harmony
with the Prophets declaration OF years
before. Finally the boy of humble olrtn
had reached a high station Of inhuepce-a
grand opportunity for service for his COD
and his people. Whoever occupies posi-
ton of prominence-political.s social, liter
ary-should recognize that thereby he mas
come under special responsibility and OBJ
ugations toward all with whom he mas
to do.
But Jeroboam, king Of the ten tribes
styled Israel, took the course, alas, 100
commonly taken-the selfish course. lie
looked not to the Lord to serve him. nor
to the people, to serve their best IL erests.
He looked selfshly to his own interests.
He reasoned thus: If I would establish
nv family in the kingdom of these ten
tribes, I must separate, them effectually
from the influence Of the kingdom Of Ju-
dah And since, in Gods Providence, the
Temple is in the land Of Judah, and all
the religious rites and interest OF the peo-
ole center there, must as unobtruslVeIy
as possible turn the attention Of the ma
ton I rule away from sympathy with
their fellows Of the kingdom OF judah,
and away from the regulations which COO
has established there.
Every worldly politician would declare
Jeroboam a master spirit as a ruler, as a
politician. He was worldly wise. God
through the Prophet had assured him, II
thou wilt hearken to all that I will COM
mand thee, and wilt walk in my ways,
and do right in my sight to keep my
statutes and my commandments, as Da-
vsd my servant did, thy kingdom will be
prolonged"-I Kings u:3&.
God explained that the reason for CIV
ing Jeroboam rulership Of the ten tribes

(5). The kernels on all parts of the
ear should be- as near alike in shape,

ties should not be less than eight i'll.
ches with a circumference abou:: six
inches measured oNe-third the dis
lance from bl*t.
Having selected about so ears ac-
cording to the above directions from
the one hundred fist gathered thcy
should be stored away until near
planting time in some dry place whero
weevils or mice will not affect them.
Then they should be placed on a plank
or large box and numbered consecu-
lively from 1 to SO in order that they
may be Tested for termination or abil-
ity to sprout. This test is made as
follows: Fill a soap or starch box
with wet sawdust, placing on top of
the sawdust wet -four or meal sack
which has been laid off in pencil
squares 2x2 inches. The squares
should Ghen be numbered from to so.
Then take ear Nc. J. and remove six
kernels from it, taking the first ker-
mel about one inch from the butt,
slightly turn ear in the hand and re-
move another kernel about one and
half inches from the place where the
first one was removed. Continue this
slight turning of the ear and removal
of kernels until the six are secured.
Having removed the kernels, place
them germ side up in square No. l, all
tips pointing in the same direction.
Continue to remove kernels from the
individual ears, placing them in the
square corresponding to the number
Of the ear from which they were re-
moved. Then cover them with wet
sack and place the box in the kitchen
and allow it to remain there week,
wetting it twice during that length of
time. After the test has been running
about week remove the top sack and
examine each square containing the
kernels. The number of these squares
which do not contain six large sprouts
should be ascertained and the ear cor
responding to the number of that par
ticular square should be discarded, as
all of the kernels on it will not grow.
Having decided which ears are to
be retained each should be planted on
separate row. It is not necessary
that the entire ear be planted, but pre-
cautions must be taken so that each
row planted will have the same num-
Der of stalks and distance, both in the
uIIl1 duu UCtWCSu U1S 1OWS.
The following fall each TOW should
be gathered separately and the ears
from,it weighed. The best ears from
the highest yielding rows should be
saved to start another breeding patch
the second year. The most desirable
ears from several of the next iligheSt
yielding rows can be used for planting
the general crop.
It is necessary that the breeding
patch be several hundred yards from
any other corn field to prevent mix
ing with inferior varieties, and that
the character of the fertilizers and
cultivation of the land used be- as near
like the general field as possible.

BRiQUET.

One of the most modern geniuses of
the modern French School of Music is
Jean Briquet. He is the composer of
the score of the new German-French
farce with music, Alma, Where Do
You Live" which Joe Weber will pre-
sent for the first time here at the Tu-
lane, on October s.
Mr.. Weber, in a way, is responsible
for the vogue which has followed
Briquet's music in this country. In
the various processes of producing the
original French farce in other coun-
tries, notably Germany, the music of
Briquet was gradually eliminated and
that of local composers substituted.
Even when Adolph Phillips brought the
German version to America and pro-
duced it in New York, he had eliminat-
edsall but few of the original Briquet
numbers.
With considerable sagacity, how
ever, Mr.. Weber restored the entire
score for his New York production in
English, and the result was a popu-
larity for Briquet in this country which
was not included in even his fondest
dreams of success.

NO DRAWBRIDGE.

According to a statement made by
Superintendent J. STAINS Landry. of
the New Orleans, Southern G. Grand
Isle Railroad. it is unlikely that the
road will give any assistance in the
matter Of erecting a drawbridge over
the outfall canal from Algiers to Bayou
Barataria. Col. Landry said that from
the viewpoint of the railroad there
was no real reason for a change from
the present stationary structure. He
said that he had advised the placing
OF a drawbridge at the time the pres.
ent bridge was built, but the Sewerage
and Water Board, who did the work.
paid no heed.
The matter is being agitated by
members of the Algiers Improvement
Association, and Col. Landry said II

THE FIRE MARsHAL's PLEA.

New Orleans, La, Sept %, 1911.
To the Citizens of Louisiana:
1t is a time-honored and beautiful
custom Of the American people to cele
brate in a fitting manner the anniver
sary of memorable events in their his.
tory to inculcate patriotism, to instill
civic righteousness, and to teach les.
sons of citizenship.
In harmony with this practice and
in appreciation of the inestimable good
results from such celebrations, the
National Fire Marshals Association
has designated Monday, October 8,
1911, the anniversary of the great Chi
cago fire, as Fire Prevention day, to
bring home to the people of the coun-
try the direful calamities of such dread
disasters and to urge careful co-opera-
ton with the fire-prevention authori-
ties in minimizing the possibilities of
fire.
The press is, therefore, invoked to
direct the attention of the people of
the state to the date fixed, and to ap-
peal to them to celebrate the day by
a general cleaning up of all debris,
trash, waste paper, chimneys, heating
apparatus, ETC., upon their premises,
thereby reducing fire hazard.
Teachers, private, public and paro-
chial. may perform a highly valuable
public service by urging their charges
through short talks to recognize the
day and celebrate it in manner pre-
scribed by the National Fire Marshals'
Association in their laudable and ener-
getic efforts towards fire prevention.
Let us celebrate the day, reduce fire
risks, and thus, help ourselves as we'll
as our communities.
Very respectfully,
B. P. SULLIVAN,
Fire Marshal.

SECRETARY MEYER CLOSES STA
TlON-CAPTAIN HELM
ORDERED AWAY.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Unmoved by
the adverse agitation in the South, the
Navy Department is steadily carrying
out the plans projected by Secretary
Meyer for the practical closing of
Southern navy yards. This was made
evident by an order published to-day
detaching Captain James NJ. Helm as
commander of the New Orleans yard
and assigning him to general court
martial duty. Captain Helm will be
the last commissioned officer of the
navy to perform duty in the New Or.
leans navy yard if the present plan
continues in force. Tuesday the yard
was placed in charge of Carpenter Joel
A. Davis, who will be actually a care
taker and nothing more. This action
marks the extent of the power of the
secretary of the navy to suppress the
New Orleans plant. AS the yard was
created by an act of Congress, it must
continue to be a naval establishment
until Congress shall see fit to direct
its abandonment and sale. However.
the secretary's Withholding all naval
work from the yard and dissipating the
force Of employees can secure practi-
cally the same result.
