CARAT AT MONTE CARLO
WITH GREAT ABANDON

Paris, Sept. 23.-The Aga Kahn, the
immensely wealthy prince of India,
who among other things is head Of
the Mohammedan religion in his coun-
try, caused a sensation at Deauville
Casino recently by his high play at
bacarrat, He seemed to be quite in
different whether he won or lost, and
many people who observed him ex-
pressed their conviction that he had
no actual knowledge at any time on
this point
1t was the custom of the prince to
go to the gambling rooms accompani-
ed by a servant Carrying a yalise full
I Of bank notes. The prince, from time
to time during the play would either
request his servant, who stood behind
his chair to remove the piles of win
nings and stuff them in the valise, or
else to supply him with fresh bum
dies of 1,0O0-frano notes to hazard.
Perhaps the servant was more oD-
serving than the master and knew
whether fortune smiled or not, but to
observers he was as inscrutable as
the prince and gave no sign.

with the Aga, frequently winning or

Count Stenboch Fermor, Of the Is
land Of Great Lyakerslqy, New Sibe-
ria, has presented to the natural his
tory museum in Paris what is CON
sidered to be the finest specimen of
a mammoth yet found.
The gift is especially interesting
because the animal had not finished
digesting his last meal at the moment
of his death, countless centuries ago.
Thus the sayants are, for the first
time, able to study accurately the ma
ture of the flora Of the far distant
epoch; they have simply to examine
the contents of the mammoth's stomach
He was found in an absolutely com
plete condition in a strata Of ice. The
skin, which is without a scratch lis
covered within reddish hair, thick and
soft to the touch as that Of a lap
dog. The work of digging out the
monster from this primeval cold stor.
age and bringing him to Paris was
one Of extreme difficulty The body
was cut carefully into pieces each one
labelled and then carried 1900 miles
to a railway line on dog sledges.
The museum has come into posses
sion OF the skeleton of an enormous
dinosaurus found near Maiunga, on
the west coast Of Madagascar, by the
explorer Perrier de la Bate. Some
idea of the dimension Of this mon
ster may be gained from the fact that
a strong man can barely lift one sec
tion Of the vertebrae. Although only
partially disinterred, the natural his
tory experts of the museum estimate
from measurements Of the parts they
already have that this dinosaurian
considerably exceeds in size the diplo-
docus, plaster cast of which Mr..
Carnegie gave the museum Another
acquisition is the skeleton Of one of
the fabulous birds known to palaeon-
tologists as apiornis, which stood 1S
feet tall.

however, do not appear particularly
pleased with the outlook. as they hold
that no marked activity in railroad
buying can be expected, unless there
is a material slackening in the money
markets as well as a change in the
railroad situation to warrant the hope
of increased earnings by the roads.
It is pointed out that railroad pur.

Consider the Lilies"
They have no care;

They have no care;
They bend their heads before the
storm,
And rise to meet the sunshine
warm;
They dance responsive to the breeze
And nestle meath the bending trees;
They take whatever life shall bring,
As gaily as the birds that sing.
They do not toll;
Content with their allotted task.
Then do but grow; they do not ask
A richer lot, higher sphere,
But in their loneliness appear,
And grow and smile, and do their
best,
And unto God leave all the rest.
They have no sin;
Their sweet bright faces they up
raise,
And shrink not from the suns
warm gaze;
And if the world should soil, the
rain
Comes down and makes them clean
again
And scented, beautiful and white,
They live their lives in Gods dear
sight
/ They have no tears;
No shadows dims their perfectness
Their bright, pure lives the world
must bless;
Enough have they of cloth of gold;
They lift their cups the dew to hold
God cares for them, with sun and
shower
In royal robes attires each flower,
The Great of earth, with all their
ease,
Is never clothed as "Oue OF these"

Wrona Views Respeetina Prayer.

Pastor Russell then showed conclu-
sively that nearly all have discerned
the subject of prayer very indistnctly.
Sinners have been urged to pray; NOR
alists, who have never accepted Christ
as their Savior, have been chided for
not praying. The impression has been
given that God Is very anxious to be
approached by anybody at any time
This the Pastor declares Is mistake.
AS no one would think of rushing in
formally into the presence of an earth
ly potentate, so none should expect to
enter the Divine Presence without
preparation, and to ask Heavenly ia,
vors with selfshness more or less fill
ing the heart.
God has q special arrangement where
by His cOnsecrated people may APP
proach Him. 1--WE 1.-THE Royal Priest

the Redeemer will become Advocate
for any, certain terms must be com
piled with He serves only those who
become His disciples. None others
have any assurance whatever or d.
vine supervision of their affairs, or any
authority for coming to God In prayer.
The Pastor stated one exception to
| this Divine rule. The children of con-
secrated parents have standing be-
fore God through their relationship to
their parents But this standing man
ifestly terminates shortly after the
child reaches a personal knowledge Of
its responsibilities. Thereupon 1t must
make a personal covenant with the
Lord, or else have Its standing with
the remainder Of the world
That standing, the Pastor reminded
his hearers. does not mean liability to

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW
By W. M. Reean.

The amount of cream sold by
Missouri farmers has diminished
about one.third during the last
three weeks. This decrease is large
ly due to the recent severe drouth
that has dried up the pastures, On.
ly those cows that have received
some feed besides pasture grass
have kept up their usual June milk
flow. The farmer who allows his
cows to hustle for themselves on
the parched pastures is making a
mistake. Not only is it hard on
the pastures but it is false economy
to allow the cows to drop offin milk
yield in order to save a few dollars
on the feed bill. The grass especial.
ly the bluegrass, must get its new
growth from the roofs, and if it is
to make the best growth possible
and produce the largest amount Of
feed it must be allowed to get a
fair start. Grass grows much more
rapidly after it is up a coupleincheS
than when it is closely cropped. By
observing this point favorable
weather conditions will result in
good late pastures. In order to
take advantage of these good late
pastures and to profit by the higher
price of butterfat which is paid in
the fall and winter the milk yield
of the cows must be kept up, for if
it is allowed to drop off it can new
er be regained. Money spent for
feed that does not return a profit
now will do so later.
What to feed for this purpose
will of course depend upon the kind
of feed that is at hand. If possible,
the feed should be succulent and
cheap, if not it will probably be
profitable to feed the niger priced
dry feeds. as grain and hay, in order
to MAINTAIN the yield. The greer
feeds which are usually used fol
this purpose, sorghum and corn, are
not to be had this year because the
drouth came so very early. But
where a green feed is available it
should be fed The farmer whose
oat crop is too short to bind can put
it to no better purpose than that
of using it as a green feed. Fol
farmer who is lucky enough or wise
enough to have silage the problem
is a simple one as silage furnishes
the best and cheapest feed for this
purpose. This experience should
prove lesson to those farmers who
have empty silos and to those who
can afford to build silos but have
neglected to do so. A supply o
silage at a time like this mean;
dollars saved

Only conseerated Priests Pray.

When | refer to consecrated priests,
said Pastor Russell, do not misunder-
stand me to mean the clergy of any or
all denominations. The Bible recog-
nizes no clerical class, but declares,
"All We are brethren. One is your Mas
ter, even Christ" (Matthew 23:S.) For
eighteen centuries Gods work in the
world has been to call out a Royal
Priesthood class. Jesus, their High
Priest. was first called to suffering and
then to glory; and His footstep follow
ers have done the same. Through this
Royal Priesthood the world will, in the
future, have access to God.

Mine House shall be called an House

The Pastor said: These words applied
to the Jewish Temple. which in turn
was typical Of the Spiritual Temple of
the future. The nntitypical Temple
has not yet been built. ST. Peter de-
scribes it as the Church in glory,
whose chief Corner Stone is Christ and
whose living stones are the saints of
God, now being chiseled and polished
for places in that Temple.
AS the stones Of Soomon's Temple
were all completed before the construc-
tiQn was begun, SO the Church of Christ
will be constructed at the end of this
Age, after all the Giving stones" shall
have been fitted for glory. This will
be accomplished by the power of the
First Resurrection-"cha in mo-
ment, in the twinkling of an eye; for
flesh and blood cannot inherit the
Kingdom of. God"
AS in the type, 80 the finished anti
typical structure will be followed by
Divine recognition. The Temple will
be filed with the glory Of the Lord,
and thus marked as His dwelling place
forever. Thus will be established
very soon, we trust-God's antitypical
House of Prayer, wherein and where
by all mankind may come into fellow
ship with their Creator and have COM
