The Spiritual Life.

Spiritual music can only come
from discords set in unison" said
Carlyle. It would be worth the time
and space of q whole sermon to d.
late upon that wonderful truth. Good
comes not from an easy. languishing
life, where virtue meets no opposition
and where courage encounters no de-
fiance. All discords are created by
divine love to make spiritual musiO
out of. Those who do not meet with
such discords will not hear such mu-
sic. Such experience Is left for sac
rifice to turn into harmony. Do you
meet a friend who may seem to turn
against you. don't leave him till the
harmony is restored. not by appeal
or instruction, but by the union OF
your own life. This may seem senti'
ment, but remember the spiritual life
is as harsh and exacting a. the ma
terial life. These are days that need
80 much of. this fine philosophy, not
to say religion, that there is q sweep
ing tendency toward the dalliance OF
life that would escape all discords
and therefore never hear any spirit
ual music.-Ohio State Journal.

mated to be 1913 feet in height and "a

The purpose of the contest was TO
find out in what regions the native
trees attain their largest growth and
under what conditions they thrive
best The Genetic association hopes
that it may be possible to secure
seeds. cuttings or grating wood from
the remarkably thrifty trees In order
to see whether finer specimens can
be propagated in other parts OF the

some particularly choice strains Of

Cold Limit.

Rare atmospheric gas known as
neon, which was first isolated in 1898
by fractional distillation Of liquid air.
is now used successfully in electric
lighting. II a mild electric current
passes through tube that contains
minute quantity Of neon, it pro-
duces a golden light that 10 soft and
agreeable to the eyes, and makes the
object it illumines stand out with re-
markable sharpness. The neon tubes
require less current than the mercury
vapor lamp and give out less heat
than any other form Of electric light.
Moreover, the electric current disinte-
CRATES the new gas very slowly; the
tubes will produce light for from eight
hundred to a thousand hours without
being renewed. Recently four neon
tubes, nearly 100 feet long. were sue
cessfully used to light an exhibit at
the Grand Palais in Paris.

II q man takes wheat to an ele-

with the understanding that q sale
of the wheat is to be made when the
owner of the wheat no desires, at
the market price for that day, this
does not bind the elevator to buy the
wheat. II when the owner of the
wheat decides to sell, he 80 informs
the owner or the manager OF the
elevator, and the latter refuses to
buy, then the contract is not COM
pleted and the elevator cannot be
held for the market price of the
wheat for that day. This is accord
ing to the ruling Of Judge r. l.. King
in the district court here.
A. C. Bertschinger stored in the
elevator at Carlton owned by w. T.
Hacker 500 bushels of wheat soon
after harvest. The understanding he
says he made with the manager, II.
e. Stearns, was that the elevator
should purchase the wheat at the
market price when Mr.. Bertschinger
desired to sell. When wheat had
climbed to 95 cents, Mr.. Bertschin-
ger called up the elevator and offer
ed to sell the wheat. The elevator
refused to buy. Mr.. Bertschinger
sued. After the suit was filed, Mr..
Hacker filed papers in the district
court here, offering to confess judg-
ment for $572.9O. When the case
was tried here and all the evidence
introduced, Judge King sustained
the demurrer offered by the de-
fendant, and ruled that no evidence
of a completed contract or sale had
been shown, and that there could be
no contract until both parties agreed
as to what the market price was.
There was no agreement In writing.
Had Mr.. Bertschlnger and Mr.. Hack
er's agent agreed as to the market
price, then the. sale would have been
completed, according to Judge King.
The case did not go to the jury, as
the plaintiff when the defendants
demurrer was sustained, accepted
the best judgment offered by the
defendant, which was $572.9O. Sew
