ed earnest contention Ter the
Faith First) once delivered 10
the Saints. O look. wake up all
you folk and see the sight. They
cant see, let US pray like Elisha
did for the young man in end
King 6:I7, Lord open the peo-
pies eyes that they may see this
mighty host of Baptist coming
up to Centralia, and coming
through to Centralia; it reminds
Us OF our Baptist boys on the day
OF pentecost This Baptist host
means the same thing. the same
faith and the same. Lord, and the
same Baptism. Let every Bap-
tist church in the State be repre-
sented at Centralia in May at the
General Missionary State Asso-
ciation. We must organize our
forces. the wo men, to reap down
the harvest.
Look how Southern Illinois
has been revolutionized in these
lew short years by the organiza-
ton OF the East Mt Olive Bap-
tist Association, either of Sthe
two bodies are raising more
money. and are doing more tan
g'ble christian mission work than
the whole was doing before.
Brethren, the work must be
done and it is given to the Bap

Impossible to Blockade Us.

Apropos of bIockades the United
States occupies a unique position among
nations A blockade of it's seaports is
absolutely impossible There are not
ships enough in the world to achieve it.
Between Bangor in Maine and Corpus
Christi in Texas there are forty ports
connected by rail with the vast net
work of iron rail which extends over
all parts of our country.
There are forty ports where cotton
and wheat and cattle and canned and
sa1ted foods could be placed on ship
board, and a foreign power could no
more blockade all of them at once than
it could prevent the shad and salmon
from swimming up our rivers to spawn.
In the event of war we would be I'M
mune from invasion except from Can
ada. Invasion of any great nation, or
at least continued armed occupation of
the soil of any great nation which Is
separated by an ocean from its adver-
sary, is practically an impOssibihty
There might be some places where foes
could land, but there would be no place
where they could re-embark, for those
who came would stay-a foreign flag
would never float over any interior
city.-Los Angeles Daily Times.

DOGS HELPED EACH OTHER
Case of Mutual Understanding Seems
to Argue for Existence of
intellect.

A horse trough in one of the suburbs
of Sydney was the scene of funny in
cident the other afternoon. Two dogs,
water spaniels, were trotting along,
when they came to this place, and
stopped for a drink. They were both
thirsty, but neither was tall enough
to reach the trough; and they talked
the matter over, as dogs will, and won
dered why they had not been treated
with as much consideration as horses.
Presently they solved the problem.
One of them ranged himself under the
edge of the trough and the other. rest
ing his forefeet upon his companions
back, was able to reach into the pool
and slake his thirst When he had fin
ished he hoped down, seemed to say
that the water was good, and then in
turn ranged himself under the edge Of
the trough, and the other reached up
for the drink he had earned. When he
was satisfied, they trotted away to-
gether, as well contented as any man
could be who had met a problem and
vanquished it.-Dawn.

TIE coonskin Can.

The coonskin cap is the badge OF
pioneer extraction. The time was
when the coonskin cap was to a rife
match and turkey rattle what a col
lapsible silk tile is to the foyer of
DelmOnico's restaurant Fitness OF
dress to occasion is a prime consid-
Grafton, and the day was when an
early pioneer occasion in winter was
made as distinctive with coonskin
caps as Fifth avenue is distinctive to-
day with high and shiny plug hats -
True, a coonskin cap with the ear
Iappers turned up. yet lying on from
the head at about forty-fve degrees
and with the tie strings pendant there
from more resembles a war bonnet
than headpiece Of civilized man; but,
for all that, one can hardly do less
than feel sort of veneTation for the
cOOnskin cap as symbolical of the
traditions Of midwest pioneers, and
SO well reminding one of their sterling
qualities. No pioneer historical col
lection should be counted complete
without a coonskiR cap.-Lafayette

AFFECTED BY WATERS DEPTH
Geographers Have Found It Easy TO
Trace the Cause of Tidal
Irregularities.

To be exact, there is only one ocean
in the world where the tides follow
the moon with regularity, and this is
the great Antarctic basin. And the
reason is that there is the only place
a sweep of water is to be found that
is entirely uninterrupted by land.
Tue enormous waves caused by the
rooms attraction course round the
Cape of Good Hope, with absolutely
nothing to break them Here in our
1orthern hemisphere great masses Of
and interrupt the tidal waves and,
combined with the shallowness of the
inland seas, cause them to perform
antics which seem most strange.
The depth of the water has much
to do with the tidal irregularities. Out
in the open ocean, where the tide is
abysmaI-about five thousand fathoms
the speed Of the waves is amazing
Where the depth decreases to five
fathoms the tide cannot travel more
than fifteen miles an hour. In Eng
land, for example, which is surround
ed by narrow, land-broken seas, the
result is that they get some of the
most dangerous tidal races and cur
rents to be found The most formid-
able of these is the whirlpool between
the islands Of Jura and Scarba, on
the west coast of Scotland. This is
known as the "Caldron Of the Spotted
Seas"
There the current runs at times at
the rate of more than twelve miles an
hour, and the force of a heavy tidal
current rushing up to the wide
mouthed river forms what is called a
bore" A most striking example Of
this tidal feature is often seen on the
Amazon, when a moving wall of wa
ter, reaching from bank to bank and
to a height of more than twenty feet,
will rush inland.

keepina Flowers With SUGAR.

Two professors of the school of ag-
riculture at Rennes, France, have
made some interesting experiments in
prolonging the lives of cut flowers.
One hundred different flowers we're
used in the experiments, and it was
found that sugar helped to keep most
of them fresh, but was positively in
furious to lilies and sweet peas. 1t
hastens the opening of roses and
orchids, but did not thus affect tulips,
daisies or chrysanthemums.
Experiments were made with small
quantities of choral, ether, sglycerin,
alcohol, Emewater and ammonia salts,
each Of which served to lengthen the
life of various flowers. Some of the
flowers kept in sugar and water lived
four times as long as they ordinarily
would.
The sugar does not have an exactly
equal effect on the different flowers
it preserves. Carnations seem to like
a 10 per cent solution and roses do
better in a solution Of from to 10
per cent.-FIorists' Exchange.
