"REMINISCENCES OF THE
CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR CON-
VENTIoN IN ATLANTA

The convention theme was "Pre-
paredness for Jesus; the convention
song, ut Pays to Serve Jesus" and
the convention text, 1 Chron. 20: 5,
"Aud who then is willing to conse-
crate his service this day unto the
iLord?" All these sublime truths were
brought out in the messages given by
gifted and earnest Christian men and
the beautiful Gospel songs, so enthus-
iasicly sung.
That famous trio Charles H. Cab
riel,, BILLY" Sundays song leader.
Homer Rodenheaver and Tillman of
evangelistic gifts, delighted us one
evening. Mr.. Gabriel's son was pi-
anoist for the entire convention, and
looks remarkably like his gifted faith

many times. Mr.. Rodenheaver's

believe that much of the famous

vival leader, Mr.. Rodenheaver.

During Past Year-TotaI Of 1897
Cars Accounted For. Oranges
Lead

Fruits and vegetables TO the amount
of 43,917 cars were shipped from
Florida during the season of 1855,
according to the statistics up to July
10. which is practically the closing
of the summer shipping season. and
although there are few cars Of
pineapples enroute North, the record
up to July is is as follows:
Oranges. 1886 cars; grapefruit,
5,59S cars; pineapples, 500 cars; wa
termelons. 2,703 cars; cantaloupes.
80 cars; strawberries, 402 cars; toma-
toes, 6.424 cars; lettuce. 2,205 cars;
celery. 3.599 carsffi potatoesi 1,434
cars; mixed vegetables, 1921 cars;
On account of the good prices
which have prevailed this season on
fruits and vegetables, many farmers
are busy preparing their land for the
fall vegetable crops, and there is ex-
pected to be a large increase in acre
age of lettuce and beans in the state.
The weather has been ideal for those
preparing their land on account Of
the frequent rains over the entire

Heavy Shipments OF
Produce From Florida
FLORIDA CROP SHIPMENTS.

According to statistics covering
shipments of fruits and vegetables
during the 1856 season, which prac-
tically came to close on the 18th of
July, nearly $4,000 car loads passed
through Jacksonville and other points
for the Northern markets. This is
indeed gratifying showing. 1t DEM
onstrates the magnitude of Florida's
crops already.
But the shipment of $4,000 car loads
is but the beginning of what is to
come. Florida as an agricultural
State is in it's infancy. Some day she
will rank among the greatest food
producing States of the Union. II
10000 car loads of fruits and vege-
tables can be sent out from less than
one-tenth of the area of the State un-
der cultivation, what could we expect
with the half of he States acreage
under cultivation by improved meth
DDS? In Florida there are more than
25,000,000 acres of land. All of these
35,OO0,OO0 acres that are not occupied
by city population should be used for
agricultural purposes.
They should be used for agricultur-
al pursuits of one character or an
other. Cattle raising, fruit growing
and vegetable growing will some day
make Florida. Those are her best
bets and the time will come when we
shall read of 100000 car load ship
ments for the season instead of $4,000
car loads Jacksonville Metropolis.

new MACHINE FOR TESTING BOXES

A machine for testing the strength
of boxes has been devised by engin-
GERS of the Forest Service and is in
at Madison, Wisconsin. The machine
is the result of experiments made TO
determine a fair test for all types of
boxes. A series of tests in co-opera
ton with the American Society for
Testing Materials and the National
Associa ton of Box Manufacturers has
been carried on during the past year
to determine the strength of boxes of
various woods and Of different con-
struction. Over four and a half bill
lion feet of lumber is used for box
making every year, and on this ac
count the tests are considered import
ant. Moreover. big losses are caused
by the breakage Of boxes in transit
and all parties concerned are said 10
be anxious to determine the best kind
of box.
The machine consists Of a heXagonal
drum with 3 1-2-foot sides, which is
lined with thin steel sheets. Pieces of
scantling bolted to the bottom form
what are known as hazards"
In making the tests boxes filled with
cans containing water are placed in
the drum, which is then rotated. For
convenience in observing the results
of the tests, the sides and ends of the
box are numbered with large figures,
and in addition other numbers are
placed at specified points on each
side. The hazards" cause the boxes
to be carried part way around and
then dropped back to the lower level
Of the drum. Each fall of this sort is
a pretty fair imitation Of the probable
treatment it would receive in ship
ment. The boxes are watched care

An Effective Laxative -,
For Growing Children
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Highly Recommended as
a Family Remedy.

In children the slightest irregularity
Of the bowels has a tendency to disturb
the entire digestive system, and unless
promptly remedied invites serious ILL
ness. The experienced mother knows
that by training her children to regu-
larity in this respect. and when occasion
arises administering a mild laxative, she
will have little need for the doctors SER
vices.
Mrs. Leo veigand, 1881 Central Ave,
n. S., Pittsburg. Pa. whose two boys,
Frank and Joseph, are shown in the IL
lustration. writes that she has found DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin a most effective
laxative, not only for the children but
also for helself and that she will al
ways keep ii in the house to use when
needed. DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts easily and natur-
ally. without gripping or other pain or
discomfort. 1t is pleasant to the taste
so that children like it. and is equally
effective on the strongest constitution

In reports and records of the war
there are few words more frequently
met with than salient. Yet as noun
1t is quite modern, and is only to be
found in the most modern dictionaries,
but as an adjective it was in use CEN
turles ago in its original sense of leap
ing. Now that which leaps is promin-
ent, and so this became the secondary
meaning. Then as that which projects
is also prominent. a projecting angle
was called a salient angle, and the ex-
preston passed into use by military
authorities. Short as it is however,
they found it too long. and. dropping
the angle, gave us the new term with
which we are all familiar.-London

Tho Armory Question

Adjutant General Presson was in
Lewiston Wednesday evening in con-
ference with the commission appoint
ed at the winter session Of the Legis-
1ature to investigate and report on the
ACCESSIBILITY Of building new armories
for the use Of the National Guard of
Maine. The members present were
Inspector General James L. Moriarty
of Lewiston. Col Charles H. Osgood Of
Lewiston and Col. Stearns Of Norway,
of the Armory Board
This was the first meeting Of the
commission and the business consisted
OF discussing the plans and sites for
an irmo-y in Lewiston, the idea being
TO JOIN with the city in such a way
that building suitable for many pur-
sposes might be secured. 1t is probable
that Lewiston and Bangor will be the
first to have armories provided for their
Guardsmen.

The Turks Arabian campaign Is be-
ing fought with the aid Of a railway
that is unusual. 1t is a railway with
out shareholders, for it's capital was
raised by means of subscriptions given
by pious Mohammedans. The sultan
gave a personal offering of $4,000, and
his good example was followed by the
Turkish government, which levied
toll of one-tenth of a months pay on
every civil service official, and on the
whole army from general to private.

fully. and notes are taken on the man
ner in which they give way and the
number of falls required to break
them in pieces.
In this way, say the officials who
have conducted the tests, it is possible
to determine what kinds of wood are
best suited for boxes The tests
showed a decided need for a standard
classification of box woods. and three
groups have been made, based on the
data which was obtained.
The tests also show the best meth
DDS of box construction. The experts
say that one of the most striking
things brought out was the inadequacy
OF the ordinary methods of mailing up
boxes. The number of nails used and
the way they are put in are import
ant. One nail more to the side of
box will give it a great deal more
strength than might be thought The
rails should not be driven too deep
into the wood. In many cases, it is
said, proper mailing will allow re-
auction of the amount of lumber used
without any decrease in the value OF
the box. Boxes with cleated ends were
found to be much stronger than those
without cleats.
AS result of the tests made at the
Forest Products Laboratory, tentative
, specifications for boxes used in ship
ment of canned goods have been
drawn up and submitted to the vari-
Gus parties interested, for discussion.
