A LAY SERMON.
The signs of the times arc pro-
pituous. The "moral yearn
ings" of tlic proplc will be pro
ductive. A higher code of ethics
than that comprehended in the
mere accumulation of wealth is
creeping into the American life.
The leaven of Kooscvelt , I.aKo-
Ictte and Jerome is working , and
an honest man is rising to the
highest pinnacle of America's re
gard. The time will come when
the question will be not how
much money has he , hut how did
he jet it ? The commercialism
of America has been an epidemic
that has brought reproach upon
our people. Greed and avarice
are diseases- Let the virus get
into the blood and the very foun
tain is tainted. Some men many
men spell success with two hori
zontal bars drawn through the
first letter. Get money is a slo
gan that distroys every other
aim in life , it even distroys the
love of life and substitutes in its
place the love of gold. It makes
the day a grasping , miserly per
iod ; it robs the night of repose.
It trades friends for dollars , and
causes a man to lose the only
chance lie will have through all
eternity to live this life as it is
intended. Out of all the years
that are gone , out of all the ages
to come , it is given to you and mete
to live this life but once : is it
worth while to lose the best of it
to miss our only chance , in the
search for gold ?
A reasonable material well be
ing is desirable ; enough to care
for the wife and little ones , to
educate the children , to purchase
some of the advanlagesof life , t (
one day lay down the implements
of toil and walk through the
gathering twilight in contempla
tion and and silence unharrassct
by the pangs of want. More
than this no man needs.
If at limes the virus of gree (
finds lodgement and creates fo
an hour the dreams of grea
wealth struggle with it fo
it is destroying : walk through tin
early morning and see the sun
light sift through the leaves
watch the shifting shadows in tin
hills , observe the lleecy clouds 01
its lazy journey across the bhu
and mark how beautiful God ha
made the world for your domin
ion.
' 'And remember that love i
not getting , but giving ; not i
wild dream of pleasure , and
madness of desires oh no , levis
is not that it is goodness , an
peace , and pure living yes , levis
is that ; and it is the best thin
in the world , and the thing the
lives longsst. "

BLACK DEATH , RATS , FLEAS
It Is Believed Thnt Germs on Rodents
Arc Accountnblo for Tcr-
rlblo Plague.
The origin and nature of the
black death , which devastated En-
ope during the middle ages , hurt
never been clear , says Collier's.
Jt HOt'ins certain that the infection
was brought by the ships of cer
tain tniderscHcaping from ( he Cri
mea , where they had been at
tacked by the Tartars at a town
on the Kiver Don. During llie at
tack the Tartars were stricken
with violent plague , which caused
great loss of life among them. In
the hope of giving the curse to the
people of the besieged town , they
threw bodies of their dead into
the town. Their hopes were ful
filled , and the defenders were
also attacked by the plague.
These traders took to their ships
and sailed to various European
ports , Constantinople , Venice and
Genoa , leaving the black death
everywhere behind them. This
black death had certain striking
features in common with the Bom
bay plague of India. . A careful
search of the records of Indian
history has shown ( hat ( here had
been an outbreak of plague in In
dia just previous to the time of
the Tartar siege and the introduc
tion of the black death into Eu
rope. These Tartars might very
easily have taken the disease from
the people of India. If that is the
true story of the train of events ,
then the black death of ( hemiddle
ages was the modern plague , ndis-
ease which we know to be caused
by a certain specitle bacillus.
Efforts have been made to
learn the means by which ( his dis
ease is carried , and what causes
lead to an outbreak. Certain
facts bearing on these points have
lately come to light and may lead
to a correct knowledge of ( he
means of plague transmission.
Hats have the disease and rat ( leas
have been examined and found tc
contain quantities of the plague
bacilli. Ordinarily the rat liens
are not found on man. Duringep
idemics of plague , however
these rat lleas are found in notable
quantities on human beings , am
there is no evident reason whj
they may not inoculate man In
( heir bites. Doubtless these
things have something ( ode will
( he spread of the plague , aldiougl
enough is not yet known to allov
the whole chain of events to hi
made out.

OYSTER CULTURE IN JAPAN
Over Two Centuries Ago , the Orientals
Wore Engaged in Industry of
Recent Origin Ilcrc.
The backwaidne.SH and unpro-
grcHsivowss of the element of our
population that opposes oyster
culture are indicated by a fact
stated in the National Geographic
Magazine , namely , that the Japanese -
ese were cultivating oysters over
two centuries a o on the only
practical basis of individual eon-
trolof HieoyskT bottoms. This in
telligent people long ago saw what
our politicians do not yet see
that reaping without sowing is as
improvident and ruinous in aquiculture -
culture as in agriculture. "Ir
comes as a shock to our national
pride , " says the National Geographic
graphic Magazine for May , "that
the .Japanese should have taken
ii ] > oyster culture a century before
our nation was born and have rec
ognized the most essential factor
in successful cultivation , namely ,
individual ownership or control
of the oyster bottoms , when wo
remember that in the most impor
tant oyster region in the world ,
within a short distance of the cap
ital of the United Slates , the vital
principles of oyster culture are ig
nored and efforts to apply them
are resisted sometimes by force
of arms. " Happily for the Japs ,
among them the least intelligent
are not permitted to dictate the
policy of the state to their own
hurt and to the injury of large pub'
lie interests.
Not only do the Japs cultivate
with great protlt the common oyster
tor , but they cultivate also the
pearl oyster. They stimulate the
pearl secretion artificially , witli
the result that every year thej
have l,2iOOI ( ) ) oysters undei
treatment and obtain annually
some 250,000 pearls. Among in
the raising of terrapin is an un
solved problem , so that we are fac
ing the extinction of the diamond
back and of other less valued va
rieties. But the Japs for yean
have been placing artiHciall ;

eral days the past week. Mr.
Abbey is a very interesting gen
tleman and tells many enter
taining incidents relating to
General Grant , whose body
guard he was during three years
of the civil war. Among other-
things Mr. Abbey states that
notwithstanding he was with
Grant constantly on the inarch
and riding the lines of battle ,
he never saw nor heard of him
touching liquor , though he has
seen him decline to drink times
without number , This is con
trary to the general impression.

peace abides and love is King ,
to stand under your own vine

their hiding places and play on
the plains of immensity , to have
the world for labor during the
