Although fainting is not common in children, young girls may be subject to such attacks. When one faints, it is owing to a temporary weak action of the heart, so that sufficient blood is not pumped to the brain to maintain consciousness. The face becomes very pale, and the extremities are cold. Usually all that is nacessary is to place the person fiat on the back, which will ease the action of the heart, while gravitatiou aids in restoring the proper ainouui 01 uiuuu 10 me uruiu. .\rvci allow a fainting person to remain in at) upright position, as death has thus resulted from heart failure. Sprinkle a few drops of.cold water upon the face and cautiously holding spirits of hartshorn under the nose wjII aid, by rellex action, in restoring the functions of heart and brain. Cold water should never he poured upon a faining person, aud every thing beyond the first shock is depressing and should hence be avoided. ^ m Where In Yonr Name Writ ton? This Is the most important question of life without doubt: for our preseut condition and our future prospects depend upon the answer given. If our names are written with those who do not acknowledge God, who are not loyal to the person and example and teaching of Jesus Christ, who are living for this world only, who reject the claims of enlightened conscience and revealed truth, then are we in a most miserable and hopeless condition, whether we admit it or not. If, however, our names are in the hook of life with the people of GocLif we really belong to Christ in that vital union indicated by the union of the vine and the branches, and are bearing fruit in our characters and conduct which is the legitmate outcome of such a union, then happy are we, and heavenly hope like a star beckons us onward to ways of pleasantness and paths of peace. So then to be written in the book of life, says Maclaren, is to be included among those who truly live. The great central thought of the New Testament is that the deepest conception of Christ's work for men is that he Is the source of life. "He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son hath not life." In Christ's character of the Lamb?the sacrifice for the sinsof the world, slain for us all?he has made it possible that any name should be wfitten on that page. . DUE WEST COMMENCEMENT. J _ ' o 1.

I Cotton .Seed oil. The South can produce an almost unlimited quantity of this oil, and the question with us is how to get good markets for it. Our 9,000,000-bale crop of cotton means that 4,500,000 tons of cottonseed were produced in the South last year. Cottonseed as it comes from the gin yields by the present methods 15 per cent of its weight of crude oil. The lant years cotton crop was capable, therefore, of yielding 180,000,000 gallons ? r ?: i u :?l~ OS ~?i ?11 1^ (II UII, VVUIUI1 ivt WJ UCULB a gUliOlJ, WUUIU be worth about $45,000,000. If we had markets for all this, oil milte would soon be established to produce it. At the present time we have in the South only adout 400 cotton-oil mills, with a capacity of between 3,000,000 and 3.200,000 tons of cottonseed per annum. Probably we are not pressing out three-fifths of the seed produced each year. Last year's product of crude oll'v is said to. have been something over100,000,000 gallons. Tbe demand for oil iias grown so rapidly in the past years, we must believe that if onlv these restrictions are removed it will continue to increase for sometime to come. The world seems tb want to urfe our cotton oil if it can only get it at our prices. ; : Cottonseeed is now wholly used up in nranofjacture. The product^ made from it, besides the oil, are the cake or meal, used for feeding or as fertilizers; the hulls, used as hay, and the linters, or short cotton, which is used in many ways. , % If last years output of cottonseed had ail been'manufactured, tbe relative vaiue 01 ineee proaoccs wouia nave stood adout as follows : 180,000,000 gallons crude oil, 25 cents ......... $45,000,000 1,8QQ,0Q0 tone of meal at ' $20 4 36,000,000 2,000,006 tons of hulls at $2 4,000,000 i$0r000 bales of linters or > snorwsotton 4,000,'000 5 / Total % $85,000,000 Wig see from thb.that the cottonseed oil laabout one/half of the value of all ^It fchbald -beremembered. too, that so t ton oil contains non e of the elements* which reduce the fertility of the soil, indjtbftfc ha^ing so many oth#r veg* tabjtfollaand animal f^ts in tnlB conntry,'.^e<?n easily space a large part of :hia^i"lbr the-iorelgn trade.

We must put the glory of love, of jest effort, of sacrifice; of^prayer, of upward looking and heavenward reaching, Into the dull routine of our life's every day, and then the most ourdensome and uneventful life will be made splendid with the glory of God. To deliberately incur a'heavy debt without the best possible prospects for discharging it is to mortgage oneielf, soul and bqdy, to lifelong misery ind humiliation.
