I Religions Enterprise. , Postal cards, invoking the prayers of religiously and d'evoatly lnollned women In behalfof foreign missionaries, are being c?roalated Id Abbeville. Tbe plan seems to be for each one who receives a card to write a similar card to ten other persons, requesting that each of the ten write to ten others, very mach, a* we believe, after tbe plan wblob was adopted for Increasing tbe circulation of a Florida newipaper, the plan belDg not enUrely dlflerent from tne North Carolina achtfme of selling cherry trees. II > WliaiDUQlBUiiBce, uuwover, iuo riuuui L newspaper scheme and the Nortb Carolina [f plan of selling cherry trees were to make money for tbe Individuals. Tbe plan of V - wblob we liow speak is meant for. Christians lto Join in a petition to tbe tbrone of Grace (or tbe Increase of tbelr zeal or energy In gjf advancing tbe Redeemer's kingdom In foralgn lands. ^ It Is rigbt an d proper to pray for the missionaries. Some of tbem no doabt need our prayers, and It Is a matter of congratulation that tbey are not neglected. Tbe subject of missions Is comprehensive v and lnclndes varions enterprises. For lnU stance: Devout Christians in this part of^tbe ' world_ are much interested In sendsr g tbe Roapelto China, to India, and to Mexico. In tbe Northern or Eastern part of tbe United States Christians and philanthropists are ending thousands and thousands of dollars, and employing a multitude of teachers and' , preachers to educaite and Cbristlanlz e the negro at onr very doors, bnt for whose moral and spiritual welfare we seem to be very Intl different. On a dead level we are Inclined to believe - 'that i Hin Is as good as a Chinaman, and ' v we fall to be Impressed with any Idea tbat an Indian or a negro, or a Mexican balf breed, 1b any better than a Cblnaman. For religions people and tor philanthropists there Is a glamour about helping far off i 1 people. Men who seldom give a dollar and ery' rarely give a kind word to the strug* gllng neighbor, are sometimes extremely > liberal when the subjeot of foreign missions ;V Is mentioned. They do this, too, when It Is possible that some poor neighbor's child, with a pnre heart and,a good mind, Is denied the benefits of a Christian education The best missionaries are good men and good women, who have been educated, and their best field is at bcyne with their own kind of * people. Instead of Imbuing our educated you!bg women with any idea tbat the people at their own home should be deprived of their presence, their elevating Influence, and their Christian example, they should be Impressed with the higher, the nobler and the belter Ufa which they would live as some good man's wife. The example, the teachings and the labors of a good mother at home Is beyond computation. The hlgbesi estate to whloh any woman can reaoh Is to be the mother of a good boy or a pare girl. Does it then advance the cause of the Re i> deemer, to send a good woman to missionary fields In foreign lands ? Is not her first duly to her native land, and to her own prople ? The gospel Is spread by praotlo.%1 methods, Christian civilisation 1b gained by praotlcal methods, the sool's very salvation Is won by practical methods. Are we then making the best use of oar " money In sending our go jd people abroad as f missionaries while our streets and our by ways are filled by people who seldom enter the doors ol a church ? If such people are perverse of heart and desperately wicked should they be left neglected in their waywardness? We insist mat their souls are of as muob value as the souls of those strangers beyond the sea. , V. It may be that their absenoe from divine ^ service is due to a lack of Interest In tbe servloe. II ihe service Is made attractive do L you not believe tbat tbey will be tbere T k What is theology worth to tbe average man V or what does tbe average man care about tbe ology? Nearly all of us have euougb orthodox theology to save our soul*, but a great many of us bave not enough personal Integrity to buy a coat on a credit. We need a re liglon of prlnolple. We need a religion, sucb \ as oar Baviour taught. But wbat do we know about theology ? Or what do we rare about It? We need to bave the character and tbe qualities impressed upon us which were exemplified by our HavtOur. Tbe Christian religion is intended primarily to govern our dally lives on eartb. And we should so conduct ourselves ibat we may lie down at tne last, trubllng in tbe mercy and tb^ goouneas ot the.lUreat Judge. The exerclse-of tbe faith itiit Is founded on the consciousness of duty honestly performed is tbe assurance that tbe pure heart Is always an acceptable offering at the throne of Urace. We need lessons in principle more than Instruction In apeou alive theology. We know that tbe reader Is ready to quote from scripture about going Into dark places 'V with the light of tbe gospel, and we would L. ' admit tbat be can quote reports of foreign [ missionaries as to tbe glorious results of their labors. We would detract nothing from tbe lustre of tbelr work. We would pluok no J diadem from tbelr crown. To tbelr eyes tbe facts, tbe condllions, and tbe circumstanced -j. are faithfully portrayed.

Co-operation is one of 'be most es sential forms of demonstrating the ad vancement aud degree of civilizatioi that auy community auy city, stati or nation has attained. Co-operation ha9 not always bene fitted those who have co-operated to gether, because of tbeir lack of know ledge of th? Importance of co-operativi principles of cooperation have beet misapplied. Tbe cunning and selflsl have utilzed the principle for sellist ends aud used it as a means of exploit lng the co-operators and garnerim; t< themselves a goodly portion of tb* wealth resulting from tbe labor o those who co-operate; in fact they ex ploit and absorb all tbe increased earn ings produced by co operative effort It Is claimed that civilized men am women are the only animals or being that are able to i crease tbeir Individ ual product by co-operating or work iug jointly together. The joint pro duct of animals does not exceed tbi proportional Bum that one auima rtnniH nrminrw workinc seneratelv that the only exception to thin rule Y civilized human beings. It has beei demonstrated for ages that two or mor persons working together co-opera lively can produce more than the sami number could produce working in dividually and seperately.

For instance, if A and B could each produce $1 worth o wealth per day working seperately their combined earnings would be $ per day. Theu' let there* co-operat and combine their effort in au intelii gent manner and they produce, bay $ perdaj; just double their earning while working seperately. They fln< their work is easier and they do no have to work any more hours. Th selfish commercial exploiter her comes in and " touches " both of th men for the amount of the increase claiming it as his share as employer The teaching of capitalism orspoliutioi is so general and common that wealtl producers have generously submitted to the tferme of the selfish exploiter for years and years. True co-opei ation abhorbs any system that permit any individuals to take from the pre ducer any portion of his product with nut first rendering him its equivalent (Society is divided into two classes un der our commercial system: Tbe laboriug aud producing clasi who produce ail wealth aud own bu little of it. ' The exploiting class who produc nothing but have succeeded in rob bing tbe producing class of a portio, of their earnings and now this smal per cent of gratters and bucaneers owi nearly all tbe wealth that bas bee produced by honest toil.

'1 Some Points About Rofcd tldilM A?4 Their Use. ?'$ Every road Is made smoother and harder by rolling, and dirt roads an do exception to this rule, says Isaac B. Potter. We have all noticed that the . * hardest and smoothest parts of a country road are the narrow strip* which mark the passage of the wagon wheels that have gone over it, and these parts have become hard and smooth because the wheels have acted as rollers. Beit a wagon wheel Is not always a very satisfactory roller, for the reason that the wheel tires are too narrow, and when the road Is wet and soft the narrow wheels sink into the surface and form ruts and cut and mix and mangle the dirt out of all reason and destroy the good qualities of the roadway. If all] the wagons used on country roads 1 could be provided with tires four inches j wiiio thor wnnlrt mil the snrface mart i smoothly and more quickly, and It would be in (airly good condition for nearly the whole, year nran'd. A good horse roller will serve much to cure this difficulty, and such a toilet IoBbhib OLLI^G WITH WIDE TIKES. can be bought for from $80 to $100 per, ton. A. roller weighlng'&boutflve ton* Is about thei proper thing.' Steam rollers are becoming more generally used ' from year to year in oar cities and towns, and there axe many 'places where they can be osed to advantage in consolidating the earth roads of the suburb8. They are generally more'ef> fectlve in their work and if kept busy * * ~*? are vastly cheaper to operate, rue/ weigh from seven or eight tons'upward. the ten and twelve ton sizes being perhaps the most popular. . Rolling. should follow closely'ta$an the work of the road grader or scraper so as to consolidate all the lobse earth which the action, of the scraper has laid In the line of the roadway. The roller should pass many timesover the softer portions of the road, and 'where the road Is very dry and not Inclined to pack It may be slightly moistened to hasten-the action of the roller. The rolling shonld begin at the aides of the road and work gradually toward the center?that la, the roller shonld be passed from end to aid along the aide of the road, and then the second passage of the roller should slightly lap $e first until the center of the road is reached. j ? FAVOR OILED ROAD8. .) The Use ot Petroleum oa Highways to Lay the Dntt. ^ The use of 611 on highways Is steadtly Increasing In . favor. Io Moline, ILL, oil has been tried In place of water ' ' ^ as a remedy for dost, and the results have been satisfactory. Bourbon, Ind., Is considering the Idea of sprinkling the streets with olL The dust problem there Is a very serious one during the / summer months, for there are no grav- , ' lyi'V el beds from which to construct rpata/ The towns of California, which have been doing more In this line than those ' f of any other state, 'are testifying to the great benefits derived from oil on the highways, by'the continued use they are making of this means of laying the dust, says the New York Tribune, The boasd of supervisors- of Sacramento are greatly in favor of oiled roads. Three hundred or 850 barrels of oil a ,) mile are at times necessary for the permanent packing of a sand road, but in many cases only 150 barrels need be 'immI' i ' jv i j The roads of California are In most cases of sand, and tbe great benefits derived from the consolidating of this sand with the oil is continually testi- ,'i fled to by those in charge of the highways. Not only is the oil a better dost layer and a more permanent one, bnt It Is also more economical than water, inasmuch as the roads need to be ailed but once or twice a year, while sprtn- > kllng with water must be done every; little while. Cilni Straw to Improve Roads. ' ^ The farmers of Walla Walla county. Wash., are trying the experiment of > ^ laying their roads with straw to Improve them, says the New lork Trib- ( une. Every fall tbe bignways Become deep with dust, making traveling hard j on man and beast Heavy raina meant J mad, and the dost could not be re- M moved without destroying tbe. roadway. It then occurred to an enterprl* Ing individual that If all of the farmers jH would contribute straw and all hand* , assist in laying It on tbe roads most ?9H traveled there would be a great change afl for tbe better. The experiment waft a decided success. Tbe farmers turned out Id force, plenty of straw was offered, ready hands laid It to the death of a foot or more on tbe main thoroughfares of the couuty, and traveling became easy. Three hundred miles of roads will be covered with straw this fl Goo# Roadi !
