Moffatt of Ersfclne, and Mr. A. D. Kennedy of Due West were Id town Monday. Mr. Kennedy la one of tbe best men In all the world. He Is ever ready to do a little favor lor a brother. He bas on various occasions placed this editor nnder obligations to him, and we love to meet him. "As Iron sbarpeneth Iron, bo dotbtbe countenance of & man's feiend," or words to that effect' President Moflatt Is one of tbe foremost men id ine a. k. f. church, and bis great success as a college-president Is known to all men. He has sagacity, ability, tact, arid convictions which be makes work together In one harmonlous wbole, and be brings success to every good purpose In which he may engageWhile be has not yet placed his virtuous book on Missions as a text book In the Sonday scboolB, and while we doubt veiy much If be even tries to do so, yet be has aoted on a broader and a higher plane than some of Synod's "pension preachers" have done Even If be disapproves of a man's action, Dr Moffatt thinks the .erring brother may be better utilized as a friend than as something else. Again, even if he regards anotber as nothing at all the Doctor knows that it is better to soaot as to oommand the other fellow's respect It may be however that some of the little pension preachers haven't learned that much. The Doctor Is the right man In the right place and the Synods ought to take steps for to pat dining hall and dormitories at his disposal. It hurts a good man's feelings to see applicants for places In the classes compelled to go back home because tbe town or the oollege can not furnish the necessary food and lodgiDg. EAST END.

This class are tbote who tbeu, will do most kicking and grumbling: but tbe sad refrain will oome to them "too lau! too late" wben the cotton la all goue and tbe profits In tbe other fellows pockets. "In unity" there's strength but thlsclass doesn't seem to think tbat way. Every bale of cotton now being sold lendn to depress tbe market, and bring lower prices and 1b a mighty power In tbe bauds of tbeli enemies the "Bears" to keep the farmer dowo but they don't seem totalize this Net. Wby are tbe pledges <uf some; id the "Farmers Unions" like "Pie Crusts"? because tbey are easily broken. in b&ig "tbe band that rocks the o:rdlo, If tbe band that rules tbe world," bat It now seems that "the men who til) tbe soil, are the men who role tbe world," (or could II tbey would) for to day the eyes of tbe whole world are turned to tbe farmers to see tbe stand tbey will take, an to tbe holding, or sell lug of their cotton even tbe spinners of tbe world are holding conference with them, what ? oompromlsi! shall, or will tbe farmers grasp, and bold tbe situation, or turn It over to tbe "bears"? who will keep tbem down, and take from them tbe right of pricing tbelr own products. If tne farmers would only stand together, and heed the warnings of wiser heads whose business It Is to study, and work out this great problem for them, and stick to tbe "baoks of the bulls" tbey will "ride" tbem over all trouble, and place them beyond the reach of the -bears," who would make them slaves to tne speculators. Let tbe "bears' go and pu?b wltb tbe bulls" and you will get 15 cents fur your cotton. All you bave to do Is stand pat on vour pt lc<and you are sure to get it. Friends coming and going.

The appended anecdotal concerning tb late President Robinson are given to t)> public as too charaoteristio and too goo to be lost. They are from the recolleotion of the Rev. Dr. A. J. Sage: ?

R/iVilnonn VliViO ?U VUD WIHWIIWU4 avvw-x.-? *ras expatiating on the importance of careful logical arrangement of thought in discourse, when he drew the following illustration from his own experience: 'Onoe, when I was preaching, a peculiar inoident oocurred. I had gone through my introduction and first division, when my memory failed me. I oould not recall my seoond division, but instead of it came up the first point of the application. After vainly trying to recall the missing head, I stated to the congregation that for a special reaj son I would pass at onoe to the application. I did so, and when I had dlsoussed the first point) the missing part of my dis| course came back to me and I went through it all without further difficulty. On reaching home I set myself down to Inquire the meaning of this inoident, when I discovered that that whloh I bad planned M the first point of my application should have been really the second division of the sermon. The mind in the activity of speaking had been more loyal to its own principles than I had permitted it to be in the toll of preparation.' "The doctor was speaking to the clasa *? **>" lmnn?tannii nt Vnanlno th? mind UU MiO IU4JA/* VMM W o 0 ? free from preoccupying and disturbing thoughts when about to speak extempore. He said: 'I was on my way to preach dm Sunday morning, absorbed in my discourse, when a gentleman met me who said, "Have you heard that is going to marry Miss 1" mentioning two persons in whom I was interested, whow marriage would be particularly unsuitable. The suggestion took possession ol my mind, and in spite of my best efforts I oould not get rid of it. All through my sermon my thoughts were full of the haunting idea of that unfortunate rnlsalllance. My discourse was a failure. Tou may imagine that my feeling toward the source of this ill timed information was not exceedingly amiable. I oould have helped him over a tall fence.'"?New York Examiner. Substitute* Tor Hay. It is not an unusual occurrence that the weather In the spring is so dry that the hay crop is short or an almost total failure. It is strange that some way oannot be devised for irrigating at least a sufficient amount of tillable land to insure tbe farmer a good hay crop, Thore is no ration ihit will take the place of this, and the facilities for making sure of it are any* thing bat satisfactory. it very tanner should set apart a certain portion of his low land for hay. In wet weather he Is likely to have a good crop anyway, and In dry timet a well oared for field of low land will do mnch to bridge over the time between late autumo and early spring, when there is nothing whatever oat of doors for stook to eat. The practice of sowing millet, sorghum, oowpeas or crimson clover late In the season, when the indications are that fall pasture will be poor, and that the bay crop Is altogether unsatisfactory, ie becoming general. Cornstalks may be out as soon as the ears are ripe. The earlier they are cat the more natrltious they are and the more valuable for feeding. As a rule, farmers give too little attention to oornstalks, whloh, when properly oured, are among the most osefal of food products for stock, especially so In the absence of an abundanoe of good hay. Rye makes a good crop, bat shacld never be fed to cows that are giving milk, M it Imparts an unpleasant flavor to the milk and Is by many persons considered unwholesome.?New York Ledger. The Mind and Action. I onoe asked a class of 18 girls to think latently what It would feel like to lift the right hand and touoh the left shoulder. After a few minutes had elapaed nine of them confessed having felt a desire to do, it. I then dropped the sabjeot and spoke of something else. In a few moments six aotnally did it. Most persons when con oentratlDg attention upon tne tnougni 01 what a given movement would feel like, find themselves beooming possessed of a desire to do It, and this desire marks the tendency of the thought to produoethe movement. Bat as we not only fael but also see our movements, we find that the thought of what la movement looka like has also motor value and tends to produoe It. This Is also true of touohes and Ideas of touoh?Indeed all or nearlj all mental states produce some motor changes In the body, but the motor effects of sensations and Ideas of sound, taste and smell are relatively slight.?Professor W.

"Onoe upon a time, when Mme. Alboni as at Trieste," writos Henry?. Lahee in Famous Singers of Today, "N" she wm formed of the existence of a plot to hlM ?r off the stage. Having ascertained tha imea of her detractors and where they ere to be found, she donned male attire, i which her short hair and robust figure ;lpcd to complete her disguise, and went i the cafe at which the conspirators met. ere she found them in full consultation, id taking a seat at a table she listened i their conversation for a time. After while she addressed the leader, saying: I hear that you Intend to play a trick pon some one. I am very fond of a lite practical joke myself and should bs lad if you would allow me to Join you a this occasion." " 'With pleasure,' was the reply. 'We itend to hiss an opera singer off the stage lis evening.' " 'Indeed!. And of what is she guilty?

"'I shall be very glad to do so,'said io singer and put the whistle in her ocket "In the evening the house was packed -every seat was occupied?and the an lence warmly applauded the opening umbers of the opera. In due course Ime. Alboni appeared, and at the point t which she was about to address he* utor a few of the conspirators began to lake a disturbance, not waiting for ths I gnal. "Without showing anyconoem, Mme. Llbonl walked down to the footlights,' nd, holding up the whistle, which wai ,ung to her neck by a ribbon, she exlaimed: 'Gentlemen, art you not a llttl? efore your time?

"For a moment a deathly stillness pr? ailed; then suddenly the house broke ino thunders of applause, which was led by/ heoonspiiators themselves."' A SEAMLESS TUBE. Are Three Oy?ratitu fry Which 'It Mar Be Made. Henry Souther said at a recent meeting f the National Association of Mechanical Engineers that the scientific and technical esignatlon of a tube, whether seamed ci PAmlrem, depended solely upon the tub? tself and not upon the process followed a Its manufacture. Referring to the dielonary you will find that tho word " seam3ss" means without seam, which convey! 10 light upon the subjeot. Turning to the rord"seam," it lsfound that it is defined s a joint, suture, or lice of union and here q the last tetm we find the kty. A tube ointed in any way cannot be seamless. If a the primary stages of its manufacture b be lap, butt or lock jointed, it cannot iy any subsequent operation be deprived f the seam and therefore cannot be oon idered when completed as being seamless. A strictly seamless tube may be made \j any one of three operations?first, a illlet may be by successive steps punched nto the form of a tube with extremely hick sides, and these may then by the orUnary drawing processes be reduced to ubo with thin walls; next, the billet may ie bored or the blank may be cast with a iole in it and in either case then draws o the required dimensions; thirdly, the ube may be made by the cupping prooess, rhlch consists In taking a disk of the aetal, forming It into a cup shape, grad Lolly elongating the cup and reducing it d diameter and finally by this means proLacing a tube.. Each and all of these processes yield a ube /vhich is absolutely seamless and ,bout which there is and can be no dis* lute. In all tubes formed with a scam he edges have first been separated, then mited, either by lap or butt weld or by ome lock joint system, and in these the oLnt cannot be eliminated by any afte* irocesses. The custom houses of thl Jnited States recognize the difference boween a scam and a seamless tube. A eamless tube id one in which the wall! tave never been separated from the tlmi he metal was in a molten condition to the lmo of the completion of the tube.?Iros i-ge. Bponinag toiTicn.
