On Wednesday, the twenty-third session of the Cous'titutioaal Conven tioin wrangled over three hours on - several small amendments of several sections of the legislative articles rela tintg to the abolishing of sp)ecial legis lation for t he incorp)orationt of cities, a section p)rovi tmg that the Legisla ture 4ihould, in che year 1898, submit to the people the question of holding a constitutional convention and like wvise everv twentieth year thereafter, allowxing a majority vote to call the convention. It was voted down by a vote of e~. to 17. Before the rececss, the co.nvention adopted a section p ro hibiting the inter-marriage of a white person having any negro blood what ever. The matter wai re-opened and Jug razer offered to further amend by adding the words ''to maintain the status of many families in this State tainted with negr" blood." Some strong speeches we::e made and finally the sectioni with the amendment was recommnitted to the committee. George D.

ROAD TO HAVE A SINGLE RAIL;I Novel Project for a Line on the Canadian Border. William E. Seetley, a reidznt of Brainerd, Minn..but now in the Painy Lake gold cour: try. has in proc^ss of completion a projel to build a railroad from Tower is Rainy L-Vke City. on the Canalian border. ovar a route 1'hich an or;llnary railroad could sear elv be ran. But the ro& planned by 'Mr. Seeley will not be anu orlinary one in any s-nse oj the word, and his plans and sreoiications are a1readv attracting consid erable attention from railroad men and ma chini st. oener -liv. The track of Mr. Seeley's road will rvnsist of a sincle rail instead of two, and the pa pers of the Wc;t are alrealy referrin- to it as the on-olege : road. The areat advan taie clairnpd for this road is its cheay)ness, it costinz Jess than one-half as much as a re, ular double track, standard gauce road to constrar-t and operate. A row of piling is driven. and the sincle rail is laid on too of thiA pilinz, seven or eight feet from the aroin i. The ears are to be constructed'so that th, 1loor is about fIve feet below the i-eel i the rail, and each side of the Cars wili 10 loadcd as nearly equally as nossibly, so that the veh!cle will ride easily and smoovtHv. Tha the cars cannot be unset will be sesn at a a ance, as the wight In the'a will be br.ow i ie rail. The piles are to be set ten or twel A fet anart, and will be eanpe-l vith hresvy w ,o1n hPans. upon whIch the sinzle rail will .-st. It is claimed by Mr. Seel-y that such - road has already been operate-d succesefull.: d that he has demonstrated bv modeis that -he plan will be a success in this oase.

I-NE Christlan5 cut of ten work and praytoolittle. - The Christian who dces not walk by fu!th will have many falls. Don't work too late at night to get alone with God early in the morning. Only that Is well which ends well. When love works, It always does Its best. The wisest men have never in any age been the best men. Everything we do will be great when it is what God wants done. Before Jesus offered rest to men, ne showed that he had rest to give. Christ went without sleep to pray, but he never lost any sleep in worry. Saul. the suL of Kis-h, was a big mulo driver, but he made a very small king. The man who talks to the biggest crowd is not always doing the most for God. The man who begins by trying to deceive God, will end by deceiving him self. Numbers weighed nothing with Christ. His concern was for the indi vidual. The devil would never get another soul if he couldn't make black look white. Making an idol of 'Christian work is no better than making an idol of Che mlosch. The first man fell whn he was tempt ed. because he didn't have the help of Christ. Little duties are the greatest duties. when they are the ones God chooses for us. When the preacher knows his Bible well, he won't have to pound It to keep people awake. Telling a child the story of Jesus may be a greater thing than building a church steeple. No matter where Christ went into a synagogue, he found that the devils had got there first. The man who talks to the biggest crowd Is not always being watebed the closest by the angels. Planting a grain of mustard seed may be more far-reaching in its results than finding the north pole. There are little duties that must not be neglected, no niatter how much great ones may seem to press upon us. If God gives us a good deal to do, it means that he will also give us a good deal of grace with which to do it. If putting on our plug hats would only make us 'all as big as we want to be, the world would be full of giants. The teacher of the infant class in a small Sabbath school has a bigger au dience than the chaplain of Sing Sing prison. When a preaecr spends more time in preaching than he does in praying, he is not doing God's work as he wants, it done. -: It is hard to find a mnan who will preach the same gospel on a salary of five thousand a year that he did on five hundred. The difference between a wise roan and a fool is tbat the wise man knows that he knows little and the fool thinks he knows much. Praying on the run maay be better than not praying at all, hut the deep things of God are only for those who will take time to hear them. No man ever made Christ welcome toI the highest seat In his heart withoutI being himself established in a higher place than he before occupied. Sanm Jones says that what some mn call nastoral work is littlc more than~ taking care of a plug hat and looking after a minIsterial reputation. When we sp)end so much time in be ing religious at c-amp meeting that we have nto time or inclination to pr-ay In secret, we are not religious enough. Touching the heart of a child with God's truth may start more miachinery than the President set in mo~ti'n by touching the button at the World's Fair. Nowhere in the Bible are we corn manded to praise God with the tongues of angels and of men, but we arcevr rywhiere required to love him with the whole heart. Joke on Palmer. Senator Palmer tells a story ab~out an llinois farmer who for several y.ears iad been selling him wood for sIx dol ars a cord. "This year," says Senato Palmer. "he came to nie with a load, and I told him that I did not want it. He offered it at $2 a cord. I still re fused, and he wanted to know why I oul not take it at $2. I told him I as using soft coal, for which I paid ne dollar and thirty-seven cents a ton.I Gosl' he exclaimed, 'I heard you vas rying to demonetize silver, and now ou are trying to def'uelize wood.' Toole's Little Joke. Toole, the English actor, sitting at a able nest to a gentleman who had elped himself to a very large piece of read, took it up and began to cut a slice rom it.

Unique Daily LAre of tbe Tnfant HeIr to Great Britain's Throne. T.e greatest baby in the world is now about one year old. The name of this baby is Edward. He is Hi.i Royal Highness the Princ, Edward of York, heir to the tbrone of an empire on wbich the sun never sets, and he is now cutting his teeth. His Royal HighiLess lives either at York House, St. James, London, or at White Lodge, seat of the Tecks. A description of his personal appearance is now on file in the royal archives of the Tower of London, and he has been photographed 109 times. These de tails are not trifles. They are a part of the history of the British Empire. The Prince has blue eyes. His hair is not scanty by any meanf, and. he is ratber fat, as will be seen from the ac companyin,; picture of hin, which is the one hundred and ninth of Eis Royal Highness, and the very latest. He has a nursery of the most severely plain character, and, althonh his little life is one long uninterrupted ceremony, etiquet,e requires that the plainest of baby accessories shall sur round him. He is under the ttelago of one Mine. Buika, whom allEngland knows as the confidential companion of the Princess May before her mar r:age. This Mle. Buika has natur4lly an enormous responsibility, His Royal Highness is already a General, a Colonel, a High Sneriff and a patron. He is a Keeper of the Seals and an Imperial Usher. He is already entitled to put L. C. M. J., C. I. S. I. and ever so many other letters after his name, and he is a memoer of the House of Lords.' When the baby awakes in the morn ing he holds a levee. Tne royal code says so. His aiganess will be attend ed by the lady in waiting, who takes his comnands. This means that she will wash and dress him. H e must never have anything u him that is red-anything, that is, in the shape of clothing. His attire inusi be invaria bly white. This is btoause he is a Prince of York, and thc-r3 is a royal rule connected wit!h the Wars of the Roses that forbids his assumption of tne red until he is five years old. He may not wear black shoes until he is three, and in public a sash must in variably be around his waist. Under no circumstances ishe to be addressed, even playfully, by anyone except his par-ents. Qaeen Victor.a herself is not at liberty to say "yon" to him. It must always be "His Highness seems well," or "His Highness sleeps." In fact, it is His Highness this and His Hi!zhness that all the time.. - Only a blood relative may hold him in ber arms, with the exceptioa of Mile. Bnika, who has received a royal patent 'or the purpose. Even the pbysician who attends him must re ceive a royal patent before beginnin; to physic this babe. Every article of. attire he wears must bear the royal arms worked by hand in silk, and te may not wear the same article twice in succession. It mut be washed be fore it goes on again.

These last are the leaf-cutting ants, so-called. They live in tropical America, and are very destructive. They have been known to ruin whole plantations of orange and lemon trees. They cut circular pieces out of the leaves and carry them off to their monnds. - What they do with them wns log a question. but Miller, who studied these ante in Brazil, and Belt. who studied them in Nicaragua, havs ascertained that the leaves are not used for fvod, but as manure on.which to grow a minuti species of fungus. in other word;, these leaf-cutting ant cuitivate mushrooms. They are described as taking the ut most pains to keep the mounds neither too dry ror too damp. Sometimes the inexperiececd bring in grass and unsuitable leaves, but these are in- - variably carried out and throw away. When th chami>ers get filled with leaves that have ben. exhaus.e. as :.-tilizers, new chambers are built and fresh leaves are gathered. COWS WlTH AN EAR FOR MUSIC. An Elulish writer has publishe somec curious observations on the effects of Inusical sounds ou amimals. A few of those relatia-g t0) oveU and cows will boof interest. "Opposite to our house was a large fleld in which twelve cows were put during the summer months. One day a Germau b ind began to play on the road which divided the house from the field. ''The cows were quietly grazing at the other end1 of the field, but no sooner did they hear the music -than they at once advanced toward it and stood with their heads over the wai attentively listening. "This might have passed uunoticed. but, upon the musicians going away, the animals followed themi as well as they could on the other side of the wall, and, when they could get no fur ther, stood lowing piteously. So excited did the cows become that some of them ran round the fieldi to try and get out; but tinding no outlet, returned to the same corner where they had lost sight of the band, and it was some time before they seemed satisfied that the sweet sounds were really gone. "I have often noticed the power music has over oxen. The other dlay we had a brass band playing in our garden. In a field adjoinging were four uxenl. "When the baud struck iin th1er were at the far end of a nine-acre teld, quite out of sight, the field being very uneven. They set of full trot to the garden wall, put th'eir necks over and remained so till the tuHe was finished, when they went back to graze ; but, as soon as the music struck up again they came and put their heads once more over the wall This went ou ti the band left, after which they ate little all day and were continually lowing. "There are many anecdotes that s1mo w that the ox or cow has a musical ear. The carts in C'orunna, in Spain, make so loud and disagreeable a creaking noise with their wheels. for the want of ol, that the governor onc2 issued an order to have the wheels grpaa . ut the carteas petitioned Lhat this might not be deoe. at the oxIn -liked the sound and w ould not dNrw so well without their accustomed music-.
