Out iu Iho Muskoka logging country
a successful minister of the gospel
must comply with a long hst of rc
quiroments. He must not ouly pos
sess more hook aud spiritual knowledge
thai' his parisioners; he mubt know at
least enough about farmiug and log
ging and the tnnbark iuduslry to dis
cuss tbeso matters intolligcutly. Abovo
all, bo must appear to believe that be
knows nothing at all.
1 '.'it when the Muskoka residents do
tako a miuister to their hearts they are
loath to lose sight of him; apt, also,
to " take II out of" tbo man who suc
ceeds him, lightly. Which was the
leason why Archer Qallup'U, the young
man who ussUJRed the spiiitual care of
abo.it iwenty-cnjlit square miles of
territory when 1'rovidenco and the
Bis'op saw lit to reiiovo good o'd
** Father" Andrews to Toronto, won
dered why the Muskoka country peo
ple had been described to him as so
hospitable and warm-hearted and
kindly.
Everything went against tho young
minister from the beginning. Ho was
just "out" from England to commence
with?a delicate younger son 6ent out
to Canada for the sako of the weak
heart which boio testimony to tho
falling health of bis mother's family;
bo bad a positive manner, for a second
disadvantage. For a third, the light
trotter and lighter cart which ho In
sisted upon purchasing, against tho
unanimous advice of his scattered par
ishioners, utterly failed to meet with
the dire disaster predicted for its llrst
encouuter with tho mud of the rainy
seasons; fourthly?but the list is too
long for recounting.
The inevitable happened to the
TOUng minister, of course. lie found
the llrst winter so exhilarating that,
following the usual courso of tho
*? green Englishman," ho declined to
protect himself sulllcicntly, and ac
quired a severe chest trouble, two froz
en ears and a frosted nose, which
gleamed brilliantly all the next sum
mer as a result of bis foolishness; ho I
gloried in the llrst summer, shivered
through tho lirst autumu, aud only
nerved himuclf to face the second win
ter by sheer courage and dreams of
the second spring. lie fell in love
with the belle of the Kipplcville center
and was snubbed aud tormented and
detested by all tho young men of that
locality in consequence. He approach
ed the 11 good-bye seasou," when all
the hardy young fellows go off to "tho
camps" for the wiuter, with a sad heart
and a bitter sense of failure. He was
not invited to attend a single 44good-byo
party," and when he told some of the
prospective campers that he should
probably visit them before Christmas,
siuce be regarded the Mclnuoss log
ging camp, at least, as within bis
spniiual boundaries, they laughed at
him openly.
41 Ride forty miles to visit us 'shanty
men,' " jerred Bill Hnrkncss, brother
of the sweet girl whom the young
minister longed after; " when 1 seo
you I'll expect you, Mr. Gallupin,' an'
not afore!"
Still, the time came when the min
ister proved his pluck aud prowess,
and when, from a logging coup peg to
hung jokes on he was transformed to a
logging camp hero. The mauner of
Ins apotheosis was as follows:
It was the week before Christmas,
and the young minister, making his
Christmas visits to bis parisioncrs, had
travered many miles of hard-packed
snow in tho light cutter which had re
placed tl ? debated cart. He drove up
the 11 side road" to tho Ilarkncss farm
just about noontime. He had promis
ed himself to accept the inevitable
dinner invitation and to get thoroughly
warm. Uuiing the second winter the
unfortunate "greenies" are usually
44 bone cold" perpetually, and Archer
was proving no exception to the rule.
Hut the young minister was not de
stined to warm himself at the Hark
ness Ore that day.
The barnyard was deserted. The
kitchen, jnto which bo presently let
himself, after repealed knockings, w\s
empty as well. From the 14 front
room" opening out of it came a sound
of sobs and troubled feminine voices.
Stretched out on the big bed in the
corner lay Ben Ilarkncss, tho young
est son of tho household, white and
unconscious from the force of tho
wrongly felled tree which bad fallcu
upon him at his work of 'Making out
logs" from the family 44 bark log."
He had dragged himself home, only lo
faint on the threshold. His father
was in Toronto for a day or two, the
older boys up at tho Mclnness camp;
Mrs. Harkness had crawled out of a
sick bed at Nell's summons, and there,
was only tho pretty object of the young
minister's adoration to care for her
mother and brother and to summon
the doctor, somehow.
** I'll get tho doctor," said young
Archer, naturally.
Tbc grateful look which Nell gave
made his heart beat joyously, but it
didn't strengthen the tired horse,
which was presently speeding back to
ward Bracken, as it did tho tired driv
er. Half way to tho village tho young
minister was compelled to ask sheltor
for his horse and go on without him.
He covered most of his intervening
four miles on tho run, and arrived at
Bracken all but exhausted. Yet back
he would go with the doctor. And, on
the wholo, it was woll that he did.
There was a lighting chance for
Ben's rocovcry, so said the doctor,
presently, but Ben didn't think so,
upon recovering consciousness, and he
wanted his father and brothers. The
doctor would telegraph tho elder Hark
ness from the next village, but the
Mclnness camp lay sixty miles out of
the courso ho must follow.
44 Thoro's a very sick woman I must
see, right in tho opposito direction,"
ho told Mrs. Harkness. 441 came here
first becauso she's probably got some
other woman who can do almost as
much as I can with her, and I never
delay over calls like this. But I must
got on to her without delay."
?4 I'll go for tho boys," spoke up the
young minister. 44 It will be moon
light afte* ton o'clock, and if the trail's
deceut we'll have them here by dawn
at the latest. A saddle horse will
make the best time."
And a saddle horse it had to be, any
way, because the only Harkness team
not up at the Mclnness camp for tho
winter was in Bracken, waiting to
brjng Mr. Ilnrkness home whon ho re
turned from Toronto, and all the
neighbors were in similar case?both
for horses and men. So the young
minister saddled the 44 coltic" while
Nell made him a cup of strong" coffee;
he swallowed it, cheered her and was
off?just as tho clock struck four.
Four and a half hours later the. camp
trail beiug fair, and the highway lead
ing to it hard packed and in good con
dition, tho raon at tho Mclnuoss camp
heard a sound of wild shouting. They
turned out of their buuks, out mto tho
night and tho fro/.on darknesB, to Und
tho young minister drooping ovor his
horse outside.
*? Lift me down carefully, please,
raon," ho said?aud thcro was a new
riug to his voico which slit rod thoir
blood strangely. 14 Tho horso fell with
me, a while back, and I'm afraid my
right leg's brokon. .1 had a lot of
trouble getting back to the saddle
again."
Then ho fainted, and tho broken log
was set and splinted in rough but ef
fective cump fax'nou beforo ho came
to. A circlo ot admiring faces sur
rounded his improvised couch when
his eyes opened, aud liig Eider, ihe
camp talker, was pcrtoiming a sort of
ecstatic war danco in the coruor.
" 13roko his leg and got on again I
Hid with tho broken leg hanging I Jim
mikins, but bo's grit!"
So chantud Rig Kl lor, ovor and over,
until tho young minister sobered him
with tho announcement ho had como
to make. And then llig Kldor's groat,
tendor arms around him, young Arch
er was homo to tho rude sled which
McIuucbs himself had made ready, aud
driven, m fur-oneirclod luxury, back
to the Ilarkncss farm.
" He'll go homo with us," tho
Darkness boys had decided, summarily,
when somebody hinted that his own
lodgings at Bracken wore no irer; "tho
extra eight miles won't hurt him, see
ing how far bo's got to go i.nyway, an'
wo cau look after him better'n tho ho
tel people."
44 He?he rid up here with a broken
leg to toll us 'bout Ben," (hushed Bill
Harkiies8, who had always despised tho
young minister. 441 reekou wc owo
him something for that."
And they paid him, paid him in full
and with splendid interest, long biforo
Bon was about again, or beforo tho
now logging camp hero had recovered
from tho fover and weakness which
followed that awful ride in tho bitter
cold, and with but a cup of hot coffeo
to stay tho day's hunger aud exhaus
tion. For thoy, with every man in tho
whole country-side, gavo him their
fullest respect and admiration from
that moment, and the Harkuess boys
aud their father, to heap up the good
measure of their bargain, cousento I to
give him?Noll.

Atlanta Constitution.
I believe tho millennium craze has
subsided for awhile. Within my re
collection it bobbed up three or four
times and excited good people all over
tho country, for good people wish it to
come and live in hope and expectation.
1 remember when \Villiam Millor, of
I Massachusetts, had all Now England
excited, for ho was a very learned man
and a sincere Christian and behoved
i all that ho professed. For ten years
ho exhorted tho people to bo ready for
' tbo coming of Christ in 184.1, and even
lixed tho day when they would sec
Him descending from heaven in mag
I ntllcent glory and ceeoitcd by Moses
, and Elijah and a retinue of angols.
: Ho had over 00,000 devoted converts
and the night liefere the promised day
, tbey arrayed themselves in white
' ratmant aud sang aud shouted and
, prayed until morning, and thcu climbed
the high hills and the tree tops and tbo
I spires of the churches to meet Him as
, He ucared the earth. But He dident
come and it uearly broke their hearts
and they liked to have perished to
death, lor they had given away all
I their earthly possessions.
Next came Dr. .lohn Cummings, a
, very learned minister of London, who
wrote a book on it aud lixed th 5 mil
lennial year at 18(13. Wo were light
ing over hero about that timo and tho
millennium hrd to be postponed. The
millennium means the reign of Christ
upon the earth for a thousand years,
when everybody will be good and there
shall bo no more death nor pain nor
sorrow, aud there has not been a cen
tury since His crucifixion that tho re
ligious people have not been looking
for His coming. The Christians got
their belief from the prophecies of
Daniel and from St. John and St. Peter
and later on from Ircnaeus and Justin
Martyr and thoy delighted themselves
with dreams of glory that was near at
hand. Somo of them declared there
would be no more winters, no more
nights and everlasting wells would run
with honey and milk and wine. Jeru
salem would be rebuilt and the fruits
of tho earth would he colossal and
never dying. One notable writer said
that every grape vine would have 10,
000 branches and every branch 10,000
shoots and evety shoot 10,000 bunches
and every bunch 10,000 grapes and
every grapo would make 25 gallons of
wino. Good gracious I how thirsty that
fellow must have boen. But tho mil
lennium dident como and by and by
"I did not sleep a
night for seven long
weeks." i
That prolonged period of sleepless-'
nero is most expressive of the pain and
suffering caused by womanly diseases.
It in pleasant to con
trast the medical in
efficiency which said
"I could not be
cured" with the
prompt and perman
ent cure effected by
the use of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This
great medicine for
women establishes
regularity, dries en
feebling drains, heals
inflammation and Ol?
Ccrution and cures
female weakness.

until It resulted in ulcers
of the uterus. I was

I did not steep a night

The doctors said 1 coutd

and ' Pleasant Pellets.' After taking two bottles
I could sleep all night, and after taking six
bottles of ' Favorite Prescription1 and two of
'Golden Medical Discovery'and three vials of
'Plcannnt Pellets' any case was cured. I had

J. C. AY KU CO., Lowoll, Mass.
Origcn, a very wise aud good niau,
camo along in Iho third contury and
declared that there would be no such
grapes, but that Christ's coming would
bo altogether spiritual. Still Iiis com
ing kept on being predicted aud when
tho reformation of Luther aud Calvin
camo about thoy said that tho popo
was the anti-Christ and millennium
was near at hand. Next came Oliver
Cromwol', who cxcilod his followers
with a prediction of tho millennium?
and so it goes on and on and now it is
about timo for another just aa soon as
we havo done killiug of! the Philip
pines and England has killed out all
the Boers.
Well, now all tbeso ruminations
about tho millennium were provoked
by what 1 havo been reading about
tho recont discoveries of oil all over
tho country. One thought brings on
auolher aud if the coming of Christ is
near at baud and His reign is to bo a
spiritual one for a thousand years and
thero is to be no wintor or night or
sickness or pain or sorrow wo won't
need all this oil, neither for fuel or
light. And so 1 don't believe tho mil
lennium is very near. If all tho peo
ple are to bo converted and become
good it will be a long timo off, for it
is a slow process aud all the coal aud
oil that is in the bowels of the earth
will bo noeded. It waaont put there
for nothiug.
Missionary work is going on moro
rapidly than ever beforo, but it is like
a drop in a bucket of water. Wo have
got 20,000 missionaries in heathen
lands aud they ato aided by 80,000
native preachers and teachers, but
these 100,000 will have to convert %n
average for each of ten a year to mako
a million, and there are over a thous
and millions of heatheus now and
moro coming on. Hut they do not
convert half a million a year, for the
last report gives only 4,000,000 all
told. Last year wo spent #20,000,000
I on them and have now over 1,000,000
I children goiug to Christian schools
and havo 2.*1,000 churches and over
1,000 secondary schools besides medi
cal colleges aud training schools and
hospitals and asylums for orphans and
the blind and tho insane and tho lepers.
Thoy have got almost everything that
wo have got and now have protection
in Constantinople and Pekin and
Beirut aud other great heathen ccntors.
The work thoy have doue in the last
ten years is amazing and the abduc
tion of Miss Stone has increased their
zeal.
Tbiity million dollars havo beon
promised for this year and they say
i that if we cannot convert them we caa
1 at least civilize them and teach them
the doctrine oi a clean shirt aud a com
fortable homo, and these are the first
lessons in religion. Tho last official
report tells us that moie than half the
pupils are girls. For tc iturics women
and girls have been under tho ban and
wero of no moro consequence in tho
household than dogs or beasts of bur
den, but now they are being lifted up
and treated with humanity and lcspect.
If tho work of our missionaries ac
complished no other good but tho re
scuing of woman from tho degradation
of ages it is worth ten times its cost.
Cost! what is the cost but the surplus
of our wealth, and that surplus is not
ours, but Hod's. Libraries and col
leges are good things to build up and
foster, but how much do millionaires
give to the cause af missions ? Most
of this charity, we are told, camo from
those who are not worth one-tenth of
a million.
It is a lament ill)le fact that the more
a man has the more he wants and the
less he gives away in proportion to his
wealth. Tho parable of Dives and
Lazarus was intended to alarm the
rich aud selllnh, but most of them say
give me a little more money and I will
take the risk of losing heaven. Paul
said to Timothy: "Gain is not godli
ness, but godliness with contentment
is great gain. We brought nothing
into this world, anu it is certain wo
can carry nothing out and they who
would be rich fall into temptation and
into foolish and hutful lusts that cast
men into perdition. The love of
money is the root of all evil." There
is a sermon to live by, but it is hard
to do. Somehow I cau't help wishing
I had a little moro than I have got?
not for myse'f, but my wife would like
a carriage and horses and ride around
and take the grand children, and she
would like to have some money of her
own to give away and buy little pre
sents without asking me every now
aud then for a dollar or two. She does
hate to do that, and I don't let her
when I have auy to spare.

How the Farmers Can Save Money
To tho Kditor of The Advertiser:
The following communication issued
by the Assistant Agriculturist of Clem
son Agricultural college is of so much
value to the fanners of this State on ac
count of tho present high price of all
feed products for farm animals and
stock, that I havo determined to get you
to publish this as an advertisement for
which our company will bear tho ex
pense.
As soino of the products mado up in
tho ration as mado by Mr. Connor may
not bo available to various planters, I
suggest that any planter writo to Mr.
Connor and state what food products
arc available to him, both rough forago
and concentrated food, and Mr. Connor
will tako plcasuie in making up a ration
to suit his needs as ho has done in this
instance.

Cheep Rations for Horses and
Mules.
Yours trul
To the Kditor of Tho Advertiser:
Farmers from various scctiouB of the
Stato havo been writing asking about
tho advisability of feeding horses and
mules on cotton seed meal and hulls and
also asking for a cheapor ration thau
corn.
Tho following prices are given in a
letter from Scranton, 8. C : Corn, $10
per ton; oats, $15 per ton: wheat bran,
$25 per ton; cotton seed meal, $25 per
ton; rlco meal, $22 per ton. Of course
corn and oats are out of the question as
a food for horses and mulcB at the above
prices so something cheaper must be
looked for.
Tho analysis shows that rice meal has
about the aamo composition as corn meal
and we havo found that it is just as good
for feeding pigs. Wo have fed it to
horses with good results. I think wo
arc safo in saying that it may bo used in
placo of corn pound for pound.
If no hay or fodder is used in tho
ration and hulls aro resorted to as rough
ness somo nitrogenous food such as bran
or cotton Bcod meal must bo used to
supply protein. Hulls may be fed with
out any further fear of injury to the ani
mal. Should they refuse to eat tho hulls
a little corn meal or bran sprinkled over
tho surface will tempt them.
A good cheap ration may bo made up
as follows:
Six pounds of rico costing ?.0 cents;
four pounds of whoat bran costing 6 0
cents; two pounds of cotton seed meal,
costing 2 5 conts ; ten pounds of cotton
Bcud hulls, costing 8 0 cents ; total cost
of ration per day 17.1.
Tho abovo is for a horso or mulo of
1,000 pounds in live wcght.
It is ovidont that a ration made up of
corn and foddor and containing the same
amount of digestiblo matter as the above
ration would cost much moro than the
abovo.
Tho North Carolina experiment station
has fed cotton seed meal and hulls to
horses with good results, but tho cxpori
monts along this line havo not been ox
tonsivo enough to say that cotton seed
moal can bo fod in unlimited quantities
for any length of timo without injury to
tho animal.
Numbers of farmers, however, havo
reported that thoy havo fod cotton seed
moal to mulca and horses with good
results
