I The Siamese Army.
An English newspaper, lu an article
on the Siamese army, says: "lu one respect
the Siamese army Is superior to
0113- other, and that Is in Its elephant,
corps. Eight hundred of these animals,
which are stronger, though smaller,
than those of India, are organized into
9 a special corps, commanded by a retired
Anglo-Indian officer, and their
beads. trunks and other vulnerably
parts are protected against bullets by
India rubber armor."

.Vow York Herald's Columns on "All
ICnnobllnir Faith"?Rev. Dr. Tnlmage
Tells About. "The Hnre Arm ol Cod."
With the return of Ilov. Cleorge H. HepWorth
to Now York from tils Armenian mi.s'
slon the Herald closed its series of competitive
sormons, Hfteen altogether having npi
peered in its columns on consecutive Sundays.
Dr. Hepworth resumes his regular
.midany svruion as the leading editorial in
t the Herald's columns. Tbo llrst one is eni
titled "An Ennobling Faith," and appears
j below in full.
Tkxt: "Now fnitli is tho substance of
things hoped for, the evidoncoof things not
seen."?Hebrews, xi., 1.
On a bitterly oolil day I wns roe.ontly rldi
ing with a comrade through one of the
most exquisite bits of scenery ou the face
of tho earth.. We were toiling up tho last
spur oT a mountain so high that the clouds
would have rested ou its summit had there
j been any in the sky. But the heavens were
! cloudless, the sun shone in dazzling splendor
on the snow covered ridges which suri
rounded us on all sides, and we seemed to
1 hnvo loft our little globe behind us and to
be on our way to another world.
Naturally wo talked of that Grout Boj
yond, which was apparently not far distant.
Conversation under such circumstances
, must needs be serious. One cannot bo trivial
when lie is looking 011 the grandest of
( God's great works. It was a time when
I souls were in close relations! to each other;
when inmost thoughts came to tho lips and
! uttered themselves almost unconsciously,
as in soliloquy.
My comrade spoke freely of a loss he had
suffered. A little child had been called
from the family circle, .hud sped away in
tli" night and gone where no human eyes
could follow her. Willi a broken heart, but
still 111 somewhat stoical language, lie referred
to that vacant chair. "Gone! gone!"
was his despairing exelamalion. 1 listened
to tlie story, and at its ciosu quietly remarked:
"S'es, gone, but not gone far! In
the brighter land you will see Iter again."
Then we lapsed into silence, n silence only
broken by the sound of the horses' iron
shoes on the erisu and frozen snow.'
"If I could believe that." be said after n
liltle, "nine-tentlis of the burden would lie
removed. But to feci thai stteii farewells
are forever, that is very hard." and the
strong man trembled with suppressed emotion,
while tears made it impossible to continue
the eoiniiensation.

I thought to myself tint after all this
world is of very little importance unless we
have another world to look forward to.
NVIiat make - the present life endurable is a
firm and unshaken belief in another life.
If love nan die, iiion love is only prolonged
agony: but the eonvidioii that love can
never die strengthens, broadens and ennobles
the SOUl.
It would bean net of u nspeakable eruell y
on tin* part of <Sod to teach us how to love,
to pla-e us amid eireumstanees in which
love develops all ihat is eliivalrous and
grand, and then tell us in the supreme moment
of part ing to say goodby for time mid
eternity. The laird's Prayer would beeome
an impossibility, nay. inore than that, a
grim sort of farm, and in Ids innermost
depths a man would not only rebel, but
lose his self-rospeet and his respoet for the
i laws of the universe. If is elenr that it
would have been so inueh bi'tter to make
him ineapable of alTeetion than to annihilate
t lie objeet of his afTeet ion. and bid him
go home from the ehtirehyard a despairing,
boneless eronture.
Faith eaa do so mtudi for a man. is so
necessary to his spiritual and even to his
physieal well being, that if you take it away
he is in a worse plight than the animals of
the lleldsand forests, for he appreciates his
loss and they do not. To be born a dog and
to die a dog is one thing, but to lie born a
man and t hen die like a dog is something
whieli a just and omnipotent Creator will
not ask of us. It is so unlike what wo
have log-nod of His methods that we are
quite right in pronouneiug such a stalotuenl
libellous.
Your faith in Providence is tin-best of all
your possessions. It is worth more to you
than yoiir fame, your social position or
your wealth worth more than all else
combined. (live me in my relations wit It

Tho vftluo of a grass run for fowls is

the hen eats more grass than the cow,

In some sections, where tho country

would be of great value. Hotter have
grass in the fence corners ami along

The Seaboard Air Idiio Scores Another
Point.
The Seaboard Air Line has. for a loug time,
contended tlint ns it could not get its sleepers
south of Atlanta and north of Washington,
while other lines were allowed this privilege,
itsliould, there ore. Iw a lowed a differential
rate. This matter was taken up recently with
the Southeastern Passenger Association, the
Trunk Line Association and the A-sedation
of Virginia nud the < nroliuas, and the Seaboard
Air Line's claim lor differentials was
allowed.
The tariffs just published by the above associations
show standard rates by all ines between
tile North and South, lis well as the
differentia r>to via the Seaboard Air Line,
which rate is loss than that shown by other
line-. The standatil rate between New York
and At'anta is S'JI; the differential rate via
the Seaboard Air Line is $.'1; the rata* between
Washington anil At lanta is $17..HI, the differential
rati* via the Sea board Air Lino is $14.'0.
This differential applies between all import
intcities in the Southeastern Passenger Association's
territory, the Trunk Association
territory.
The ? "board Air Line now has the matter
upwilh the New Knglund Passenger Association,
looking to the publishing of those different!
I rates in their tariffs. As soon as this is
granted it is understood tnat the Seaboard Air
will then go to tile .Mississippi Pns-onger Association
with a request that they pub is!, iiko
rates from their territory. \\ hen tlris is done
the -ealxinni Air Line will have a differentia*
on all business which it is competitor for, cast
