God must be kept. If
the laws of nature, of the fam
ily and of the state must be ob
| served, how much more is true
: of the laws of God'.’ Laws that
; are clothed with majesty and
’ power. Laws that stand pre
eminent above all human au
; thority. Angels, principalities
; and powers joyfully bow to His
high behests. God will not
hold him guiltless that trans
gresses his holy law. The sin
ner's sins will surely find him
out, and judgment will overtake
him. Christ is the only refuge
from the broken and dishonored
law of God.
Speaking of law, and the en
forcement of law, I am forced to
say, that our nation, our state,
approaches perfection in the
measure that righteous and
Godly men are given authority
■ and power. Right here in Jack
son county is a judge presiding
over the circuit court, who uses
every means at his command to
give every man, white or black,
rich or poor his full rights be
fore the law. I refer to Judge
Jeffery. Men like Judge Jef
fery are doing much towards
maxing our eartn a Heaven be
low. The negroes of this coun
ty should take advantage of the
privileges they enjoy by living
in a community where such a
good and Godly man rules over
the courts. I repeat, we should
take advantage of such great op
portunity, and live right, be law
abiding, keep out of the courts
unless drawn there for protec
tion, then when you are ma
ligned and unjustly assailed,
Judge Jeffery’s efforts, and his
docket will go a long way toward
helping our cause. I pray for
him a long life, and that yet
greater power may be his as he
ripens in experience.
Examine Strange Personality.

to possess the hide of an elephant,
instead of the ordinary human skin,
and therefore believed to be an ab

strate It to i?e a Fact.
It s-ems incredible that a beam of
light : ould be made to produce sound,
but Mich a thing can be done. A ra>
of sunlight is thrown through a lens ,
on a .’.ass vessel containing lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or any like
substnee. A disk having slits or open
ings cut in it is made to revolve swift- |
ly in this beam of light, so as to “cut
it up," thus causing alternate flashes j
of light and shadow. When one places [
his ear to the glass vessel he hears j
strange sounds so long as the flashing
beam falls upon the vessel.
A still more extraordinary effect la !
produced when the beam of sunlight la I
made to pass through a prism, so as to
produce what is called the solar spec
trum. The disk la turned and the col
ored light of the rainbow is made to
break through It. Now, if the ear he
placed to the vessel containing the silk
or other material, as the colored lights
of the spectrum fall upon it, sounds
will be given by the different parts of
the spectrum and there will be silence
in other parts.
For example, if the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes j
upon it, loud sounds will be heard i
when the red and the blue parts of the
rainbow fall upon 1he vessel. Other
colors produce no sounds at all.
Green silk gives out sound best in a
red light. Every kind of material gives
more or less sound in different colors
and no sound at all in others.—Har

WORLD’S DEBT TO VEGETABLE
Possibly Sun Worship Had Its Origin
in Knowledge of the Fact of
the Dependence.
Vegetable life may worry along
without animals, but animal life can’t
continue without vegetables. There
fore, says an English chemist, man
owes a great debt of gratitude to the
vegetable. He should do his best to
foster it. It is not intimated whe her
this is an argument in favor of the
theories advanced by the vegetarian,
but it is considered ample proof man
would not be here only for the hum
ble vegetable kingdom.
But vegetables, like animate life,
are dependent upon sunlight for their
existence. The vegetable, however,
is both the direct and the indirect
sustenance of animal being. Animal
life of certain species exists solely, or
almost so, on the flesh of other ani
mals. But that latter food eventually
is dependent upon the vegetable.
Time would eradicate animate life
should inanimate cease to exist. The
relations between plant and animal
form a beautiful dispensation. Man
owes to the vegetable more than he
does to lower animal life.
“Thus,” concludes this chemist,
“isn’t it possible the sun worshipers
perhaps had a greater realization of
the value of Old Sol than we of the
present century?"
Livingstone’s Resourcefulness.
David Livingstone, explorer and mis
sionary, was a man of varied accom
plishments. Besides getting himself
taught on board ship, and later by
Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with
great accuracy astronomical observa
tions for fixing latitude and longitude,
besides acquainting himself with bot
any and geology, with patristic litera
ture and Egyptology, Livingstone was
an excellent mechanic, a steersman
and a mariner. His resourcefulness
was at all times remarkable. When
he was hard up for fuel on his first
steamer journey up the River Shire
he landed in the elephant marsh. Here
no trees existed and no fuel was ob
tainable, but his men found many
bones of slaughtered elephants, Liv
ingstone at once took the bones on
board, burned them in the furnaces of
the Ma-robert, and so continued his
journey.
Picture Statesmen at Work.
A moving pictu. concern recently
obtained permission to take a series
of moving pictures illustrating French
parliamentary life. Legislators soon
got to hear of the matter, says Les
Nouvelles, some of them showing
themselves particularly anxious to fig
ure on the film. The taking of the
film lasted several days, and the oper
ator took pictures of the chamber at
all times. Photographs will show the
deserted benches of the morning, with
a dozen or so deputies discussing laws
afTecting the whole of France, the sol
emn arrival of the president, life in
the lobbies, a stormy afternoon ses
sion and the thronged refreshment
bar.
Very Rapid Descent.
At the exhibition of post-impreBsion
lst paintings in New York two Boston
men were standing in front of the
much-talked-of canvas alleged to rep
resent a figure descending the stairs.
‘‘This is the worst yet," cried one.
“Look at it! It is simply a tangled
mass of streaks and splotches.”
, “I think," said the other, after gaz
ing at it a moment, “that the fault
lies in the title, which is not sufllcient
]y explanatory. It should tell us that
it i3 a figure descending the stairs aft
er the careless scrub woman had left j
a cake of soap on the top step."

SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doubt Pre
vents Daughter's Untimely End. |
■
Ready, Ky.—“ I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months," writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to fake
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
