companies that are build ing new lines find it a serious questionI Tbe new depot at Nortonvilla is fast nearing completion and is Indeed a model building of the kind and one badly needed at that point Dr W P Ross of Madisonville came out Tuesday morning to consult with Dr E A Cbatlen in tbe case of Brakeman Carr Both are surgeons for the L t N officials of that road did everything hat possibly could be done but tbe man was beyond aid Now there remains but to prosecute and punish the guilty party and strenuous efforts will be put forth by tbe friends of the dead roan and by tbe officials of the railroad to avenge the death by legal process DOWN IN THE MINES It is DOW urged by some unscrupulous agitator that miners be allowed to take charge of tbe scales and weigh their own coal regardless of the wishes of tbe operator A check weigbman that they so long clamored for fails to satisfy them We are informed that never before in the history of the St Bernard Coal Company have they been so crowded with orders at this season of the year as to necessitate the working of five quarters each day as was the case last week and to tbe praise of the miners it can be said they proved themselves equal to the occasion Weigher James Fegan feels proud of tbe No o record made last week which aver aged about 16000 bushels per day The No I 1 men showed up In fine shape last week anti made a fine record When called upon for extra labor they can be de pended upon Mr Tbos Blair has been permanently located as weigher at No tI mines and a belter selection could not well be made Kansas is suffering a dearth of coal Railroads confiscate much that is shipped and are so busy carrying grain that coal deliveries are slow Tbe forthcoming report of the West Virginia mine inspector for tbe year end Ing June 30 1898 will show that tbe total production of coal for tbe year amounted to more than 14000000 tons an increase of nearly 3000000 tons over the year before In Fayette alone the increase was wore than 1000000 tons over the preced ing year and the output was increased in every county in tbe state except Mineral Mason and Putnam In Marion too In crease was about 200 tons Tbe general increase was due largely to tbe steady trade during the summer Bradstreets There were more than 13000000 tons of coke produced in the United States in 1497 Of this amount Kentucky made 32 117 tons most all of which was math in Earllngton Tbe average decline la price of all the coke as compared with the prod uct of 1896 was seventeen cents a ton Only a small percentage of the 230 267 workmen who struck for higher wages In 1897 in Great Brillan carried their point only about ao per cent A writer for the U M W Journal who lives at Island Ky uses this strong lan guage in regard to what be terms scab labor I have just received a letter from Bro McCarly at Spotlsvllle Ky He tells me that they are still on a strike at Spoils ville anti says tbe company is working tbe mine with blacklegs both negroes anti whites Fellow craftsmen I oftimes try to figure out in my own mind which is the worst kind of a scab tbe black or while but of the two I think the white Is the meanest lowdown wretch of man on the face of tbe earth I say friends that a scab is equal to a murderer The differ ence is that one kills outright and the other J l t jjj starves innocent women and children Such things as scabs should reap tblr rca j wards find be punished with such traitors Judas Iscarot and Luken of Illinois Now let us stop and reason upon ibis subject briefly A elate of men under the title of some labor organization are at work for a certain coal company and on ac count of some petty or fancied grievance they order a strike thus throwing the wbolo force out of employment thereby causing them and their families untold suf fering After a season of enforced Idleness and urgent appeals from the opera tors lo again resume work and a refisal to- od so tbe manager of tbe mine feels that an effort must be made to start up work along comes another class of labor ho may have formerly been victimized by being members of a labor organization and through a sad experience been called upon to denounce the order and show their Independent manhood by seeking work whore it could bo found so that poverty might be driven away from the home asks for and Is given work at the rate of wages offered the striking miner and which they refused to work for Now who is tbe ost guilty of what we may truthfully term criminal idleness the man who wont work at living wages or the man who prefers even halt a Ipaf rather than none for the sake of his family- It Is said the air is fillea with tumors of another strike about Massilon Ohio The miners of four counties will bold a meet Ing on December 12 Supt Salmon of the Crabtree mines along with his family came over last week to attend tbe funeral of a relative Governor Tanner of Illinois has been indicted for failing to send troops to preserve order at Virden Illinois during tbe late coal miners strike there Among those on tbe sick list last week was J I McGregor but he Is now able to again resume work In the mines Foreman J W Day of the No 9 mine on account of Ibo serious sickness of bis rother has been prevented from giving is labor as close attention as usual Owing to the rush of business a scarcity f coal cars was felt last week Messrs Willed and Houlaban who op crate a small mine near Heels are kept quite busy filling orders The orders for nut coal exceed tbe supply they report For every 290000 tons of coal produced Illinois In 1897 one coal miner was illed while for 1898 there came up a dead coal miner with every 24799 tons One wife less has been left a widow than n 1897 There Is a very appreciable re dnction in

31Copyright 1883 by D SI Stearns went in to tho king and told oil tho words mUte cars of tim king This is King Jcliolnklm a son of Josiah who reigned 11 years but did evil In tho ofItIn a book all tho words Ho had spoken ngnlnst Israel since tho days of Josiah and read them to tho people if perchance they Irmight turn from their sins to tho Lordand have their iniquity forgiven Doth in tho fourth anti fifth years of Jchoiaklms reign these word wcro read publicly and prl Tatcly again and again sco previous part of this chapter antI now sonia who heard them tell thorn to tho king 21 So tho king sent Johudl to fetch tho roll and Jchudl rend it in tho ears of tho king Daruch tho scribe who had written tho words of tho Lord from tho mouth of Jeremiah had also road tho rabook in tho cars of tho pcoplo and of tho verses 0 8 10 15 10 but now Jchudl rends It docs not matter much who reads provided ho rends distinctly toIto tho origin of tho words they were from tho Lord the Lords words Ho used Jeremiahs mouth and Baruchs pen and mouth but tho message was neither from Jeremiah nor from Baruch but from God Now it is TchudPs mouth but it is still tho samo message front tho Lord 2223 lie cut itwlththopenknifoand cast it into tho fire that was on tho hearth until all tim roll was consumed in tho flro Thus did Jeholukim with tho roll containing tho message from tho Lord Thus ho despised and treated with con tempt tho message from tho Lord and turned his back upon tho Lord and would not hearken to urn What n contrast to Joslah in our last lesson who humbled himself before God anti turned to tUrn with nil his heart Jcholaklm was a Cain man whim Joslah like Abel had faith in God All are either for or against God 21 Yet they were not afraid nor rent their garments neither tho king nor any of his servants that heard all thcso words Tho lined hearted rebellious king would influence those about him in some meas ure to bo rebellious lIko himself When ouco tho heart turns away from God tho hardness ofttlmcs increases very quickly When wo receive not tho truth In tho love of it God lets us believe a delusion and a lie II Thcss II 11 12 It Is a fearful thing to oven listen to n word ngnltst God or against lull word tot whllo holiness is not easily communicated sin is accord ing to Hag II 12 13 25 Ho would not hear them Three pro mentioned who pleaded with tho king not to burn tho roll but ho would not listen to them Ho thought that ho know better than his counselors ho was in his own esteem wiser than his father who had humbled himself before God ho did not bclloVo that Ho that being often reproved hardcnoth his neck shall suddenly bo destroyed anti that without remedy Prov xxbc 1 20 But tho Lord hid them This ro era to Baruch anti Jeremiah whom tho king would now like to lay hands upon and put a stop to such words as these In verso 10 we learn that when tim book was about to be rend to tho king some advised them to hide so that they could not be found anti now wo learn that in their hiding they were guided by God Elijah was so securely hidden by God that ho could not bo found by Ahab in any nation or kingdom I Kings xvll 3 xvill 10 There is a rock tho Rock of Ages in whom wo may so securely hide that no evil can befall us Ex xxxlll 23 Isa 11 10 xxvl 4 margin Tho lifo of all who truly receive Christ as their Saviour is saul to bo hid with Christ in God for

Forever 0 Lord Thy word homoIrejoice in souio blessed fellowship with my dear brother in tho Lord Ilcv John Wil kinson author of that wonderful book Israel My Glory I found him ono day greatly rejoicing In Ps cxIx 80 on which ho expatiated somewhat after this fashion Just think of what wo havo hero What Is settled Thy word Where is it settled In heaven For how long is it settled Forever Whoso word is Hf Thlno 0 LordI Let tho enemies throw out Jonah and his book and Daniel and his book and whatever they do not like they can no more destroy tho word of God than Jcholaklm could destroy tho words of Jere minks rolL When wo reach heaven wo shall find Jonah and his book and Daniel and his book and nil tho word of God for over settled there 20 Tho king of Babylon shall certain ly come and destroy this land and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast These were come of tho words In tho roll which Tchoiakim burned which caused him to hate it and burn it Jonah was n wondrous typo of our Lord In Ills death and resurrection and this tho grunt truth which satan hates anti may bo ono reason why ho would if possible set aside the book of Jonah In Daniel perhaps more than In any other book in tho Bible tho Importance of tho wisdom of this world to understand tho things of God Is made manifest and for that reason among others tho book of Daniel is disliked Revelation tells of tho devils downfall and final doom and there fore ho would lIko you not to read that book 30 31 Therefore thus saith tho Lord of Jchoiaklra king of Judith Then fol whatwoulticomneuponhim not hearken In chapter xxii 10 it was written that ho should bo burled with tho burial of an ass God la not willing that any should perish has no pleasure in tho death of tim wicked I but It in spite of all His warnings and entreaties tho wicked will persist in his wickedness ho is some times given up so to do II Pet ill 0 Kzek xxxill 11 i Deut xxvlll IB 32J Another roll was given by Jere mink to Baruch tho scribe and from tho mouth of Jeremiah ho wrote all tho words that were in tho former roll with tho ad suggeststoof God or bny portion of it only results in the Increase of that word Since tho days of Jchoiakim tho word of God has been bought in order to bo burned but tho money thus obtained produced a larger edition Ilellelous Liberty In America tho bitterness of religious prejudice

and proportionate giving Is Scriptural In tim Old Testament dispensation a tenth was the demand of God Abraham probably gavo a tenth of his substance to God Jacob vowed to do so and it may havo been before this that ho had failed to do what was required and customary In Lev xxvii 80 it is directly and plainly as sorted that a tenth shall be given to Gort All the tltho of tho land wheth or of the seed of the land or of tho fruit of the tree is tho Lords II In tho top ical reference tho prophet Molaehi fear fully arraigns Gods people for not hay ing given tho titho and declares that in withholding it they have robbed God Thero can bo no question about tim law as regards giving in Old Testament times In the Now Testament Paul asks n stated weekly offering for a special purpose and in another place declares that ns God blessed the people they wero to give 2 Systematio and proportionate giv ing is just It is right It asks of no ono what ho is not able to give It re quires the least of thoeowho rcccivo the least and tho moet of those who receive tho most It sets aside so much as belonging to tho Lord It makes it Ills and not ours and removes the tempta tion to use it for

Every duty brings its blessing But God has promised a blessing for tbo ful filling of this duty Bring yo all the tithes into tho storehouse that there may bo meat in Mine house and provo Mo now

Agricultural Experi ment Station Lexington Ky Ginseng its Nature and onI ture is most interestingly by Mr H Garman entomologist and botanist This bulletin could be read with interest by any one unacquainted with this herb and its uses in the countries on the other side of the globe as welt as by those who know something of the plant and who might get some practical suggestions from the reading The document may be had for the asking of the above address Under the heading of Ginseng as a medicine Mr Garman has this singular story to relate Ginsen is used almost excluiively by the Chinese and Japanese who consider it a tonic of marvelous quality to be employed in cases of debility ranch as we use quin Inc It is said to be to some extent mixed with quinine by Chinese dactors While accepting every penny the Chinese will pay for it our people are disposed to scoff at ginseng as a medicine and look upon Its use by the Chinese as the result of super stition aroused by the grotesque resem blance to the human body often asumed by the roots I hive seen it slated that the roots most closely resembling the human body in shape are believed by the Chinese to have exceptional virtues In ban ishing weakness and prolonging life EvenI people of scientific attainment unhesitat ingly pronounce its healing properties a myth On the other band so firmly fixed is ginseng in the esteem of the Chinese and Japanese that they have saws based upon It Implying the most implicit faith In ItsI healing virtues The substance of one of them is to effect that ginseng cures only to allow you to die of starvation And weI can fully appreciate the force of the saying when we read tbestatements of ourEnglish writers as to the prices paid for it In China When of exceptionally good quality tbeI prepared ginseng is said to sell for its weight in gold It seems there U someI evidence even in Chinese literature ing that lbs curalvo properties of ginseng are fancied but tba same thing could be said of our own medicines The following story is quoted from a Chinese botanical work by an English writer and serves to illustrate an attitude assumed by some Chinese toward gensing In the region of Wen Ti Emperor of the Sic dynasty a man living at Sbantang used every night to hear a human voice calling to him from behind his house but could never find out who It was One day at a dislanceof

edition by Wood Remington and Sadtler page 1718 ginseng is seriously discussed but the subject Is finally dismissed with the statement that It is little more than a demulcent The root presumably of ibo Chinese species was long ago examined by British chemists who reported that it contained little or nothing of medicinal value An American chemist Mr S S Garrigues of Philadelphia some years ago discovered in our plant a peculiar substanda for which the name panaquilon was proposed A recent partial analysis of dried roots Is pub fished by Dr A A Peter In the annual report of this Station for
