Publishedby Doubleday, ternity cannot be accepted as conclusive evidence that agriculture is financially a failure. The simple fact is 'that great riches are more a burden than a blessing.

It is said that Mr. Andrew Carnegie does not desire to die a rich man, and he who prayed that neither poverty nor riches might be his lot was the wisest kind a philosopher. If- agriculture has produced but few millionaires it has countless thousands in its ranks who have what in better, a comfortable competence, and if there be any pursuit that furnishes a less percentage of paupeiB than farming, tjie writer has jet to hear of.it. More Remunerative Pursuits But" it is said that in life as also in many other pursuits fortunes are accumulated much more rapidly than is possible in agriculture. This may be true, but it is also true that in the gigantic competitive struggle for wealth, it ia after all comparatively few who are successful.

The many have succumbed to defeat and disaster, and are buried out of sight under the wreckage of gloomy failure and bitter disappointment. As a rule agriculture intelligently and industriously pursued ia a reasonably sure road to a comfortable competence, though it cannot be recommended as a short cut to sudden riches. But as human happiness is not dependent on- the abundance of earthly possession, it may reasonably be concluded that the pecuniary returns of agriculture judiciously conducted add as much or more to the aggregate of human happiness as the larger results of some other -occupations. The Supreme Pursuit The writer can by no means admit that the acquisition of great riches should be the supreme object of pureuit. Indeed, such a view is degrading to true manhood.

Man was made a little lower than the angels, and it is unworthy of him to labor for that which satisfieth not as the supreme end of hisr existence. But it must in candor be said that if wealth alone be the end sought, there may be a shorter road to it than by way of the farm." But one thing seems a competent farmer aided by a good and the necessary capital, has an excellent prospect of financial success. 'i LLEWELLIN. 1 1n pf 'lj II I I I II N.

The- inordinate love of money is declared' to be the root of all evil, but the history of the race demonstrates the foolishness of entering upon any business enterprise without forecasting as far as possible the financial outcome. There is unquestionably a financial side to agriculture. To engage in i without due con sideration of this question would be an act of foolishness akin to that recorded in. Scripture concerning the man who began to build a tower but was not able to finish it. Agriculture and Finance The subject to be presented in this letter is the financial side of agriculture, or other words, does farming pay? May a fair return for the labor and capital invested -be reasonably expected? In our own country it is Ea Id that in.

the Eastern States and in someother localities numerous farms have been- abandoned by their, owners, their cultivation having become unprofitable. This condition of things is no doubt, exceptional ratiier than general, nor is it likely continue for any considerable length of time. There is always a demand for good agricultural productions." and "mostly at remunerative prices. provided the producer be not too far. away from the market and cost of transportation too great.

Qaestion -of Location The question of location, price and quality of convenience to a good market for what is produced are all fac-' tors in the solution-of the problem how to make the farm pay. The successful farmer must be a man. of brain as well as muscle. The farm, whether large or small, will prove to be financially, unprofitable unless it be judiciously and economically managed. A fair knowledge of the.

theory and practice of the business must be supplemented by a constant and careful attention to all the details demanded by good management.

To prove it a leading "young physician and psychologist gave himself up for an experiment, which proved successful. He was transformed into another being for some weeks and restored to his former state by the new process. Then the lady was operated on and forthwith resumed her right mind. Of course this is mythical, and in our present state of knowledge impossible.

is not, however, to be considered absolutely impossible for the future. The argument is that insanity, crime and immorality are the result of the secondary personality getting into control and shoving the normal and upright personality in the background. This is involved. It is explained that' all these deficient or derelict classes can be restored, that societv can be reformed and the millennium attained through these scientific processes. The author does not expect "us" to take his facts seriously, but it is.

The story -of these cruelties is almost beyond belief, yet the author is in position to know the truth. The story deals with one such conscript and his experiences in war and peace, in love and jealousy and in every sort of human condition. He pays the forfeit of his life for his love, a woman who is obliged to sacrifice herself for him. In the terrors of the tragedies of this book, in the relentlessness of the fate which overcomes the weak and the poor, one is reminded of the ancient Greek poets. It is a story that is fascinating its horrors, one that smacks- much of Gorky and.

Schulte, professor of languages at "The Phila-- delphia Theological Seminary of t. Charles liorromeo," located at Overbrook, has just published a brief illustrated history of the seminary since its foundation in 1832. This was the fifth Institution of the sort to be started in this country, although now there are scores of them. For many years it was located in this city, but its great development has been since the removal to the evy fine building just outside the city limits. The institution was started over seventy yearsago with three students in his private rooms, by Bishop.

Kenrick, and has since had -a notable career. A large number of bishops and archbishops have been connected with the institution, either as teachers or. students, and- hundreds of priests have gone! forth to all parts of the wprld fromit.3 halls, The narrative fs -written -in simple and direct stvle and gives a clear account of directed it from the beginning until now.

Cpy riehtl by The Inquirer Company. 'SAN Porto Rico, June 15. Since 1857 the United States has claimed the little Island of Navassa in the West Indies, but it has only been recently decided-by the government' that the little speck on the Caribbean, -which is so small that it appears on no map, shall be put to some use.

Captain Stierle, of the Lighthouse Service. stationed at San Juan, Porto Rico, has recently visited the place, and has selected the site upon which Uncle Sam is to erect a lighthouse as soon as the Congress makes the necessary "appropriation. The new Navassa Light will be taken into the 13th Lighthouse district, with headquarters at which includes Cuba Section 1 of an act of Congress, passed Agust 18. 1S5G. says that whenever a citizen of the L'nited States shall "discover deposit of guano on any island, rock or ke not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other government, and not occupied by the citizens of any other government and shall take peaceable possession thereof, and occupy the same, said island, rock or key, may.

at the discretion of the President of the United States, be considered as appertaining to the United States." Took I'eaoeable Pominn Navassa Island, shaped something like a pear, is about one mile square, it lies 32 miles southwest of Hayti, latitude 18 degrees 10 minutes longitude 75 degrees W. It 13 nearly i level, has steep, sloping sides, terminating all around in bold, white cliffs aboutlia feet high. Its highest point is 250 feet. On July 1. 1857," Peter Duncan discovered a bed of guano on Navassa.

No one seemed to be claiming the little spot at that time, so Duncan- returned to Navassa on September -19 of the same year-and took "peaceable of it in the name of theUnited States. It was all very well to own phosphate beds, but how to work them without money was a So Duncan interested Edward K. Cooper, who invested a limited amount in the venture. But the great height of the island, the neces- come greater opportunities in every phase of life into which make for the rounding out of the good citzen and best moral status for the individual. The argument is clearly presented and it contains reasoning that will not be familiar to all, but is worth considering.

AX ESSAY AGAISST WAR rT" HE ETHICS -OF FORCE" is the I title of a little volume from the press of Ginn Company, of Boston, which contain some essays which are elaborations of addresses made by the author, H. E. Warner, short ly before the outbreak of the Spanish war. The author is a- veteran of the Civil in which he lpet one of his limbs, was in captivity and much in the hospital.

He speaks as one with experience and not purely from an academic point of view. His thesis is that "war is a benefit to the extent that it does not exist." It is an interesting commentary on the place which force has taken in the world and it is a denial of the claim that the highest patriotism is to fight for one's country, "right or wrong," or that war brings about commercial and social benefits. It is written in a calm manner and is an interesting volume which is a different sort of appeal against war from many of the arguments of the ordinary peace It has a good message for the 1 i book: quotations TIFE -ILLUMINED" is an excellent collection of the sayings of the good and great all ages concerning the ethics--of life.

It is the sort of book w-hich one can read by the hour with profit and it fills a niche that has hitherto been vacant. AN ESSAY ON MACBETH THE Poet Lore of Boston publishes "Macbeth, a Warning Against Superstition," by Esther Noble. The author claims that Shakespeare was "so far in advance of his time that the greatest scientific truths were well known to him many years before they were hit upon by their so-called discoverers." This statement ought to make the curious desire to.

read the book. For ourselves, we never looked upon Shakespeare as a scientific man, nor supposed that his object -as to teach morals. He did write good plays, which seems to have been his chief aim. The essay has at least a claim to originality. SKETCHES OF GREAT CLERGYMEN ODERN Masters of Pulpit Dis course," by William Cleaver ilkinson.

He ia discriminating and at -times rather severe, but on the whole he gives us admirable pictures of such, men as Beecher, Talmage, Storrs, McLaren, Liddon, Moody, Gunsaulus and others.
