i r t i. 5 T . at Southern Progress. A monthly, sixteen-page journal containing in each number some twenty narra tives of the South, chiefly descriptive and - pictorial. The paper is undoubtedly the best illustrated journal in the world, and the only publication which presents glimpses of Southern life and Southern people. It is a favorite souvenir with those who have visited the South; and it serves a good purpose, in lieu of a visit, to those who have never been there. The regular price of Southern Progress is fifty cents a year, but to introduce the paper we will send it three months for ten cents. FRANK A. HEYVOOD, Edilo ind Publisher, 24 1 S.

THE SECTION Includes th history of half a century, from the death of Jahoo haphat to close of ths rtlsn of hla great-, grandson Joash (t Chroa.. chaps. B-M). TIME. During ths first two-thirds of ths reign of Joash. who reigned B. C 178 140 (rav. chron 36-76). Ths repairs were begun tarty In bla reign, hut wars not com pleted till his twenty-third year 2 Kings 12)6). PLACE. -Jerusalem, ths capital of the kingdom of Judah. I. The Fatal Results of Jehoohaphat s Evil Alliance. Worked out during the reign of hisson.lehoram (eight years), andJehoram'ssonAhassiah (one year), and Jehoram's wife Athaliah, daugh ter of Jezebel (six years). II. The Boy Bang, Joash. Joash was the son of Ahanah and Zlbiah, a wom an probably selected by Athaliah. HL The Beginning of the Reforma tion. The first work of reformation in Joaeh's reign was at the time of his coronation. Jeholadu "took the op portunity of the great gathering in the temple, and the general exaltation of teering produced by the events of the. day, to bind the people afresh to ooa by a solemn league and covenant, so that 'the Joyous festival of homage to the young king became on this occa sion Identical with that of renewed olleglnnee to Jeliovuh'" (2 Kings 11:17). Tbe second work was a popular outburbt on the same day against Baalism. The third work was the reorganiza tion of the prints and Leoites for the various temple services after the man ner of David (2 Chron. 83: 18). IV. The Temple Restored. Vs. 4-13. 4. "And it came tJ pnsa after this:" After he was settled on tho throne and the first works of reformation had pre pared the way. "To repair:" to re store. Tills wit the fourth of hio re forms. JooshV early experience of seven years in .ho temple courts may have Impressed his mind with the need of restoration. 5. "And he gathered together (in a public meeting) the prleoto snd the Levites;" who Lad charge of the tem ple and its services and the religious and moral education of the people. Go out unto the citiesof Judah:" The who! people were to have their part n the work, as required by the law of Moses. "And gather of all Israel:" Each one was to go to his own ac quaintance (3 Kings 12:5). The advantages of this courts were (1) that all had a share in ths work; (3) Unit all could thus have an interest In it, training them in the true re ligious life. "Where your treasure is, there will j our heart be also." (3) It was a proof that they were sincere in renewing their covenant (2 Kings 11: 17). (4) It was only thus that money for the expenses could be obtained, and .the work well done. "Prom year to years" They could thus give much more than if required to pay the whole gum at once. The Delay. 'The Levitea hastened It uot:" (1) Because for a longtime not much hud been done, so that the people were 'not very ready to take hold, and this discouraged the priests. (2) It is quite passible that tbe people were not enthusiastic in giving up cuune they did not trust the priest. 5. "Called for Jehoiada the chief:" In the twenty-third year of his reig.'. It is strange that the high prlek'.i should be negligent; but he was a very old man (2 Chron. 24:13), evenrf, with most critics, we read 103 Instead of 13(1 vcaxs. lie had become used to the dilapidated state of the temple, and perhaps sympathised with tbe prlsts in their reasons for delay. "Collectn (the tax) of Mows:" The poll tax of half a shekel (33 cents) for the service of tho Uibernaclc (Ex. 30:11-18). "And of tho oongregation:" The free-will offeHng not required by the law of Moses. "For the tubernacle of wit ness:" Which bore witness to Jehovah and His covenant with Israel. There was only a tabernacle, ot a temple, when Moses gave theso laws. 7. 'Had broken up," etc.: They had injured the temple. 8. "They made achett"abox. "And let it without (the temple proper, but) at the gate of the house:" The door that led from the court of tho priests Into the temple proper. , . 1 0. And tfiey made a proclamation: Instead of a great number of irrespon sible priests going out among their acquaintances, an imitation was tent all over the country for the people to come to Jerusalem, and present their offerings. 10. "And all the people rejolcodrand brought in:" Joy and delight In the object make liberal givers. "Until they had made an end:" Till enough was given for the purpose. 11. "The king's scribe and the high prlest'tofficer:" The secretory of state nnd the representative of the aged high priest. , ' 12. "Gnveittosuchnsdld the work:" The money went directly' from the treasury to the workmen, who were trusted perfectly (2 Kings ,13: 13). 14. "And they offered burnt offer ings:" They renewed tho temple services as well as the temple, and used all the means end symbols of worship to uplift the people. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. It is a sure sign of religious declen sion when the house of God is neg lected and out of repair. Tho religious spirit is feeble when tbe private houses are beautiful and expensive, and tho house of God is poor snd dilapidated. Giving for the work of God should be universal. All the people should have part in it. It is like eMding up the work into shares, to that each person, however small or poor, can bold some portion. . Ca ' Giving should be enthusiastic.

A series of interesting tests was re cently made by Prof. Frank Soulo, of the University of California, to ascer tain the holding powers of cut and wire nails. The two kinds of wood employed in tin4 experiments were Douglao sprmv umi California red wood. It in. 1 1;', lie supposed that the quulitiex of o. ....'.' sort of nails would be the same whatever the variety of wood used. Such, wus not the cuttu, however. It was discovered, for in stance, that the holding power of nulls increases with redwood, but diminishes slightly with Douglas Mprucc. Again, the cut nail seemed to have a greuter efficiency when driven Into the spruce, while the wire null worked best with the redwood. The latter was the softest wood, but tho luterul pressure of the separated fibers is greater. ' , Prof. Some nays that the cut nail holds better If it has a point, but point ing tbe null Increases the tendency to split the wood. Cut nails driven with wedge across the grain are only about 80 per cent, as strong as those driven with the wedge parallel to the grain. This fact does not accord with the practice in driving, probably on ao- count of the greater tendency to split the wood. A. null is three times ao strong when driven into the side of a beam that Is. across the grain as it is driven into the end of it; that Is, parallel to the grain. When nailing cleats to a block the same area of nail in the wood will hold about the Bimie stress, whether a few large nails ore used or more rib nil ones. Tho su periority, if any, is in favor of the larger nail. ATMOSPHERIC TESTS Tbe Effect of Different Uearreea Temperature nnd Humidity on the Hams a Hod?. ot Some laboratory experiments witU a view tio determining the effects of different degrees of atmospheric tem perature and humidity on the human liody have recently been conducted by Robtier and Von Lewaschew. The testa were made in a closed chamber, Into which air of varying known de grees of humidity was admitted. It was found that ot low temperature (37 to 59 degrees) dry air is pleosanter than moist; and between 73 and 84 degrees dry air see ma cooler than moist when the change is made from one to the other. It was decided by the German scientists who conducted the experiments that tho last-named temperatures are easily borne if the air is dry. Visible perspiration was first noted at 84.S degrees, and 23 per cent, relative humidity. Moist air (00 per cent, relative humidity) made the temperature of 75.2 degrees unbear able for a long time, and the experi ment was possible only when there was no musoular movement whatever, At this temperature and humidity there was not much perspiration, al though thirst was felt. While it was hard to breathe in dry air, the ease ot respiration increased with tho in troduction of moisture into tbe at mosphere. Theso experiments are in structivo as far as they go, but it has been pointed out that they take no account of tho movements of the air, which is an important factor on af fecting the sensible temperature, and the varying amounts of heat lost by conduction, radiation and evapora tion, according to the temperature and proximity of surrounding objects, aro Influences almost entirely absent from tho laboratory. Tuberculosis and Fish. French bacteriologists have discov ered that tuberculosis may be com' municated to fishes, and .that lt.proves fatal to them quickly. The bacilli used In the experiments were derived from human beings, rabbits, hens, and pre viously Infected fish. Tuberculosis bacilli from fish, however, have little effect when Injected into rabbits and twit twn(f to the attenuation of the j TURH1P CULTTVATIOIT.

J, Shepherd, in Farmer's Voice. GRASS IN ORCHARDS. There Aro Soaae Clrearaatnnrrt li Which Its rmeaoc Will laasllr Prova Beneficial. Only by experience and study can i man know how to apply the gwieral rules of farming. There is no one rult that will apply lu all cases. It is gen erally true that keeping an orcluri free of grass and well cultivated U means of increasing its frultfulnm Yet even this rule will not work well in all cases. A great deal will depend on the soil and the fertility in it, on the trees and their habits of growth, anil so on. To set out a young orchard and begin to cultivate it and fertilize har ily would often be the ruin of it. Dur ing the first years of the lifo of an or chard it is often desirable to have the trees grow very slowly. In some soili this end Is easily attained by leaving the soil in its natural state, even will no grass cover, the fertility of the toil being perhaps low. But in a rich toil other means must be used to prennt the trees from feeding too grossly. A cover of grass will help to do this. Dot only will the roots take up part of tlx fertility in the ground but also part of the moisture. What is left will prcm enough to give the trees all the growth they should have. . Of course even Oil will depend on the year being nn or dinary one. While grass la a good thing to keep out of most orchards, It will thus be found to be beneficial un der some circumstances.
