The Baptist Female University at Raleigh, which opened two weeks ago, snarled out with more flattering pros pects perhaps tha a any s'milar institu tion eyer opened in the Si ate. The re ception give a by the members of the Baptist chu ches o! the ciiy If t week was an ehborjte affair. It was given that the faculty of the new institution might have si opportunity of meeting the people of Raleigh, and the papers said a thousand pc-sons attended the re ception. Planting forests is a strange and new idea to most people of this region, but it will have to he done before two more decades pass unless there is some arrest to ine deslrucuoa of timber.

The tre?s have made good growth, but are not qu'le leady for use as poles, and some of the trees are now being cut out and made iuto fence posts in order to thin the forest." Si-die Superintendent of Public In struction, C. H. Mebane, has sent out the followiug letter to the county su perintendents and teachers of public schools in the State in the interest ot temperance : 'Dear Friends : I wish to call your attention to Section 74 of the School Law : 'The nalL'-e of alcoholic drinks and naicot'cs a ad special instruction as to their effect upon the human system ebaU be included in the branches of study taught in the com mon or free school i a the State of North Carolina, a ad .snail be studied and tai'gnt as thoroughly and in the same miuntT as other "-iie reuuuea branches in sa'd schools,' etc. 'This subject h&3 not received the itlft'iiioo and has not bad the time de voted to it that ehould have been by many of our couaty sune-nteadents and teachers.

GROSVENOR DA WE. Written For The Commonwealth. Anomer uiance iNortnward. it is more of need than of love that has hitherto made Canadian Statesmen so much as think of a j.olitical union with the united states. ier growing com mercial independency is showing her that she can . meet her own needs. This is more likely to increase her love for us than to decrease it ; for it is some what against human nature for us to love sincerely anyone upon whom we are greatly dependent. The stronger Canada becomes the better neighbor will she be for her strong neighbor in the south. We shall make Uncle Sam look foolish indeed if we prompt him to interpret neighborliness as wed lock. It is safe to hope that the power of one language, one literature, one com mon stock will bring Canadians and Americans to mutual and lasting trust, without departure on either Bide for one moment from the condition ot free and independent friends. Perhaps it may be pardonable to let the imagination run forward in relation to Canada's future. She and her neigh bor will conclude that there can be no misunderstanding between the two and both will continue to admit the fool ishness of fortifying themselves the one against the other ; but both will also come to the condition where if the coast of one is touched by hostile finger the heart of the other will be stirred to action. Barricaded by snow and ice on the north and bounded on the south by her puissant friend she will be approachable only on the shores of the Atlantic and of the Pacific. Her improving conditions will rapidly place her where she cannot be staryed out, nor frightened out, nor driven out, and even should a hostile fleet cross the watery bulwarks of two great oceans her inland cities would still be in no Ganger. " - It is in consequence or her uncon querable position that one is prompted to theorize as to her relation to the rest of the British Empire. Whether Great Britain becomes a republic or stays a kingdom it is scarcely likely that her great foreign policy will be altered. Consequently the loose rein that she has held over her various colonies will still suffice to hold them together in one and make them continue to be part of the greatest extent of rule ever intrusted to one nation since the world began. But while the next century will probably see her strength increas ing, at the same time two other rivals or perhaps three will strive to divide world power with her Russia, Ger many and the United States with per haps a calculable influence emanating from Japan. England's success in con ducting the affairs of distant colonies and in holding those colonies together is to arouse the jealousy of the nations that do not speak , her language. Though a peace conference has met at The Hague and though humanity will some day learn to hate war yet it is to be feared that a struggle for a world su premacy is yet to come from commer cial motives. This struggle will not be between nations as nations but rather between races as races. In consequence thure will probably be endeayors from time to lime to snatch away some portions ot that vast gov ernment or to destroy the body or its empire by attacking and destroying the head that rests in little England. Herein may not Canada benefit the motherland ? Canada is the largest stietch of land under the control of England and its whole position is fav orable for permanency. England Is nothing but a comparatively small island never more than a few hours away from hostile attack and never more than a few weeks distant from starvation if attacked. It is called upon to strain every nerve in holding against every comer the little island whose in tegrity means so much to every quarter of the globe. The tendency will be to recoguize the danger of maintaining the center of power where power can be cut off. This danger will be recog nized by each part ot the whole. Out of these feelings will probably grow a vital federation of the British possess ions wherein each spot of England's vast rule will be left free to attend to its internal affairs, but wherein also each part will have a voice by repre sentation in relation to the protection and maintenance oi the whole.

Canada's position rec om mends her for metropolis of Greater .Britain. She is midway between the east and the west, equally well protect ed on either side, traversed by a rail road that binds her parts together in one, developing to the point of main taining untold millions more than she now does, and in close touch with the other great part of the English speak ing rulers of the worldIf all this shall be it will be another demonstra tion once and lor all that there is no combination of problems that the Eng lish speaker Is unable to cope with and that his adjustability is bounded only by never ending demands of new con ditions. DOES ANY ONE CARE FOR FA THER? Does any care aught for father? Does any one think cf the one Upon whose tired, bent shoulders, The cares of the family come? The father who strives for your comfort And toils from day unto day, Although his steps ever grow slower, And his dark locks are turning to gray. Does any one think of the due bills He's called upon daily to pay, Millinery bills, college bills, book bills, There are some kinds of bills every day. Like a patient horse in a tread-mill, He worRs on trom morn until night : Lioes any one think he is tired, Does any one make his home bright? Is it right, just because he looks trou bled, To say he's as cross as a bear? Kind words, little actions and kindness Might banish his burden of care. 'Tis for you he is ever so anxious, He will toil tor you while he may live. In return he only asks kindness, And such pay is easy to give. Southern Cultivator. He Was Ready. Sclrcted. Dolby and his wife were going out the other evening, and Dolby gave himself up to the comforts of his pipe and arm-chair until twenty minutes before time to start. Then he "flew around" in this fashion : "Here, Mary," to his wife, "just lay out my things, will you? Put my studs in my shirt, won't you ? And just slip the links into my cuffs. Don't forget a clean collar, and put a little dressing on my patent shoes. Then I'll want you to tie my tie and oh, iust brush my hat up a liitle, won't you? Yes, and there's a new lace needed in one of my evening shoes. See to it, won't you, dear? Where's my comb and brush? No, they're not where I left them last, for I left them here on the table. Find them, please, and then brush my coat a lif ile. There is a button needed cn n?y trousers. I forgot to tell you before. Can't you button ill is collar for me? It's so stiff I can't do a thing with it. Now tie my tie, please, and slip a clean hand kerchief into my coat pocket ; and then good gracious, woman, it's time we were off now. And here you're not half dressed. What have you been doing? Here I'm nearly ready, and you well, if you women don't beat the Dutch when it comes to dilly-dallying. I've a good mind to go off with out you to tsach you to be ready next time we're going anywhere. Now hurry up. Here, I'm all ready." RED HOT FROM THE GUN Was the ball that hit G. B.

I knew a lady who was a Christian, but a very uncomfortable and unhappy Christian, and who made everybody unhappy around her, and had the special peculiarity that, while she kept good enough in her own room, when she went out of the family all the prickles came out, and she was exceed ingly disagreeable. She knew It was wrong, but she did not know what to do, and thought she would lose her reason. One day, she had been as cross as she could be all day, and in the even ing she met a gentleman friend, who said to her : "If vou will onlv take the sixth chapter of Romans, and kneel down with the open book on the chair before you, and read it verse by verse, and ask the Lord to show you what it means, and if you understand it and believe it, you will get deliverance." She promised to do so, and when reading in her own chamber that night she came to the eleventh verse : "Like wise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin" ; and she could not understand that. "I am not dead," said she ; "it would be telling a false hood, if I said that. When I go out of my room, I know that I shall just do the same as I haye been doing all day." But the blessed Spirit would not let her rest, and at last she made up her mind to obey this command, and to "reckon" herself, on that authority, "dead to sin." She turned to Gal. 2 :20, where Paul says : "I am crucified with Christ ; nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me ; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." She re peated it over and over, and, although she could not understand it, she claim ed it by laith continually, and asked the Lord continually to enable her to understand it. She went to sleep do ing it, she got up in the morning doing it, she did it as she went down stairs. "But how will it be," she thought, "when I get into the dining-room?" But she went into the dining-room saying it, and went through her break fast saying it, and the Lord made It true she was dead to her old tempta tion. After breakfast was over, her mother said to her : "What is the matter with you has anything happened? You seem to be so happy." She replied that it seemed as if her soul had sailed out into heaven. Since then, for three years, she has been living the over coming life, reckoning herself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ ; and not for a momenVhas the old tempta tion troubled her. Any Christian can do that, no matter what his present condition may be. At the very mo ment when he is in the worst possible condition he stands most in need of it, and God's Spirit stands ready to help. King's Highway. "Be a Good Man, Papa." Mary's father was going on a jour ney that would keep him away from his home for a week at least. The children hated to have him go, for they would miss him sadly. He was all ready to start and the horse and wagon were at the door. Mary, always eager for the last word and the last kiss, fol lowed him and gave bim a loving hug before he drove off. "Mind, now, and be a good girl, Mary," said he. "Yes, papa, I will ; and you must be a good man, papa," answered Mary as he drove off. When he looked back as be came to a turn in the road he saw Mary still standing by the gate waving her good bye. Her last words, "Be a good man, papa," went with him. Did he not need the counsel as well as she? He felt t hat he was only Ir child ot larger eroAth. Men and women have their temptatlpns to do wrong as well a3 boys and girls. For the sake of his little girl and his family he would "be a good man" in every sense oi the word ; he would be honest in business, strictly conscientious and keep bis beart pure and his lip? sweet and clean for tneir kisses. If every man would do the same what a happy world ours might be ! The Youth's Temperance Banner. During the winter of 1897 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of ice -in such a manner as to bruise it severely.

It was only a little thiDg for Nell To brighten the kitcbin fire, To spread the cloth, to draw the tea, as ner mother might desire A little thing ; but her mother smiled, And banished all her care, And a day that was sad closed bright and glad, With a song of praise and prayer. 'Twas only a little thing to do For a sturdy lad like Ned To groom the horse, milk the cow, And bring the wood from the shed ; But his father was glad to find at night The chores were all well done. "I am thankful," said he, "as I can be For the gift of such a son." Only small things, but they brighten life, Or shadow it with care, But little things, yet they mould a life For joy or sad despair ; But little things, yet life's best prize, The reward which labor brings, Comes to him who uses and not abuses, The power of little things.

In the October number of "The Na tional Magazine" Anna Farquhar, among other "Convictions," expresses the one that : When a business man teaches his office boy the commercial value of a lie, that boy, at first considerably puz zled, begins shortly to construct a train of conclusions militating against the interests of truth in all relations. The boy is frequently taught that lying to an employer is one matter op posed to all law and order, but lying to a customer is another something ac cepted as essential to all codes of trade. The boy at first reflects and wonders about this two-handed arrangement, but lamentably soon ho accepts and appropriates a code of business honor that apparently has brought about that worldly success surrounding his young, receptive life. On (he other hand, em ployers are responsible for many fine, manly qualities developed by boys who are watching and imitating their every action.

Sheldon, author o "In His Steps," one of the most widely read books in the English language, has written an article which establishes the practicability of the teachings of Christianity as set forth in his book, which have been put to the test in in umerable religious bodies the world over.. Mr. Sheldon declined to write publication auything relating to his individual work in applying his teach ings of "In His Step," until others were convinced that those teachings were applicable to every-day affairs. He has now taken up his pen and shown that the question "What Would Christ Do?" may be answered by every Christian, and the precept followed. "Is Christianity Practical in Worldly Affairs?" will be published in the Nov ember Ladies' Home Journal.
