He is six feet tall, weights about 175 pounds when in training. He bats left handed, but throws right handed. He is an all-wool Democrat, of ccurse, and expects to vote for Wil- son., Cobb is a crack shot with a rifie and a gun, drives an automobile well and has but one regret, that he did not have a chance at football. In a game at Cleveland once he singled, stole second, third and home without even breaking his stride. He invented the art of scoring from first on a single. He admits that his own position in the outfield is easy to play and says that the catcher has the hardest position. He likes best to play in Detroit— rext to that Boston. The pitchers who trouble him most are Ed Walsh and Walter Johnson. When Joss was alive he had Ty's goat. The style of pitchers who worry him most are those with a side arm delivery or those who turn their Lack before they pitch. He admits that a spit ball, espec- ially a low one, is the most difficult thing for him to hit. Cobb's early ambition was to osurgeon, solling be He has tried his hand at automobiles and at acting Ie is investing his money in bank stock, tarm lands, baseball clubs and srorting goods stores, He will prob- ¢bly go into the sporting goods busi- ness when he retires, He a chronic scrapper since a boy but is as quick to forgive an injury as he is to fight.

This spring the Detroit team went cn a strike when (‘obb was suspend- ed for dashing into the stands at New York and beating a spectator who had been rough in criticising kim. Cobb is the only man who has batted as high as .420 since the foul ike rule was adopted. Only five men in the last twenty years (Duffy, Boston, .438; Turner, Philadelphia.

Nature is neither moral or immor- al; it is unmoral, Nature is not a manifestation of Cod. *“The firmanent showeth handiwork;"” but man is more his handiwork. Man is the manifes- tation of God. We do not look through nature to nature's God, but through humanity to humanity's God. In man are the Father's linea- ments, We can see them even in sinful, ruined man, as we can see the beauty of Greek art in the ruined temple and broken statue. To man’s thinking that nature is God, and worshipping an unmoral God, and trying to win his favors by sifts and sacrifices, comes the gospel And this is its message: his than Nature is not God; nature is not the image ol God; man is the im of God. Would you know God? Look into your own heart. God dwells vithin you. Your sense of justice ad- ministering law, your spirit of com- passion administering merey, your loving self-s fice inspir you fathers and mothers 1o give you E lives for your children these :ueI the interpreters of God. God is spir U5oyou are spirit; you are God's off- spring; veu and He are kin., And that you may know him bot, ior, He has come into your world and I'ved a human life with you; and he £till comes into our world and lives with you. In humanity you are to look for his unveiling; something of Him in every just and generous spir- it; all of Him that you can compre- hend in the life and character of His sen, the man, Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ was poor; reverence is not for riches. Jesus Christ had cnly a peasant's education; rever- ence is not for scholarship; Jesus Christ was without political author- ity; reverence is not for power. Jesus Christ taught as never man tdught and loved as never man loved; reverence is for truth and love. This is the gospel. It is not in nature; it is human nature. Edison will not find a gospel in the machine, nor Darwin in the book. nor John Borroughs in the museum. Put we may al] find it in our fellow men, in the justice of the statesman, in the ministry of the doctor, in the patience of the teacher, in the com- passion of the philanthropist, in the self-sacrifice of the father and moth- SvNU dLbuitaM, LAKELAND, FLA., AUG. 5, 1912, -v———_—_—\ er, and most of all in the character and life of Him “who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven.” You may not believe this gospel, but it is at least well that you un- derstand it. 1 do not wonder that men do not believe it. That the eter- ral, the Lord and Giver of Life, the Creator and Ruler of the universe, ithould have come into one human life, filling it full of Himself, that He may come into all our lives filling us all with Himself, sometimes seems to me news too good to be true, too stupendous to be believed. It is be- lief in this gospe] which makes me an optimist, and I find it easier to believe that man has discovered this God than to believe that man has in- vented him.—Lyman Abbott. REMUNERATIVE FLORIDA CROPS. There is not a month in the year and seldom a day in any month, that the progressive farmer and truck grower of Florida is not busy either rlanting or harvesting some of the many crops that bring big returns when intelligently cultivated and marketed, says the Florida Financial and Industrial Record. Florida's great diversity of pro- ducts has made the State famous, and there is a reason. The State ex- tends north and south through {57 miles of latitude, a narrow peninsn- la, protected on the east, west and south Ly large bodies of sult water, Standard crops of all sorts of vege- tables and fruits, including many tropical and semi-tropical varieties, can be raised every mouth in the year. No other State or territory in the Union can do so much., In the vorthern tier of countics are the rea clay hills, undulating wita dales ano gridironed with many running streams. This soil is adapted to the crowth of cotton, corn, tobacco, su- gar cane, nearly all kinds of vege- tubles, the pecan and other nut and fruit trees and many varieties srass and hay. It was not until recently that Flor- ida was considered seriously as 1 cern producing State, but statistics row show that it can hold its own with the best in the South. Skill and intelligence have been incorpo- rated with soil and climate, and as a result 85 and 90 and even as much as 110 bushels of corn have been raised to an acre. A high grade to- Lacco is also raised in abundance on some of the Florida soils. As much as 1,100 to 1,200 pounds to the acre have been harvested, and this is far from being an exceptional produc- tion. of In many of the northern counties Florida large pecan groves are growing. In one county alone five thousand acres are planted in pecan trees, while here and there numerous counties throughout the State, pecan groves of various sizes have been put out. Sea island cotton is extensively grown in many of the north- ern tier of counties and a bale to a bale and a half an acre is not un- usual. In the middle tier of counties good crops of corn, cotton, tobacco and attention is given to truck fwrming, particularly to strawberries, water- n.elons and cantaloupes. It is custo- mary for some one crop to be grown extensively by a community. For in- stance Hastings' farmers give mo attention to Irish potatc but © cently they have been raising sea is- lund cotton and also find some of| their land well suited to strawho i In another district, =uch Sanford, celery is rajsed In another section, Lakeland and 1 City, for example, strawber ziven the preference calitios the buyers « pay cash for Gitlon and in o sonu ol I'he southern coun e making rapid prouross ent. Citrus cnlture aud t ing are receiving the tion. ar ALl sorts of vegetab raised almost month in 1l year on the same land that is my taring the citrus grove. The profitable vegetables grown in mamny localities are tomatoes, peas, beans. eggplant, cabbage, okra, etc. Hun- dreds of thousands of crates of th s | vegetables are shipped by express and fast reiihts to northern markets all through the winter and sprinc ronths, when the soil in the vast majorities of the country through- cut the United States is frozen and cevered with snow. every The soi] of Florida aided by th «limate offers another decided advan- tage in that several crops can ba raised in one year on the same pi ©0f land. Two vegetable ¢ro cne staple crop are usual 17 stance, Irish potatoes are dJdux, s rotatoes are planted and w! last crop is gathered a ton of hay can be made to the acre.

Music culture is made of motifs, money and half-nakedness. In its r:ost virulent form it is seen at grand opera. Literary culture consists of equal parts of rhapsody, hysterics, toady- ism and simple mania. It is incur- able in extreme cases. In the case of young women, a sudden marriage sometimes works wonders. Artistic culture is divided into realistic, impressionistic and mystic. In the realistic, we see things as we think they are; in the impressionis- tic, as we hope they never will be; in the mystic, we look mysterious and frankly admit that it would be no earthly use to impart to common minds our own superior opinions.— Lippincott’s. NEW BUILDING FOR FLORIDA’S INSANE. Musical, CULTURE. [ Tallabassee, Aug. 3.—The board of commissioners of State institutions has advertised for the conmstruction of a receiving hospital at the State insane asylum, at Chattahoochee.
