ecines not in strange, unusual ways of
visions tied portents. But it is ever
speaking Ihreizgli the things of daily
life; it Is ever revealing truth and betorty
to the inner ear, for it conies not from
without but springs up within; heard
by the heart mike. than by the ear.
The best things have not dropped
down; they have grown up. Life Ls not
from %online', but from within. God
speaks not In thunders, but in tee

TOBACCO GROWING IN BRITAIN.
Extensive ExperintellIS Are Likely lo lan
hlade Next Year.
There is every peobabilily that exlen-
Ale() experiments in tho cultivation of
tobacco will be undeelakeu next year In
England. If this Its clone it will be due
largely lo the agitation of the mattee
Lord. Walsingham, and the fact that
them happens to be another progresslve
peer, Lord Carrington, at the head of the
Board of Agriculture.
Lord Walsingham, who is regarded as
the best shot. in EngInnd, and probably
the only man who shoots wasps on the
wing, proved nearly 20 years ago that
tobaccoc ould bo successfully grown and
prepared for use in England. Friends
who Ivied Ins growths, spoke of them in
terms of praise. effie experiments were
conducted on his own farm at Merton,
in Norfolk, on land which ordinarily
rented at $2.75 an acre.
Arrangements wore made with the
'Revenue leepartinent by whIcit the
Government, agreed to permit the ex-
periments on being paid a duty reck-
oned at the rate of $250 au acre. The
eeedlings Were obtained from Anierica.
They were Virginia, Big leredevick,
