Notes on Negro Progress Furnished by the National Negro Business League The statement of business transacted by The Farmers' Co-operative Negro Company of Mound Bayous, Miss., a company that operates a general department store in that town, to the close of November last, shows resources to amounting $24,420.26. E. P. Booze is the manager. The Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, Ga., has added Missouri to the list of States in which they can do business, and like its entrance into Kentucky and Tennessee, Missouri Negroes have accorded a gratifying welcome by taking out many policies, both of the old line and industrial class. The Central Regalia Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, of which Joseph L. Jones is president and manager, has recently been making some extensive improvements in its plant, adding new machinery, etc. This company makes and furnishes everything in the regalia line, rituals, record books, seals, and other stationery used by any and all Negro fraternities. All the employees of the company, from the president down to the janitor, are Negroes. The lastreport shows the company to be in splendid condition, and doing a large business with Negro lodges of every fraternity. Columbus, Ohio hi a new, and its only Negro newspaper, The Columbus Independent, edited by Floyd J. Snelson. A new newspaper and the only one in the city, has also been started at St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Ida Walker being editor and proprietor. Both of these recent comers into the Negro newspaper field are bright, newsy papers, and greatly needed in the cities where established. The stockholders of the Johnson Manufacturing Co., Boston, Mass., met in annual session recently and listened to a very interesting and encouraging report by the President, W. Alexander Johnson, of a successful business year. A dividend of 6 per cent was paid to stockholders of record and a good balance placed to the sinking fund. This company manufactures a line of remedies for the hair, scalp and face which are sold in every part of this country. The receipts of the Post Office at Mound Bayou, Miss., over which a colored woman presides as postmistress, and which town is an exclusive Negro town, indicates the progress of the town, From March, 1912, to March, 1913, the receipts were as follows: Money orders issued. $67,776.22; Fees $539.40; On Postal Account, $3,607.44; Sale of Stamps, $3,337.51; From Newspapers, $41.88; Box Rents, $227.50. In the Postal Saving Department certificates to the amount of $343 were issued. The Postoffice receipts of a city or town indicates how live it is. This being accepted as criterion, the Negro town of Mound Bayou is very much alive. As indicating that the Negroes of Washington, D. C., are awaking to the necessity of establishing business enterprises, and patronizing race establishments, it is estimated that in the last two years $20,000 have been invested in business establishments in U Street alone, from 9th to 14th Street.

Atlanta Wins Annual Debate From Fisk University Atlanta Wins Annual Debate From Fisk University LARGE CROWD GATHERED TO HEAR ARGUMENTS Georgia Boys Given Great Ovation Ly Audience when Decision of the Judges was Rendered-Resolved, That the United States Should Disclaim the Monroe Doctrine as a Part of its Foreign Policy, Subject Debated Nashville, Tenn., April 4—On last night Atlanta University met Fisk University in debate which resulted in an unquestionable victory for Atlanta University. The subject of the debate was Resolved, That the United States should disclaim the Monroe Doctrine as a part of its foreign policy. Atlanta University defended the affirmative, having as speakers Messrs. Asa H. Gordon of Monticello, Ga., and Loring B. Moore of Brunswick, Ga., while Fisk held the negative with Messrs. Charles A. Wade and Edward L. Dunning as speakers. The first speaker, Moore, of Atlanta, held that the Monroe Doctrine is unjust to the countries of South America as well as to the other countries of the world; that it is not a part of international law; and that as now practiced it is contrary to the spirit of Monroe who enunciated the doctrine. The first speaker for Fisk on the negative contended that while the doctrine is not international law, it had practically the force of international law. He asailed no other arguments made by the affirmative, but he advanced the argument of danger to the Panama canal, resulting from giving up the doctrine. Gordon, the second speaker for Atlanta, replied that all international law must be actually written down, signed and sealed to make it law, otherwise it could not be binding. He further re-futed the first speaker by showing that if foreign powers holding land near the Panama canal were a danger, that danger already existed under the Monroe Doctrine as it now stands. Then he proved that the Monroe Doctrine is unnecessary and inexpedient, that it is inconsistently interpreted, that it is conducive to ill-will in South America and in Europe, and that it greatly hinders our commercial development. Fisk's next speaker contended that the Doctrine is based on sound political theory, and that it is thought well of by many prominent South Americans. In rebuttal Atlanta replied that it made no difference how many men spoke well of the Doctrine, that as long as it could that fact alone was proof enough that a new policy is needed which can not be misunderstood. Moore, of Atlanta, held that it is dangerous to have an international policy that can be interpreted in so many ways; that it is provocative of war. Finally, Gordon, of Atlanta, granted that even if it were sound in theory, that would make no difference if the doctrine worked badly, as he proved. He maintained that its value depended upon the way it worked which was proved to be bad. The debate was attended by a large crowd and enthusiasm ran high during the whole evening. The decision of the judges was considered by the audience, including the Fish students, a fair one and the victorious Atlanta boys were given a loud applause. Ladies Day at Savannah Home Association On tomorrow afternoon from two to seven o'clock the rooms of The Savannah Home Association 410 Taylor street, west, will be thrown open to ladies. A cordial invitation is extended you by the members of this organization and they would be pleased to be favored with your presence. Light refreshments will be served during the afternoon. Tribune PETER H. BURTON A Great Men's Meeting The question of evangelizing the whole world is engaging the attention of thoughtful laymen in all denominations. Our own men have been a little tardy, but they are awakening every where, and talking about the matter. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board, has planned for a great men's meeting at the First African Baptist Church at 3:30 Easter Sunday. Dr. Jordan has visited Africa twice and comes to us with first hand information. Rev. Wilder of this city and Madam Becks of Missouri will also be among the speakers. The Missionary societies of all the churches and ladies are invited as a special part of the church will be reserved for them. Let the men of Savannah turn out in great numbers to this meeting. Easter at First Congregational Church Special Easter services will be held at the First Congregational Church tomorrow. In the morning at 6:30 o'clock a praise service will be held under the auspices of the Y.P. S.C.E. At 11 a.m. an Easter sermon will be preached. At this service several infants will be baptized.

Pritchett will learn with regret of his death at Cascade, Va., on last Saturday. For a number of years Dr. Pritchett had been in failing health and about 2 years ago he moved to Savannah in hopes of regaining his strength. Failing to improve there, he went to Virginia but the inroads of all health had so weakened his vitality that he could not survive. He is survived by his widow and several children to whom the sympathy of a host of friends goes out. Dr. Pritchett came to Augusta about 18 years ago, immediately after graduation from Leonard Medical College at Shaw University and in a short time built up a lucrative practice. He was an active secret order man being a member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. Mrs. Pritchett and the children have been in Augusta for several months, his son. W. T., Jr., being the only member of his immediate family with him at the time of his death. Accompanied by her eldest daughter, Miss Bizzelle, Mrs. Pritchett left on Sunday afternoon for Virginia. Pending her arrival, funeral arrangements have not been announced. Genuine sorrow is being express by all who knew Dr. Pritchett at his departure, and the bereaved family have the condolence of all who knew him.—Georgia Baptist. ST. STEPHEN'S CON- FIRMS BIG CLASS ST. STEPHEN'S CON- FIRMS BIG CLASS THIRTY THREE ACCEPTED IN CHURCH BY BISHOP Five Infants Baptised Last Sunday Morning—Large Crowd Turned Away from Confirmation Services—About Fifty Added to Church During Rev. Taylor's Seven Months in This City Confirmation was held at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on last Sunday night by the Rt. Rev. Reese, bishop of the diocese, and perhaps the largest crowd in the history of the parish was in attendance. Long before the hour set for the services to begin the church was filled, every available seat being taken, and those who came at the usual opening time were tured away. It is estimated that at least three hundred were refused admission on account of lack of accommodation. The confirmation services as carried out by the bishop were very impressive and the sermon he delivered to the class an exceptionally strong one. The class which was confirmed consisted of thirty-three members, sixteen males and seventeen females. It is the largest class ever confirmed at St. Stephen's, the nearest approach to it being one about twenty years ago when twenty-seven were confirmed under the Rev. R. Bright, the former pastor. After the services the bishop took a seat on the rostrum and shook hands with, the members of the newly confirmed class and many of the members of the church. In the morning the baptism of children took place and the service was attended by a packed church. The five children baptised were Marie Gáillard Moore, Susan Margeret Scott, Earle Elliott Edwards, and Hilda B. Boifeuillett. John Boifeuillett, Jr., was acknowledged into the church at this service also. so. The members of the confirmation class were, adults, Mr. M. B. Branham, Mr. J. P. Boileuillett, Mr. Frank Dowse, Mr. Arthur Dilworth, Mr. Samuel Montgomery, Mr. Frank McKelvey, Mr. David W. Moore, Mr. Henry Paterson, Mr. Elliott P. Taylor, Mr. D. J. Wilson, Miss Jeanette Branham, Mrs Ethel Boiffeuillett, Miss Rosa M. Bourke, Miss Harriet Blyler, Miss Agatha R. Curley, Miss Lottie Evans, Miss Anna E. Millen, Miss Annulette McDowell, Miss Ellen Spaulding; children, Gertrude Steele, Veranese Skipper, Eleanor Pollard, Anna Jones, Georgia Hare, Augusta L. Hernandez, Frances Habersham, Ruth M. Giles, William J. Whiteman, John A. Jones, Herbert Dixon, Alphonso Davis, Herbert B. Dowse. Including last Sunday night's class the Rev. J. L. Taylor has added about fifty to the membership of the church since his coming here seven months ago, and he has officiated at six marriages, baptised fifteen, and performed many funeral ceremonies of persons who were not communicants of his church. Asbury M. E. Church Last Sunday the services were well attended. At the morning services, the Rev. J. W. Tindall preached an able sermon. At 4 p.m. the funeral services of Miss Catherine Bogan were held; the pastor, Rev. Stripling officiated. At 8 p.m. preaching and the communion services were held. The pastor preached on the subject, "The value of a soul." The revival services are still going on. The public is invited to attend these services. The following services will be on tomorrow: At 5 a.m. the resurrection sermon, 3:30 p.m. Sunday school, 8 p.m. the Easter exercises. Abyssinia Baptist Church Rev. E. L. B. Barbor, pastor, preached three strong sermons Sunday. At 3 o'clock the communion services were held. The church is yet alive and getting along nicely. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson II.—Second Quarter, For April 12, 1914. Text of the Lesson, Luke xxiv, 13-35 Memory Verses, 31, 32—Golden Text, Ronn. vill, 34—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This study might bear the title of the one for March 22, "Lessons by the Way," and it is also a good introduction to next week's lesson on "The Cost of Discipleship," for nothing helps one to be a disciple like the power of Ills resurrection (Phil. iii, 10). There were five appearances of the risen Christ on that first resurrection day, to Mary Magdalene, to the other women, to Peter, to these two men and in the evening to the top (Thomas being absent). That which Jesus was and did during the forty days between His resurrection and ascension speaks to me of that which the saints will be and do in our resurrection bodies, for we shall be like Him. (Mal. ill, 16). I like the words "Jesus Himself," "I myself," "Jesus shewed Himself," "He gave Himself," "His own self bare our sins" (verses 86, 39); John xx, 1, 14; Acts 1, 3; Galil 11, 20; Pet. ii, 24). No one can fill or satisfy the heart like "Himself," and we do not wonder that the psalmist sald, "My meditation of Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord!" (Ps. cx. 34). The men asked if He was a stranger because He did not seem to know the great events of the past few days, and they told Him all (verses 19-24), evidently with much sadness and disappointment. They talked as if they had never heard that He was to die and rise from the dead on the third day, though He had repeatedly told them that it would be even so (Luke ix, 22; xvill, 31-34). It is written concerning John, whom Jesus loved, who leaned upon His bosom, that even he, as well as Peter knew not that Jesus must rise again from the dead (John xx, 9). This should lead us to ask ourselves in all sincerity if we are really believing all that is written concerning His present ministry, His coming again and His kingdom, and our share by grace in it all. He told them that their difficulty was that they did not believe all that the prophets had spoken and were therefore foolish men (verses 25, 26), and that evening He said to the eleven and those gathered with them, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets and in the Psalms concerning Him (verses 33, 44). Many of these still unfulfilled propheies are today wholly neglected or spiritualized into mere nothings. Take for example Israel becoming a righteous nation, Jerusalem the throne of the Lord, His feet standing again upon the Mount of Olives, the nations ceasing from war, Israel filling the earth with fruit, the whole earth filled with His glory (Isa. ii, 4; xl, 9; xxvll, 6). The whole topic of all Scripture may be summed up in "the sufferings of Christ and the glory that shall follow" (verse 26 and I Pet. 1, 11), of which He spoke to them as He walked, opening to them the Scriptures, and expounding to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (verses 7, 32). I think we may be certain that He did not fail to expound Gen. 11, 15, 21, 24; xxil. E; xxil. Lev. xvl; Num. xix; Deut. xvill; Ps. xxii; Isa. lili; and who can tell how many more. Is it your custom when you read your Bible to pray, Lord, by Thy Spirit, open to me this Scripture? He made as though He would have gone further when they reached the end of their journey, for He does not intrude unless desired. It was not difficult to constrain Him to abide, for He is glad to enter every door that is opened to Him (verses 23, 29; Rev. 11, 20). As He sat at meat with them He took bread and blessed and broke and gave to them, and He was known of them in breaking of bread (verses 30, 31, 35). My own conviction is that they saw in His hands, as He broke the bread, the marks of the nails and thus recognized Him, even as the same evening He convinced the disciples that it was Himself by showing them His hands and feet (verse 39). As they knew Him He vanished out of their sight, so shall we do when we shall have obtained our resurrection bodies. They rose up the same hour and started back to Jerusalem with such a heartburn as they probably had not known before. Compare the inward burning of Ps. xxxix, 3; Jer. xx, 9; Job xxxl, 18-20. The eight mile walk back to the city did not seem long to them, as they no doubt rehearsed all that He had told them. They found the disciples and others gathered together, talking of His resurrection, and of how He had appeared to Simon; so they told their wonderful story, and as they spake Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you" (verse 36). The two men were sad as He joined them in their walk, and He cared and spent several hours comforting them by the Scriptures. The disciples are terrified and affronted and troubled, and He quieted them by the revelation of Himself. Nothing more is needed in all our troubles than Himself and His word. That our resurrection bodies of flesh and bones can be handled, and that in them we can eat and drink, is clear from verses 89-43, and chapter xxii, 29.

In Biblical days silver and gold coins were struck of such weight that one of them represented the value of a particular animal, says the Chicago News. Thus the word kesitah (used in Genesis), translated "pieces of money," means literally a lamb. The Latin pecunary comes from pecus, a general name for sheep and the smaller animals. In early times coins bore figures of a horse, a bull or a hog, together with the names of the animals pictured. Afterward, as values changed, the figures upon the coins no longer bore representations of their value in cattle, but figures representing a rose, an eagle, etc. A Lame Excuse. "A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared: "You didn't challenge me! "N-no, sir," faltered the sentinel, saluting. "Well, why didn't you?" the colonel demanded. "Excuse me, sir," said the sentinel, "but I thought—I beg your pardon, sir—I thought you was a camel." English Schoolboy Blunders.

A QUERY ABOUT ONIONS. A reader makes inquiry as to the matter of raising onions. The land intended for the patch should be as free as possible from weed seeds, and it is better if it was plowed last fall. Onions are heavy feeders on soil fertility and for this reason the land on which they are to be grown should be rich. As soon as the frost is out the land should be given a shallow plowing or thorough disking and then harrowed and floated. The seeder should be regulated so as to put the rows about sixteen inches apart, while the seed gauge should be set so as to sow the seed from an inch td and an inch and a half apart. Before deciding how thick to sow the seed it is well to test its germinating power. In his own experience the writer has found it more satisfactory to sow the seed a bit too thick and thin when the plants were three or four inches high, than to sow sparingly and have from half to two-thirds of a stand, for it takes just as much time to cultivate a part of a crop as a full crop. One should start the cultivation as soon as the slim green rows can be seen, and this should be kept up at frequent intervals and particularly following heavy rains, and with soil that is likely to pack and bake. Where the soil is none too rich it may be well to apply fertilizers. For this purpose a mixture of $25 pounds of taugek, $80 of bone meal and $25 pounds of muriate of potash has been found to give very satisfactory results. This should be supplied with the drill close to the seed rows. Some onion growers give a second application when the plants are about six inches when the fertilizer being scattered close to the rows. In deciding what varieties to grow, one should be guided by the preference prevailing in the markets one would be most likely to ship to. One of the most popular varieties is the Red Globe, and it not only fetches a good price, but is a good keeper and is prized by the housewives who use them. For the northern portions of the country, where there is danger of early September frosts, every effort should be made to get the seed in as soon as the condition of the soil will permit so as to insure early opening. A dollar or two, more or less, in the initial cost of the seed is a small matter in a crop that will gross between $200 and $300. Hence none but the best seed should be used. If it is good and has strong germinating power three pounds will be ample to sow an acre of land. CARING FOR BROOD SOWS. The Kansas experiment station has been carrying on some experiments during the past three years along the line of the care of brood sows that should be of definite practical value to hog raisers everywhere. In 1911 from thirty-three of the station sows litters averaging 7.6 per sow were raised. The next year twelve Duroc-Jersey sows weaned ninety-six plugs. Last year an equally good showing was made from a still larger number of sows. The care of the litters was started when the sows were bred. The mothers were forced to take a moderate amount of exercise every day during the period of gestation. The feeds given during the period included corn, shorts, wheat bran, tankage, oilmeal and alfalfa hay. For the early portion of the period the ration consisted of a little corn, some shorts and tankage and all the alfalfa hay the sows would eat. Bran and oilmeal were added the last few weeks. The alm in feeding was to bring to the sows to farrowing time in a laxative condition and in good thrift and medium flesh. WAS HE WORTH IT? Farmers of those conservative sections where the idea seems to be deeply rooted that the way their grandfathers did agriculturally is plenty good enough today and where no effort is made to hide contempt for the county agricultural expert should be interested in the following record of ten months' work of such a demonstrator who is in the employ of Merrick county, Neb. In the period mentioned he traveled 9,040 miles in answering the calls for assistance which he received from the farmers, in the course of which travel he visited 543 farms. He had 478 callers on Saturdays in his office, had 2,000 telephone talks, received 200 letters from his employers, the farmers, wrote them 800 letters and spoke at twenty meetings, at which 2,000 farmers gathered. In addition to numerous field demonstrations he vaccinated over 2,000 hogs, valued at $17,000, among which there was a loss from cholera of but 3 per cent. He spotted forty cows that were of the star boarder stripe and weren't giving milk enough to pay for their feed. Did this man earn his salary? POOR SEED CORN AGAIN. H. M. Cottrell, agricultural commissioner of the Rock Island lines, has lately sent out warnings to the farmers of the middle western states that the seed corn that is available in much of the territory tributary to this system is of very low grade this year. He states that there is very little good seed in southern Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and northwestern Texas, seed from last year's crop being unsafe to plant and much of the 1912 crop showing poor germination. He further warns farmers against buying seed corn outside of their own counties and particularly from any considerable distance, as a reduced yield is almost sure to result. J.C. Pijg Society Woman a Candidate For State Senator of Colorado. Colorado is to witness an interesting campaign for the office of state senator. Mrs. James J.Brown, prominent in Newport and Denver society, is the candidate in opposition to Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson. Mrs. Brown is a survivor of the Titanic disaster. While Denver is her home, she has of late years spent much time in the east. Her niece, whom she chaperoned, was recently married to William J. Harper, Jr., of New York, and since then she has felt she had more leisure to devote to personal and public affairs. Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson became widely known through the fact that she was the first woman elected to the office of state senator. She is a good public speaker and has lectured throughout the country. In the senate she gave her attention to a bill intended to ameliorate the condition of women and children—a field in which the woman legislator may find much opportunity for usefulness. Appreciation of Cats. Cats have many sins for which to answer, but some of them should be forgotten for a little while in recognition of the act done by one wise and faithful cat in a suburb of another city, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some time ago this animal awakened its master from a sound sleep by its persistent pawing. On getting his eyes open the man instantly realized that his house was on fire. Having time to check the dames, he finally put them out. There is no doubt that cats vary much in disposition and intelligence. Some resemble dogs very much in their faithfulness, while others, like the cats in Kipling's "Just So" story, like to "walk by themselves" and are not interested in people. The suburban cat is not always appreciated by neighbors who love birds and who see in the feline only a bitter enemy of bird life. When one loves both cat and birds it is hard to reconcile such a viewpoint. One way to help matters is to keep pussy in the house every night during nesting time, for there are more depredations during the night than in the daytime. Dishwashing Problems. That dishwashing problem, we all know, is always with us! Labor may be saved by wiping greasy plates with a piece of paper before putting them in the water. If the plates are scraped with a knife before putting them in the dishpan a lot of unnecessary washing can be saved. In cleaning forks, which are really awkward things, for so much lodges between the prongs, a stiff brush is preferable to a cloth, and in drying glasses a warmed cloth gives excellent results. These may seem trifling matters, and perhaps they are, but they save both time and labor—and temper, too, sometimes. Saucepan covers are often hung up exposed to the air and, where gas is used, to fumes which have a discoloring effect. The result is a great deal of unnecessary polishing and cleaning, which might all be avoided if the covers were inclosed in calico bags or even in paper covers, cut to shape and pasted together so that they could be easily slipped on and off. The frequent burnishing by this simple method would be avoided. Lighting a Fire. A capital way to light a fire quickly if sticks of wood are not obtainable is to put a few pieces of newspaper at the bottom of grate and soak a few lumps of coke for a minute or two with kerosene. Place these on the paper and apply a match. The flame will be found to "get hold" immediately and in a very few minutes there will be quite a good fire. ALFALFA. What makes the landscape look so fair; What blossoms bright perfume the air; What plant repays the farmer's toll, And will enrich the wormout soil? Alfalfa! What is the crop that always pays, Which may be cut each forty days, Resisting drought, the frost and heat; Whose roots reach down full twenty feet? Alfalfa! What grows in loam and clay and sand; What lifts the mortgage off the land; What crop is cut three times a year, And of never a failure do you hear? Alfalfa! What makes the swine so healthy feel, And never raise a hungry squeal; The wholesome food that never fails To put three curls into their tails? Alfalfa! What makes all other stock look nice, And brings the highest market price; What dills the milk pails, feeds the ear, And makes the old cow almost laugh? Alfalfa! FLOUR MILL ON FARM. How One North Dakota Man Gets Greatest Return From Grans A North Dakota realizes the maximum returns from his wheat and rye crops by converting these grains into flour which he sells at $3 a hundred pounds. In his locality it was practically impossible to obtain good rye, graham or whole wheat flour, so this farmer started growing and grinding his own grain. As he became proficient the quality of the flour improved until finally his neighbors were annually demanding his surplus at handsome prices. This keen demand for high quality flour increased until he decided that it would pay him to equip a small mill thoroughly and to embark in the business on a commercial scale. A stream of considerable velocity flows through his farm and furnishes the power with which to operate his machinery. He equipped his miniature mill with a crusher, a grinder, a cleaner and an elevator. The income from his flour business during the first two years paid for his plant and equipment and yielded him a good net profit. This miller eliminates all the charges that usually go to the middle man. He annually raises about eighty acres of wheat and thirty-five acres of rye. Some of this grain he sells as a cash crop on account of inadequate bin room in which to store it, but more than half of the crop is converted into flour to be used for human food. A gasoline engine is also maintained as a reserve source of power in case the water power should give out. The marketable flour is neatly sacked and sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Annually the rye and wheat have a farm value of about 60 and $2 cents a bushel respectively where they are sold as cash crops. At a slight expense as regards time and labor this shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat and rye—that in the bulk are worth approximately $1.07 and $1.10 a hundred pounds—into excellent flour that sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Yearly this progressive farmer is gaining an attractive income from his milling operations, since he also grinds grain for his neighbors. This labor in nowise interferes with his farm work, as the greater share of the mill work is done during the period when field work is relatively slack—Country Gentleman. --- A Handy Harness Box. The next time a new set of harness is bought take a box and fit it with doors so that it may be closed tight. Hang the harness in this when it is not in use. It is a surprise how long it will look neat and stay in good shape. when cared for in this manner. A box 2 by 3 by 4 feet high is a good size. Screw harness hooks will make good hangers. A little box may be attached to the inside of the door for-holding combs, brush, etc. Plowing In Winter There is a diversity of opinion as to the advisability of plowing in winter. It is generally conceded, however, that sod lands should be plowed in the winter season. The freezing and thawing of the soil put it in much better condition than it can be put by the plow and harrow after the spring has opened. Winter plowing also destroys many insects that would damage crops if they were allowed to live. There will be much more moisture laid up in the soil and saved for the use of the growing crop the next year if the plowing is done during the winter season than there would be if it were left until spring. The capillary connection with the subsol will have time to be renewed if the plowing is done early. Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish. A fine line of cins. pipes and tobacco.

Success In Assured if Proper Directions Are Followed. By H. D. HUGHES, Chief of bureau of farm crops, Iowa agr- cultural experiment station. Success does not always come with first attempts with alfalfa, but that should not be discouraging. The percent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the seeding of alfalfa failed without inoculation, the mere addition of 300 pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field or from a sweet clover patch brought success. After inoculation the soil produced a fine growth of alfalfa. In other sections of the state, particularly in the south-central, the application of from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds of lime per acre brought success when various other trials without lime failed. Perhaps the most important thing in securing a stand of alfalfa is the liberal use of manure even on soils above the average in fertility. Its application before plowing has increased AN IOWA ALFALFA FIELD. the yield of alfalfa notably. On all soils below the average the use of manure has been absolutely essential to securing a satisfactory stand and yield. In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying seed for other crops, the highest priced seed is usually the cheapest. In order that the seed may all be sowed under proper conditions for germination, it should preferably be put in with an ordinary grain drill, and in average soil covered to a depth of about one inch. To distribute the seed uniformly it is a good plan to set the drill so as to sow only about 'ten pounds per acre and then to go over the land twice—for example, crossing the field north and south first and then east and west. There has been much discussion regarding the variety of alfalfa best suited to Iowa conditions. Since the per cent of winter killing has been comparatively low and seed of the harder varieties is very high priced and also uncertain as to purity the only variety which can well be recommended for general use is that known as the common American. This is grown almost altogether in such states as Kansas and Nebraska. Seed grown on nonirrigated land, under conditions so nearly as possible the same as are found in Iowa, is usually preferable. No hay should be removed the year that the alfalfa is seeded. Spring seeding may be clipped once or twice when necessary to keep down the weeds, but a good growth should cover the ground when freezing weather comes on in the fall. Usually the alfalfa should be cut when about one-tenth of the heads are in bloom, which generally is early in June, as this is about the time that the new shoots begin to appear at the bottom of the stalk. Much has been said regarding the difficulty of handling and curing the first cutting, but reports from those men in Iowa who have the largest acrenes state that alfalfa is not more difficult to cure than red clover. A number have said that it is easier to cure. Various methods of curing have been used successfully. In dry, sunny weather alfalfa cut one afternoon may be raked the following day, put in bunches and much of it stacked the same day. It is important that as few of the leaves as possible be lost. In order to save the leaves many growers rake the alfalfa into windrows as soon as it has wilted and before the leaves are dry, bunch the hay with a rake as soon as dry enough to stack and haul it at once. This method also eliminates the labor of cooking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by a number of men who handle large acreages. Where one has much alfalfa hay to cure a side delivery rake will be found to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cocked it is cut late in the afternoon or the morning, raked before dinner and put in cocks in the afternoon. Here it should be left for two or three days. The use of hay covers assures one of little difficulty in curing even the first cutting and produces a hay of very excellent quality. The Care of Eggs. The perishable nature of an egg is too little understood. Dampness, heat above 60 degrees, strong odors, drafts, delay in marketing, are factors which very quickly destroy freshness and good quality of eggs. See that the grass is pulled away from the base of small trees. Better put wire protectors about them so mice or rabbits cannot injure them during the winter. They Are to Be Very Popular For Spring Wear. X NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN. The common sense costume shown here is a Poiret creation. It is intended to be worn under a spring coat, and its lines particularly adapt it for youthful figures. Black and white checked serge is combined with plain black cloth. It is ornamented with ball buttons in black and white. The vogue of checks is foreshadowed in this as in many other spring models. Much attention may be given to buttons, as on all the well made tailor makes the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapus lazull, cornaline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found. NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines. Illustrated here is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow in wired black tulle is also illustrated here. At present the lavish display of beautiful neckwear in the shops indicates a continuance of the styles of 1. SPRING NECKWEAR. the midwinter season and the introduction of many new novelties. Designs vary from the small, trim roll back collars to the full, lace edged, quaintly fashioned berthas. The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness. Even the Plauen collars are lacer than ever and some very prettily designed. These show up particularly well on a dress of dark serge. Collar and cuff sets of dainty embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze. Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD ```markdown ``` No reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods. These articles are written for the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcomings of ordinary farming. For instance, while I urge the advisability of growing fruit in localities which have the advantage of good markets, I should dislike to see farmers in the central states or anywhere else devote themselves to this single industry. That would be about as foolish as exclusive grain raising or dairying. The orchard belongs in a scheme of mixed farming, together with poultry and hogs. Important facts for fruit growers are that orchard land may be made to pay double and the fertility of the soil maintained without extraordinary effort. While the trees are coming to maturity land earns nothing for five or six years unless there is a plan of vegetable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soil is benefited by the necessary cultivation. Unless such a system of cropping is established a nonbearing orchard is apt to be neglected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. The cultivation of vegetables or small fruit in an orchard is therefore for the purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It goes further than this, however, for it makes the land return a living income even in unfavorable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barnyard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone meal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn, except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard land do double duty, but restores the soil fertility. If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a thorough way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of manure as the source of nitrogenous organic matter. It is shown that a cheap way to grow legumes is to apply ground limestone and rock phosphate. The cost of this treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which should not seriously interfere with this system of fertilization. POTATO NOTES. To secure an early supply of new potatoes next season plant the tubers of any good early variety in pots and start them in the house. Four or five inch pots can be used, filled only about two-thirds full of soil, leaving room for a top dressing of soil to be supplied as the plants grow, after the manner of hilling up potatoes when grown in the garden. One potato is sufficient for each pot. Time the planting so the plants will be well started in the pots when they are to be transplanted in the garden at the time the tubers are usually planted outdoors. If there is a well ventilated, cool, light place, such as a cold frame or cool greenhouse, in which to grow them potatoes can be raised in pots and full sized tubers developed very much earlier than the first crop from the garden. Ten inch pots will be sufficiently large. Rub off all the eyes except the strongest for pot culture. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or idle, but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreisel's "A Traveler at Forty." A Famous Old English Church. The Church of St. Botolph in Boston, England, is a long, low, decorated building, with a high perpendicular tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern, locally known as Boston Stump. The tower is 300 feet high. The light and spacious interior has very lofty arches resting on slender pillars. The church is said to have as many doors as days in the week, as many windows as weeks in the year, as many pillars as months in the year and as many steps up to its tower as days in the year.

Alabama's Iran Ores The boom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., in 1832, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampedes which followed such discoveries as the Cosstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good cooling coal and of the limestone requisite for furning, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world—Argonaut.

One of the signs of the times which gives us no little gratification is the interest which is now being manifested on the part of certain of our young men in their qualification and registration as voters. This is as it should be and meets our heartiest commendation and approval. For a long time, we have striven to impress upon our men, both young and old, the duty which they owe their state and country as registered voters. As a registered voter, one reserves to himself the right to say who shall and who shall not hold office in his community. In the exercise of such a right, he virtually makes himself a part of the government. In a large measure he has to do with the making of the laws. The conduct of officials is reviewed by him and upon the same he passes judgment. The future prosperity of his community is largely determined by the way in which he excises his right of franchise. What a sacred duty then rests upon the men who votes! What a sacred duty is left undone by the man who fails to qualify himself in order that he might exercise his right of franchise! Judging by the few with whom we have come in contact, the calibre, of our young men who are now interesting themselves in the making of themselves full-fledged citizens, we have no hesitancy in saying that they are those whose embodiment of manly qualities make us duly proud of them. The Tribune would be delighted to see a registration list made up of at least five thousand Negroes. It can be and ought to be had. We regard it as a sore reflection on our people to note that after these many years of freedom and enlightenment less than nine hundred of our people in the proud county of Chatham have made themselves able to vote. The young men who are now registering themselves as voters ought to be commended. They ought to be encouraged. They have taken a step in the right direction. Believing as we do, it is our sincerest desire that others may follow in their footsteps and do likewise. Of unusual gratification to us is the apparent adamantine tenacity of purpose with which the teachers of the city are possessed with regard to the prospective convention of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, despite the feeble attempt of the promoter and a few of his spineless followers to make it appear that everything is roseate and that the people have forgotten the ignorance which was theirs in the extending of the invitation to the National body. The teachers still feel, and they have a right to, that they should have been consulted in the matter of the entertainment of guests at their private homes. This has not been done, neither before the invitation was extended nor since. In refusing to give their support to the entertainment of the visiting teachers, the local teachers are acting within their rights and while the visitors are made the innocent center of the difficulty, which is to be regretted, yet, by force of circumstances this could not be avoided. The present attempt, through widespread publication to make it appear that all goes well, is of little consequence. Here and there may be found jelly fishes who in order to gain a place on the programme, may fall back on their words, but we believe, that the rank and file of the teachers will stand up to the end against further asurpation of their rights by an individual on account of their spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness. The recent decision of the South Atlantic Medical Association to prosecute to the limit all quack doctors or persons practicing medicine without a license, found in this section, rings true of the noble profession which its members represent. There can be no doubt in any one's mind that there are many so-called "doctors" who have never seen within the walls of a medical college. They are to be found in nearly every community where they wax and grow fat upon the gullibility of a few. They ply their wares consisting of herbs, roots, bark, highly colored water and the like, sometimes under cover and sometimes openly. As a result, many of our people who are easily fooled, lead themselves to an early grave by allowing these usurpers to serve them in a supposed-to-be medical capacity, when as a matter of fact, the quacks are simply filching them out of their hard earned money and in nine cases out of ten, aggravating a disease which some licensed doctor could arrest easily. Our people throughout the city can but applaud this recent move on the part of the association. They are aiming their fire in the right direction. Slowly perhaps but surely, the root doctor, the quack and the like must go. The superior intelligence of the times demands this. The South Atlantic Medical Association is now blazing the way for the absolute extermination of the quack and root man. Let the people of the community rally as one man to the support of this movement which has so much to do with the health and longevity of our people. Among the Masons THE BESETTING SIN Every now and then there is a special cry goes up to heaven on behalf of the sick. We hear plenty of sermons in and around the Lodge rooms about the duty of the strong to aid the weak, the prosperous to assist the temporarily distressed, the well to visit the sick, and so on; but—words,ule words. Selfishness is the besetting sin of Americans. No denying that. Excuses for remissness are free and easy and have to be accepted. But why should so little heed be taken of the sick? The Lodge will send a bouquet, no doubt; so we let it go at that. A few days ago I learned that a brother was lying in one of our hospitals, dangerously ill. I said: "I'll go over to see him." That evening I allowed some trivial affair to take me elsewhere. Next morning I called up the hospital and was told that the patient had apparently rested well the previous night and seemed improving. I said: "I'll go to see him." That evening I was detained at the office beyond the hour for admitting visitors. I again called up the hospital and was told that the patient was sinking and no visitors would be allowed. Next day he was dead. That all. I am telling you this, brothers—and it's absolutely true—just to emphasize the point that selfishness is our besetting sin, whether we are willing to admit it or no. It doesn't help matters that I try to console myself with the excuse that my intentions were good. I did not think it worth while to put myself to a little extra trouble to visit a dying brother. I'll make no further excuses for myself nor for any one else who is too deeply engrossed in his own affairs to consider for a moment those less fortunate.—Masonic Sentinel SLIPSHOD PROCESSIONS. The Masonic fraternity owes it to itself to maintain dignity and decorum in its public appearances. Not long ago the writer chanced to be in an Illinois town on business and noticed a Masonic funeral procession coming down the street. Being interested in everything that the fraternity does he stopped to watch it pass by. The brethren were straggling along without proper intervals between the marching files, some wore gloves and some were without. Some had their aprons concealed under the coat, while such as were in evidence showed no acquaintance with the laundry. Some carried canes and some were smoking. The whole appearance was careless, slovenly and indecorous. The proper clothing for all Masonic appearances is dark apparel, clean white gloves and aprons and no canes, umbrellas or cigars. The world judges the fraternity by what it sees of it, and no lodge can properly reflect the high standards of Masonry which is careless or negligent in its public appearance.—Illinois Freemason. BEAUTY OF FREEMASONY Beauty is indispensible in Nature and Freemasonry. Without it a Masonic Lodge cannot exist, for the beauty column is one of its three supports. There must be wisdom to contrive, strength --- to support and beauty to adorn all works. Everywhere and in every being and thing there is beauty, and to "love the beautiful" is a Masonic duty as well as privilege. Freemasonry is defined as "a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols." The Corinthian column is the architectural symbol of beauty, and the sun, at meridian height, is sublime natural emblem. The net work, lily work and pomgranates on the famous pillars of the Temple of Solomon, and the decorations of the Temple itself, all proclaim the importance and essentialness of beauty in Freemasonry. The use of the lily in all this ornamentation speaks volumes in behalf of the Masonic idea of beauty, for it is a symbol of divinity, purity, abundance and love, complete in perfection, charity and benediction, and it outrivals Solomon in all his glory. It also is a symbol of the world, as well as the most excellent of the flowers. This being true, it especially become, all Freemasons to cultivate the beautiful in morals, in manhood, and in all the affairs of life. By so doing they will attain the beauty of mind, and heart, and soul, that is divinely approved and blessed and that endures eternally.—John W. Brown, in Square and compass. THE THREE LODGES The old leetures of the eighteenth century taught symbolically that there were three lodges opened at three different periods in Masonic history; these were the Holy Lodge, the Sacred Lodge and the Royal Lodge. The Holy Lodge was opened in the tabernacle in the wilderness, and over it presided Moses, Aholiab and Bezaleel; the Sacred Lodge was opened on Mount Moriah during the building of the first Temple, and was presided over by Solomon King of Israel, Hiram King of Tyre and Hiram the Builder the Royal Lodge was opened among the ruins of the first Temple, at the building of the second, and was presided over by Joshua, Zerubbabel and Haggai. Though presented as a tradition, it is really only a symbol intended to illustrate three important events in the progress of Masonie science. —Mackey. Devotion to God and devotion to country go together unitedly in the history of the world, says the Voice-Review. Reverence and patriotism as twin qualities mutually support each other. The Masonic Order, therefore in its beautiful teaching of reverence to God and sacred things necessarily promotes a true spirit of loyalty to country on the part of its members. Three hundred and thirteen lodges and chapters-meet every week in London, England. Monday, 61; Tuesday, 67; Wednesday 69; Thursday 57; Friday, 46; Saturday, 12.

SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Corn is all right for the fattening steer or hog, but it should be fed sparingly to pregnant farm animals. Sac and Ida counties, in Iowa, last year produced 500,000 bushels of popcorn, or more than is grown in any other state in the Union. Present appearances in a weather way would seem to indicate in favorable maple sugar season. The warm days, cold nights and "sugar" snow give promise of a good flow of sap from the sugar bush. According to the latest census reports, Iowa leads all other states in the number of fowls kept within her borders, the number being 23,482,880. Of this number three-fourths are estimated to be egg-producers. Arnold Thompson of Canby, a Minnesota lad, who some time ago took a course in corn breeding and judging at the local high school, recently captured $125 worth of prizes for exhibits of the Silver King variety of corn. --- A strip of zinc put on the live coals in the stove or furnace will help materially in ridding the flues and chimneys of soot. A handful of damp salt put on the fire when the chimney is burning out will tend to stop the blaze. In the copper mines of Michigan rats seem to be viewed as benefactors rather than pests, as they are most everywhere else. In the mines they serve as scavengers. They are protected by the men and are often fed from their dinner pails. Poultry experience seems to point to the fact that seldom is it profitable to keep hens after they are two years old. A pullet will lay more eggs than a hen in her second year, but as a rule the chicks hatched from such eggs are not so vigorous as those from the older birds. Aty and mildewy hay is credited by veterinarians with responsibility for the death of many horses during the past two years in several sections from so called blind staggers. The specific organism responsible for the disease has not been isolated, but there seems to be a very close connection between eating food of the above character and prevalence of the disease. Plowing may be straight so far as the furrow is concerned, yet be pretty poor work as regards the condition in which it leaves the soil. Good plowing not only means straight furrows, but that which is deep enough for the requirements of the crop to be raised, the character of the soil and the amount of moisture which will be available. Furthermore, good plowing should be such that it will cover all vegetable matter turned under so that subsequent disking or harrowing will not disturb it. --- While it is well to lay a good deal of stress upon sowing or planting the best of seed and of giving proper cultivation after a crop is up, it is just as necessary that the soil in which the seed is to be placed should be in the best possible condition. Probably in a majority of cases where poor crop yields are received the hasty and ill preparation of the seed bed is doubtless chiefly responsible. This is a very natural error and is one that the farmer who has too many acres and too little help is likely to fall into We usually think of the corn belt farmer as the one who makes big profits on porkers. There are others. J. K. Smawley, a farmer living eighty miles south of Spokane. Wash., paid $30 apiece a year ago for three Berkshire pigs at the Lewiston (Ida.) stock show. He returned to the same show a year later, and his young pigs won six blue ribbons. As a result of their quality he sold fifteen of the pigs for $35 each, or $525. The owner is now making a tour of the country on the proceeds from these pigs. Secretary Houston of the federal department of agriculture has announced that a new bureau is to be created in the department which is to be devoted to the development of labor saving power and devices for farmers. The bill as introduced by Congressman Rainey, which provides for the new department, proposes that the new bureau shall investigate into all matters pertaining to methods of furnishing power on farms and all labor saving machinery, including the use of electricity, gasoline and steam in propelling farm vehicles and in operating plows, reapers, mowing and thrashing machines, etc. It will look into best methods of heating and lighting farm homes and other buildings as well.

"My friend Wombat says he can't catch up with his orders." "Is he a manufacturer?" "Oh, no. 'Merely a man with a wife and five grownup daughters.'—Philip delphia Ledger. A clergyman was an important witness in a horse dealing case. He gave a somewhat confused account of the transaction in dispute, and the cross-examining counsel, after making several blustering but ineffective attempts to obtain a more satisfactory statement, said: "Pray, sir, do you know the difference between a horse and a cow? "I acknowledge my ignorance," replied the reverend gentleman. "I hardly know the difference between a horse and a cow or between a bull and a bully—only a bull, I am told, has horns, and a bully"—here he made a respectful bow to the advocate—"luckily for me, has none." A vegetable nightcap may be seen in the agricultural museum at Washington. It is the sheath of an immense African flower and is used by the natives as a cap. Turned up around the lower edge, it runs to a point like a tasseled nightcap. Its color is a rich brown, its texture of a fine lacelike quality, and it is strong and durable. "Only a dollar and senstany-eight cents," said the holdup man, disgustedly. "Can you beat it?"

Every 200 or 300 feet there is a cathedral, church, chapel or shrine, and whichever way you look you see people crossing themselves.

He cannot imagine church bells ringing all the time and people praying in the public streets at all hours of day and night. Holding Trade. "You look disgruntled," said the shoe man.

Caton Woodville, the English war artist, painted a large equestrian portrait of the Emperor Frederick of Germany in the handsome white uniform of the Imperial guards, with the magnificent golden helmet crowned by the silver eagle. In his "Random Recollections." Woodville says: "It was a sad task. I painted the portrait shortly after the emperor's death, and the empress was very particular about the color and shape of his eyes. She wore a bracelet with a miniature of one of his eyes painted on ivory in a medallion upon it. She stood beside me for hours holding the bracelet so that I could see it in the best light and not miss any of the details." "I wish," said the head of the firm, "you'd keep an eye on the office boy." "Very well, sir," replied the secretary. "Do you think he has been stealing postage stamps?" "I have no idea what he has been doing, but he's up to mischief of some kind. For three mornings now he has had all my papers placed upon my desk just as they should be, with nothing to indicate that he has been reading the sporting pages.

Herschel in his day revealed the immensities and the eternities as they had never been revealed before, and to us of the present day the universe is much greater than to Herschel and his contemporaries. Five hundred millions of stars are known—500,000,000 flaming suns whirling through space and carrying along with them in all probability systems of planets and satellites. There are stars at all stages of development; from the nebulous mass at the beginning of its star life to the dim red variables flickering as they die out into the darkness. This is the universe, "grand, splendid and sublime," which Flammarion reveals to his readers.—London Everyman. "Say, waiter," said the traveling man to the hotel waiter, "what kind of chicken do you call this?" "That's a Plymouth Rock. I believe," replied the waiter.

Self Disgraced. In Boston, as every one knows, the symphony concerts are viewed in the light of sacred ceremonials. In this connection the story is told of two little girls of a certain family who returned from the music hall "in a state of mind." One of them carried an expression of deep scorn; the other an air of great dejection. "What is the matter, girls?" asked some member of the household. "Was the concert fine?" "The concert was all right," responded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself." "Disgraced herself?" "Yes, she' sneezed in the middle of the symphony."—Philadelphia Ledger. For the Boy's Saba "I want my son to enjoy his boyhood; because he will be a child only once." "That's all well enough, but there's no use in making oneself a slave to one's children." "Then why did you kick so strenuously when your boy asked you for a dime to pay his way into the picture show?" "Sh-sh! I don't want him to overhear. I know he'd be sorry if he spent the money to see that show. I was there myself this afternoon."—Chicago Record-Merald.

He ain't my style."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Answering the Phone. Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to callers, he will generally answer the telephone. Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call. Canadian "Alligators" The unsophisticated visitor to the lumber districts of Canada may occasionally see what is to him a very remarkable sight, a primitive looking steamboat high and dry on a road, crawling along quite comfortably, apparently just as much at home as in its natural element. These boats are known as "alligators," and are used for towing the rafts of logs down the rivers and lakes to the mills, says the Wide World Magazine. Sometimes it is desired to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat is then hauled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power. Musical. "I just adore caviar," said Mrs. Gottit. "Isn't he as well singer?" answered Mrs. Newrich.-Columbia Jester. THE HEROIC SPIRIT. In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles. The littleness of the events and the instuments we are dealing with are forever cheating as out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so. Lucerne has on its statette book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forthis the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze: Making it Last A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was sungly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: 'No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years; and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shouldn't be wetted now!"—London Express. To Make Shaving Easier. To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan: Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaseline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked—London Field. The Real Thing. Mrs. Knicker-Is your husband' hard to get along with?

LFNGTON STREET INTING The Sleepless Seven Mexican Hats PLEASURE Pleasure has its place in life, but the man who chooses pleasure as the object of his life has no real haven, but is like a boat that beats up and down and drifts to and fro, merely to feel the motion of the wind. When the voyage of life is done he has reached no port, he has accomplished nothing.—Henry van Dyke. Vicious Snine. A Dublin gentleman was spending his vacation with some friends in the west of Ireland. As he was being driven to his destination he noticed a bog that promised good shooting and asked his jarvey if there were any snippe in it. "Shnippe, I lost, sor? Did ye say snippe? Shure, if ye wint into that bog wildout a gun they'd ate yee!" Triumph of Mind. Victim of Delusion—Doctor. I'm awfully afraid I'm going to have brain fever. Doctor—Pooh, pooh, my dear friend! That is all an illusion of the senses. There is no such thing as fever. You have no fever.

Victim—Oh, doctor, what a load you have taken from my—from my—I have a mind, haven't I, doctor?—Chicago Tribune. "This paper," said Languid Lewis, "tells about a horse runnin' away with a woman and she was laid up for six weeks." "That ain't so worse," rejoined Boastful Benjamin. "A friend of mine once ran away with a horse, and he was laid up for six years."—New York Globe. Favorites of the Gods. Abyssinla is one of the countries to which foreigners and their own people have given different names. "Abyssinla" is derived from an Arabic word meaning mixture or confusion, in allusion to the mixed character of the inhabitants. They prefer to call themselves Ethiopians, and it certainly is a fine old name, which makes even Menelik's alleged descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba seem a modern detail, for the Ethiopians, according to the Greeks, were the first inhabitants of the earth, or, at any rate, the first who worshipped the gods. According to Homer, they were the favorites of the gods and the justest of all men. —London Chronicle. A Precisian. A New York physician who has recently transferred his activities to the Hub tells of a Bostonian who, like most of his townsmen, is a precisian in the matter of English and who had occasion not long ago to consult the aforesaid doctor. After ascertainment of symptoms the physician said: "What you need more than anything else is a tonic in the shape of fresh air." Whereupon the Hubbite waxed sarcastic and inquired: "Before we proceed further would you mind telling me what is the shape of fresh air?"—Lippincott's. The Crab In the Oyster "The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."—Exchange. The Oldest Treaty. The oldest text of a real treaty now in existence is that of the convention between Rameses II., king of Egypt, and the prince of Kheta, which embraces the articles of a permanent offensive and defensive alliance, with clauses providing for the extradition of emigrants, deserters, criminals and skilled workmen. This treaty was drawn up in the fourteenth century, B. C., and is the earliest record that we have of any international transaction. Brilliant Future. "How long have you been dieting now, Mr. Stout?" "A little more than six months." "Do you notice any beneficial results?" "I should say I did. They are wonderful. I have lost fully two pounds. Think of it! I'll only have to keep at it for about eighteen years to get down to 200."-Chicago Record-Herald. The Easiest Way. Mrs. Newlywed—That table seems awfully rickety. Why, it creaks if you put your hand to it. Shopkeeper—Well, that's all the style, ma'am. It's built that way on purpose. You can't read an account of fashionable dinner parties without noticing how the tables groaned under the weight of the delicacies. Better take this one, ma'am.—New York Post. Good form Unneighborly Noises. Lack of neighborly responsibility seems to be conspicuous through all ranks of society. You can understand the conduct of the knife grinder who blows his horn or rings his bell under your window, regardless of the rest or work he may be interrupting, just as you can excuse the yells of the itinerant vegetable or fruit vender who cries his wares raucously along the street. These noise producers are working for their living, and their calls and clangings are part of their stock in trade. Without them you would not know their goods were offered for sale. You can even tolerate the banging of the beaters on rugs on the roof or in the back yard, because you know the cleaning must be done, and it is being performed in the only locality that presents itself. But what good is gained by the unnecessary honkings of an automobile which wake the echoes of your street at midnight? Why should the collectors of ashes and garbage make unnecessary noise in the discharge of their duties? And to come within the house and in touch with those who are supposed to have gentler tendencies, why should persons of like nature with ourselves keep so called music—either vocal or instrumental—going at an hour when ordinary, every day folk are supposed to be asleep? Rings For Bridegrooms A custom rather strictly observed in Germany is the exchange of rings by bride and bridegroom on the wedding day, and it is a very pretty idea. "Why shouldn't the man have some outward symbol to show that he is married as well as a woman?" asked a little dark eyed bride who had used this double ring ceremony. And why not? Very few brides now select a plain diamond solitaire that was for so long considered the only proper engagement token; the larger the stone the more the girl loved to flash it. Now a diamond is used if the girl wishes it, but it is cut and set in some individual manner and is made with the promise that no duplicates will be sold. Some new rings are being shown which on first appearance seem to be very handsome seals, but on closer examination show that they are to be divided when the "time" comes into two separate rings. They are made to order, as is much of the jewelry worn nowadays by those who wish to have exclusive styles in their articles of adornment. Table Manners. When we consider good table manners in a general way there is one point that is emphasized. Quietness without haste is the thing that will do more than anything to give attractive table manners. Any one can be quiet and dignified. It may be a difficult thing to master the uses of the different utensils and to keep in mind the order of courses; it may seem a stupendous task to review the different positions and ways of eating different foods, but it is the easiest thing in the world to do things in a quiet manner. They are the essence of good table manners, and on this foundation it is possible to build an intricate structure that will take you through any formal dinner in satisfaction. Dancing Etiquette. "When dancing with a young girl" asks a perplexed, masculine reader, "is it necessary to continue dancing with her—perhaps three or four dances—until some other man relieves you by asking the girl for a dance? Is there no way in which a man can gracefully get away?" The nice thing to do is to dance with the girl until another partner comes to claim her, but in case you have the next dance with another girl you must make your excuses gracefully, explaining the situation, and then go to claim the other girl. If you are free for the succeeding dances you should remain with your first partner until some one else relieves you of this duty. Street Introductions. An introduction is not always necessary when people meet on a public street, but it prevents a momentary embarrassment to say, "Miss C., Mr. M." Such an introduction need not be considered a basis for a future acquaintance. Merely to bow and smile in acknowledgment, with a pleasant word, is all that is necessary, and if the lady does not choose to recognize the man in meeting him afterward that is her privilege. Consideration For Servanta Respect your mald's privacy. Make it a point always to knock on her door before entering, and if you have occasion to go to the kitchen in the evening always knock there too. If practicable do not disturb her at night. Some women have a most pernicious habit of getting their malds up to unhook clothes, while others will remember in the small hours a number of orders that should have been given at dinner time. [Name] MISS DELANO AND HER MEDAL. The Red Cross society, whose work for humanity has been so great, has enlarged its sphere of usefulness. It has established a town and country nursing service through whose instrumentality the dwellers in evan isolated communities may be assured of proper care in times of illness. The object of this is to encourage the employment of visiting nurses in remote districts where it is difficult to obtain the services of a physician. It was through Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the national committee on nursing service, that this new department of the work was established. Because of the splendid efficiency to which she has brought the nursing work of the Red Cross the gold medal of merit has been awarded to Miss Delano by the president. In presenting her with the medal President Wilson said: "It is due to Miss Delano's devoted and efficient labors that a splendid corps of over 4,000 of the best trained nurses in the country have been enrolled in the Red Cross for active service in time of war or disaster. Not only has this large corps been enrolled, but by means of 110 local committees a system has been established that enables the Red Cross to mobilize within a few hours' time anywhere in the country the number of nurses required for active service." Miss Delano is one of the most distinguished members of the nursing profession in America. She had established a high reputation before she joined the Red Cross. She is a graduate of the Bellevue Training School For Nurses. Her first case is said to have been that of the late Abram S. Hewitt, then mayor of New York. She distinguished herself by her work in the yellow fever epidemic in Florida. She has held important positions in the west, in Philadelphia and in Buffalo. She was superintendent of the New York municipal training school for women nurses and later of Bellevue hospital, where she instituted many needed reforms. CONVENIENT BAGS. New Models Are Compact and Fitted With Useful Accessories. Manufacturers of fine leather goods are offering exquisite novelties in traveling bags and cases, which are much smaller in size than the heavy, old fashioned types of bags. The responsibility for the change lies with the modern taste for motoring. The woman of 1914 covers such distances and her belongings must be so moderate in size and so easily packed that designers have been at work turning out the most elegant as well as the most convenient form of toilet apparatus. The party bag is a mere trifle to handle and looks almost like a handkerchief in black moire drawn in with a ribbon. It may be concealed in a coat pocket, or there would be space for it in a little hand bag. Within its folds are all the items that go to give a woman the finishing touches for the toilet. Just a little frame keeps all the gold, silver gilt or enameled trifles together, and the contents are all that is required. The prevailing taste leans to easily folded or drawn bags, and some novelties consist of round models of the finest leather, so soft as to crush into very small space. Inside is a frame, and into this are fitted the little implements of the toilet. A tiny hairbrush is set into gold, gilt, enamel or inlaid ivory or tortoise shell. The comb is decorative, and there are small pots for cream, powder, lip salve, tiny bottles for perfume, a miniature toothbrush, diminutive manicure implements and a long thin roll of metal matching the setting of the case that turns out to be a receptacle for needles, cotton and other trifles to mend a rent. The center of some of these collapsible bags is fitted with a waterproof compartment for a sponge. Color enters into many of these fanciful cases, a green leather bag or case containing red, or rose colored fittings, while a yellow bag will have every item in blue enamel or in silver glit. Many and varied are these dainty trifles and devices featuring a season of unusual luxury and elegance. TRY TO BE CHEERFUL. Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be developed and increased, and whoever omits its culture neglects an important duty to himself and to society. The fact that few men can do their best work or think their best thoughts unless a cheerful spirit animates them should be sufficient reason for setting in motion every cause which produces such a point. Tiny Goust. The republic of Goust is a square mile in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been recognized by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 150 weavers. They are ruled by a council of elders and pay no taxes or duties of any sort. This civic unit is so tiny that it has to go abroad for its cure of souls and body, for it has neither physician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Laruns, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie, the coffins being slid downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Same. Just as the family was about to sit down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom slid over. Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate."—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Squn. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it re-elected its host to the municipal chair nine times running.—London Chronicle. Restaurant Affiliation. The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men who had just entered. "Bring me a coffee cake and a cup of coffee," ordered the first man. "I'll take some milk biscuit and a glass of milk," said the second. "Tea buns and a cup of tea, please," remarked the third. "A piece of coconut pie and a cup of cocoa," sald the fourth. The waiter went to the fifth man. "I know what you want," he said. "You want a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of chocolate." "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water."—Judge. Stevensen Carried His Tall Hat Sir Sidney Colvin, in a lecture on "Personal Reminiscences of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any affectation. "R. L. S," said Sir Sidney, "did once possess a frock coat and tall hat, which he acquired for the purposes of a wedding. Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat, and thus we walked down Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's 'Samson Agonistes.'"—London Globe. Illusions. A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to stu the laws of evidence. The majorit persons see what they think ought to see. If a house is rep. haunted it is easier to see a gl there than not. Possibly this account for the widespread belief that luminous appearances of one kind or another accompany earthquake shocks. Scientific men do not believe these stories, and they usually dwindle on investigation, yet they continue to circulate on both sides of the Atlantic, says a writer in Cosmos, Paris, translated for the Literary Digest. Memory. Dear as remembered kisses after death. All our sensations are memory, some say. It may be. It may not be. But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend is a composite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots and sap of us—Kansas City Star. We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

Statistics may tell the story of its population, geography may enable one to point out its location and display cards may delineate its beauty, to an extent, but none of these, all of these combined, will fail to place the real beauty and wealth of the city and the remarkable hospitality of its citizens plainly before one's eyes. Located in the south center of "wire grass" Georgia, Valdosta is beyond cavil, its capital. As such it draws upon this fertile section of Georgia for its marketable products as a magnet draws upon steel fibre. Being in contiguous territory to Brooks county, famous as being the richest and most productive of Georgia's counties, the products of this great unit of the state are plentiful in its markets, being a splendid supplement to the many, valuable food products native to the soil of Lowndes. The markets of the city are, consequently, well supplied and the thrift and industry of the citizens make it impossible that any of these products grow stale. The relationship of the races is congenial, each race recognizing in a business way the rights and privileges of the other and each combines with the other to make the hum of industry ever audible to the ear of progress. Right in the midst of the largest business places of the city, the Negro business men have shied their castors and are plying their trade. Patterson street for both residences and business is one of the main thoroughfares. The Thos. Hudson Investment Company is on this street and owns the two story brick building in which it is located. The Rev. A. B. Walton, undertaker, is on this street and is doing an excellent business. Mr. Duckett's drug store is on this street and is kept busy dispensing his wares. Doctors Miller, Stricklin, the Union Mutual and the Pilgrim's Health and Life Insurance Companies are all on Patterson street and occupy rooms of the Investment Company's building. There is no friction whatever but peace and happiness reign supreme. It is impossible to remember all of the prominent business men and fellow-citizens we met in Valdosta. It is well, therefore, to note a few because in this great city one is all, and all are one in thought and sentiment. The tremendous volume of trade in the city has such propelling forces as Thomas Hudson, the Larkins, Mr. Johnson. These gentlemen and many others are doing good business along the grocer's line and are being patronized by all the people. In fact, there is no question of patronage in Valdosta, no agitation is needed. Profs. Wiley and McDew are teaching young "Ideas to shoot" and we were pleased to note the splendid work of Prof. Wiley. It was not our pleasure to see Prof. Dew in action; but we feel safe in believing that in a march of progress such as is seen in the city of Valdosta, all units are busy in giving it impetus. Mr. and Mrs. McKinzie, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Walton and that prince of good fellows G. Taylor exhausted endeavor to make our visit pleasant. The entire people of Valdosta joined and we are indebted to them all for the splendid manner which made us leave Valdosta reluctantly but fagged and sleepy. Edward Winfred Sherman. St. Paul Church Sunday was high day at St. Paul. The church was packed Sunday evening. Four members were added. The members seem to be highly encouraged and look forward for a success during Easter week. All friends are invited to be present, program beginning Sunday night April 13th, and continuing until Sunday night April 19th. Palen Memorial M. E. Church. The superintendent of the Sunday school is putting forth great efforts to increase the school. Our church is looking forward with much anticipation to the rally. Rev. C. Prothro, pastor, preached an inspiring sermon Sunday night. Mrs. L. Lovett, Mrs. Johns and Miss Georgia Herd have the children in charge for Easter exercises Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. Milk and dry when the sun shines in the sixth windows of shop and office a stray box elder bug will amber up enough to crawl around in a sluggish, lifeless manner. Just how the bug has survived to the present time with nothing to eat is a bit mysterious. Potato growers the country over will be interested in a recent bulletin put out by the department of agriculture under the caption, "Potato Wilt, Leaf Roll and Related Diseases." It can be had free on application to the United States department of agriculture at Washington. Caked udder in milk cows is not always, but is nevertheless usually, brought on by catching cold. This follows lying down on a damp stable floor or on the cold ground outside. With good cows as high priced as they are, it is shortsighted in the extreme to allow such preventable cases of caked udder. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it is a risky proposition using coal tar as a material for painting the wounds of young fruit trees. In a number of instances which the writer has run across lately trees so treated a year ago are practically done for now, and this is particularly true where the coal tar was used freely and the trunks completely covered with it. --- That it is a very easy matter for so called experts to get mixed up in the scenery was proven in a rather tragic manner the other day when a woman who claimed to have unerring judgment in the matter of distinguishing between poisonous and edible varieties of mushrooms died shortly after partaking of some of the "harmless" mushrooms. Folks who don't have a keener knowledge than this woman should feed the cooked product to the cat first or let the stuff alone entirely. Apple sauce cake is funch enjoyed by those who have eaten it. The following recipe is one that is published by a lady at Black River Falls, Ws.: One egg, well beaten; one cupful of granulated sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of sweetened apple sauce, one scant half cupful of lard, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and one and one-quarter teaspoonfuls of soda, dissolved in apple sauce; one cupful of seedless raisins and two cupfuls of flour. Beat well and bake in moderate oven. Poor condition in aged horses as a result of a bad condition of the teeth is a common thing. Occasionally the same thing is responsible for unthrifty condition in a growing hog. The writer remembers the case of two hogs that were of the same age and ate out of the some trough, yet one flourished and the other was thin and poor. When cornmeal was substituted for shelled corn the runt began to pick up immediately. The natural inference from this was that its teeth were out of whack. Scores of young orchards are going to pot every year because the owners think they can work the tracts as a calf pasture proposition before the trees get to a bearing age. The two things don't go together, and if the calves are to have the right of way it would be better to quit monkeying with the trees and take a grub hoe and dig them out. If, on the other hand, they are counted on to become something beyond sticks for the calves to scratch their backs on the bovines would better be pastured elsewhere. The old, old law of growth, "To them that hath shall be given," holds just as truly in the feed lot and hog pen as it does among trees in the forest, among men in business or in the case of the individual in the building up of physical, mental and moral forces. Because of this fact precautions should be taken to see that the weaklings have a place where they can get the fed they need unmolested by older and stronger animals. Unless such aid is given one might just about as well knock such runts on the head. The first step that should be followed in restoring the fertility of a rundown farm should be to increase the number of animals kept on the place. Cattle, sheep and hogs are better than none, but the dairy cow is the best fertility restorer of the lot. Every effort should be made to increase the manurial product of the farm. Another aid is to grow the clovers as green manures. After this a crop should be raised which will require clean cultivation and dispose of the weeds. Clover should be sowed again and plowed under or may be used as a meadow for one season and then plowed under with a cultivated crop following. As the soil becomes richer the clover crop will not have to be produced so often. Hog feeding experiments which have been carried on by the Iowa experiment station during the past six years seem to prove conclusively that as a general rule the time spent in grinding corn for hogs is worse than wasted. From weaning time until late in the fall lots of spring pigs on pasture were fed rations of dry ear corn, soaked (shelled) corn, dry cornmeal and soaked cornmeal. The amount of feed required for 100 pounds of gain in the different lots was as follows Dry ear corn, 440 pounds; soaked shelled corn, 463 pounds; dry cornmeal, 548 pounds; soaked cornmeal, 520 pounds. In making rapid gain the dry ear corn was also the most economical with the pigs up to 200 pounds in weight. For pigs larger than this the cheapest gains were made on soaked shelled corn.

He returned to the city in the afternoon. At night he read for the lesson Matt. 11-10. The honored guests of the church were the Sons and Daughters of Elijah and their juvenile, Beacon Light Branch. Quite an interesting history was read by their secretary, Mrs. J. Williams. Rev. Wright responded most heartily. His subject was "The parting of Elijah from Elijah." Don't forget the revival.

Sir Thomas Gresham, the millionaire merchant of Queen Elizabeth's day, in order to shame the Spanish ambassador, who was extolling the riches of his master before Elizabeth, remarked "that the queen had subjects who at one meal would expend a sum equal to the daily revenue of the king of Spain and all his grandees put together." Soon after this the Spanish ambassador was invited to dine with the English knight, when the latter drew from his pocket a pearl for which he had shortly before refused $75,000, ground it to powder and drank it to the health of his mistress, the queen—National Magazine. As It Waa Revealed. Dr. Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Maine with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon' than a poor new one.
