Folsom AND FLoRIS. THE Folsom and
Florin wing-shooting matches ON the 22d
were quite successful. Accounts of the
shooting have already appeared in our To-
cal columns We are glad to note that the
Folsom Club unanimously resolved against
Senator Enos' bill to prohibit trap shooting

become law.

Cup, was shot January 3lst, at Lakes Ad-
ditlon, Omaha, 20 single rises, 81 yards,

Dime Novel Heroes.

FOUR small boys started last week for
Texas to hunt buffaloes and fight In
dians, and had quite a spirited journey
until they reached Pier Twenty, East
River, when sundry policemen took pity
on the hunted red man, also the nations
few remaining buffaloes, and so
changed the party's plans that Texas is
not likely to be as rich in valor as it
might have been. Other venturesome
souls, equally youthful, have started
West on similar errands; indeed, they
have been so numerous that their fan
cies and experiences no longer raise a
laugh; on the contrary, they arouse
sentiments that are any thing but face
tious. Nine-tenths of our American
boys are allowed to select their own
reading matter, and they may be de-
pended upon to buy whatever, within
their means, is most exciting. Gener-
ally they find it in serial publications,
the contributors to (which seem to i'm
agine that nothing short of the sight Of
gore-that of an Indian preferred-can
fully satisfy Juvenile longings, so scores
OF stories are published which no par
ent, no matter however much he ad-
mires bravery, would allow his boys to
read did he know what they were.
Boys demand spirited stories, and
should have them; but are none of the
writers alluded to able to bid adieu to
the Indian for a little while and "work
up" some of the actual adventure of
every day life in respectable neighbour
hoods and among people who are not
wholly vulgar and unprincipledP Sto-
ries just as exciting and strong may be
made from such material, and boyish
longings for heroic lives may thus be
fostered without recourse to dishonesty
or neutrality-suspicious. destroying prom

Profits OF Cotton Raising.

ADVANTAGEOUS as it would be for the
South to diversity its agriculture by
making grain, grass and roots impor-
tant accessories to their leading staple,
it must be difficult to impress the i'm
portance of the fact upon planters as
long as the immediate profits of cotton
growing continue to be what they are
claimed to be. A South Carolina planter
states that the whole cost of planting
and cultivating an acre of cotton and
ginning the product and delivering it on
railroad is about $11. The average
yield per acre'in the South is 1911 pounds,
so that the cost of raising it is about
5 3-4 cents. Last season the planters in
that State sold their crops at an average
of II IA cents, making profit of 1-2
cents a pound, which, computed on an
estimated crop of 5000, 900 bales, of $50
pounds each, gives an aggregate profit
of 1924, 100000. 1t is hard to persuade
Southern farmers to reduce their plant
ings of staple that yields such large
profits as this, and always sells for cash,
and turn a share of their attention to
crops whose profits are smaller; and it
is not surprising, therefore, to learn that
planters, encouraged by the good prices
of the last season, are preparing to raise
larger crop than ever before. In
South Carolina they are making ar
rangements to plant half as much more
ground than they did last year, and the
same may be said of the rich Lower
Mississippi cotton region, where the
yield per acre is double that of South
Carolina.-St. Louis Republican.

Hams Home Kingdom.

THE dearest and purest pleasures arc
those which have their rise in the fami
ly. No man is more proudly happy
than he who carries over the conscious
ness that there is within his reach one
supreme spot where he is the most well
come guest of all the world; whose daily
coming is festival event in his little
kingdom, and whose going forth is the
withdrawal of home of the sunshine that
warns the living blossoms rooted in that
genial soil. The contemplation of such
kingdom stirs within the soul emotions
that respond to no other bidding.
Never to have known the thrill of those
emotions is to have lived an incomplete
life. Very deep down in every man s
heart is one note that remains forever
mute until the child's voice CRYING
" Father" sets it in vibration. The
strongest link of human love is forged
for no woman who does not bend in
strange and wondering joy over the
babe that has come to her through doubt
and pang. These mother, father.
babe-are the true and holy triune of
earth; the materialized soul of Love !:
the all gracious Spirit of Home. Let MS

them in adoration.-" SignOr Mar," IN

Chinese Country Journeyings.

"WoULD you like to 90 to the country
with us again ?'' asked DR.. B., as he
came in one November afternoon. The
proposal was gladly accepted, and,
packing supply of bedding and other
necessary articles in two Chinese bask
cts, just enough for coolie load, for
we have no baggage wagons here, we pre-
pared for an early start that we might
take advantage of the morning tide. AS
we passed out through the gate the sun
was just lighting up with glory the top
of old Kushan, our mountain sentinel,
and soon down through the mists of the
valley extended long, rosy lines of light.
At first the streets seemed almost de-
serted, but as we neared the fish-market
we found it difficult to make our way
through the narrow street and the mass
of human beings, crowding, scolding,
screaming, bargaining, over the baskets
of fish ranged on both sides.
Before seven o'clock we slowed away
in little sampan, and wind and tide
and oars all helped to hasten us on our
way. Soon after noon we reached the
village of Lampwor, where we were to
make our headquarters. We found the
people in the midst of their rice harvest,
and more than usually busy. Instead OF
the fresh green which was just sprout-
ing all over the flooded lands when we
saw them seven months ago, was now
the ripened grain, the sheaves, in the
distance, closely resembling wheat.
Here and there in the fields stood the
native tnreshing-machines, very simple
,affairs-large square boxes, which a
man could turn over his head and move
from place to place at convenience
Around and above three sides of each
box was fastened sort of curtain to
