There are affectionate minds which
tremble at the thought of being
alone. Not from want of courage
nor from weakness of intellect comes
their dependence upon others, but
from the intensity of their affections.
1t is the trembling spirit of humani-
ty in them. They want not aid, nor
even countenance, but only sympathy.
And the trial comes to them not in
the shape of fierce struggle, but Of
chill and utter loneliness, when they
are called upon to perform duty on
which the world looks coldly, or to
embrace truth which has not found
lodgment yetin the breasts of others.

Death of j. p. Benjamin's Sister.

Mrs. Rebecca NJ. Levy, of New Or
leans, sister of the late Hon. Judah
L. Benjamin, died in that city Sunday
last. She was born in 1909 on one of
the islands of the West Indies, and re-
moved to Charleston, 5. c., in early
girlhood. She married Abraham Le-
Wy when l8 years of age, and was left a
widow at the age of 20. Her son Lion
el l.. Levy, is a prominent member of
the New Orleans bar. Mrs. Levy
moved to Louisiana with the other
members of the Benjamin family in
1S47. From that date until the break
ing out of the war she dispensed hos
pitality at the homesteads of Judah III.
Benjamin. One of these homes was
the Bellechasse plantation, in Plaque
mines parish, and the other and later
one the residence on st. Charles, av-

residing in this New Orleans home
when Gen. Butler, in 1862, issued his
proclamation requiring all persons to
take the oath of allegiance to the
United States, or, in failing to take such
oath to be considered alien enemies
At the expiration of the time limited
for signifying allegiance her residence

The Church OF England's Wealth.

The wealth of the Church of Eng.
land in worldly, not spiritual, goods is
just now receiving considerable atten-
ton, but speculation has not much
upon which to base itself, for the
reason that no one knows precisely
what its income is, except the two
Archbishops, and they, probably wise
ly, keep the knowledge securely to
themselves. Some of the most valua-
bic property in England belongs to
the church, which has held it ever
since it was taken away from the Ro-
man Catholics by Henry VIII. and be-
slowed upon the newly created Bish-
ops to make their fealty sure. The
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Pri-
mate of all England, has an annual in
come of $75, ZOO, in addition to Lam
beth Palace, his London or city resi-
dence. The Archbishop of York, the
Prmate of England, receives $50, 200
a year, besides two residences and a
large household of officials. The
tithes of some of the other Bishops
are: London. $50, 900; Durham. $35,
900; Winchester, $35, 800; Ely, $27,-
500; and Bath, Lincoln, Oxford, Sails

Consider These Things.

My son, there are some things that
boys ought to know. AT your age a
young man should be inquiring into
things An apple fell at the foot of
Newton, and while he was wondering
how it was that apples came down and
cider always went up, he discovered
the law of gravitation, whereby farm
ers are enabled to put peck of apples
in a seven-quart basket. Now every
young man should be observant and
thoughtful and study great deal
from the book of human nature. How
does it come that your party frequent
ly selects a ninety pound man for q
two-ton congressman Why does the
clerk with the smallest salary wear the
best clothesP Why does the smallest
town have the biggest mayor Why
is the oath of an amateur fisherman
considered as void and of no force in
courtP Why dose an alarm cock
always make the loudest noise when
you want to sleepp Why does a
man s own dog always get licked in
fightP Why is it that your 2:30 horse
can never trot inside of 1915 when any
body else is alongP Can you rely upon
the parsons word in a horse trade?
And if so, why not? Why is it that
the man who snores always gets to
sleep frstP Why is it right to steal
from the government? Why is the
farmer more honest than the city man?
And if so, how many? Why does n
spring chicken live longer than an os-
trich? Why does the man with the
fewest troubles make the most fuss
about them? Why is man so much
better than his neighbors? How is it
that the country gets along just as
well when congress isn't in session?
Why does the man with the smallest
advertisement always want the biggest
'localP" Why does an ugly man have
such profound contempt for personal
beauty? Why does a tramp hate soap?
Do the best men in America rule this
country? Is the president always the
best and wisest man in all the landP
Does the judge really and truly know
more law than any of the lawyers who
practice in his court? Is the member
of congress honestly and truly the
most intelligent and ablest man in the
district Are the members of the
school board men of education? Con-
slider these things, my son. 1t will do
you good to think over them, even
though you may never solve the easi-
est conundrum in the lot.-Bob Bur-
dette.

posed, been poisoned through over
FEEDING on acorns. 1t was feared tha-
the others would also die. Several
farmers in the neighborhood of Rom
sey have lately had serious losses
through their cattle eating acorns.
Mr.. William M. Singerly, who has ex-
perienced for the last four years on his
farm at Gwynedd, Pa, in preserving
green fodder in silos, has a silo of 200
tons. He says that by the operation of
this method he is enabled to easily
keep one cow on the produce of one
acre of ground. He fills his silos
mainly with cornstalks cut in 3-inch
lengths. A ten-horse power engine
will cut one hundred tons day.
An Indiana dairyman covers the
COW with a horse blanket or sheet
while milking, thus preventing the an
noyance of flies and adding greatly to
the comfort of the COW, which is other
wise conditionally engaged in battle
with the insect world. If a horse
blanket is used it should be a clean
one.
1t is understood that wooden milk
pans are in general use in Switzerland,
and, al effort is being made to induce
some English manufacturers to intro
duce those made of tin. The tin yes-
sells are difficult to keep clean, though
they may have some advantage over
those made OF metal in preserving a
more constant temperature.
\ good substitute for ground glass
is made as follows: Work together
equal parts of white lead and common
putty until quite soft, then form it into
a ball, and roll 1t over the surface of
the glass, and a ground glass appear
ance is the result.
1t is claimed that Eastwood is the
best lumber for water-pipes. 1t keeps
constantly saturated and in this copdi-
ton any wood is very durable. A
farmer, who laid three hundred rods
of Eastwood logs nine years ago, finds
them now az good as new.
An English architect says that wood
en- houses can be built to last longer
than brick or stone houses, and in
stances the fact that in many English
towns wooden houses are standing and
in daily use that were built five hun
dred years ago.
Last spring a body of Minnesota
farmers organized an exchange at Man
kato, and since then have sold through
it $4,000 worth of butter at better
average prices per pound than could
have been realized in New York.
The governor of Missouri has ap.
pointed Prof. Sylvester Waterhouse,
who has devoted much attention to the
introduction and culture of iute, one
of the commissioners of that state to
the New Orleans exposition.
Farmers who teed cabbage and tur-
nips to milch COWS should be careful to
reject those that are partially decaycd.
They are certain TO impart bad fla
vor and odor to the milk.

THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.

1t will be remembered that the first in
dustry that showed depression in the hard
times of 1873 was the iron interest. It was
also the first to show by its revival the ap-
proach of good times. The long season
of commercial depression of 1894 was
first heralded by the shutting down of
iron works, and, as ten years ago, the first
revival is now evidenced by sporadic ac-
tivity in the iron trade. Here in the iron re-
gion of Virginia the improvement has com
menced. Lowmoor furnace. annual ca

Just as the legislature was closing its
session, 1t was discovered that for years
there had been Irregularities, and in one
case certainly stealing, in one of the base
ment offices. For years, under admins
trations of all politics, it appears that
there we're returns from Clerks of Courts of
the tag on law processes not credited to
those clerks. W. R. Smith, a clerk in the
First Auditor s office and trusted for twen-
ty years, has been arrested and put in
Jail. The unbusiness-like conduct of af-
fairs for years in the basement-letting
checks lay for two years without collect
Ing, for instance-=makes it impossible
to say whether the clerk is guilty or the
victim of errors In the book entries, as his
friends say he IS.

THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL

THE b. AIR EDUCATIONAL BILL.
We see it stated that it is intended to
substitute the House Educational Bill for
the Blair Educational Bill. This means
the probable loss of any bill of that char
acter. This is short session. Tie SEN
ate is not likely to bother over a new bill,
when it has already passed and sent its
own bill to the House, and the result will
be, that no bill will be passed. II the
Democratic House does not pass the Blair
bill, it will hit the Democracy of Virginia
the hardest blow it has had for long
tine. Opposition to this bill was the
most effective argument used against the
Hon. j. r. Tucker in this district, and be
came out Of the race with $500 majority
reduced to 1,187, and two counties gone
over to the enemy. Virginia has to make
a fight for her existence next November.
Her Democratic majority is already re-
duced to 1000. Will a Democratic House
of Repre- sentatives put this new weapon
into the hands of her enemies, to finish
US up with ?
If the Senate bill is not passed, and the
House bill fails to get through the Senate,
the stump speaker who proclaims in Vir-
ginia. next fall, that the Democracy
favors popular education, will be jeered

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Tariff reform

tar in Secretary McCulloch, OF the Treas

evidence that, so far as such matters are
concerned, McCulloeh is as good Demo-

form. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, said to your

with those which he is advocating. The
report is not generally commended by the
