PITH AND POINT.

Scandal is not like brick build
ing. It never collapses because of a
poor foundation. -Binghamton Repub.
lican.
Without the obligations of a FAM
lily, man goes down the stream OF time
adrift, like loose log. -Harper's
Weekly.
Good nature is the very air of a
good mind, the sign of a large and
generous soul, and the peculiar soil in
which virtue prospers.
"A pretty girl may be so fully occu-
pied with being beautiful as not to
have time to be agreeable.-Detroit
Free Press.
Every man loves to hear his own
experience told by some other man.
That is the reason Bunyan's "Pilgrim's
Progress" is so much read.-Richmond
Religious Herald.
When boy of sixteen looks into
the future it seems almost an eternity.
When a man of forty looks into the
future it seems as brief as rabbits
tail.-Texas Siftings.
Poverty is no disgrace, says Uriah
Well That depends. Abstractly speak
ing, no condition is disgrace. Only
the acts which have established it de-
serve the criticism.-Judge.
1t takes Imagination to realize Wv
idly any thing outside of our own con-
seriousness, but, directly we have this
keen rec lization of another's condition,
we are in some sort of sympathy with
him.
Opportunities fly in a straight line
from eternity to eternity, and they
touch us and pass on never to return.
But injustices we practice on others
fly in circle and, however they may
widen out, they come back and smite
Is with heavier wing than that which
.hey smote others.
1t is bad policy to be naughty, re-
pelent, unsocial. The most resolute
aspirant to wealth or position may
stumble as he climbs. and, if no one
stretches out a finger to save him, may
roll headlong to depth far below the
point from which he started. A lift
for lift is the business rule of to-day.

In repeating the statements OF
one man to another, we take upon our
selves responsibility which is over
looked. Many of the misunderstand-
ings and difficulties between the peo-
pie. arising constantly in all depart
ments of life. are to be traced to the
forgetting of this responsibility. It is
the responsibility of safe transmission
of thought, without damage or break.
age, from one soul to another.-S. S.
Times.
That every man should regulate
his actions by his own conscience,
without any regard to the opinions of
the rest of the world, is one of the
first precepts of moral prudence justi-
fed not only by the suffrage of reason,
which declares that none of the gifts
of Heaven are to lie useless, but by
the voice, likewise, of experience,
which will soon inform us that If we
make the praise or blame of others the
rule of our conduct we shall be dis
tracted by a boundless variety of irrec-
oncilable judgments, be held in perpet-
ual suspense between contrary i'm
pulses. and consult forever without
determination. -N. Y. Ledger.

PATENT OFFICE CURIOS.
Tho Model of Continuance Invented by
Abraham Lincoln.


Abraham Lincoln.
Occupying a prominent position in a
case in the center aisle is the model of
boat for lifting vessels over shoals.
1t was patented to Abraham Lincoln in
1849, when the future President
thought to make a reputation as an in
ventOr rather than a statesman. Lin
coin is the only President who ever Sc
cured patent.
The first shoe was patented in 1911
by two Massachusetts, men. lis of I'M
dressed leather, and there is quite a
difference between the workmanship
of that and the present machine
stitched shoe. So well was the work
done, however, that it was impossible
to tell whether it was pegged or sewed
until some sacrilegious clerk cut the
sole and ascertained it was pegged.
In the class of perpetual motion ma
chimes the Patent Office is Efficient.
1t has no working model, but an in
ventor stepped in the other day to say
that he had completed and tested
model which he would send shortly.
1t required some few alterations, he
said, such as a governor to keep it
from going too fast and running down.
When the machine arrives it will be
given an entire case by itself.
OThe flying machine inventor is repre-
scented. There are flying machines of
all sorts, sizes, and conditions The
last one to be patented was an elabo-
rate arrangement of wings and tails,
which the aerial traveller dons for his
flight through space, and was patent
ed March 5, last.
There are in the neighborhood Of
1000 models in the Patent Office, and
had it not been for two destructive fires
the number would be near half mill

'Cut'cu'-ca-daw!' They scratch and claw,

HERE AND THERE.

Young ducks drink water very
often when eating and should be plen-
tifully supplied with all they can
drink, bu tshould not be allowed on
ponds until they are well feathered.
"A man who buys horse must make
use of his eyes. That is law and that
is what eyes are for. If your eyes are
not reliable in case of that kind, get
the use of somebody's eyes that are.
AS soon as a sufficiency Of green
food can be provided, cut down the
grain ration OF the hens. By SO doing
they will keep in better health and lay
a larger number of eggs. As a rule
too much grain is fed to poultry.
After each rain the ground should
be cultivated lightly in order to pre-
vent evaporation of moisture. The
loose dirt serves as covering, and
shields the earth from the direct effects
of drying winds and the heat Of the
sun.
Sorghum is an excellent forage
plant, but it is not equal to corn.
The seed can be protitably utilized for
poultry. Broom corn is profitable
crop to those who understand how to
prepare the brush for market. The
seed is also excelent for all classes Of
stock.
Present condition points to very
good increase in this years wheat
crop over that of last year. The De.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Parasitic PIants--.Rust on Cotton.

The Southern Cultivator recelAy
had letter of inquiry which began in
these words:
CDR. Pendleton says that exhaustion
causes the rust on cotton, and your
veteran associate, DR.. Lee. laughs at
that. He says fungi causes it. The
professor at our State college says not
fungi, but multitude of mites do the
mischief" The contradiction wit
messed in the above statement is easily
traced to a misunderstanding of as
sumed facts. DR.. Lee does not say that
fungi cause rust on cotton, but that
rust on cotton is a fungus, a living
plant that has, in the economy of nat
ure. both parents and offspring. The
learned professor of State college,
the intelligent correspondent of the
Cultivator and it's editor, overlook this
pregnant fact in treating of rust on
cotton. One talks about "mites," an
other tells of cotton exempt from rust
on ''fresh land" and in "fence rows, :"
while still another regards potash as
the lacking element in soils most SUBJ
ject to rust.
Not one of these three gentlemen
appear to regard rust as a parasite,
whose life is as independent of that of
cotton, wheat and other hosts On which
it feeds. and fattens, as it is of any
known place for spending the winter
and early spring months. Rust has
been known as a living parasite on
wheat and cotton for more than one
hundred years. Stacks of straw may
carry cereal parasite through the
winter, but how does the seed of cotton
rust hibernate? Not in cotton seed, as
smut on wheat passes months and
years with its host. The germs of
smut lie torpid from five months to a
year, according to the climate; planted
with seed of fall or winter wheat
and then awaken into life and activity,
and move at once from the buried seed
up and up the tall culm to the new
head and new seed forming, and seize
every particle of sugar, gum. starch
and gluten designed for wheat, to make
a sinking mass of poisonous smut.
Smut and rust are very nearly related.
Horned rye has killed thousands who
eat rye bread in the north of Europe,
and it is about time to make a white
mans war of determination against
these hurtful parasites.
Seed wheat washed in strong brine
or bluestone water has all the germs
of smut killed; and if all wheat-growers
would practice this system, this hurt
'ul parasite would probably be exter-
minated from our wheat-growing land.
From the cradle to the grave human
life is a battle for existence with par
asitic plants and animals. Babes are
hardly born before they are filled with
worms; pigs. lambs, calves and colts
fare no better Cats and mice, dogs
| and rabbits are full of parasites; SO
are all fish, birds and insects. Every
where it is life against life, and it is
madness to deny the truth of this vital
matter. In destroying hotbeds for
multiplying the germs of malarial
fevers in and near the city of Nash
vile, ponds and pools of water adapted
to breeding MOSQUITOES have disap.
peared, aud two or more parasites, the
blood-sucking fly and pestilent fevers
have left perhaps forever. -Daniel Lee,
in Southern Cultivator.
