Raise Hogs and Wheat.
GreenYille Banner

The pork packery at Fort Worth is ship
ping hogs from Kansas City to keep the es-
tablishment running. The Alliance mill at
Greenville is also importing Northern
wheat.
The moral is that Texas farmers should
raise more wheat and more hogs. Capital
is doing all it can to make Texas self-sus-
tanning, but these great enterprises cannot
succeed fully unless Texas produces the
raw materials to meet the demand. While
We are striving to induce the location of
more factories in Texas, we should en-
deavor to produce the raw materials to
supply those we already have

Trees HELD TO BE sAcRE o.

The Date, the Oak, the Ash and the
Legends Concerning Them.
The palm, the oak and the ash are,
according to q timely and interesting
article in the June number of the
Deutsche Rundschau, the three trees
which, since time irnmemorial, were
held to be sacred trees. The first among
them which figures on the Oldest monu-
ments and pictures Of the Egyptians
and Assyrians is the date palm home-I
tan. Tradition of q later period says
that when Adam left Paradise he was
allowed to take with him three things
a myrtle, because it was the most love-
ly and most scented flower on earth; q
wheat ear, because it had the most
nourishment, and date, because 1t was
the most glorious fruit of the earth.
The date from Paradise was in some
marvellous way brought to the Dejaz-
From it have come all the date palms In
the world, and Allah destined it to be
the food of all true believers, who shall
conquer every country where the date
palm grows.
The oak was always considered a
holy tree by our ancestors and, above
all, by the nations of the north OF
Europe. When Winnifred, of Devon
shire (6S0-754 A. d., went forth on his
wanderings through Germany to preach
the Gospel one of his first actions was
to cut down the giant oak in Saxony,
which was dedicated to Thor and
worshiped by the people from far and
near. But when he had nearly felled
the oak and while the people were ours
ing and threatening the saint a super
natural storm swept over 1t, seized the
summit, broke every branch and dashed
it, quasi superni, motus, solaris, with a
tremendous crash to the ground. The
heathens acknowledged the marvel and
many Of them were converted there and
then. But the saint built chapel OF
the wood of this very oak and dedicated
it to St. Peter.
The Celts and Germans and Scandi.
navians, again, worshiped the mount
ain ash, and it is especially in the re-
ligious myths Of the latter that the
"Aslr Yggdrasil" plays a prominent
part. To them it was the holiest among
trees, the world tree" which, eternal
ly young and dewy, represented Heaven
earth and hell According to the Edda
the ash yggdrasil was an evergreen
tree. A specimen OF it tsays Adam. o1
Bremen,) grew at Upsala, in front o.
the great temple, and another in Dith
marschen, carefully guarded by rail
ing, for it was, in mythical way, con
nected with the fate of the country
When Dithmarschen lost its liberty ths
tree withered, but a magpie, one Of tht
best prophesying birds Of the North
came and built its nest on the witheret
tree and hatched five little ones, al
perfectly white, Us sign that at some
future time the country would regain
its former liberty,

Search for Civilization.

The Russian Government some time
A@o decided to make some adminis-
trative and educational reforms in
Aaiatic Russia, and, with view to pro-
cseding intelligently, sent to its officials
in Siberia interrogatory circular letters
Df considerable minuteness. The pre-
aiding officer in the district Akmolinsk
was asked, with the others, as to the
progress of civilization in the region he
had the honor to superintend He re-
4nrned this answer. which was pub
1ished recently in the Siberian Messen-
ger: "The civilization is not to be
Hound in the territory under my super
vision. It may have withdrawn to the
Chinese border. although l can not say
10 = certainty. The Governor, how.
ever. has sent out two Cossack horse.
Fnen to look It up. and they may have
Sound It at the present writing" In re-
aponse to tho emphatic and rather un.
complimentary comments Of the St.
Petersburg Office on this remarkable
Oatement, the Akmolinsk official ex-
plained that he thought that by ''civ.
llixation" the Government had meant
- obscure tribe Of Kirgeez, and that,
paking In accordance with this belief

The Gross Outrage That Dives Perps-
trates Upon His Nelgbbors.
When primitive mamie Of the bone
caverns and paleolithic implements
wished to summon his retainers he
stood up and howled for them, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. His descend
ants have sought out many Inventions;
they have devised the telegraph, the
telephone, the special delivery, the dis
trict messenger and great variety Of
contrivances for making signals-and
yet when Dives gives ball and finds it
necessary to summon the carriages Of
his guests in the small hours of the
morning he has no better means Of
doing so than were possessed by his
historic ancestor. He sends q. servant
to stand on the sidewalk and howl for
an hour or two until the carriages,
which are scattered about the streets
for two or three squares in every direc-
,tion, have been called up and loaded,
during which procei,s his neighbors,
who have not been invited to the ball
and who are kept awake by the racket,
writhe in agony and call down maledic-
tions upon tho head of Dives, his guests,
his retainers and all their descendants
to the fortieth generation.
In this way Dives advertises himself
to his guests as man of wealth, who
can afford to entertain literally, and to
his neighbors and the public generally
as man of influence, who can break
the peace with impunity and need not
fear the arrest of his servants for max
ing disturbance one-tenth of which
would land casual reveler in dun
geon cell before he had time to begin
the second installment. It is very
pleasant for Dives-but how about his
neighborsp In this land of the free,
where every man is, theoretically, as
good as another, and in his own estima-
tion great deal better, have they no
rights which even Dives and his howl
ing henchmen are bound to respect?
Must their rest be broken and their
sleep destroyed that his servants legs
may be spared the fatigue Of running
after carriages? We learned, some
while ago, that, as to the subordinate
temples of Bacchus, ''rum and music
won't mix" Does the same principle
apply to wine and midnight ululations?
If not, why not9 Why should one
man who has been making merry with
his friends be arrested for singing
1--WE Won't Go Home Till Morningl''
and another be permitted to stand for
hours In the public streets shouting:
Number Forty-two-Number Seven
Number Eighty-six!" in voice that
scares the sparrows from their perches
three blocks away? The conceded
fsct that the former is enjoying him
sel9, while the latter is not, has moth
ing to do with the question. Simple
enjoyment is no crime per Sc, though
some cross-grained persons would like
TO mako It 10; nor is man justified In
making nuisance Of himself by the
fact that he Is working or even doing
