A Midland, Texas, dispatch says The Dyrenforth expedition for tts manufacture of rain by artificial means has been on the Nelson Morris ranch fer sbont two weeks now adjusting their implements for the manufacture of the eombustibjes used, They have made quite a number of unimportant experi- ments, bat as yet uQthing that would show anything 10 prove the practica- bility of the idea The indications are that the means employed are not ade- quate to the results desired; that either the appliances are not what is needed or that the experimenters are inefficient. Scientific men frqIn distant points and citizens of the surrounding country to the number of over 100 have been here several days awaiting demonstrations which have never come, and have now mostly returned to thor homes in dis. gust. No one is wiling 10 denounce the theory as absurd or the experiment an absolute failure, but none is so hope ful as to expect any great results from the present expedition.

Due to 0rrseivek.

There is too much tendency among people Co ascribe the snccess or failure In life to the caprice or partiality of fortune. Whether one succeeds or fails an explanation IS always ready that the condition is due to luck. Luck to such people seems everything, and q mans endeavors to improve amount to nothing unleso the wheel of fortune throws in his path that which by no possibility he could oarn. Observation shows that these deyotees of the luck system make it m excuse for their in- dolenco and non progressiyeress In their superficial manner of looking at events they have neglected those ob- vious conditions which more close examination would have revealed us the truo cause of any persons condition.
 Thus two young men may start in life with apparently equal abilities and prospects. One will succeed in amas- sing competence, while the other barely manages, as the saying Is, to keep soul and body together. If the course of life followed by these two men is closely studied, the result to which each has come will be seen to be due to the effort, or Jack of effort, shown by each, and there would be no recourse to mek To explain the differ enee in their conditions. Ii will prob ably he found that one valued present s6fe and pleasure too much to make any sacrifice for the future; he lived only for the good eacli day might bring him. While there may be many strange events in mems lives, which seem to need chance as an explanation, it will generally be fnnnd that each individual has been ihe srbiter of his own fortune.

Curved Trunks Get Straight.

Possibly the greatest manifestation Of
growth power that could be referred to
is in the power Of many trees to curve
their trunks when partly blown over,
though they may have had them straight
for quarter Of century. This curious
subject is yet in its infancy as u branch
Of study; but so far the curving has
been noticed more in connection with
palms and coniferous trees. A trunk
may be, say twenty or thirty feet high
and a foot thick, and as straight as gun
barrel. Should it, from any cause, be-
come tilted in few years the whole
trunk from the ground to the summit
will be found curved like bow.
It was at one time thought that plants
grew toward the light, and we come to
believe that "as the twig Is bent the tree
is inclined" but 1t now seems that

Facts.
There must be a market in reach
for small fruits. 1t is hardly advis
able to go into the business many
miles away from city or railroad.
The wise farmer will take care to
flush his pocket-book with the dollars
that can always be gained with the
small fruits that ripen in the spring
and early summer.
How can a farmer ever expect to
get ahead in this world unless he has
something to sell?
1t is not only true that best cult
walton ever brings the largest re-
sults-but it is the only sort that
will bring profit to the business.
The farmer must begin at home to
better his condition by manuring
his ground, putting in a small
acreage, and attending to it better.
He must make one acre do the work
of five. He had better sell off five
acres out of every sixty and spend
the purchase money in improving
the remainder.
Can there be achievements in any
pursuit as long as one remains on the
edges of it?
Let us live better and fix up better
around home, and make the young
folks love the old homestead. And

Raising Tobacco In Cuba.

Cuban tobacco enjoys a high rep
utation, but only few districts in
Cuba produce the best varieties.
For aroma, combustibility, elasticity
and fineness of texture the tobacco
of the Manicaragua Valley is unsur-
passed by any. Its excellence is no
doubt due to some peculiar quality of
the soil, though what cannot be
stated, as 10 analysis has been made.
1t is said to be a sandy loan, and
must be very rich, for, although it
has been cultivated for hundreds OF
years, no fertilizer of any descrip.
ton is employed.
The valley is watered by arroyas,
or brooks, which flow from the noun.
tains into the river Arimao, and. a
curious thing about the river is that
contrary to the usual practice O.
tropical streams, there is rarely a
flood, the river remaining nearly
tationary all the year. The seed il
sown broadcast in the nursery to
ward the end of August, and the
plants are set out when about foul
inches high. The utmost care i.
taken in cleaning and pruning, and
all the worms and other insects arr
picked off by hand. The first cut
ting of leaves is made in about fouI
months after planting, the other cut
tings according to circumstances.
The leaves are hung on poles anc

CIeanses the Whole system

During the last half century there has
been wonderful development in what is
known as sanitary science that looks to the
prevention OF diseases in communities
through the medium of cleanliness, and il
commends itself most urgently to the com.
mon sensense Of the people. Meanwhile it
should be borne in mind that the human
system stands in need of sanitation, and
requires even more care than the munlci-
pal body. 1t is precisely here that s. s. s.
takes up the work of sanitary scientists
1t cleanses the whole system, purifies the
blood, disinfects the channels through
which it flows, and destroys the germs OF
disease. 1t is harmless medicine, and
yet a most powerful one. 1t is natures
tonic remedy.

Waukeenah. 1t is, says the Monticello
Constitution, in the midst of one OF the
richest and most beautiful sections of Flor
ida, and is near the residence OF Jefferson

Marks, the old shipping point for Middle
Florida. before the railroads were built, is
only % miles distant. A railroad will
doubtless be built at an early day connect
ing Monticello and St. Marks, via Wau-
keenah. Wnen that is done, the very gar
den spot of Florida will be open to tourists
and bOme-seekers. There is no finer hunt
ing ground in the state than that along the
Wacissa, and no fresh water fish in Florida
superior to the Wacissa trout.
This new town is named Thomas Civ:
in honor of Senator Thomas, and naturally
enough he takes great interest in its de.

Florida volcano is visible from the heights

are found IN many places adjacent to the

Black stockings.

Black stockings will continue in vogue
the season through. and the announce
ment made that their use will be re-
stricted to the street is absolutely I'M
true. They may really be worn with
slippers and shoes of every color except
white: but, of course with gray, tan,
scarlet, as well as with white slippers,
the stocking to match looks better, and
suggests greater care as to the perfec-
ton of detail in the costume. Fancy
stockings-that is, those having printed
figures upon them-are not refined, and
can not be advised If you haven't
given the stitch in time, and a long
stocking railroads a little below the
knee. the best way to mend it is to buy
piece of the narrow fiimsy black rib
bon used sometimes for covering whale
bones; lay this under the ripped
stitches, basic it smoothly, and hem it
down on both sides, first where the
stocking has ripped to the ribbon, and
then underneath hem the ribbon edge
to the stocking. This will be found a
much more satisfactory way of mend
ing than is the long and intricate darn,
which must sometimes, extend over
nearly half yard of stocking. Ladies'
