To BE a Successful Sneaker.

Rev. Hugh Price Hughes who made
so pleasing an impression on Americans
when he came to us to attend the Meth
odist Ecumenical council, has been writ
ing about how to succeed as public
speaker. He thinks little of any quail
ties except moral ones, in which it is
possible he goes too far. His first requi-
site is earnestness, dead-in-earnestness.
Next comes disinterestedness. The self
seeking speaker can never get hold
on an audience as speaker, and this re-
mark is to be commended especially to
those lecturers who only count on the
money an audience is going to bring
them. Mr. Hughes third great quality
is moral courage. The man who is
heroic enough to stand up and say what
he thinks right, whether it is exactly
pleasing or not, this is the man who will
gain respect and admiration, this is the
hero There is nothing that commands
great audience so really and so power
fully as utter fearlessness. Then comes
lucidity of meaning and simplicity Of
language, and last of all, he adds, good
humor, which he ought to have put
among the very first requisites.
Moreover, and finally, an erect body,
1.-THE, graceful gestures and clear, dis
tinct voice are at least half the battle
in successful speechmaking.

Our FOREIGN Trade Is Lively.

Commercially the greatest year in our
history is 1891, The total value of ex-
ports for that year was 500, sos, 2S2.
Imports for the same period were $685.
1921 ,646. This leaves us that balance of
trade in our favor, of which the old
fashioned school of political economists
thought so mach, SIP, 1S6,636.
The difference in our favor made by
the various reciprocity treaties already
begins to be manifest. The treaty with
Brazil went into effect April /; those
with Cuba land Porto Rico Sept /. Lnlno-
diately our exports jumped up in value,
in October reaching $10?, 81, 532 and in
November being $110, ,53G. Before
this they had never in any one month
amounted to as much as 100000, 600.
For December they We're still larger,
being $119, 933, 532, by far the greatest of
any one month in the history of the re-
public.
The articles which went to swell our
exports to such dimensions were chiefly
breadstuffs, raw and manufactured cot
ton, and copper and iron, manufactured
and in ore. Rather oddly the exports of
meats and beef cattle for December
were less than for the corresponding
month of 1890.

Points in Potato Planting.

At one of the Minnesota farmers insti-
tutes practical farmer present expressed
himself as follows on the subject of plant
ing potatoes;
Plant during the very last days of May
or the first days of June, for the follow
ing reasons: /. The weeds are given am
pie time to sprout and grow upon the last
falls shallow blowing, so that the
springs deep blowing, done just before
planting, destroys them most effectively.
2. can cultivate later in the season-in
July-and i'll that way destroy the best
crop of that seasons weeds. This late
cultivation is very important in securing
clean lands with any hoed crops. g..
While the potatoes have ample time to
mature before injurious frosts and leave
abundant time for the harvesting of the
crop, still the mature potatoes do not lay
in the ground so long before digging.
This quick digging after maturity is de-.
sirable, particularly in wet seasons, as
we avoid the tendency to rotting, and po-
tatoes are less liable to become scabby.
have experimental with seed to some
extent and lay but little stress npon'the
matter of size, so plant one or two small
potatoes, or put two pieces, each with
two eyes, in each hill. don't regard a
potato planter with favor, as it plants
with rows running but one way, and SC
prevents that opportunity for clean cul
tivation which is needed in weedy lands
as frequently found under ordinary farm
conditions

Rrer Brown and sis,er White.

Monkeys Paradise is the disrespectful
name applied by white folks to colored
mission house off worship on Pleasant
avenue, Philadelphia, Sister White lived
up stairs over the sacred premises and
rented it to the congregation, Because
of her consequence in the congregation,
Sister White was called Sister Bishop
White, Brer White was the pastor of
Monkeys Paradise, He got for his SER
vices Sls0 year, with the privilege OF
passing the contribution box,
All went well for time 1t is true
that some unsanctifed white neighbors
objected to the bowls, stamping of feet
and clapping of hanas when the semi
annual revival season was on, but that
did not disturb the missionars, At
length one day like thunaerclap out
of clear sky came to Brer Brown this
announcement;
hereby give you notice to move.
Sister Bishop White had determined
to turn the congregation ont Of Monkeys
Paradise AS a beginning, she had the
management of the congregation turned
over to board of trustees, There was
hot tussle of words, but quite unex-
pectedly to Sister Bishop White the trus
tees of her own creation stood by Brer
White. Then she changed her tactics.
She rented the Paradise to another con-
gregation of missioners and informed
Brer Brown and his lambs that if they
did not get out they would be elected
A chief recommendation of the pas
tor of the new congregation was that
he had a strong big fist and could
knock an OK down if necessary, thus
being enabled to use both the sword
of the Lord and of Gideon. He had
gained this superb strength in the brick
laying trade. Meantime the new con-
gregation paid the rent of Monkeys
Paradise in advance, and colored po-
liceman guaranteed the strong arm of
the law in their favor and put up the
rent for the new people besides. Then
the new worshipers held prayer meeting
on the premises and SHOWED by hoodoo
that they would throw out of that house
any depraved colored person of Brer
Browns congregation that dared to at
tempt to hold religious services in Mon
keys Paradise,
Meantime Brer Browns congregation
declare they can fight and pray both,
and the end is not yet. The last pros.
pect was that there would be as pretty a
fight between the two congregations as
one would want to see. Brer Brown
said to a reporter of the Philadelphia
| Times:
We will hol worship Sunday, an if anybody
| tries to frow us out well see who'll be frowl
out fust. Dis is all scheme to git two dollars
a week mo- rent TO- de mission 40, an don't

Best All Purpose Brood Frame

At meeting of Michigan beekeepers
Mr.. Larrabee read paper in which he
considered the best all purpose brood
frame 1t was not difficult for each one,
he said to decide upon one for himself,
but no convention of beekeepers could
agree. The essential feature of an all
purpose brood frame was that it should
have top bar thick enough so as not to
sag and from ll6 to q inches in width.
He liked the narrow bottom bar recently
introduced, for the reason that bees
build combs down to it better; and with
such frame, when withdrawn from
the hive, there was less danger of rolling
over or killing bees. The queen also
was less likely to find hiding place be-
tween the bottom edge of the comb and
the bottom bar. Frame ends should be
at least thrce-eighths of an inch thick.
AS to whether they as whole should be
of the fixed or self spacing style was a
point upon which he had not yet decided.
He urged that all beekeepers, as soon as
practicable, adopt standard size, and
that standard size, in the United States
at least, was the Langstroth. Mr.. Lar
rabee then read replies from number
of prominent supply dealers, all of
which, with one exception, indicated
that thick top bars are about to displace
all frames with the narrow and thin top

The Northern Lights.

The magnificent display of the aurora
borealis was visible from Iowa to the
Atlantic coast, over all the region north
of st. Louis. 1t was the grandest sight
of this kind that has been witnessed III
recent years.
But if anybody wishes to test the
magnificent Accommodations of science
through the ages since the world has
been peopled by man, let him investi-
gate the cause of the aurora borealis.
Most authorities agree that it has some
thing to do with electricity, One high
up astronomical professor assures us
that the atmosphere seemed to be
charged with tremendous amount of
electricity, and great connection APP
peared to be going on in the northwest.
One may add to this highly exact in
formation the further announcement
that the aurora borealis seems to appear
to be in some way connected with the
spots on the sun. AT the time of great
est apparent activity in the suns photo
sphere these displays of northern lights
are apt to occur in our sky A further
fact is that the telegraph and telephone
lines are interfered with by the aurora
borealis. The transmitting apparatus
will not work reliably THE thing
seemed to come in waves" said tele-
graph manager.
A German scientific man who, like
his studious race, was accustomed to
shut himself up and evolve things from
the depth of his consciousness, advances
the theory that the aurora borealis is
caused by great volumes Of electricity
passing from dense into a rarer at
mosphere. He passed a current of cleo
tricity from dense into rareied at
mosphere and found that electric phe-
nomena corresponding to those of the
aurora followed. Still we don't know
1t does not look well to be conceited over
the amount of human knowledge.
