shooting in Texas.
[Snecial Correspondence.

lCpeCldl SOIItopOAdShNCsJ
SHERMAN, Tex, June 20.-It is general
ly believed by the outside world that the
Texan carries his life in his hip pocket.
This is a mistake. Our most facile shoot
ers carry their revolvers just under the
left arm. The real artist knows the mi
mute differences in shooting 'on the rise"
and ION the drop" The technique mas
tered, the cause for action claims atten-
ton. Any assault upon the fair name of
woman is almost certain to be followed by
sudden death. For such cause as this one
must shoot. Imputations upon ones verac-
ity or honesty, family feuds, quarrels and
drunken brawls cause the remainder of
the homicides For such causes as these
one mag shoot.
Men shoot each other in Texas on lesser
ground than this, but they do not shoot on
such slight provocation as the tenderfoot
has been led to believe. They do not shoot
visitors for wearing stiff hat, for refusing
to drink, nor for continually referring to
the better things black east" | have
never lived among a people who were as
Indifferent to the peculiarities of strangers
or recent immigrants. However, the can
nibal islands are no more dangerous fields
for the missionary than is Texas for the
airy, aggressive prig who insists on reform
ing us to his standards out of hand.
/ have known several men in Texas who
have killed their man; few who have
killed two or three. Some of them were
boosters, who, after their tragedies, degen-
Grated into braves; others were high
minded, high spirited gentlemen, who had
killed some bully for mortal offense or as a
defense from deadly assault, and who bore
the agony of the tragedy in humility and
silence Homicide hardens and wrecks the
tough; it saddens and overwhelms the gen
tleman. As means of securing justice
between men it is the least satisfactory of
all known methods. 1t is the poorest kind
Of test of righteousness. The villain is
often a cooler hand and better marksman
than injured virtue, so that the avenger
often meets the doom the betrayer de-
serves. LEONARD LENNON.

spiders That Sail balloons.

There are two minute animals, usual.
ly called insects, which produce Cos.
samer These are the gossamer spiders,
and therefore, according to the later 20
illogical classification, they are not.
strictly speaking, insects, but form part
of distinct class of animals called the
arachnida. The ascent of the gossamer
balloons made by these spiders only
takes place i'll bright, serene weather,
and is invariably preceded by a produc-
ton Of gossamer on the ground. When
lmpelled by desire of traversing the
air, the gossamer spiders climb to the
summit of various objects, and thence
emit the viscous threads in such man
ner as that they may be drawn out to a
great length and fineness, and when
sufficiently acted upon by the ascending
current, they quit hold of the objects on
which they rested and commence their
aerial fight by floating away, the Cos
samer acting exactly in the same way as
a balloon.
The threads of gossamer are so deli
cate that single one cannot be seen
unless the sun shines on it. The viscid
fluid is elected by the spider with great
force, becoming thread, and several
such threads are produced at once in a
radiating form, which facilitates their
being caught by the current of heated
air and borne upward, carrying the
spider along with them. The spider is
said even to have the power, to some
extent, of guiding in the air the balloon
like web by which it is waited up
London Tit-Bits.

WHAT CAN WE DO ARorr yr2

Drunkenness is great trespass unor
Others rights as we'll as a great sin i'm itself
No man has more right to turn himself loose
drunk in the streets or public places, or in
his own household, than he has to turn n
hlthy swine loose in these places; and if either
should enjoy that privilege, the swine should
have the preference. But wat shall we doi
W nat shall the poor wife do and the chill
dren, whose husband and father defiles the
nome with his drunken presence? What shall
we all do who loathe and hate this curse OF
our land and of all lands?
One thing we can do which we do not
enough-we can protest; cry out against this
SIN, rehuke the drinker and not coddle him,
Its vile sin TO get drunk: worse than
beastly sin, for no beast (but mani will get
drunk. Let us put that SIN in this light, and
hold 1t there before anybody, whether our
neighbor or nearest of kin. This is one kind
OF temperance work we all can do, and
which we too little do. Let us not pity the
drlnker so much as to cover his SIM lest we
become thereby partakers with him of his
sin.
We laugh at the sight of young man
drunk. Let us rather weep; it is a case of
ruin, of death. We should protest. cry out
against the sin. Our silence in consent, and
the devil laughs while the ruin goes on. Lot
lived in the midst of siu He seems not TO
have cried against it; kept himself free, per
maps, but dwelt at ease in the midst of sur
rounding corruptions. He escaped with his
bare life. Noah also lived among the wicked
but he lifted up his voice; he preached, he
protested, he rebuked. Thus he kept the
evils apart from his life, an Noah and his
house were saved.-Sacrei Heart Review.

The roots of American corn end other
grass plants do not grow deep into the
soil but spread near the surface. Expert
ments through four years, at the Indiana
station, by w. c. Latta, favor shallow
cultivation of the growing corn. There
was an average yield of 5S.7 bushels on
ground cultivated one inch deep, 53.5
bushels when two inches deep, and sos
bushels when three inches deep. A
spring-tooth cvltivator was used, and the
dark clay soil was plowed eight inches
deep. The subsoil is coarse gravel.
Three years trial OF early and late plant
ing in May show best yields for the
earlier planting. Through six summers
of thick and thin planting the best re
suits are given by stalks twelve to four
teen inches apart, in rows three feet eight
inches from each other. A rotation of
grain and grass gave better returns than
constant graiu-growing, but the rotation
should be supplemented with fertilizers
to insure con tinued good yields. Stable
manure was more lasting and gave better
yields of corn than commercial fertiliz.
ers. Shalow-running corn cultivators,
which thoroughly pulverize the soil and
leave the surface nearly level, gave the
best satisfaction. American Agricultur-

WISE WORDS.

Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll.
Often the virtue OF a woman must be
very great, since it has to suffice for two.
Friend, beware Of fair maidens! when
their tenderness begins, our servitude is
near.
. woman! thou vert fashioned to be-
guile, SO have all sages said, all poets
sung.
Unhappy is the mau for whom his own
mother has not made all other mothers
venerable.
We should look at the lives of all as at
a mirror, aud take from others an exam
pie for ourselves.
Imitation causes us to leave natural
ways to enter Into artificial ones; it
therefore maNe5 slaves.
A man should never be ashamed to own
he has been in the wrong, which is but
saying in other words that he is wiser to-
day than he was yesterday.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another mau than this, that
when the injury began on his part the
kindness should begin on ours.
The passions may be likened to blood
horses, that need training and the curb
only, to enable them whom they carry to
achieve the most glorious results.
Politeuess is the poetry of conduct,
aud, like poetry, it has many qualities.
Let not your politeness be too ford, but
of that gentle kind which indicates re-
| fined nature.
Whate ,er mitigates the woes or in
creases the happiness OF Others is just
criterion of goodness; and whatever in.
jures society at large, or any individual
| in it, is criterion OF iniquity.

nRlNK WASTE AMONG wnnrrns-

rhe Hon. Carroll d. Wright, Commits
sioner OF Labor, recently transmitted to the
President his annual report, which contains
much valuable information collated by the
Labor Bureau Among other things the
sum expended by the families of working
men for various puI poses are contrasted
with the families of workngmen in other
countries. The comparisons on Intoxicating
liquors are as follows: For the families en-
gagged in the cotton industry in the United
States, so far as considered, the average ex-
penditure is given as $l5.9S in the U nted
States: in France, sl5.OS; in Germany,
sll.4l, and in Great Britain S1g.47. In the
woolen industry in the United States,
S5I.94; in Belgium, S45 .09; in Great Britain,
1914. The food expenditure by the families
of cotton workers in the United States was
on the average. S2S106; in France, $l64. 02;
in Germany, 81 T.. 22 and in Great Britain,
S24650. The average cost of books and
newspapers for families engaged in the cot
ton industry in the United States was S5.35;
France, $40: Germany. 81 AS and in Great
Britain, $3.50. The total average expendi-
ture for families for every purpose in the
United States, S6l06l: France, 1888. 20;
Germany, S2S2. SIS; Great Britain S502 49,
Switzerland, S3i6.6S. AS a general state
ment it will he seen that the expenditures
for intoxicating liquors in the United States
are relatively less, and for books, food news
papers, etc, relatively more than among the
cotton-workers OF the other countries. But
the drink waste among these workers is
large in each country mentioned. d.-National
