Public Spirit.

From the Maryland Republican.
There is something in indiyid-
uals and communities which we call
public spirit. Its presence or the lack
of it is continually manifesting itself
IN many ways and everywhere. In a
community lacking this characters
tic everything gets behind hand.
The fences, the dwellings, the public
highways, everything seems peryaded
with deadening and overwhelming
sense Of something lacking. And
these physical manifestations seem
after all but the reflex of a malod-
orous and baneful moral atmosphere
and mental degradation which has
spread stagnation and a dry rot over
the entire community. No enterprise
starts in such communities, or if a
start should accidentally occur, it
quickly succumbs to the depressing
influence of its surroundings, among
a people who have no kindly eneour-
agement for anything, that does not
creep along at a regulation gait in
the old ruts. If any one suggests
that road be mended, the voice of
the croakers browns such rash sug-
gestion with an immediate exagger-
ated estimate of the costs. And so
il is as to every other attempt to or
ganize Improvements. Public senti-
ment is against improvement all the
time. You can recognize such
community as this the minute you
reach its outposts and glance over
its farms and villages.
The reverse Of this is readily recog-
nizable as YOU drive through the
streets or along the highways where
a public spirited people dwell, a
community whose motto is progress
and improvement. The fields are
covered with well cared for crops and
the fences and buildings show at a
glance that the people are contented,
prosperous and public spirited. Such
4 people attract like magnet. Popu-
lation and wealth press into their
midst and service. And the wheels
OF industry are set to work with a
cheerful hum and productive pres
sence. In the hurry scurry of attend
ing to your own private affairs don't
be afraid of Il little public spirit, a
little generous effort to help others
along. For a prosperous community
means not the prosperity of one or
two, but a general and well diffused
manifestation of progress and the
unmistakeable presence of public
spirited people. BE ready to help
along and encourage anything that
contributes to the public welfare.
In this you help your community
and help yourself likewise.

CHAFILn 4.
When the Indian summer haze is how
ering over the bluffs along the Pawnee
in these dreamy, sunshiny afternoons Of
late November, there is a languorous
spell even in soldier life, and the troop
ers love to loll about the wide porches of
the barracks during their brief leisure
moments or while waiting the trumpet
call for stables. There is scarcely a
breath of air astir. The broad, fertile
valley under the bluffs, forest fringed
along the stream, gives forth faint,
pungent, smoky odor, and the eye wan
ders across its soft undulations, its vistas
of alternate glade, grove and shadowy
pool. and sees it all as through some
filmy, intangible veil The sharp out
lines so characteristic Of the frontier at
other seasons, giving to the ridge to the
northwest that razorback guise that in
spired the original explorers, Kentuck-
ians and Missourians, to refer to the
range as 'tHawg Buttes," are mellowed
into softer curves.
There is an echo sprite abroad in the
autumn skies, for the distant whistle Of
the trains, the puff and pant Of engines
miles away, the rumble of the express
as it flies across the wooden truss at Big
Bend far down the valley, the lowing of
cattle and the tinkle Of their bells at the
farms beyond the reservation lines, the
shouts and laughter Of village children
securing the stream banks for the last
of the years crop of beech or butternut,
the soft laughter of the ladies gathered
in the veranda of the majors quarters,
all come floating through the pulseless
air to the listening ears Of the sentry
dawdling here along the post at the
western gate and distracting his atten-
ton from the purely military functions
which he is called upon to perform.
Over at the guardhouse many of the
men are drowsin in the afternoon sun
shine. Among Is stables the horses
are standing at the picket line, with
drooped heads and lazily swishing tails.
The officer of the guard, knowing the
colonel to be away on late shooting
excursion and the major held at home
by the demands of hospitality, has
dropped into doze while sitting bolt
upright at his wooden desk.

An Electric Light Bath.

There is apparently no limit to the
curious and unique arrangements sug-
gested for the employment Of electricity
for general household purposes, as is
evidenced by the device that has Just
been completed by a Cincinnati firm. 1t
is an electric light bath, which is not to
be confounded with an electric bath.
The cabinet is Of the usuafsize of vapor
baths, with a lid inclosing the body
completely, except the head, which is
exposed. The lamps are distributed
around the body of the patient, being
arranged in groups of fourteen and op-
Grated by a separate switch for each
group.
About sixty lamps of sixteen candle
power are used in the bath. The sides
OF the interior Of the cabinet are backed
by polished nickel to give reflective
power. The effect Of the strong light is
to brown the skin as if it had been ex-
posed to the sun. The combined effects
OF the electric and vapor bath in one
are said to be without the usual de-
pressing effects Of the vapor bath alone,
in fact having an opposite effect and
making patient buoyant and frisky.-

A City woman's Remarkable Experiences
with Strange Pussy.
A New York woman had an expert
ence few nights ago which she will
not soon forget-one which, considering
her environment, was very surprising.
Her home Is ground apartment, occu-
pying two floors, however, in one Of the
high class apartment houses in Fifty
| ninth street overlooking the park. The
library is on the second floor, and in
this room she was seated one night
when peculiar noise from the family
parrot, who was in his cage in an oppo-
site room, attracted her attention.
Thinking the bird was merely rest
less and wanted. his cage covered, she
picked up a soft woolen couch cover
and started across the hall. At the
threshold of the second room she saw
crouching on the top of the parrots
cage gray cat, which had succeeded
by his weight and clawing in inclining
the cage almost to the tipping angle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up and
down the upper side in frenzy of
fright. The unequal struggle could not
have lasted many seconds longer, and,
urged by the crisis, though really
alarmed at the unusual size and fierce
appearance of the cat, Polls mistress
advanced into the room shaking the
couch cover and attempting, after the
manner of women, to .'shoo'' the cat
away.
She had half crossed the apartment
when the animal made spring at her,
and but for her quick movement in
covering her head with the couch cover
which she held her face would have re-
ceived the brunt of the attack AS it
was, the cat clawed violently for an in
slant at the mass Of woolly material in
which he was enmeshed; then, aided by
the desperate push which the now ter
rified woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.
Mrs. - recovered her senses and
closed the door between herself and the
cat, then violently rang the bell for as
distance. The maids responded and,
after carrying Poll to place of safety
in a remote room, an attempt was made
to dislodge the cat from the library. AT
sight of her pursuers the creature began
to rush about, jumping through brass
screen with force enough to break it.
knocking over bric-a-brac and loose
books, and ending by scaling the win
dow casing as if it were tree and rum
ming out on the bare curtain pole. From
this high perch he glared down at those
beneath him until -AIr. -'s arrival
shortly afterward. He was then prod
ded down and leaped through window
opened for him to the pavement below,
darting off to the park as soon as he
reached the ground.
Policemen and others familiar with
Central park say that stray city cats
often find homes in its sequestered
hooks, growing wild and raising prog
eny that become almost as fierce and
terrible as a genuine wildcat In this
instance the animal was doubtless driven
from its haunts by hunger, and, getting
in on the ground floor, was attracted up
stairs to the parrots cage by the scent
of the bird and its food.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

more than doubtful, save in ex-
ceptlonal cases, whether the invest
ment will pay. Judge therefore that
the ordinary farmer will find more
profit in purchasing the cotton seed
meal, all ready for use, than in at
tempting to prepare whole cotton
seed tor fertilizer with all it's atten-
dent labor and probabilities of serious
loss in manurial value.
1t occurs to me that as this ques-
tlon is an eminently practical one
some intelligent farmer can do good
thing for himself and his neighbors,
by carefully conducting an expert
ment something like the following:
1t he is growing tobacco, for example,
let him set aside two acres of ground
as nearly uniform in character as
possible. Let him fertilize one acre
with dark cotton seed meal and
such other fertilizing materials as his
land may require, and the other acre
with cotton seed Of the same cost,
which has been carefully composted,
with identically the same fertilizing
materials as were used with the
meal. Let him keep an accurate ac-
count of the expenses in both cases,
and also Of the crop and net returns,
and give the results to the public.
1t is only in this way that practical
qustIons OF this kind can be really
settled. 1t may of course, be found
that the compost will prove she
better fertilizer. The State Chemist
will gladly render any assistance in
his power in solving the chemical
side of the question. But the problem
involves good deal besides chemis-
try, as has been shown aoove, and no
laboratory work can take the place
Of Intelligent painstaking observation
and experim mt on the part of the
farmers themselves.
