Points on Buckwfieat.

Cultivator, says: Despite the low
nrices of wheat, corn and many other
grains, buckwheat has sold fairly we'll
this season, aud proved remuneratlVe
to those who happened to grow II las'
season. Many farmers will be turn
inc their attention from corn and
wheat to oats and buckwheat this sea-
son. and a word about its culture may
not be amiss just before the seedlng
time. If the market reports OF any OF
the leading cities are studied they Will
f,nd that there is wide difference IN
the quotations of buckwheat, diner

from 1 to 6 or cents per bushei.

TUE FARM DAY-We do not look
fayorably upon this fourteen hours a
day on the farm as the period set apart ut
for hard labor. 1t is slavish practice
and never ends we'll. A man may &C.
casionally in some unforeseen way get
into circumstances that compel such q
sacrifice for limited time, and this is
excusable. but to 20 deliberately about
arranging ones affairs with the ex.
nectation of putting in this amount OF
time at manual labor in each twenty,
foor hours of the season IS out Of
reason. It is not consistent with the
fundamental ideas Of existence. From

AFTER A woMAN is THIRTY.
There Comes Over Her. If She's Single, a
Sense Of Isolation.

There Comes Over Her. If She's Single.
Sense Of Isolation.
Though it is a woman's firm belief that not
one of her sex living to the age of fifty but has
had an opportunity to marry il she had so
hosen, still there is a doubt In the minds Of
all who give the subject any thought whether
the single woman can be as happy in the true
sense Of the word as she who is married and
is blessed with children.
An unmarried woman seldom can enjoy
those youth-preserving interests that fall to
the lot of a mother, who grows young again
through the lives OF her children. The single
woman is more or less apt to grow selfish and
set in her ways. This is no fault of character,
but rather the influence of environment.
There are, of course, cases of maiden aunts
who are round and rosy and full OF life
through the joyous association with bevy
of nieces and nephews who make them forget
that children of their own never crept into
the heart corners or lisped that dearest OF all
names, mother.
After woman is thirty, unless she has a
husband and children, there comes over her,
despite all the strength OF character that she
may assume, a sense of loneliness and isola-
tion that she cannot successfully throw aside.
From twenty to twenty-five this feeling does
not assail her, for then she Is surrounded by
admirers and has not even in her own mind
definitely decided that her course in life will
be to walk alone.
The married woman of thirty is at her
most attractive age, the single one is unfor-
tunately regarded as slightly passe, and
knowing this to be the worlds opinion she
shrinks more and more into her
self. aud unless she takes up some fad OF the
day and becomes an assertive, independent
girl bachelor her life cannot be said to be as
blisSfnlly cOmpleta that which belonOs nv
right TO the wife and mother.
In these days ofwomen's progress marriage
need not be the one great ultimatum IN the
feminine life but 1t is the natural object
which all women look forward to, and though
they profess to feel sense OF freedom in

Ecru Lace on Wraps.

Very rieh-looking, deep-colored ecru laces
appear in applique form on opera and theater
capes of black, brown, green, and claret vel
vet. The heavy lace often borders the entire
cape, as We'll as the coIlarette or series of
shoulder capes. Ecru satin or moire Innings
are added. The lace is also used to trim
or to cover entire crowns of evening toques,
with spreading butterfly bow of velvet in
some rich color in front, with sparkling
aigrette, glittering rhinestone buckle or other
ornament in the center. Magenta, cherry
red. and orange yelvets are prominent on
those toques. and likewise On the new model
in velvet called "L'Amazone," which has
conical crown, the brim curling slightly on
each side, arching above the forehead, and
about four inches in front, narrowing consid-
erably at the back.
One of the handsomest of the new capes
lies in full godet plaits of deep velours du

their ability TO work side ty side with men,
to establish quarters in which there is no one
to cross swords in the matter OF opinion as to
what they shall do or where they shall go, the
real comfort of life comes TO the woman who
is blessed with good husband and family
of children.
All the better instincts are brought out in
these relations. Seitishnees is put in the
background so far tnat one would hardly
imagine that it ever existed at all and, to
take practical view of the case, the woman
who has so many crowding interests to take
up her attention will not find time TO brood
over her own troubles, and in consequence
both health and disposition will be radically
improved.
This little talk does not mean in any way
to influence women TO marry men who are
unworthy of them; or incapable OF taking
care OF them; far better that they should re-
main single to the end of their days than to
spoil placid existence by plunging into the
hot water of matrimonial discord and incom-
patibility. If, however, the right man comes
along, and there is nothing of moment to
stand in the way of match between
woman and this particular choice, we saw in
MI honesty that the path before her promises
more happiness than anv other line Of exist
ence which she may choose to follow.

One of the minor titles borne by the
sovereigns of England ever since the
accession of THE house of Hanover
is sacri Romani imperii, archi-thes-
aurus, arch-treasurer of the Roman
empire. The title dates back to Fred
erick, the elector palatine, who held
the Office stated, but for ages after his
time its duties were performed by a
deputy. They do not relate to the
treasury, but to certain matters con-
nected with public ceremonies. 1t was
originally the right of this official to
carry the crown before the emperor at
the coronation, and to distribute coin
as largess among the people during
the ceremonies.
GEoRGIA's criminal superior court
has discontinued the kissing of the
Bible in the administration of oaths.
Judge Clark, in explaining the order to
that effect, says: Holding up the light
hand is the more convenient form.
Then the kissing of the book is very
nasty thing. I have heard of persons
catching disease in that way"

ON THE Sailed SEAS.

ONE THOUSAND ships annually cross
the Atlantic ocean.
In Englands merchant marine serv-
ice there are 5000 Scandinavians.
THE steamers between Europe and
North America carry on an average
about 10000 passengers month.
THE Mediterranean has been COM
monty supposed to be sea without
tides; but, as matter of fact, at Ven
ice there is tide in the spring of from
one to two feet.
LLoYD's report is of special interest
to Americans this year, as it shows
that there is no nation which has made
so rapid an increase in the tonnage of
steamers registered during the past
twelve months as the United States.
LLoYD's REGISTER says that in the fif-
teen years ending 1880, 1,4O3 ships were
missing and never again heard of; 2, 753
were sunk by collision; 1908 were
burned; 1852 were stranded; 5000
were water-logged or otherwise lost-a
total loss in fifteen years of 92,5S7 YES
sells, or over 1000 year.
THE largest tree is in California, Tu-
lare county. 1t is 275 feet high and LOG
in circumference at the base.
THE largest stone bridge is at Taga-
rig, China. 1t is six miles long and has
800 arches, each 70 feet high.
THE oldest active volcano is Strom-
boil. History does not record time
when Stromboi was not active.

In q Snakes Den.

An awful battle with rattlesnakes
and copperheads was lately fought BY
three men, says Mount Carmel cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record.
While hunting on the mountain near
Brush Valley Schardel West, Aaron
Mummah and John Orwig went through
an experience calculated to raise their
hair and set all their nerves twitching.
West fell down through hole in the
ground that was screened by clump
of bushes upon a very big nest of rep
tiles. Before the startled snakes had
recovered from their surprise West
drew quickly away from them and fred
a shot into their midst. He then
started to beat them with the stock
of his gun. He knew that he was
in great danger, and yelled for help.
West was almost exhausted when
Mummah and Orwig came to the res
cue and fred so many shots that the
snakes gave up the battle. Thirty-two
rattlesnakes and three copperheads
were killed.
