PASSION OF MoNEY-GErrIN G
Evil of Teaching Boys That Edu-
cation Has Only Com
mercial Value.

Rev. Charles Fl. Parkhurst, D..
ID. in writing of "The Passion Of
Money Making" in Decem Der
Ladies Home Journal says, con-
corning the prevalent idea regard
ing the value OF an education to
boys: "We are considering the
effect which is going 10 be had up
on the boy by being led to feel
that the value OF his training,
whether it be obtained in bust
ness college or in any other kind OF
college, is determinable by the
amount in cash, stocks and securi-
ties in which it may be expected
ultimately to eventuate. That is
an indirect-but none the less
effective for being indirect-way
Of telling the boy that money is so
transcendently great thing that
tho only value that anything else
can have is, its efficiency in con-
tributing to that end. 1t is an in
direct way Of telling him that the
only value of an idea, the only
value of a mental energy, the only
value OF disciplined brain, in
fact, is its cash value; which
amounts substantially to listing
intelligence and putting it upon
the market in mercantile compe-
tit;on with wheat, leather and
railroad stock. OF course there is
no such intention as this on the
part of parents when they hurry
their sons into the store or the
clearinghouse or on to the
exchange, but the effect just stated
comes, is bound to come, and is
damning in it's consequences"

and has ripe fruit on at this writing.
The old orange trees in the fiat woods to
the west of us and all along the Peace
River Valley are coming out finely. The
grand old seedlings still are from ten to
fifteen feet high, and as far as my obser-
Yation went, are putting on fine
growth. But the young trees, well they
are simply gone, that is the budded
ones; but Florida will yet produce or
anges in abundance.
But this year it is corn and as fine as
fields in Florida before. So in place of
the golden fruit it will be the golden
grain. Pines are coming out finely and
doubt if there is any better section
in all Florida to produce this fruit of
fruits in perfection than these sand hills
of southern Polk. We will have few
pines, but small of course.
While the freeze did not help us finan-
cially, it set us to thinking and for one
will never, no, never, be caught asleep
again as I was this time. Yes, we are
in close place here, but it might be
much worse. We will have to econo-
mlze IN many ways it's true. So to help
| us and fill the aching void there are
wild plums, huckleberries and grapes
to be gathered in abundance, fish of the
finest In our clear water lakes and honey
in the trees, besides we all have plenty
of vegetables and last, but not least, we

AS friend Adams intimates, oranges
are ever uppermost, so here goes for the
status of the golden fruit in this section
of country.
Here at Frost Proof we have as yet
but one grove old enough to fruit. The
trees are all budded. Hurt they were,
to be sure (most of them), but in a year
from now will be themselves again.
Only part of the limbs had to be cut off;
many of them as we'll as the grape fruit

Repeated inquiries have been received
concerning this very interesting plant.
Many people seem to be anxious to raise
this delicious produc IN Florida.
1t is quite erroneous to call it a bean,
inasmuch as it belongs to the orchid
family and is botanically known as Van

But having tried every other argu-
ment, plea, and means, it must be self
evident that this is our last hope. After
we have secured transportation, then
the trust must be stopped. After this
the government shall issue a full legal
tender money in sufficient volume to af-
feet our exchanges without the interven-
ton of Shylocks.
This, Mr.. Editor, is my remedy-it
is simple and ought to be easy. 1t sim
ply means that the government shall be
taken from the plutocracy and restored
to the people, and that it shall provide
for the general welfare" No one
denies but that today we have a perfect
anarchy where the devil gets the hinder
most with corporate powers above the
law and law unto themselves The
machinery falsely styled government be-
ing run for the sole purpose of enslaving
the laborer and producer. These are
self evident facts that never f.1d a man
to deny, the only trouble is that our peo
pie have in the past been so welded to
their old parties as to too long trust them
to redeem them. But never mind poll
Tics, this letter is a plea for transporta-
ton and shall treat that from the old
standpoint. The transportation COM
panies in the beginning made the rates
from Florida much more than were the
rates to Florida, whereat our people
wondered, but they said the reason of
that was that it would bear higher
charges We felt that that was not jus
tice or equality, but at any rate we
could-bear it if the truck and fruit could,
and we made but little effort FIR some
years to reduce it. Gradually the out
put of this tuck increased, and as it did
the prices went down, transportation
charges however, did not scale at all.

"gold basis" prices, labor fell. produce
fell, manufactures fell, interest com
mission fell, but transportation charges
did not, not even after it took all they
would sell for.
The transportation companies virtu-
ally say that it is cheaper to run empty
trains than to carry our products for less
than double what other stuff of same
call pays coming this way. Every one
is familiar with this and there is little
need of reiterating. l ony desire to
men ton that party here entered into
rate contract and shipped d barrels OF
potatoes to Washington at ST A per bar
rel but they took $4.36 or an overcharge
of 70 cents. Again am told that a car
of melons pays $75 90 through Florida
and>S15 90 each through Georgia and
South Cardinal do not know Of this,
but from what do know believe it all.
Now the remedy for my complaint is
Justice in transportation and of this our
papers have but little to say; and when
they do they talk as if they had mouth

u
Uses to which it clings by means of nu
m erous rootlets that are sent out from
the stem very much like on the English
ivy. 1t grows from twenty to fifty feet
high, but in cultivation it is kept much
lower to save work in harvesting. In
the vanilla garden this plant is pro
vided with trellises for support.
For propagation a portion of the stem
is stripped of it's leaves and then layered
in loan containing much leaf mold.
The vine is not cut from the main plant
until it has rooted we'll. The roots come
out near the joints usually and each
joint may make plant.
In Mexico and other countries where
the plant is native, the blossoms are
fertilized by insects, indigenous to these
countries. 1t will be remem bered that
this is an orchid and has very complex
arrangement for fertilization,
The pollen is in mass held together
by delicate threads about the consistency
Of spider webs. These masses cling to-
gether and are born in such a position
as makes it difficult for these pollen
masses to reach the stamen of the same
flower. The insects that visit the flow
ers to collect the nectar touch the pol
'en mass which adheres to some portion
of their bodies and is carried to other
plants where it is likely to be put in
contact with the stigmatic surface, then
fertilization takes place.
The flower clusters grow in the axles
of leaves. There are many flowers in q
cluster, and each flower may produce a
pod.
The vanilla bean has been introduced
into West and East Indies, but it was a
failure in each case, and the enterprise
abandoned until later it was discovered
that flowers would make pods if fertil-
lied Y hand. This soon led to further
discoveries that in the native countries
ferti ization was carried on by insects
the new homes with the plant, vanilla
raising has been made possible. A great
many flowers may be fertilized in an
hour by hand, but this work is too
tedious to be rem lucrative, and if van
lila plantations are to be started in Flor
ida, the owners will be obliged to intro
duce the insect also.
The plant begins 10 flower the second
year after planting and reaches it's ma
turity in about four years. 1t requires
about seven or eight months for the pod
to ripen, after this it is collected and
treated in different ways; usually they
are plunged into hot water for few
minutes and then taken out and dried
portions of the day. When the p DIS are
perfectly cured they are of brown,
chocolate color. There are various
ways of preparing this bean for market,
but all are careful not to destroy the
aroma. The essence of vanilla is eX-
tracted by putting half pound of pods
into about a gallon of 60 per cent alcO
hol. The plant is quite sensitive to
frost and cold weather and would proba-
bly, not do we'll in sections where killing
frosts occur. 1t is a remunerative occu-
paUion and would be we'll worthy of a

Health and Power.

The following was written for
the Logan Journal by W. H. Ap-
perly, one of Utah's leading edu,
Gators.
Man is just beginning to learn a
little of the most powerful forces in
nature. During the last sixty years
wonderful changes and much pro-
gress have been made. A new
light, broader humanity, and a
deeper spirituality have come to
the world. The application of
steam and the invention Of machin-
cry, that brought the continent to-
gather and made the world one
market was but the beginning of
the gray dawn of light, that will
envelope the earth and lift man in
to an atmosphire more pure and
more divine.
1t is now admitted that the man
who has pure blood, health and
muscles, and clear brain, is the
one who can serve his God and hui
manity the best. The mighty and
subtitle forces Of nature, with wis
dom to use them, become mans
best servants. In natures unlimit-
ed storeroom we find all that is
needed for the development of the
body and mind.
Some of the fine forces of nature,
that may be used to strengthen and
beautify body and spiritualize the
soul are sunlight, electricity, mag
netism, color forces, fine spiritual
forces, and will power. Proper
living will put us in possession of
all that is necessary and best for
us. Perfect health will be secured
by living in harmony with the
fine forces that regulate the uni
verse under the direction of the
Divine will. An exception, how
ever must be made in the case of
accidents and hereditary tendency.
But even tendency to disease may
not develop in long life time, if
perfect living is the rule of life.
An attempt will be made in this
short paper to give, in brief terms,
the influence and power of sunshine
upon human beings.
The sun, the most beautiful OBJ
ject in nature, is the center light
and life to the solar system. The
sun paints the most beautiful colors
on fruits and flowers, ripens the
waving fields of grain, and warns
and vitalizes the blood that clrcu-
lates through the human system.
Without the sun the world would
be void. Darkness and death
would reign supreme.
Lord Byron saw such a vlson
when he wrote the following lines:
''The bright sun was extinguished,
and the stars
Did wander darkling in the etern-
al space
Rayless and pathless; and the icy
/ earth
Living blind and blackening in the
moonless air;
Morn came and went, and came,
and brought no day,
And men forgot their passion in
the dread
OF this their desolation; and all
hearts
Were chilled into selfish prayer
for light
1t is wise provision of nature

to do is to put ourselves in th'
way of it. If we open our window

we expose our bodies to its genia
influence they will be warmed anC
vitalized by the life giving princi
Iple. Plants that grow in the shade
are weak and sickly. Human be
ings that are deprived of sunlight
become subject to scrotulous con
ditions and prey to many dis
eases. 1t has been said that one
invites idiocy as we'll as disease by
rearing a child in the shadow.
The late DR.. Dio Lewis uses the
following language: "Don't you
see good many palH.girls IN your
stores, girls with a bfoodless half
baked sort of a face, whose expires
sion is void OF spirit and forcef
Those girls are in a green state.
Look at their lips and cheeks.
They are not half ripe. Send them
ont into the country and let them
live in the sunshine three months,
and | would give more for any one
of them in any work requiring
spirit than for a dozen of those
pale things that live in the shade.
The only girls who become fully
ripe and sweet are those who bap-
tie themselves freely in sunshine"
Sunlight not only cures disease
and gives physical energy and
beauty, but it increases mental
power as well. Joseph Simms, NJ.
d., in writing to Dr. Babbitt of
the intellectual feat of students who
reside in sunney climates says:-
"These natures children of the sun
are far stronger than American or
Englishmen or other Europeans"
One class of twelve Arab boys un-
der thirteen learned four languages
in four years. They could also
work difficult theorems in Euclid
with skill and swifntess without the
aid of book or teacher. The learned
Doctor closes his long and interest
ing letter in the following words:
SYours truly and heartily in sym
pathy with the cause of sunlight"
Students, you may increase your
mental vigor as follows: Sleep in
clean and well ventilated rooms
that admit good supply of sun
light and expose the bedclothes to
the sunshine as often as possible.
Keep the lungs well supplyed both
night and day with pure air. Take
exercise every day in the sunshine.
Sunlight drives away the blues,
gives elasticity to the step, and
vigor to the brain. 1t makes the
eye sparkle with love and intelli-
gence and it gives a bloom to the
cheek, that cannot be had from all
the cosmetics in the world.
One of the most important heal
ing instruments ever given to the
world is the Thermolume. This is
an instrument that can be used to
animate the system in the solar
sweat baths. One medical writer
says in speaking of it that every
case of Rheumatism, Consumption,
Dropsy, and Scrofula that has re-
ceived a regular course of treat
ment in it has up to the present
time been cured.
The sun is the grandest life Civ
ing force IN the universe. Why
should not ignorant tribes and
heathen nations worship it? there
is no other object in nature so
worthy of their alteration. Let
us thank God for the glorious sun
light. Let us open our windows
and our souls to to receive it, that
we may be made healthy and vir-
tuous by its divine influence.

THE FARM.

| Every time rain falls all titled
land should be cultivated. There
are many light rains through the
summer which wet only the sur
face Of the soil, and if this is not
cultivated under the moisture
speedily evaporates and is lost.
This cultivation has also another
effect in developing nitrates in the
soil. Whatever vegetable matter
is in the soil needs only to be
brought into contact with oxygen
to be decomposed and its manurial
elements set free. There is also
on soil that is cultivated frequent
ly deposit of moisture by the
atmosphere which it contains, and
this, being really a dew, always
contains more ammonia than does
ordinary rain water.
1t is not possible, or best if it
were, to plow so close to trees in
sod as to remove all the grass
around their trunks. But such
clumps of grass should be dug out
with spade and overturned.
There are no roots close to the
stump for this grass to interfere
with, but it makes just the shelter
that the apple tree borer beetle
needs when depositing its eggs. 1t
also obstructs the view of the tree
trunk, Every orchardist should
watch his trees closely during the
summer for signs of the borer, and
the bunch of grass growing around
the roots Of the trees is what most
often prevents the first work ofI
the borer from being observed.
The lady who inquired about the
cultivation of sage should purchase
paper of English broad-leaf seed,

sooner it dries the better it is.
When dry place it in an air-tight
bag. Before a rain, it is well to
throw spadeful of hen manure
about the plants. Manure taken
from the surface of the yard is best
as it isn't so strong.
