Though it is a woman's firm belief
that not II of her sex living to the
age of fifty but has had an opportunity
to marry if she had so chosen, 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 marries and is blessed with
children. An unmarried woman sell
dom a enjoy those youth-preserving
interests that fall to the lot of a moth
er, 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 a
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"
How French Women Keep Young.
American women might learn an ad-
vantageous lesson of their French sis
tiers in the art of keeping young. But
it is no recipe for cosmetics, that they
would acquire. First of all, French
do not worry, or, If they do, they
conceal the fact admirably. They are
apparently on the crest of the wave of
good fortune perpetually. Next, and
almost equally important they decline
to hurry. They take life moderately,
perform their duties without haste
and linger over their pleasures. And
in these two simple rules lies a mine of
wealth for her who is wise enough to
appropriate 1t.

county.
They have originated q new creed Of
christianity, and condemn the methods
OF the older churches. Their ad'ereDts
claim the old churches are spiritually
dead. They say when spiritual and prac-
teal revival starts up outside the churches
an effort is Immediately made to capture
all the glory OF it.

the prominent churches. recognizing the
ability OF sheppard, Offered him large
salary il he would accept a cha rye in that
denomination. Sheppard replied lie would
not preach for any church.
The promoters claim their creed Is for
the common people. Sheppard and West
live in the northern part OF the county.
near Genesee. They have formulated their
creed into a series OF resolutions, which
show their actuating principles. These
have been signed by nearly $50 converts.
one OF these resolutions says:
Resolved, That We orga nize a mission
that shall be independent and governed
by the Holy Spirit; that the mission shall
he free from worldly amusemeDts. that
no officer OF the pastor OF the mission shall
be a member OF any church; that we em-
pbasize Gods promise that he will take

THE USE OF PHOSPHATE

Phosphate is one of the great rejuvcn-
ators of the soil, especially that of the ce-
real. producing lands. 1t is therefore an
exceptionally valuable agent in cur agri-
cultural development. 1t is gratifying to
note that the United States has become
one of the leading phosphate producing
countries. The total production of the
country last year was $50, 900 tons. The
deposits are chiefly in North and South
Carolina and Florida, and they bear the
appearance of being almost iEexhausti-
bic. In those states where the land has
been cultivated for several generations an
enormous quantity is used. Georgia has
consumed more than $50. 600 tons; South
Carolina, 2O0.0 600 tons; New York, 80, OOC
tons and Pennsylvania over $50, 600 tons
With The growing need for the commod-
ity it is evident that before long a phos-
phate mine will rank almost with gold
mine.
