If we were to say that the structure of
society is cellular, we should have to say
that it is the family that constitutes each
sperate cell. No man, however entire, is a
cell No woman, however complete is a
cell. There is no finished cell except in
the grouping OF several individuals bound
by the ties of domesticity. A bachelor is
a dislocateI fragment. His female counter
part is in the same category. 1t may not
be their fault 1t my lie in the necessity
OF their case. Still, all in all, it is con-
dition foreign to divine intention.
1t is to the family, therefore, that we
shall have to look as being the prime point
of concern in all that relates to the veal Of

laid on the home idea and the wholesome
ness of society is simply the sanctity of the
home writ large. Homes are each of them
the separate roots that carry their several
contributions to the organized structure
of the general life.
All of this holds whether society be

we know as the church, or III its secular

and done, what better advice can be given
to those who mediate matrimony, and
who ask themselves or are asked this uues-

WOMEN'S SCRIPTURAL ESTIMATE

The first important suggestion that comes
to us from the Bible record is that the pro-
duction OF woman was the concentrating
act of the creative week, writes the Rev.
Charles II. Parkhurst in The Ladies' Home
Journal. Whatever opinion we may see
our way clear to hold upon the doctrine of
evolution, it remains a fact that the first
tive chapters of Genesis mark an orderly
progress of creative sequence each step in
the history furnishing the platform upon
which sustained itself still higher and
finer exercise of the divine wisdom and
power, so that each step was the finish OF
what had preceded and the initiative of all
that came after. 1t is in that character
then that we are obliged to construe the
final act OF the creative week and to find in
the production of woman the climax of
Gods creative energy. When he had fin
ished her, he stopped, knowing of nothing
better nor higher he could design.
The profound reading of the first two
chapters of Genesis compels to the highest
possible Interpretation of womanhood. And
this is in accord with the impression that
is yielded by the Scriptures in their
entirety that while man is gifted with
those properties that make him more overt
and conspicuous figure in the history of

have made this observation; indeed,
O'Shanghnessy expressly states that
none of the mangroves are reported to
have any medicinal virtues.
Food.-The fruit is reported to be
sweet and edible, and the juice to be
made into kind of light wine. Salt is
extracted from the aerial roots.
Structure of the WOod.-Sapwood
light red, heartwood dark red, extremely
hard, but warps and splits in seasoning;
it is very durable. Weight 7O.5 per
cubic foot.
Domestic Uses.-The wood although
good, is rarely used in India. Rumphius,
speaking of the wood, states that in
Amboyna it was a much valued fuel,
rnd that the Chinese employ it to make
charcoal for use in their workshops. He
also adds that the larger aerial roots were
used as anchors for small boats, and re-
marks that in the Moluccas a curious
custom, aud one at variance with Euro
pean ideas, prevails in that while the
anchors were made of wood, the boats
are constructed of light stone thrown
up by the volcanoes of these islands -

Tobacco Again to the Front

Since writing you last it has been my
pleasure to answer many questions in
reference to tobacco culture-the size
barn required to cure an acre of the leaf,
the quantity raised to the acre, etc
know very little about raising to-
bacco. My experience has been in
handling the leaf after the grower is
through with it, but from observation
find that there can be raised from
four to seven hundred pounds of Veulta
Abaja (the finest Cuba seed) leaf to the
acre. There are other varieties of seed
that can be used in this country sue
ceSSfully, but for wrapper and filler leaf
the Vuelta Alfalfa takes the lead |
have seen wrapper leaf raised in this
county with good success from different
seeds, but if hail or worms should hap
pen to injure the leaf so that it could
not be used for wrapper, it would not
answer for filler, yet the wrapper leaf
will bring the highest price if success
fully raised.
Several farmers have told me that
they would try tobacco If it were not
for the expense of building barn. 1t
seems to me that the expense of barn
building is a small obsalic in this
country where timber is so plentiful-one
grower has built barn that will hold
two acres of tobacco, at an expense of
1926. Of course he did the work himself,
and only bought lumber for siding.
Anyone could do the same if they
wished, and a barn is about the most
useful building that could be had on a
farm. After the tobacco is cut it is
hung in the barn, for not more than two
months, and then the barn can be used
for wa! on shed, hay, fodder, ETC.,
And what blessing it is TO the poor
cattle in the winter time.
l do not see how farmer can get
along without barn, even though he
raises no tobacco.

merely suggested that in my letter as an
economical plan for handling the leaf,
and placing it on the market. In all
tobacco producing districts there are
warehouses, established generally by
leaf dealers who grade and prepare the
leaf for manufacturing.
No grower. unless he had a very
large crop, could put his leaf in proper
candition for the factory. The barn
curing does not finish the work; in fact,
it is but the first step In curing. Cigar
tobacco must be cured by moisture

Mangrove Bark.


pany, viz. the right of Utilizing the
mangrove bark available in the Island
for the extraction of tanning material,
an account of the trees yielding the
bark and other particulars in connection
with the subject will, we think, be not
unwecOme to our readers.
The bark of the following trees are
commercially known as mangrove bark:
-Avicennia officinalls (also known as
white mangrove); Bruguiera gymnorhiZa;
Brugueiera parvifola; Ceriops candol,
leana, (also known as black mangrove);
Ceriops Roxburghiana; Kand | ia
Rheedii; and Rhizophora mucronata,
Che true mangrove).
The first mentioned three belongs to
the order Verbenace@; and the rest to
the order Rhizoph orace@. Perhaps the
best known Ceylon trees belonging to
these two orders are Teak (Tectona
grandis) to the former order, and Dawata
(Carallia integerrima) to the latter All
the trees mentioned except Bruguiera
parvifora and Ceriops Roxburghiana are
indigenous to the island.
Referring to the genera "Rhizophora,
"Burguiera, "Kunilla" and "Ceriops,"
the late Mr.. William Ferguson, in his
"Ceylon Timber Trees" remarks that
they "form the chief plants composing
~ ;oIo ho oil doc
of the salt marshes all around the island.
The timber of some is used in common
house-building, and the banks Of others
are the chief ingredients in tanning and
dyeing country leather"
RhiZophora mucronata being the true
mangrove and the tree which supplies
most of the mangrove bark of Ceylon
merits attention first. In the Ceylon
II ,ndbuUk (prrparcd for the Indian and
Colonial Exhibition Of 1866 the follow
ing reference is made to this tree:-The
bark Of the kadol or mangroVe (Rhiz
Uphora mIcrOna'a) is much in use
amongst native tanners, but when tried
in Europe it was found somewhat inef
fective, and is now only employed as a
preliminary tan, requiring the aid of
myrobolans.
DR.. Watt, in his exhaustive work on
the Economic plants of India, gives the
following account of mangrove:-
Habitat.-A small evergreen tree
found on tidal muddy shores throughout
India, Burma and the Andaman Islands
Dye and Tan.-The bark is said to be
used to give chocolate dye; it is also
used in tanning. This tan, Christy
recommends to be used as a preliminary
preparation for cheap feathers. 1t is
recommended that the leather should be
about half prepared in India and ex-
ported to Europe in that condition, to be
redone and have the color improved by
myrobolans or other tanning materials.
Mangrove bark has been exported to
Europe, but leather prepared with it
solely IS always inferior in color and
quality. Except therefor as a prelim-
mary tan, or in the preparation of cheap
feathers, it is not likely to become an ar
ticle of European trade. Instead of the
bark, which is bulky, Shettell suggests
that an extract should be prepared for
the purpose of expectation. He further

The Single Tax Question, Illustrated by

b Single a Question, Illustrated by
O Humorous Story.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Very many half converts to the new
gospel of political economy called THE
single tax" fail, 1 think, to fully ap,
preciate the necessary conditions
which are essential to the application
of a truly single tax. Such persons are
consequently too sanguine of great re-
suits from it's attempted application in
isolated locations and over a small area
subjected also to State, national and
tariff taxes from outside. and depend
ing, as such small areas must, more
upon outside productions for which it
exchanges it's own, than the use of its
own productions, for success and a
reasonable degree of prosperity.
Too many new fedged Or half fedged
single taxes witnessing the ill success
of such experiments" and failing to
note the adverse outside conditions by
which the little community still con-
tinues to be plucked of it's productions,
lose all faith and hope in it. Such
superficial observers not infrequently
have joined themselves to the noisy
and ignorant host who have forever
called every great truth which they
failed to see, either a lie, or that which
is the same thing, an empty and i'm
practicable theory.
Such has been the theory of progress
sive civilization, and such the welcome
given to every discovery of truth, from
the days of Moses and Christ to CALI
leo, from Gallileo and Newton TO Henry
George.
As an illustration of this human
weakness, this social disease, and Of its
contagious character, the writer is re-
minded of an incident, amusing and
real, which with some alterations of
the details and the use of fictitious
names for real ones, he will narrate
under the title of
DEACON JONES' ''THEERY."
A good man, a most positively well
intentioned old man, of the little coun-
try town In which this writer was born,

utility.

mates the governments of the civilized
world, and none more than ours, re-
quires something more than continued
discussion. 1t requires organization
action. 1t requires heroism and self
sacrifice. 1t requires unceasing devo
ton to principle and a vast amount OF
unrecompensed work. But in no other
way can the battle be won, and this
work must be done if we would not be
slaves.
Therefore, without attempting to
take other steps now, or until expe,
rience shall have proved other lines OF
action to be necessary, this Conference
calls upon the advocates of monetary
reform everywhere to make this the
paramount issue in every. State and
Territory in the Union, and to subordi'
nate to it every other issue, and to
highly resolve that they will not vote
for any candidate for any legislative
or executive Office, State or National
who is not in favor of the free-coinage
OF both gold and silver at the old ratio,
of Is to 1; and that they will not sup
port any part not pledged unequivo-
cally in conventions and in platforms,
State and National, and by their can
didates, to restore the constitutional
standard of money in the United States
by the free and unrestricted coinage
of both gold and silver, as it existed In
this country from the foundation of
the government, and for indefinite
ages throughout the civilized world,
until 1873. Americans must act for
America Independently Of what other
nations may do OF not do; and to this
end we urge the organization of Silver
Leagues in every State and Territory
in the Union, and in every district,
county, city and town in the entire
country, the members of which shall
pledge themselves to do all in their
power to carry out these principles;
and we further urge as a necessary
step, if it is expected to win this fight
in 1896, that the mining States and the
agricultural States, as States, unite in
close compact, and, subordinating all
other issues and all party considera-
erations to this purpose, work to-
gether to secure this all important re-
form.
Resolved, That a committee of five
be appointed to take this movement in
charge, with power to call a conven-
ton when in their judgment the time
has come for further action or to
change the lines of action from that
herein proposed.
The committee above provided for
consists:
Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada.
Senator B. r. Tillman, of South
Carolina.
Hon. Joseph G. sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania.
Hon. J. W. Deane, of Colorado.

DEATH is the decomposition of the body"
said a physician to a New York San
reporter. II have had cases of ap-
parent death in my W practice. An
urgent message from the physician in
charge called me one night to a young
ladies' seminary in this city. AS I as
cended the stairs to the patients DON
I was met by the housekeeper, who,
between her sobs, could only say: 1T
is too late, doctor; she is dead went
up to the room, nevertheless. There
upon the bed lay a young girl OF about
Is. Her face bore the mask of death.
am sorry to have disturbed you
at this hour the doctor said; theheart
stopped beating about five minutes ago.
81 bent over and listened at the
chest; no respiration, nc beating of the
heart was to be heard. WhileI listened
some one said:
81 always thought she would go off
in enc of those attacks
''These words were a revelation to
me and I hastily threw off my coat
and began artificial respiration. Little
by little there was a change of express
sion in the face; the features relaxed,
the eyes appeared lesssunken, the face
became flushed the eyelids moved, and
after a full hour of constant work the
life of youth returned. The girl had
an attack of grave hysteria. She is
now married and the mother of three
handsome children.
''In another case I had q my
patient at II p. M, and after giving
my instructions to the nurse in charge.
I had gone away. At seven o'clock
the next morning I received the mes
sage, Father passed away quietly this
morning at 1907 This raj rather un-
expected. I knew that I had left the
patient in danger, but did not imagine
that I was seeing him for the last time.
However, after a hurried breakfast /
went to the house and found that the
night nurse had spread a sheet over
the body. In removing it something
call it intuition if you will-made me
think that the man was not dead. Nor
was he; and it was not until five days
later that he really died.
WHO knows how many times q
physician who has attended a patient,
and to whom word is brought that the
sick one is dead, fills out the blank
which the undertaken presents him
without taking the trouble to see for
himself that the death is real9 That
probably happens every day in this
city; and what Of the country, where
the doctor often lives miles away from
his patients The thought Of the torture
of those who may have been buried
alive, under false appearances Of death,
is so frightful that it fills the soul with
grief. Do I think that people are often
buried alive7 Yes, lido; perhaps oftener
than we imagine. Life may.exist with
out being evident; but non-evidence of
life is not proof of death. If ever we
are able to discover the moment when
death substitutes itself certainly for
life. we shall have solved a problem
which has occupied the philosophers of
