FEMALE SCHOOLS.

Some of our people seem just to
have realized that TaZewell Is
without female school. Such is
the fact. For the first time in
many years there is not in any
town in the County school Of any
grade whatsoever where our girls
can be educated except cocduca
tional schools. Those of our citi-
Zens who favor coeducation, and a
gOodly number of them do, are
doubtless well satisfied with the
existing state of things. But the
majority, we think, do not favor
such schools, and they are not at
all pleased with this state of af-
fairs. COeducation may be best,
but it would hardly be safe to say
that our people are quite ready for
it at this time. John II. Massey
raised n strong protest from differ
cnt portions of the State by assert.
ing in an address last week,in ROa-
nokc, that lie favored cOeducation
i'll our State University, and in the
colleges. There are arguments
pro and con on the question. We
are not arguing either pro or con
in this article. We have convic-
tons on the subject which need
not here be expressed. We only
call attention to the fact. Taze-
we'll is one of the few counties in
the State without n female school.
The advocates of the cOeducational
idea may claim, with Il considera-
bic show of truth that they have
succeeded in closing every female
school in the county. Should the
opponents Of this plan desire a
change i'll the existing state OF
things it is none too soon to begin
to lay their plans. Those who de-
sire first class female school in
Tazewell where their daughters
may be trained separate and apart
from the boys should have the Old.

Winter Evenings.

Young man, do not waste your
winter evenings. They are too val
uaDle. In larger towns and cities,
designations of every kind tempt
many to squander the only oppor-
tunity they can ever have for such
reading and study as would lay the
foundation for subsequent success.
The boy in the country is often the
best situated. Some of the most
useful men from the time Of King
Alfred until now have appreciated
the value of the evening hours.
Even where large opportunities are
impossible, the young man who
knows how to use his spare time
and his winter evenings, will soon
secure an equivalent for Il college
education.
Five or six months of long even
ings, the best suited in the entire
year for reading and study are be-
fore us. Young man, how are you
going to use these evenings? Sc
lect some good books, and give
yourself 10 reading. You will not
need many, Select them judicious-
ly, aud then read them thoughtfully
and studiously.-Lutberan Ohser-
yer.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such il is not liable to
any form of disease except by ono or
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der was created for one purpose, and if
not doctored too much is not liable 10
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
feste d i'll the kidneys, back, bladder or

attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is east

the potato is a gross feeder especially of
potash, and that this latter Is also re-
quired in abundant and readily available
supply for the proper growth Of wheat.
While these are undisputed facts l be-
lieve that If the potatoes were planted
upon a thoroughly manured clover sod,
the soil will contain enough available
potash for both crops. At any event
sufficient supply may be furnished to
the wheat by the use Of commercial fer
tiIlzers Under these conditions a yield
of twenty-five or more bushels to the
acre Is not uncommon. This is fully one
third more than the average yield.
The only serious objection to this ro-
tation is the fact that we are frequently
unable to get the potatoes out Of the
field so as to get 1t properly fitted by the
time the wheat should be sowed. The
most uniformly successful crops in this
section are sowed not later than Sep
tember 10. Occasionally large crop is
secured from later seeding, even to the
10th Of October, but they are the eXcep-
tions to the rule It requires an early
variety, planted early, with the right
kind Of a season and a good deal of hus-
tie at a busy season, TO get the potatoes
out of the way in good time for the
wheat.-C. H. Sapp, in Ohio Farmer

Care of the sick-Room.

Mrs. Burton Kingsland, writing Of
"When Nursing the Sick" in the Septem-
ber Ladies' Home Journal, insists that
"a tranquil mind is Of the utmost impor-
tance to the patient, and consequently
everything must seem to be moving
smoothly and easily no matter what
difficulties the nurse may have to en-
counter. The individual should not be
allowed to feel any responsibility what
ever about his own case The sick-rOOm
should be kept scrupulously neat, and
made as cheerful and attractive as pos
sble, that the eyes of the patient may
rest with pleasure upon his surround
ings. The nurse herself may contribute
to the agreeable environment if her own
dress be simple and tasteful, and above
all, ConspiCuOusly neat. All soiled
dishes should be removed Immediately
after being used, and no food kept In
sight Even the medicine bottles need
not be obtruslvely in evidence.
Stiffness has in itself power to
soothe, and, as all know, when the
nerves are quiet natures healing pro-
cesses go on without impediment. Creak-
ing shoes, rustling of garments, the rat
tling Of dishes and kindred noises are
often the occasion of positive suffering
to an invalid To accidentally jar the
bed, to spill the medicine when admin
istering it, to close a door nOisily, to
sleep audibly,' are cases where "a small
unkindness is a great offense' in the hy-
persensitive condition of the nerves Of
the patient"

Thirty-fOur Years a Judge.

On August IS, 1897, Justice Stephen
Johnson Field broke the record for
length Of service as a member Of the
United States Supreme court. Chief Jus
tice Marshall, whose appointment by
President Adams was confirmed on De-
cember 81 1901, served until his death
on July 6, 1885. Justice Field was ap-
pointed by President Lincoln on May 3,
1863, but he was not sworn in until May
20, and for record purposes the lapse OF
time seems to be computed from that
date.
Justice Field was eighty years old last
November, yet there is no reason to be-
lieve that he considers his strength as
yet unequal to his day. His reverend
father lived to be eighty-six; his elder
brother, David Dudley, lived to see his
ninetieth year; his brother Cyrus sunk
under weight Of misfortune at seventy
three, and his brother Henry Is still, at
seventy-fve, the vigorous editor Of the
Evangelist -Harper's Weekly.

Bic Wheat States.


Wheat is one of the big crops of the
United States, and has bounded ahead
with great rapidity as the agricultural
interests of the United States have de-
Veloped. In 1850 there was a wheat crop
Of 100,000,000 bushels, in 1860 a crop of
175,O00,000 bushels, in 1870 one of 290,-
100000 bushels, in 1880 one Of 100000 900
bushels and in 1891 one Of 610O0O,0 900
bushels. About 460,000,000 is the aver
age crop. and the United States produces,
in ordinary years, about one-fifth Of the
wheat grown in the world. 1t stands at
the head of all countries in respect OF
wheat products, France and Russia be-
ing second and third, and India fourth
until the recent famine in that country,
following the plague, reduced the avail
able supply for home consumption and
prevented the expectation of wheat in
large amounts. Hungary, in which the
crop is not very good this year, is the
fifth of the wheat-prOducing countries
of the world, the total of the others be-
ing by comparison insignificant, at least
for export purposes.
In the United States the wheat States
are those Of the Northwest, and the first
among them in an ordinary year, with
an average product of 65,000,000 bushels,
is Minnesota. Then comes North Da
kOta, adjacent, with a product of 60,000,
600 bushels, and South Dakota with 3d.
100000 bushels. The average Of Kansas
is about 100000 and Nebraska 16,000,-
900 bushels These are the group of
wheat States, but they are not the only
ones, California producing in ordinary
years wheat to the amount Of 10000, 900
bushels, and Ohio having an average
crop of 35,000,000. Wisconsin, which
adjoins Minnesota, produces relatively
Verylittle wheat, but Michigan has, when
the farming conditions are good, large
yield Oregon has been increasing its
wheat acreage considerably. Among the
wheat States of the East Pennsylvania
stands first, with an average crop Of 20
100000 bushels, Maryland following with
100000 and New York with 100000
bushels. There is comparatively little
wheat raised in New England, and
scarcely any I'M the Gulf States. Mis-
souri, is a large wheat-growing State,
exceeding either Indiana or Illinois, but
Arkansas, south of it, yields very little
wheat.-New York Sun.
