And know that from my darkened eyes
The lifelong shadow will be rolled away

SOY BEANs-EAI!LY, MEDIUM AM LATE
dients, and, as it is one of the legum-
inous plants, it doubtleus derives much
of it's nitrogen from the air.
There are many varieties which at
present are classified by a few seedsmen
into early, medium and late; others
offer simply soy or "~soja' beans, which
the New Hampshire station has found
to be usually the late variety. This
station has cultivated the soy bean for
four seasons. The cut shows specimens
of early, medium and late varieties
grown last season and represents their
various degrees Of development when
photographed in September.
No. 1 is dead ripe, with leaves fallen.
1t contains, on an average, from 40 to
rs bean pods, with from two to three
beans each. No. 9 is the medium early
variety, and, although green when
3 is the late variety, and, although of
good size, it was still in blossom when
photographed.
The average yield Of each variety per
acre. when grown upon a fairly rich,
but poorly drained clay loan, was for
No. |, the early, 2 tons, 1903 pounus;
for No. 2, medium early, 4 tons, 1, 922
pounds; for No. 3, the late, 4 tons,
1, $50 pounds. The seed Of the early is
brown, while that of the medium early
is black. Professor Rane in his report
on this plant advises that, all things
considered, the medium early variety is
the best on account of its maturing q
large quantity of seed, as well as max
ing a fine leafy growth. thus enabling
one either to sell the seed or convert the
whole into silage.

Origin Of "PaIl MALL"

Pail MALI pronounced pei mel)
comes from pale MALE, an ancient
game supposed to have been played on
the present site of Pail Mall by Nor
man monks, by whom it was introGuc-

The observant Pepys, in his famous
diary, makes mention of it thus:

Tall Sections to the Fore.

Some of the prominent beekeepers
are using the oblong or 'tall'' sections
and prefer them to the square ones for
a number of reasons, not the least of
which is their pleasing appearance and
the attractive and symmetrical shape of
the cake of honey which they contain.

Speech and Hands.

A professor who has made a study of
children says he has discovered why
the majority of the people are right
handed. Infants use both hands until
they begin to speak. The motor speech
function controls the right side of the
body, and the first right handed mo-
tions are expressive motions, tending
to help out speech. As speech grows SO
does right handedness.
