Snyder County Historical Society.
From Philadelphia Inquirer.

From Philadelphia Inquirer.
From the MiddleLurg "Post we
learn that an effort to revive the
quarterly meetings Of the Snyder
County Historical Society is to be
made, public interest in that organ
ization having some time ago waned.
The quarterly meeting is, OF course,
better than no meeting at all, but
why in the world should the people
of Snyder County not give a portion
of one day Il moth to such an or
ganization? For years the news
papers published there have been
giving columns ofspace to chapters
of local history, and the duty OF
keeping alive interest in such affairs
is no heavier upon them than upon
other people. Only recently similar
societies have been formed in a half
dozen other counties, with every in
dication that they will prove sue
cesstul. Why should Snyderat such
a time let one already in existence
sink into decay?

4 rev Acre: wen cuisivatsA Az
Setter Than . Large Fasa
Saperaeially Titled.

% A. soon ~ we learn in this country
that fewer acres better cultivated are
better than. many acres carelessly cul-
uvated, the greater will be the profits
Of farming. The great extent and
original cheapness Of our farming lands
have been q detriment to us agricul-
turally. Thousands got their farms at
$1.2S an acre, and even less, added to the
original claim as rapidly as possible,
and engaged in farming "all out doors"
Almost necessarily such farming is
loosely done. When there are but few
acres under cultivation, they must be
made to produce what we need, and
they can be with less expenditure of
time and effort. The English farmer
compels his few acres to yield as much
Of our many acres do, because his sys-
tenn is more perfect. The farms of the
future will be smaller. The time will
come-after we are gone-when herds
will not rove over great fields, but will
be soiled; when the wheat and corn
crops will be made to more than double
the present average yield, and when
farming will be less irksome because its
operation will be more contracted in
every respect. II these things will be
profitable and desirable then, why
would they not be profitable and de-
sirable Northwestern Plowman.

Machine Versus Hand Labor.

b A discriminating writer persistently
says that well-equipped farmers who
have lands adapted to potato growing
will grow them by the hundred acres
and with profit, even though prices
should be low. while those who cannot
afford to own an outfit Of machinery
will quit raising them for market. The
man who plants and harvests by hand
labor cannot compete in rnising for the
market with the one who plants and
harvests with machines any more than
the wheat grower who sows by hand
and haryests with q cradle can compete
with the grower who runs a feeder and
. sel.-sInder.

Cow Peas and Fires.

Here is an argument in favor Of cow
peas in orchards that is novel and
sound. 1t is written by II. C. Morris, of
Olnsy, ILL.,: II must not neglect to call
your attention to another very impor-
tant matter. Peas and beans are in
their greatest stage of growth when we
are often losing thousands of trees and
dollars from fires set by railroad loco
motives and hunters in August and
September. Where peas and beans
grow there is no possible danger from
fire." Some dry crop like oats or grass
will take fire from spark, while green
peas or beans will escape. For the good
Of the orchard. also, it is better to have
the green crop growing late in the sea-

oLpFAsH1oNED PURSES
9Aey Have Come Into fashion Agaan
ana the Henelisr the
Moro Popular.

Purses carried by women nowadays
ere in fancy grains and fancy colors,
tAe grain of the leather giving an ap-
pearance Of shading, while the edges
ere bound in . plain shade Of the same
color or in . contrasting color. These
purses are all made in the common pat
terms, with change and bill compare
ments.
There 10 . revival Of an old German
purse, which 10 Q big fiat top pouch
when opened and has fat top frame
Of steel in four pieces. The sides Of
the purse are fat and bound with
straight pieces Of steel, while the
leather forms bag hanging from these
side steels. The end steels are half al
wide and are hinged to the sidepieces,
folding across the top and meeting in
the middle with q clasp like change
purse.
When opened wide the whole purse 10
spread out about eight inches long.
There is a place for everything a..t
everything in its place in one big bag.
Its bulk, when filled with the usual ar
ray Of memoranda and samples, must
be detrimental to Its popularity, as II
must be held clasped in the hand, and
IL makes a pretty good handful.
The popular purse, however, is of the
plainest and homeliest type. 1t Is the
"flnger purse" named from the wom-
ans habit Of carrying 1t with the fn-
gers thrust through the big retaining
strap across the front. This purse II
made of three plain strips Of roughly
finished pig skin, making two compart-
ments in the simplest form. One 10
gusseted for change and the other Is a
fiat pocket for bills. The flap Of both
compartments slips through strap
Gcross the front piece. The whole is
sewed about the edges with harness
stitching, with no attempt at orna-
mentation.
To individualize this purse there are
big brass initials. the same as are used
In ornamenting brass trimmed sets OF
harness. These are furnished withrre-
tanning pins on the back, which are
easily thrust through the leather and

There is something rich about the
appearance Of these simple purses, and
their oddity has made them most popu-
lar among the young folk.-Chicago

An Interesting Experiment.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
The Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, Of
Topeka, wrote book entitled, "In
His Steps," Because his effort had
tolerable success, he assumed, before
the Christian Endeavor Convention
at Detroit, to tell the editors =
country that they were not conduct
ing their publications as the Master
would have them and that the min
listers of the land, acting as editors,
could give greater satisfaction on
earth as we'll as in heaven. The
editor of his home paper, Mr.. Key
ser, promptly wired Minister Shell
don offering to turn over the entire
plant of the Capital to him for one
week. The tender was accepted,
but the parson stipulated that he
would not begin until March 13.
The announcement that the Capital
will then be edited in sucha manner
as to find favor in heaven smacks to
sufficiently of sacrilegeto send shud-
ders down the spine of a paragraph
writer.
The experiment will be watched
with interest all over the country.
Editor Keyser cannot claim entire
novelty for his thought, because a
New York newspaper once offered
$1,000 per week to half a dozen Of
the most prominent ministers to edit
its Sunday issue for month. The
men who had most severely criticized
Sunday newspapers could not un.
dertaketo improve them. One Fifth
Avenue minister agreed to try, but
as was feared, he neglected his work
so manifestly that, hadhe been relied
on, the paper would have failed OF
issue. He has since that time con.
fined himself to his proper sphere
and would resent the attempt of any
presuming newspaper editor to un'
dertake his job.
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon will ge
ga good ready" before he starts ant
then he will "editY Like grea
many other people, he believes tina
it is just as easy for man to "edit'
as fora compass to point to the north
He will learn something he does no
really know. He asks advice ant
suggestions from the editors through
out the country. Ours is the hin
given to Caesar, which he disregard
