Ants Indicate Good Tobacco Soil.

In certain section of North Carolina
has been grown for years a tobacco un-
excelled by any produced in Cuba.
Now a similar soil has been found in
South Carolina, and all other crops in

of the weed. The discovery was made
by means of the ordinary little red ant

plant tobacco there. All over the
South farmers are examining anthills
for this magic yellow clay.

MYSTERY OF SHOE SIZES.

EnElish and French Standards of Meas
urements Are Used.
Although every one has his feet
measured for shoes, there are very few
persons who know what the sizes
marked upon the shoe stick mean.
There are two shoe sticks in use in
America and Europe. The stick used
in the United States was originally
English, and is still used in England.
The rest Of Europe uses the French
stick.
The sizes on the English shoe stick
were derived from the length Of bar
ley corn. and they run three to the
inch. The first mark on the stick. or
size 1. is made arbitrarily. just four
and one-half inches from the upright.
Why this distance was fixed upon does
not appear to be known. For some 9th
er reason which can only be guessed at
the graduated part of the stick is again
divided into two sets of numbers.
These numbers begin at and run up
to 13. and then they begin again at 1
and run up to 13. The first numbers
from to are known as infants sizes.
those from to 10 as children's. from
IL to as misses sizes, from 211a to
61s as women's, and from Z to 13 as
mems sizes.
The French shoe stick is divided into
aHreat many more sizes than the Eng
1ish, and the French shoemaker sub
divides these again, as is done with
the English sticks, into half sizes.
There is no exact relationship between
the markings on the two sticks. but
tie French size 16 corresponds to the
English infants /. and their size "A
is the same as the English size 10 for
men. A woman who wears 2l1s shoe
by English measure would get "a
c. 80 by the French measure, and a
man with & foot by English measure
would wear 30 shoe in France. Over
here the width of the shoe is desig-
mated by letter. while the French
use figures. The width AAA is the
French OOO B is the French / and EE
is the French width.-New York Sun.

Plausible.

A little boy fell out of the bed at his
home in Idlewild some nights ago. and
when his mother and some Of the other
members Of the family teased him
about 1t he felt very much as If he had
done something disgraceful. and cried
rs IL his little heart would break.
His mother saw that she was on the
wrong tack. 50 she ceased to tease him
and made the others omit doing SO. and
made a show Of sympathy by asking:
MY child, how on earth did you come
to fall out of bed?'
II don't know, mother" he replied.

Better than . Deed.

When the virginian who lived in the
wretched log cabin with family Of
seven had told me that forty acres OF
his land was a solid coal bed. l asked
him if his deed was all right.
Never had no deed, sah," he rather
proudly replied,
'Rut have you no papers at air.

and hev bin yere ever since"
But if You have no papers won't IT,:

Not skassly. sah-not skassly. That
is to say, sab. that the real owner has
come along three different times and
tried It, and every time he got killed
and had to give up. Deeds and sich
