States, and is correspondent and con-
nection of the large banking houses of
the Rothschilds and Berlin banks.
Hon. Ernest Thalman is warm friend
of President Machen, and is deeply in
terested in the new enterprise. 1t is
reported that he will develop the new
town of Thalman and it's contingent ter
ritory. This location is one of the fin

because of the great fact it can support
a large population because of it's fine
lands, health and climate. The report
is that Hon. Ernest Thalman will set
tie it with the highest type of German
peasantry-the thrifty and peaceful
farmers that are blessing to any land.
A great deal of interest is being taken
in the sugar cane Industry, and they
propose to experiment in that line,
both in raising the cane and manuiac-
turing sugar. 1t will be wise move
ment upon his part, a blessing to the
immigrants aud an industry that will
pay well, and we are proud to welcome
this Industrial enterprise.

Brunswick, Ga, presented several in

DEAL AUNT JENNIE Il hope all the
ChaUterers have carefully read the
very entertaining articles now ap-
pearing in The Progressive Farmer
from the pen of Dr.. j. B. Alexander.
They form One of the best reviews
of nineteenth century progress that
it has been my good fortune to read
and l agree with the editor that
they deserve Il place in any scrap
book. And could we but push aside
the curtain and see the Amer
lea of a century hence, we would
doubtless be no less startled than a
man of 1901 would have been by
seeing present day life. The old
world is moving at a rapid pace just
now. Among the things that 1 am
inclined to think will be ushered in
ere the close of this century is the
flying machine. In fact, l am sur
prised that greater progress has not
already been made in this direction.

flying of yonder bird the act is in
perfect accord with natural laws
and scientific principles. Why then
cannot man act upon the same prin-
ciples, preserve the same relations as
to the great law of gravity and other
principles of nature, and arrange an
easily operated flying machine?
The twentieth century, 1 am conf
dent, will see this done. But how
solemn a reminder of the brevity of
human life and the feebleness of hu-
man effort is this talk of a new cen
fury just begun. We have seen it's
coming, but of the thousands who
will read these lines, doubtless not
one will see it's close.

A mechanic about thirty years Of
age. and having a wife and four chill
dren. was wont to step into a be7r
saloon close by twice a day and paw
five cents each for two glasses of
beer. For many months he did this,
under the impression that it was
rather necessary for a hard working
man. But one day, while toiling at
his bench a new and better idea took
possession of his mind.
81 am poor" he said within him
self "my family needs every cent /
earn; it is growing 0 expensive
every year; soon I shall want to
educate my children. Ten cents a
day for beer! Let me see-that Ia
sixty cents a week, even if l drink
n 0 beer on Sunday. Sixty cents g
week. That is thirty one dollars
and twenty cents a year! And it
does me no good; it may do nae
harm. Let me see," and here he
took a piece of chalk and solved the
problem on a board. 81 can buy TIVE
barrels of -four, one hundred pounds
of sugar, five pounds of tea, and sig
bushels of potatoes for that sum. -"
Pausing a moment, as if to allow the
grand idea to take full possession Of
him, he then exclaimed, 81 will never
waste another cent on beer y'-Ex.

A WORD AS TO CAKE MAKING.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Truly, "time
and tide wait for no man" When l
last wrote 1 had no idea that weeks
would pass ere I again chatted with
you.
Have you had the grip? Well, if
you have, you realize what I mean;
if you have not, I will not try to tell
you the symptoms, for it attacks
you in so many different ways that
to tell of n case would simply be
to describe one mode of its insiduOus
procedure and some body might be
ready to say that l have not had the
genuine article.
Did you ever think what a bugbear
cake making is to most hOusekeep-
ers? AS in everything else, there is
a right way and a wrong way in
making cakes, and although more
experienced hands may go about
1t in the wrong way, and obtain
good results still it is best for thOee
AAOC 81 SuAO w 1O4lC" LuOI6 CLOSELY
the rules. Right proportions and
pure materials are essential and then
a steady fire. Fresh eggs always.
If using soda, dissolve in the milk.
If baking powder, sift in the flour,
mixing thoroughly. Not long since
l wished to bake a large marble cake
but had little time to devote to the
preparation and adopted a short cut
that worked admirably. I creamed
my sugar and butter, then added an
egg Gust broke it into the bowD
and continued to stir. This daring
process ! persevered in, alternating
-four and eggs until I had the batter
just the right consistency and I wish
you could have seen the cake when
it was done. None could have have
been prettier or have risen better.
To beat the eggs separately is so
much trouble if thoroughly mixed
and as we'll risen where is the differ
ence? | have tried it several times
since and find that venturing has
taught me q valuable lesson. Beaten
tracks are safest, you say? Well,
yes, but if nc one has courage to
try untrOdden paths discoveries will
be relegated to past generations and
progress will be a thing of the past.

The Home Circle.
NY PLAYMATEs.

The wind comes whispering TO me Of the country green and cool,
Of redwing backbirds Chattering beside a reedy pool;
It brings m soothing fancies of the homestead Oh the hill,
And hear the thrushis evening song the robin morning Gr1li
So fall to thinking tenderly of those l used to know
Where the sassafras and snakerOOt and checkerberrles grow.
What has become of Ezra Marsh who lived on Bakers hill?
And what's become of Noble Pratt whose father kept the mill?
And what's become of Lizzie Crum and Anastusia Smell,
And of ROxie Root who tended school in Boston for d spell?
They were the boys and they the girls who shared my youthful play
They do NOT answer TO my call! My paymates, where are they?
What has become of Levi and his little brother Joe,
Who lived next door to where we lived some forty years ago?
I'd like to se the Newton boys and Quincy Adams Brown,
And Hepsey Hall and Ella Cowles who spelled the whole school down.
And'Gracie Smith, the Cutler boys, Leander Snow and all
Who I am sure would answer could they only hear my CALI!
I'd like to see Bill Warner and the COnkey boys again,
And talk about the times we used to wish that We were men!
And one, I shall not name her, could l see her gentle face
And hear her grish treble in this distant, lonely place!
The flowers and hopes of springtime, they persisted long ago,
And the garden where they blOssOmed is white w1th winter snow.
o cottage meath the naples, have you seen those girls and boys
That bat a little while ago made, oh, such pleasant noise?
o trees, and hills and brooks, and lanes, and meadows, do you know
Where I shall find my little friends of forty years ago?

AUNT N LETTER.

Many bright girls and boys read
dime novels and other trash and thus
iniure their minds for useful knOwI-
edge and success in other Occupa-
+ions. AS food is to the body so is
reading-to the mind-the material
of which it is built. 1t is important
therefore that we read that which Is
elevating-helpful to mental and
sniritual life. We live in a day that
requires us to read and study or we
will feel that we are behind the
times. l believe if we want to do
right we must live right and strive
to leave the world better than we
find it, and is there a better way to
accomplish this than by urging IN
structive reading? Most girls are
exceedingly fond of pickle, but could
they subsist on pickle exclusively?
Neither can they gain mental
strength by reading stories and
novels exclusively. An appetite for
romance is Unsuitable and often al
lures and finally entraps Be caro-
full, therefore, and take substantial
food with your pickle. Let mother
or father see the book you purpose
reading. Don't hide it under your
pillow and read it while others sleep.
You will be rObbing yourself if you
do, not only of the physical rest re-
CURED for the best development of
your body but wreCking your men,
tai well-being by deceiving your
parents, by stealing hours from your
rest and by acquiring false ideas of
life that may in after years deprive
the world of Il noble man or wOmanly
woman. I believe as a people we
Americans are too ~materialistic. We
care too little for good literature and
less for real art. Yet l noted with
pride that some of the best pictures
on exhibition at the Paris Exposition
were painted by American artists.
What has been done may be done
again and while we now have COM
~paratively few noted artists, I trust
ere the dawn of another century
that our country will not only pro-
duce the artists but appreciative ad-
mirers of art.

in another one of her helpful letters.

WHAT ~" MEANT.

Many years ago a young fellow
entered the freshman class at Am
herst COllege-a lad with a square
jaw, a steady eye, a pleasant mile
and u capacity tor hard and persis-
tent work. One day, after he had
been in college about g. week, he
took IA chair from his room into the
hall, mounted it and nailed over the
door a large square of cardboard on
which was painted a big black letter
V, and nothing else.
College boys do not like mysteries,
and the young mans neighbOrs tried
to make him tell what the big V
meant. Was it "fOr luck?" Was it
II joke? What was it? The sophie
mores took it up and treated the
freshman to some hazing but he
would make no answer to the Ques-
-tions they put. At last he was let
alone and his V remained over the
door, merely a mark of the eCCen-
tricity of the occupant.
Four years passed. On commence
ment day Horace Maynard delivered
the valedictory of his class, the
highest honor the college bestowed.
After he had left the platform, amid
the applause of his fellow students
and of the audience, one of his class
mates ~accOsted him:
"Was that what your 'V' meant?
Were you after the valedictory when
you tackled up that card?"
"Of course" Maynard replied.
"What else could it have been? How
else could 1 have got it?"
Maynard needed to tack no other
letters over his door. The impetus
he had gained carried him through
life. He became Il member of Con
gress, attorney general of Tennessee,
minister to Turkey and postmaster
general, and adorned every position
to which he was called.-Youth's

moves one of the best rulers In
history. Her personal power was
not so great as that of the President
Of the United States, but the world
will remember her longer o Ih0
purity and high character OF herselL
and her court than for any purely
political work. When we readot the
vice and corruption that in all MS
tory have usually surrounded royal
tv. we cannot lightly esteem the
strong character of England's great
queen. who not only eXempllhed III
her own life the noblest Christian
virtues but kept her court free from
the "wickedness in high places.
Gin that fierce light which beats
upon a throne Victoria lived a life
the good influence of which will be
enduring.
I am glad to see that the people
are becoming aroused upon the ques-
ton of public schools. But IS
also needed in other directions. In
nv humble opinion the man who puts
a good newspaper into a home hlth-
erto without it's genial influence is
a public ~benefactOr and does a deed
the good effects of which eternity
alone will tell. I do not mean a
newspaper filled with trashy stories
or sensational news or partisan
abuse, but a clean, elevating, honest
newspap containing nothing that
cannot be read with propriety in the
family circle. And the public library
is another matter in which the
South has Jagged sadly behind. AS
q North Carolina newspaper says:
"There is an old Latin phrase or
proverb, the English of which Is
The life OF man, without literature,
is death This is as true as the
Gospel, but there Ire communities
in North Carolina where its bare
mention would provoke anger. Be-
cause speaking the truth frequently
engenders hatred. The above being
true what a vast army of the dead is
moving about in North Carolina !
But it is actually true. People who
do not read, as Bro. j. W. Cobb says,
do not think, and a man who is inca
pable of doing his own thinking is a
pretty dead man. How shall we
bring the dead to life? The only
way to satisfy a hungry man is to
bring him bread. 1t will not help
him to reproach him for his hunger.
The Legislature cannot do it all.
Every man who has the light in him
self ought to be d flaming evangel
for education. Every town ought
to have it's public library as we'll as
a thorough and we'll equipped acad-
envy. We must let our light shine.
North Carolina is shamefully dark
1t is our fault. We must all be up
and doing. We must provide bread
for the hungry"
CARELESS Tom.
