what broken, succession. so that it
Is impossible to say where the one
leaves off and the other begins. Here
Is how this curious pedigree first
worked itself out: In early times. be-
fore coin was invented. barter was
usually conducted between producer
and consumer with metal implements,
as 1t still is in Central Africa at the
present day.
At first the Chinese in that unso-
.phisticated age were content to use
real hatchets for this commercial
purpose, but after q time. with the
profound mercantile instinct Of their
race, it occurred to some Of them
that when man wanted half a
hatchet's worth of goods he might as
well pay for them with half hatch
ct. Still, as 1t would be pity to spoil
a good working implement by cutting
1t in two, the worthy All Sin ingeni-
ously compromised the matter by
making thin hatchcts of the usual size
and shape, but far too slender for
practical usage. BY so doing he in

English Working Girls, Clubs.


At the exhibition held by the Eng
lish working girls clubs in the Peoples
Palace, in London. recently, great in
terest was shown In the departments Of
needlework and cookery. In the for
mer branch the girls have found q
new incentive to ambition in their de-
sire to make extra clothing for them
selves to take away On their summer
outings. This is a marked step in ad-
vance of their custom of a few years
ago, when a pocket handkerchief con-
tanned their entire outfit. They are
now actually saving money with which
to buy small trunks.
In cookery, a prize was offered for
the best Sunday dinner fol- a man,
wife and four children, at cost of
not more than 30 cents. 1t was found
necessary to divide the hcnors between
one young woman who supplied meal
of meat pie, mashed potatoes and rice,
with stewed rhubarb, and another pro-
viding pea soup, with fried bread and
dry mint, stewed beef and carrots,
cabbages, potatoes and plain pudding.
twenty-five clubs were represented
at the exhibition, comprising in all
some 1000 members from the poorest

A partno rshIp Affair.

An interesting discussion On the
relations between women's develop
ment and privileges and her econ
omic independence is reported to have
takn place recently in English Ladies'
Literary society. The fundamental
relations between property and privi-
lege were discussed. and the peculiar
bearing of the generally accepted
opinion that husbands keep their
wives" But It was shown that in
domestic labor women really "earn"
as men do abroad, and that the earn.
ings, though not translated into coin,
can still be reckoned up at the end
of the week as so much to the good Of
the common stock. This can be proved
by husband paying others to do what
his wife generally does, and the fig
ures would come out approximately
as to what woman relatively earns,
especially among the working classes.
Some ladies repudiated the thought
that woman should or could be. paid
for what are labors Of love; but Mrs.
Stcpes pointed out that there should
be 40 humiliation of the true concep-
tion of matrimony was understood. 1t

How Sci, Turtles Feed,

The study of sea turtles Is most in
teresting one. In order to get rid of the
parasites that cling 10 their shells they
often enter fresh water streams to en-
joy bath, but they are extremely timid
and take fright at the least noise. The
hunter knows, however, that the turtle
feeds In brackish streams, where the tide
falls rather low and where the turtle
grass grows in greater profusion. The
turtles cut great quantities. of the grass
and there roll it into ball. cementing
it with the clay in which the grass
growsi and in this way, when they
have managed to amass a. goodly
supply of provision, they wait for high
tide and float away seaward, feeding as
they float. The professional hunters are
quick to detect these balls, and just the
moment they do so they set their seines
and send their peggers, as the .nen are
called, in search of the feeding shoals.
Men are not the only enemies the tur-
ties have, however, for bears, raccoons
and other animals native to Flori Ia de-
stroy great numbers of them.-Balh-

cloRGIA's PEACH BELT.
Fourteen Thousand Acres In Ono District
Now Set Out With Trees.

Perhaps the largest peach-growing dis
trict in the globe is that around Fort
Valley and extending to Albany, Ga.
The peach orchards cover more than 14,-
900 acres within radius OF ten miles of
Fort Valley, and In this area there are
something like 1900, 900 peach trees, TO-
900 pear trees, 10000 grape vines, 5000
plum trees, and 1900 apple trees.
1t is impossible for one who has never
visited this region to realize what i'm
mense proportions the fruit-growing in
dustry has reached. The railroads are
taxed at the height of the season to get
the crops to markets. Each fruit car
carries an average of about 400 cases,
and this years crop will require not few
er than 1000 cars to move it. At 81 a
crate-a very low estimate-thc crop
around Fort Valley will bring in some
thing like 100000.
1t can readily be realized from these
figures what the fruit industry brings to
Georgia. There are dozen or more
fruit companies formed in Ohio, which
eva nearly 1o;eeee aeEsssseeff Of ppeaash lands
in Houston county, on which there are
more than 100000 trees. The capital
stock of these companies is something
more than 100000.
Year by year the peach-raising COM
panies are spreading out and getting
into new territory. The. part Of South
Carolina Immediately adjoining the
Georgia line is coming to the front as
peach-growing country, and the yield
there this year will be large. Old fields
which have for years scarcely been re-
garded as worth paying taxes on, are

Adapting Crop. TO Soil.

When a man owns a farm of very
i sandy land he makes mistake to
attempt to raise crops which do best
on, heavy fertile soils. for In so doing
he is Handicapped from the start and
will undoubtedly. fail to realize his
sexpectations. In farming the very first
step is to try, to adapt the crops to
the soil. IN this we merely follow ma
tnre's example. There are crops
/ which will do well on nearly every
4 kinl Of soil found In the country. Only
few barren soils refuse to produce
any kind of crops. II there is proper
amount OF moisture even the poorest
sandy soil can be made to yield some
paying crop.
Our corn requires rich, heavy soil,
sud so do most Of our other heavy
rs, and such cereals should be
.safsed only on that kind OF land. It
requires only a little study and ex-

According to the estimate Mason
has made, Josephine spent on an ay-
erage of s220,O00 yearly On her toilet
during her reign. 1t is only by going
over her wardrobe article by article
and noting the cost and number OF
each piece that one can realize how a
woman could spend this amount. Take
the simple item CT her hose-which
were almost always white silk, often
richly embroidered or In open work.
She kept 100 or more pairs On hand,
and they cost from 81 to sss a5seIsg.
She employed two hairiressers--
one for every day, at $1,000 a year;
the other for great occasions. at
$4,000 year; and she paid them each
from $1,000 to $4,000 year for fur
nishings. 1t was the same for all the
smaller items of her toilet.-Cincin-

The question Of enriching the soil

would be better results obtained with

Tho weeder and Iron Rake.

What the use of the iron-toothed

weeder is in large fields. It is but an

It kills the weeds whose seeds have.

not injure the crop whose seeds were
put an inch or more deep, and both.
have their uses even before the crop
comes up, when the rain or other
cause has made the surface Of the
ground bake to q hard, crust To
loosen this and make 1t fine not only
enables the young plants to come up
quicker and with less expenditure Of
plant energy, but it makes the sur
face soil an earth mulch to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere and
conserve that which Is beneath, and
draw 1t, up from below to the point
where the plant roots can reach it
We. know that the growth of an oak
from an acorn dropped in crevice OF
q rock can move heavy masses ofstone
and earth as It grows. At our expert
ment station they demonstrated that
the growth of squash could lift many
tons, and we. have read Of mushrooms
raising large paving stones; but we
have not yet learned that in either
case the growth which had such OBJ
stacles to contend against was any
better CT larger because OF being SO
confined or limited. Just so young
plants may break through or lift up
the crust OF rain-beaten and sun-baked
soil but We do not think they grow
any better or even as we'll for having
to do this. So we say break up the
surface soil and keep It fine with the;
weeder in the large fields, and with
the iron tooth rake in the gardens,
aud we think It will promote q more
rapid and stronger growth of the
plants. The light harrow with small,
sharp teeth has proven good sub
stitute for the weeder when that was
