How Old Are You 7

One day there came to the court OF
a king gray-haired professor, who
amused the king greatly. He told
the monarch number of things he
never knew before, and the king was
delighted. But finally it came to a
point where the ruler wanted to know
the age of the professor, 80 he
thought of mathematical problem.
"Ahem !" said the king; 81 have
an interesting sum for you; it is a
trial in mental arithmetic. Think of
the number of the month of your

days before Christmas, so he thought

"And now, said the king, "might ]
ask what the result is ?"
"Twelve hundred and sixty" re-
piled the professor, wonderingly.
"Thank you," was the kings re-
sponse. $50 you were born in De-
cember, 60 years ago, eh?
"Why, how in the world do you
know?" cried the professor.
"Why," retorted the king, "from
your answer-1260. The month of
your birth was the 18th and the last
two figures give your age"

fessor. "Capital idea! I'll try it on
the next person. It's a polite way of

Value OF CornstaIks.

The by-products of cotton have
become immensely important, and
now constitute one-fourth the total
valne of the cotton crop.
The value of the corn crop bids
fair to increase very largely by rea-
son of the utilization of cornstalks.
These have been regarded up to a
recent date by the average Southern
farmer az absolutely worthless, but
it has not been very long since cot
ton seed were esteemed no more
highly.
During the last few years there
has been much experimentation with
cornstalks with the result of discov-
ering that properly used they are
worth great deal.
DR.. Hunnicutt, former assistant
State commissioner of agriculture
and q successful farmer, is deeply
impressed by cornstalk possibilities,
and is urging that due attention be
given to them.
He said on this subject recently:
"There is one crop quite abundant
on every farm. 1t is one of the
very best foods we can raise. We
refer to the cornstalk crop. After
thorough investigation we find no
good reason to take back or modify
anything that we have said on the
subject by shredding or making hay
from cornstalks. The hay is as good
as any we can make, and cattle do
as well when fed upon it. Every
man who has pulled fodder has
made a great mistake. He has lost
time and money and injured his
corn. But it is not too late to use
the stalks. The hay will be about
as good without tho fodder. You
have just lost time and labor. If
the stalks are cut and shredded the
stalk and shuck will make good feed.
On every farm there are tons of
stalks. They have money value
and food value"
1t will cost very little for any
farmer in Georgia to test this propo-
sition for himself. The number of
those who are doing so is increasing
every year, and all the reports that
we hear from them are highly salts
fectory.

Great Loss OF Texas Rice.

Beaumont, Texas, November 21.-
There was terrific rainfall to-day
throughout this section of the State.
The rain began here at 1 o'clock this
morning and continued steadily until
there were three feet of water in some of
the business streets. The stocks of
many merchants were ruined and the
losses will amount to many thousands of
dollars. In the oil fields the damage
will amount to probably 10000, many of
the ct mpanies having suffered heavily.
At Ra owood three hundred feet of the
Southern Pacific track was washed out,
and trains are delayed. In the rice
fields of Jefferson, Liberty and Hardin
counties great loss has been sustained.
1t is estimated from reports received
that eighteen inches of water fell all
over the belt named and many farmers
had stacked their rice, while others were
cutting it.

Miss Boyd's Lectures

Miss Harriet A. Boyd, who was for
some time instructor in the Misses Hebbs
School, and who has many friends here,
is winning fame by reason Of her recent
excavations in Crete and the illustrated
lectures she is giving on that subject.
She lectures in Widener Hall, Free Mu-
scum of Science and Art, Thirty-third
and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, this af-
ternoon, on the subject, "A Buried City
Of the Mysenaean Age in Crete" Fol
lowing the lecture comes an informal re-
ception in the Egyptian and Meditteran-
can section, Pepper Hall. Several VIII
mington people are TO be in attendance.
In 1901 excavations were conducted by
Miss Boyd, assisted by Miss Blanche E.
Wheeler, on the site of Gournia, Crete,
under the auspices of the American EX-
ploration Society, which is closely allied
to the Egyptian and Mediterranean sec
tion of the museum. Calvin Wells and
DR.. Charles II. Cramp provided funds
for the purpose. A buried city, with its
paved streets, houses, a shrine and pal
ace, was unearthed. The discovery fur
nished important information as to the
life of the people about 1900 Il. c.

ial Inch-wide sofia braids are in
much request. The method of sewing
introduced last year is maintained this
season: that is to say, one braid IS
placed on the other and the two are
stitched together near the edges, 50
that when the piece so made is opened
out form little ridges on the right SIDE.
Sometimes a narrow braid is intro
duced between the edges, so as to make
a thick ridge.
Among the novelties are hat shapes
made of fine rice straws in the rough,
inserted end to end. Dozers and dozens
of yards of this straw are required to
make up a single plateau, twisted
round and round. and tackled together
on the wrong side, slight space being
left between each round. These made
their appearance last season, but only
in small fiat plateaux, with no inter-
stices between the straws. They are

Others are in white. cream, palest
