ORIGIN OF BANK NOTE PRINTING.

1t is not, perhaps, generally known
that bank or Treasury note printing
is carried to greater perfection in this
country than in any other. Indeed,
says the Washington Times, the in
dustry originated in the United States,
whence it has spread to England and
most other civilized countries.
Jacob Perkins, of Massachusetts,
struck the keynote of series of great
advances in printing early in the nine
teenth century, when he substituted
steel for copper plates, and devised a
method of making transfers of the
original engraving in soft steel, which,
by being afterward hardened, could
be printed from. Through his exer-
tions in conjunction with other bank
note printers the banknotes of this
country many years ago attained that
superiority in artistic and mechanical
execution over those of all other ma
tons, which they have always since
maintained and the improvements
abroad are mainly due to the fact
that Mr.. Perkins went to London in
1913 and by his labors there, in con-
junction with an eminent London en-
graver, Mr.. Heath, gradually dis
seminated knowledge of what was,
in its inception, an American art, in
Great Britain and on the Continent
of Europe.

rise. This information is impaired to
the horse in a manner similar to the
kneeling lesson. An ingenious har-
ness makes it possible for the trainer
to draw the horse down on a soft bed
of hay without injuring him. When
the horse willingly lies down at the
word of command, he is taught to sit
upon his launches and then is grad
ually drilled into the other tricks that
always draw applause from children
and adults alike.
1t IS usually an easy matter to
teach horse to stand upon pedes-
tai, to waltz, to rear on his hind legs
and march in unison with equine COM
panions after these simple lessons are
thoroughly learned and the horse un-
derstands the trainer is his friend and
not his enemy. The horse of average
intelligence learns quickly as soon as
he realizes what is required of him.
The main requisite on the trainers S
part is patience, and if a man hasn't
got this, and lots of it, he had better
keep out of the business. If he gets
excited or impatient and goes to haul
ing the horse about unnecessarily,
the animal is sure to become uneasy
and fretful, and little experience of
this kind will spoil him.
"The better bred a horse is the
more intelligence it has and the more
apt it is to make a good performer,
provided it has been handled proper
ly from colthood. All high bred
horses, however, are nervous and re-
quire kind treatment in order to in
sure good results. -

A woman's power avails most when
it is asserted least. Strenuous, or
perhaps strenuously-I am not quite
sure which is the better form of the
insistent mounts a quality which
has long existed in people and things;
but the high honor and the important
role which are claimed for it today
are somewhat recent, and before the
claim is granted it would be well for
us to have little clearer idea of what
that quality means.
1t is simply another name for earn
estness, energy? Surely, then, it is
good thing and much to be desired
in boys and girls, in men and women.
Itisnot the highest quality. Thought
fulness is higher. Sincerity is higher.
Charity is the highest of all. But
these noble traits are enhanced in
value when they are filled with cour-
age and lived out with steady force.
The strenuous life is the life that
sounds like trumpet. 1t is domi-
nant, assertive, militant. There is
tone of defiance and strife in it. tits
next door to a strident life. If this
is what it means, it is not a natural
nor a desirable life for girls.
l take it for granted that man
and a woman are of the same worth
and not of the same kind.
A woman's special and inestimable
value in the world lies just in the
qualities which make her woman
hood. And these are things which
strenuosity must disturb, if not des-
troy.
A serene and gentle dignity, tran
quill wisdom to counsel and restrain
fine delicacy of feeling, quick to re-
joice, tender to suffer, yet patient to
endure; a subtle sense Of the value
of small, unpurchasable things; a
power of great confidence and of self
sacrifice almost limitless where love
speaks the word and duty shows the
task; an instinct of protection and
joyful pride in mothering the weak
brave loyalty to the rights of the
heart against "the freezing reasons
colder part )" a noble hunger and a
thirst for harmony an impregnable
strength of personal reserve; and an
exhaustless generosity of personal
surrender--these are the native glories
of womanhood. These are tbe things
that life, if true and well-ordered,
should deepen, unfold, brighten and
harmonic in the perfection of wo-
mans character.-Henry Uan-Dyke.

HOW FARMING PAYS.

The opinion is often expressed that
farming is about the most unprofta-
BILE pursuit of the modern man. The
growth of that idea is responsible for
much foolish discomfort and the un-
wise decisions of many thousands of
young men who annually abandon
the home farm to seek clerkships.
trades and other forms of salaried
employment in towns and cities.
Yet tilling the soil is the first divine
office given to man. The farmer
must of necessity feed all civilized
mankind. And the fact is that in
this country of ours, in spite of
droughts, floods, blights and insect
pests, we annually raise food crops
enough to give every human being in
the land three square meals a day by
fair earning and then have thousands
OF millions of bushels of grains to
ship abroad and feed millions beyond
the seas.
1t is idle to say that farming does
not pay. All men are not liars and
fools, and the farmers of America
least of all. They continue to farm
and pay for their land out of its pro-
ducts, and to buy more land, and to
buy stock, and make more comforta-
bic homes and-to educate their chill
dren above their inheritance in schools
that help to enforce the silly fiction
that farming is the poorest of trades
But let us look at Kentucky-be-
cause we have not the official figures
for Georgia at hand-and see how the
farming problem pans out in that
fairly typical Southern agricultural
state. A census bulletin issued shows
that the gross income of farms in
Kentucky in 1899, the year preced-
ing the census, was over 2I per cent.
That figure is exclusive of animal
produce-the $50, 900 race horses and
500 Jersey calves It relates sorely
to the ordinary agricultural produce
of the farms of the state, after deduct
ing the value of crops consumed on
the farms.
Can it be said, with any show of
reason, that business so original and
independent as farming ard that
brings 2I per cent. on the total in
vestment annually is failure? sit
not better than railway stocks and
bonds at S per cent. return? or fac
tory stocks at to s per cent. divi-
dends? Or trust stocks at s per
cent? Or United States bonds at Z
per cent?
We need only produce the figures
and they tell the story in terms that
can not be contradicted. The wise,
thrifty, economical farmer of Ameri-
ca-even of Georgia-has the world
by the throat, and if 2I per cent. in
come per annum does not satisfy his
ideas of profit he can make the world
pay more !-Geo1gla En-.

THE KANSAS HEN.

They talk about our zinc mines,
They talk about our lead,
And about the growing crops
And the cattle that are fed;
They talk about our navy
And our army of fighting men,
But, after all their idle talk,
They miss the Kansas hen.
love to see the growin' corn
A wavin' in the breeze.
And listen to the songs of birds
In the foliage of the trees;
l love to hear the old machine
While cuttin' off the grain,
And to the tinklin' of the bells
A comm down the lane;
But of all the sounds of melody
That's known to mortal men,
There's nothing sounds so sweet to me
AS the cackling of the hen.
The farmers wife in early spring
Went fixin' of the nests.
For well she knew when that was done
Biddy would do the rest;
To renovate the old hen-house
She lost but little time,
And fumigated floor and walls
And smeared them DER with lime;
But John he grumbled all the time
When e'er the chicks were fed:
He said, They're eatin' up my corn;
/ wish that they were dead"
Don't fret YOURSELF" his wife replied.
But he only laughed and lightly said:
"Yes, you'll pay me, in horn"
Now, John had put mortgage
On Bill, and Nell, and Gray,
And the time was comm on, he said,
When he the note must pay;
The summer passed as usual,
Except there was drouth-
The corn was short and very small,
He seemed down in the mouth;
seI0mnrr0W n
Before I'm dunned or sued,
And have talk with Mr.. Jones,
And get the note renewed;
For see no show to pay it off,
/ fear that / am stuck;
After have worked so hard,
They tell me this is luck"
His good wife said: "John. my dear,
I've heard some people say
The darkest hour of the night
Is near the break of day."
The morning came, but John was glum,
He had not much to say,
For the note he gave now was due,
And not cent to pay;
1t was Christmas morn and fearful cold,
The ground was white with snow,
And John he fingered near the fire,
He seemed so lOath to go.
II have present for you, dear;
I'll pay you for your corn;
You know told you would;
You said, Yes, but in horn.'
$50, here's the note and mortgage, too
The debt has all been paid;
l paid it off by Titles, dear,
With eggs our hens have laid"
A tear started from his eye,
It rolled down on his cheek;
He was so full he knew not why
So full he could not speak;
But after that eventful day,
That cold. drear Christmas morn,

THE SHORTEST sermon on record
was preached at Atlantic, Mich, on
a recent Sunday.
The pastor had been requested to
make his discourse brief on account
of the hot weather, so he announced
as his text Luke xvi, "a "And he
cried and said, Father Abraham, have
mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that
he may dip the tip of his finger into
water and cool my tongue for I am
tormented in this flame" The SER
mon was as follows:
'Three persons-Abraham, Dives
and Lazarus. 1t was hot where
Dives was. He wanted to get out.
So do we. Let us pray"

MOTHER AT PRAYER.

Once, says a writer, suddenly
opened the door of my mother S room
and saw her on her knees beside her
chair and heard her speak my name
in prayer. l quickly and quietly
withdrew with feeling of awe and
reverence in my heart. Soon / went
away from home to school, then to
college, then into life S sterner duties.
But 1 never forgot that one glimpse
of my mother at prayer nor the one
word-my own name-which l heard
her utter. Well did I know that
what had seen that day was but
glimpse Of what was going on every
day in that sacred closet of prayer,
and the consciousness strengthened
me thousand times in duty, in dan
ger and in struggle. When death
came at last and sealed those lips, the
sorest sense of loss I felt was the
knowledge that no more would my
mother be at prayer for me.
THE MAN who feels that he is tt1l-
1v appreciated has yet to be born.
