THE END.
The Scepter,

The scepter was the emblem of pow.
er. AS the silver wand, so familiar in
ea,hedrals, was once hollow, containing
the ''virge," or rod with which chas-
tisement was inflicted uron the choris-
ters and younger members Of the foun-
dation, SO the royal scepter represented
the right to infiict punishment. Hence
the expression, so sway the scepter,"
implied the holding of regal dignity.
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional Specification of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions of the
sovereign. The same idea was con-
veyed by Rheims by the beautiful cere-
mony of letting loose number of doves
at the coronation Of the French kings.
Good Words.

All of you boys who are fond OF
shooting at a mark, and have read OF
the wonderful performances Of the
South American natives with the blow
gun, may easily make blow gun for
yourselves without any trouble to
speak of. The blow gun shown In
the picture Is not made of bamboo or
wood, nor even of glass, but simply of
strips Of wrapping paper pasted togeth-
er and rolled into long spiral tube.
1t is not blow gun in form only. but
a blow gun which will shoot as straight
at q mark as any blow gun ever made.
Gut out some long paper strips of
heavy wrapping paper (three or FOUR
four inches In width. Then thorough
ly paste two Of these strips on both
sides. When you have done this-thor-
oughly, mind you-start to roll one of
them into spiral tube, as shown in
diagram. This tube should measure
half an inch across. When you have
rolled up the first strip almost to the
end lap the remaining unrolled part
about one inch over the second strip,
and proceed with the rolling Continue
in this way until you have made a
long tube, measuring four or five feet
in length. This matter of rolling the
paper is very simple, and it only re
quires care to keep the tube the same
size for its entire length. In fact, this
is all the work there is in the making
of blow gun, and it is so little that in
case. after rolling the tube, you find
it not exactly the same width through
out it's entire length, advise you to
at once unron it and start to roll over
again. If the paper is thoroughly sat
urated with pastel don't mean by
this that paste should be laid on very

We used to believe in what we read
when young about the value of plow-

had leached down through the surface
soil into the subsoil. Our opinion was
changed when we tested the deep

experiments have more thoroughly con-

we mean a depth of more than four to

iment station at a recent test found
that counting wheat at 81 per 100
pounds, cottonseed meal at $1.50, and
rating butter at II cents per pound, and
placing the value of skim milk against
the hauling, there would be very
handsome profit in the transaction;
therefore, that it would pay farmers
great deal better to purchase cotton
seed meal and increase the amount
both of wheat straw and ground wheat
and thus keep their cows in milk, avoid
ing the shutting of the creamery with
all the evil results which follow. -
