THREE WOMEN'S ERAS.
The Ages of Queens Elizabeth, Anne
and Victoria Were Remark
able EpOchs.

It is a remarkable fact that three
sovereign ladies-Elizabeth Anne and
Victoria-have given their names to
the three greatest periods of English
literature, which were also eras of
notable military conquest. Elizabeth,
herself learned but stilted and pc
dantic writer, gave an impulse to au-
thorship which eliminated in Shake
speare and Bacon and a brilliant gal
axy of lesser lights. The reign of
Queen Anne, a dull, commonplace, in
dolent woman with no intellectual as
pirations, was rendered illustrious by
the genius of Prior, Pope, Swift, Adj
Olson, Defoe, Congreve and other au-
thors, while Newton and Berkeley
were making valuable discoveries in
science, then in it's infancy, and MARI
borough was winning brilliant VIC
tories.
Space fails for mention of even the
foremost of the writer's who have lent
honor and renown to the Victorian age
names familiar as household words.
Victoria herself made some modest es-
says in authorship-chron of the
travels and domestic life of the royal
family in it's various resorts, which
greatly endeared her to her people, for
even the most trivial personal details
of the reigning house are of surpass-
ing interest. Remarkable as were the
literary achievements of the Victorian
age, and worthy as were the contribu-
tons to art and music, they fall far
below the signal triumphs achieved by
science in this reign of almost "a years
the longest in British annals.
Still greater than all the achievements
of art, literature and science, which
have lent such luster to the Victorian
age, says the Minneapolis Tribune, are
it's abolition of ancient abuses, the edu-
cational and philanthropical activities,
it's efforts for ameliorating the horrors
of war and for settling international
difficulties by peaceful arbitration
rather than by the sword.

STRONG WAGON JACK.
As 1t Is Not Patented, Anyone Can
Easily and CheapIy Make One
at Home.

The wagon jack shown in the ac-
companying illustration is not pat
ented. Anyone can make it easily.
The construction is seen at glance.
A consists of two strong pieces of
wood, and are connected with strap
hinge at c. This is bolted to the
lever at and to the base at d. On
the end of the lever a strong iron
hook is secured. When the axle is
to be raised, disengage the iron rod
at and let the jack assume the po-
sition as shown by the dotted lines.

BUOYANCY MELLOWS, AGE.
Years Do Not Count If the Feeling
of Youth Still Stirs With
in Us,

People grow old by thinking them
selves old. When they reach the age
of 40, so or 60, they imagine that they
look like others of the same age, and
that they soon will be useless, unfit
for work and unable to perform their
wonted duties. AS surely as they
think it it will come true, for thought is
creative, says a philosophic writer.
How many of US can say with Job:
''The thing which I greatly feared is
come upon me-"
The time will come when children
will not be allowed to celebrate their
birthdays; when they will know that,
by thinking themselves young, they
will remain young, and that they will
cease to grow old when they cease
to believe in old age. The body is
built up of beliefs, and our convictions
are stamped upon every fiber of our
beings. What we believe, what we
think, that we are; so people remain
young in spirit never grow old.
Not one of hundred students, of
whom the writer was one, under Oliver
Wendell Holmes, at Harvard ever
thought of him as an old man, al
though he had then passed his eight
ieth birthday. His spirit was so young
and he was so buoyant, SO fresh and
full of life, that we always thought
of him as one of ourselves. His vi
vacity and joyousness were contagious.
You could not be in his presence five
minutes without feeling brighter and
better for it.. The genial doctor never
practiced medicine, yet he did more to
relieve human suffering than many
practicing physicians. His presence
was tonic; it was a perpetual de-
light to be near him.

The Poros4ty of Soils.

The amount of water necessary to
saturate soil depends on several fac
tors, the most important of which is
the 'porosity," or amount of space
between the soil particles. The porosi-
ty of soil depends upon the size of
the soil particles Cor teXture) and the
way in which these particles are
grouped together, and upon the space
between the PARTICLES or groups of par
ticles. If soil be cemented together
into a homogeneous mass, it's porosity
sinks to minimun; if it be COM
posed, however, of numerous fine par
ticles, each preserving its own physi-
cal condition, the porosity of the soil
will rise to a maximum. The porosity
of soil may be judged very closely
by the percentage of fine particles it
yields on mechanical analysis. A fine
ly-divided soil has a high capacity for
absorbing moisture and holding it.

A Car Load of Dimes.

One would naturally think that the pack
age dye business was small industry, but
there is more than one million dollars worth
of package dyes sold in the United States
every year.
One of the largest package dye factories
in the world is that of the Putnam Fadeless
Dyes Co., KNOXVILLE, Mo. In this factory
alone, three million packages of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes are made every year. To
put up this amount of dyes requires the
handling of seven million of envelopes, think
of it, seven millions of envelopes laid length
wise would reach a distance of seven hun
dred miles; if laid one upon the other they
would make pile of Putnam Fadeless Dyes
a miles high. AS each envelope has to be
handled five times before package is com
plete, the completion of three millions Of
packages requires that they be handled
thirty-fve million times. This of course
gives employment to a number of people,
the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone
employ. almost hundred people, 80 per
cent. of whom are young ladies.
As each package retails for 10c the weight
of the retail price of the three millions pack
ages in dimes is $4,000 pounds, or almost
car load.

Nothing to support His Dignity.

Among the peers who have inherited
barren titles is the young earl of Sea-
field, who at the age of IL succeeded
to an earldom, two viscounties and two
baronies, without SO much as single
acre of land to maintain his dignities.

ONE ACRE OF CORN.
Michigan Farmer Submits Figures
Which Prove ConcIusiveIy That
the Crop Is Profitable.

/ send you herewith an account of
an experimental test of the cost of
growing an acre of corn. / was in
duced to make the test after reading
statements at different times that
were conflicting as to cost of produc-
ton. That it pays to raise corn if
you raise the right kind and grow it
the right way, it seems to me is
shown by the figures herewith given.
I planted Worlds Fair Yellow Dent
corn, which yielded 112 bushels Tin
the earl, Is of which were soft and
81 suitable to crib. 1t was planted
between the 10th and 18th of June,
1901, sowed one way three feet,
kernel every nine inches the other
way. Use of land and seed is not
taken into account. Yield was the
increase from 90 kernels planted in
1900, and only one-half of what the
90 kernels produced was used in
planting the acre. The accounting
as given below brings cost of raising
one bushel ears of corn in this ex-
pertinent to II 1856 cents. The fig
ures of cost in detail are as follows:

squares of 10 feet. To bind the
shock required the whole length of a
seven-foot step-ladder, and a shock
compressor with ten feet of rope at
tached to encircle top of shock. TAX
ing into consideration the lateness
of planting, it is quite a fair yield.
The corn was cut before any frost.
