What Makes Things Grow.

According to Maurice Springer, a
French writer on the subject, the en-
ergy of growth Is closely related to
electric energy and may be identical
with it. At any rate, growth energy Is
closely connected with the phenomenon
called osmOsis-that Is, molecular pres
sure due to differences of density in
adjacent liquid masses. Such mOlecu-
lar pressure in the cells Of the body he
believes to be the phenomenon that un-
derlies the multiplication of these cells
in growth, and osmosis has been shown
by experiment to be closely connected
with electricity. The writer referred
to believes that we shall soon be able
to measure growth energy as we now
do heat or electricity and perhaps con-
troll it so as to produce tall or short
families or races at our pleasure

BOOKS AND READING.

Reading is to the mind what exercise
is to the body.-Addison.
A home without books is like room

To read without rejecting is like eat

Books are the best things well used;
abused, among the wOrst.-Emerson.
Next to acquiring good friends the
best acquaintance is that Of good
books.-Cotton.
Some books are to be tasted, others
to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested.-BacOn.
Half the gossip Of society would per-
ish if the books that are truly worth
reading were but read.-Dawson.
What is a great love Of books? 1t Is
something like personal introduction

The three practical rules l have to
offer are: a. Never read any book that

but famed books; 81 never read any

1t is difficult to determine the finan-
cial benefits the farmers receive from
the establishment of the system of ru-
raj free dcliv ary, but eXAsSiStant Post
master General Heath, treating of the
question in one of his reports. summed
up the benefits to farmers as follows:
Enhancement of the value of the
farm lands reached by rural free deliv-
cry. This increase of the value has
been estimated as high as s. per acre
in some states. \ moderate estimate is
from 81 to S.} per acre. \ general im-
prOVrment of the conditions of the
roads travcrscd by the rural carrier.
In the western states especially the
construction of good roads has been a
prerequisite of the establishment of
rural free delivery. In one county in
Indiana special agent reports that
the farmers incurred an expense of
over $4,000 to grade and gravel a road
in order to obtain rural free delivery.
Better prices obtained for farm prod
uctS the producers being brought into
daily touch with the state of the mar
ketS and thus being enabled to take nd-
vantage of information heretofore I'M
attainable."
And then he very forcefully adds:
''TO these material advantages may
be added the educational advantages
conferred by relieving the monotouy
of farm life through ready access to
wholesome literature and the keeping
of ali rural residents, the young pec-
pie as well as their elders, fully in
forE!cd as TO the stirring events Of
the day. The moral value of these civ
iliZing influences cannot be too highly
rated"
But let the rural population not fail
10 observe that the statement is made
that the construction of good roads
has been Il prerequisite of the eStab-
lishmcnt of rural free delivery serv-
ice" ana it will be continued pre-
requisite IN the future. 1t is an old
Gdage that the Lord helps those who
he,0 themselves" and the government
seems to think it a rule worthy of en-
u.ation. This great boon of rural free
mail delivery with all of its conven-
fences and educational .and moral in
fiuences will be denied those communi-
ties that lack the energy and spirit of
progress to pave the way for it by paw
ing the ways over which the mail must
be carried TO their homes

Chicken Pox and Smallpox.

The eruption Of chicken pox has an
imperfect resemblance to that of small
pox, but can never be mistaken for it
by the experienced eye. In smallpox
the eruption Of papules first appears
on the forehead. the 'papules" always
become "bladders." and the latter al
ways develop into pustules-that is,
sooner or later their contents get
changed into pus. Then the center of
the pustules undergoes peculiar sink
ing that in some measure resembles the
depressions in cushion or padded
chair where the buttons" are seen. In
chicken pox there is no such uniform
fly Of sequence, and the depressions are
absent.

WONDERS OF THE NEEDLE.
Beautiful Work of the Artisans of
Former Centuries.

The wonders of the needle were in
ancient times in Egypt, India, Baby
lonia and PhHnicia mainly lavished
by women on wells and hangings for
temples. Connoisseurs consider the veil
decorating the tomb of Mohammed at
Medina, priced at 100000 rupees,
the most marvellous piece of embrOid-
cry ever made. Its pattern, a cunning
Interlacing of scrolls and arabesQues,
exclusively delineated with rare pearls
ard precious stones, produces, when
exposed to the rays of the sun, a stu
pcndous effect of coloring, soft and har-
mOnious and equal to the bold graceful
ness of the design. Linen, silks, leath'
or and the richest stuffs were in turn
beautitied with the little insignificant
tool, the needle.
Diaphanous Indian muslin charming
ly embroidered with green beetle wings
Is still renowned, as well as examples
of painted spangles and artificial pearls
strewn amid devices wrought in gold.
But where is now to be found the in
comparable Decca muslin, thirty yards
of which We're once inclOsed for tur-
ban in an ordinary cOcoanut incrusted
with gems and presented by Persian
ambassador to his master, the shah.
Other varieties known as invisible
have also disappeared. The term orig
mated from the fact that when dipped
in water or spread out on the grass the
material was lost to the eye through
its extreme fineness.
The trained fingers have disappeared,
and through modern competition GUS
toners are no longer willing to pay the
real value of genuine hard work. This
superiority of eastern craftsmen over
their western fellows was recognized
centuries ago first by Portuguese, who
were in the habit of sending satin to
India to be embroidered by the natives
after European designs, a fashion
which at times renders somewhat puz-
zling the classification of the marvels
of handiwOrk.
The French followed suit, since the
majority of the Louis XVI. court sets,
including coat, waistcoat and breeches
in satin. velvet, plush or corded silk,
so eXquisitely adorned with delicate
sprays and admirable borders wrought
in satin and tambOur stitches, are due
to the skill and industry of the Chi
nese, who have reproduced the French
devices with floss silk in such lovely
and fast colors, which still appear in
all their beauty, with a mellowness i'm
parted by time, which further adds to
their charm.-Ledger Monthly.

One of the greatest arguments for
good roads is The rural free delivery
TIE last report of the poStoiice depart
mcnt says:
''Eural free delivery service has be-
com" an established fact. 1t is no Ion
ger in the experimental stage. and un.
doubtcdly congress will continue to in.
crease the appropriation for this Scrv-
ice until all the peopl" of the country
are reached where ii is thiclly enough
settled to warrant il. The estimates of
the department are to the effect that
the availabl" territory for this service
embraces about "a million SulIaI" miles,
or onc-third of the countryS area eX-
elusive of Alaska. The 900 routes
now in operation cover about onc-third
of the available territory. The rapid
extension of the service will of course
increase the deficits during the next
three years. After il is completed the
revenues viii! quickly feel the effect of
its ablishnlrnt, and whatever deficit
may be OcCaSon"d will gradually dis
appear. 1t will also be interesting to
note that rural free delivery carriers
received applications during the last
year for G2J.9iG money ordcrs.'
Recent experiments have demonstrate
ed that this service can be extended in
many localticS to the rural population,
says the president of the Missouri Good
Roads association. There is one obsta-
Gle. however. that has confronted most
of the efforts to extend this system,
and this is th" absence of roads over
which carriers can cover sufficient ter
ritory in Il given time and with regu-
larity at all seasons of the year.
What greater benefit could accrue to
a farmer living Il number of miles from
a town or poStofiice than to have his
mail delivered daily at his door? How
much of the mOnotony of his isolation
would be removed if he could receive
