The Life Of a Seed.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is making experiments
for the purpose of determining the
extreme vitality Of seeds. Over a
hundred species of plants have been
packed in a soil consisting Of dry clay
inclosed in pots and buried at vary
ing depths underground-eight sets at
a depth of SIX inches, twelve at a
depth of twenty, and third set OF
twelve at a depth Of three and a half
feet. At the end Of one, two, three,
FIVE, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty, TWEEN
ty-Gve, thirty, forty and fifty years a
set from each depth will be exhumed
and tested. The results Of the exper-
iment are likely to be of e1traordl-
nary value to oagriculturists, both COM
mercially and scientifically. Incl
dentally, it may be recalled that au-
thentic cases are on record which
prove that certain seeds have the
power of sprouting after having been
buried for long periods of time, relia-
bic tests having shown that twelve
out of twenty.one species have the
power of terminating after twenty
years.

Work and Rest.

After work comes rest. When they
alternate perfectly a man may pre-
pare to enjoy real happiness. When
they alternate perfectly man will
enjoy beth the work and the rest that
follows it.
Nature is just old lady. She sell
dom gives a man more than he needs.
If he elects to live lazy life she let's
his muscles get fabby and his brain
go sleepy. She never permits him to
long possess a faculty or a nerve or
muscle or a sinew that he does not
use.
The proper way to keep your mus
cles or your brains is to use EN- up
and let nature provide you with y
fresh supply. Nature is assisted in
this work by rest. One may rest
sometimes by seeking change Of ID
Dor. Labor thus becomes recrea.
tion-re-crestion.
To live happily in this world it is
not enough to know how to work. A
man must also know how to rest. Tie
man who knows only how to woik k
will soon wear out If be doesn I
wear out Immediately his work will
suffer in some way. No man can 10
his best work unless be alternates il
with a little play or little rest.
A man who can't drop his work
from his mind as readily as he can
drop his tools from his hands had bet
ter take few weeks off to study the
rest question. His nerves are not
what they should be.
If a man wishes to keep his nerve,
let him avoid nerves.

Hymn Saved His Life.


The power Of a song is something
indeed wonderful at times. This is
well illustrated by story, and true
one. told long ago.
Two Americans who were crossing
the Atlantic met in the cabin on Sun
day night to sing hymns. AS they
sang the last hymn, Jesus, Lover Of
Ny Soul, one of them heard an e1-
ceedingly rich and beautiful voice be-
hind him. He looked around, and,
although he did not know the face, he
thought that be knew the voice. So,
when the music ceased, he turned and
asked the man if be had been in the
Civil War. The man replied that be
had been a Confederate soldier.
Were you at such place on such
a night?" asked the first.
"Yes, be replied, "snd curious
thing happened that night which this
hymn has recalled to my mind.

edge Of a wood. II wat a dark night

hymn:
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee | BRING;

With the shadow Of Thy wing.
After singing that strange peace
came down upon me, and through the
long night l felt no more fear. "
Now" said the other, listen to
my story. l was Union soldier and
was in the woods that night with a
party of scouts. saw you standing,
although I did not see your face. My
men had their rifles focused upon you,
waiting the word to fire, but when
you sang out

With the shadow Of Thy wing,

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave
There are souls that are pure and true;

Then give TO the world the best you have.
And the best will come back to you

Speak Kindly Of Woman.

We heartily endorse the following
from an exchange: Remember this,
young man. Be careful how you
speak Of woman's character Think
how many years she has been build
ing it, of the tolls and privstions en-
dured, of the wounds received, and
let no suspicion follow her actions.
The purity Of woman is the salvation
Of the race, the hope Of future great
ness, the redemption of man. Wipe
out her purity and man sinks be-
meath the wave Of despair, with not a
star to guide bic life into a channel Of
safety. Think then before you speak
and remember that any hog can root
up the the fairest flower that ever
grew, 50 the yilest man can ruin the
purest woman's character.
