the sight that met Skowhegan
woma1's view when she opened her
satchei in the Skowhegan car en-
route to Lewiston.
:. She had wondered for some time
what it was that was swelling out
the sides Of her satchel in such an
unproportienate manner. and she
opened the satchel to find out. She
struggled to close it, but she could
not. The man in the rear seat looked
over her back to see what the matter
was. The conductor stopped to look
at her in her helpless state.
Whats the matter. madam" he
inquired.
"Oh. nothing. Bread is rising, can't
you see? Oh. get away"
She got ha, fingers in the dough
and then she got mad. She tried to
pull them. She tried to close the
satchel, but it would not close.
'Ccnfound that thing" she said,
and the satchel, comb. mirror and
dough disappeared out through a
window.
When she tells her friends about
the case now she laughs at the horr!d
fellow-passenger and conductor. but
she did not feel like it then.
She was coming to visit friend In
Lewiston. This friend admired her
bread very much and said it was the
best in the world. so. not having any
bread ready to bring with her, she
seized upon large piece Of dough
which was rising in pan before the
are and wrapping it in a napkin she
placed it in her grip with the above

SEEDS FOR THE SOUTH.
The -Seed-GrOving Industry of GeOr-
gia as a Side Line for South
ern HOrtfculturfsts.

One of the most helpful and practical
addresses made before the Horticultur-
al Society Of Georgia recently assem-
bled at Athens, was that by Mr.. N. l..
Willet of Augusta, the title of which
was THE seed growing industry in
Georgia, as a side line for Horticul-
turists." The address will be published
in full by the society, and we believe
it will do great good. Mr.. Willet's idea
was that no farmer could afford to
grow scrub seeds and hybrid seeds on
his farm. Unless a planter proposes to
hybridize and name a certain type OF
his own growing, then he should only
grow straight highest grade types, and
types well known. His idea was that
every farm should be a kind of exhi-
bition farm of these well known and
usually sold seeds, and that every
farmer should be able to furnish GER
tain types at good prices for seed pur-
poses of the various farm growths. He

A WORD OF WARNING.
Mrs. Russell Sage Deplorcs the Grow

Apartment Life.

"Are we becoming a nation without
honest" This is the vital question dis
cussed by Mrs. Russell Sage in the Club
woman.
Mrs. Sage in a searching arraignment
points out the various causes which are
leading us to that much-dreaded re-
proach of homelessness. Apartment
life" she says, (which Is really the solu-
ton of a knotty problem, brought about
by the typographical formation of our
metropolis and the enormous increase
in the population, has come to be an &C.
cepted fact. 1t is, nevertheless, detri-
mental to family life, and makes real
home life almost impossible.
When l first came to New York some
years ago a schoolmate of mine was
then living in one of the first apartment
houses, where a breakfast of coffee and
rolls was the only meal served for the
guests. She met her husband after his
business hours, and they dined at some
fashionable restaurant. When l asked
her where she went to church, she re-
piled: oh, I go to church on the same
plan as l eat my dinner. l read over the
notices In the Sunday papers, and If one
minister is particularly attractive we go
there. If o n appeals to us, we read or
go for a walk, and amuse ourselves in
whatever way seems preferable at the
time
There is certainly a growing desire
on the part Of women to free themselves
from all household cares. Hotel life Of
fers to many the easiest solution of the
domestic question, and lazy women are
really to blame for their trouble with
servants, as the duties of the mistress
toward the latter are not properly dis
charged. Three of my servants, the

with me 80, 20 and 10 years, respective

ton has troubled me personally. A COM
mon interest binds us together. Feeling
that this Is their home as well as mine,
they do not refuse to do extra service

excess is transplanted from the city to

IDEALS IN LIFE.
The Life That Is Full of Health for
Enjoyment ond Strength
for Accom-

Life needs more than duration to be
worth living. An ideal is that it shall
be full of health for enjoyment and
strength for accomplishment, says
Bishop H. w. Warren. There are
plenty of directions whereby thine
health shall spring forth speedily and
thou shalt be like a watered garden
whose waters fail not; thou shalt
bring forth fruit in old age. thou shalt
Lord and renew your strength, mount
up on wings as eagles, u and not be
weary, walk and not faint" The Bible
is the athletes own textbook. BY a
hundred statements and figures he Is
told to be strong, to quit himself like
a man; told how his bow may abide in
strength; how Samson became strong
and how, in the lap of Delilah, he be-
came weak; it tells how David mas
tered the f%erceness of wild beasts and
of wilder men: how Daniel found out
that the people that do know their
God shall be strong to do exploits"
Another ideal for men is hat they
be wise. No book SO rings with ex-
hortation to get wisdom, to have I'M
derStanding, to cease to be fools and
children in understanding. 1t tells
where wisdom is 10 be found, and puts
a value upon it that no eager pupil
burning the midnight oil appreciates.
Wisdom is the principal thing, there

Ophir, with the precious onyx, nor the
sapphire. The gold and the crystal
cannot equal it, and the exchange of
it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
No mention shall be made of coral or
of pearls, for the price of wisdom is
above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia
shall not equal it, neither shall it be
valued by means of fine gold" Then
it tells is where this priceless thing
may be found and gives us the al

the volumes Of wisdom there are in the
earth and sky. Of course, the getting

best result of seeking. Our own ma

Meanest Man i'm Illinois.

The Leaf River (Ill.) Mirror thinks
the meanest man lin Illinois lives at
Centralia. He put a large proclaim
egg in the nest OF IN ambitious hen
and found that the eggs she had after

he put a goose egg in the nest; the
aforesaid hen laid an egg just as large.
He was So pleased with the scheme
that he put a w~hitewashed football in
the nest and awaited results. When
he went the next time to search for
eggs he found one as high as a football,
but no hen in sight. Securing the egg,
he saw engraved on 1t by the hen
photography these words: "Im no

Later he found the hen inside the egg.
