Do You Want a Pound2

A cable dispatch from London
reads that the price of radium has
been reduced from 81 ,OOO, 900, to
5000, 600 q pound. Many had come
to the conclusion that million dol
lars for one small pound was rather
exorbitant and were preparing to do
with out it. Radium is the most im.-
porant discovery in the last genera
ton and epochal in the history of
science. 1t is powder, a eombina-
ton of metals, which gives of a
light almost as strong as the light OF
the Sun. 1t is far ahead of Roent-
gen rays the scientific sensation
of six years ago, as these rays are
ahead of twilight. Only two pounds
are known to be in existence.

The days of knight-errantry have
passed, but the spirit of the gallant
knights of the olden times still lives
and men yet do valorous deeds for
their lady-loves. Tuesday last was
one of the coolest. most disagreeable
days of the Winter, but Mr.. Thomas
Trossbach, of Ridge, dared the in
clemency of the weather and the
roughness of the roads, and rode
horseback from the Ridge to Leon
ardtown and back to the Ridge dis

cure a license for his marriage to
Miss Mamie Ridgell. Manga knight,
famed in song and story, did less

ulations and best wishes for their
success and happiness are extended
our gallant young friend and his
fair bride.

The Farmers n

With a sudden shout Nicholas voiced the glori-
fcation of toil-of honest work well done. He
felt with the force of a revelation that to throw
up the clods of earth manfully is as benefcent as
to revolutionize the world. 1t was not the matter
of the work, but the mind that went into it that
counted, and the man who was not content to do
small things well would leave great things undone.
The beasts before him did not shirk their labor
because it was clay and not gold dust that trailed
behind the pillow; why should he? And where was
happiness, if it sprung not from the soil? Where
cO~ntentment, if it dwelt not near to nature? For
what was better than these things-the clear air
of sunrise, the keen, sweet smell of the fertile
earth, the Taxation of tired muscles? Why
should he, who had been born to the soil, strug-
gle forth to alien ends as a sightless earthworm
to the harrow's teeth 1Glasgow's "The Voice
of the People,"

Good Roads and the Farmer.

The Improvement of the country roads can be
justified also on the ground that the farmer, the
first and most important producer of wealth,
ought to be in position to hold his crop and mar
ket it at the most favorable opportunity, whereas
at present he is virtually under compulsion to
sell it as soon as it is matured, because the roads
may become impossible at any time during the
fall, winter, or spring. Instead of being his own
warehousman the farmer is compelled to employ
m~iddlemen, and share with them the profits upon
his labor.
I believe, as a matter of justice to the farmer,
he ought to have roads that will enable him to
keep his crop and take it to the market at the
best time, and not place him in a position where
they can run down the price of what he has to
sell during the months he must sell, and then,
when he has disposed of it, run the price up and
give the speculator what the farmer ought to
have.
The farmer has a right to insist upon roads
that will enable him to go to town, to church,
to the school-house, and to the homes of his
neighbors, as occasion may require; and, with
the extension of rural mail delivery, he has addi-
tional need for good roads in order that he may
be kept in communication with the outside
world.-Hon. W. J. Bryan.

For Students to Think About.

Ihat education alone is worth having which
teaches men how and what to learn, that includes
original thought and trained observation. Those
young men who think to finish their education in
school or college are those who commonly get the
least value out of the course. The successful men
of the day are not those whose heads are stuffed
with other peoples ideas, but rather those who
have been trained to think in proper directions
for themselves. There is a vast difference be-
tween knowledge, which is the memorizing of
facts, and education, which is the training of the
faculties to some useful purpose.-American
Cultivator.
