Chicago News: According 10 reports
from Europe the spread of Esperanto,
the language invented for universal use,
has proved of value to E~sperantists.
At a recent gathering in London one of
the guests brought with him a French
gentleman and his wife and Il Czech
from Bohemia. None of the three could
speak a word of English. but Espe-
ranto was found to be Il perfectly facilc
medium for conversation. The Eo-
hemian gentleman had had various
amusing experiences While journoying
through Europe. He had taken one of
the Esperanto journals, marked the
names of the secretaries of the various
groups in the foreign towns through
which he had to pass, and so. not know
ing anything of the languages, he had
Travelled through several continental
counties, seeing all that was to be seen
with the help OF various Esperanto
friends, and finally arrived in England.
He knocked at the door of a London
Esperantist, who came down to inter-
view the stranger and found that he
needed a home while in London, but
did not know where to go, as no one
could understand him. There was no
difficulty as both could communicate in
Esperanto.

cigar X used in the United States
annually. and about hine-tenths of that
number Is made In New York city. The
material out Of which the best quality
Of cigar boxes are made comes prin-
cipally from Cuba and is known as
Spanish cedar. A popularity about this
wood Is that 1t always retains the flavor
Of q good cigar. Indeed, some people
claim that 1t improves the flavor. and
tne reason given for this contention is
that 1t grows In the same localities as

Something Wrong,

This question comes to us from an
eastern state. says Rural New Yorker:
"Will you advise me as to what renl-
edies and appliances l can use to ex-
terminate the San Jose scale? l have
a thrifty orchard Of young peach trees
and find the September brood Of young
scale is very heavy on them and desire
to know if there is any way to destroy
them before they are fully grown"
The experiment station in this state
has given much attention to a study of
the scale. Many bulletins have been
issued and the subject has been thor
oughly discussed, yet here is a man
who knew nothing about it. Farmers
Institutes have been held in his town
for years, and at least three times this
San Jose scale has been talked about.
Still this man does not know what to
use or where to 60 to find out. A
nurseryman told him to come to the
Rural New Yorker. Now there is some
thing wrong about this. The country
and the state are spending large sums
of money each year to provide the in
struction that farmers need. Thou
sands of farmers do not seem to know
that the state provides such instpuc-
ton. How are they to know? First Of
all, they ought to know where their eX-
pertinent station is located.

Legends About the Moon,

SIN Ceylon," says a historian, sit is
said that as Sakyamuni was one day
wandering half starved in the forest a
pious hare met him and offered itself
to be slain and cooked for dinner,
whereupon the holy Buddha set it on
high in the noon hat future genera
tons of men might see it and marvel
at it's piety."
In the Samoan islands these dark
patches are supposed to be portions of
a woman's figure. A certain woman
was once hammering something with
a mallet when the moon arose, looking
SO much like a breadfruit that the wo-
man asked it to come down and allow
her child to eat off a piece of it, but
the moon. enraged at the insult, COB
bled up woman, mallet and child. and
there in the moons belly you may still
behold them.

HINTS Q
How 20 Succeed,

The first duty of every farmer is to
provide for full barns, ~smokehouses,
grain bins and corncribs; also for all
the products of orchard and garden
that the family can consume. Then he
is sure to have strong teams, fat hogs,
plenty Of milk and butter, and cheese
if he wants it and knows how to make
it. He should plan to have enough Of
all these things even if the seasons
should be unfavorable; then in every
favorable year he will have a surplus
of several products which he may sell
to those who do not grow but must
have them. After providing for all
these things he may plant whatever
land he can properly handle with cot
ton. for cotton is salable for cash every
day in the year. Then, if he manages
to pay cash for whatever he buys. he
has added another essential Qualifica-
ton and a profitable one Of a success
full farmer, and if he continues in this
course he is sure to prosper and is on
the proper road to wealth. This is the
proper way TO curtail the cotton crop
and insure 10 cents per pound for that
| l Ia isioN L. II SuCSSSSlu
err should calculate that he will make
not less than 800 pounds of lint cotton
per acre. He can TO even better than
that. Twice 500 pounds-yes. three
times and even four times 500 pounds
have been made. But to grow more
than one 500 pound bale per acre one
must know how to do it. Those who
don't know how will content them
selves with half a bale per acre or less.
1t will be found more profitable to
make ten bales from five acres than
from twenty OF thirty acres. 1t will
pay to study some and learn how this
is done. Many farmers may find 9th
err crops that pay better than cotton.
Such farmers should give their atten-
ton to these other crops.-Farm and

IF 1t is considered that there Is no

no longer necessary for the purposes 1t

pose of establishing a fund large

However, II anything should happen,
1t would be very comfortable to feel
that we have a fund with which to
fight against an attack of disease.

1T is of the very first Importance to
have a competent and conscientious
corps of inspectors. We have here q
heterogeneous class of people. Some
are totally indifferent-provokingly in

TO court infection.
Better by far that we have no tour
list travel than that we should have pc
riodicai epidemics. We must protect
ourselves against the onslaught of dis
ease, and fund for that purpose is alb
8olutely necessary.
THE Government might take over
the work, but unless some stipulation
Is made with reference to the constant
work OF a sufficient force of inspectors,
[ for one would not feel satisfied to
sit down and allow the Government to
do all the work.
