THE CUT MUST BE RIGHT.
An Old Tailor's Opinion Regarding
Sermons as Well as
Clothes.

William Dean Howells was at Oxford,
where an honorary degree had been con-
ferred upon him. He was walking down
High street with an aged fellow of Brase-
nose college, relates London exchange.
The talk. turned to the passing OF one
literary school and the rise Of another,
and the Oxford man said;
81 am reminded of an old clergyman
used to know in Woodstock.
"He was very old. The only person
in his parish of equal age with him was
a tailor, and the tailor and he were great
friends. They often called on each
other. .N
"Well, one evening the clergyman sat
in the tailor's shop. He was quiet and
thoughtful. He gazed into the fire in
silence for a long time. Finally he said
with sigh:
"James can't tell why 1t Is that oul
congregation is getting mailer ano
smaller : am sure l preach as well as
ever l did, and l must have gathered
great deal of wisdom and experience
since I first came among you"

SUGAR BEET EXPERIMENTS
Colorado Grower Explains How He
Secured a Net Profit of SAL
Per Acre.

The field upon which my prize crop
of sugar beets was grown was low,
level land, with just enough slope to
the east for easy irrigation. Being a
sandy loan, it worked with compare
tive ease. The land is worth about $50
per acre. The year previous to grow.
ing beets the land was seeded to peas,
but was so full of alkali that the crop
did not grow well. However, it was
given good cultivation and the weeds
were kept down.
Previous to planting the seed, the
ground was plowed, partly in March
and partly the previous August About
March 25 it was thoroughly narrowed
and also compacted. The seedbed was
in good condition. No fertilizers were
lsed. The seed was planted April 3, on
comparatively dry ground, 20 pounds
seed being used to the acre. The beet
seed cost ten cents per pound and was
put in with a two-horse press drill and
covered ~ inches deep. The rows were
| IS inches apart. Cultivation was com,
paratively easy, the land being har.
rowed crosswise to- break the crust be-
fore the seed came up.
The early part of the season was
quite dry, consequently there were few
weeds to contend with. The beet plants
were thinned May Is to 21 and the
crop was cultivated May 25, June s
and 20, and irrigated June 23. Cultiva-
ton was repeated July 10. July "a a
heavy rain fell and from then on the
crop required no further cultivation or
irrigation.
I began harvesting about November
1. The beets were plowed out with q
three-horse beet plow The crop aver.
aged about Is tons to the acre. The
- were large and fairly smooth
H.. operation of harvesting was quite
simple. After the beets were plowed
out, they were pulled, topped and
placed in piles. AS soon as they were
topped, they were covered with weeds
to prevent willing. Part of them wert
sliced and all were hauled to the fac
tory as soon as possible.
The financial statement of growing
this acre of beets is as follows: Inter

heated horse must receive attention as

when he is already hot, but this will
be a kindness and will prevent other
suffering, as 1t will permit him to cool

"lt was only a little carbolic acid and

Never mind if you had only to do that,
the chemist declared. Don't you know
that every prescription must take at least
half an hour to prepare, or the customer
will think he isn't getting anything Tor
his money?
"When prescription for salt and water

Of the Santa Cecilia academy in Rome,

WHERE TREES MUST HURRY
Speedy Growth Necessary to Keep
Ahead of Accumulations on
| Mississippi Bars.

The waters of the Mississippi are at all
times so full of the seeds of plants and
trees that wherever the current slack
ems enough to allow them to be depos-
tied they germinate, If the water gives
them a chance, and send up plants in an
incredible number A sandbar which
is left long out of water, says Youths
Companion, is quickly covered with a
growth of young willow or cottonwood
trees, which shoot up tall and slender,
and so close together that they appear
like yellow hair on mans head; hence
the sandbars so covered become known
as "towheads."
A tree which grows in such place
often has to push up faster, than dry
land tree would find it possible to do,
in order to keep ahead of the ground;
for the river at each rise deposits more
and more sand and silt about its roots.
A recent examination of the willow
trees growing on the Angeles bar, below
Cairo. ILL.,, showed that some of them,
which were but six feet tall above
ground had stems 16 feet long under
ground, reaching down to their roots.
That represents their growth in their
contest with the river.
Sometimes when the land on which a
| tree stands is overwhelmed by sim
gle great flood and deep deposit is
made, the tree adapts itself to the
change by putting out new roots near
the new surface of the ground. A queer
result of such an occurrence was log
which for a long time lay on the head
of Beef Island-Island Number Forty
few miles above Memphis. A gum
tree. about 16 inches in diameter, had
evidently been overwhelmed and sur.
rounded by new deposit Of earth ter
feet in depth. 1t had thereupon put ou'
new set of roots ten feet above the ole
ones, and continued to grow Wher
at last the river in another changt
swept 1t entirely away and cast it W
on the head of Island Number Forty, tht
lower trunk was still 16 inches in diane
ter, but above the second circle of root
the bole was nearly 80 inches through
The irregular trunk, with its two cir
cles of roots. attracted much attention
from steamboat passengers. 1t wa
close by the landing at the head of tn
island and was the target for man,
cameras when boats ran in to delive
freight or take on bale of cotton.
The hurrying growth Of the willow
: and cottonwoods is great boon to tn
government engineers, for they GU
them in huge quantities to weave int
! mats with wire cables, which, sunk be
low water-level and ballasted by heav
stones, form the basis Of the "reyet

BEAUTY OF GOOD NATURE.
Many an Otherwise Plain Face Is Re-
deemed by Its Expression
of Good Will.

Now, that girl was absolutely wrong.
Good nature does not mean any of those
things. 1t means happy, sunshiny ma
ture, doing kindly little services for 9TH
ers, obliging, ready to do more than your
share of work-no crossness or peeVlsn-
ness, says the Detroit Free Press.
Oh, it's a great blessing, the quality
of good nature.
1t does not mean that you are in the
slightest degree weak, but it does usual
ly mean that you put self in the back
ground, doing for others much that they,
taking advantage of your good nature,
will not take the trouble to do for you.
II you have ever lived with peevish
or sulky person, you can appreciate the
blessing of living with good-natured
one.
Peevishness is sometimes the result
of poor health, suffering has warped
the entire nature until nothing is good
or lovely in the eyes of the unhappy suf-
ferer.
But sulkiness is purely the result OF
brooding over real or fancied wrongs
making yourself and everyone else un'
happy
The misery of living with sulky per
son is untold.
The good-natured person will. ol
course, always be imposed upon to g
certain degree, but you can be good
naturedly firm and make stand wher
you think the selfish ones are pushing
you too hard.
Good nature is great beautifier
Many an otherwise plain face is re
deemed by its expression Of good will
toward all mankind.
Men are always anxious to meet
pretty girl, but if they find that he
beauty is only on the surface they yer
quickly tire Of her.
Beauty is very fine as luxury, br
for steady, everyday use sweetness {
disposition is much more satisfactor,
And don't imagine that because gi
+. Is good natured she has no other charm
t Cultivate good nature-it is invall
r able all through life.
