OLD-STYLED MANNERS.

"Mrs. Martha Foot Grow, dean of
women at Northwestern University,
is reported to have informed the
young ladies under her direction that
she does not approve the phrases
"Yes, Sill" and "Yes, ma'am," be-
cause they are "old-fashioned.."
With reference to Eyes, ma am"
Mrs. Crows condemnation will be
generally app owed. 1t is merely an
impolitely slipshod rendering Of eyes,

or fashion, old or new. And doubt.

ing Eyes, sir" and Eyes, ma'am" as
old-fashioned."

of those phrases without natural

There was something in the tone
in which genilvman vi the old school
said "Yes, sir,' or Yes, maam,
whose place in social intercourse those
who remember it can hardly believe
will be supplied adequately by any
other forms.
In his utterance OF these words such

sion to weakness, but was made ne
cessary by self-respect in himself, anc

Innate, and last year I planted small
part of the field that produced scab
potatoes five years ago and, with the
treatment, they had scab on when dug,
while the other part of the field was
free from it, which proves that it will
live in the ground five years. The
manure I use is all fresh-made cattle

COVETOUsNEss.

= Follow the word .covetousness" u.s.
ing concordance through the New
Testament. goes in loathsome COM
pany, marshalled by Paul and John
and others between the most foul and
destructive vices. Why is it so ter
rible? Because it is germinal sin, the
seed of all sorts of deadly wrong.
Not only as "the love of money" is it
"the root of all kinds of evil" but in
each of its many forms it sows sinful
ness. This because of its two charac-
teristics-it is selfish and atheistic.
Covetousness is selfish. "Thou
shalt not covet anything that is
thy neighbor's." 1t wants what God
has given to others. It longs and
plans and tries to get 1t. It disre-
CARDS, more or less, the rights Of 9th
ers. The covetous mind, dwelling on
what it wants, gets sophisticated
concience; what it once knew to be
wrong, it comes to look upon as per-
missible, even praiseworthy, and &C.
tions which it condemns in others it
performs itself without tremor. The
character disintegrates.
Covetousness is atheistic. It
comes to regard the getting Of what it
wants as more important than obedi-
ence to Gods laws. II IfCommandment
looks unimportant; if the covetousness
is lustful, the Seventh Commandment
is forgotten; if pleasure is the Supreme
desire, the Fourth Commandment may
be disregarded, and so on. The In
PRODUCTION to the Commandment says,
"God spake all these words" Gov
etousness picks out one or another
commandment and asks, "Yea, hath
God said," this or that?
The Tenth Commandment is not
another, like the nine, added to them
1t is law thrown about them all,
and thrown about the child of God
to hold him, to them all. It requires
such faith in God, in his wisdom, good
ness and power, that the soul would
rather keep his commanments, every
one of them, than to have anything
else in the world. II requires such
love to men that the soul would rath-
er others should have their rights,
and would rather do good to others
than to have anything else in the
world. In short, it requires Us to
have that attitude toward the COM
mandment that Jesus Christ had, II
come to do Thy will, O God"
Covetousness, the opposite and op-
ponent of love to God and man, would
destroy heaven if it could get in there.
God hates it, because 1t destroys His
children, and therde, in this COM
mandment, forbids it.-Nep York

THE MULES GOOD POINTS.

In many respects the mule is the
noblest beast that has been placed un
der mans dominion, but unjust ridi.
cule for some unaccountable reason
marked the long-suffering brute fol
its own and by obscuring his many
virtues and playing upon his few de
fects and idiosyncrasies has compelled
him since the day he was discovered
by Anah in the wilderness to live un
der the torture of false and SANDER
Gus report. At last, however, he is
being restored to his proper position
in the social and economical world.
In truth the mule, if he happens to
he Missouri product, is a valuable
beautiful and lovely beast For gen
eral all around purposes, in compari
s"o with horses. mules are superior
they are easy and cheap to raise, easy
to- sell and hard to blemish. They
go to the market early and bring
bigger profits for the time, work and
money expended in growing than any
other kind of flesh. Diseases rarely
touches them. Adversely and hard
knocks make them stronger and tough
er.
A mule does not wither or weaker
with age. The process of years sim
ply turns his coltish friskiness to con
templative sedateness, his silvery
voice to raucous roar and his cb
steperous heels to the path of peace
His habits as they are better. under
stood are less feared and more appre
ciated. He is tractable, gentle, sym
pathetic, and very intelligent. Wher
we'll treated he loves his master, al
Sancho, the companion of Don Quix
ote, and many old Negroes in the soutf
have proved.
He eats little and requires no shel
ter and tolls to the bitter end without
complaint or fatigue. He quickly
understands the whims of his driver
and will go and can be guided with
out whip or rein. He is dynamo il
hide, an engine in hoof-a perfec
machine in flesh and blood which
rarely gets out of order or temper.

MACHINES THAT THINK.

In factories and offices, increasing
yearly in numbers, are thousand
machines that surpass human fingers
in deftness and even outthnk the hu-
man brain. New ones are constantly
invented.
Thus the new machine for decorat-
ing crockery puts on the china, by a
single action, the border patterns and
monogram centers, which formerly re-
quired whole process of handwork.
The machine is operated by compress
edsair, and has a maximum capacity
of decorating in this manner 120 dozen
pieces of crockery in a single hour:
with the assistance of two boys.
A new speed indicator has been add.
ed to locomotive practice that not on.
ly indicates the varying speed of the
engine, but automatically applies the
brakes when the speed exceeds the es.
tablished safety limit, thus successful
lyereplaclng the "speed feel'' of engi.
To do away with guesswork in office
and shop management, and to find out
the real amount and value of each and
every different kind of work, there is
a machine which makes a permanent
record by card printing not only Of q
single period of time, but also of an
indefinite number OF periods. This
record shows the number of hours and
minutes put on the job, and also the
time of day when the job was started
When the job is done the totals of la
bor costs are entered on the outside
of the envelope containing them, to
gether with a record of the material
used. Each record is entered on the
factory books for permanent reference

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making Its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening snows, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and
aggravated. There is not much poe
try in this, but there is truth and it
is wonder that more people don't get
rid of these ailments. The medicine
that cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla
is easily obtained and there is abun-
dant proof that its cures are radical
and permanent.

peared:l
Reading The Stockmon and Farmer
of October %, 1908, was very much
interested in an article by Alva Agee,
entitled sPotatoes Tor Profit" grow
potatoes on my farm as my principal
money crop and can vouch for every
word he says. This year was my
poorest crop in many years, making
about 1875 bushels per acre. 1t was
owing to a wet season and late plant
ing. My farm contains 40 acres, sit,
uated in Prince Georges county, Mary
land, east of Washington, D. c., and
about ~ miles from the market. The
soil is dark loan, with the tops of
the hills clay, but has no stone, sand
or gravel. My experience in potato
culture agrees with Mr.. Agee's-thor-
ough preparation of the soil and tillage,
a liberal application of manure and
fertilizer, and a good market.

CHARACTERS IN
MOUSTACHE ES.

Women who wish to know tie
character of their men friends should,
if they wear moustaches observe them
closely.
AS the form of the upper, lip and
tue regions about it have largely to
do with the feelings--pride, self-re-
lance, manliness, vanity and other
qualities, or the reverse, says Stray
Stories.
When the moustache is ragged, "A

is lack of selfcontrol. When it is
straight and orderly, the reverse is
the case, and other things, Of course,
taken into account.
If there is tendency to curl at the
outer ends of the moustache, there in
a tendency to ambition, vanity aud
display.
When the curl turns upward there
is geniality, combined with love of ap-
probation. When the inclination is
is downward, there is more sedate
turn of mind not unaccompanied with
gloom.
1t is worthy of remark that good
natured men will, in toying, with the
moustache, invariably give it an up
ward inclination, whereas cross grain.
ed or morose men will pull it obliquely
downward.

PEDESTRIANlSM IN france
Walking Has Become a Fad and CroEs'
Country Runs Are in
Fashion.

With the true Gallo enthusiasm that
characterizes their acceptance of any
fad or craze, the French people have
taken up athletics, particularly the
cr~oss-country run or walk phase of the
strenuous lie, says the Illustrated
Sporting News. This movement, which
has had for its more direct inspiration
the wholesale pedestrianism that has
affected all England during the sum-
mer and autumn of the present year, is
confined to neither class nor mass, but
is the property of the whole people.
What is unquestionably the greatest
of cross-country runs, or, for that mat
ter, of any such contest ever held, was
celebrated at Paris on Sunday, Novem-
Der 8. This affair, called lie Marche
du Petit Matelot," in honor of a Paris
ian firm that provides 10000 francs in
prizes, received 4,34S entries in ad-
vance. OF this number $500 men, the
employees of 100 business houses in the
French capital, started on the 40 kilo-
meter journey, and 1,347 of the contest
ants covered the entire course. The
several prize winners were separated at
the finish of what proved to be, appar-
emily, a four-hour journey by seconds
only.
So great was the interest taken in the
affair that more than 200, 900 spectators
witnessed the start and finish of the
contest, many others lining the roads
traversed by the walkers, so that the
competitors went through living hedges
practically the entire distance. Each
competitor wore a brassard-a sort Of
white sleeveless ~jersey-with his num-
Der on tho breast. Soldiers and gen.
darmes on horseback were called into
use to handle the crowd; while on the
march, once the small army had start
ed, Automobiles and cyclists, depu-
tized as marshals, saw to it that the
prescribed conditions were adhered to,
and that each contestant was unhinder-
ed or unaided in his race.
