EVILS OFTHE pRImARY SYSTEM

A great many Virginians are al
ready tired of the heated primary
campaign now going in the State. 1t
would be infinitely better for the peo-
Pile to be permitted to decidewho shall
fill the high and important, places
than for candidates to spend months
in primary contest and seram BILE
for nominations "contest" devoted
to emphasizing their fitness and i'm
agined merits. The people ought
to be allowed to select men to Gil the
offices, without being harangued, in
fuenced and even confused by the
claims and counter claims of men
who want to fill the offices. The can
didates now askingfor the peoples
support are high-toned gentlemtn n
aud we doubt not that either of them
would fill the office to which they
aspire with credit and ability. But
their records and qualifications are
pretty well known to the masses, and
the masses are capable of selecting q
candidate without being nagged to
death. The fact is, it is immodest
for man to go so far in the way of
emphasizing and reitersting his own
Importance and "bigness."-Colonia

HATS OFF IN CHURCH.

During recent revival of religion
in Epworth church, Norfolk, the
women started the fashion of sitting
with hats off during the service. The
Portsmouth Star says that the limo.
vation is so becoming to them and is
such an appropriate recognition of
the feelings and rights of the people
that the women intend to continue
the custom. Consideration for the
feelings of others is mighty good
religion and while we say il with fear
and trembling, we do say that women
more than men, stand in need of that
sort of religion. That is especially
true of the women of the South.
Southern men treat their women with
so much Difference and consideration
that naturally the women have be-
come more or less selfish and are not
always as considerate as they should
be of the rights of men. We hope
this religious reform which has be-
gun in the Norfolk church will
sweep over the entire State of Vir-
ginia. We hope so because that sort
of consideration will remove one of
the few blemishes in our women,
and make them so much more attrac-
tive.-Rlchmond Times Dispatch.

OLD oYsTERs-oLD PEoPLE

Mr.. o. Q. Glaser of the department
of biology at Johns-Hopkins Uni
Sersity has issued report of his OBJ
servations and experiments on the
growth of oysters. The variety in
shape is a striking characteristic of
the American oyster. Oysters of
normal shape are found lying side by
side with those of irregular and some
times grotesque form, aud sometimes
narrow shells of extreme length are
found in clusters. To the latter
MIR. Glaser devoted the greater part
of his attention. Oysters, of this
elongated variety, he says, are i'm
portant agents in the formation of
reefs, marshes and islands.
Mr.. Glaser concludes that this
elongation is due to crowding,
The crowded condition of these per-
maturely old oysters makes it i'm
possible for them to expand and
grow to the normal width, but if re-
moved to a more favorable situation
they quickly assume the ordinary
shape. The natural tendency OF
oysters is to grow upward, and this
accounts for the fact that they be-
come crowded. IF there is no crowd
ing, individual oysters assume q
vertical position, with the large end
sticking down in the river or bay
bottom. This is characteristic of the
uncrowded oyster beds of the Chesa-
peake. But this erect position in the
course of time causes the individuals
to be very much crowded together,
and they, therefore, become long and
thin, instead of oval or disk-shaped.
Prof. William K. Brooks holds that
the crowding brings about the up
ward growth and not the upward
growth the crowding. Mr.. Glasei
found a curious resemblance between
old oysters aud old people. Both
are unable to adapt themselves to 8
sudden and violent change of envi.
ronment, and the mortality among
them is much greater than among
younger ones. This has a very de.
cided economic value. Oystermer
have found by long experience thai
oysters can be transplanted with
profit. At present millions of young
spat settle on the edges of reefs and
marshes, and there assume elongated
forms which render them unfit for
market use. Mr.. CHASER has demon
strated conclusively that these young
oysters, when separated from the un.
toward conditions ON the reefs and
marshes, are able to recover and re.
gain the normal shape. Oyster,
over two inches in length, he says
may not be profitably transplanted

Wilmington, and there Flanagan
went ont to get some coffee for her,
while his wife opened the lunch.
"She, good kind soul, asked several
ladies sitting near to help her eat the
oysters, and in truth she needed help
to eat them. When Flanagan came
back with the coffee, there was a
coach load of about as angry women

. THE RESURRECTION AND THE
LIFE"

(By a William and Mary Student)
Among Judea's hills and silent groves,
With mockery shouts and mingled cries
OF scorn;
Where Calvary's summit reaches to
the sky,
Like angry seas the great procession
moves;
Aud in It's midst the Blessed Christ Is
borne;
On Calvary's summit, lie is doomed to die
They lay him down upon the crossed
tree,
With cruel nails they nail his hands and
feet,
And near the cross, He gives a long
drawn sigh,
"Oh Fatherl Why hast thou forsaken mt
I've slipped the gall to me it tasted sweet
For in Thy cause / knew that should
die
The msddening rabble's scornful cries
and jeers,
The crimson streaks slow ebbing o'er his
brt asst;
His blessed hands and feet are
pierced through,
He little heeds, His dropping head he
rears,
On which the pricking wreath OF
thoIns hes pressed,
"Father forgive. they know not what
they d."
Now darkness clothes with darkened
robes the sky,
Aud o'er Judea's valleys silent steal,
Aud DER the surgiug waves of Galilee;
His ey elids droop. His last de- pairing cry
Is drowned in the dtafening thunder 5
peals,
The spirit of the Christ at las, is free
Three days have passed; the thuuder's
desftnipg rear
Strikes To the earth the one who guards
His grave;
The vault is opened and the Chris,
therein
Stands in the flesh as he had stood befC re
The Crucifixion, when His life he gave
For mans Redemption and all mankind's s
Sin.
This is the Illustration of the Love
That rests within the Great Jehovsh's
breast,
For US, vain lovers Of inglorious strife
Look up TO Him who reigns i'm Heaven
above,
And on his bosom find thy needed rest;
He is the Resurrection and the Life"

THE HUMBLE HEN.

A well-informed man says that the
chickens and eggs sold by the farm
ers in his county brought more
money into the county than wheat,
corn and oats, the staple products
all combined. The census figures
are interesting:
In 1900, when the latest complete
census was taken, the total value of
all fowls on farms was $S5, ,794, ,996.
These produced. in one year, poultry
that sold for $136,S91. sly, and eggs
that sold for $144,2S6,37 total
of $2S1, ,17S,247. The investment
yielded an income of 400 per cent.
The average yield of the hen is l2C
eggs year. The high yield of 25l
eggs year has been recorded. The
cackle of the hen means more than
the bleating of sheep or the lowing
of oxen in America. .

THE wOMANLY WAY.

A French paper recently printed
an interview with Queen Alexandra
of England, in which she said:
"Your talk, as men, is of war, but
We women speak always Of peace
peace in every nation, peace between
all nations.
81 was educated in the school of a
king who was, before all things, just,
and L have tried, like him, always to
preach love and charity. have al
ways mistrusted warlike preparations,
of which nations seem never to tire.
Some day this accumulated material
of soldiers and guns will burst into
flames in frightful war that viii
throw humanity into mourning on
earth and grieve our universal Father
in heaven"
Women may be lacking in judg-
ment, but in many cases they have
that which is better-intuition. 1t
will be we'll for the Powers of the
earth to take note of this impressive
deiiverance. 1t has the ring of
