A Little Tobacco Talk.

Coming events cast their shadows
before" is an old saying that has
long been recognized as carrying
considerable force in the business
world. Those who read the signs
Alright are already predicting that
if the 1905 tobacco crop gives the
expected promise there will be
livelier times during the buying
season than was ever before wit
messed in this state, in which buy
ing in the field will form a promin
emit part. Under any event the
coming crop may not equal in size
that OF some other years or produce
any excess of suitable leaf for
binder needs of the market The
incentive therefore to be early in
the field will be strong one which
many of the large operators can
scarcely resist, and the old scene of
buying green tobacco will probably
be re-enacted. Already some of the
largest firms have commenced to
organize for the coming campaign.
Buyers in the different sections are
being engaged for the season, to
commence July LIST, soon after the
crop is planted. They are expected
from that time on to keep lab on
the growing crop, record of the
most prominent fields, and be pre-
pared to start the ball rolling when
the order is given to commence
buying operations. Such careful
plans laid so far in advance is a
pretty sure indication there will be
something doing" very early in
the tobacco fields. The grower who
is able to produce a good crop of
tobacco in 1905 may be considered
fortunate farmer.

Thomas w. Lawson tells of friend
who had taken a trip to the Maine
woods for days hunting. The hunt
er's time geing limited, he wished to
crowd as many hours into a day as
possible, so he ordered the host at the

SCHOOL FADs DOOMED

Huron Hutonite; The fads which
have crept into the public schools of
the country are going to be knocked
out. Huron schools have never been
extremely fad ridden, but some fadS
have crept IN and these will go. The
Huronite learns from good authority
that the indications point to a good
adoption of a method which will give
the individual pupil a chance to go
ahead ii it is in him. Twelve years
are required to graduate from the
Huron schools-the dullest scholar
and the brightest are placed along
together making a course which can
be done by any boy OF average intel
ligence in ten years, without extra
effort. The 10y or girls who starts
in the public schools at 6 is is be-
fore he graduates, then ii year at
least must be taken for college prep
aration if a college education is de-
sired, making the age 10 and With
four years at college the age of %
years is arrived at before the pupil is
graduated. Then comes either the
study of some profession or the prep
aration for some business career and
the college graduate is 30 years old
before he gets a start with the bread
and butter brigade. Every fad ought
to be cut out, and a plan adopted so
that the boy or girl who wants to
forge ahead in the public schools can
do so. In no other place is indi,id-
ual effort discouraged.
Give each pupil a chance to stand
on his own legs and not be bound to-
gether in the lock-step like prisoners.

A Tailor. Proclamation.

The art Of advertising has reached a
high pitch of excellence in these days,
but old newspapers and circulars fur
nish some fetching examples which it
would be difficult to improve upon.
Fifty years ago a Maidstone England
tailor made this %alluring appeal to the
public:
"Neoteric cutting. Coats. trousers
and vests. in alamodal style and ma
terial. are scientifically constructed
and symmetrically adjusted to the an
thropological tiexibilities, for a thau-
matursically minute, prompt, none

The action of the New York cit

The action of the New York city
school board in banishing the fads
from the school room will have the
effect of spreading all over the
country. there are many things
taught in the schools today that takes
the attention away from the stud
les THAT a boy or girl will find abso-
lutely necessary when he gets out
to brush up with the world. The
absence of good spoilers was recently
shown in examination papers examined
at Pierre where teachers fell down
on the simplest of words. Getting
back to the old methods to some ex-
tent will give the boys and girls an
opportunity to develop along the
lines that TO-DAY are deficient. 1t is
true, no doubt, that much cause for
dissatisfaction arises in II parent OBJ
iectiL.g to what his child shall study.
lndividualiSm. however. is not to
be considered in a public school but
what will be for the benefit OF the
averge boy and girl as a whole. There
are some children who do not care a
rap for spelling, some have object
ions to developing their intellect on
arithmetic, some on one thing and
some on another. Simply because on
or two object to studying reading or
arithmetic is no valid reason for put
ting the studies out OF the schools.

and literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
In the literature of all ages. In Egypt
1t represented Horus. the young or ris-
ing sun. in a boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as a cow. 1t has also beer
found s%culptured on the walls of
Thebes 5000 years age. And on the
men of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as 1t does on us today,
a striking example of the unchange-
ableness of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindoos
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always a stormy
character. illusions to its direful infu-
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing of Orion. The group has also been
employed as a calendar sign, it's morn
Ing rising indicating the beginning Of
summer. its midnight rising the season
Of grape gathering and its early even
Ing rising the arrival of winter, with
Its attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a
great hunter or warrior. It's present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signifed
the light of heaven.

Fig Sunday.

Palm Sunday is known in England
as Fig Sunday because in many dis
tricts figs are freely eaten on that day.
The custom is common in the villages
of Bedford, Bucks. Hartford and
Northampton and is found in some
parts of north Wales. AS Palm Sunday
approaches the shop windows of Dun
stable are filled with figs in readiness
for the crowds who go to the top Of
Dunstable downs to regale themselves
on that day. AT kempton, in HEREFORD
shire, to keep warsel' is to feast on
figs or fig buildings With your friends
on Palm Sunday. Fig Sunday is proba-
bly, connected with the story of the
barren fig tree, which forms part Of
one of the lessons for the day.-London

Crucifixion Friday Night.

Stainer's ''Crucifxion'' relates the
story Of the sacred passion of our
Holy Redeemer. The effective music
brings out with striking force the
events surrounding the death of Our
Lord and impresses them on the
minds Of every auditor.
The story begins at the Garden of
Gethsemane where Jesus and the
disciples went to pray. 1t follows
Him through the trials with PLATE
and the High Priest bringing Him tc
Calvary and His relations with the
dying thieves.
s%trikingly impressive music de-
picts the darkness which covered
the earth and finally the end is an

, aberdeen ministers have taken a
peculiar stand on the question of held
ing funerals on Sunday. At a re.
cent meeting Of the ministerial as
ISOLATION Of that town a resolution
was adopted setting forth the fact
that in the future Sunday funerals
were to be banished from their work.
The ministers claim that sunday is a
very busy day with them in their
pastoral work, having from three to
five meetings to attend each Sunday,
and that it is something of an i'm
position to ask them to oticiate at a
funeral on that day. This seems a
very queer action indeed on the part
OF the ministers. 1t is true, doubt
less, that the work is buldensome at
times, but when ceath appears in a
community it would seem that the
sympathy of a minister particularly If
the deceased be a member Of his
W congregation, would be tie first
to find its way into a home, and we
think it would be rather brutal to
inform the relatives Of the deceased
that their dead must wait until
some other day than Sunday to be
buried. According to the stand Of
the Aberdeen minister's people who
die there must manage to pass
away so that there is no possibility
of the funeral being held on Sunday.
Poor, tired, overworked ministers
of Aberdeen. They are making haste
too fast.
