Maiden Names in other Lands.

From the London Chronicle.
When woman is married In this country
her maiden name is seldom mentioned.
Many people to whom she is very well
known have never heard 1t. In France, on
the contrary. there are constant reminders
of the earlier dignity. In Belgium mar
rage does not extinguish it, for many mar
ried women often combine the old name
with the new, Moreover they put the
maiden name last, thus giving it the great
err distinction. We can illustrate this by
supposing the custom TO prevail in this
country. In that case Miss Brown, when
She, married Mr.. Robinson. would have her
visiting cards printed: Mrs. Robinson
Brown" This double barreied arrange
ment does not give the Belgian wife q bet

BY vote of 6S to 81 the house
of representative voted Tuesday
to repeal the half mill tax on
counties voting out the dlspen
sary. Representative Foster
spoke against the tax, and The
State says put in "some telling
blows on the dispensary polite
and corporate" He urged that
the special tax was un-Democratic
and outrageous in his opinian. 1t
was a lawless outrage to deny a
people the right to do as they
pleased and then be taxed. 1t is
political scheme hatched out by
the dispensary. The question is
one of right, and it was not a
question of blind tigers or exped-
iency. If the people decide an
issue it ought to be final. If
this tax keeps up he would organ
lie his county to vote out the dis
pensary, with or without the tax.

ting rid of them. He diI not want

Mr.. Foster continued that they

who would do more to keep
down violation of the law than all
the dispensary constables.
Mr.. Richards of Kershaw spoke
against abollshing the tax and is
said to have made the best speech
on that side.

Sheriff John Z. Hunter, who

Cleveland during his last term of
office, was asked if he would al
low his name to be used for the

He replied no, under no circum>

had never done anything for the

the said party was In nowise un-

Should be Exempted.

In Lancaster we notice the an
nouncement in one of the papers.
that the building and loan associa-
tion of that place has decided to
disband, and the stock is being
liquidated on account of the heavy
burden of Taxation. In Camden,
the building and loan ssoclation,
which has been such a God send
to so many in buying homes, is
groaning under the needless and
unjust burden of taxation. The
taxes paid by one of the associa-
tions have amounted to more than
al the other expenses of the As
sociation, including the salaries of
the President, Secretary and
Treasurer, and good deal of it's
stock is being liquidated If our
law makers could only reflect up
on what material advantages are
to accrue to the State by exempt
ing these associations, which 10
the past have done SO much in
building up the community where
they have been located, and in>
creasing the taxable values, they
would accomplish some good for
their constituents, certainly much
more than is to be accomplished
by introducing bills to prevent
dog fights and the like, which was
done 10 the legislature last week.

american Cheese Production.

Twenty years ago the cheese supply
of Great Britain was largely furnished
by the United States, but to-day Can
ada has taken the lead and far out
stripped us as an exporter of this COM
modify. In 1880 the United States
sent 131, 20S,776 pounds of cheese to
Great Britain, while in 1904 only
20, 10000 pounds were shipped to that
country. Canada, on the other hand,
exported over 31,000,OO0 pounds TWEEN
ly-nve years ago as against 212, 1862, 800
pounds last year. This loss of trade,
however, has not been injurious, but
on the other hand, is caused through
an excess of consumption at home over
production, while reverse conditions
prevail with our Canadian neighbor
Canada was thus forced to seek the
British markets for her plethora and
to fill up the place left vacant in that
market by the withdrawal of the Unit
ed States therefrom.
While the United States. in
1900, manufactured nearly S2,O0O,O 900
pounds of cheese, the per capita fac
tory production was only 81 pounds,
whereas, on the other hand in 1901,
Canada produced 224,OOO,OOO pounds,
furnishing nearly 41.S pounds for each |
It is therefore shown, by |
a report from Consul General Hollo- |
way, of Halifax, that the Canadian
export trade to which every one of
our neighbors points with pride was
not gained at the expense of the Unit
ed States, for they must export their =
cheese or get "snowed under" The
United States can not keep up in pro-
auction with our increasing home con-

THE WOODMAN'S STRIDE.
With a Long Swinging Step, He
Covers Much Ground and Pre-.
serves a Perfect Balance.

SSTVeS a ferIect Balance.
A woodman walks with a rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more to the stepping side, and his pace
Is CORRESPONDENCE long. His hip &C.
ton may be noticed to an exaggerated
degree in the stride of professional
pedestrian, but the latter walks with a
heel-and-toe step, whereas an Indians
or sailors step is more nearly f1atfooted.
In the latter case the center of gravity
Is covered by the whole foot. The poise
Is as secure as that of a rope walker.
The toes are pointed straight forward,
or even trife inward, so that the in
side of the heel, the outside of the ball
Of the foot, and the smaller toes all do
their share of work and assist in bal
ancing. Walking in the woods in this
one is not so likely to trip over
roots, stones and other traps
as he would be if the feet formed
hooks by pointing outward. The adj
vantage Is obvious in snowshoeing. If
the Indian were turned to stone while
In the act Of stepping, the statue would
probably stand balanced on one foot.
His gait gives the limbs great control
over his movements. He is always
poised. If stick cracks under him it |
Is because Of his weight, and not by
reason Of the impact. He goes silently
IN, and with great economy Of force.
His steady balance enables him to put
his foot down as gently as you would
ay an egg on the table.

CARRY A BIG STICK.
Cane Preferred to Revolver BY
Detectives.

"President Roosevelt's epigram-
Speak softly and carry a big stick,
has been quoted all over the world,
said an expert fencing master, who
has taught sword practice in a dozen
Of the worlds capitals. "And it is
good advice literally as we'll as figu-
ratively. Do not provoke quarrels;
avoid them If you can. But be pre-.
pared for a tight corner. Many night
policemen and detectives carry stout
canes in preference to revolvers. The
stick is always ready in all wea-
theirs. The revolver must be- car
ried in the pocket and only an expert
can flash it on the instant. When
you are in situation where your stick
is needed do not figure on using it as
club. An agile man can dodge the
sweep Of stick, and knife you before
you recover your guard. Carry the
stick with the tip somewhat in ad-
vance, grasping it firmly six inches
or more below the knob or handle.
If you are confronted by an adver-
sary give him sudden, hard thrust
with the small end. The stomach is
a most vulnerable point, and If YOU |
catch him fairly the chances are ten
to one that he will double up like a
jack-knife. Before he recoversI Won
can withdraw the stick and hand him
one on the head or the back of the
neck that will put him out of business

ing the War for Independence the adj
vertising of this commodity appar-
emily ceased, although it is hardly be-
lieved that there was not time but
what one could purchase seeds in any
Of the large cities Of that period.
A Pioneer Scotsman.
In 1884, David Landreth commenced
operations in Philadelphia; Bernard
M'Mahon, in that same city in 1900,
while in 1905, Grant Thorburn began
to sell seeds in New York. BY 1880
the population had increased from
about three million in 1890, to ten
and a half millions. To meet the
growing demand for vegetables and
flowers, these ten and half millions
required more than three and a half
times as many seeds as were used in
1890. Dealers established themselves
in the principal cities and crossed the
mountains.
Along with the reaching out for
trade came the increasing size and
prominence of the catalogue. The ear
Hest seed catalogues were mere lists
not intended for general distribution.
Thorburn probably issued the first
seed catalogue as early as 1904.
shortly after the civil war the cata.
logue became more prominent. Its
size was increased and few illustra-
tons appeared. Novelties were not as
numerous twenty years ago as thew
are today; they were not given SO |
much attention either. Today there is |
not an important catalogue but gives
considerable space to novelties. |
Seedsmen are on the alert for novel
Iles; they are the money makers. The

rel Of peas first sold in Newport has
grown to hundreds Of bags, and the
few thousand packets to millions. The
modern seed house has every mechani-
cal contrivance to aid in making the
business economical and systematic.
From the cellar to the mailing room
everything is so arranged that orders
may. be filled with accuracy and dis
patch. During the late summer and
early fall catalogues are prepared for
mailing, and seeds packed in READINGS
for distribution. While one hundred
letters a day was considered a large
business thirty years ago, some houses
now receive over six thousand daily
during the busy season.
OF course to supply this enormous
trade much attention must be paid to
the growing of the seed. The present
development Of garden-seed growing
began when David Landreth estab.
lished a small seed farm at Philadel-
ph1a in 1854. During the Civil War

this country largely depended upon
foreign markets for seeds, but between
1860 and 1870 as many seed farms
were established as had been during
the thirty years before the conflict.
Growers also became expert and the
market gardener found he could get
from the seedmen just as good seed
as he could save himself and at less
cost. The business of seed-raising in
creased rapidly after the war, farms
being established in various parts of
the eastern United States. In 1875
seed growing commenced in Califor-
MIA, when r. w. Wilson planted 80
acres to beets, onions, lettuce and car
rots for seed purposes.
Two Thousand Acre Seed Farm.
From this beginning the business has
grown to enormous proportions. Now
a single firm Of growers devotes annu-
ally some 1000 acres to seed crops,
Onion and lettuce are staple seed
crops, while carrot, celery, leek, en-
dive, kale, kohl-rabi, yarsnips and
parsley are all grown by California
seed growers.
While the census Of 1890 showed
that there were in the United States
596 seed farms, containing 169,5SO
acres, the census Of 1900, with incom.
plete returns, showed more than $500
seed farms. The Census Office made
an effort to collect statistics of seed |
growing farms, but owing to the re-
fusal of number of the large firms
handling seed to fu hish the names of
the farmers .growh.s seed for them,
the information secured was very in.
Not small part Of seed-growing is
1evoted to the raising Of flower seed.

water and a warm place in the
kitchen. A stitch in time often saves
nine, and little trouble a month be-
fore planting time may make the
farmer or the gardener considerable
money and conduce greatly to his hap
piness and good temper. Nothing is
certainly more aggravating than to
pillow, fine the ground well, plant, and
then, as the golden moments of spring
slip by, wait in vain for the young
plants to appear, or secure only a half
