Freak Periodical Puz1Ics Readers.

A peculiar periodical named the Bru-
talitarian has appeared in London,
and its readers are puzzled over the
true meaning of it's frankly brutal ut
terances. They are not sure whether
the editor is a wag or q crank, yet the
concluding paragraph of the follow
ing extract from its pages would seem
to indicate that the Brutalitarian is
animated by the spirit of irony:
1T is full time, in this age of deca-
dent humanitarianism, that some
trumpet tongued protest were raised
against the prevalent sentimentality,
and that there should be an attempt
to organize and consolidate the forces
" " that make for manliness and
patriotism.
IF we are fools enough to allow the
use Of the lash to die out, good-by to
all the sterling traits Of an English
mans character!
what could be more pitiful than the
plea put forward by the naval lords,
for instance, that boys in the Royal
Navy are not logged but 'birched,'
in spite Of the fact that every public
school man in the country knows that
the terms are identical?
"The~ Brutalltarian will at least
make it impossible for our friends to
repeat these errors, for it will frankly,
fully and consistently uphold fogging
(under that nance, whether with birch
or cane or cat or any other instru-
ment, as the mainstay of British edu-
cation.
"War and sport, flesh eating and WV
isectiOn are all kindred practices
which must stand or fall together

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Many consider a poor excuse better
than none.
Great blessings r often held wait
ing for some small obedience.
The bible, in its wonderful and va
ried imagery, is the reflection Of all hui
man experiences. S. David.
He who waits for God is not mis-
spending his time. Such waiting is
true living-such tarrying is the truest
speed-JoSeph Parker.
That action is not warrantable which
either fears to ask the divine blessing
on its performance, or, having succeed
ed, does not come with thanksgiving to
God for it's success.-Quarles.
Say all that you have to say in the
fewest possible words, or your reader
will be sure to skip them; and in the
plainest possible words, or he will Ger.
tainly misunderstood them.-Ruskin.
Quick is the succession of human
events. The cares of to-day are sell
dom the cares of tomorrow, and when
we lie down at night we may safely
say to most of our troubles: "Ye have
done your worst. and we shall meet no
more."-Cowper. -

Livestock and Prosperity.

The North Corolina Board Of Agri-
culture bulletin has the following on
Livestock in It's Relation to the Pros
perity of Rockingham County," by A.
L. French. The Generalization in the
price of cotton should cause many
farmers to turn to livestock as q factor
in prosperity, and we, therefore, pub
lish Mr.. French's suggestive remarks:
I have been asked to talk upon the
subject of "Cattle," put if you will par
don me 1 would like to talk along the
line of general livestock in it's relation
to the prosperity of Rockingham Coun-
ty. AS 1 was coming over this morn
ing, I made a little mental calculation
and found that u county, with just
average farming, could maintain some
10000 head of cattle, with an annual
net income of, say, $40 each; an equal
number Of sheep, capable Of producing
a net income of 81 each; 10000 hogs,
bringing a net profit of $3 each; 1000
mule and horse colts at an annual
profit Of $40 each, and this without re-
ducing your tobacco acreage by one
hill. Now, this livestock would mean
an annual profit OF more than half a
million dollars to our farmers, and
what would, it not, mean to- our farm
ers? By careful handling this live
stock would manufacture free Of cost
mere than a million loads of stable
manure per year,, which, applied at
the rate of ten loads per acre, would
cover about one-feurth of the agricul-
tural lands Of the county, and in the
place of barren hills, gauls and brush
fields We would have green fields of
grass. corn. rnas and clover that wonld

JAPANrs "HuMAN HORSES"
The Power and Endurance Of the Famed
Rickshawmen.

Rickshawmen.
The feats Of which the japanese
ricksha wmen are capable are almost
incredible. I remember some years
ago of being driven ashore in a yacht
in the Inland Sea during a typhoOn.
1t was far beyond the treaty limits
which then existed, and foreigners
were not allowed to travel outside
those limits without special passports.
But the Mayor Of the nearest fishing
village was kindness itself. He prom
Used to supply the best rickshawmen
which the neighborhood could produce,
so as to take us to a railway station
some forty miles away. And he kept
his word, for the distance vas covered
in less than six hours, including a halt
for refreshments. Each rickshaw was
drawn by two men, tandem wise, the
usual fashion when long distances have
to be covered. The leaders in each
went through the whole distance, while
the wheelers, so 20 speak. were changed
half way. The road was over the
greater part of the distance little better
than a mountain track, and it was rain
ing most Of the time, but there was
lever a break in u progress except
to allow the coolies to take off Oh put
on their clothes. They prefer running
in nothing but a loincloth, and do so
whenever they get safely beyond the
eye Of the police, who have orders
strictly to administer the law against
nudity.
The fare paid for this prolonged
journey was, if I remember rightly,
about three shillings for each rickshaw,
the extra shilling being a gratuity
thrown in for good service. I know
that it purchased so many blessings
on my honorable head as cannot yet be
quite exhausted. And having made
our farewells at the railway station,
the coolies started back at once for
their own village.-London Mail.

Adds to

. Nothing can add mere to the prosper
ity of the State, nothing can serve to
lift farm values so materially, nothing
can bring summer tourists and resi-
dents to settle and beautify and enrich
our valleys SO much as permanent road
building.
I would not only urge the continu-
ance Of the present State tax, but I
would advise an increase of the same,
and wen more liberal treatment.
And in this connection, and as a cor
ollary, I.would recommend that the
State begin, system of elimination Of
grade crossings of both steam and
electric roads and the highways.
The laws of Massachusetts, and New
York furnish desirable methods. Pro-

The truth is that no matter to what
proportions the good roads movement
may grow the close of this century Will
still find a great mileage of highway
supporting vehicular traffic without a
road carpet. 1t is therefore plain that
the road engineer should not only be
skilled in designing a variety Of roa
coverings, but he should be and is fast
becoming a past master In the art OF
lettering ~disagreeable and dangerous

Clerical Slips.

A Scotch minister who was in need
Of funds thus conveyed his intentions
to his congregation: "Weel, friends, the
kirk is urgently in need of siller, and
as we have failed to get money honest
ly, we will have to see what a bazaar
can do for u.s." :
1t happened in Cornwall, according to
report, that a pastor complained that
his congregation had the habit of look
ing round at late corners, and, while he
thought it natural enough, he saw that
it disturbed their religious duties, and
so determined to announce by name
those persons who came in. late. Ac-
cordingly he several times paused dur
ing the prayer and said: Mr.. S., WITH
his wife and daughter" then again,
Mr.. G. and W. D." This went on for
a while and the congregation kept their
eyes fixed on their books, but when it
was given out Mrs. B. in a new bon
net" every feminine head in the
church was turned.
1t was a curate who read in the les
son for the day:
HE spoke the word, andcathoppers
came and grassipillars innumerable."-

I believe that the gigantic task or
bringing the highways of this. country
to the highest standard possible is a
reform advocated in the interest, the
direct personal interest of every man,
woman and child in these United
States, and that it constitutes a reform
from existing conditions as unsef6sh
and as patriotic as any movement un-
dervaken in the last quarter Of a CEN
fury. Its full accomplishment through
out the length end the breadth Of this
Nation would add UNNECESSARILY to the
National wealth and promote the gen.
eral development more than any other
one thing yet lacking in the Nations
equipment for the final struggle for
world wide supremacy in the CONNER
cial wars among the nations. That
there is such n struggle coming on no
one can doubt who gives intelligent
study to the trend Of the modern COM
meccial condition and circumstances.
