THE FARMERS AND THE AGRl-
CULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

II is said that very few Virginia
farmers have any idea of the real. di-
re.t advantage the United States
Department OF Agriculture may be-
10 them. This is doubtless true. and
accounts in part for the failure oi
onr farmers to take advantage OF
the opportunities afforded by tins
department of our national govern
ment. 1t is also partly due to the
fact that farmers have SO long been
accustomed to depend entirely upon
their own experience, and have gone
along i'm the old routine with such
persistence. that they believe Their
own plans and methods are better
than what some OF them are pleased
TO term the theoretical farming oi
educated agriculturiSts. When once
they can be disabuSed OF this idea,
and can be- brought to a knowledge
of the benefits to be derived by Keep

agricultural knowledge. new era IN

farmers can get all the latest and

for the asking and the cost OF a one

culture has developed into a science

showing indeed when compared with
the man who takes advantage OF his
opportunities and keeps abreast OF
the times. Every farmer in Virginia
should have one OF the latest year
books. as it abounds in valuable III
formation on practical subjects, and
it will be theirs for the asking. The
government is supporting its Agri-
cultural Department at heavy cost
for the benefit OF the farmer, and if
he fails to avail himself OF the advan-
tages thus offered him. it is his OWN
fault.

RELIGION ANDPCBLICS SCHOOLS.

RELIGION ANDPUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The attitude assumed by the Bap-
tist Ministers Conference in refer
ence 70 religious instruction in the
public schools of the District OF Co
lumbia should meet with the hearty
commentator of all who have given
thought to the matter. Our public
schools were never intended as an in
stitution for the advancement OF re-
ligiOus learning The home and the
Sunday school afford the most APP
propriate places for religious train
inc. To undertake it in the public
schools would promote friction and
dissensiOn. resulting in direct and
positive injury TO cause which
should be promoted with the least
possible friction between sects and
creeds. 1t has been one OF the funda-
mental principles Of our government
that the church and the State be kept
separate and distinct The public
schools are intended to fit the pupils
for citizenship and incidentally to in
culcate in him good morals, which
are essential TO good citizenship, but
it is not the function OF the State to
teach religion. and whenever and
wherever it is undertaken the result
must of necessity be conflict OF Opin-
ion, strife and direct injury TO the
cause which is sought to beprOmOted.
In view OF the harmony which has
always obtained between church and
State, due to this very fact that they
have been kept distinct, and that
freedom of religion has been guaran-
teed to every dweller in the land, it
is strange that this question should
ever have been seriously agitated.

Popular Cartoons.

recent years. Newspaper cartoons
have become most popular feature
of up-to-date metropolitan daily
papers. The unique and catchy draw

page Of The Chicago Record Herald
is one of the many special features of
the great paper. The Record Herald
has been fortunate in securing one of
the best young artists in the country
to carry out its policy of presenting
each day humorous and good -natured
cartoon. Mr.. Ralph Wilder is one of
the coming men jim newspaper work.
His success has been as pronounced as
it has been rapid. He shows all of the
good-natured humor and the brighter
side of everyday common life which
has carried his work to a very popu-
lar success. His drawings are on all

The reign of Napoleon III. was al
most brought to premature termina-
ton some four or five years prior to
the Franco-Prussian war by an indig-
nant COW, and the monarch owed his
preservation on that occasion to the
courage and presence Of mind of his
Spanish consort. The incident took
place In the neighborhood of Biarritz,
where the emperor and empress were
walking one day with their dog Nero,
an animal which figures beside the
prince imperial in Carpeaux's famous
statue of the latter. Nero began bark
ing, dogl1ke, at some cattle that were
grazing In a field. A COW took excep-
t1on to this, and as Nero sought refuge
between the remarkably short legs of
tne emperor she proceeded to charge
down upon the monarch with all that
vim and vigor for which the cattle
along the Spanish frontier are famous.
On came the COW, and the emperor was
hesitating whether to run or to stand
his ground when the empress threw
nerself before him and kept the animal
at bay with long bamboo cane, which
che was in the habit Of carrying in
lose days, until the herdsmen came ia
tie rescue. The empress is described
by an eyewitness as having handled
her cane with all the dexterity and "a.
pidity of movement Of a toreador of
her own native land.-New York Trtb-

LIGHT KILLS THEM.
oaeer Fish and Insects That Live In
Perpetual Darkness.

oaeer Fish and Insects That Live In
Perpetual Darkness.
The cavern beetle was first discover
I'd some seventy years ago in an. Aus
srian cave, the grotto Of Adelsberg.
One specimen only was caught, and.
though it's discoverer offered a prize Of
f5 for another, it was fourteen years
before q second was found.
The cavern beetle has little round
body, very long legs and absolutely no
eyes, at all. Brought out from its
gloomy haunts into the light Of the
sun, it dies almost Immediately. Yet
in it's pitch dark home far beneath the
surface Of the earth it moves with as
great rapidly and certainty as any of
its eyed relatives Oh the upper soil.
To make up for its lack of sight it is
provided with antennae Of extraordi-
nary length and delicacy. By means
of these it feels it's way over the rough
surface of the stone and hunts its
prey-other smaller blind ihsects-with
great rapidity and absolute certainty.
The cavern beetle has it's enemies.
The blothrus "a species Of scorpion)
and the great eyeless spider hunt it
remorselessly. Prince Khevenhuller,
who thoroughly explored these caves
some years ago, describes it as a most
extraordinary sight to watch by the
light of candle scorpion, absolutely
eyeless, hunting beetle, equally blind,
along the cavern wall. Although the
beetle was several feet in front of the
scorpion and divided from it by ifs
sure in the rock, yet the scorpion track
ed it with absolute and almost appall.
ing certainty.
The spider found in these caves is of
lovely ivory white and is able, like
other insects which inhabit the same
subterranean depths, to run away rap
idly and find it's way with as positive
certainty as if it had eyes and light
to use them. Like several Of the 9th
ers, it, too, perishes If taken out of the
cave. Sunlight seems to wither and
shrivel up these insects, just as though
they had been placed in front of hot
fire.
Yet in spite Of this fact, it is known
that the blind cave creatures are de-
scended from others which originally
lived in the light of day.
An ordinary proof of this is that,
though no faintest ray marks the diff
ference between day and darkness in
the depths they live in, yet it has been
.ascertained beyond the shadow of a
doubt that those whose ancestors were
nocturnal in their habits still prefer to
move about during those hours when
the surface Of the earth is in darkness.
Numbers Of different kinds of fish
are known to live in the gloomy rivers
and lakes which exist in all large
caves.-London Tit Bits.
