HOME is THE BEST PLACE
AFTER ALL.

Glad to see you back" said the
neighbor as you entered the front
yard and told the eXpIessman wher"
to dump your trunk. And from the
house across the way, and the one
next door, and all about you came
that grateful salutation, Glad to see
you home again"
A vacation is a mighty fine thing
for score of reasons. 1t makes the
average family more than ever con-
tent with home. The old house
needs a coat of paint, weeds have
grown up along the front walk and
the grass in the front yard needs
cutting. "Mother' slipped key in
the front door lock and let II flood of
sunshine into the place. She can
hardly wait to dust things.
Sister sits down to the piano and
fills the house with music, and
though you have travelled far and
wide, and, mayhap, heard famous
performers and great OrchestraS,
there is a something about the sur
rOundings that makes this seem
best of all.
There is the easy chair. 1t has
been waiting for weeks for II tired
man, and on the table are heaped
books and magazines, full from
cover to cover with interest and
mental recreation.
Outside the children are chatter
ing with the neighborhood colony,
telling of the wonders they have
seen in the north and the weeks of
fun that have been theirs. There
has been enough material gathered
in these play days to enliven many
long evenings this winter.
Yes, the best part of the summer
vacation is coming home.

If we have failed TO make entireyl
plain our attitude towards the Jen-
nings administration, as well as to-
wards the present administration, it
is because there are limitations to
even our splendid American Ian
guage. We have frequently called
public attention to the unmistaka-
BILE evidence of the existence of graft
and other irregularities" as to the
former; we have never By word or
deed even intimated that these
things are chargeable to the latter;
and we believe that there will never
be occasion to do so, although our
duty, rs well as our right, may impel
us to utter what we may believe te
be just criticism upon any of its acts.

Honey In Madagascar.

Among the observances Of the fan
droana, or New Years festival, in Mad
agascar is the eating Of mingled rice
and honey by the queen and her guests.
In the same country honey is placed in
the sac: ed water Of sprinkling used at
the blessing OF small children. Ancient
religious ceremonies Of the heather
frequently employed honey, but 1t was
forbidden as a sacrifice In the Jewish
ritual With milk or water 1t was pre-.
scented by the Greeks as libatlon to
the dead. A honey cake was the
monthly food Of the tabled serpent
guardian of the acropolis Of Athens.
Peruvian aborigines offered honey to
the sun.

Some Big Farming Figures.

DR.. Abner II. Williams, who coll
ducts large larm of ! 400 acres near
Alachua, upon what is known as the
Barnes plantation, has demonstrated
with considerable profit and salts
faction that farming in Florida pays,
if it is conducted on business-like
aud practical principles. Last year
DR.. Williams, feeling confident that
short staple cotton could be grown
in this county at greater profit
than long staple, or Sea Island, as an
experiment planted tw en- Won {
acres, with the result that the plant
thrivpd well and the harvest amount
ed to thirty-eight bales, which he
marketed in savannah at II cents
per pound. But DR.. Williams long
suit is hay, and every year he makes
good thing financially from this
crop. Last year he Melted $4,000 on
hay, and the coming season expects
to realize 10000. He has been ac-
custompd to bale his hay and sell at
$40 per ton, +. o. b., at his farm
which is on the Atlantic Coast Line
The production is said to be as fine
as is grown in the United States
and the demand is ready. the great.

tIons not one egg in a million ever Dc

around and deliberately eat them,
For the past few years l have peen

the male parent has some maternal III

nest for the female, some little pocket
with a gravel bottom protected lroll
fine strong current, but with plenty OF
fresh water, and then hugs or pushes
the female into it. The eggs are
spawned by the female, who swims
away and leaves them to their rate

AN AFTER ELECTION
PRAYER.

Teach us, o Lord, to see the bright
side of things that we may radiate
the sunshine.
Save us, we pray thee, from petty
ness and fault findings and self
seeking. And may our minds be too
big for prejudice and our hearts too
large for hatred.
Keep us, on the one hand, from
the pride of pretense and on the
other from self-pity and moroseness.
Help us that we may be sweet.
Guide us that we may be glad.
May we be charitable in thought
and generous in deed, white-souled
and helpful.
May we be straightforward and
unafrald.
Help us to love and laugh and give
as we loved and laughed and gave in
childhood. And so lead us that We
may be mean to none of thy children.
Keep us in the ways of temperance

ought to do and that we may not do
the things we ought not to do.
Forgive us our waywardness and
forgetfulness and the deceit that is
in us and lead us into the serene and
blessed ways of peace.
May that which is good in us be
made stronger and that which is bad
in us made weaker.
And save us from pessimism and
spitefulness and narrowness and

Look with tenderness upon those

happiness with them.
May we forget those who hate us

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, August 14.--The specu-
lative forces which developed in last
weeks stock market gathered energy
for rush with the opening of the
week which swept the whole of the
early market to higher level of
prices. The very large selling to take
profits which the market had to en-
counter had increasing effect as the
day progressed and gave the later
market some appearance of WEAKNESS,
but there was no mistaking the in
creased force of the miscellaneous out
side demand coming from various
sources through commission houses
which made itself manifest in the ac-
emulation of large buying orders
over Sunday. The quietness of the later
demand, however, showed that the
accumulated orders at the opening
were not followed up in equal volume.
The professional element were left
rather obviously to take the market in
hand again. This they did by the re-
newal of last weeks tactics of success
sive advances here and there in the
market. The days dealings, which
made, on the whole, a broad and eff
fective market, were based on the
general considerations which were al
ready making themselves felt last
week. Principal of these is the favor
weeks government report A good
effect was produced by the report that
the dispute over freight rates on GER
tain articles as between the Atlantic
and the Gulf lines had been settled
and the cutting of rates done away
with. Attention was given also to re-
ports that the purpose to call AMI eX-
ira session of Congress had been re-
considered, thus promising delay in
the bringing forward of questions
which are viewed with some perturba-
ton from the stock market stand
point. Stocks made substantial re-
covery late in the day, the corn
grangers again leading, but the. per-
slstence of the selling to realize made
the closing irregular.
