TA difficulty that surrounds the ur.
building of homes in the south, by
young men, Or others OF moderate re.
sources, from the saving of smal
sums Of money, which now are bein.
absorbed in more or less extravaganza
of living nr IN dc.::ss right right waste, is oi
all present needs the one most urgent
The towns OF the south, as rule,
are without building associations, OF
similar corporatte aid, and hope is too
often aud too long deferred in the
heart Of the would be home owner.
The real wealth, the true mora. ele-
walton, the only inurinsicly substantial
advance of any community depends
primarily, and all the time, upon the
number of It's homes, that is-in es
sence of love inspired into enterprise
and IN fatherly and motherly solici
tude, that all near and dear 30 them, be
kept as far, as possible, removed from
bad example and from the reach OF sin
AS 10 the building, the shelterIng pro-
tection and the spiritual, ethical and
material betterment, of the home. is
found the only permanent advance
that which places civilized man
above the savage so the desire to best
protect loved ones bv fixed abode, ire
sistibly tends toward the erection and
ownership of homes. Homes, whether
urban or suburban, are to all commu-
mites the most vital factor in the,
real upbuilding of healthy and lasting
advance
Nothing is perhaps more discourage

upon the open sea Of life, than that
continual drain, absorbing all their |
net earnings,-rent. Any corporate
plan therefore that safely and convcn-
iently places the home seeker in a DO.
sition OF ownership and converts his
payments for rent into installment
payments on property, in acquisition
OF ownership, is in line with true prac-
tical philanthropy the aiding Of
others to help themselves.
The true prosperity of a town is in
the numper Of it's homes and that
which by it's aid helps the would be
home owner to become the real home
owner, no matter by what name it
goes, is to town and country, the
source of greatest good.

FOND OF PRUNEs.
Possible Substitute for camphor Balls
to Protect Winter
Clothing.

II have made discovery, or, at
least, | think it is a discovery" said
the housewife, according to the New
York Sun. Moths like prunes.
II have mentioned that fact to many
persons since found II was true, and
they have scoffed at me, all but my
grocer. He tells me that he discov-
cred some time ago that moths are
very fond of prunes.
II have noticed for some time an oc-
casional moth flying around my kitch-
en-, and | wondered where they came
from. | remembered a few days ago
that | had placed a package of prunes
on an upper shelf in the kitchen closet,
and went looking for il.
Now, this was pound package of
prunes, and the package was sealed. |
noticed several little holes near the
top of the package, and as / cut the
top open what was my surprise to find
II full of moths!
IF moths like prunes so much, |
rather think that some day prunes may
take the place of cGmphor balls when
1t comes time to pack away the winter
clothing"

RARE SHAKESPEARE FOUND
Disputed 1894 Edition Of "Titus An
dronicus" Discovered in Sweden
in Good Condition.

London.-One of the most interesting
romances In literature has just been an
nounced. It is nothing less than the dis
covery In the house of a countryman In
Sweden OF an almost perfect 1894 quarto
Of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus."
The very existence of this edition has
hitherto been discredited.
In Arber's transcript Of the registers
OF the stationers Of London the edition
Is recorded, but most photographers, In
the absence of proof, regarded 1t is a
sham entry. The only other evidence
is. in Langbaine's Dramatic Poetry,
1891, in which 1t is stated that Titus
Andronicus" was first printed in quarto
in London in 1894, adding that no copy
survived of that edition. Yet London
photographer heard on December from
the Librarian of the Lund university who
had been entrusted with the care OF the
extraordinary find above described.
The only blemish in the quarto is tina.
about ten words have been erased from
the text. Assuming that 1t Is genuine
the photographer thinks that 1t will
probably come to England and be sold
at auction at Sotheby's, where 1t will
probably fetch from 96O0 to Ell 900. He
expresses regret that the British muse
um is unable to buy the rare volume
Others suggest that the quarto will brine
much higher price. probably from
$4,000 to $4,000.

An IRRIGATION EXHIBIT.
Oregon Exposition VIII Show What
Has Been Done to Redeem
Arid Lands.

Because of the large amount Of land
in the Pacific northwest which has
been reclaimed by irrigation, and the
larger amount which Is at present
worthless on account of the lack Of
water supply, the irrigation exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark exposition will
prove unusually interesting, says a
recent account. The exhibit will be
complete, well arranged and instruct
i've, and will prove marvel to east
ern people, who know little of the won.
derful results which an artificial wa
ter supply has accomplished in many
western districts.
The exhibit will consist largely OF
working models of irrigation projects,
the largest being patterned after the
$3,000,000 plant now being built In
southern Arizona. The models will
show the manner of storing the water
by reservoirs, the method Of carrying
1t into the lowlands by means OF
canals and fumes. and its final distri-
There will also be models of dams and
reservoirs, and an exhibit of instru-
ments used in determining the
amount of water which may be util-
lied from any given stream.
In addition to these displays, there
will be practical illustration of irri-
cation methods on the grounds back
of the government building, on the
peninsula in Guilds lake, where there
will be a small farm with crops grow
ing on land actually irrigated.

RIGHTS OF CHORUS GIRLS.
New York Manager Protects Them
from Unwelcome Attentions
of Men.

The time is past when wealthy
young men can sit in the front row
of a first-class theater and og!e the
young women in the chorus, says the
New York Sun. Certain managers
used never to make strenuous objec-
tions to this sort of fun. providing
the young men didn't interfere with
the enjoyment of the rest of the au-
dience, but no manager will permit it
now.
Five well-known young men about
town tried II at a Broadway theater
few nights ago, and the manage
ment put up with their nonsense until
the first part Of the show was over.
Then the five left their seats and start
ed out for a drink. When they re-
turned they were allowed to enter the
theater, but two ushers barred the
aisle leading to their seats. Near
the ushers stood the manager of the
house. Said he to the five young men:
The ladies Of the chorus have COM
planned of your unwelcome attentions.
You have seen half of this show and
can get half the price of the face value
OF your seats at the box Office II you de-
sire. You can't return to your seats.
If you try TO- III have you all ar
rested"
The five young men consulted. Then
they apologized for their conduct. The
manager said he was sorry, but he
couldn't let them return to their seats.
They saw the rest of the show stand
ing up in the back of the house.

YANKEE INVENTIvENESS.
Massachusetts, Man Knew How to Ex-
tinguish Taper That Was
Inextinguishable.

In little Massachusetts, town lives
man who for two causes enjoys
deathless local fame, says Lippincott's
Magazine. For one thing. he Is the
only native of the place who has been
to Europe; and he, moreover, per-
formed while there the ensuing feat,
which the neighbors still recount with
breathless admiration:
While in Rome the New Englander
was shown a certain shrine before
which burned solitary taper.
THAT taper" explained the guide in
machine-built English-"that taper he
has burned before this shrine 700
years. He miraculous taper. Never
he has been extinguish. For seven
long century that taper has miracu-
lously burn before one shrine, and
not once has been-what you call
put out"
The Yankee viewed the miracle can
die In silence for full minute. Then,
leaning slowly forward, he extin-
guished the flame with a mighty
puff"
Turning with triumphant chuckle
to the scandalized and speechless
guide, he announced, calmly,
"Wa'al, it's aout now!'

The literary taste of the Japanese
is significantly shown in the report Of

perience of most American and Eng
lsh Libraries.
While l2,fS6 works relating to the
ology and religion, or only 1.6 per
cent. of the total number of books in
the library. were asked for, according
to the records Of the past year, there
we're demanded by readers 166,677 vol
umes, of 21.6 per cent, classified under
the head of mathematics, science and
medicine.
Works on literature and language to
the number of 153,711-that is, 20 per
cent, were asked for, while 1S per
cent. of the applications were for
books on history and geography.
Works on art, industries, engineer

HAD TOO MANY LAWYERS.
Legal Fraternity Grew Too Numer-
GUS and King Henry VI. Trimmed
Their Number.

The dowager empress OF China
threatens another drastic reform. She
insists that the lawyers of her land
shall = study law, reports London
Black and White.
We all know the boast Of Peter the
Great-that there was but one lawyer
in the whole of Russia, and he was
going to have that one executed.
There was once a somewhat similar
feeling in England, though as the
statute in which 1t was expressed has
been repealed. only lawyers now know
anything about 1t. Henry vi. found
that he had too many legal gentle
men in his dominions, especially in
Norfolk and Suffolk. He drew har-
rowing picture of the conditions as
they had been and then were.
Formerly, he declared, when there
were but six or eight attorneys" in
these counties great tranquility pre-
vailed. But now the numbers had in
creased to fourscore. or more. (which
come to every fair, market and other
places where is any assembly of peo-
pie, exhorting. procuring, moving and
melting the people to attempt untrue
and foreign suits for smaA trespasses,
little offenses and small sums of
debt whereby proceed many suits more
Of evil viii and malice than of truth
of the thing, to the manifold vexa-
tons and no small damage of the in
habitants."
Therefore 1t was enacted that there
should be henceforth only six COMMON
attorneys in Norfolk, and the like
number in Suffolk, and two in the city
of Nnrn,ich
