Large Ard Small Crops

Frcm The Youths Companion.
Farmers are often in doubt
whether an exceptionally large
yield of anything resulting in low
prices, is as advantageous to them
as short crop at high prices.
The consumer Of flour or fruits or
cotton goods who has to pay higher
prices when there is Il shortage
has no doubt where his interest
lies. The farmer sometimes over
looks the effect of u short supply
and u high price in stimulating
competition which may prove
permanent. When cotton is rea-
sonabie iD prices the Lancashire
spiuuers are content to rely on this
county for il, bat If under scarcity
or speculation they are compelled
to pay tna much, they begin to look
for other sources Of supply, Every
year Of high prices greatly stimu-
Iates this search.
The higher wheat goes in Liver
pool the father settlers will be
pushed into the interior of Argen-
tina and Saskatchewan to raise it.
The farmer everywhere decides by its
average return how many ceres to 10y
down TO any particular crop, He can
not take advantage Of speculative con-
ditions, but must pau on averages.
When meat was so high in the United
States few years ago, certain beef
packers, who had built up trade
abroad, carried on business there at a
loss, They had spent thousands Of
dollars to gain customers who, they be-
lieyod, would be lost by an advance OF
prices.
The big crop, at fair price, is better
all round in the long run, in spite Of the
temptation to desire ,the exceptional re-
turns which may result from scarcity.

BEsSEMER's DEVICE.
His Reward For II Came When He Ne
Longer Wanted Money.

In an autobiography of Sir Henry
Bessemer is told how, in 1893, when
he was youth of twenty, he learned
that the British government was
losing about 100000 year
through the use of forged stamps.
He set about finding a remedy. In
nine months he discovered how to
forge government stamps with the
greatest ease. This was IA risky bit
Of knowledge for a struggling young
man who wanted money wherewith
to get married to the girl of his
choice. But young Bessemer, hav-
ing invented forthwith the perforat-
ed stamp that is now known every
where, went gayly to the govern
ment officials with the forgeries in
his pocket to ask if they we're gen.
uine. When Sir Charles Presley
passed them as genuine Bessemer re-
marked that he knew they were
forgeries- simply because l forged
them myself" Then he suggested
a remedy. 1t was accepted. Besse-
mer was offered the post of superin-
tendent of stamps-for plant and
staff must be reorganized-at
$4,000 to $1,000 year.
Young Bessemer went away hap
PLY to tell his good luck to the girl
of his choice. He explained to her
the situation, how old stamps had
been picked off documents and used
again and how he had invented an
elaborate plan to remedy this. 'But
surely" said the young lady, "if all
the stamps had date put on them
they could not at a future time be
used without detection" This
rather startled young Bessemer.
But he devised simple method Of
marking the date. The British gov
eminent was delighted. The device
was accepted. And, as no change Of
machinery or staff was needed, BeS-
semer was informed that no superin-
tendent of stamps would be appoint
ed. Thus he had deprived himself
of a job.
Forty-fye years later, after he
had invented the "Bessemer proc
esS" Of preparing iron and had made
great fortune, Bessemer wrote to
Lord Beaconsfeld, then prime min
lister, pointing out that he had saved
the country millions without the re-
ward of penny. He no longer
wanted money, but the government
acknowledged the debt and paid it
with knighthood.

MEDICINE IN PERSIA.
A Cure That Pleased the Doctor Moro
Than the Patient.

.
Than the Patient.
Of the progress of medical science
the Persian people know little. They
divide diseases into two classes, hot
and cold. A cold remedy is applied
to 'hoP disease and a hot remedy
to a "cold" one. In with the Pill
grims to Mecca" the author tells his
experience with one Of their physi-
cians;
The evening before l left Mecca for
Jiddah l was suffering from a rack
ing headache, and my friends advis-
ed me to consult certain Arab ply
sician.
In the east they never break the
ice of silence with a remark on the
weather. The customary opening is
to inquire if you are in health. I
told the doctor in answer to his
question that l had a bad headache
and had come to him to be cured.
He asked me on which side the head
ached. I touched the spot, where
upon he fell to rubbing it vigorously
with the palm of his right hand,
calling out the while to the urchin
to fetch the necessary apparatus for
the forthcoming operation. The
boz disappeared. In a few minutes
he came back, bearing in both hands
a round, hollow plate of clay in
which were a few Jumps Of burning
charcoal.
The next thing he brought in were
a couple of'iron rods about twice the
length ofan ordinary pencil, togeth-
er with a cup filed with a black
liquid composed, if mistake not, OF
starch and the SCOT of, an oil lamp.
The doctor thrust the. rods in the
glowing charcoal. The fear Of be-
ing branded bathed my brow in
sweat. The doctor assured me / had
no cause to be,afraid.
The tips of the rods by this time
were red hot. Having dipped them
in the cup ofiink, he closed,his eyes
and then raised his voice in\ an in
cantatioR that lasted several min
utes. Not.a single word couldlI UNI
derstand. When j, was over he
opened bis eyes and, saying the
word "Bismillah," proceeded to
draw with one Of the rods, now cool,
on my right temple five perpendicu-
lar lines crossed by five horizontal
ones, thus forming sixteen tiny
squares. Several magic 'hieroglyph-
les besides were inscribed in the
same manner behind my ears'and on
the nape ofmy neck.
After every operation the good
doctor would pause to ask me, "Is
the pain gone nOw?" Four times
did / tell the truth. Then, fearing
further tattooing, l assured the per-
seyering little man that | thought
| was better.
His Joy knew no bounds. He said
the secret was left to him as an in
heritance from his father and that
on no account must / wash off the
signs until the next day or the pain
would return.

The Philosophy of Learning TO
Forget

There is wide and deep philoso-
ply contained 10 the phraseolOgy
of the street-"Forget it,"
1t is as important to forget as to
remember. One is az di fficult as
the other, and ability along one
line is as hard to acquire as the
other. Both must be cultivated.
1t is impossible to become an
optimist without learning how to
forget. Disagreeable things are
sure to happen, and one must train
oneself to wipe them off the mind
as the boy wipes the figures off the
slate. Having erased the ugly
memories, it is easier to write the
pleasant things on tie slate of
the memory.
The Indian, for instance, never
forgets a slight or an injury. He
will walt a life time to get even.
Don't be an Indian. Life lie too
short.
The man who considers him self
a nemesis, who treasures up
wrong, who nurses an injury, who
lets ignoble hatreds tester in his
heart, cannot be a happy man.
His soul is like a crouched tiger
ready to spring upon the victim of
his wrath.
Learn how to forget.
Fit is easier for you to put on
record in your memory personal
grievances and to hug an ugly
feeling it is because you have
chosen to do so. If you hoard up
in your mind the unhappy episodes
of life it is because you have form
ed the habit of doing so.
To persist in that habit of mind
will make you miserable and a
confirmed crouch. There is moth
ing noble in such disposition to
remember.
Learn to forget.
Let go the uninspiring, the de-
pressing and weakening grievance.
Hold on to the memories that cheer
end brighten. There is no room
for both. Wipe out the resent
ments. Write in place of your
hatred the things that are pure
and just and lovely and of good !
report.
Has some one treated you i'll or
put a slight upon you?
Forget it.
Do not let it spoil your hap
piness. 1t is a trifie light as air.
Scorn to be sccrhed by one whom
you scorn.ls that a matter to make
you fretp Is that a natter to
cause regret? Let no mean thing
ruffle the serenity of your soul.
Forget it.

COSTLY POLITICS
Many Poor Men Debarred from
Running for Office

/
The accounts filed by the various
candidates for Office in the recent
Democratic primary, evidence con-
ditions far from satisfactory. If
such expe nditures are conditions
precedent To nomination for
office, they certainly debar anv
other than rich men from aspiring
to Official stations. But can it
be truly said that such expenses of
conducting the primary would
have been sufficient bar to many
worthy men? This can be OBJ
waited by establishing legal pri-
mary and putting that expense
upon the State. But that was in
NEST cases only a small part of the
expense account reported. The
cost of maintaining headquarters,
Of printing and circulating cam
paign material, of clerk hire,
travelling expenses and many other
items would seem to have been ex-
trayagant, but the candidates, in
their eagerness to win the respec
tive prizes for which they were
contending, seem not to have
counted the cost.
The salary of the offices in the
case of some of the candidates,
for the entire term, was nore than
absorbed in the expense of secur.
ing the nomination. But the
coveted honor was esteemed of
more value by far thar the salary
attached to the Office. Those who
paid the bills doubtless telt that
they could afford to pay the price.
To the defeated candidates the ex-
pense incurred is a clear loss. To
the successful aVpirants, except
the candidate for United States
Senator, there is to be added the
cost of the campaign for election
to the Office itself, while there is
no prospect that the Democratic
nominees can or will be defeated, |
it is yet incumbent upon them to
make the fight. Even the candi-
date for United States Senate
must make an effort to cecure the !
election of Democratic Legisla-
ture, for if that should fail his
nomination would be of no benefit |
to him.
This expense incident to Sc
curing the nomination is not due !
to the plan of making nominations
by primary election. BY any other
method, the candidates would con-
duct their claims to the voters.
The candidates themselves are re-
sponsible for the heavy cost of
the campaign. They can make it
little or much, and there should
be some sort of agreement among
them, by which much of the ex-
pense could be eliminated. We do
net want an office holding aristoc-
raey in the State, though il does
look like we have been tending in
that direction for years. Roanoke

A Benefit Society Seven Centuries Old

A Benefit Society Seven Centuries old.
Many Englishmen are wont to
pride themselves that England is
the home and parent Of the mutual
benefit friendly society. The claim
could scarcely be substanhated. In
old Montpelier there still honishos
a mutual benefit friendly society
under the title Of st. Faith which
has an unbroken history dating back
to about 1920. Statute books dat
ing to 1902 are still preserved, and
they are believed to be but reproduc-
tons of statutes in force a century
or two earlier, which were burned
during the civil war of the sixteenth
century. During all these centu-
ries the society has never failed its
members in case of sickness, injury
or infrmity.
