faced little lad attracted Our atten-
ton. He had come to receive a
basket for his family. He seemed
manly little fellow and waited
without a .nurmur, holding fast to
his his precious ticket. There were
five other children in the family,
he said, all younger than he, and
he was twelve. Father had had
his foot injured six weeks before
by molten lead spilled on it. Work
was none too plentiful anyway, but
now he was unable to do it if it
was TO be had. Mother? No, mother
couldn't work, either. She'd been
laid up for some time with rheu-
matism.
Dear me, that is bad, SYM

looks after the family?'

I does the homework, washes
the children and looks after things.

IN THE number of inquiries con-
stantly received regarding the
Brownsville country may be taken
as an indication, we may look for
a great influx of population to this
section within the next few months.
Not a day passes but THE HERALD
receives from two to four letters
regarding the country, to say moth
ing of the stream of inquiries that
deluge our land agents daily. These
inquiries are from people in the
north who have become tired of
the rigors of zero weather, and are
seeking a warmer climate, where
health and prosperity may be OBJ
tanned. Such possibilities exist in
this section in a marked degree and
THE HERALD is always glad TO do
its best to induce immigration to
this section.

How a Japanese Farms.

Imagine a buckwheat field in
Japan. The buckwheat has been
planted in rows, twenty-four to
twenty six inches apart--every-
thing is planted in rows or drills
in the Flowery Kingdom. The
spaces between the rows, when the
buckwheat is in full flower, are
titled with a hoe as deep as pos
sible.
The earth is then raked up from
the middle toward the buckwheat,
leaving a furrow, in which is plant
ed rape, or gray winter peas, the
soil is drawn over the seed loosely.
When the rape, or peas, are about
two inches high the buckwheat is
harvested, the soil il occupied hood
deep and furrowed to receive turnip
seed and more manure.
SO the work goes on continually,
one crop after another, or rather
one crop overlapping another, all
the year round without cessation,
but always manure, manure, and
deep hoeing.
The Japanese faImar does not
know anything about rotation of
crops, the preceding crop being
matter of Indifference TO him, the
succeeding one being determined
by his store of manure, the season
of the year, or requirements OF the
farm. If there is deficiency of
manure, the rows between the
plants are allowed TO lie fallow
until a sufficient quantity has been
collected; il never occurs to his
mind to plant without manuring.
BY this close system of cultiva-
ton, and a constant succession of
varied crops without regard to the
character of their food, it is not
difficult to conjecture that the soil
is liable to become exhausted and
barren, but such is not the case.
On the contrary, it is well attested
that fields have been so cultivated
for hundreds of years without the
slightest diminution in their fer
tility, the quantity and quality of
the plants grown being invariably
the same. Exchange.

And the case is byno means with
ont precedent Once people would
have said simply that the man scar
cd himself to death over the dog.
II is only another way of putting
it. That, apparently, is the way in
which most of the human victims
of rabies die. Bitten by an animal
which may be perfectly healthy,
they produce not only the symp-
toms, but the effects, of the disease
by turning the whole current of
their thinking and being into that
one terrible channel Normal ex-
istence for them ceases, and an in
tense perversion of the faculties
ends life itself.
Perhaps if men had not minds
capable of working them mortal i'll
in this way they would be without
the opposite power of perfect pre-
possession in good work. of self
forgetfulness in their devotion to a
object. That is the good
side Of this subject of auto-sugges-
ton. It's good effects far outweigh
the evil results of the perversion.

What Causes HydrOphObia.

From the New York Mail.
A man in Chicago died of hydro
phobia because his little dog was
bitten by another dog which was
supposed to have rabies. The man
was entirely untouched, and the
dog was unframed by the bite.
But the man. who loved the dog,
so constantly feared that his pet
would be overtaken by the disease
that he was attacked by il himself
and died as the result of 'auto-sug-
gestion."
So, at any rate, the doctors say.

What Is a Hen2

A boy who was required to write
an essay on hens produced the fol-
lowing:
Hens is curious animals; they
don't have no nose nor no teeth
nor no ears. They swallow their
whites whole and chew it up in
their crops inside of 'em. The
outside of hens is generally put
into pliers and into feather busters.
The inside Of hen is sometimes
filled with marbles and shirt but
tons and such. A hen is very
much smaller than a good many
other animals, but they'll dig up
more tomato plants than anything
that amt hen. Hens is very use
ful to lay eggs for plum puddings.
Hens have got wings and can fly
when they get frightened. / cut
off hens head with Ratchet and
it frightened her to death.
Here is a horrible reflection on
Texas-the figures are furnished
us By Cashier Brown, of the First

hogs purchased in Fort Worth in

EXPRESSES OUR SENTIMENT.

Considering that such a large
majority of the public schoo
teachers of the State are ladies,
and lose nothing by comparison
with the men in scholarship anc
teaching ability either, the failure
to give them propler recognition
on the text book commission
seems to us most glaring and
unjust discrimination. The Lead.
er heartily endorses the following
editorial expression on the subject
from the Biloxi Review:
The Review is well disposed tc
endorse the editorial comment Of
the Clarksdale Challenge upon the
appointments to the text book
commission, ID which the conten,
ton is well put, that a woman
should have been named upon the
board. We think the naming oil
woman for that commission
would have gone farther than the
mere righteous recognition of the
sex, would have been to have &C.
centuated the usefulness of the
board. We should have very
much liked to have seen represen-
tation given our women because
of their great interest in such
matters and their peculiar fitness
for the duties Of the position.
That there was good reason why
it was not done we are quite sure,
for we incline to the opinion that
Governor Vardaman entertains
ideas not far dissimilar to those
here expressed. And just here
we believe now and have advocat-
ed in the past, that d law should
be passed making it obligatory
upon the powers having such mat
tiers in control to give women rep
resentation on our school boards.
1t should have been done long age
and it is not too late now to do q
righteous, and we believe, a wise
act.
An effort is being made to have
the May term of the franklin
county Circuit Court pretermit-
ted; the excuse given for wanting

are much behind with planting

reason is believed to be fear by

Joseph JefiersOn's Recent Letter to a
Friend.

a letter was received By Her
lbert Satterlee, Of Brooklyn, from
Joseph Jefferson a few days be-
| fore the veteran actor was taken
ill at Palm Beach. Mr.. Satterlee
had written Mr.. Jefferson asking
fadvice how best to succeed in the
theatrical profession. Mr.. Je1er-
son answered:
Success is attained by few, in
its best and most valuable form.
Many men become rich and many
become famous, but not more
than one out of a hundred men
are ever truly successful. A man
may be able to write masterpiece
Eof literature and still not be able
to keep his own life pure; or he
may paint scenes of ravishing
beauty on canvas and not be able
to make his own life beautiful.
He may be dissipated and he may
not be able to tell the truth, and,
therefore, he is not successful,
even though he has painted the
prize picture of the year or writ
ten the most successful book Of
THE season.
