A curious survival of the days when

the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree The old alchemists used
to make their diyining rods out Of
hazel twigs, and they fostered the be-
lief that 1t would mysteriously direct
its owner to hidden treasures, If it was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required in all those occult
entertainments Of the middle ages. As
time went on, the rod Of Jacob" as
branch of hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. Not
only would it lead to the discovery Of
buried boards, but it would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals.
It was a sure guide to underground
springs as well, and was an unfailing
charm against the lightning.

Curious French Market.


There is a curious old market near
Paris In which everything is sold at
secondhand Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot. AS writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy straw one,
exchange her old dress for new one
and, If she likes, buy steak and a
salad for her dinner, paper bag Of
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with a
wooden leg who wants new boot In
exchange for dozen sardine tins, five
gloves and stocking.

from the edge of the beach to make a

"Ain't goin' to try, Lank. Pm layin'

How they could possibly escape cap
sizing Lank could not understand until,
Just as Barnacles was about to make
the turn, be saw the captain tighten the
right hand rein until it was as taut
as weather stay. OF necessity Bar
nacles made no turn, and there was no
upset. Something equally exciting hap
pened, though.

he had not equaled since the days when
he had figured in "the grand hippo

other leap and he was hook deep in

and an impetuous splash the dory en-
tered its accustomed element, lifting
some three gallons of salt water neatly
over the bows. Lark ducked. The I'M

flying brine struck fairly under her

newly made Mrs. Bean chung despair

as the plunging Barnacles, who struck
out wildly with his green legs and
snorted every time wave hit him.
But the lines held up his head and
kept his nose pointing straight for the
little beach on Sculpin Point, perhaps
a quarter of q mile distant.
Somewhat heavy weather the deep
laden dory made of it, and in spite Of
Lankss vigorous bailing the water
sloshed around Mrs Beams boot tops,
vet in time the sail and Barnacles
brought them safely home.

CURTAILING PRODUCTION.

The slogan 10 be preached
from the valleys and hilltops of
the entire cotton belt during the
next three months is the curtail
ment of the cotton acreage for
1906 and an increase of the food
supply crops. Independence in
cotton production can only come
TO those engaged in it's culture
through system of selfsustain-
ing farming. This is the first
great lesson to be learned In the
business, and the second is that
of systematic and profitable
marketing. Fill your corn cribs
and smokehOuses from the pro-
ducts OF your farms and thereby
be in position to maintain the
price Of your cotton on a fair
and profitable basis.
If the world has more cotton
than it needs at this time cur
tail production and reduce the
yield of the staple to the actual
needs of consumption. The cot
ton acreage must not be increas-
ed this year. Every man who
did not decrease his acreage full
ly 25 per cent. last year, should
do so this year. Cotton is to-
day the cheapest product on the
market. The cotton growers re-
ceive less compensation for their
labor than any other people in
the United States, notwithstand-
ing they enjoy an absolute mo.
nopoly of its production, while

upon the staple for clothing. Let
me appeal TO you now while it
is yet time, to pause and reflect
and not rush headlong to fatal
destruction by planting an in
creased acreage in cotton this
year. A short crop will pay you
good profits, large crop will
mean not only disaster for you
personally, but for the whole
South. Let Us act with wisdom
and discretion and let the con-
suming world understand that

upon you the high Importance
OF extending and perfecting the

come loyal and patriotic men,
Der of this great movement.
Nothing can be accomplished
without systematic effort and
thorough organization. Il h
forces with which we have to
contendahave b en- organized for
fifty years and have unlimited
resources of both brains and
money. Learn to have con
tidence in your association and
its leaders. Determine to con.
tribute TO its support, that its
efforts in your behalf may not
be handicapped for the want of
friends. Combine with your
local merchants and bankers to
safeguard and protect the value
of your great staple crop from
the whitening and blighting
hands of it's enemies. Cut down
your cotton acreage, increase
your food supply crops. Live
at home. Hold your cotton for
fifteen cents and victory will be
yours before the hot DAYS of
summer are felt over this land
of the free and the brave.
