SOUTH ASHLEY

A very pleasing and successful func-
ton was the dance given at the home
of George Gray last Friday evening.
The guests began to arrive at about
1880 p. M, and the floors were inn
mediately waxed for dancing, which
continued until midnight, when re-
freshments were served. Dancing
was again resumed until an early
hour. The attendance numbered over
one hundred, and every body had a
good time. The music, which was
of the best, was furnished by the Lent

rotations. 1t takes three or four years
for 1t to form a compact sod. When
pasture has been once taken by blue
grass, the farmer has something that
will stay by him through cold ana
heat, food and drouth. In Kentucky
the farmers pride themselves on the
luxuriance of their blue grass pas
lures, some Of which are more than
fifty years old. 1t flowers but once IN
the season, but after being grazed or
cut it quickly sends up a new vigor-
Gus growth.
The grass does well in rather dry
soils, but will adapt itself to almost
any soil, even to the wet meadows.
In Kentucky and other states in which
the winters are mild it is used for
winter pastures and it is not infre-
quent that herds are kept on it the
year around. It does particularly
well where trees are scattered about
to give it partial shade during the
hot days of summer.

Kentucky Blue Grass.
(POa DratenSiS.)


This is one of the very famous
grasses of the United States and one
Of the most valuable. In different
parts of the country it is known by
different names, among which are:
Green Meadow Grass, June Grass,
Common Spear Grass.
The grass attains good height.
sometimes being 80 inches tall. The
leaves are narrow and long and are
easily distinguishable from Canadian
blue grass, which has broad leaf.
The roots are perennial and creeping,
and a pasture of this grass, if taken
care of, will last for many years. The
grass starts to grow very early in
the spring and flowers in the North
ern United States in June. 1t likes
a limestone soil, and on soil rich in
lime it establishes itself by forming a
very compact sod.
This grass is better adapted to pas
ture than to hay meadow, for the rea-
son that it does aot work we'll into the

Such change, said Senator TIL
man, aDropos of a certain bill, would
be about as satisfactory as the change
that a landlord once made.
"A woman came to see the landlord.
She wanted to look at a house that
was to let. The man sent a slerk to
show her over the house, and on her
return she said:
- like the house very we'll. There
IS only one thing that I object to-
Well, madam, any reasonable al.
teration,' the landlord murmured,
suaYely' would be made, provided
you took three years lease
I'd take a three years lease said
the woman. if only the house had
more closets
The number Of closets shall be
doubled, said the landlord.
'VeGy WELL" said the woman. in a
pleased voice, and she signed the lease
then and there.

uttering nothing but scientific facts.
AS I stood there, | say, with horse
blanket tied around my ears and
gazed at the north pole I thought
me of how one explorer after
another had journeyed northward,
subsisting on everything from shoe
polish to baled hay, and suffering
untold horrors and privations in
order that he might gaze, if for but
one brief moment, upon this north
pole which I now saw before me,
but didn't. AS I stood there, say,
with bed-tick dashed around my
waist and my nose frozen so stiff
that I was afraid every minute
somebody would touch it and it
would drop off, I said to myself,
Science has at last been indicated,

And then, staggering with emo

assisted to my sled, where 1 hit my
dog belt on the larboard port, and
in another moment [ was on my
way back.
1.-THE trip home was without
special incident, scientifically. ex-
cepting once, after the provisions
had run low, an Eskimo who acted
as first skipper to a dog named Zero
got into fight with Swede over
a tallow candle and a cake of soap
that both wanted for breakfast. In
closing, I only wish to add that the
country around the pole is very
poor and the crops seemed to be in
bad shape. l have the honor to

Ease of Reading.

In a study of the physiological
aspect of reading the curious fact has
been brought out that the Characters
tic features of letters are found for
the most part in the upper halves, so
that as the readers attention is here
directed he is often able to read a line
with the lower half of the letters COW
cred. 1t has. accordingly, occurred to
some French scientists that some con
sidera bic improvements could be made
in Typography, working along these
lines, and that increased legibility and
rapidity of reading would result. Some
of these suggestions have received a
practical application in some European
advertising signs, where legibility is a
prime essential, and the results have
been most SATISFACTORILY arper's.

His Travelling Bag.

''These railroads don't do thing to

"They do try to get all that's com

should say they do. Why, they held
me up for $3.50 for my travelling
bag"
Impossible"

but it's a fact"
