HOW RHEUMATlCS TICK.

The physician at the headquarters of the United States Naval Recruiting station had about completed the ey- animation of a candidate for enlist ment when the latter was asked whether he had ever had a serious spell of sickness. The young man replied that he had once had a spell Of rheumatism in the shoulder. The doctor then placed his ear near the young mans breast to scover if pos sible whether his heart had been at all affected by the rheumatism, where upon the young man asked, "Did you hear it beat, doctor?" Hear what beat?" asked the doctor. "Why, the rheumatism in my shoulder"

the balance and found wanting,
 and it is high time for southern
 planters to look elsewhere for
 help which will bring intelligence
 and discretion to aid them in
 their operations.
 Much that the Times-Enterprise says is true, but the Graphic agrees with many of the other southern newspapers, which have recently ex- pressed themselves, that the big plan tation is rapidly passing, and that it must give way to the small farm. The negro labor to carry on operations on the big plantations can not be had. If foreign white labor is used it will not prove satisfactory for any great while, because white people are not content to toll for others always, but want a home of their own and enough land to cultivate to make a living and at least a small surplus.
 The large plantation in the dark tobacco belt has passed away, and in it's stead is the small farm, each farm supporting a family, and with the passing of the big plantation the dark tobacco belt began to experience a new prosperity, which has increased yearly, and which could never have hpaD known undpr inc large O1anta- ton regime.

MY DRAN'PA.

My dram pa is prophet man, And he can do things, too, The queerest that you ever heard, That other folks can't do. He never got to go to school When he was young like me, For the woods was full of awful That would eat him, yes sir-ree! But for him, who l.nows so many
 things,
 There wasn't any need To fret and worry over books To learn to spell and read His library hangs on nail, With his great tobacco sack, book brimful of knowledge, ITS a yellow almanac But from his store of wisdom That through all time does range, The only thing he wants to know Is when the moon w Il change. Aid when he sees the bright new
 moon
 Hang in the western sky, He'll tell the next weeks wather.
 sure,
 By the way the two roints lie Or if a big owl goes. "hoo-heo!" And fills me full of fright, He knows if it will rain or not By the time it is at night He knows the holes where the big fish
 stay
 Along the shady creek; But don't like to fish with him, For he never lets me speak. The funniest thing it is to see My dran'pa hunt around To find a stream of water
 Down underneath the ground. Tn his hands he holds a forked switch And points it to the sky; But it begins to turn straight down When the hidden stream is nigh. If you will dig where it po'nts down, And far enough you go A stream of water. I know, you'll
 find,
 For dranpa said twas so. There's lots of other things, guess. My dran'pa knows to do, But I haven't time just now to stop And tell them all to you.

FORTUNES MADE
 FROM SEAWEED

Along the shores of Jorderen, on the southwest coast of Norway, the seaweed grows in veritable forests; not the common gass variety. but actual trees from five to six feet in height, with stems like ropes and leaves as tough as leather. It be- gins to sprout in March and April, and gradually covers the ocean bed with a dense, impenetrable brush.
 In the fall the stem becomes tender, the roots release their suctionlike grip on the rocky bottom, and the autumn winds wash it ashore in such great quantities that the weed looks like a huge brown wall along the en- tire coast
 The fall crop is of comparatively small value The only use that can be made of it S for fertilizing pur- poses, becausee it is only in the spring that it can be successfully burned, and at this time there Is SuCn a demand TOT It that every Sldlk and leaf gathered as if it were pure coin.
 1. The weed burning season is the bus:es of the year, and every member of the household is drafted to assist in gathering, drying and burning. At the close of each clear day the whole coast seems to be aaane from the thousands of bonfres that are kept Burning far into the night. This is cne of the many natural resources that is unexpectedly developed in Norway and no one ever dreamed twenty years ago that this seemingly worthless weed would in a few years, as a source of income, surpass the fisheries, which have been the main stay of the people for ages, or rival that of agriculture in one of the l leading agricultural distrcts in Nor. | way.

SOME NEW LINEN SUITS.

Linen coat suits have taken new lease on life, in the shape of those rony jackets and styles which border closely on the military. A length which comes just to the hips is par ticularly good, and is one of those styles bound to become popular, be- cause, unlike many of our present styles, the difference between good and average figures is not SO sharply defined.
 Linen suits, for that matter. are already being shown, some of them as plain little affairs as any last year showed: some of them far and away more elaborate than any dreamed of last year. Some of these elaborate ones are marvels of lace, just enough linen used to hold the motifs and in- sertions together into a design, which somehow, is part of the coat itself. The skirts to such jack ts are lace trimmed too. not to so extravagant an extent, naturally, as are the jackets, but enough to make the whcle sus- of the same rich character
 With the pla ner suits, simpler blouses are best in keeping-made of as fine stuff as you care to afford but in quite simple styles, finishing. pei haps, in the soft little stock which fills out that Vshaped opening at tke neck of your coat, or with the turn over cellar and lingerie ties.
 Even in the palmer suits shown, elbow sleeves are in evidence. but for the more practical purposes long sleeves will be seen as well.
 Plaid handkerchief linen is a new recruit to the linen ranks which is as good in style aa it is effectiyn. T he prottiest, best HGed size plaid is -aie up of bands abOus quarter ef an inch wide Qilla those tapel Ike bor- ders to some of the new French hand kerchiefs1, spaced about two inches apart.

FARM LABOR.

Dicussing the movement inaugu ,ated at Pine Bluff to import foreigr Chite laborers to take the place O. .egro laborers on the plantations, the Ionesboro mes-Enterprise says:
 The planters in the vicinity Of Pine Bluff, Ark, are the next to take up the substitution of the Italian for the negro upon the farm as laborers.
 The reasons for the substltu- tion are obvious. The negro IS positively too trifling and ire sponsible. He has been carried now for nearly half a century by the planters of the south, and he has not yet learned the first les son in the obligation of contracts. He has been given the most superb credit the world has ever known, and it is the exception when he has not abused the confi- dence. His opportunities have been many and excellent, and vet it is one in thousand who has been resolute and steadfast enough to reap the benefit.
 We venture to say that in the whole Pine Bluff district. or for that matter, in any southern planting district. there Is not one negro in a hundred who could, un- aided buy their bread and meat for a week. Nor is this poverty among them due to their environ ments. They work land as fertile as any in the world. They may hire out as laborers; they may work on the shares. or they may rent the acres they till. The la borers' pay is not low, the share process is equitable and the rent is not high, considering the yield of the land.
 Indeed, the conditions govern ing the life of the negro farm hands are most favorable to the accumulation of an independence. Every contract made with him Ieems with rich opportunities, but thus far he has not seized upon them, but has exhibited an utter insensib lity and a waSteful squandering of his earnings.
 When labor is scarce and the demand for it large, it stands to reason that a laborer with any in- telligence ought to thrive and grow fat. This is and has been the condition in the south for many years. The opening up cf the new lands has been more eX- tensive than the natural increase 9f labor Consequently, through out the whole section of a quar- Ter of a century and more the cry has bon more labor and more labor
 During this period of it's scare ity, and therefore it's value. the negro has controlled the tua- tion. It should have been a royal road 10 independence for line race. Instead, every chance hos been thrown away. and today finds the average farmland, if his debts are considered, poorer than he was upon the day of Lin coln's famous emancipation pro elamation.
 Truly he has been weighed in
