THE GREAT WORK AUBURN HAS
 BEEN DOING IN TURNING OUT MEN

teaching of theory is only part of Aubnrn's wcrk. Auburn teaches how theory shall be put into practice. The. ory is put into practice in fields. in shops and in laboratoris.
 This system of education so much more effective than the older system in which the laboratory was lacking is of equipment. At Auburn with Its 5So students there are no less than four teen well equipped departments and laboratories, furnished with educatton- al helps for practical demonstrations of all theoretic instruction.
 Her Work for Agriculture.
 By no means the least valuable labor of Auburn is devoted to the urlift of agriculture In Alabama. The good that has been accomplished by it's Farmers Institutes. her bulletins, her summer schools for farmers. her studies of soils and conditions. her generous prac- tlcal advice to the farmers of the State may not be estimated. It Is sufficient to say here that in the work of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for the uplift of agriculture in Alabama stan of a dozen experts spend all tnelr time and talents in solving the problems which the Alabama farmers are com peIled to encounter.
 What is Auburn in it's relation to Alabama7 It is a business proposition. It's encouragement. the improvement of it's facilities is an investment by the State, for there is no better way of turning the crude resources of Alaba- ma into articles of value to be placed on the list of taxable assets.
 Must Continue to Grow.
 The college must continue to grow. Even as this years matriculation Is so much greater than last years, so will next years be greater than that of this year--if there are accommodations, if there are facilities To this task. to the task of widening the field of the college President Thach and his as- sistants have zealously set themselves to work A new building Is going up. It is to cost $15,000. This useful ex- tension of the college facilities has been made possible without an appeal to the Legislature The money was gathered from college savings here and there until there was enough on hand to do the work. The new building will nrobably be large enough to absorb the present over growth of the college without furnishing a field for it's fu- ture development That is another problem that the future will have tc work out.
 Plans for college Future. But plans for widening and develop. ing the college have already been worked out by President Thach. The Board of Trustees at their last meeting went out to see that the claims of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute should be laid fairly and sauarely be-

The Chemical Laboratory Is two story structure, 40x60 feet, with rear protection, S5x60 feet, of one story and basement, and contains eight rooms. The interior is of pressed bricks, with cut stone trimmings and terra cotta ornamentation.
 In the basement are ample accommo- dations for assaying and storage.
 For Teaching CheEoistry.
 The laboratory for advanced work in chemistry will accommodate thirty students, and Is equipped in the same manner. Adjoining this are two rooms which are used respectively as bal anee room. and room for work with spectroscope. polariscope. etc
 The second story cntains a lecture roc m with seats and tables for i20 students. Around the lecture room are eases containing crude and manutac- tured products, Illustrating agricultural and mechanical chemistry, prominent subjects taught in the institution.
 The annex to the Chemical Labora- tory is a three-story brick building containing rooms for pharmacy. me- chanical engineering and drawing. The Chemical Laboratory for the Az rieulturaI Experiment Station occupies a building e0x26 feet. and Ia appropri- ated exclusively for chemical investiga- ton and research, and not for instruc- tlcn.
 Pioneer in Education. The Alabama Polytechnic Institute was the first college in the State to admit young women. The privilege was granted by the trustees to "youns women of mature mind and character not under IT years of age, and ready to enter the junior class. Tuition is free to residents of Ala | hama; for non-residents 1t Is $20. This tuition is awarded as a prise to non resident students who secure distino- tIon in their studioa. Board is from se 90 to SIS e month. The fees for th' Wear are s12, including the attendanoe | of the surgeon.

 It is the purpose, the effort of Au- burn to turn out men. Thirty-four years old the school is now. It has a history and record. The Auburn student has examples before him and the way has been pointed out. The college is proud of Its graduates, proud of what they have done. There were men among them. many men. some of whom lived on high ground. dreamed dreams and saw visions. some who set themselves to do mighty tasks, with the dogged pluck and trained skill to great and difficult tasks, men who tn- bued with that spirit wh1ch has made the American engineer, perhaps the rreatest engineer of the world. and made his fame for pluck and endur- anee world wide.

Century Old SUGAR Trees.

One of the veteran sugar makers of
New England is ThaXter Scott of Haw-
ley, who, although seventy-five years
of age, is out in the woods now each
day looking after his sap buckets as he
has done for siXty-five years each
spring, says the Boston Globe. Mr.
Scotts camp is made up of some 700
second-growth naples, admirably To-
Gated as to sun exposure, soil, ETC., and
these trees yield an average Of 125
to $50 gallons of syrup.
One of the trees has been tapped by
the three generations of Scots, who
have owned the camp, and has yielded
sap for 100 years. But the old maple
could not give sap forever. Its days
of usefulness ended, it's stump alone
remains stretching out its huge roots
in the ground. The stump is tifty-two
feet in circumference, and 1,400 feet OF
lumber have been cut from the tree.

NEEDLEWoRK NOTES.

Where a very accurate straight line
is required the material should not
be torn or cut, but thread must be
drawn first to act as a guide before
cutting.
If material has pattern running
one way only care must be taken
when cutting out a blouse that the
two fronts do not have the pattern
going in different directions.
AS a rule the warp threads which
run the length of the material are
stronger and more firmly woven than
the woof threads, which run from
selvedge to selvedge. Remembering
this, all parts of a bodice which are
likely to stretch, such as sleeves, col
lars and yokes. should be cut the
length of the stuff.
Sleeves which are full at the top
or are fashioned with puff should
always be made over lining for a
good fit to be insured and the fullness
to be kept in a proper position.
If sleeve is made with a long cuff
of lace it is best to mount it over
lining of white satin, but if trans
parent effect is wanted chiffon should
be used for the lining, as it makes the
arm look much whittier underneath.
The same rule applies to lace yoke.
Loosely woven materials or those
which are likely to fray easily are
often source of trouble to the mex.

Las Animas County Accidents.

Denver.-A Trinidad dispatch says:
Two men met death Tuesday in this
county from accidents, which makes a
total of twenty-three lives that have
been snuffed out by violence
in the last ten days. Tony
Thigia, a miner, was killed in the
mine of the Huerfano Coal Company
two miles west of this city, at o'clock
this afternoon. A loaded car of coal
jumped the track and collided with
some timbers near where Thigia was
working. One of the timbers struck
him across the head and crushed his
skull. AS a result of falling between
two cars of a Santa Fe work train,
Louis Bezaro, employed on the work
train, received injuries which caused
his death few hours later.

EASILY GROWN FLOWERS.
There Is a Wealth to Choose From
and List of Those That
Richly Repay.

The beginner should try to grow q
few varieties of flowers and learn their
habits thoroughly, for in thoroughness
lies success. He should not construct
garden in fancy out of the highly
colored plates in a seed catalogue and
expect to produce it in reality. But
he should choose his plants with re-
gard to the place he will grow them
and study their needs carefully.
There is a wealth to choose from.
For early spring flowers, for instance,
there are the bulbs of tulips, jonquils,
narcissi, hyacinths, crocuses, snow
drops and squills. 1t is best to plant
them in the fall; then as soon as
spring begins they begin to bloom,
and produce a surprising amount of
color. The crocuses, snowdrops and
squills may be planted in the lawn,
and moved down, for they flower very
early, and will continue to bloom for
several years. Jonquils and narcissi
may also be left in shrubbery, or in
grass, where they are not cut, and they
will bloom many years. The bulbs
may also be planted in the early spring
any dealer will tell how.
Sweet peas are deservedly popular,
because of their ease of culture, profu-
sion of bloom, dainty colors and de-
lightful fragrance. Plant them in any
good garden soil, fertilize well with
rich COW manure, in rows preferably
running east and west. Keep the flow
ers well picked each day to prevent
seed pods forming, for, like pansies,
the vitality of the plant is impaired
by the production of seeds. The seed
should be planted very early in the
spring, in trenches three or four
inches deep, being covered over lit
tie at first and the trenches gradually
filled as the plants grow.
Few persons are acquainted with
the merits of the gaillardia, or blanket
flower which is hardy perennial and
blooms in the summer in great pro-
fusion. 1t is about foot high and
has good stems for cutting. For an
old-fashioned garden the new hybrids
of French marigolds and zinnias,
larkspur and fringed petunias are eX-
ceedingly beautiful and furnish a
wealth of bloom for cutting.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.
