Judas 10 q New Light.

A prominent professor of phil
osophy in one of the Western uni
yersities gives a new Interpretation
of the character of Judas Iscariot.
Judas was the treasurer for Jesus
and the Apostles and very often
was very hard pressed for funds.
The only thought in Judas mind
when he agreed TO betray Jesus
into the hands OF his enemies was
that this was an excellent plan tC
Get some much-needed money,
Having seen Jesus escape from
his enemies before, Judas thought
that he would have no trouble il
getting away again.
The proof that Judas was not a
heart a mean man is shown by hi
subsequent acts. He did not taxi
this money and by shrewd invest
ments and questionable deals, &C
cumulste a hundred million dol
lars, build a magifcent summeI
home on the Mount of Olives ant
Dut a private yatch on the sea O
Galilee. Instead of doing this
when be sees the result of his act
he returns the money and kill

The story from the foothills of the AlIeghennies, of the three sis. ters who rejoice in the names of "Verbina" ," "Scapina, ;" and "Ker- osina, sweetness, clean in e s s and light, all in one family-is now matched by a happening from Central Park itself.

REMARKABLE CHERRY TREE

Wilson Coghill, who resides two miles southwest of Rogers, has remarkable cherry tree. It measures four feet in circumfer- ence, Is 50 years old and has been bearing fruit over 45 years. It is what is known as a May cherry and seldom fails to bear. This year Mr. Coghill gathered twelve crates from the old tree and sold them at S1.75 per crate. The limbs of the tree are very large and extremely long, and in order to gather all the fruit this year a large platform was built in the branches of the tree, which aided the gatherers in reaching the fruit.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS

Between eight ninths and nine tenths of the population of the South is rural and agricultural The great masses of the psople of the South, therefore, are depend ent upon the rural schools for education. The rural schools, then, are the strategic points in the edu cational system of the Southern States. Farming is still the great est institution of the South. The preservation and improvement of its greatest industry and its great est institution depend upon the improvement of these rural schools. Because of the sparse population, the large territory, the bad roads, the geographical bearings, the small amount of tax able property, and the small school fund, these rural public schools are the most poorly equip ped and the most inefficient pub lie school in the South Unless they eau be made equal to the best public schools of the town and cities, and adapted to educat- ing farmers children for farm life rather than away from farm life, many of the best people of the country will continue to leave the farm, and the disastrous drain upon the best blood Of the eoaH try will be kept up until there may be left there only the poor. est peasant population, too ignor- ant to know the value and bless
 ing of an education and too indlf-
 ferent to care to secure 1t for then offspring.

Mrs. III. Wi9hf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is a
kind of dyspepsia that Is caused by
arrangement OF the female organism.
and which, while IL causes n disturb.
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the 70.
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention TO the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, Wy, who was
completely cured by Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspcpsIa
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and 1t caused disturbance In nv
stomach. tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was adj
yised to give Lydia 4. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound n trial, and was happily surprised
to find that 1t acted like fine tonic, and In
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid and In
five weeks was well woman. / have rec
commended 1t TO many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such record
of cures of female troubles, Us has Lydia

FISH IN NEW PLACES.
Wild Ducks Found to Bear Fish Eggs
Ready to Hatch.

A correspondent from Sam wrote In
our June issue expressing his mysti-
fication as to how small fish come to
be in inclosed waters. A naturalist
suggests an explanation. He says:
III the wild ducks, etc., OF Morocco
are similar to those elsewhere there il
no mystery. For some years there
was open-mouthed wonder as to how
perch, Dream and crayfsh could get
into newly cut dams near the Mac
quarie river In New South Wales.
I'm some cases the water had hardly
settled after the rain had filled the
dam than the fish we're observed, and
the farmers started a large theory Of
spontaneous production.
This obtained till Sydney profes
sor CHANGED to pick up wild duck
and found its breast feathers and
webbed feet well dotted with fertile
and almost Matched fish-ova. on which
the spontaneous production theory

Last year, after having my little

EIrst Flower OF sprIno.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop Is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year
as the earliest sign Of spring. Its
pendulous white blossoms, with
"heart-shaped seal Of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops. for they have
been known to thrive In narrow pas
sageways between all houses. Most
dubious plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best
In partial shade.
