That is a stale and antiquated theo- logical conception which views state of true happiness as only possible be- yond the grave. We question if when the light of the resurrection morn breaks upon the eyes of the redeemed of earth they will view skies bluer, flowers more fragrant or lovely, grass of more satisfying tint or trees more stately than have been provided by the Creator to cheer us !n our earthly pilgrimage. Heaven may be here and now If we but realize that it depends upon a condition of the human heart in which kindness. helpfuiness and love abound,

There would seem to be considerable justice in the proposal of the granger of central state who holds that lnas- much as owners of automobiles share equally with the farmer in the benefit of good highways they should be asked to pay portion of the tax levied to keep the road in repair.

Perhaps there is no more charming instance of gratitude than that to be observed in the return which we re- ceive from the flowers to which we de- vote our care. A bed or roses in our yard furnishes a daily thank offering of beauty and fragrance, and though its messengers are mute they teach a helpful lesson of purity and unselish- ness.

A section farm within few miles of the writer's home has an amount of Quack grass growing on it that would cover forty acres if 1t were collected on one patch. The passerby does not need to be told that this deplorable state of affairs Is the natural out growth of long years of neglect and slipshod farming encouraged by year to year system of renting. Under this the landlord squeezes the renter, the renter skins the landlord, with the re- suit that there is a very real agricul- tural devil to pay in the shape of be- fouled land and depleted soil fertility.

A friend of the writer reports excel lent results In ridding his fields of weed pests by blowing them in Au- gust. In case of most of the annuals this means the turning of the weeds under before the crop of seed is ma tured. while the batch that usually sprout from the plowed surface are in fine shape to get nabbed by the frost. Our friend further says that he gets even better results from what manure he may have to haul out by putting 1t on the land after it Is plow- ed with manure spreader and disking 1t In In the spring>tha by putting 1t on the stubble and blowing under later In the fall or the next spring.

There Is probably no other agricul- tural or pastoral occupation that ap- breaches in point of monotony and a dead level of weariness that of sheep herding. There are instances where these men who have charge of big herds of sheep in the western states have gone crazy or committed suicide. driven to do so by sheer desperation of lonesomeness. All kinds of devices are tried to vary the monotony of the herder's life-anything that will tend to make hi.a forget the herd in his charge and give him a change. It Is under such circumstances that one comes to prize human companionship, and even the presence of an intelligent dog is highly valued.
 Cement, which is today coming into 50 general use for a variety of pur- poses, is known to have been used by the Chaldeans, Egyptians. Greeks and Romans. its most ancient form being simply burned limestone, used much as lime Is used today. The Romans were the first to add clay to lime for the purpose of making a cement that would harden under water. The most important discovery in the manufac- tNre of cement during a period of twenty centuries was made early in the eighteenth century, when 1t was discovered that the quality of hydraul- ic cement depends upon the amount of clay in the limestone. The Portland cement of today was given its name by an Englishman who patented a process of burning lime and clay and gave the name because of the resem- blance of the product to the Portland limestone.

When once the start has been made 1t Is just as easy to raise thoroughbred as dunghill or scrub fowls, while the satisfaction which comes from the rais- ing of a flock of uniform color and size is no mean consideration. The thor oughbred fowls will usually lay as well as the scrubs and as rule bring a better price when put on the market, both on account of size and appearance. We know of nearby farm which 1t Is pleasure to pass by, simply because there are raised there each year from , 150 to 250 full blooded light Brahmas. The statement made would be as true of any other variety of chickens.
 While it occupies relatively a very humble place in the economy of nature, there is probably no one of her crea- lures that fulfills a more useful mis- sion or in a greater measure earns his way than the common toad. That he performs a great service for the farm er and gardener Is shown from the fol lowing daily bill of fare: Caterpillars. rutworms, beetles, SOW bugs, snails. Wlt"OIhS Aotato bugs, all Of which damage the farmers crops to serious degree. One who has made close study of the matter found iD the stomach of one toad seventy seven thousand legged worms, in another thirty tent caterpillars, in third sixty-five gypsy moths and in fourth fifty-five army worms. According to this same ob- server, in ninety days a single toad may destroy 1,160 cutworms. 1860 thousand-legs, 2,100 SOW bugs and 360 weevils. The toad is thus seen to be D benefactor which should be protect ed and befriended in every way possi- ble.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-01-12
Growth of the Hnir.

The hair is not like plants. 1t is
nothing more than unsensible threads
of skin, or, rather, papillae, as they are
called, which grow in their proper
places under the same conditions as
the nails on the finger ends. The hair
papillae do not lie on the surface Of
the skin, but are sunk more or less
deeply into it, more deeply as the hair
is longer, so that long hairs adhere in
q deep sac. The number of these hair
papillae of course varies considerably
with different people, but for each indi-
vidual is constant and Interchangeable
and cannot be increased any more than
can the number of ones finger nails.
The number of hairs depends on the pa
pillae; consequently If there are no pa
pillae there can be no hair. Moreover,
the number of these papillae is con-
slant, so that the idea of increasing
their number by clipping the hair must
be abandoned. The growth Of the
hairs depends rather on the we'll being
of all the papillae, but they are con-
stituent parts Of skin and share its
fate alike in both good and evil days.

kept up steam, there might be an even
more dangerous collision while the en-
CINE was in motion.
Rem turned to thSconductor. There
were but the three on the car. Don't
lose the wirew he shouted as he turned
toward the front He bent over Dor
othy. Hold tight" he cried. Here is
your fast runw And he turned on the
current
the motor gained speed, and then they
were off. Rem knew that he must
reach the station before the special left
or there would be no hope. In another
moment they were running at top
speed, and the car swayed md ratified
as though it would leave the track.
But Rem knew every dangerous spot,
and the car sped along, slowing down
at the curves just enough to hold to the
rails. The gong rang almost constant
ly at the crossings, but there was little
traffic, and they had clear road
through. Once or twice a teamster
pulled up suddenly and swore as the
rush frightened his horses.
Dorothy's eyes blazed with excite
ment as she chung to the seat. She
guessed why the run was being made,
and even her fear for her father did
not spoil her enjoyment of the speed.
She had confidence in Ren.
| AT last they were in the, village and
were speeding up the street. He slowed
up as much as he dared, but he could
hear the painting Of the engine and
knew that the special was already in
the station. There would not be a
long stop, and he gritted his teeth as
| he threw on full power again, for in
the distance he heard the rattle of the
wildcat.
One glance showed him that the en-
CINE Of the special was below the only
siding this side Of the station. There
| was no time TO back and throw open
switch. The engine would be upon the
train before anything sould be done.
| He satisfied himself Of this and made
up his mind quickly. He shut of the
| power ana ground down the brakes,
| stopping in the center OF the track. He
sprang to Dorothy and, catching her up
| in his arms, Jumped from the car and
staggered away from the track.
Another instant and n crash told that
| the wildcat had run into the car He
set the girl down and turned to see.
| The engine had been thrown complete
| ly off the track, and the special was
safe.
In daze he received the congratula-
tons showered upon him until he heard
| the president Of the railroad company
| speaking.
"We are going to put in several troll
ley lines" he was saying, land we
want just such quick witted chap as
yourself as general manager"
He looked ut Dorothy. and Dorothy's
eyes said Eyes" She had known all
| along that he was seeking practical ex-
perience for just such post as this,

First Letter Carriers.

It is not clear that the letter carriers
we're regularly employed before 1853,
when tradition tells us that Benjamin
Franklin, the new postmaster general,
employed them in Philadelphia and
possibly in New York. The earliest ev-
idence we have is of 1852, when the
Philadelphia postmaster advertised
that his "boy" had run away and that
patrons must call for their letters at
the postofiice. The Postal Journal Of
Hugh Finlay. storehouse of sound in
formation, tells us that Boston had no
letter carrier in 1873. OF New York he
says that soon after the arrival OF a
mail the letters are quickly delivered
by runner" which means messenger
or letter carrier
