she saw that dear face that never held
aught but kindness and love for her
is it any wonder that she felt herself

that she took with glad heart this love
that was to crown her days?"
When Mrs. Evans ceased speaking
there were tears on all three faces. In

The Wright Brothers, Of Dayton,
whose partially successful experiments

from time to time, have made state

City, which seems to indicate that
the problem of flying" has been at

The public has known that Orville
and Wilbur Wright sold the rights Of
what appeared to be practicable air

the practice flights have been held in
private and no full statement of the
success of the machine has been made
until now. The communication says
that in 1905 the Wright aeroplane, pro-
PEELED by a gasolene engine and carry

ten to twenty-five miles.

With glad all-haiis, and bid each hour to
be
The willing servitor OF thine estate,
Lading thy brave ships with Times richest

II it were MONDAY I might hope to see
! On some far height thy banners floating
free,
And hear the acclaiming voices call thee
great!
But it is nightfall and the stars are out;
Far in the west the crescent moon hangs
low,
And near at hand the lurking shadows

Darkness and silence gather roundabout,
Lethe's black stream is near its overflow,
All, friend, dear friend, why didst thou

How Small Carving is Done.

Thackeray could write the Lords
Prayer on sixpence, which is the
size of a dime, but it is now possible
to write the prayer on surface sc
small that one grain of sand would
hide it completely. Microscopists sell
copies Of the Lords Prayer written
in a circle only the 500th part of all
inch in diameter To read the prayer
it is necessary to use lens magnifyins
500 times. Writing so incredibly small
is accomplished by means of levers six
feet long, These levers are so adjusted
that the motion is gradually lessened
as it travels along them, till, when il
reaches the delicate end, armed with a
minute diamond pen that rests on q
glass surface, it causes the pen to reg
lister on the glass writing so small as
to be invisible.-New Orleans Times

Freshen Up the Buildings.

1t is very important that farmers
should keep their buildings we'll paint
ed. There are several reasons for
this, and probably the most important
one is that paint enables a building
to withstand the ravages Of the
weather much better. Then, again,
take two farms exactly alike in every
way, except the paint on the buildings,
and when it comes to a sale the farm
with buildings not protected with
paint will generally sell at from ten
to fifteen per cent. less than the other.

Salt For Poultry.

Salt is as essential for poultry as for
humans or animals, but it is not wise
to feed it by itself. The better way IS
to use it to season the food whenever
that can be done. The warm mash in
the winter, whether fed morning or
night. gives one an opportunity to sup.
ply several condiments which could not
be so readily given to the fowls in any
other way.-Indianapolis News.

PHIL LosoPHY OF ALPHoNSE KARR
A "Bouquet of Thoughts" Gathered BY
Le Figaro.

A "Bouauet of Thoughts Gathered by
Le Figaro.
LIE Figaro in a recent issue, prints
a .bouquet of thoughts taken from
the works of the late Alphonse Karr,
in whose memory a monument. paid
for by popular subscription, was un-
| yelled last month in Paris. 4 number
| of the epigrams follow:
Happiness is composed of the misfor-
| tunes we avoid.
To know that one knows what he
knows. and to know that one does not
know what be does not know, that is
| wisdom.
have read somewhere: The size of
statues grows less as we depart; that
of men as we approach.
It is remarked that the height of q
woman's beauty lasts from fifteen to
thirty years, that is to say that their
| influence ceases the moment they be-
come reasonable.
Old men, like women and children,
ought not to abuse the privilege Of
their feebleness.
Men make the laws, women break
them.
1t is better to make woman blush
than to make her laugh.
Each woman feels herself robbed Of
all love which one has for another.
The Gauls, our ancestors, chose the
trunk of a tree, in forest and taking
| there all that they owned of value, the
spoils of their enemies, the robes of
sena tors, the gold rings Of the Roman
knights, they made a divinity which
they adored under the name Of Irmin-
sui. 1t is thus that we have made
woman and love.
The wit to speak: who has it not?
| That is common. But what ability we
should seek is the wit to keep silent.
Not to reverence old age is to de-
stroy the house where one should
sleep at night.
I met one day at the Luxembourg
the academician, Tersot. He was then
eighty-four years old. my friend"
said be to me. "it is time that I think
of my future"
We travel less from curiosity con-
cerning the things we may see than
| from WEAKNESS of the things we leave
! behind.
Man hurries to the goal which is the
end.
Jean Alphonse Karr was born In
Paris on the 24th of November, 1908.
The publication of complete edition
of his works was commenced in 1860.

How to Raise Corn.
Continued from Page Two.

make with much less ran if
pushed and fertiIized in the old
way.
The stalks thus raised are very
small, and do not require any
thing like the moisture, even in
proportion to size, that ls neces.
sary for large sappy stalks. They
may, therefore, be left much
thicker in the row. This Is no
new process.
1t has long been custom to
cut back vines In order to increase
the yield and quality Of fruit, and
so long as you do not hold back
your corn it will go, like mine so
long went, to all stalk.
Do not be discouraged by the
locks Of your corn during
the process Of cultivation. 1t will
yield out of all propotion to its
appearance. Large stalks cannot
make large yields, except with
extremely favorable seasons, for
they cannot stand lack of mois-
ture. Early applications Of ma
nure go to make larke stalks,
which you do not want, and the
plant food is thus used up before
the ear, which you do want, is
made. Tall stalks not only will
not produce we'll themselves, but
Will not allow you to make the
pea vines, so necessary to the i'm
provement of land. Corn raised
by this method should never grow
over seven and one half feet high
and the ear should be near to the
ground.
l consider the final application
of nitrate Of soda an essential
point In this ear making process.
1t should always be applied at
last pluwing and unmixed with
other Fertilizers.
am satisfied with one ear to
the stalk, unless prolific variety
is planted, and leave 100 stalks
for every bushel that | expect to
make. ! find the six foot row
easiest to cultivate without inju-
ring the corn. For so bushels to
the acre, | leave 1T 16 inches
apart for Is bushels to the acre
u inches apart, and for 100 bush
els eight inches apart. Corn
should be planted from four to
six inches below the level, and laid
by from four to six inches above.
No hoeing should be necessary, and
middles may be kept clean until
time to break out by using har-
row or by running one shovel
furrOw in center of middle and
bedding on that with one or more
rounds Of turn plow.
| would advise only few acres
tried by this method the first
year, or until you are familiar
with It's application. Especially
is it hard, at first, Ito fully carry
out the stunting process, where a
whole crop is involved, and this
IS the absolutely essential part of
the process.
This method have applied or
seen applied successfully to all
kinds Of land in this section ex-
cept river lands and moist bot
toms, and | am confident it can
be made Of great benefit through
out the entire south.
