 The student who will study into cohdltions of the countries that are continually wrecked by internal tur mol, such as Russia and the Central
 
 American republics, will discover the homes are far from ideal homes. and -lhal There Is an absence of the love or country that should be found in the hearts of its citizens There is a duty that involves upon all. and which is due to the generations growing and to come. The duty is to surround the home with such environments as will make 1t attractive and develop in the growing youth the highest qualities of manhood and womanhood. Where the people are oppressed by monarchy and feudaliSm there is no incentive to develop the highest state of home life. In America where all are upon an equal plane and opportunities are open to every citizen, and where the people are secure in their rights to homes, there is every reason why each one should make the greatest en- deavor to found for himself and his progeny residence place that will be sure from intrusion and be an in centive to higher mental and social development
 Education is all important and no other country in the world offers to all such glorious advantages to re- ceiye enlightenment as does the Unit ed States. It is important that the home be located near good schools. Good schools are generally found where there are good homes and good towns. The quality of citizenship of community can generally be gagged by the standard of it's educational insti- tutions. It is important to the home builder that the town wherein he is To- cated or which he may reside near, be a progressive place.

METE0RIC BODIES.
Mineral Masses That Are Whirlina
Through Space.

The realms of space contain
probably innumerable masses Of
solid iron or other minerals which
are whirling along at an incalcula-
BILE rate. Occasionally these masses
come within a comparatively few
miles of the earth's atmosphere,
and then instead Of crashing to the
ground, carrying devastation in
their paths, they suddenly become
terrifcally hot and melt away into
an incandescent gas. This is what
is going on when we see what is
wrongly called shooting star"
Stars do not shoot. The sudden
flash we see is the result of the fric-
ton between the meteoric body and
our air. The former travels at such
rate as to generate an enormous
heat. Occasionally, however, solid
masses do not become completely
vaporized, bSt fall to the earth with
a great force. A stone fell in 1855
on the coast opposite Zanzibar. 1t
was picked up by some children
herding cattle, and all the tribe
gathered to anoint it with oil and
ornament it with stuffs and pearls
as a true divinity come from heav-
en-. The missionary warnings were
unheeded. One day the warlke
NASSAU attacked the tribe and
slaughtered them, whereupon the
survivors lost faith in their fetch
and sold it to the Munich museum.
At Void Newton, in Yorkshire,
England, a meteorite fell over q
century ago. Scientists were only
then seriously considering such
falls. On Sunday afternoon, Dec.
13, 1875, in misty weather during
thunder and lightning at distance
suddenly there came a noise like an
explosion. A farm servant was SO
near that he was struck by some of
the earth thrown up by the stone
as it plunged into the ground. 1t
excavated a hole more than three
feet in diameter and was found i'm
bedded fast in the chalk rock.
This meteorite is about as big as
a mans head and can be seen in
the British museum. Aerolites pass
with enormous speed across the
vault Of the heavens. AS the aero
lite falls its speed is greatly reduced
as it passes through the ever thick
ening atmospheric strata until final
ly it descends to the earth.

were suitable for the old man, who
was dying and being tenderly nursed
by his consort. Entering the cot

LUDIcR0Us LEGAL LORE.
A Legend Of the Early Jurisprudsnes
Of Michigan.

y Ieoend OF the Early JurtsprooehoS
Of Michigan.
The early history Of the juris-
prudence Of Michigan, if faithfully
chroricled, would furnish forth an
entertainment abounding with the
soul and point of humor. Many Of
these little legends yet float around
the scenes which have given birth
to them and serve sometimes to
give zest to bar dinner or to en-
liven a bar meeting. Among them
is the following:
Judge B., plain and worthy
man, but no lawyer, was once coun-
ty Judge of Oakland under the old
system. A case came on for trial
before him on one occasion in
which the action was founded in
tort, and the plea of the defendant,
which was special, was such as to
give him the affirmative of the is
sue, upon the strength Of which he
claimed the right to open and close
the case. This point was denied by
the counsel for the plaintiff, "who
never in the whole course Of his
practice had heard of such an enor-
nifty as the defendants presuming
to open the case" Authorities were
brought and cited, however, and the
Judge, after mature consideration,
determined that such was the de-
fendant's right and SO pronounced
his decision. After a short pause,
during which the plaintiff was
grumbling his dissatisfaction, the
court told the defendants lawyer
"Your honor" said he, rising, 81
am not quite ready to open the case.
When I get ready I will let the 9TH
er side knoww This opened, if not
the case, at least the eyes and
mouth of the other side, who sprang
to his feet and beloved forth de-
nunciation upon the stupidity of
the Judge, whose absurd decision
had placed him in such dilemma.
'You see, your honor, what you
have done. You have actually
placed the case in the hands of the
defendant. He took possession Of
our oxen, and when we brought an
action to recover them he took pos
session of that also" 81 can't help
it, sir" said the learned judge, with
great sternness. 'The decision is
made, and it is too late to alter it.
The law must take its course. You
must withdraw your action and sue
again"
eff he does, your honor" said the
defendants counsel, 81 shall plead
the pendency Of this action in bar
and beat him." ''Then, Mr.. -"
said the Judge, 'T see no other way
for you but to sit down quietly and
wait till the defendant gets ready
to try this case" The plaintiff took
the judges advice, but the "time
appointed" has never elapsed, and
he is waiting yet. - Philadelphia

Revolution In Baling and Handling OF
the SOuth'S Cotton.

From every interest IN either the
production of the staple, the band
ing, the transportation and the
manufacturing of cotton comes the
demand for q changelu our methods
of ballng, storing and transporting
of cotton.
That change would benefit all
concerned if done along the line of
genuine improvement in our meth
eds no one is prepared to deny.
But the main obstruction in the
way of radical changes in this-as
we'll as all other such chsnges-is
<sshe lack of concert of action among
.. all Concerned. The dual interest Of
fspinners or buyers and sellers must
/, be set aside in order to come to-
fsether in conference for the mutual
benefit of all.
( 1t is beyond doubt to the interest
. of both the producer and the panu-
facture- to have the raw staple leave
first hands at the gins in dense
package, we'll protected from pillage
and CRIME and of standard shape and
uniform weight of covering-provld-
ed, however, that the producers of
the raw staple get his full share of
the reduction in tare In the reduc-
ton of weight of the bagging as
we'll as the freight on the same.
: } doubt about it that the farm
er is made to stand all the loss and
freight incident en- route from the
gin to the mills above the net weight
of the clean lint cotton. The reduc
ton of one half the cubic space in
the warehouses, cars and ships
should cut these charges, that the
farmer pays on the net lint to the
mills, IN half. Likewise, the reduc-
ton in weight of The uniform cover
ing would call for a like reduction
in tare that should rightly 60 to the
credit of the producers of cotton.
In addition to all these benefits
mentioned 10 the farmer, MIR II W
McAllister, president of the Lanca-
shire cotton investigating COM
mittee-now IN this country-men-
tions that in his opinion this closer
packing would relieve the congestion
of railroad and other shipping In the
South by reducing the packing of
cotton to density of 36 lbs to the
cubic foot, or say oue-fourth its pre-
sent size.

fTeSlutnC w u Mooie, W 'n@
Farmers Union, makes the follow
ing suggestions:
Without making any effort to COM
ment on the great necessity of bet
tel and more sensible way Of baling
our cotton for market, | will offer
the following as suggestive of a pro-
bable solution of the difficulty. 1t
is an established fact that anything
that costs much money, no matter
how good, will rot be taken or used
by the average ginner or farmer, SO
| suggest that they only be required
to cut down the length of the bale
in the common press by lining each
end down to thirty six inches. This
can be easily done and not expensive.
The block CAN be cut off to pass up
this narrower box without interfer-
ing with the machinery in any way.
The bale then would be about 36x3O
Sc and weigh 400 pounds. The need
of this is to bring it to the capacity
of another press that would be built
on the plan of the one used to ex-
press the oil from seed and while
slow in operation would be sufficient
output for requirements. This press
would be able to compress the bale
into a very compact bale Of about 80
inches loag, Oinches in width and
70 inches thick, aud by double deck.
ing these short bales one hundred
could be loaded in the ordinary car.
which is just about four times as
much as you can ship now, aud this
press would be so cheap as to be in
reach of every small station aud
warehouse; SO all cotton would start
on its journey from the drst ship
ping station in frst-class condition
and would save to the farmer thous.
aads of dollars in freight, for, bear
in mind, he pays the freight in all
cases, no matter who handles the
cash. 1t is taken off the prices to him.
Then it would relieve the railroad OF
much of tie trouble ia Car shortage
as the capacity of cars would be four
times as much as at present and the
work of COMPRISING could be done
for probably twenty cents per bale
The rate of freight would be cut in
half, aud cotton would not have to
ship hundreds of miles to find an ex.
pensise standard compress.
This is a matter that demsads
immediate action. Is is the light
of folly to continue on and on in
these old ruts just because our grand
fathers did, and lose what we pro
duce. 1t is senseless stupidity fol
the farmers of the South to GO on
and neglect these needed reforms
and it is hoped by all thinking men
that the Farmers Union will be the
means of causing them to think, and
not only to think. but acl.
