Not few of the cartoons of the day are more vulgarly grotesque than they are pointed with ideas or wit. The high class cartoon Is a work of art, endeavor to impress his pictures with the touch of art and keep them within their limits of legitimate criticism Few public men object to being cartooned in a good-humored way, or even with severity, If it be within proper bounds, for such kind of criticism is regarded as a tribute to their prominence.

V published In one of the cur

 There used to be an old precept: Read everything you do read thorough ly from cover to cover. That is Q dangerous precept. There are scarcely few score of books in the world that are worth reading in that thorough minute way. There are some, and they are the great classics in literature. For most literature we need these epitomes. We had a great discussion at one time, in scientific society to which l be- longed, as to whether it was not the bounden duty of every man who wrote a book to append to 1t, in the com pass of a page, a summary, so that wanted to read 1t might discover wheth- CT it was really worth their while to read The scholar today rarely reads book. He glances through the index and finds the characteristic passages. There is a new sense needed that will guide the reader to just that impor- tant part of a book that he really wants, because to ignore the second best Is today almost a matter of intel lectual life and death.

Schools for Farmers

Schools for Farmers
 Among the farmers of Alabama the work of the summer institute at Au- burn increases in interest and value every year. The methods taught are both practical and scientific. In fact these terms are rapidly becoming syn onymous in this enlightened age.
 The age of skepticism among farm CTS as to the value of scientific knowl- edge in agricultural pursuits has about passed away and the success of the efforts of Auburn has much to do with this important fact, especially so far as the Alabama farmer is con- cerned.

| fogS so common there arose and shut
us in so thick that we in the boats could
| scarcely see each other. We could hear
| the horns aboard the vessel and could
hear the cries of the men on the berg
| and could answer neither. If we ven
| tured too near the berg we should be
dashed In pieces and If we left the sound
of the mems voices we might not find
| them again. One old fisherman, used to
| the ways of the trade, said we had better
go aboard while we could or all hands
| would be lost If the usual weather cama
up, and so it was decided to make for
| the vessel, as we could hear her horns
plainly. AS our oars sounded in the
row locks the men on the berg must have
i heard the sound and frantically called
to us, for we heard them, but were re-
assured by the old man that they would
be safe till the fog rose, and we pulled
on and gained the ship My dad was wild

hurting the old sailor. We could not
hope to find the berg them, but lay to
around all nigl. sounding the horns,
hoping to give the men notice that we
We're near. In the morning watch the fog
rose and we saw our berg some three
miles to leeward and got our men, who
suffered more from dread of what might
happen than from the exposure of the
night We got no more Ice from that
berg, but did get grand catch of fish.
Danger of Tumbling Bergs
When erosion from the wash of the sea
and the suns rays causes the center of
gravity to change, the berg will tumble
till 1t is again adjusted in it's displace-
ment of water, and this is a great danger
to ship in it's vicinity, for not only is
there a chance of being lifted bodily out
of the water. but the sudden sea created
would turn any vessel turtle and maybe
swamp her.
In the spring of 1902 the Halifax lumber
dhroger Swallow, a barkentine loaded
with deals and bound to Liverpool, was
off the banks and forging ahead under
short sail to steady her in a very heavy
beam sea that threatened to take her
deck load, Whether it was because OF
carelessness or because her captain felt
he could keep away from berg will
never be known, but when a great berg
was sighted on her lee bow he made no
effort to avoid it other than to shape a
course to leeward of 1t. and so pass 1t.
ut proved to be a field of ice two miles in
area and over 800 feet high in some
places. The great swell had made havoc
on the weather side of the berg and when
the Swallow got abreast of 1t she found
herself becalmed; not capful of wind
blowing, and the sea moderately smooth.
The undertow of the berg drew the ship,
helpless, toward the great walls of ice,
and from a position which the master
deemed secure five minutes before she
was in imminent danger Of being dashed

the wild cattle as they plunged and
slipped on ;ho wet decks boded harm to
anything they met. and they gored each
ether with a ferocity born of fear The
believing and snorting of the imprisoned
beasts was terrific, and the fact that
tie steam was quickly shut off near the
boilers alone saved us to tell the tale.
Ore by one we worked out to the matches
pnd were pulled on deck in halt dead
condition. A sleeve joint had burst in the
main steam pipe and wrought the havoc
1t was night before the living cattle were
placed again and the dead ones dumped
overheard.
Battle of the Sharks
We had scarcely got things in order and
had just dumped the last carcass over
board when the sea became alive all
about us with sharks. They tore the
cercasses till the blood covered the water
ard then they tore each other. The shark
is swift as flash in the water, and we
had a chance to see the fasity OF
theory so generally believed that shark
must turn on its back to bite. These
sharks, scores in number and averaging
tep feet in length, darted at each other
much as dogs would do and bit into
ard shook each other just as terrier
would shake a rat They were shooting
all around the ship like streaks of light,
their presence easily followed in the
phosphorescent water. and the battle con-
tiuued till the last remnant of a carcass
was gone, when they withdrew as swift
ly as they came. We reasoned they had
got the bodies of our shipmates and had
collected in large numbers to fight over
Them, and when the beeves were thrown
over they became frantic for blood. Old
whalrs say that when they are cutting
in a whale the sharks crowd about to get
the carcass and when one of the men
with blubber spade cuts shark so he
blceds the others make short work of
him, and after that sight l can believe it.
We were four days after that in which
we did not make fifty miles of distance,
and were cheered the fifth day by the
spproach of the Magellan. another cat
tie ship on the same voyage for the same
owners, which took us in tow and landed
US without further mishap.
Imprisoned on Iceberg
When 1 was kid of a boy my father
owned a fishing schooner in Province
town on the cape in Massachusetts, and
I made many trips with him. We were
bound for Chaleur bay and left short
of ice, expecting to find berg and get
all we wanted. This was a common
practice then, but since the fishing laws
have been changed this practice is
dropped. In due time we made the Mag
oalen islands and found ice all about
us. We got under the lee of a large
berg and landed six men with saws and
axes and they would cut a chunk and
roll it down to the boat We were busy
at this work when one of the sudden

ITS ORIGIN AND USE.

to stigmatize 100000 intelligent people
who now continue to use Yiddish as their
mother tongue, as ignorant analphabets,
and to condemn a language spoken by so
many millions of intelligent Jews. 1t is
true that the Jews in the various coun-
tries of their dispersion adopt the Ian
gllage of their felow-citizens just as they
submit to the laws of their respective
countries. But they are most loyal to
their king and country without betraying
their faith, and cultivate the language
of that country without denying their
own nationality. The German, for in
stance, who becomes a citizen of a for
egn country, will no doubt adopt its
language and conscientiousy y carry out
all his duties as Il subject of the same
country. but he will still continue to con-
slider his mother tongue as his national
language, will teach it his children, and
continue to use it with some affection
within his home The Poles, to quote
another example. are loyal and even
devoted citizens of the Austrian en-
pire: a Pole has for many years occu-
pied the most important position of a
Minister of Foreign Affairs. a Pole was
for some time Prime Minister, and an
other member of that nation president
of the lower house Of parliament and
yet none of them ever denied his nation
ality or his national language. The
Poles in Russia speak Russian their Ian
guage in public schools there is Russian,
but within their homes they never cease
to speak their mother tongue, Polish,
with the affection of a suppressed pas
sion. And the mother tongue OF the
millions of Russian and Polish Jews is
undoubtedly Yiddish-has been Yiddish
for many centuries. | purposely quoted
