MEN ARE TRUER FRIENDS THAN WOMEN.
By Juliet V. Strauss.

q It is true, friendships are SO seldom
disinterested that it is hard for those
who never had a real one to believe
that they exist, but there is a genuine
affection sometimes, a tie of natural
affinity, that it is pity to have
broken.
The saddest thing IN life is to have
outgrown a love; the next is to have
outgrown a friendship. We may bury
our friends out of sight. and long
years of grief will not cure the

Government Burn, Ashes,

The burning of ashes mixed with

of Columbia has so far been so sue
cessful that it is hoped a saving of
$4,000 year may be effected in the
one Item OF ash collection alone.
The experiments are being made in
the great furnaces of the government
printing office, and if it is finally dem
onstrated that the process produces the
results claimed for 1t, the ashes from
private residences, which are now
thrown away, will be utilized in tie
heating plants of the district govern
ment institutions. 1t Is altogether like
~ that federal government departments
everywhere will follow the example of
the local government in utilizing the
ashes now thrown away.
Another feature which appeals
strongly to the Washington authorities
is almost entire absence of smoke from
furnaces in which coal is burned by the
new process.

Change in Cotton Growing

Flat cultivation of cotton, as intro
duced by the Arkansas experiment sta
ton, is finding favor with the lint
growers of that State over the old
method of hill tillage the advantage
being in the saving of labor and econ
omy of seed and, it is declared, a bet
ter yield.
Under old practice, says the South
west Magazine, the soil was thrown I'D
in furrow and the seed sown con-
tinuously In dRll. Later the plants
were thinned to a single stand by hoe
ing the entire surface of the cotton
row and cutting away nineteen Of
every twenty stalks
Flat cultivation consists of thorough
ly preparing the seed bed and plant
ing the cotton In checks IS to "a inches
apart In drill, to enable cultivation
in both directions-a method that will
naturally lessen the work of a chopper
and save greater part of the seed.

ZOay0aSt1.iaM Beliefs.

The Zoroastrian faith acknowledges
Ormazd, >Ahura Mazda, Lord Wis
DOM" as the supreme god, with six
archangels, Amesha Spenta, and a
company of angels, Yazata, about him
to rule and guide the world The in
fernal host of fiends and archfends
who war against heaven and strive to
destroy the future life Of man is led by
Anra Mainyu, the evil spirit. In dis
cussing with these Zoroastrians' the
subject of the origin of evil | found
that they look upon the supreme being,
Ahura Mazda, as comprising within
himself the two powers of good and
evil-namely, Spenta Mainyu, the holy
spirit and Anra Mainyu, the evil spir-
it. This is similar to the mOnOtheistic
view held by the Parsis of India in
opposition to the statement frequently
made that ZoroastrianismkAs pure dual
ism. They believe also in the resurrec-
ton of the dead, which their faith has
taught them since early ti1aes, and this
doctrine is connected with the belief
that there will come a saviour Or mes
siah, called the SaOshy.lt.--A. V. VIII

Blind From Birth.

Bridgman, a woman of much less in

nothing left, even as a memory. With
her taste and smell were very feeble,
so that communication with the world
was. indeed, through a narrow pas
sage. Her constituencies to vibration
was so fine that without any trace Of
the sense of hearing she was aware OF
the tOlling of a bell. But her biOgra-
pher, giving us in detail the record of
the slow steps of her education, tells
us little of what idea she was able to

want to know Of the born blind He
says that a man blind from birth to
