fed, the little one will find his force of habit so strong that from time to time he will pick up and destroy few edibles. However, if the superin tendent has entered into the life of this unfortunate youth, the boy will, without probing confess this fault. Punishment is not a, remedy on such an occasion. The good superintendent will try Suggestive therapeuticsp and in short, the habit sis overcome and honesty overcomes the evil tendency. Because youthful character is merely a bundle of habits.
 A negro reforma tory is necessarily expensive, because not only must shoes and clothing be given these unfor- tunates, but in their heathenism it is difficult to reach tn em, unless they are well fed This is no wonder, when we know that cheerful disposition, even among our highly civilized depends greatly upon the variety as we'll as the quantity of the food supply. Agri- culture should be the chief industry. We are naturally children of the soil and here is but little competition while the trades unions will give us no trouble. The Negro Reformatory as sociation of Alabama, an incorporated body, is the result of the honorable Judge Feagin's talks with the colored ministers of Birmingham. They have purchased at Turkey Creek, near Mt. Pinson, S2 acres of mountain land well located f>r tn e purpose. A small ouse on it will undergo repairs at once and in 10 days from now this association which has for five years been looking after our wayward youth by sending them to the Daily farm near Tusca- loosa and otherwise providing homes for them will open their own home. We wish so much to interest the superior race in this move, which means not only saving the outcasts of our race from pulling us down, 1ut this element are those who prove menace to our white people and keep a problem before us.
 Our present needs are: A proper house for operation; mule team farming implements; clothing, etc. Sec ond-hand articles will be very service able to us. This is indeed a cry from Macedonia-Come help us save our un- fortunate youth. I am, with greatest respect,

Home of Tokay Grapes.

"The greatest grape producing region in the world is the title claimed by San Joaquin county, California. The aver age yield in France is 2.7 tons to the acre. The average for California Is two tons an acre, while that for San Joaquin county is four tons an acre. Lodi is the center of this district, shipping last year grapes to the value of $1,500,0O0 As only two-thirds of the Lodi vineyards are now in bearing, it is declared that their yield will soon reach six tons an acre, almost three times that of any other region in the world. The Flame Tokay is the great Lodi grape. In September last year the town held Tokay carnival, lasting three days, the whole town being decorat- ed with vines and grapes and the streets lined with booths where every step of the history of the grape, from making a cutting of vine to loading and icing cars. was illustrated by the actual work.

Lemon Suueezers.

We all know people whose particular occupation seems to be to squeeze the sour out of everything. They never see anything sweet. Everything is bit ter to them.
 They cannot enjoy a friend because of his faults. His mistakes and weak nesses loom up so large that they call not appreciate the good in hfm. They cannot see the man God intended, per feet and immortal; they see only the deformed diseased, crippled, handi- capped man who, in their opinion, vii, never come to any good.
 Nor do they see the world that God made. The beauty that looks out of the landscape from the trees that rustic in the wind. that is wrapped in the flower is lost to them. They only see the floods, the fire. the earthquakes. the lightnings, the wrecks which de- stroy. They are blind to beauty. 1t Is all covered up in the ugly, the for bidding. They do not hear the iu- finite harmonies that entrance the ear that Is in tune with the infinite. This is all lost to them in the discord of their thoughts
