The Cruelty OF Thoughilessness.

Most of the cruelty Of the world Is
thoughtless cruelty. Very few people
would intentionally add to another 6
load or make his burden in life heavi-
er or his path rcugher. Most of the
great heart wounds are inflicted BY
thoughtless thrusts, flung out often in
a moment of anger, when perhaps we
were too proud to apologize or to try
To heal the grevious wounds we had
made.
Can anything be more cruel than to
discourage soul who is struggling to
do the best he can, to throw stumbling
blocks in the path of those who are
trying to get on in the world against
great odds?
No life is Just the same after you
have once touched it. Will you leave
ray of hope or one of despair, a fash
of light or somber cloud across some
dark life each day? Will you BY
thoughtless cruelty deepen the shadow
which hangs over the lite, or will you
by kindness dispel ii altogether No
matter how you feel or what is dis.
turbing your peace of mind, never al
low yourself to send out a discourag-
ing, cruel or an unkind word or
thought.-Success Magazine,

About the Eyes.

A well-known physician has advis-
ed the eyes 10 be bathed freely with
cold water up to 40 years of age; after
that with water as hot as it can be
borne.
If the eyes are inclined to be weak
or infamed bathing them morning and
evening with a weak solution Of borac.
ic acid or salt water is helpful. This
can be most conveniently applied with
an eye cup. If one eye is infamed
more than the other always rinse the
cup thoroughly before using on the
stronger one. In no case use the same
liquid in both, as is often done. 1t is
little more trouble to pour but a small
quantity in the cup at once.
When the eyes are stuck fast in the
morning do not try to force them
apart. but mop them with absorbent
cotton wet in boiling water, in which
little witch hazel or boracic acid has
been dissolved.

A cup of coffee given by one WOm-
an to another in a Boston railroad
station years ago has been rewarded
by gift of $4,000. Mrs. B. Lilley, a
wealthy New York woman, is the
benefactress. The good Samaritan
was Mrs. Harvey Bartlett, of Wellings.
ley, Mass. Mrs Bartlett was in the
Kneeland street station of the Old
Colony Railroad, when an elderly
woman, total stranger to her, at
tracted her attention. The latter ap-
peared to be i'll. Mrs. Bartlett quick
ly slipped out to the lunchrOOm and
got cup of hot coffee. The woman
she aided did not forget her. On the
following Christmas she sent Mrs.
Bartlett pretty gifts and since then
has remembered her with many pres
ents. A climax to her gratitude was
reached the other day when she sent
Mrs. Bartlett $4,000 in good paying
stocks in New York mandatory,
and gave her the option of disposiug
of the shares at their cash value or
keeping them for the 8 per cent div
idends they will pay.

Here's a pretty good eel story from
Hagerstown, Md: One Of the largest
cells caught in years in this county was
taken by Jefferson Clark, colored, near
Hagerstown,from the stream at Kline's
Mills, Benevola, by hook and line.
The eel measured 6 feet inch in
length and nearly 10 inches in cir
conference at the thickest part. The
eel wrapped itself in its struggles
about Clark's knees and upset him.
Thrice was Clark turned over in this
manner by the eel before he got ashore.
AS he dragged his catch over the land
it again wrapped itself about his ank.
les and threw him twice.

Dear Sir: In their replies to my
letter of July 3lst, 1908, on the
subject of deversifcaiion of South
ern agriculture and industries, some
of the editors to whom it was sent
asked me to write to them from
time to time on matters Of interest
to the people Of our section This
has led me to take the liberty OF
addressing you on a topic Of impor-
lance to all our people and especial
Iy to the farmers Of the South.
If'the farm is to be profitable it
must not merely produce abundant
crops, but its products must bee put
where they can be sold BY what
ever means Of transportation they
may ultimately be- carried be-
fore they reach the final consumer,
our farm products move primarily

time and in the wear and tear of
his vehicles and teams. The con-
struction Of good roads leading from
a market town has practically the
same effect as bringing the farms
nearer to the town. 1t extends by
several miles in every direction the
area of territory In which farmers
can possibly engage IN market gard
ening and dairying That this IS
true has been effectively demon
strated in those localities in the
Southern States and in other sec
tons of the country where road inn
pr0vements have been carried out
intelligenily and Systematically.
The cost to the farmer of hauling
his products over poor roads is not
always appreciated, for the reason
that il is rare that farmer pays
for having his hauling done The
United States Department of Agri-
culture has made an investigation
OF this matter, however, and the
results show the cost for cotton, for
instance, To be on an average haul
of 1S.S miles. That road improve
ment would materially reduce this
cost is shown by the following
