Blue STOCKINGS,

About 1871 il was the fashion for
several ladies to gather at evening
assemblies, where they might partici-
pate in conversation with literary and
ingenious men. One of the most emf
nent members of these societies, when
they first commenced, was Mr. Still
ingfleet grandson of the bishop,
whose dress was remarkably grave
with the exception of the blue stock
ings be always wore. His converse
tion was so excellent that his absence
was greatly felt, whereon they would
say that they could do nothing with.
out "Blue-stockings," and thus the
title was established. A French for
eigner translated the words to the
French and called Bas-Bleu a gather
ing of brilliant friends who meet to
talk, giving no thought of dress.

BUDDING PEACHES.
w. 7. Macon, Horticulturst of Can
ada, Tells How Work Is Done.

Budding OF peach trees is best per
formed when there is still sufficient
sap beneath the bark to permit the
latter being easily raised with knife.
On the other hand, if the work is done
when the tree is still growing vigor.
ously the bud is liable to be drowned
out or, in other words, forced out by
reason of too much sap and growth
of the stock. The stock which is to
receive the bud should be at least
three-sighths of an inch in diameter
near the ground. Peaches are usually
budded on stocks which have grown
from the stone the same year. The
lower leaves are rubbed off to height
of five or six inches to enable the bud
der to work more freely. A perpen.

Leaving Little
Children Alone.

There is a lesson in the sad story
from Moselle, printed in these col
umns yesterday.
Four little motherless children were
left alone by their father. who had
business down town. Hundreds of
little ones are left in like manner
every day, and little is thought of it,
But in this particular case the father
returned to find his home in ashes
and two of his babies dead-cremated
alive in the burning building.
Much has been said about the prac-
tice of locking children in doors and
leaving them alone, but in this case
the house was not barred, and the
children persisted because, in their
excitement, they did not find the door.
The lesson is obvious. 1t is danger
Gus to leave little children alone.

That Proposed
Canning Factory.

The movement recently inaugurated
in Hattiesburg for the establishment
of a canning factory is taking form,
and there is every reason to believe
that the new industry will materialize.
1t is a notable fact that most of
the canned fruits and vegetables sold
on the Hattiesburg market are pro-
duced in other states, sold through
wholesalers and jobbers in New Or
leans and other cities and retailed
here at many times the cost of orig
inal production.
The fact is equally well known that
the soil tributary to Hattiesburg is
much better adapted to the growth of
fruits and vegetables than in many
sections where the fruit and vegetable
industry has grown to enormous pro-
portions.
One wholesale grocery house in
Hattiesburg purchased in another
state and sold to the retailers of this
territory last year s25O,OOO worth of
fruits and vegetables, which could just
as easily have been raised at home
1t is the purpose of Hattiesburg bus
mess men now engaged in the organ
ization of a canning factory, to en-
courage and foster the fruit and vege-
table growing industry in this terri
tory, and to ultimately supply the
needs of this territory from the fields
adjacent to the city, thus saving to the
community the many thousands of dol
lars now sent to other cities of the
country and entirely lost from the
channels of local trade.
The effort is certainly worth while
and the News believes that the indus
try will pay handsomely when once
thoroughly established.

Religious Faith
In Politics.

The Florida Times-Union fears that
the intrusion of religion into the do
main of politics in this country will
be emphasized by a national election
this year as well as by the attitude of
some prohibitionists. We should re-
gard this contempt of American pre-
cedents as a calamity independent of
its effect on the fortunes of any party
or any candidate. but we are inter-
ested in knowing upon what grounds
the question of faith is urged against
Mr.. Taft.
In the current Homiletic Review
eleven ministers from different demon.
nations write letters on the subject
and all but three insist that Mr.. Taft's
religious views should not influence
the votes of American citizens. OF
the three who object to see Mr.. Taft
president because he is a Unitarian,
one is a Presbyterian who says I'VE
cannot afford" to elect any man who
denies the Godhead of Christ.
Another is a Methodist who objects
because the election of a president
who is not Christian would be say
ing to the world that we do not believe
in the divinity of Christ" (and so would

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO ME.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
1VA ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
"As l have found Peruna blessing
for severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which suffered from for
number of years, 1 am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as 1 suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up 10 that was usually
troubled with headache, and although
1 tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. 1 was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, L did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged I kept on until was COM
pIeteiy cured in a months time, and [
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet

entertainments yesterday afternoon
and last night. The character of the
entertainments was progressive chat
fing dish parties, and they were given
from $3.50 to 6 in the afternoon and
from to 10 in the evening.
The entertainments were given in
three different homes, at the residence
of Mrs. T. B. Holloman, Mrs. s. l..
Heidelberg and Mrs. T. e. Ross. De-
licious refreshments were served and
there was special music at each home.
Many enjoyed the unique entertain

Business and Brains.

The following terse and timely edito-

Herald is equally applicable to Hat

There never could be a test Of real
ability, never genuine try-out of the
quality of business brains, in the midst
of general prosperity. At time when
everybody succeeds, when mere acct
dent Of position or the force of circum-
stance simply crowds business upon
us, men get credit for ability which

prove "a terrific blow to Christianity. !"
The third is a pastor from New York
who says:
The discovery, colonization and
settlement of the United States
of America, as well as the spirit
of our presidents from Washing
ton to Roosevelt has been decid-
eddy Christian: and though person
ally my predictions would favor
Mr.. Taft, agree with Mr.. Boyer
that voters loyal to our Lord
Jesus Christ in this Christian
land should neither vote for nor
encourage others to vote for a
man as president who rejects the
divinity of Jesus Christ.
Observe that the reasons for OBJ
lection is different in each case and
two suppose that others would make
protests not urged by them. Is it
possible that American voters can be
made to consider the claims of the
heather or of history in the heat of an
election where a president is beating
the gong and a great orator is giving
all opponents little better than they
send? And would these directors
concede orthodoxy to Jefferson and
Franklin or be willing to eliminate
their work from the wealth of our
