Little PHILOSOPHERS.
(By a Woman.)


Whose measures the giving of love
knows not love.
No woman tells all of her heart;
and no wise man all of his ambition.
Goodness is the work of lifetime;
but greatness may be the largess of

OF all good things that might be
said of me when life is done I would
rather it were truthfully said: She
was a good mother.
To my friend: What is mine may
! share with you gladly; what is
yours may l respect; what is mutual
ly ours may hold sacred.
She that is necklaced with chill
dren's arms has no need of Jewels:
she upon whose breast baby lies has
no need of further conquest; she
whom love immantles has no need
for vicher covering.

and discoursed of many things. |

Early next week Mr. John r

quantity OF okra chaf. This will be-
the beginning Of an experiment OF
Mr.. Moore's. and If it works out il
may mean fortune. If it should
fall through the loss will be practi
cally nothing.
Mr. Moore is of the opinion thai
okra can be used in the manufacture
Of paper as easily as wood. In both
cases the material must be reduced tc
pulp at the paper factory. The
question is can okra be grown cheaI
enough to make it successful com.
petitor with wood?
There is still another step lackins
IN the solution of the problem, and
that is machine that will separate
the okra fibre from the stalk. Mr.
Moore has now machine in his pos
session that he thinks will do tni.
work. but before he goes any deeper
into the experiment he will SEND chs
chaff TO Virginia and await results
In that State another step in the ex
pertinent will be taken. II oKrR il

Moore intends TO push it Forward.
