Sandy Soil.

Sandy soil is very easy to work, and
when the humus is abundant the pro
ductiveaess is not below that of other
soils. Many sandy soils carry good
percentage of clay, though that does
not appear &c the ordinary observ,
er. a soil that has no clay is not soil
but sand. Such is not suitable for
agricultural operations till it has been
modified by the application of clay.
There are many localities where a
slight increase Of the clay content of
the sand soil would greatly increase
its capacity. The clay makes the
sandy soil retentive Of moisture and
also enables it to hold the soluble
plant food SO necessary to the growth
of plants.

The Nations Bread.

That bread is justly entitled to be
called the staff of life" is fully borne
out by Investigations of the United
States department of commerce and
labor. This department made an in
vestigation to determine the amount
spent for food by normal" laborer'S
family. The data obtained from the
11,156 families whose expenses were
studied showed the average amount
spent for food by a family consisting
of husband, wife and five children to
be $329.19 pre- year. 1t is interesting
to note how the so-called normal fam
lily Of the average laborer, which
seems rather above the normal in size,
apportions its money for food and
other necessities. Twenty-nine dollars
and 20 cents is expended for bread,
flour and cereals, and while the cost OF
the bread is small compared with that
If other foods, the amount of nutri-
ments and energy derived from it is
large. The laborer's meat bill is the
largest Of all He spends $1,000 per
year for all kinds of meat, three and
half times as much as for bread.
His butter costs him about as much as
his bread, and sugar half as much,
while about the same sum is spent
for potatoes and vegetables as for
bread. Thirty-eight dollars goes for
milk and eggs. More coffee is used
than tea; about SO is spent for the
one and five dollars for the other. Re
ligion, charity and tobacco claim near
ly equal amounts, while intoxicating
liquors come in for much large"
share. Labor organizations get about
nine dollars per year, while 1913 is
contributed to the support of state and
local governments in the form of
taxes. Sickness and death on the
average claim $20.54. 1t is quite APP
parent says Harry Snyder in Harper'G
Monthly, that bread and -four do not
form a very large item of the food en-
pense of the normal laborer's family,
as only nine per cent. of the cost Of
the food goes for bread and 81 per
cent. for all other food articles.

The Effort of Life.

Charles Erskine Scott Wood voices
his creed of life and the hereafter in
the Pacific Monthly in these words: Il
like to insist again and yet again that
the effort of life is virtue, not vice
(if virtue be the upward flight. That
the decree of life is happiness and
that as one mode of happiness there
IS beauty everywhere-by day and
night, in summer and winter, storm
or sunshine, in desert or mountains,
or on the salt and restless sea. The
earth is married by man, not man by
the earthly life. The earth is kind to
man. 1t is man who is ferocious unto
man. and rayenously covetous. if
heaven be not found in this life, on
this earth, it will never be found any
where He who believes il will be
found here and seeks to realize it IS
no dreamer but the builder of solid
edifice: and he who seeks it in some
vague hereafter, content to submit TO
the tyrannies of this life, in hope of
q reward in another, is the visionary"

The social evil Ct use the term in more

far greater evil in this country than the
drinking habit. 1t is true that the lower
forms of the social evil and intempcrancc
in drinking are allied evils; they go hand
in hand. The social evil, in all its phases,
is such delicate subject to handle that it

One Of the most striking signs Of
this age is the entrance of science into
every department of life. A symbolic
picture Of the twentieth century might
represent the spirit of science stretch
ing her hand out over the temples Of
learning, religion and law. The state
Of Chihuahua, in Mexico, has passed a
sanitary law regulating theaters,
churches and other public buildings
All such buildings must have ample
fire protection, be properly ventilated,
and provide sufficient seats. In the
churches it has been the custom of
worshipers TO sit and kneel on the
floors. This is forbidden by the new
law, which looks to the health of the
people. Old customs are suddenly
sometimes violently, upset by new
knowledge, but there never was an
age more confident of its new knowl-
edge and more competent to produce
the facts than the present age.

PORT ARTHUR RECALLED

The passing of the death sentence upon Gen.

Russian commander who three years ago was
acclaimed around the world the hero OF Port
Arthur" The general, who decorated by
Emperor William of Germany and honored by the
Russian army for his defense of the Port Arthur
fortress has now been tried and found wanting
in courage and capabity by his people.
Even Stoessers former enemies the Japanese
came forward to say that he does not deserve
this treatment at hands of his country, and Soes-
sci himself argued before the courtmartial that
he had justification for his act. In his last words
before the court Gen. Stoessel, broken in health
and fortune. accepted full responsibility for the
