MISS ELIZA Nc. ROBBFEES ~ T

After all, financial embarrassment,
according to the New Thought con-
cepts, may be only state of mind, rath
er than an actual condition.
If man finds himself alone in a
strange city and has not penny in
his pocket, he will only keep his purse
empty by becoming paralyzed by fear
and anxiety for the morrow.
When observes Mrs. Sears in the
Key, we teach ourselves to look into
an empty purse with the same feeling
of opulence that we should have if we
saw $1,000 in it, then we have laid
hold of that energy which creates, and
no power on earth could prevail to
keep that purse empty. 1t is not in
the doing, but in the being opulent
that we get the power. We must
know how to get back of the things
created-dollars, nickels, dimes-into
the energy that creates, and this rec
ignition he'd steadfastly brings life
into relation with higher lines of at
traction"
Followers of other cults may won
der why all do not have wealth and
why it is so hard to get Into union"
with the superintendent supply. Mr..
Sears tells plainly how to do it.
Simply" she writes, get the in
terror attitude of seeing, feeling and
being opu,ent. The first step toward
the supply Of material things is abso-
lutte recOenitiOn We must fill our
whole field of consciousness with the
thought image of plenty. There is
abundance of supply everywhere; all
any one has to do is to look with eyes
| that see and he cannot escape the
truth of the divine opulence."
1t is the theory of New Thought
that once the physical demand for
money IS lost from a life it goes on
more rapidly in it's search for free
| dom. Sometimes the life becomes so
free that it gees on a toboggan slide.
The Old Thought persons believed
that in many lives too much money
meant the pathway to damnation. Not

AN ARTISTS RECOGNITION.

Steichen Has Helped to Give lndiVid-
ual Photographic Print Unique Place.
While waiting for recognition,
Steichen had established himself in a
little room at POI Fifth avenue, which
is now one of the galleries of the
"Photo-Secession," says February
Century. The turn of his fortune
came with the sale of two or three
of his oil paintings, and little later
with an exhibition at the Glaenzer
galleries on Fifth avenue, which prov
ed an artistic success, and brought
him to the notice of a very discern
ing class of picture-lovers.
The following year he gave two ex-
hibitions-one of his paintings and
another of his prints. Of the former,
seventeen out of twenty-five found
purchasers, and of the latter some so
per cent of the total exhibits. The
price paid for the individual prints
varied from $50 to $3.50, which, con-
sidering the number that were sold,
represented the largest amount yet
paid for Photographic pictures. But
people had begun to regard them in
the spirit of the connoisseur, estimat-
ing them on their own merits, accord.
ing to their technical qualities and ca.
pacity to satisfy the esthetic sense.
They had got away from the idea of
photographs that are turned out me-
chemically by the dozen, and had
learned to scrutinize the individual
print in etching or engraving, and to
discover that it possessed certain
qualities that gave it uniqueness.

WIND, JEST WIND.

A certain Liverpool teacher, in en-
deavoring to explain to his class what
compressed air was, brought his BIZ
cycle into the room and leaned it up
against the wall.
Now" he remarked, under the
outer covering of that back wheel
there is a hidden force. What is ito"
'Tnjyrubber,'' said a smart youth.
FNo. Try again"
The boy tried again, as did nearly
every member of the class, but with
out success.
At length one Of the youngsters,
who had been making close inspec
ton OF the machine, turned on the
teacher with beaming face.
Il have it, he exclaimed. Its wind
jest wind"
After commencing the youngster
the teacher asked how he discovered
the hidden force"
why" was the astounding reply,
1--WE jest stuck my knife in it to see!"
Which was the absolute fact, as the
discounted teacher discovered to his
cost.

acters of a certain type should be
borne in mind and deviations from
this type in the progeny should be
weeded out.
The unity of the individual is also
an important factor in plant-breeding
If, for instance, one is attempting to
produce a seedless fruit, it is i'm
portant that he discover plant which
shows a tendency to produce seedless-
ness throughout the entire individual.
1t would not be the correct policy for
a breeder to select simply a single
fruit which might accidentally be near
ly seedless. He should examine
large number of fruits of different in
dividual plants, and find plant on
which he can discover general ten
dency toward seedlessness, showing
in all of the fruits produced. By Sc
lecting seeds from such individuals he
may be able to find in time one such
individual that would transmit to its
progeny this tendency to produce few
seeds.

He Had Broken Something.

Mrs. Wilson had young Japanese
servant who had habit of trying to
conceal from his mistress any break
age Of dishes of which he CHANGED to
be guilty. The good lady explained
that it was wicked to deceive, and di-
rected the Japanese to tell her when
ever he broke anything. The boy
promised to do as she advised. One
day, while Mrs Wilson was entertain
ing some friends in the parlor, the
Japanese suddenly appeared in the
doorway. His teeth were barred in a
childlike smile and his eyes sparkled
with the light of conscious virtue: 4

1--WE are it, says the New Thought.
We held convention in Carnegie
LyCeum, in New York, last week
which brought together believers in
this comforting doctrine from New
York, Boston and Brockton, and every
body was happy and thought abund-
ance." There were smartly gOwned
women, who read essays, tied with
pink ribbon, pundits from far India,
teachers of new health food rules,
form er theosophists, students of the
occult and late followers of half-for-
gotten 'isms," all held together by
the golden chain of the New Thought,
which puts money in the purse of
thinking and implies health, wealth
and love
New York has now two branches of
the new organization, and there eX-
lists, in fact, a New Thought church,
of which the New Thought college at
No Carnegie hall is the inspiration
and source The chief New Thought
err is Mrs. Julia Seton Sears. a ply
stefan and philosopher, and the high
priestess of the new idea.
Being, as she says, regularly grad
uated physician, Mrs. Sears does not
oppose the administration of medi
cines, nor does she deem them I'M
necessary. Unlike Christian Scent
lists, she does not in effect repudiate
the existence of matter. She admits
that disease exists, although it is
failure to understand the higher Cos
mic intelligence which causes it.
There is much comfort to be deriv-
ed by the following of the new cult
just by thinking. The college is
large room on the ground floor of Car
negie hall.

gard her as the seeress and the lead

er of their new church and attend her
as faithful followers when she gives
instruction on the principles of cor
rect thinking and proper living.
There are sixty books which form
the bulk Of the literature on the part
of the layman who has not the inspira-
ton and belief of the new ideas to
analyze the various concepts which go
to make it. Here are some of the
vital sayings:
Perfect health, perpetual opulence
end divine realization for all man
kind.
peace, power and plenty are the
constant possessions of those who
know how to make union with them.
Everything comes to us from the
Infinite, and nothing finite can inter
pose between the supply and the soul
which has made a conscious relation
with the universal abundance.
THE All Will wants us to have ev
erything that we want and will help
us to secure it. No one can say mo- to
us but ourselves. We are the highest
expression of life on this plane, and
lords, indeed, of all this lower king
dom.
I'VE believe in the one life in all
and through all; it's understanding in
spires ali human intelligence, it's in
finity is the animating principle Of all
beng; it is a powerful, glorious, all
sufficient, and has in it neither sin,
sickness, poverty nor death"
Perhaps an important phase Of the
beliefs OF New Thought may be sum-
med up in the phrase, Il want what
[ want and when | want it," to which
may be added L want what l want
and l get it,
Every life" to quote from DR..
Sears Key to Health, Wealth and
Love- has a right to desire and to
have and to hold this trinity for itself.

no one limits us but ourselves. The

proved by simply introducing a good
male; in plants many crops are great
ly improved by simply selecting good
females as seed producers.
The keynote of improvement by Sc
lection is the choice of the very best
individuals. The discovery of the best
individual in any crop under consid-
Grafton, requires the growing of a
large number of individuals under as
uniform condition as possible, so that
the experimenter may have opportuni-
ty to examine and select the best. Two
methods of growing plants for selec-
ton are in general use which may be
termed first, the nursery method and
second, the field method.
In selecting the best plants in any
crop the breeder must aim to examine
very large number of plants and
carefully compare their important
characters. To know what the impor-
tant characters are, it is necessary to
be familiar with the crop and have a
thorough knowledge of those qualities
which go to make up a plant of the
greatest intrinsic value In some
cases breeders have given primary at
tention to some quality which is large
Iy secondary in nature. Corn-breeders,
as an illustration, have given great at
ention 20 getting ears well filled out

there if the ordinary score card did
not require it. Such a character is of
no value, unless it is correlated with
heavy yield and the writer knows of
no evidence to show that this is the
case. What the corn-breeder desires
is the variety that will give the largest
yield per acre of good grain. If the
variety happens to bear ears we'll filed

ing of the tip is not a detrimental
character. If, however, this heavy

Doubtless a few accomplished wood
engravers still survive, but their num-
hers are steadily diminishing. Wood
engraving alas. is almost lost art.
AS a rule an engraving on wood is
more expensive than half-tone block,
and doubtless that fact will stand IN
the way of a general return to khe
wood, but it ought not to prevent our
taking all practicable steps to safe

The Wood Lot,

Nearly every farm has at least few
acres which are of little value for
growing agricultural crops. This land
should be set aside for wood lot and
devoted to the production of fuel,
fence posts and timber for farm uses.

the forestry bureau at Washington,
which can be obtained free on request,
and which gives information regard
ing the species best suited for planta-
tions, and advice as to planting and

Decline in Price of Hay.

There has been steady decline in
hay prices. However, while the aver
age is fully three dollars below last
years quotations, prices are still high
er than they were two years ago. Pos
sibly the fact that in some parts of the
east farmers are selling timothy and
mixed hay and buying alfalfa for their

with lower prices, though the business
conditions will partly account for the
