leader of the army, Iturbide, becoming emperor. This state of affairs was concluded in about year by the ab- dication of the emperor, who sailed for Europe, where he made his home some time
 Learning that his native land was to be made the object of an attack by the European powers, Iturbide re- turned to Mexico only to find the re- public which had existed during his absence had made law that his life foot on Mexican soil. He was seized and put to death.
 This was in 1924. The family of the emperor came to this country, settling in Washington and Philadelphia It. was in Washington that the emperor's son, Angelo, met Miss Greene of Georgetown, and after their marriage they went back to the City of Mexico.
 It was there, in 1863, that the pres ent Prince Augustine de Iturbide was born. About a year later Maximilian, archduke of Austria, was called by the Mexican monarchistic party to come to this country and take possession, the monarchists offering him the throne of an emperor. Maximilian, who was aided by Napoleon IT., accepted the invitation, landed in Mexico and was, for time, an unhappy and pov- erty-stricken monarch. The native Mexicans, however, revolted against a foreign sovereign. Maximilian was defeated, tried for treason, sentenced and shot. Maximilian, shortly before his death, declared that the young boy, Augustine de Iturbide, was to be his heir, as he could thus combine in one person both native and foreign claims.
 After the death of Maximilian and the establishment of republic for a second time, the lturbides returned to Washington. Young Augustine was placed at Catholic colleges and also travelled abroad extensively. A man of wealth, the most exclusive society of nations was his own and for many years he enjoyed the life of a social butterfly.
 While still young man he returned home, and, as a lieutenant, entered the Mexican army, but having issued proclamation which was regarded as disturbing to the government, he was put in prison, then eXiled, so that now, while he is not formally forbidden to set foot in his native land, it would be unwise for him to do so.
 The Third Order of St Francis con- trols the monastery known as the Mount of the Holy Sepulchre. While the prince will wear no habit, his life will be one of quiet and devotion and far from all worldly amusements. This order was founded in the Thirteenth century by St. Francis of Assist, and numbers many thousands in it's ranks, some of the members belonging to the mendicant orders.

 It was not long after the resignation of Robert B. Lee from the United States army and the withdrawal of the Lee family from Arlington that the United States government took pos session of the place.
 The heights commanded Washing ton and their occupation by federal forces was loked upon as a military necessity.
 During the war camps and hospitals were scattered over that high country and on the Arlington estate. Men who the Soldiers Homo cemetery in Wash ington. However, in the spring of 1864 Gen. Fucker and Capt. James M.
 Moore reported that Arlington was a most eligible site for national ceme- tery, and Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, on May 13, 1864, ordered that inter- Elent be made there. On that day a number of men who died in the Ar lington and surrounding hospitals were laid under the sod at Arlington.
 It is said that the first interment made at Arlington was that of the body of confederate prisoner, L.. Reinhardt, Twenty-third North Caro- lima infantry, who died of wounds re- ceived in battle.
 At the close of the civil war bodies were gathered from the battlefields of northern Virginia and from the old camp sites, and reinterred at Arling- ton. The graves of Arlington have been growing in number till there are now about 30,000 of them. More off, cers of the army and navy are buried there than in any other cemetery, per haps in all other national cemeteries, in the United States. Soldiers and ex-soldiers and sailors have the rigEt of burial at Arlington and beautiful grave sites are provided by the quar- termaster's department of the army for officers and their wives.
 Early in 1864 Arlington was ordered to be sold for taxes and the place was bought by the national government for a trifling sum. Mrs. Lee died in 1873 without contesting the governments title, but her son, George Washington Custis Lee, sued to have the sale set aside as invalid. The case finally was decided by the supreme court of the United States in favor of Lee. He then sold the estate to the government for $150,000.
 In the southwest part of the grounds are the graves of Custis, the builder of Arlington, and his wife. Over these graves are two marble monuments erected by their daughter, Mrs. Robert B. Lee.
 The memorial exercises held at Ar lington May 30 every year are impos. ing and impressive.

Valuable Louse Treatmeftt.

Weary not in well doing" applies as much to chicken work as it does to the Lords work It takes time and attention to raise a large number of chickens.
 Many people plan largely early in the spring, set every hen that clucks and stays on the nest over night. When the chicks are matched, their enthusiasm has vanished, and they turn the chickens loose to the mer- cies of the lice and mites, with only then, and wonder why q never have any luck with chickens?" Again, some few overdo the thing. One man I knew (by the way, a man who does not know how to care for cihiekens) put prepared liquid lice killer in a it, full strength, when at foost, and next morning carried off a lot which he said had died of cholera.
 We have no cholera in tlle Panhan- dle. But I do really believe lice the big lice, not mites-cause nine tenths of the ills which befall young chickens. Before I learned how to rid fowls of lice I lost half I had matched, but now I lose very few. Out of eighty five I have lost only three this year.
 Get some good lice powder-not in- sect powder, but lice powder, especial ly prepared for poultry-put some in pepper box; dust the little fellows when you take them off the nest Put them in an air-tight box q use paste, board shoe boX) for three to five min- utes;; the lice will fall off dead in the bottom of the box. Do this twice each week for two weeks and then once week until they are weaned Feed them intelligently and you will raise them nearly all in the Panhan- de, or at least l do. But those Rhode Island Reds are thrifty little fellows, anyway, and they grow fast. It pays to take good cars of them, for there is more money in eggs and chickens than any product of the farm for the amount invested.-Mrs. E. E. Adams Potter County, Texas, in Farm and Ranch.

PRINCE TURNS MONK
HEIR TO THRONE OF MEXICO
 FoRSAKES WORLD.
Renounces All Political Ambition and Will Devote Life to Literature and Writings-Chosen by
 Maximilian as Successor,

Washington.-Princ Augustine de fturbide, grandson of the great libera- tor of Mexico, heir to a throne, man of the world, educated, widely travelled and member of the jeunesse doree of many European capitals, has forsaken the ways of the fashionable world and joined the Third Order of St. Francis. In Washington fashionable society Prince Iturbide was widely known for many years
 Suffering recently from a severe ill., ness, he has of late spent many months in the hospital. Prince Iturbide now asserts that he has renounced all po- litical ambitions and that he will never make any attempt to regain his claim in Mexico. He expects to de- vote his life mainly to literature and writings of theological character.
 Interwoven with the life of the prince is the romantic history of the land of the cactus for the last hundred years, and the melancholy fate of the Austrian archduke, Maximilian. By right of descent from the Emperor 1turbide, as well as from the fact that he was declared heir by Maximilian, Prince Iturbide would be entitled to the throne of Mexico were that coun- try to again become an empire. The Emperor Iturbide was born in 1783 and led the revolt of the colonies, then known as New Spain, against the mother country.

 In 1887 Dr. Quayle was appointed pastor of tha Methodist Episcopal church at Osage City, Kan, but in the year following returned to the Baker university as a professor of Greek, post he held for three years, when in 1890 he was elected president of the university.
 Dr. Quayle resigned the presidency of Baker university to accept the pas torate of the Independence Avenue Methodist Episcopal church of Kansas City. Mo-, where he remained until he went to Chicago as pastor of St. James, Methodist Episcopal church.

governor. Ever since the fight started he has been spending his time in his apartments receiving reports, writing cards and consulting with friends. He would be no match on the stump for Hoke Smith, whose powers of endur- ance are the marvel of Georgia. All the attacks made upon Brown, all the shouts for him to come forth and give the public view, have failed to bring him into sight, have failed to cause him outward irritation.
 Joe Brown is a man of about 55. He was born in Canton, Ga, was given a fair education in grammar schools and was then sent to the University of Georgia, and afterward took a legal course at Harvard. His education completed, he came home and went to work, at times aiding his father in his political fights.
 He began his railroad work in 1877, when he was hired as a clerk in the freight department of the Western & Atlantic road. He became general freight agent in 1881, general freight and passenger agent in 1884 and traf- fife manager in 1889. In the succeed ing years he filled various railroad po- sitions of responsibility.
 MT. Brown was appointed railroad commissioner and was busted by Gov Smith as the result of an alleged threatening note.

ing the fiscal year which will end on June 30 of this year, Dr. Wiley finds himself in charge of corps of $50 persons, 200 of them chemists, and the budget of the bureau will total $S00,000
 To-day the government also main tainS 60 experiment stations which are now in operation in every state and territory, including Alaska Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
 Mere growth in expenditures would
 0t necessarily argue increase of use-
 'ss, but in the case of the depart
 of agriculture it's benefits to the
 ,. ming interests and to the country 1t large have been immeasurably en- hanced during the last 25 years To these increased benefits the bureau of chemistry, of which Dr. Wiley is chief has made large contributions By the analysis of soils and the investigation of the effect of environment on the chemical composition of plants the bureau of chemistry was able to define the limits of sugar beet growing terri tory in the United States and open the way for the establishment of the beet sugar industry, which promises great results in the near future.
 In 1880 there were only four beet sugar factories in the United States. with an invested capital of s365, 900 and an annual product valued at $2S2,572. In 1905 the factories num- bered 51, the capital invested was S55,- 923, ,459, and the value of products was $24 ,393,7 794. From 1900 to 1905 the number of beet sugar factories in- creased 70 per cent; the capital in vested in the business increased TIT per cent, and the value of the yearly output increased 233 per cent.
 Another service of inestimable value rendered to the country by the na, tional bureau of chemistry is in start. ing and promoting the pure food and drug movement. If Dr. Wiley is not the father of that movement, he has been the head and front of it from the beginning. When he began work on that line, upward of 20 years ago, not a state in the union had a pure food lew; now most of them have laws on the subject and commissions to en. force them. Dr. Wiley was the pioneer of the movement in America and he made chemistry most effective in- strument in promoting it. It was mainly through his efforts that the analysis of foods, drugs. spices, edibles and beverages showed adulteration to be an almost universal practice, and started movement that has resulted in widespread reform. He is the father of the national pure food law which took effect January 1, 1907 and chair, man of the national commission for construing and enforcing it.

Home and Farm:

Home and Farm:
 It is easier to raise five pounds of pork than one pound of cotton, and the pork will sell for the most money
 The picnic season is on hand, and of them.
 A little more pork, Mr Farmer, a little more pork and not quite so much cotton.
 There may be some of your good neighbors who have not joined the Union. If so, they should be shown the advantages of cooperation.
 Don't neglect the social features in the meetings of the local Unions. The women should form the most promi- nent feature in these.
 The Southern farms need more grease, and pork that is produced on the farm makes the best kind. Six million bales of cotton will sell for as much as 12,000000 bales, but it seems like a difficult matte" to get the Southern farmer to see it.
 The Union man who seeks to take advantage of a reduction of the cot ton crop by not reducing his own is more of aodis-union man than other wise He is ''scab."
 Diversity of crops is the best so- lution of. the cotton question. More corn and pork and less cotton. This is one of the most important subjects for education in the Union.
 That the Farmers Union maay make mistakes is not denied. It is not infallible, neither are, the officers and members. It is composed of hu- man beings, and it is human to err. But it's objects are grand, and the spirit which moves it in the great work it is accomplishing should com mand the respect and admiration of all good people.
 It is probable that the principle of selfshness can not be entirely elim- mated from the human heart, but it should be made to take back seat in all transactions of the. Farmers Union.
 Have you a Farmers Union in your neighborhood? If not, go to work to nave one and get in the swim.
 The secret work of the Union is en- tirely unobjectionable. It is only for the purpose of protecting the members from being imposed upon ny those who are not members, and are nCs worthy to become such.
 The Farmers Union News, pub lished in Union City, Ga, the home Of President Barrett, is authority for the statement that there are now 2,400,000 members belonging to the order in the twenty-six States in which it has organized. And they are still con- ing.

W|LEYS GREAT WORK
HOOSlER SCIENTIST WHO HEADS
 BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY.
Has Done More Than Any Other Ons Man to Place American AericuI- ture on Scientific Basis-Fa-
 ther of Pure Food Laws.

Washington.-No branch of applied science has made greater progress during the last 25 years than agricul- tural chemistry and Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, present chief of the bureau of Chemistry in the department of agri- culture unquestionably has accom- plished more than any other living man in the work of placing American agriculture on a more scientific basis, thereby adding enormously to the pro- ductiveness and wealth of the country. Scientific agriculture, or as it may otherwise be termed, agricultural chemistry, is a science of comparative ly recent origin and the Indiana man has been the leading spirit in it for nearly generation.
 Prof. Wiley's interest in scientific agriculture began with his connection with Purdue university as professor of chemistry, in 1874, a year after his graduation at Harvard, when he was also appointed state chemist of h. diana. He remained at Purdue nine years.
 Dr. Wiley's connection with the gov ernment work began in 1883 when he was offered the position of chief of the bureau of chemistry of the depart ment of agriculture. The offer was ae- cepted, and from that time the devel- opment of that bureau and it's activi- ties became Dr. Wiley's lifework. To day he is recognized as one of the worlds great chemists, with a mem bership in many foreign and American scientific societies.
 Arriving in Washington to take up the duties of his new post, Dr. Wiley found his quarters confined to a lab oratory in the basement of the anti quated agricultural department build ing and little office upstairs. His full working force consisted of four assistant chemists and a dishwasher. The first years appropriation for the work of the bureau was $15.000. Dar

How and WGan Flies Breed.

We are told that ninety nine of
 every hundred flies that infest houses
 belong to the family which breeds in
 stable filth. One female lays an aver
 age of one hundred and twenty eggs in
 a season; tn eegg matches into a mag got that eats ravenously and grows fast for five days; the maggot turns into pupa and sleeps nearly five i days, then in about ten days from the ]. laying of the egg the fly emerges from
 the pupa state with wings-an adult . fly, to travel about and spread disease , wherever it finds an opportunity. Each
 of the young female flies is soon ready to take up the work of multiplying it's 5 kind. Each fly is capable of visiting a garbage heap and carrying thence germs of such diseases as typhoid fever or dyphtheria. Some of our sol diers while in camp during tkc Span Z ish War were infected with typhoid fever by flies that had access to sew Rage swamps. A farmer who keeps his Town place clean may be made sick by flies that come from a garbage pile E of some sick neighbor. We are told Z that if there were no filthy barn yards For stables there would be no flies, since they would have no place to agrow; and we are also told that they Mwill grow in any animal or fowl eX- sscrement A firm compost heap is al 4most free from maggots, as the female Niles can not penetrate such heaps to $ lay eggs. A hen working in a heap #of manure will destroy many young
 flies. The hen also makes the surface
 too dry for matching the fly eggs
 1# All this shows that each person
 should keep his own premises clean
 and have his house screened, so that
 flies may not come from neighbor's,
 where there is sickness, and thus car
 " the disease. It has been stated
 That one female lays an average of zone hundred and twenty eggs in a
 season, and supposing that one-half
 that many fles develop; figure up what
 the number of her offspring is after
 th1ee or four generations.
 S@ Do not be content with keeping
 the premises clean outdoors and z Nscreening the house. Do not leave
 food uncovered, and keep the floors
 and the tables clean. It is an error
 to keep a room dark continually to
 keep out flies. Flies do not like a
 room where there is no moisture or
 mold. Let in the sunlight and make
 the room unpleasant for them
 Where there is no sunlight they will
 Ind conditions they like, even though 5 they gather at windows where light
 zones in. Have screen doors hung
 to swing outward, so flies will move
 from the door as it is opened.-South

NATIONAL CEMETERY
ARLINGTON, BURIAL GROUND
 FOR COUNTRIES HEROES.
Site Once the Home of Robert E. Lee Taken Possession of by United States at Outbreak of the
 Civil War.

Washington.-Th story of Arling- ton is interwoven with the story of America. The beauty and the solemni ty of that national metropolis make q touching appeal to the thousands of pilgrims that annually visit it.
 The builder of Arlington house and it's first occupant was George Wash ington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington. The wife of George Washington Parke Custis was Mary Lee Fitzhugh of Virginia and this lady was the first mistress of Ar hngton house. The daughter of George Washington Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh was Mary Ann Randolph Custis, who on June 30, 1851, was married at Arlington to Lieut.. Robert E. Lee Engineer corps, U. $. A. Lieut.. and Mrs. Lee continued to reside at Arlington and on the death of her father, March 26, 1855, Mrs. Lee inherited the estate. It was the home of Robert E. Lee and his family until April P, 1861, when he left Richmond and it was on that day that Gov. Letch- CT and the convention of Virginia ap- pointed Lee commander-in-chief of the military forces of Virginia.
 It was in December, IT'S, that John Parke Custis of Abingdon bought from Gerald Alexander HOO acres of land opposite Georgetown, now a part of the city of Washington. The price paid was HOO pounds sterling. He called the new place Arlington in memory of the old Custis seat across Chesapeake bay. The Alexander fam fly (hence the name "Alexandria') had bought 6,000 acres of land, includ- ing Arlington, for six hogsheads of to- bacco from Robert Howson, who had
