ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Quite the most interesting bit in
the alluring pages of the st. Nicholas
is the story of how that dearest OF
all children's classics, "Alice in Won
derland," came 20 be written, told by
Helen Marshall Pratt. 1t is a charm
ing tale of the friendship of a quiet,
reserved, bookish young lecturer at
Christ Church College, Oxford, and
of three children, daughters OF the
dean of the cathedral.
Boating on the river, with tea on
the banks, and story telling along the
way, was the favorite play of those
four comrades; and Of the many stor-
les told on these outings the adven-
lures of "Alice in Wonderland" were
written down to please little Alice
Liddel, second of the children, later
finding their way into print.
So little did the author understand
what a wonderfully ingenious and
fascinating book he had written that
he did not expect the first edition
would ever be sold. But the 1000
books were very quickly disposed Of.
Every one wanted to read alice, "
and to have his friends read 1t. Not
only little children, but grown people
enjoyed it, and edition after edition
has been printed and sold, ano to-day
it is even Amore sought after than
when it was first published. 1t has
become a classic and holds a place
on chiIdren's bookshelves with Rob
inson Crusoe" and Hans Christian
Andersen" There is not a spot in
the civilized world, not library with
any pretension to literature, where
the Jabberwock and the Cheshire Cat
are unknown.

Po.ltry Pointers.

Much depends upon care and
watchfulness now in securing good
balance on the side of profit. An
early moult and high condition OF
health before going into winter will
bring eggs when eggs bring the-most
r.oney.
The pullets that are to be early
layers are to be literally fed and
have special attention now, and in
their selection there is usually room
for choice.
It is the condition OF the flock
abort the time OF early frosts that
chiefly decides the question of rrof1t
or loss for the next three months.
1t is really at this time that skill
and good judgment are most in de-
mand to put the flock on paying
basis. Marketing the surplus Of The
young stock, wedding out ali oldish or
unproductive hens and securing real
working value in every individual
hen and pullet-these are what will
make the investment in score or a
hundred hens pay an annual profit Of
a hundred per cent.
Every hen can easily be made to
earn dollar in addition to her keep,
but to be sure of it there must be no
neglect Of single important detail

Southern Agricultural Topics.
Modern Methods That Are sHelpful to
Farmer, Fruit Grower and Stockman.

more readily to seed Improvement
than corn. The South needs corn.
and it needs it badly. have known
this year of hundreds of farmers who
have bought corn on the credit sys-E
tenn, paying 81 bushel for it. when
it can be grown here for less than
twenty-five cents bushel. There is
no chance for the average cotton
farmer to get his prosperity on the
standing basis till he gets to growing
his home supplies. When he does
that, then he can dictate his terms to
the rest Of the world, If they be in
reason. There are more ways than
one by which this can be done. In.
deed, it is we'll for them to work in
more ways than one. To-day there
are thousands of bushels Of cowpeas
going to waste in the fields because
the farmers are busy picking cotton
and will not stop to pick the peas.
The same is true Of the pea hay crop.
Hundreds of tons are drying up in the
fields around my farms, and the
farmers will not stop to try to save it,
as they want to rush on with the cot
ton.
Next.year they will be paying s1.50s
a busheFfor seed peas and $40 for
hay. What cotton I have in the field
could stay there if had to leave my
pea crop in the field to ruin. A man
can make s25 easy cutting pea hay,
and he cannot make one-fourth that
amount picking cotton. advocate
the picking of cotton at once, but I
would rather let it stay in the fields
for a while, as it will keep and the
peas and hay will rot. What we
want to do is to get onto the Idea
that we want the things needed at
home more than we do anything else.
can't see why folk will go ahead and
grab at what they have at hand when
they let the very best slip by them.
Just because we happen to need
little money now and won't need the
hay and peas till next year is no
reason why we should not give the
most valuable subject our considera-
tion.
Going back to our original starting
point: Let the farmers of the South
take the lesson to heart and see If
they cannot get some good from the
idea of seed improvement. I believe
in every man doing what he can for
himself, and therefore I think it is 5
duty man owes to himself to do
his best in getting the best seed frcm
his own supply, and he will then
know that he is getting something
that is good. This way, of buying
something that you do not know is
good is often working against the.
man who has something good to sell
that will help the world along. Good
seeds are advertised by responsible
farmers, and there is no longer any
excuse why men should not have
them. C. McAuliffe, Harlem, Ga.

For.fhe
Younger
Children:

they have little cages for them, like
we do for our canaries. But they
have only one cricket in cage, as
they will fight ifsput together.
"The Murmurer, as Mr.. Grass
hopper is called-and don't see why,
as his songs to Mrs. Grasshopper are
so loud and shrill-makes his music
by rubbing his wings together. He
has a little piece of skin like tight
drumhead set in each. wing, and as
he moves his wings these tiny drums
vibrate-thus his music.
Mrs. Grasshopper doesn't have a
drum in her wings, but listens to her
lords music with her ears, which are
on her fore legs! Isn't 1T queer?
Think of having ones ears in such an
inconvenient place, as near a knee!
Or, as the locusts have, on each side
of the abdomen. At least, they have
round plate there, which is sup
posed to be an ear, on each side.
Mr.. Grasshopper sits perfectly still
while making his music, looking very
grave and quite correct, in his long
tailed dress suit coat, which he al
ways wears.
Mr.. Locust, however, stands on his
two front fore legs to sing, and is
really ludicrous sight as he lifts his
hind legs and draws one by one, and
then both together, across his wings.
The inner side of his hind legs has
rough, fle-like edges. and the wings
thick veins, like cords, and the file of
the legs on the cords of the wings
produces the sound. He is finished
musician, too, for he can make two
tones, and as one or two legs are
used, make the music loud or soft.
The beautiful light-green katydid
sings only at night, and his song.

teapot lid; Katydidn't," and all the
different versions Of it, is one of my
earliest ecollections.-Mrs. Helen E.

A FEW INSECT MUSICIANS.

Surely you have heard them-a

all carry fine musical instruments
with them wherever they go. So, a
concert or a serenade can be given
at moments notice, and fancy
they never make the excuse, Il can't;

I have been kept awake many a

under his wings all the time.
Well, near where his left wing
