SHINING Example.

When Turkey casts aside the bonds
That held her to the past
And comes, a giant new and strong,
By elders not outclaSsed,
And from a nation old and sick
Sits up and sets the pace,
Then confidently we may say
There's hope for any race.
Who would have thought it of the Turk,
So often billed to die.
That he would come to life again.
So gay and young and spry?
Who would have prophesied that he .
The despots power would check
And be discovered standing there
Upon the sultan's neck?
OF course he stood it pretty long.
And time he had to learn.
From centuries of greed and graft
At last the worm will turn.
And when at last he turned and took
The nations by surprise
He only had to reach his hand
To grasp the freeman's prize.
Good boy there, Mr.. Youthful Turk!
You've surely won place
Among advancing peoples who
Toward progress set their face.
You've joined the human brotherhood.
Our hand is at your door
To welcome you and say you are
Unspeakable no more.

FaIsifyinq an Old Proverb.

The adage "Happy is the bride
that the sun shines on" is one that
is unknown in many lands. A Bre-
ton bride likes to have a wet we'd
ding and takes it unhappily when
the day of her wedding dawns bright
and sunny. Rain on her marriage
morn is held to signify that all her
tears are shed and that she will
therefore have a happy married life.
It is said that the Era of Simbrisk
call the day before the wedding the
weeping day, and the bride and her
girl friends weep as much as posi-
Bile, with the idea of getting the
mourning Of life over, so that only
what is joyful may remain. In some
countries this result is expected by
sousing the bride with water. The
Greeks think that a thorough
drenching of the bride will bring
her lasting good fortune.

Why Paperhangers.

Wall paper does not hang, and yet
the person whose business it is to
paste it up is called a paperhanger.
The reason is simple. Long before
the introduction of wall papers Ar
ras, town in France, was famous
for its tapestries, called 'SArras."
These were used as wall coverings,
and the men who were employed to
put them up were called Changers. "
When paper succeeded tapestries as
a mural decoration the name chang
ers" stuck to the men, though in
stead Of being tapestry hangers they
were now paperhangers.

Keep the Kidneys Well.

OUR EARLY PAINTERS.
Benjamin West Started His Career as
an Infant Prodigy.

Naturally the early painters in
colonial times were immigrants.
They were for the most part men
whose names have long since per-
ished and were probably Of little
account even in their own day. We
picture these men with their paint
boxes and rolls of canvas packed
upon their knapsacks, trudging up
hill and down dale, begging an oc-
casional ride, putting up at road
inns and painting a new sign to set
tie the landlords score. AS late, by
the way. as 1888 Matthew Pratt, a
resident painter of Philadelphia,
found signboards as profitable a sub
ject as portraits.
Benjamin West may be reckoned
the earliest Of native born Ameri-
can painters, for, although his birth
occurred in 1888, a year after that
of John Singleton Copley, his rise
to notice preceded the latter's.
West, in fact, began by being an in
FAINT prodigy and never quite got
over it. It was a remarkable fact
in itself that an artist should be
born of a Quaker family in a little
Pennsylvania settlement, amid the
rigors of frontier life, and that with
out any known encouragement from
his family and surroundings the
child at six years old should have
Enthusiastically shown artistic tend
encies. The story is that while
left in charge of baby sister he
tried to make a portrait of her in
red and black ink. Then the fol-
lowing year some Indians showed
him how to make red and yellow
colors, while his mother allowed him
to dip into her indigo tub and even
made brush for him from the fur
Of the cat. With these rude ma
terials he executed some colored
drawings that attracted the atten-
ton of a Mr.. Pennington of Phila-
delphia, who presented him with a
real box Of paints and some engrav-
ings after italian pictures. He
made such rapid progress that be-
fore he was twelve years old he was
practicing as professional portrait
painter in Philadelphia. By the
time he was twenty-five he had
saved enough money to visit Rome,
whittier his fame had preceded him.
Three years later he reached Lon
don and was received with an en-
thusiasm that at once launched him
into a success which only grew
greater as the years went by. Final
ly he was elected president of the
Royal academy and held this posi-
ton until his death, when a great
public funeral was given to his re-
mains in st. Paul's cathedral.-Cir-

Agricultural Legislation In Mississippi

Agricultural Legislation In Mississippi
At recent session Of the Mississippi
legislature q number of acts were
passed with view to promoting the
agricultural interests Of the state.
Among these was an act authorizing
each county in the state to build an
agricultural high school and pledging
a state support fund Of $1,000 annual
ly for each school meeting certain
specified conditions. Fifteen counties
have already located schools. The
first Of these was Noxubee county,
which has voted tax levy of / mill
upon the taxable property Of the coun-
ty for the support Of its county agri-
cultural high school at Mashulaville,
an inland village twelve miles west of
Macon. This school will have an in
come of $1,000 from the state, $1,000
from the public schools merged into it
and 5000 from the county, making
IN annual income Of $1,000.
The legislature also authorized
boards Of supervisors to appropriate
money for premiums to boys engaged
In corn growing contests. Such con-
tests were organized in five counties
last year and in twenty-three counties
this year, with over 5000 boys en-
gagged in the work. There are also
about 500 girls organized in home cul-
'ture clubs. Exhibits are first held in
the home counties, after which those
taking prizes are shown at the state
air.
