One ReIted Earl.

The Earl of Leicester, who died re.
Gently, was known as the first farmer
Of England" On the great estates
which he inherited from his father
were first introduced me hods Of
scientific farming that have greatly
benefited English agriculture. They
include the four-course rotation in
crops-turnips. barley, clover, wheat
and the live stock shows. The earl
was interesting not only as a farmer,
but as an example OF longevity in a
long-liyed family. No less than 157
years separated the birth of the father
and the death of the son, and the son
married his second wife 100 years
after the father married his first. The
father of the earl, who has just died,
headed a deputation from Norfolk to
urge George III to acknowledge the in
dependence of the American colonies.
He died at the age Of 80. the o at
the age Of S7.-Youth's Companion.

DEFENSE OF TIE SWAMP.
Southern Writer Sees Little Harm in
Them, But Public Opinion Is
Against Him.

Out Of Georgia comes defense and
even praise Of the swamps. DR.. no.
land Harper, in a publication Of the
Georgia Forest association. declares
that swamps are not so black nor so
noxious as they are painted. the Wash
ington Post says. He even predicts
a time when swamps will be reserved
as parks for the preservation of their
scenic beauties. which are not yet ap-
preciated by nature lovers. An add.
tional reason for preservation of the
swamps he finds in the great need of
forestation FOR the protection of the
sources Of streams, an argument In
which there is considerable merit, al.
though most of the great swamps are
found not at the sources OF streams.
but near the mouths OF rivers.
From time immemorial swamps have
been identified with malaria and other
feyers and diseases. DR.. Harper thinks
they have been much maligned in this
respect, declaring hat there can be
no objection to swamps on hygienic
grounds since the discovery that
malaria is spread only by the agency
Of mosquitoes. But right here the doc
tor overlooks the most potent argu-
ment for the draining Of the swamps,
for it is only by drainage that the
great breeding haunts of the mosdui.

ence of a large swamp near any center
Of population is a grave menace to
health and inevitably reduces the eco
nomic, industrial and social efficiency
Of the people In the vicinity. As the
south is to-day the greatest sufferer
from the blighting effects OF malaria
and the diseases that follow In its
train, it is somewhat remarkable that
a defense Of these pest spots should
come from the pen of an intelligent,
observing southerner.
II Is a matter of history that can be
verified by reference to any standard
textbook that malarial diseases have
disappeared from Europe and the
northern part OF the United States In
almost exact proportion to the drain.
Ing of the swamps. It is a necessary
step in civilizations battle with dis
ease. The widespread aversion to and
dread of swamps that refuses to recog.
nize their aesthetic values. which DR..
Harper d%eplores, is a deep-seated.
popular instinct founded upon cen
utries Of bitter warfare with swamp

Autos with poa Kennels.

The dog trotting contentedly along
between or just back Of the rear
wheels of a carriage is one of the
pleasant remembrances of the time
when the horse was supreme. but
horse and dog were both rudely dis.
turbed by the advent of the automo-
bile.
Automobiles run too fast for a dog
to trot along beside, and as there is
not room within the autmobile for
anything larger than a lap dog the
coach dog had to go.
One English automobile firm Is now
manufacturing an automobile body
that opens at the back, disclosing a
roomy kennel for dogs, but It is prob
able that although better than nothing
at all this arrangement will not be
completely satisfactory to either dog
or masters.-Popular Mechanics.

An tole Bunch then and there 1
thought it plum ~disgraceful to have
statutes of young wimmen standing
round 'thout no raiment, though It
was a sin an shame that tn hired
girl had been so careless bout breakin'
off tn arm.
Bunch, who's been studyin' all
about art since he's tried to butt into
society, whispered that tn arm hadn't
ben broke by no hired girl, but that
the statute was a replicky-I think he
said-of n made by some famous old
Teller, and tn arm was broke-likely
bein' hit by a spade when they dug
her up hundreds o years ago. Said she
