The book of Job. I call it, apart
from all theories about it, one of
the grandest things ever written with
pen. One feels, indeed, as if it were
not Hebrew; such noble universal
ity, different from noble patriotism
or sectarianism, reigns in it. A no
Bile book; all mems book! It is our
first, oldest statement of the never
ending problem-man's destiny and
Gods ways with him here in this
earth. And all in such free-flowing
outlines; grand in it's sincerity, in its
simplicity, in it's epic melody, and re-
pose Of reconcilement There is the
seeing eye. the mildly understanding
heart. So true every way; true eye
sight and vision for all things; ma
terial things no less than spiritual.
The horse-"hast thou clothed his
neck with thunder?"-"he laughs at
the shaking of the spear!" Such liv-
ing likenesses were never since
drawn. Sublime sorrow, sublime re-
cancellations; oldest choral melody as
Of the heart of mankind; so soft, and
great-as the summer midnight; as
the world with its seas and stars!
There is not written, think, in the
Bible or out of it, book of equal
literary merit.-Selected.

 s On Agriculturat Education

D .-g Q d q auirsd under the laws in many States. InAt the teachers of the elementary scngon may be prepared for their duties. courses are offered for their instruction in many of the normal col isges of the country. Let me point out the fact that in few States, there Is the articulation in the courses of study from the elementary schools to the graduate work Forty agricultural colleges, now offer graduate courses for
 the masters degree and nine give suf-
 fcient work to enable the student to
 take his doctorate. The great uni
 versailles accept at full value for de-
 grees the work done in agriculture at
 any of the. leading agricultural col
 leges. @ k. fl
 If there is any Justification for the
 establishment of the agricultural col
 legeS and experiment stations. there
 Is stiii greater reason for the organ
 ization and maintenance of the sec
 ondary agricultural schools As in
 classical so in agricultural education,
 secondary courses must be offered that
 the students from the : elementary
 schools may be able to satisfy the col-
 teges entrance Requirements To meet
 this demand three. plans have been
 followed, viz: (i) The organization
 of preparatory departments in the agri-
 cultural colleges, CD the introduction or agriculture in the public high schools Of the states. and (3l the establishment of distinctive secondary agricultural
 schools.
 The agricultural colleges of the states having representation in the oner preparatory courses. The normal colleges of nine States offer courses in agriculture for the purpose of pre- pairing teachers to give instruction In this branch of study, Thirteen States here represented teach agriculture in one or more of its high schools and academies. The introduction of ag- ricuiture into the public high schools as branch of study is no longer a rare occurrence There are now at least 200 high schools in Missouri of- fering courses In agriculture and one pr more in more than twenty other states. From recent press statements it appears that agriculture is to be taught In the county high school of Mississippi and 1t wnli be taught in each of the l50 new high schools soon to be opened in Virginia under the authority of the State Superintendent Of Education

There are now forty sch ools of this class in the united States. as follows: Nine in Alabama. one in California. twelve in Georgia, including the North Carolina Agricultural College; one in Maryland, one in Massachusetts. one in Michigan. one in Minnesota, one In New York. one in Pennsylvania, one in Texas, one In Virginia, four in Wisconsin and six In the Philippines.

 The Southern Problem.
 The problem in the educational life of the southern States is to reach the chill dren who live on the farms. The As sociation of Superintendents of Public Instruction. for the Southern States, in their Birmingham meeting in 1904, pub lisbed to. the South this inquiry: Are not your children as good as the best and do they not deserve the best? The answer must come from the plain peo- pie of these Southern States. Shall 1t be an everlasting may. or an everlast- ing yea? Everlasting 1t must be. Upon the answer hangs the blight or blessing of millions of minds. the bond age of freedom of millions of souls. the weai-or woe of the fairest land op earth may be the destiny of nation. fhe prosperity of a government. the most beneficient the sun shines on"
 We must give to the world the fact that our Southland has led In this great movement of secondary industrial and agricultural education. Vulcan voiced our greatness: Just as my fig- ure towers above the sons of earth, so shall the district from whose breast the ore and coal were torn and fused to give me birth, exceed all others in times march. For OCT and OCT nature hath flung her treasures with a gener- ous hand. Bosh hemispherea may call on her. the mineral wealth of every land Is here allied to rule the world in future years" Coupled with this is the fact that the mills are now wooing the maiden fields where cotton grows.

Bold Captain Was Looking
 for q Place to Rob. Not to Buy

sondon, Jan .2.--A daring robbery .hy an accomplished and gentlemanly swindler fs engaging the attention of the Peterborough police. The story opens on the morning of Saturday last when . weli-sroomsd and well-set up man of military appearance drove up to Warrington Hall. near Peterbor- ough, and asked for the lady owner. who had advertised the house and es- tate for gale. He stated that he was in search of e hunting box, and he thought Warrington Hall would suit him. He was shown over the place. expressed himself as very weii pleased with 1t, and announced that he had decided to purchase 1t. The references peared quite authentic
 Moreover, the agreeable stranger stated that he was prepared to pay oyer a substantial sum as q deposit in the course of . few days. In the meantime he begged that he might be allowed to stay at the hall as he de- sired to install himself at the earliest possible moment with his servants aud hunters. and wished to personally su- pervise the painting. papering, etc, which he desired to have done.
 The request was readily aceedsd to. The "captain" took up his quarters at the hall. proceeding at once to hire a in Peterborough. and to give extensive orders to local tradesmen. How well the captain" played. his part may be judged from the fact that not the slightest suspicion of his bona fldeness was aroused.
 On Monday morning. however, sig incident occurred. One of the of the house. passing a bed- room. saw the captain on tine threshold.

WHEN SHORTENING A SKIRT.
Should Always Be Done from the Bot
tom-Two Methods That Are
Recommended.

To shorten a skirt do so from the
bottom, either by making tucks or cut
ting of the number OF inches from
the ground to make it the desired
length. When skirt is to be length
ened, do not attempt to piece it at the
top. One way to lengthen the skirt is
to turn 1t off evenly from the floor.
measure the difference between the
length desired and that which the
skirt has after 1t is trimmed evenly.
Cut piece of material twice the num-
ber of inches in width required to
make the desired length, and as many
inches around as the skirt measures
Allow one-half inch on all seams. Join
this extra piece to the skirt proper,
with the seam on the right side. Press
1t fiat with the edge down. Turn the
added piece up on the right side.
Measure from the waist line down the
length of the skirt, and turn the bal
ance of the piece up on the right side.
Fold in half an inch at the edge, and
baste the edge over the Joining. Stitch
double row of stitching, sewing on
the applied hem, onenaf thes extreme
edge and the other about one-quarter
of an inch from it. Press this fiat,
and you have trimming as well as
an added length.
