WISE WORDS.

No man knows anything about the
divine friendship who does not ex-
nibit human friendliness.
The noblest work often lies nearest.
Only putty life is afraid of being
worn out.
The battle of without goes as goes
the battle within.
Duty has stern face only when
viewed askance.
You cannot become one of the tools
of the infinite if you flee from his an
vii.
No advantage is smaller than that
gained by taking advantage of a
friend.
The man who always does what he
wants Is rarely wanted for what he
does.
The best evidence of loyalty to
truth is liberality enough to give all
truth q chance.
Some are interested deeply in
cross-bearing, but only as long as
some one else is doing it,
Some folks think they are resting
in their faith because they always fall
asleep in church.
1t is not strange that men lose the
faculty of reverence when they do all
their worshiping before a mirror

Why Their silverware Lasts.

are extremely hospitable. Some

ivory. You never, however, eat with
them again. When you have been
shown that family possesses them,
that ends it. You eat thereafter from
everyday ware.
What would the silver be like
for our descendants if we used it
often?" an old lady asked me. what
would we have if our ancestors had
been careless? "-Harper's Bazaar.

Modern Farm Methods
AS Applied in the South.
Notes of Interest TO Planter,
Fruit Grower and StOckrman

Tier in the upper sections. Mr.. Dauth-
ridge. in Edgecombe County, made
some years ago fine crop of wheat
sown in December, but in any of the
upper parts of the State that would
be entirely too late to give the wheat
fair chance, while it might do in
low& Georgia and Alabama.
AZ to the amount of seed to be
used, would SOW more on thin land
than on strong land, for it will tiller
less. On the best wheat soil five to
six pecks per acre, and on thin soil
seven pecks or even two bushels per
acre will be none too much. Get seed
wheat, If practicable, south of you
rather than north, for south wheat is
sown later and ripens earlier, and
hence earliness is promoted by going
south for seed. In the days Of the old
Blue Stem White wheat it was COM
mon for Maryland farmers to get seed
from North Carolina, and they found
this to be an advantage in earliness.
h Where one has MANFRED clover
sod turned for corn, the only fertilizer
that will be needed on red clay soil
will be about 400 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre, and on sandy or
grey soil an addition of twenty-five
pounds of muriate of potash will be
an advantage. Always drill the seed
with wheat drill, and never follow
the old practice of sowing broadcast
and narrowing in. See that the seed
is clean, plump and heavy, for great
deal depends on the vigor of the
plants, and you cannot expect strong
plants from shrivelled seed.
You will have no cheat unless you
SOW the seed with the wheat or have
3land already infested with cheat seed.
Cheat is more common among oats in
the South than among wheat, for the
cheat seed is very much like small
oat, and farmers SOW them with the
oats without suspecting their pres
ence. Then the winter may be hard
and the oats get killed, but the hardy
cheat grows, and the farmer, seeing
green leaves, imagines that it is oats
till it heads out, and then he thinks
his oats have turned to cheat. No
man ever had any cheat but what
came from cheat seed which was in
the ground or was sown with the
grain. Farmer.

Love-Making on shipboard.

While the promenader on the
ocean steamer, the. first day out, is
reaping the benefit of his amuse-
ment by cursory study of the deck
chair occupants, the latter are being
diverted by an inventory of the prom
lenader's physical and sartorial at
itractions-and they are quits. Quite
aside from the scenery and novelties
which the steamer will reach pres
emily is the favorite amusement in
which all indulge-that of watching
the budding and gradual development
of the little romances which are as
much part of a cruising steamers
life as is the throb of it's engines.
Not infrequently month of contin-
!ued companionship, such as the deck
of a Hamburg cruiser affords, re-
suits in serious heart entanglements.
This may be the reason why so many
rich but not especially fascinating
misses, and so many poor but appar-
emily eligible youths, both matri-
monially inclined, are to be found
enjoying the impromptu friendships
of ship life. If one is endowed with
a sense of humor the mental tonic
may be felt from the first day, with
no other exertion than observing
life's comedy presented on deck

CuItivating CantaIoupes.

A thorough preparation of the soil
before it is planted to cantaloupes
will very much lessen the necessity
for so much cultivating afterwards,
but a great deal depends upon fire.
quent and thorough cultivation dur
ing the early stages in the growth of
cantaloupes; at first it should be deep
and thorough, but not close enough
to disturb the plants; the Civilizations
should be more shallow and further
from the hills as the plants develop.
The grower who cultivates deep and
close to the hill because the vines do
not prevent him, is cutting off one
source of early cantaloupes. He
should study the growth of the roots,
for they form the counterpart of the
vines on the surface, only they ramify
the soil more thoroughly and to
greater distance than the length OF
the vines.

LIKE LOW TENSION
WORK IN THE STORE.
Women Leaving Factories For
Positions With Less Pay in Mer-
camille Establishments.

Every year, in increasing numbers,
women are flying from the monotony
and high tension Of factory work to
the more varied and lower geared
work which the store offers them.
A store can get for Sc the kind Of
girl who will earn $40 in a shoe fac
tory, says William Hard in Every
body's. And the glove factory girl
who is worn out will surrender her
$3.50 week and go to work as be-
ginner in store for SIS.
She pays $3.50 a week at the
start, for the difference between fac
tory conditions and store conditions,
and it is Overwhelmingly probable
that her term of enlistment in indus
try will be concluded before she can
climb back to the $3.50 level in her
new occupation.
Between sub-human toll in fac
tory and sub-human wages in store
the choice is difficult, but year by
year, especially among girls of the
most highly developed temperaments,
it inclines toward the store.
One method, therefore, of improv-
ing store wages is to improve factory
toll.

How WOmen'S Hats Preserve +;
the Mississippi LeVess.

1t is difficult to see the connection
between women's hats and the levees
along the Mississippi River, never
theless, absurd as this may appear in
a bare statement of fact. it is the
truth. During the past fall and win
|. ter feminine headdresses, in the form
of the fashionable fur turbans, have
indirectly been instrumental In pre-
serving intact the great stretches Of
embankment which restrain the pow
erful Mississippi from sweeping over
the surrounding country. The me-
dunn through which this interesting
state of affairs has come about is the
muskrat.
In practically every instance the
original cause of creVasse along the
river front has been traced to musk
rats hole, and though the State Of
Louisiana has tried in numerous ways
to exterminate these pests, their num-
bers seemed to increase. Unwittingly
the milliners of New Orleans came
to the rescue when they purchased
several hundred muskrat furs from
trappers in the neighborhood, and
this new trimming for the jaunty lit.
tie turbans Immediately sprang into
popularity. Hunters quickly learned
of this demand for "rats," and great
numbers of pelts were poured upon
the market, bringing an average price
of twenty cents apiece. Without great
difficulty an experienced trapper
might secure several dozen skins
daily, and this industry became de.
cidedly more profitable than cunning
for ducks and other game. 1t now
appears very probable that Louisiana
may rid herself entirely Of the bur.
rowing rodents which have eadan.
gered her cities and cost the State
many thousands of dollars annually.
