TO KNOW HOW.

In an address delivered to some college
students some time before his death the
late Senator E. w Carmack impressed
upon his hearers the importance of dis
tinguishing between mere knowing and
knowing how which measures the diff
ference between the learned man and
the practical man. There are those who
know great deal, but who, when it
comes to putting such knowledge into
practical application, are as helpless as
infants.
Illustrating his proposition, Mr.. Car
mack said "a blacksmith who shoes a
horse we'll is better educated man than the
man who can read Greek, but who cam
not make living for himself, or lend
a helping hand to his neighbor."
The thought which the thoughtful man
finds with too much of the education
of the modern schools is, not that if fails
to teach the student knowledge, because
too often it Grams his mind full of unas-
sorted facts which are hindrances rather
than help in the struggle of success
The student is taught to know, rather
than know how, the consequence being
that when, in his efforts to uplift him
self, he collides with one who has but
little knowledge, but knows that little
well-who has not the vast resources of
the schools back of him, but who under
stands well how to apply his limited fund
of knowledge to the necessities of his Sit
uation, he goes down in the struggle.
How often do we see men who have
enjoyed every educational advantage fall
ing to meet successfully the practical tests
to which they are subjected in business,
in the professions, and in social life. Such
failures, in the tragic effect, reminds
one of the splendid ship that, sailing
upon SUMMER seas with every inch of
canvas spread, strikes the hidden rock
and goes down.
The one who knows, merely, IS
but poorly equipped for achieving any
great success. The man who possesses
knowledge and in addition knows how
to apply that knowledge successfully, is
well-rounded man to whom people look
when important tasks are to be
undertaken. To know, merely, is
know how is but to have the intel
fectuaI work shop arranged in perfect
order and equipped with effective tools,
each fitted to the masters hand.

RARE AND INTERESTING ROCKS.

The rarest and most interesting rocks
that are ever found on the face of the
earth are meteors that fall out of the sky. I
Nobody knows just where they are formed
up there. Some thinks that they are parts
of comets or pieces of stars that have
broken loose, or that they have been hurled
out of other worlds or planets by great
volcanoes, and were thrown so far that
the attraction of their world was not
strong enough to draw them back. Other
wise men think that they are formed right
here in the atmosphere that is around our
earth. They are all very heavy with iron,
and most all have diamond crystals in
them; and when one strikes the earth, it
sinks far down nito the dirt, and even
pieces through thick rock
There is a place in Arizona, near Cam
yon Diablo, where large noted meteor
ard many thousand smaller ones have
been discovered, and where men are Dig
gin gfor more. They expect to find one
large and heavier than any ever yet dis
covered The spot where they have been
found is on an open plain, and large
circle of dirt stands there surrounding
about fifteen acres. When you are ap-
preaching it, the appearance is that of
low hill; but when you climb to the topg
you find that it extends round in a circYl
about a quarter of mile in diametG
On the inside there is a hollow, and In
the very center there is a deep hole-nos
body knows how deep-flled up. almost
completely with dirt and rocks On the
inside of this circle and in the vicinity
many meteorites have been found, and
company of men are digging out the hole
to find the bottom. They think that the
greatest meteor that ever fell on earth
made that hole, and thaht when ii struck
the earth it knocked up that circle of dirt,
and that the smaller ones that have been
found near were swinging round it when
it fell, like our moon swings round our
earth
Now, one peculiar thing about meteors
is that they nearly all have diamonds in
them. Some of the diamonds are pure and
sparkling, and are worth hundred dol
lars for a stone no bigger than bird
shot, and others are just as hard, just as
pure carbon and black as JET. Now the SCI
entists are beginning to think that the.
diamonds are formed in meteors, and that
the long pipe holes thta run out from th
diamonds mines in South Africa and eli
where are holes made by meteors whts
they shot in from the sky.
/ am not sure what this hole in tiFu
circle of dirt in Arizona will turn opt
to be; but if it was made by Meteor,
it must have given the earth a Great jolt /
As to the diamonds, when God wishes
to make a diamond, he could crystalize
the carbon to make diamond as well as
he can the water to make snowflake, or
the salt on dry beach, or the quartz
deep down in the earth.

DIR. CHAs. WARD STILES ON HOOK
WORM SITUATION

"The most serious menace in the south
today is that of the hookworm," declared
DIR. Chrales Warde Stiles, of the United
States public health service, in addressing
the opening session of the first national
conference called for the study of this
disease
While specimens of the hookworm
have been found in New England states,
the middle west and the northern Pacific
states, the disease is primarily one of warm
climates and is generally prevalent in the
South Atlantic and Gulf states.
On the negro is placed the responsibility
for the presence of the disease in the Uni
ted States. DR.. Stiles said that the hook
worm found here has been traced to the
west coast of Africa, "and it undoubtedly
was brought here by the negro
In this connection Dr. Stiles called at
tention TO the fact thta while the ne
gro had given to the whites the hook
worm, tuberculosis had been presented
to the negro by the whites, and today
the death rate from consumption among
the negroes of the south is three times
the toll of that disease among the whites.
twenty-five per cent of the cotton mill
employees of the south are infested with
the hookworm, said DR.. Stiles, who based
the statement on personal visits made to
12S mills in the north and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Missis-
sippi. The mills in the sandy sections
of these states showed much higher per-
Centage of infection than did those of the
Piedmont or clay sections. In the mills
of Atlanta the infection was found to be
less than S per cent.
In some of the rural communities of the
south, where there is an absolute lack OF
sanitary arrangement, 90 per cent of the
inhabitants are infected.
More than $50 physicians and represen-
tatives of life insurance companies and
commercial organizations, from all sec
tionS of the United States were present
at the opening session of the conference,
which will continue for two days.

MISSISSIPPI SCHOOL APPRoPRIA-
TTON.

Mississippians forget politics when the
good of the state is at issue. Forgetting for
the minute the intense feeling which is
disturbing the state, and which grows
out of the senatorial complications, the
legislature on Monday passed the common
school bill which appropriates 100000
for the promotion of the educational in
terests Of Mississippi.
This was a very wise and important
measure. 1t will do great deal to fur
Their identify the state as one Of the most
progressive in the south. The vote was
Sc for, and against the measure which
shows how nearly unanimous the sentiment
of the Mississippi law makers is when it
comes to appropriations for the general
public good.
Fractional differences were forgotten in
the consideration of this bill.
T7-ts will be great help to the state
board of education in establishing more
complete system Of rural schools. Missis-
sippi is already endowed with many no.
bic institutions Of learning. Universities
and have brought prosperity and distinc-
ton to her sons and daughters. The ap-
preparation reaches deeper 1t reaches
out into the obscure sections and provides
the means of education for those who can
least afford it. 1t makes possible the final
education of the masses and epuips the
children Of the future with opportunities
Of surprising advantage.
1t is characteristic of the state that has
maintained distinct individuality for its
superior wisdom through the march of
years.-Commercial Appeal

ALICE WANTED A HUSBAND.

"AIice in search of husband" is the
title of a drama which has been working
itself out in Johnstontown, Pa, and upon
which the postoffice department has
placed its ban. A fraud order against
the mail addressed to Alice Preston,
of Johnstown, has been issued by the
department.
1t appears that Alice has made it
a practice to advertise in various pub
lications for husband When a re-
ply was received from a man he was
to defray travelling expenses to the home
of the gentleman whom she would marry.
Several complaints were made to the de-
partnent against the conduct of the woman,
but for some time the compliments refused
to allow their names to be used to push
their claims and for that reason she con-
tinued to do business.
A man at Maybury, Pa, sent Alice
Peterson $3.50 to pay her car fare
from Iohnstontown to Maybury, p a, with the
understanding that they would be married
upor her arrival, the woman did not go to
Maybury nor offer any explanation for
their failure to do so but appropriated the
money.
The inspector corresponded with a unm-
Der of other persons with whom the Pc
terscn woman was communicating but
none of them would acknowledge the send.
ing Of money to her with a view to matri-
mony. In February, 1909, complaint
was received from a man at Eugene, Or
egon, who alleged that he had been de-
frauded of $IIo by Alice Peterson. The
money being sent to her after an agree
of residence and marry him; she failed
either to 60 to Eugene or to return his
money.
The inspector on his investigation found
that Alice Peterson was receiving large
amount of mail, including registered let
tiers, and that she had cashed number of
money orders at the Jamestown postofice.
Correspondence was taken up with the
senders of the money and registered let
tiers. Many of them failed to reply, one
claimed to have sent money to her to
pay a board bill, another claimed not to
have any recollection of sending her mon
ey,but FIVE of them forwarded their CORES
pondencc from the accused with state
merits of the amounts of money forwarded
TO Alice Peterson The letters sent to the in
spector were shown to the Peterson wom-
an, who acknowledged having written
these different persons. She advanced the
claim she Intended to select the one whom
she liked best, to marry him and return
the money to the others This Claim
the inspector insisted was false as the
woman, whose maiden name was Alice
Walls, had husband living, from whom
she had not been divorced

KINDNESS OF THE WELL BRED
In Mississippi Baptist.

A well-bred person never forgets the
rights of another, nor forgets respect
due to old age. The well-bred person
never under any circumstances causes
another grief or pair, and in conversa-
ton avoids contradiction and argument.
He will not boast of any achievement,
especially to the less fortunate, and he
will not talk about his own troubles or
ailments; people may be sorry, but do
not care to hear such things.
He will not be unwise enough to think
that good intentions never carried out
compensate for bad manners, and will
not bore his companions by exhortations
upon "self" or any private affairs. He
will never make remarks about the Pc
cularities of others; we all have pecu-
liarities if we looked for or acknowl-
edged them. He does not use bad lam
suage; he does not forget promise or
an engagement Of any kind; if it is
worth making it is worth keeping.
He is agreeable and courteous to ESQ.,

erious (often so called also) and will only
have ore set Of manners for home and
abroad.
He will not when at table eat so
noisily as to be heard by others, or drop
toast in his soup or "sop" up sauces on
bis plate with pieces of bread; he will

never fill his mouth and try to enter
into conversation. He will not attract
attention in public places by loud talk
or laughter In short, his refinement of
manner and gentleness of speech will
shine forth upon all occasions and at all
times
