Coal Ashes Are Worth Saving.
In many sections of the country coal
is the principal winter fuel used by
farmers and large quantity of ashes
result which are usually looked on as
waste, but an authority says there is
more value in coal ashes thar is gel
orally realized by the farmer For the
amelioration OF heavy clay land they
are exceptionally valuable. This is
particularly so with the asfes of soft
coal, as such usually are reduced al
most TO a dust. Coal ashes have =
fertilizer value. This opinion, how
ever, is not held generally. The coal
Deds contain phosphorus, potash, nitro
gen and lime, as well as the other less
important ingredients. When the orig
inal trees out of which were formed
the coal beds were reduced to coal the
mineral elements remained in them,
and consequently those same elements
so with the ashes.
One reason why people have formed
an idea that coal ashes contain no fer
tility Is that the trees now grown
have In them less carbon than those in
the old days and thus the percentage
of other elements to carbon is prob
ably greater now than then, which
gives larger value to our wood ashes,
but does not annihilate the value in
the coal ashes Ashes can be used 10
advantage without sitting, but large
quantities of half-burned coal are by
some considered a detriment to the
soil.-Rural World

The Prose Translation.


The difficulty of forcing the door of
the understanding is amusingly illus
trated in a story related by Mrs.
Roger A. Pryor in her recent book,
MY Day: "reminiscences of a Long
Life" Mrs. Pryor's daughter. Mrs.
Rice, once attempted to introduce
William Cullen Bryant to a class of
poor white boys she was teaching at
Q night-schooi in her home on a plan
tation in Virginia.
She had taught them to read and
write, had given them some arithmetic
and geography. even some Latin, and
was then minded to awaken the es-
thetic instincts which she believed
must exist in the poor fellows. She
read the beautiful poem ITO Water
Fowl
Now, boys" she eagerly said, tell
me how you would feel if you had seen
this?"
There was dead silence Appealing
TO the most hopeful of her pupils, she
received an enlightening response:
Il wouldn't think nuthin'"
What would you say?" she persist
ed.

COUNTS PRICE OF PROGRESS.
Race Has Paid Highly for Develop.

ment of Past Century.
What, then, let US ask, has been the
price of this century of unprecedented
progress? To begin with, we have
grown distrustful of enthusiasm, and
have become somewhat cynical and
superficial withal. We skim the sur
face of life; without time to make our
impressions our own. We are on the
way to become a spiritually impover-
ished people, somewhat lacking in the
generous qualities which can sustain
a great friendship or splendid
dream We are ultra-sophisticated, YET
easily deluded. In the place of rest,
appreciation, we have acquired unrest
We are like men who, while follow
ing the chase, have forgotten what is
the quarry. If it is happiness we are
pursuing, who knows but what she
has doubled on her tracks and is now
behind US, Yet we strain breathIessly
forward, never pausing to ask, ITO
what purpose?"
Having become cogs in the great
machine that we ourselves have build
ed, how are We to snatch opportunity
for thought, for contemplation, for the
leisurely savoring of life, amid the
ceaseless whirring of the wheels? Is
mediocrity to be the price the race
must pay for its civilization? The
modern schedule leaves 70 time for
the secretion Of these by-products OF
the soul which give Joy and distinc-
ton TO life. If the race continues to
cut itself of more and more from
this sustaining communion, where at
last will we turn for leaders. or even
for men?-W. G. Roberts, in Crafts

All IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Woman No Longer Has the Outlook
of CrfaoIfne and HOopskfrt Days.

Woman No Longer Has the Outlook
of CrfaoIine and Hoopskirt Days.
Because woman did almost every
thing during 1909 there is every rea-
son to believe that she will do almos.
anything that's left during 1910. She's
out to beat her record, and the annals
of her own achievements prove that
she can do it.
This is a logical question-an-answer
series if consideration, be given to the
activities of woman last year, to the
general range of her activities during
the last decade, to the declarations OF
prominent women leaders an TO the
possibilities Of the future.
Every year during the last decade
has seen women going farther and
farther ahead, has seen them entering
new phases Of endeavor and witnessed
them making good" in all kinds or
professional work, business work,
handicrafts and in-by no odds least
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fields of sport.
There is by no means anything like
multiplicity of possible spheres of
endeavor left for women. But those
that are possible and not yet essayed
may reasonably be expected to be tried
during this year.
We are now in the last year of the
first decade of the goth century, and
during that decade women have as
sumed a position of Importance as far
as the workaday world is concerned
the great, big battling world of
strength and brains that lies outside
the walls of home-which they never
even considered as possibility in the
days Of crinoline and hoop skirts.
And prominent observers see yet
more surprising things in the future.
This is what Lady Henry Somerset,
one of England's most brilliant women,
has to say on the allabsorbing sub
ject: Whatever may be our opinion
as to the desirability of her notoriety
| it is quite certain that the opening
of this century will be remembered as
one in which woman came into her
own kingdom.
Whether it is lawful heritage or
rot must remain for the time being
controversy, but that she has firm
ly planted her feet on the steps Of the
throne and is rapidly ascending to
take her seat by the side Of her lord
and reign in perfect equality is quite
undoubted.
I'VE take up our newspapers day by
day, or we read the current literature
OF our time, and everywhere the word
Woman, with a capital w, is to hs
found. Is Woman to do this? Is
Woman to do that? These are the
questions that are being asked. The
problem novel deals with the question
from a new point of view. The lead
ing articles in our papers are bound to
admit without reserve that she is an
important factor in the veal or woe
of her country.
THE subordinate position which she
occupied a short time ago she has now
ceased to hold. We have been told
with sickening reiteration that Wom-
an has never achieved, but little by
little the truth is leaking out that
wherever Woman has had the oppor-
tunity of so doing she has come into
her own"

Another Joshua.

down in a Southern State, who was
proud of his familiarity with Scrip

in from the mountain, district under
suspicion of maintaining an illicit

against him.
What's your name, prisoner"
asked the Judge, as he peered at the
shambling black man.
Nah names Joshua, jedge," was
the reply.

rubbed his hands. Joshua, you say?
Are you that same Joshua spoken of
in Holy Writ-the Joshua who made

Do You Dread Mondays?

Most women do, when Monday
means to them a hot, steaming, smelly
house because it is washday. If they
would use Easy Task laundry soap
they would find that the clothing and
linen were cleaner and sweeter when
finished, and that the work is done in
half the time, with no fretting and
fussing and bad temper. Easy Task
soap takes the dirt out and doesn't
drive it in. It's white, pure soap;
bad in the cake and worse in the tub.
