lives; they will not fill their own
empty hearts; they will not save them
selves by saving humanity.
Instead of ignoring and despising
those whom they look upon as infer
iors, but who are simply less favored
by fortune, these women could take
them by the hand and lift them up to
a higher plane and tell them that
only true worth counts. They could
talk to them about the things vital to
their interests and advise them as to
the best course to pursue. They could
arrange games, sociables, entertain
ments, where an elevating influence
could be exerted and the miAs1 be i'm
proved while the body was relaxed.
They could arrange for debates on
current questions in which the social
problems could be discussed, with a
view to lettering the conditions of
the masses without widening the
breach between them and the classes;
papers could be read and all matters
of local interest discussed. In a short
time there would be marked i'm
provement in the community if the
society ladies'" took this initiative
Thought would grow, conscience ex-
pand, confidence develop, resentment
pass away, and good feeling take its
place.
They could take the poor little waits
of the street on picnics and excurs-
ions where they would see a bit Of
Gods blue sky and feel His pure air
and sunshine, and make them laugh
and play as human being, and not hide
their little heads like scared rats in
trap.
They could go into the homes of the
poor mothers and comfort them by
cherry words and kind smiles.
They could visit the sick and soothe
them with their presence, bring them
little flower and read an interesting
book.
They could start improvement soci-
cites to get better homes and more
congenial surroundings.
They could make the churches true
centers of social intercourse.
They could rent halls where harm
less amusements could be enjoyed and
thus furnish practical substitute for
the saloon.
They could have gymnasiums where
the Eealth of the body could be con-
served and strong muscles and stout
arms perfected.
They could treat all these less for
tunate than themselves as fel1ow-be-
ings, counsel, advise, exhort, encour-
age them to do what is right, shun
what is wrong and in every way en-
deavor to lead them up the sunny
height to success and happiness,

THE DYING DRUMMER.

A gay and handsome travelling man
Lay on bed of pain,
All hope had passed, his life fed fast'
He ne'er would rise again.
Have you no sweetheart, fair ana
true"
They whispered DER hts bed,
Whom you would tell last fare
WELL"
The young man softly said:
There's Daisy Black in Burlington,
And Hattie up in Blair,
There's Millie back in Lincoln Town,
And Mary in st. Clair,
And at Des Moines there's Esther,
dear,
Whom I must surely see,
And Anna up at Waterloo,
Please bring them all to me-.
The watchers stared in wild surprise,
And then THEY said once more,
Come tell US, pray, without delay,
The girl whom you adore,
The girl whom you have sworn to love
And bring both wealth and fame,
Your promised wife, your hope and
life,
Quick, let us hear her name"
There's Maggie up at Boone" he
said,
"Mamye at Waterloo,
There's Violet at Winterest,
And Maud at old ST. Joe
And Genevieve at Davenport,
And Bertha at St. Paul"
The young man sighed, cts time
died,
I've sworn to wed them all"

SONG.
(Henry Van Dyke.)

Above the edge of dark appear the
lances of the sun;
Along the mountain-ridges clear his
rosy heralds run.
The vapors down the valley go
Like broken armies, dark and low
Look up, my heart, from every hill
In folds of rose and daffodil
The sunrise banners flow.
o fly away on silent wing, we boding
owls of night
o welcome little birds that sing the
cOming-in of light
For new, and new, and ever-new,
The golden bud within the blue;
And every morning seems to say:
There's something hapy on the way
And God sends love to youi"

EGGS KEEP FOR CENTURY

When Ii Hung Chang made his tour
of the world his commiSSariat carried
with it supply of Chinese preserved
eggs for the venerable ambassadors
special use. Some of these eggs were
exhibited in New York while he was
staying here, and few experts had
the temerity to sample. "They were
not so bad after ALL" said one connois-
seur, although by their looks you
would think they would come under
the ban of the pure food law
The egs were encased in clay and
when unpacked looked like pieces of
pumice stone. They are preserved in
this way by the Chinese for a century
or more. The process of keeping is
very primitive, but as effective as it is
simple The eggs are first boiled hard,
and then while they are hot they are
packed away.
In this condition the Chinese claim
they will keep forever and not lose
their flavor or whOlesOmeness. Indeed,
they consider that age improves the
flavor. Ii Hung Chang's commissariat
brought the eggs for his personal use
in bags placed in rice husks, but as
the clay was hard there was not much
danger of breaking them. When
opened the white" was found to be
almost black and the yolks green. The
flavor however, was preserved. The
Chinese chop these preserved boiled
eggs and decorate most of their Viands
with them They also enter largely
into all their sauces.
Duck eggs are also preserved by the
Chinese in somewhat similar fashion.
There is a considerable trade in duck
eggs of the Peking and MuscoVy
breed, and many Chinese in this coun-
try import them from China in the
preserved condition. The duck eggs
are boiled and preserved in a paste of
charcoal instead of clay.-Harper' s
Weekly.

WESTERN METHODS IN THE EAST

A Swing around the harvest circle"
just before and during the time crops
are gathered in various states of the
Union has a fascination far exceeding
even tour of Europe. 1t deals with
the one basic resource of a great coun-
try, upon which immense industrial and
commercial interests are founded; while
in Europe one chiefly visits the ruins
of ancient art and bygone glories To
pass through and inspect the great
fields of the republic, watching the
growing crops and marking the Titanic
operations of the greater agriC Cultural
sections in harvest time, is an eX
perience full of inspiring incidents.
The harvests of 1910 are estim lted in
the aggregate to equal in value those
of the bumper year of 1907, although in
some states there have been serious
droughts and partial crop failures. The
diversification of crops and farm in
dustries has minimized the losses of the
early days. when nearly all the farmers
of any given section depended upon one
staple crop.
In New England, although the hay
crop has been heavier than any known
for years, and the corn and some
cereals excel even the yield of the fer
tile valleys of Ohio, the acreage is so
comparatively small that it fails to
give one any adequate idea of the greet
harNestS which overflow the granarieS
and markets of the world.
In the fertile Connecticut valley,
Massachusetts claims for her green
fields of broad-leaved tobacco an aver
age crop of fine quality In some
orchards the irrigation pans that have
been so successful on a large scale in
the west have been adopted to good
advantage. Think of irrigation in New
misunderstanding from the brooEs
and rivers of which her poets have
sung so sweetly in the golden age of
New England literature. - National
Magazine.

THE ARAB PLoWMAN

To see an Arab steering a yoke of
oxen, one hand pressed on the single
stem of the plow and the other hold
ing the long, slim goad is to see a liv
ing illustration of how Elisha looked
and moved when Elijah found him
plowing and cast his cloak upon him
in significant symbolism of his destiny.
1t has often been remarked that while
imperishable relics of Roman stone
work abound in Northern Africa in the
form of bridges, aqueducts and so on,
the impress left on the people them
selves by the greatest civilizing power
that ever existed is extraordinarily
slight. Only in some such significant
details as the names of the months in
the Kablye dialect is the stamp of
Rome still visible. and in the system
of hiring labor in the Tell there sur
wives u custom belonging to the early
days of the Roman republic.-Wide

MONEY IN TRUCK FARMING

The most sensational disclosure to
agriculturists has just been made by
Francis Sestier of Des Moines, Iowa,
young man who has made $4,000
worth of permanent improvements in
a 32-acre farm in the last seven years
and paid for it all from the product of
the soil 1t is a demonstration of what
application will dc.
Francis Sestier Is the son of a Frent
stonecUtter who came to Des Moines
in 1875 to work on the construction Of
the state capitol. But stonecutting is
an unhealthy business, and one day he
determined to quit it. He bought a
farm within sight of the golden dome
of the state house he had helped to
construct and struggled along for
years, paying off the mortgages and
at the same time raising a family.
Seven years ago he died, and his son
Francis took the active management.
1t is he who has worked the miracle of
the SOIL
He has turned the farm into a truck
garden, which is now said to be the
finest truck farm west of the Missis-
sippi river. The beauty of his success
is that, unlike truck gardeners of the
east he does not have to spend great
sums of money for fertilization. During
all these years his fertilization has not
cost him more than so cents an acre
a year.
Among the permanent improvements
built since 1901 and paid for from this
small farm are an $4,000 house, under
which is a modern cold storage; a
steam pumping plant that draws water
from the river a half mile away and
lifts it 145 feet into a monster reser-
Yoir and eight greenhouses.
Mr.. Sestier by his management is
making his farm yield a gross income
of $500 or $400 an acree. Like every
successful man, Mr.. Sestier can hand e
some things better than others. To-
matoes seem to be his favorite crop.
He introduced the method of raising
tomatoes on poles and plants 5000 vines
to the acre, getting a yield of $50
bushels of perfect fruit that brings the
highest price on the market. He makes
as much as $2500 on lettuce in a year.
Such figures for 32-acre farm in Iowa
are sensational, to say the least espe-
cially when they are made to come by
the son of a French stonecutter who
knew nothing of agriculture and who
never attended an agricultural college.

A PECULIAR ORCHID

An orchid that mas been discovered
recently in South America takes
drink whenever it feels thirsty by let
ting down a tube into the water When
not in use the tube is coiled up on top
of the plant
One hot Afternoon, as the discoverer
was seated under some brushwood at
the side of a lagoon on the Rio de la
Plata, says HarpeI's Weekly among
the orchids he noted one different from
all the rest. the leaves of lance head
shape. growing all around the root and
radiating from it. From the center or
stem about one-eighth of an inch thick
and n quarter of an inch wide. The
lower end of this was in the water to
a depth of about four inches
The botanist at once went over to
examine his discovery and to his sur
prise. when he touched the plant the
center stem gradually contracted and
convusively rolled itself into a SPIRAL
like roll of tape. 1t was found on ex-
animation that the stem was a long,
slender, fiat tube, open at the outer end,
and connected at the inner end to the
roots by a series of hairlike tubes.
Subsequent observations disclosed the
fact that when the plant was in need
of water this tube would gradually un-
wind till it dipped into the lake. Then
carrying with it the quantity of water
that the part of the tube which had
been immerced contained. When the
final coil was made the water was
poured as it werc, directly into the
roots of the plant. The coil remained
in this position until the plant required
more water.

TREE CLAIMS OF DAKOTA

On the prairies of South Dakota
where an effort has been made in
early years toward tree culture, the
tree claims are proving a success. One
farmer friend had found a new insect
playing hob in his garden.

darned thing back to Uncle Jim Will
son, and got a letter back from the
department without even a postage
stamp on it, telling me what kind of
a critter it was, and what to do to
get rid of 'em.
"And I saved my trees. too" he eX-
ultted. as he took me through an ex-
panse of highly cultivated fruit trees.
