The Sanity Of Paris.

Tho French live within their means

known to us manage to save and re-
tire to enjoy whatever fortune mas

Smith in Success Magazine. To them
France is sufficient. They voyage
rarely and gamble less. The spend

bourse, the races and the gaming Ia
BILE is regarded by the masses IN the
light OF a rogue and fool. The Pa
risians work hard enough for their
leisure, but they never eliminate 1t nor
allow their work to encroach upon
their traditional daily vacation. as

LONG and Short Story Writers.

Which are the great short stories OF
the English language? Not a bad
basis for debate! This | am sure Of
that there are far fewer supremacy
good short stories than there are stl'
premely good long books. 1t takes
more exquisite skill to carve tile
cameo than the statue. But the
strangest thing is that the two excel
lences- seem to be separate and even
antagonistic Skill in the one by no
means insures skill in the other. The
great masters of our literature. Field
ing, Scott. Dickens. Thackeray and
Reade, have left no single short story
OF outstanding merit behind them.
with the possible exception of Wan
dering Willie's tale In Red Gauntlet
;, On the other hand, men who have
been very great in the short story,
Stevenson, Poe and Bret Harte, have
written no great book The champion
sprinter is seldom II five miller as well
Poe Is the master of all. Poe is, tp
my mind, the supreme original short
story writer of all time.-Conan Doyif

Growing WatermeIons.

My plan tor growing WatermelOnS is
to select piece Of ground that has been
given a rest period of at least two years,
or longer is better.
In the fall turn under deeply with a
three-horse disc plow. Let lie until
winter, then lay off rows twelve feet
apart with a middle burster, subsoil III
same furrow; fill furrow with stable
manure and ridge; this leaves two open
burrows. Early in the spring put down
a high grade fertilizer at the rate of
1000 pounds per acre. Begin by drill
ing in the open furrow, cover this by
opening another furrow, one on each
side, putting the fertilizer in each furrow
until we have, at least, six burrows to
each row.
The idea is to not heap the fertilizer,
but get it farther from the truck. Let
this lie until time to plant then open a
furrow in the centre with an ordinary
scoop, put down fertilizer at the rate of
100 pounds per acre; run a small furrOw
over this before planting seed; now
plant seed eight feet apart, putting eight
Or ten seed at a place. Cover with
light double foot Shortly before the
seed comes up run a weeder over the
entire ground.
Cultivate often, but shallow, as
long as possible without injury to vines.
Use the weeder occasionally between
the rows
If large melons are desired thin out
to one stalk at first working if smaller
melons and greater number are want
ed, leave two stalks to a hill. At the
last blowing broadcast light coat of
cottonseed-mea1 and nitrate of soda, SO
pounds each to the acre, and plow under,
sowing peas also; they will serve as
shade for the melons and also return
handsome crop of peas.
