Success.

LOndon.-The telegraphing of pic
lures from London to New York is u
problem at present engaging the at
tention OF scientists.
In lecture given before the Royal
Society of Arts. Thorne Baker said
Prof. Korn was likely to find a practi-
cal solution of the problem of sending
photographs by ordinary cable across
the Atlantic while he, himself, was
endeavoring to perfect wireless sys-
tenn for the same purpose. which al
ready had given promising results.
A series Of photographs was shown
illustrating the progress that has been
made since the first instruments of
Prof. Korn were installed in Novem-
Der, 1907.
The KOrn telautograph and the
Thorne Baker telectrograph enable
photographs of all kinds to be tele-
graphed for publication with a fair
measure of success. The improve
ment in the processes of transmits
sion within this relatively brief De-
Rod are striking.

TYPE NEVER FOUND
NO SUCH THING As A PERFECT
HUSBAND EXISTS.
But, to Be Quite Fair In the Matter,
Writer Also Asserts That There
10 No Such Thing, as .
Perfect Wife,

A distinguished lecturer, who has
also won fame in the pulpit. is going
around the country describing the per.
feet husband. and is received with de-
lighted audiences-of women. It is
much to be regretted that men are not
IN attendance. We are not aware that
there are many perfect husbands in
the world, and If the learned lecturer
has some new points which will in
crease the serenity Of the domestic
hearthstone the men should have
them.
1t does not seem to have occurred to
the women who are so enthusiastic
over this typical but unbound perfect
husband that he will never be happy
without perfect wife. We admit that
as rule women are better than men
In the large morals of life, but the
perfect one has not been discovered.
Hence the domestic squabbles, hence
the divorce courts, hence these tears.
The perfect husband has a large load
to carry, and 1t is much to be feared
that he finds life a burden at times
because of his lack of sympathy. The
perfect wife. If she exists, is always
saddled on to human imperfection of
the male variety and much is the fuss
made about 1t. Men are content, like
the humble beings that they are, to
take their troubles silently, but wives
feel that the world is entitled to know
the burden of their sorrows.
81, til i
There is neither a perfect man nor wo-
man in the world, and it isn't particu-
larly desirable that there should be
until the general average of humanity
is higher. What we want in this world
is all the contentment, happiness and
entertainment that is possible and
laudable 1t is impossible that there
should be quiet home without fric-
ton, but it is quite possible and essen.
tial that the difficulties be reduced to
the minimum.
The whole trouble with the matri-
monial situation to-day is that there is
so little OF the willing mind on either
side to seek an accommodation. In
married life there is a necessary com
promise between two individual ma
lures. Wise couples are willing to es
tablish home based on mutual help
The unwise couples rush to home and
mother and then to the divorce courts
People in this world who complain OF
trouble have usually themselves tc
blame. Most of the troubles we have
never happen, and such as occur may
for the most part be avoided The
perfect man and woman are not neces
sary, but the sensible man anu wifi,

make them happy in their own home

CHINESE CORN in SOUTHWEST
Small Lot Sent to unifsd States o.
partment Of Agriculture Con-
st6ered ExceiicHt

Washfngton.-As small lot Of sheiled
corn. Of kind that is now to this
country. was sent to the United States
department Of agriculture from Shang-
hal, China. In 1908. and tested the
same season. II proved to have quail
ties that may make it valuable in
breeding corn adapted to the hot
and dry conditions OF the southwest
The plants raised in the test aver
aged less than six feet In height, with
an average Of IL green leaves at the
time Of tasseling. The ears averaged
five and one-half inches in length and
four and one-third inches in greatest
circumference. with 16 to IS rows Of
small grains.
This corn Is very different from any
that Is now produced in America. It's
peculiar value is that the erect ar
rangement of the leaves on one side
OF the stalk and the appearance of
the silks in the angle where the leaf
blade joints the sheath offer a pro-
tected place in which pollen can set
tie and fertilize the silks before the
latter are ever exposed to the air
This Is an excellent ARRANGEMENT for
preventing the drying out of the silks
before pollination While this corn
may be of little value itself, It Is
likely that, by cross-breediny. these
desirable qualities can be impaired to
a larger corn, which will thus be bet
ter adapted to the southwest.
The discovery of this peculiar corn
in China suggests anew the idea that
although America is the original home
OF corn. yet it may by some means
have been taken to the eastern hem
isphere long before the discovery of
America by Columbus. From descrfp-
lions in Chinese literature corn is
known to have been established in
China within less than a century aft
er the voyage of Columbus. But this
seems short time for any plant to
have become widely known and used
Besides, this particular corn is so diff
ferent from anything in the new
world that it must have been de-
velored in the old world, and for that
to happen in natural way would
take very long time.

Gals amounts to enough to maintain
all the men in either of the outside
fire departments, and will Justice"
insist that it is proper to cut on a
fire department and throw three men
out of employment in order to avoid
cutting down the fees of an official,
whose duties under q Commission form
of government could be performed by
plenty of men in this city who are
not getting hundred dollars per
month.
Justice" says Wouldn't it be just
as fair to call on any other man or set
of men to sacrifice a considerable part
of their salaries as to call on the
city officials" If he-"Justice"-had
been business man, with thousands
of dollars invested in his business dur
ing the panic years and had had the
worry of pulling a business through
those disastrous times. and then had
on Jan. list, 1910. taken stock, and
when he had found that he had brok-
en- even on the business of three
years had been thankful and thought
himself fortunate, have no doubt but
that Justice" would never have de-
veloped such quantity of sympathy
as he has expressed for the city Oh
ficials.
The writer was this year called on
to pay one-third more taxes. in order
that no city official should have his
stipend decreased: yet l have been
unable to get the city to put down
a walk along its own property, so
that the people who wished to come
TO my place of business could have a
decent sidewalk for their convenience.
Does Justice appreciate that there
are lot of people who are not inter
ested in continually paying fees to
officials who can be dispensed
with, and especially when the
city cannot under its present income
do for its own property. what it has
compelled other property owners TO
do.

We admit and regret the fact that
England is far better known to our

We wish it were possible to extend
by any means among all persons Of
tolerable means and leisure on this
side a personal knowledge of the re.

lies in this, that after a few years our
experience or ideas of the United
States tend to fall behind the facts.

opportunity will register their disap-
prevail of a policy of government
which in trying to cut down expenses,
leaves the salary of one man at So

ficiency by cutting down the firemen,
school teachers and policemen. who
are compelled to deprive themselves
of some of the high-priced things
which are only in reach of a we'll

the amount paid other city Of

open the eyes of the laboring
people of Hattiesburg as 10 how many

EXTRA SESSION CALLED
New York Legislators Recalled to
Pass Direct Nomination Bills.
Sneaker Wadsworth Declares There
Will Be No Change in Verdict
Of Opposition Leaders.

Albany, N. Y.-The Legislature
adjourned sine die, but the final gavel
had scarcely fallen in Senate and AS
sembly before the Capitol corridors
became alive with rumors that the
members would soon be called back.
The Governors proclamation follows:
Pursuant to the power vested in
me by Section 4 of Article w. of the
Constitution, I hereby convene the
LEGISLATURE in extraordinary session
at the Capitol in the city of Albany
on Monday, the goth day of June.
1910. at $50 o'clock, post meridian.
"Given under my hand and the
privy seal of the State, at the Capitol
in the city of Albany. this 9th day
of May, in the year of our Lord n
thousand nine hundred and ten.
CHARLES E. HUGHES"
The Governor issued his proclama-
ton after consulting several members
In each House who have stood for the
primary reforms he has advocated.
1t is thoroughly understood at the
Capitol that the Governors Direct
Nominations plan will be the chief
topic submitted to the Legislature at
the special session.
A majority of the legislators had
already left Albany when the Gov
ernor made public his intention. Those
who remained felt non too happy
over the prospect. Speaker Wads-
worth and other leaders Of the oppo-
sition freely expressed the opinion
that there would be no change in the
legislative verdict on the Governors
plan, which has been beaten twice in
the Assembly, first through the defeat
of the Hinman-Green bill and later
through the defeat of the so-called
Cobb compromise bill, which did not
go quite so far in carrying out the d.
rect primary principle.
It may be predicted on good au-
thority that the recommendations OF
Governor Hughes when the Legislat-
ure for the extra session
will call not for a compromise meas
ure, but for a bill that will provide
for the Statewide application of the
direct primary principle, substantially
along the lines of the rejected Hin
man-Green bill. The Governor feels
that there is a strong and broad SEN
timent for the passage of just such a
measure, and that the urgency that
some primary reform be had at once
iustifes him calling the legislators
back.
At the conclusion of business in the
Senate the gavel was turned over to
Majority Leader Cobb and to Lieu
tenant-Governor White was present
ed a richly engraved silver vase from
the members. Senator Cobb received
a silver tea service and a similar to-
ken was given to Senator Grady, mi
nority leader, who, it is expected, will
retire from legislative life during the
present wear.

The Last Eve Minutes.

The highest interest of any meet
ing should be reached at the close,
and every part of the program up to
that point should be planned SO as to
lead up to the last five minutes as the
climax of the hours thought and
feeling.
That can be done most appropri-
ately in this meeting, if the sugges-
lions for the leader are followed
carefully. Then, when the hour is
almost ended, let song and testimony
and spoken prayer all cease. Call
every one to silent prayer, a prayer
of praise for those gifts of God that
are too sacred and too near the very
soul of the soul to be spoken of to
others. And then let the sacrifice OF
praise break forth in short but pro-
foundly earnest and definite prayers
of personal dedication. Invite espe-
cially to this sort of prayer those VINO
have praised God but little in their
lives, though they know they owe
Him much. So let the hour close in
a united expression of purpose to
praise God continually by consecrated
and holy lives.
