UNCLE SAM READS LETTERS.
Dipismafie Commentaries from Iur-
elgn Countries Are Always seann-
"a ~ Government

Although Ell the governments
deny II, there Il not q government
under which a cabinet noir does
not exist and has not existed since
letters we've written. At Wash.
ington, as at Berlin and London,
no correspondence Of Importance
escapes this administrative inqui.
sition. In spite Of all denials,
every government maintains a
dark chamber in which letters are
opened and read before being sent
to their destination, says a writer
In Success. In the turmoil pre-
liminary to the spanish-American
war a secretary Of the Spanish le-
cation at Washington discovered
this to his cost. Without the cab
met noir the secret police could
hardly exist. Through it the chiefs
are enabled to spy upon their
agents, who are recruited in all
ranks Of society and paid in pro.
portion to their standing and serv-
ices. 1t is, however, in politics
and diplomacy that the cabinet
noir works most actively. OFten
it is of supreme Importance for a
nation to know the instructions
sent to this ambassador or that,
and the contents Of bis dispatches.
Of course these communications
are in cipher, but for the cabinet
noir there are no cryptographic
mysteries. Even cipher can be
read. Documents Of very great i'm.
pOrtance are sent by diplomatic
cOuriers and "king's messengers"
but this is exceptional. In the pa.
pers which have thus been stolen,
read, copied, and preserved in the
secret archives of the various
states, lie the real history that
will some day be written. Bunau-
Yarilla's letters-fled away in
the cabinets nOirs of Paris and
Washington-will some day shed
a hooking light on the recent oc
currorces at Panama, and many
another historic event will take
on an unexpected color.

WALK, THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Don't SLOUGH, Don't Wobble, Don't
Strut, If You Would Be a
Model for Others.

Look to your walk, says Sue.
cess. It has more to do with your
success or failure than you, per,
haps, dream Of. Don't SLOUGH.
Don't wabble. Don't shuttle.
Don't strut. Walk like man who
is determined to play a mans part
in life, with head erect and feet
planted firmly on the ground.
One may see, on the streets Of a
city, every day, many people who
are walking failures. There is not
the slightest energy in their move
ments. Their whole bearing gives
testimony Of their weakness.
How do we know that they are
failures? Nothing is simpler.
There is a subtle connection be.
tween the mind and the body. The
mental attitude is reflected In the
spontaneous movements Of the
body, and you can very quickly
tell By q mans walk and general
bearing whether his mind is alert,
his spirit progressive and earnest,
and his whole being full OF life and
vigOr and determination, or be Il
a AipshOd, lazy, lifeless creature.

Lieut.. Hobson lectured at New
Kensington, Pa, recently, and
after the meeting entertained the
committee with the following
story:
"A war correspondent once
wrote an article which enabled
the army with which he was tray
cling to win a battle. Things had
been quiet for some days, and the
correspondent devoted his time to
writing an account of the stirring
incidents Of the war, in which the
officers and men about him fig.
ured as heroic characters. When
the narrative was completed he
passed it among the men for q
reading, and its excellence was
sounded in many mouths.
"The next day there was a bat.

again heard from his story. An
artilleryman needed wadding
seized the bulky manuscript, and
with a great roar it passed from

"The fort surrendered, and the
correspondent saw his country's

WORN OUT LAND RECLAIMED

jackson. Miss. Dec 31.-Hon. G..
H. Afford. special agent Of the United
States department Of agriculture. has
given out the following to the press:
James j. Hill. one Of the greatest
thinkers Of the age. says Give US a
system Of farming in the United States
which shall greatly increase the pro-
ductiveness Of the soil.
Diversified farming and stock rails
ing is the only system Of farming that
viii increase the productiveness Of the
soil. The too exclusive culture Of cot.
Ton always means a poor soil Our
lands need a rotation Of crops. includ-
ing luguminous crops. and much Of it
should be devoted to the live stock in
dustry. A better balanced system Of
farming is needed-one that will in
clude more crops to enrich instead Of
wear out the land; one that will in
clude more live stock to consume the
surplus farm products and the lugu-
minous crops that must be grown to
enrich the land and to make manure
10 still further enrich the land.
By a suitable rotation Of cotton,
corn and peas, oats followed by peas
or lespedez, every acre Of our run
down farms might in a few years have
its producing capacity more than
doubled. Such a system Of farming
would in a few years regenerate our
worn lands to where one-third Of the
farm planted in cotton would yield as
much as the two-thirds now in cotton
now yields. Under this system with
the lugumes, the lands Of Mississippi
would need only ground phosphate
rock, which can be purchased for about
$500 per ton. This system would
rapidly increase the productiveness Of
the soil and at the same time save mil
lions Of dollars in fertilizer bills.
We are told in a bulletin issued BY
ihe Louisiana station that one acre Of
Spanish peanuts grown on very poor
land at Calhoun contained 1872 pounds
Of nitrogen worth at commercial fer
iilizers value at least $500. One
acre Of velvet beans contained 19l;
and one acre Of cowpeas 108 pounds.
These crops made from two to three
and a half tons Of feed stufs. richer in
Iood elements than wheat bran. Where
such restorative crops can be grown
on land and fed to stock without seri. |
GUS loss Of fertilizing value. is there
any excuse for poor land =? No coun-
Try OF. earth has such advantages Tor
growing soil enriching plants. and ye.
no country makes so little use Of them. !
