EnqIish women's Feet Larger.

English women rapidly are becom-
ing rivals of the Chicago women.
They are developing big feet. Sta
tistics prove it. Investigation recent
ly made in London shows that the
average woman there Is taking sub
stantial fives and SKIES in shoes in
stead of the little twos and threes
which were not uncommon In the
past. THE average size Of English
women's feet" said a member Of a
shoe firm in the Strand, "is growing
gradually larger. In the last ten
years the smallest size in which We
produce new fashions has risen. The
reason that we do not stock the small
sizes is that we have no demand for
them. Eight is no uncommon size for
a woman to wear. American women
cannot wear English boots, as they
have insteps that are more arched
than the average English instep,
which is usually fiat" The same boot
maker, however, said he had observed
that in the case of American women
their feet were getting smaller.

CHILD'S LIFE SAVED BY CAT
Sleeping With Infant, Pet Received
Death Thrust Delivered by
Insane Father.

In the st. German quarter Of Paris
a little French child owes Its small
life to the liking Of the family cat for
the little ones warm, soft bed. Owing
to the animals presence there be-
meath the blankets what would have
been q CHASTITY tragedy became almost
farcical.
The child's father, once a prosper
Gus merchant, had come down through
speculation, and by constant brood
ing over his reverses became insane.
He imagined that Beelzebub had
promised to direct him to a spot
where hidden treasure was concealed,
providing the blood of a child was
offered to him. Accordingly n night
recently Grenardi. the person in ques-
ton, rose from his bed. and with a
knife in his haid went towards his
child's cradle.
The poor mother, struck dumb by
horror, sprang out to stop him. but
the maniac was too quick for her.
Shrieking aloud in his frenzy, and
averting his face. he stabbed twice
at the sleeping child before the frantic
mother could intervene. and. mad
with distress, snatch her little one
from the crimsoning bed clothes.
Her JOY was unutterable to find her
baby %unscathed. The child had been
saved at the expense of its trespas-
sing pet. which had received both

When q Bale to The Acre is the
Rule.

The average cotton crop of the
whole Cotton Belt is less than
two hundred pounds Of lint per
acre, a good deal less. And yet.
when we know that all over the
South there are here and there
men who seldom fail to make
five hundred pounds, and a small
err number who make more than
this, and now and then one makes
a thousand pounds, it is evident
that to make this low average
there must be many who are
growing cotton at an actual loss,
for 200 pounds hardly pays more
than the cost Of growing it. In
fact, it does not pay the cost of
those who are carried by a mer
chant. If every farmer in the
Cotton Belt made a bale an acre,
it would not take half the area to
make the usual crop, and the re-
naming acres could be growing
something to feed the land or the
cattle, and helping to improve
the land so that one-fourth of the
area would make the crop.
Imay not live to see it. but the
time is coming when aaSouthern
farmer will be ashamed of a crop
of a half bale an acre. ard will be
disappointed at less than d bale.
The leaven is working, and as the
young men come to take charge
OF affairs, there is going to be a
general breaking away from old
methods. w. F. Massey, in

SAINT IN

The festival of St. Thomas of
Canterbury, from being perhaps the
most popular of saints days in Eng
land, has now fallen into complete
desuetude and its revival is not adj
vocated by even the most fervent of
Anglo-C Catholics. 1t was Henry
VIII. who destroyed the Beckett ira
dition. The king was Gas always)
in need of money and the shrine of
st. Thomas in Canterbury cathedral
seemed a suitable object for legal
lied loot. So in 1888 an order was
issued that the bones of the saint
should be burned and the offerings
made at his shrine-the trophies of
three centuries and a half-forfeit-
ed to the crown. Beckett was to be
decanonized, his images to be de-
stroyed and his name erased from
all the service books. The work was
faithfully performed. "The name
of Geta," writes Dean Stanley, "has
not been more carefully erased by
his rival brother on every monument
of the Roman empire. "-London

MADE 4 CHIT uF ACCIDENT
siellian Actor Certainly Gifted With
True Dramatic instinct, az This
Incident Shows.

Giovanni Crosse, q Sicilian actor Of
unusual dramatic energy. Is the hero
Of a peculiar story. says the Florence
correspondent Of the London Express.
He was playing one OF his flercest
parts. where he had to stab his enemy
with q dagger. Suddenly. in the heat
Of his passion, Grasso let the weapon
slip out Of hand. 1t alighted in the
pit on q mans head. cutting 1t slightly.
An indignant member of the audi
ence flung the knife back to the stage.
where 1t was dexterously caught by
Grasso. Raising 1t aloft In his hand.
and as II 1t were accursed, Grasso
smashed 1t in two. and then stamped
upon It.
Then, with a swift bound, Grasso
was In the pit beside the injured man.
The next minute he had climbed back
to the boards, with the victim in his
arms.
After settling him in a chair, Grasso
threw himself on his knees and began
a long entreaty for forgiveness. This
was readily granted by the much en-
barrassed playgoer, who on his side
begged to be allowed to return to his
seat.
But this was not to be until Grasso,
weeping %copiously, had bestowed no
fewer than so resounding kisses on
the mans blushing cheeks.
The action was greeted with loud
cheers, and after Grasso had grace
fully bowed his thanks. the play was
resumed and successfully concluded.

Crop Rotation an Absolute
Necessity.

That you can't have paying
farms on one-crop basis-thls
was the beginning of wisdom that
the Wisconsin farmer learned
when Prodigal-like, andalso like
our own cotton farmers-he came
to himself, after rioting in the
riches of a new, strange country,
and the next lesson was like unto
it-that you can't build up land
without live stock. Nature has
decreed that where grass and
vegetation grow there must ami
mails feed and return the fertili-
ty to the earth, and Natures
trinity-the soil, the plant, the
animal, and back again through
the same cycle over and Over-is
as inseparable as the links. of a
chain.
Wisconsin turned to dairying
because of climatic advantages
for this form of stock-raising and
now instead of her land getting
poorer, it is getting richer every
year-and this in spite of the fact
Wisconsin's total fertilizer bill is
less than the tonnage tax on fer
tilizers in North Carolina. In
other words, where we spent one
dollar for fertilizers, they spend
one cent.
Wisconsin farmers have learn
ed to grow corn, too, although
thirty years ago the common va
rieties of dent corn would not
mature in this section. But this
did not faze them, and they set
out to breed a type that would
mature in their little over ninety
days of assured growing season.
This they soon accomplished,
and by the aid of other work in
seed selection and plant breed
ing, Wisconsin has now become
one of the best corn states in the
American Union. - Starkville

YEARS TOO OFTEN WASTED
Magazine Writer Calls Attention to
What He Considers q Danger
to Democracy,

As conditions now exist there comes
into the life OF the average boy or
girl four or Ave waste years-the
years between thirteen and eight
cen. These waste years hold in
them the real dangers OF our
democracy. For out Of school the
boy at least is worthless. II the
boy goes out to attempt to learn .
trade at IA years of age the manu-
facturer says: Il do not want you in
my factory" and the manufacturer
will not employ the boy except as an
errand boy.
And yet 10, 900. 900 of fourteen-year-
old boys and their sisters-who are
really worth something-are out Of
school in America today. Partly they
are out for economic reasons; the
family needs their support. But apart
from economic forces there are social
reasons why he Is not In school. His
studies and his teachers, and at the
bottom of all, the selishness OF the
taxpayers.
For when a child is not doing well"
in school the parents find it easy to
put him to work outside. Probably
5000, 900 leave school not because they
have to leave to support the family.
but because the parents feel that the
boys at least are better off working
out of school than idling and wran-
Cling with their teachers In school.
The instinct of the boy for physical
education as well as for mental train
ing should be needed. The boy longs
for manly things, to see things under
his hand. The almost universal intro
duction of manual training In some
form into the lower grades of Ameri-
a schools-giving the boy opportunf-
ty to work with his hands-is n OF
the most important symptoms of so
cial health in our political organiza-
tion.-American Magazine.

There was never a stronger de-
mand for heavy horses than there
is today. Our cities are growing
and the larger they become the
more big horses they need. The
city demand is by no means the
only demand that exists for big
horses. Farmers are demanding
large horses, because they are
using bigger machinery. Four
teen and sixteer: Inch plows, large
drags, wide disks and seed drills
are being installed everywhere,
and to pull this modern machin-
cry big horses are required.

Whenever you have any spare
hours haul some good sharp sand
up to your buildings, and the
next time you are in town bring
out a few sacksof cement. Then
make some fence post molds and
on rainy days get busy making
cement posts. In that way you
can make them at a cost below
that of wooden posts that won't
last more than from six to ten
years, while properly made rein
forced cement posts will last a
lifetime or two.

Cottonseed meal as a fertilizer
is never used alone. but always
mixed with other substances. It
is rich in nitrogen, but contains
less than three per cent. of phos-I
phoric acid and less than one per
cent. Of potash, consequently
would not be a balanced fertilizer
used alone. Cottonseed meal is
really a fertilizer ingredient.

What Keeps the World Alive.

There's the world at large; town,
village, country, sea. What Is it all
about? A mans search for his God,
his struggle to fill his stomach. and
his desire for his mate. It Is only
love that keeps the whole pathetic
mass together. Fine, slender cords,
binding men and women. The light
in the woman's eyes. the smiles Of
children, the actions men do from
afection-these things keep the world
alive. Nothing matters but that. The
worst man loves somebody. The best
man loves somebody.-New York
