In an endeavor o check the apparent decline of farming in England,
economists In legislators are crying back to h land" and there is a
sincere attempt to u inop practical operation the smaIlhodines act OF
Parliament. which took effect Jan. I, 1908. 1t is perhaps too early to de-
termine whether or nt the act is to prove successful The reports cn
corning it are diverse, the laEge land holders naturally taking the position
few farmers who have acquired small holdings under the act have OF had
sufficient time to demonstrate the effectiveness Of the plan as a solution OF
the problem to encourage agricultural production and turn the unemployed
the cities to pastoral pursuits.
According to Frank W SIahin, United States consul at Nottingham, vari-
u obstacles AVE been encountered. chiefly the difficulty Of finding practic.
able land and in the selection Of suitable tenants. That there is however
a demand fol- the land and that many people are willing to make he experf
of farming en- their own account, is shown in Nottingham. where =
of 4O59 acres hay been asked for by 243 applicants OF these apmi
cations 14 we're found to be acceptable, their requirements toaling I 25
acres. OF this amour but 511 acres hav been acquired. T. o be sure. nan
purposes or thu prices asked were deemed too high. This is to be remeded
In the near future, however, as n owner Of n immense estate has de-
hsi intention OF cutting 1000 acres into small holdings.
Proponents of the plan insist that the small holdings idea is bound tn
win, and that it promises to solve the agricultural problem, while al the sam
time doing much to reieve distress and Indebtedness. In n event the ex.
pertinent is interesting and will be closely watched by economists throughout
the world.

HIGH SOCIETY ACTORS.
A~riStocrHcy of Paris Takes Entlaus
instically to Amateur TheatricaIs.

ArlStocricy Oh Paris Takes fnthuS-
insticaIly to Amateur ThentricaIs.
High society in France is sale to
be in a fever of excitement over am
ateur theatricals. The latest enter
tainment was an Evening of Comedy"
given by the Duke and Duchess of
NoailleS at their chateau Maintenon.
The performance was preceded by two
dress rehearsals at which Francis Cop
PEGS amusing play, THE Father" was
acted before an audience of peasants,
who were immensely flattered by being
summoned to attend. Their applause
was spontaneous, and the more graft
flying because they did not know they
were assembled to test the actors abil-
ity. The characters in The Father"
scion of one of the Oldest families in
France; his wife, Countess Max de
Beaumont. who acted with exquisite
grace; the Viscountess d'Arjuson and
Count de Germiny. who. unanimous
consent had it, acted as well as many
of the best professionals on the French
stage,
. AASoS Dik
and, besides. Andre de F%ouquieres,
well known for his writings and lee
lures. and Baron Frederic de Neuf-
vile acted a comedy by Edie Basan.
Chateau Maintenon was crowded with
guests, who praised particularly the
acting OF the Duchess de Noailles, enc
Of the most charming hostesseS in
french society and noted for the orig
inality of her entertainments.
Countess de Beaumont, another lead
er in society, gave a theatrical enter
tainment recently in her chateau in
the Department of the Sarthe, to which
most of the actors and guests at the
de Noailles house party were invited.
The play was a comedy. Andre de
FouQuicres took d prominent part.
Most of the actors gained expert
formance at the Theater de la Re
naissance, Paris, to which the public
was admitted through the box Office.
The experiment was a great success.
Every eat in the house was sold sew
erai days before the performance and
500 people We're turned away. After
Andre Fouquieres. in a gray frock coat
and 4 snuff-colored waistcoat. had
given a witty causerie On lie Monde
de lie Theatre" he read a poem on
Enthusiasm" dedicated to him by
Maurice Rostand. son of the academi-
clan, who is now one of the lions of
Paris and hailed as a genius equal
to his father. Then several distin-
guished amateurs appeared, among
them Count r. de Bourboulon, Nine.
Louis Roger, Nine. Pietre Weber, Mile.
Delage and NJ. de Lubez. Their mu-
steal and dramatic selections had all
the qualities of the best French act
ing and the matinee was such a sue
cess that 1T vas repeated.

Make the Garden Rich.

If l had only IS to spend on my gar
den this year, l think l should put
four of it into fertilizers and one into
seeds and plants, says a writer in tho
Garden Magazine. The reason why the
general run of gardens in this country
have only ordinary success is that Q
person commonly thinks first OF the
plants that he wants to eat. while the
needs OF the soil come afterward.
Every single plant in a garden ought
to be a success. and the only way to
have a successful garden is to have
the soil rich. There is a great deal
more satisfaction in having a few stur-
dy plants that are simply bursting
with health and vigor than half
starved specimens of r~arities and nov
elites. No n ought to be satisfied
with a garden that is simply good
enough" 1t ought to be a very good
garden. and the only way to have .
very good garden is to enrich the sod
by fertilizers or manures.

marck. The present German emperor is noted lor nap
its of early rising. Humboldt, Goethe, Schiller ana
Heine have borne witness to the inspiration they got IN
the early morning air.
Heinrich Shliemann, ia II, was selling sauerkraut
and herring in a little German town; at Al he retireo
from business with a big fortune, and during his spare
time, mostly in the morning hours, before he COM
menced business, had mastered the Hebrew, ARABIC,
Latin, Greek, Russian, Swedish, English, French, Dutcu'
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and modern Greek
languages, and as a result of this accomplishment he
became the foremost archaeoogist of his day. What a
waste it would have been if he had spent his hours in
the night in such a fashion that he couldn't have gotten
up early the next morning.
The i~nvincibe Napoleon used to put his reports I'M
der his pillow that he might study them in his Wakeful
moments and the early morning hours.
Abraham Lincoln made the most Of the early morning
hours by lying fiat on the floor with the fire of the torch
as light, while he devoured the contents of books that
he had walked miles to b~orrow-books which he never
forgot tc return.

quaint old greeting, God rest you
merry, gentlemen" turns up regularly
every Christmas. 1t is a pity for the
ancient formula to be thus perverted
since God rest you merry" or Rest
you merry was a recognized form of
salutation in Elizabethan days and
may be found in the works of Shake

writer's, while for the modernized
form, which obscures the original
sense of the phrase, there is, of course,
no authority whatever. If n one
will have the curiosity to look up the
old Christmas carol which begins with
the words in question he will find them
correctly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES World.
