 They were grave because they were called upon to decide the whole future destiny of a nation. They were worried because the penalty for such work as they had in hand was death.
 They were the council called togeth CT from all over the country to decide whether America was to remain d downtrodden. unjustly persecuted Brit ish province or should become free independent nation. On their decision hung our country's fate.
 During the years since Americas S first discovery England had little by little won from France and other pow.

To these colonists rather than to the moth CT country itself was due Englands su- premacy on the western hemisphere. for they had fought her battles, explor- ed and cultivated her wilderness and swelled her revenues.
 In return as years passed on Eng land had done less and less for her American colonists. She had reduced to the rank of subsidiary provinces the land their ifeblood and life work had conquered She had sent incompetent governors to rule them. She had tried to crush them with unjust taxes.

 At last, however, nothing remained out the choice between slavery and absolute independence. Delegates from each Of the thirteen colonies met ID Philadelphia in the early summer or i776 to make that choice.
 And without one dissenting vote they declared for liberty.
 Thomas Jefferson, a young lawyer and farmer. drew up paper embody ing the colonies defiance of oppression and their intention to form a nation for themselves. independent of every foreign power.
 This paper was called the Declara. ton of Independence. 1t was adopted On July 4, 1776

Ancient Horses.

It is a well known fact in human
history that man used the horse as
an article of food only for an enor-
nous period of time, perhaps 1OO,-
900 years, before he discovered that
he was far more serviccable us a
means Of transport. In fact, it is
an open question whether the so
called paleolithic men of Europe
used the horse as a means of trans
port at all. 1t is certain that when
Europe was invaded by the neolith-
ic men they brought the domesti-
Gated horse with them and intro
duced cattle as the principal form
of animal food.

believed he could in some respects
do better than the president before
him, not merely keep what had been
done. And each president is right
in thinking this, for in this business
Of making better each Of us has
something to contribute that no one
else possesses. For ordinary people
it is a great encouragement to re-
member that, no matter how many
great ones prccede us, there is still
a way for us first to make good and
then to make better. The way is Just
to give ourselves to the thing we
are doing. Our self is q brand new
thing, No one else ever had it be-
fore. A boy who learns his lessons
because of a sense of duty only
may indeed make good, so far as
marks arc concerned, but the secret
Of education comes only to the one
who studies because he has learned
to thoroughly enjoy it. The first

ter, And the second alone gets the
fun out Of the game of securing
knowledge. George Lawrence Par

Keep Your Temper.

The unwritten laws both of so.
ciety and good manners are innu-
merable, but there is one that we
cannot pass over in silence, and
that is-never lose your temper.
This applies especially when play
ing games To lose ones temper in
private is bad enough, but to do so
in public is objectionable. 1t is a
crime which no hostess can forgive,
for it makes all the other guests
feel uncomfortable and disturbs
that outward calm which is the es-
sence of all good society.

The blind spot in the eye is where
the optic nerve comes through the

nearer the nose than the center.
To test it close your fists with your
thumbs outside and held against

Shut your left eye and look fxedly
with your right eye at your left

when they are about six inches
apart the right thumb will go out of
business temporarily, for its picture

MAKING BETTER.
Merely to Make Good Is Not Doing All
That One Should.

There is one thing better than to
make good, and that is to make
better. The world is a constantly
improving world; it has not simply
remained good. We can see this if
we recall how naturally We say,
"This is the finest sunset or cloud

together true, but there is a greater
truth underneath-namely, that in
nature there is something so deter
mined to make good that she seems
to us to. be doing better than be-
fore. To make good is not enough.
The same thing is seen in other
places. No president ever went to
Washington but that he honestly

urown on a Table In the Dark In a
Few Inches o. Soil.

Few Inches os Soil.
If you have at your disposal a
small and quite dark cellar and an
old kitchen table, how would YOU
like to grow potatoes, excellent ones
that are declared to be superior in
flavor to the ordinary farm grown
variety? This can be done very
easily by following a method which
is attracting considerable attention
in France.
First Of all you need the dark eel
lar. The absence of light is essen
tiII, for the filtration Of even a few
rays Of light would cause the pota-
toes to waste their energies in put
ting forth sprouts in all directions
instead of the buds Of little pota-
toes. Next you need a table, over
which you place layer two or three
inches thick of fine, dry and care
fully siftcd earth Then you select
some good two-year-old potatoes
that is to say, those of last years
gathering. Any potatoes in a good
state of preservation will do, but it
is best to select large tubers with
out defects, for the slightest trace
Of fungus spreads rapidly and may
spoil the whole crop. Now take d
slightly moistened sponge and pass
it over each potato to work off the
crypto%rammic germs that are so
injurious to vegetable tissues. II
some Of the potatoes have already
begun to sprout the sprouts must
be removed carefully without
wounding the tubcr.
After YOU have done all this take
the potatoes one by one and half
bury them in the soil, planting
them in rows spaced about four
inches apart
There is no back breaking toll
with the hoe in the broiling sun and
no fighting against potato bugs.
The tubers should be inspected by
candlelight occasionally to see that
everything is progressing satisfac-
torilv. In two or three weeks after
planting it will be found that each
potato is covered with tiny white
points which several days later
change into little potatoes that
grow rapidly.
When the little potatoes are rea-
sonably large they may be carefully
removed, leaving in place the old
potatoes, which continue to bear.
Several weeks later another crop
may be gathered and even third.
The budding continues until the
parent tuber is completely exhaust
ed and nothing remains Of it but
the skin.
In case sprouts push forth on the
potatoes they must be cut off with
scissors. Potatoes grown in this
way have one very excellent quality.
They have so thin a skin that it
may be simply washed off. No
scraping or pairing is necessary.
They also have an excellent flavor
and are frmer than ordinary farm
grown varieties, with less tendency
to soften.-New York World.
