raiser in Mississippi. Mr.. Graham
like his father before him, has never
bought pound of meat or lard nor an
ear OF corn, and Is one Of the most
prosperous farmers in the state.
While other farmers, his neighbors,
were paying out good cash for meat
and corn, Mr.. Graham has always
raised his own meat and corn, and
several Of the farmers in his section
have adopted his methods, but he is
still the champion in these lines.
Mr.. Graham Is brother OF Mrs. J.
H. Powers of Jackson, wife Of the
state superintendent Of education, and
has just recently killed hog, 20
months old, which, If placed on the
market at the prevailing price Of
pork. lard and sausage, would net him
$1S1.65.
This hog weighed 610 pounds gross,
was 6 feet long and his girth meas
urement was feet 4 inches. His net
weight was $40 pounds, and Mr.. Ora
ham made 1856 pounds of lard from the
dressings and 40 pounds of sausage.
At 20 cents pound for pork, the meat
would have netted him s104.40, the

1.-The most notorious society d.
vorces of our time are creatures of
paradoxical innocence compared with
women of the courts of Europe in for
fer centuries" declares DR.. Matthew
Woods, in his lecture on Divorce"
Dr. Wood declares that the people In
good standing in our churches" are
not those who rush into the divorce
courts.
Candidates for marriage ought GER
tainly to present Doctors certificate
to the clergyman" continued Doctor
Woods, taking up the discussion of
persons who have transmissible d.
seases. He mentioned epilepsy as one
of the diseases he had in mind. The
speaker advocated separation of per-
sons having serious diseases because
of the misery inflicted on unborn gen.
erations.
''In the past three months l know of
two cases where ministers, in ignor-
ance of the true conditions, performed
marriage ceremonies that should new
er have taken place. said Doctor
Woods. "Such couples ought to be
legally separated We should have a
law providing for such cases. Only
the doctors know the wretchedness
that these mismated couples bequeath
to their children"

= T had rained and had been a bad day for Jack and Evelyn. Moping about
the house had a bad effect upon their tempe@ As result, when daddy
b came home he did no. hear a very good account Of them He said moth
ing, however until they were ready for their good night story.
"Once upon a time" he began, "a mouse and a frog lived n a little marsh
which they had almost to themselves.
Now, had they been hardworking animals instead of fat lazy, overfed
little wretches, with to much time Of their hands, they never would have
fallen % arguing. The frog a always sure that he knew better than the
mouse, and the mouse a quite sure be ought to know better, going about the
world, as he did, so much more thar the frog
every time they met there was a fresh quarrel
"You see said the mouse, the frog will never listen to good sense. 1t
is quite naturaI, being a mouse, that l should know much better than he

chance to get both of them out Of the swamp. Then l and the children can
have it all to ourselves
80 the waters snake tried hard to look very meek and humble, and the
little frog and the little mouse, If they had not been so altogether stupid,
would have been warned to be careful
81 m afraid the question as to which Of you two very clever gentle
men is the ceverer is quite beyond a poor little snake like me Of course it's
only a silly idea on my part, but why don't you fight it ut between your

Well, they did try to fight it out with burushes for spear. and te hawk
as umpire.
"The first time the frog bowled over the mouse the hawk called time.
The mouse charged the frog with making an unfair thrust, and the frog said
tina. the mouse had cheated by choosing a longer spear than be carried

became S o disguised with their quarreHng that he swooped down and ended
the duel by making a meal of both Of them. So the clever waters snake and
her children did get the marsh to themselves"

RELIsHEs SERVED WITH MEATS,

The old-fashioned chutney. which
one always finds in yer English
household, Is a relish which Is unusual
with Us, but Is very good.
To make chutuey, take n and a
half pounds of apples, peeled and quar-
tered, one pound of ripe tomatoes,
one pound of raisins, stoned. one
pound of brown sugar, two ounces Oh
mustard, one ounce OF pepper. one
quart of cider vinegar and a teaspoon
full of salt. Simmer gently for two
hours and bottle. Another recipe calls
for onion and chilli peppers.
For Virginia Mixed Pickle, choose
small cucumbers, string beans, button
onions, caulifiower and any vegetable
ones fancy suggests. Pack in a stone
Jar in layers Of salt; cover the top
layer with salt and put w a plate
with a weight. Leave In this brine
for a month, stirring to the bottom
each day, When ready to put them
up, look over each pickle carefully,
discarding any which seems soft. Gov
er the pickles with cold fresh water
and change the next day, letting them
stand another twenty-four hours. Line
a two-gallon preserve kettle with
grape leaves and pack in the pickles,
strewing powdered alum between the
layers, using a tablespoon rounding
full. Fill with cold water and cover
with three layers of grape leaves.
Cover closely and cook very slowly
six hours, never allowing the water
to boil. The pickles will then be a fine
green. Lay them in cold water to
chill. To a gallon of cider vinegar add
three dozen black peppercorns and as
many cloves, eighteen allspice and a
dozen blades of mace. Stir into the
spiced vinegar a cup Of sugar and boil,
covered, to keep in the aroma. Drain
and wipe the pickles and pack In a
jar, then pour the scalding vinegar
over them. Cover tightly; two days
later scald the vinegar again and pour
over. Repeat in three days and again
in a week from that time. Fit a tight
lid and cover with a waxed cloth.
Keep in a cool place, and IN two
months they will be ready. They will
keep for your grandchildren's we'd
ding If q tablespoonful OF sugar Is
added once every month. This keeps
the acid of the vinegar from soften
ing the pickles.

amateur can be more safely relied
choose among the vivid c%olors, such
as red, blue, green and black, that
have been forced upon her for the
last two years.
Mind you, these changeable tones
will not be vivid. There is no splash
of opposing colors, such as in plaid or
stripes or checks. The mingling is
very well done by artistic dyers, and
the fabric simply looks one color in
mt light and one color in another.
Women have been delighted with
the effect>as already seen In chiffon
cloth and In gauzes. They prevailed
last winter among those who dressed
exceedingly well, and the enect was
allurfng. The gauzes lend themselves
admirably to the changing lights and
shadows Of mingled tones, and as they
were draped over solid eolors the ef-
feet was not startling.
A soa3 bubble is always less vivid
than a rainbow, and so 1t is that a
changeable surface is far less con-
spicuous than q well defined one In
more than u colcr.
Felt hats, 1t is said, will carry out
the idea, and instead Of being dyed in
q solid color viii be done IN two or
three mingled ones and then trimmed
In changeable satin or velvet ribbons.
Extremely attractive is the fchu pic
tured-a new model that will be much
seen during the fall and winter season.

Black In Furnishing.

Quite a number of people are using
black largely in the furnishing and
decoration of their rooms just now.
SomeLof the wall papers with flowers
on a black background are delightful,
but as they are expensive they cannot
be within the reach of all.
People who do not go In for black
wall papers or cretonnes or carpets
contrive to get touches of black in
some other way. Black iron stair
rods, for instance, instead of brass
ones look very well against crimson
stair carpets.
The demand for old black lacquer
furniture has sent the prices soaring
up, and old black Wedgwood teapots
are being taken out of china cabinets
by people who are lucky enough to
possess them and made useful as well
as ornamental once again.

MANY Usas For Salt,

A pinch Of salt on the tongue, fol-
lowed by a drink Of cold water, will
cure sick headache.
1t hardens the gums and makes the
teeth white.
By adding a little salt to the water
cut flowers may be kept fresh much
longer.
By using very fine, dry salt as one
would snuff for colds hay fever may
be relieved.
A shallow teaspoonful Of salt dis
solved In a cupful Of hot water will
relieve dyspepsia and indigestion.
Strong salt water will revive an I'M
conscious person quicker than brandy
or whisky.
Salt and pineapple Juice will cure
mild cases of gastritis.
Salt added to water in which colored
dresses are washed will prevent fad

Smooth fatlrons by rubbing over
dry salt.
Sprinkle dry salt on carpets and rugs

LET'S JUST BE OURSELVES
Walk on Our Own Feet, Work With Our Own Hands and Speak Our
 Own Minds.

If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. Patience-patience; with the shades of all the good and great for company; and for solace the perspective of your own infinite life; and for work the study and communication of principles, the making of those instincts prevalent, the conversion of the world. Is it not the chief disgrace of the world not to be & unit-not to be reckoued with one character-not 10 yield that peculiar fruit which each man was created to bear, but to be reck- oned in the gross, in the hundred, or the thousand, of the party, the sec tion to which we belong; and our opinion predicted geographically, e the north or the south?
 Not so, brothers and friends please God, ours shall not be so; we will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds. The study of letters shall no longer be name for pity, for doubt, and for sensual in- diligence. The dread of man and the love of man shall be a wall of de- fense and wreath of joy around all. A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the divine soul, which also inspires all men.-From Ralph Waldo Emerson's address OH ''The American Scholar before the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa in 1897,
