SUCCESS TURNS MANY HEADS
Average Man Assumes an Importance
to Which He Actually 10 Not
Entitled.

1t ls rather a remarkable illustra
tion OF the weakness of our nature that
there should be 50 many persons
whose heads are completely turned by
attaining even the slightest degree OF
success. Instead of realizing that the
achievement which won him fame Is u
thing of the past. and therefore buried
In oblivion, except to those nearest to
him, the average man imbibes q good
ly portion OF self-satisfaction and
drinks to his own coucelt. His one sue
cess looms very large upon his narrow
horizon. and the temporary adulation
OF u tickle public magnifles it's proper
tions and appears to give him an I'm
portance not really his due. This self.
Importance Is apt to be reflected in all
his further efforts, II Indeed 1t does
not forbid effort OF any sort, and once
q man becomes obsessed with an exag-
sernted Idea Of his attainments there
10 small chance Of his ever duplicating
those attainments. II Is Just here,
however, that so many persons make
tho mistake OF their ,IVes by believing
that having once established q record
for Themselves there IL no need to
live up to IL. II they could only forget
their successes, or hide them away in
tho dim places of their own minds to
he peeped at only for inspiration. their
Selfaggrandizement would give way to
correct valuation of their ability,
which would go far toward helping
them TO new accomplishments. A
mans most serious thoughts should be
OF what Is TO come, OF what he Ia to do
In the future, not Of what is passed or
OF what he has already accomplished.

Titles In England.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles. There were
only a few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix "Sir"
before their names. We all Of us
looked down with lofty contempt upon
the counts and barons hat were so
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we al do SO no longer, for probably
there is no other country in the world
where the traffic in titles is 30 open
and so indecent as in England. What
the number of our decorations Is do
not know, and l imagine that few do.
Every few years some new one is Gre
ated and an Englishman with a taste
that way can easily manage to ex-
hibit himself covered with metal disks
and bits of ribbon like some success
full COW at an agricultural show. These
embellishments may fiatter the van
ity Of their wearers, but they do not
increase the respect that is felt for
Englishmen.-London Truth.

The smuts Of grain are diseases Of
parasitic origin. and are familiar to
every farmer. They cause blackish,
smutty masses Of powder where the
grain of wheat, oats or barley ought
to be, on the leaves, oars or other
parts of the corn. This black a
may be in a compact ball, as In the
sinking smut of wheat; or 1t may be
q loose, powdery mass. az in the loose
smut Of wheat or In the oat-smut. In
wheat, the sinking smut-mass has an
odor like that of dead fish. which is
easily detected in the field, OF in the
harvested grain.
The smut parasite is a fungus plant
composed of delicate. coIorless
plant, and which are 80 small that
they a only be seen by the aid of
the high power of the microscope.
The fungus does not produce seeds.
but reproduces itself by means Of
spores. The smutty mass, or smut
dust, is composed Of these spores. The
spores are single round cells, with
NAASh Wuiob 81 bhdI LhCy dIC WGu pIO-
tected against drying up or other In
jury. When the spores encounter
favorable conditions they terminate
and thus reproduce the disease. A
small thread is produced from the
spores. grows in length, and may
branch. One Of these fungus threads
gets into the grain plant, and there
keeps on growing and branching. It
gets food by stealing from the grain
plant. The threads get into the grain
or leaf. and there grow very fast: and
finally they break UP into the small
round spores again. and the smut
mass is thus produced.
In a word, then, the smut is a para.
site composed Of tiny threads. which
live inside of and steal their nutrition

Lovers of lobster ought to get q lot

in the famous old Kennebec Journal,
which says that the c~rustaceans are

adds, they are not as low In price

fallen to 16 cents a pound, which is

from the grain plant. and finally re-
produce by spores (the smut-dust);
and these spores can each produce a
thread which may again start the
disease in another plant.
There are two common smuts of
wheat-the sinking smut, or bunt,
and the loose smut. These are easily
distinguished in the field. The stink
ing smut cause most damage, but the
loose smut is just as widely distrib-
uted. and in the aggregate causes con
siderable damage avery year.
Watch carefully for loose smut at
heading-out and towering time of the
wheat
Take your seed from fields which
have little or no smut. and thus keep
the disease from increasing. This at
least will help to keep down the smut.
Do not try to grow wheat clean Of
loose smut near another wheat field
which you know will have loose smut.
since the wind will carry the disease
some distance.
Raise your seed in a ~seed-plot, and
keep 1t free Of weeds and clean of
loose smut by getting and planting
clean seed, and then by proper pre-
cautions keep 1t clean.
There are two common smuts of
barley which are similar in many re-
spects to the two smuts of wheat.
The covered smut is distinguished
from the loose smut by the fact that
1t appears later in the season; the
smut-masses are harder and blacker;
the boards are usually not changed.
and the smut-mass breaks up less cas-.
lily.
The smuts Of grains cause an an.
nual total loss to farmers Of millions
of dollars. Most of this loss can be
prevented by simple and cheap treat
ment of the seed.

ExercIalno tha Land.

While it may seem absurd to say

yet 1t is often Just what Is needed
In q particular case
A field which will hardly produce a
crop to pay the harvesting, and which

pronounced In need of treatment with
chemicals to restore its vitality, has
frequently been tested and found to
contain per acre. in the top eight
inches of its depth, some 1000
pounds of nitrogens, 5000 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 10000 pound. of
potash-the very physic that hts

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re.
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD q
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If You are
IN need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had 4 personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatves or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe. they DO not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
md stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation Is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels, which il really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus.
ing ~biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
l had my way l would prohibit the said
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that arc
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the. stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no,
dope; they are soothing. healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
