Twentieth Century Dissemination.

In the olden times the farm was
general loafng place in the winter.
The farmer loafed at the store or
smith shop; the cows loafed in the
stable, as the milk pals proved; the
horses loafed and grew soft and fat in
their stalls, and the very hens loafed
On the roost waiting for spring before
beginning to lay eggs, says the Farm
Journal. A wonderful awakening has
comet The modern farmer is on the
lob every day of the winter; the cows
are doing their best to provide plenty
Of 50-cent butter, and the cheerful
cackle of the hens on these bright
winter days attests the fact that they
are inspired by the twentieth century
determination to make good at Al
cents a dozen.

English Names for Towns.

Many names of towns in England
have been appropriated for a similar
use in this country. These names fire.
quently indicate in themselves the ORR
gin Of the towns. For instance, names
ending in chester" or "cester" or
caster" such as Dorchester, Worces-
ter and Lancaster, undoubtedly apply
to sites of old military settlements or
camps, and the termination is derived
from "castra." the Latin word for
camp. II the name Of place ends in
"coln," like Lincoln, then it, too, is of
Roman origin, because the Latin word
for colony is colonia. When the sylla-
BILE ~by" ends the word, like Rugby,
we then know that the Danes are re-
sponsible for the name. for the Danish
word for town is by.

He looked up at her with the old
boyish frown pulling his eyebrows to-
Rether.
She's been good to God all her life;
what do you reckon He's letting her die
this way for?"
II was a terrible question, made more
terrible by the savage hardihood that
lay behind 1t. Ardea could not reason
with him; and she felt intuitively that
at this crisis only reason would appeal
to him. Yet she could not turn him
away empty handed in his hour OF
need.
How can we tell?" she said, and
there were tears in her voice. I'VE only
know that He does everything for the
best"
II wish you'd ask Him to let my

tried and tried, and the words just die
in my mouth"
There is a Mother OF Sorrows in ev-
cry womanly heart, to whom the APP
peal of the stricken is never made In
vain. Ardea saw only boy-brother
crying out in his pain, and she dropped
on her knees and put her arms around
his neck and wept over him in pure
transport of sisterly sympathy.
Indeed and indeed l will help, Toni
And you mustn't let it drive you out

And he went the back way to hi

1.-THE amount of ignorance not yet
removed concerning the planets is
very great" writes E. S. Grew. 1--WE
do not know, for example, whether
the planet Venus rotates. II 1t does
it may possibly have life and vege-
tation like our own, though we suspect
that it is clothed in eternal cloud. or
Saturn's rings we cannot say
whether they consist of millions Of
tiny moons like brickbats or whether
they may be even smaller still-a veil
of shining dust OF Jupiter we can
only say that 1t is covered with
clouds, though of their substance we
know nothing, and, according to Pro
lessor Lowell and Sir William Hug
gins, some of the bands we see on 1t
may be riffs in the clouds revealing
the body Of the planet. Little lines
crisscross these bands. Photographs
Of Jupiter taken at Flagstaff observa-
tory seem to indicate that these lines
too, are the upper clouds of Jupiter.
But whenever we see a planet we
see it badly. Even Mars, the most
clearly revealed of them all, is con-
stantly obscured by a refracting haze,
so that even the famous canals,
though nearly 500 in number, only a
few are perceptible at time. and an
unskilled observer would probably not
make them out at all. Sandstorms,
sometimes snowstorms, sweep the sur
face OF the planet, and because the
winds Of Mars are very gentle and
slow moving these occurrences take q
long time to pass by."-London Fam

Value Of Good Roads.

ton OF the value Of good roads to a
county, when he hauled IS 500-pound
bales Of cotton to Monroe in one load,
behind two mules. The cotton was

from the work that has been done on
the public highways.
