New Year Resolutions.

No, sir; I'm not going to make
a lot of resolutions that know I'll
not keep. I'll only make those that
I think I'll stand some show of
making good on. First and FORE
most, I'm not going to give up my
beloved pipe. We've been compan-
IONS for too many years to let any
little old bit of sentimentali4y sep
arate US now. Besides, I think too
much of my family to give that old
pipe the g. b. I know and the fam
ily knows, that within twenty-four
hours after discarding that odifer-
GUS old oomrade there'd be no liv-
ing in my immediate vicinity. And
why should I give it up, anyhow?
Tn not going to begin keeping
"a diary. L have resolved on some
thirtylfive or forty New Years
days to keep a diary, and l know
from experience that it's all fool
ishness to start 1T. Whats the good
of it even if you'ao keep one?
lam not going ito resolve never
to speak 'hsrshly to my children. l
expect that many times I'll ll'have to
do it for their good, and I know
I'll do it many times because I'm
grouchy. So what's the use of re-
solving to do something that I
know I'll not do?
About the only resolve I'm going
to make is to keep right on trying
to do great many things that I've
been trying to do heretofore, name
ly: I will remain silent when I
cannot speak we'll of a neighbor
and brother.
l will not listen when others
seek to impugn the honesty of
those ] know to be honest and
Twill strive to do justiceto every
man.
l will lend helping hand when
ever l can, and stay the hand of
whenever opportunity
offers.
Theunder dog in the fight will
continue to have my sympathy.
Whenever j have a chance to
give pleasure to those about me I'll
be there with my best effort.
I'll make some mistakes, but I'LL
not make the same mistake twice.
It will take little more to keep
me from smiling than it took last
year, or the years before.
And every day I'll strive so to
act that when l911 istended it will
find me a better man than when
the year began.
And 4'll hand roses whenever l
can, first cutting from them every
thorn.
But I'll not resolve toquit throw
ing the exchanges over the floor, or
quit leaving my clothes lying
around, or stop dropping ashes on
the rugs, or quit bolting through
the door without first wiping my
feet, or grumbling a bit if the eve-
ming paper is not handy when I
get my coat and hat off.
Only foolish man resolves up
on doing things that he just knows
he cannot do.

CORN STALK PAPER.

The day of paper made fran
cornstalks has come, the expert
ments of the Department of Agri-
caa&ure having proved the process
can be made q commercial propo-
sitiom. For some time these expert
memts have been under way, says
the Progress Magazine, and now
the department is utilising some of
the 'cornstalk paper for its CORES
pondenoea@d operates mill which
turns out the new paper, of high
grabe, by the hunpred pound lot.
The experts of Uncle Sam say
that a.smallcommercial mill can he
kept busy through the entire year
by the stalks from the cornfields
Within a radius 'of eight to ten
miles.
Perhaps 1T WIFI not be long
before the fermer will look upon
his stalks as the most valuable pert
of his corn crop. TIE he can realize
but half a cent a pound he will get
more for them than for his corn at
sixty cents a bushel. The problem
of making cheaper paper to CON-
pete with the wood pulp article u.s.
ed for printing newspapers has not
been solved yet, though the inves-
tigators are hopeful. What this will
mean can readily be realized when
it is stated that about S35, 100000
worth of raw material, wood pulp,
is used annually in the paper-mak-
ing business in this country. That
means great many trees cut down.
The stalks are pressed until the
juice, a very rich stock food, is ex-
tracted, then SHREDDED and dried. In
this form they will keep sweet a
year, insuring steady operation
of the paper mill. Only two-thirds
of the fibre is utalized for print
paper, the remainder making a
sort of parchment, watertight for
a while, but not absorbing the ink.

Resignation of SuPt Coates.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Education the formal resignation of
Supt. T. !. Coates as superintendent Of
the Richmond City Schools, was ten
dered and accepted. Prof. Coates Of
fered his resignation to take effect as TO
salary at The close of the fifth school
month, as to authority over the schools
at the close of the school year. He will
continue 70 perform the duties distinct
lively belonging to a superintendent I'M
til the close Of this year, i. e. he will
see that all rules are enforced, the stu
dents properly classified, examinations
given, faculty meeting held etc. IL is
understood that when his duties as SUI
pervisoT Of Rural Schools demand his
absence elsewhere he will be away.
This, however, makes no particular diff
ference to the schools as they are so well
organized, the faculty so faithful and
the principals so efficient that they
would run properly for weeks without
the attention of a superintendent. Prof.
Coates, under the direction Of the State
Superinte ndent, is now writing a Course
of Study for the Common Schools of the
State. In connection with this duty he
will deliver lectures on Tuesdays, We'd
