this condition when the company's
expert took charge. By a small
application of stable manure, about
fifteen tons per acre, and 500 lbs.
of lime, corn was raised at the rate
of AZ bushels an acre the first
year.
A large variety OF fruits and
vegetables were grown in order to
determine for the benefit OK the
farmers in that section which
would bring the largest returns.
Nearly everything planted added
something to the farms income,
but the best noney-makers were
lima beans, yielding a net profit of

$2o4, watermelons, $50, muskmel-

Whiffs Of The Sea
(From "The Opal Sea-

In every cline and in every sea-
son, from dawn to' dusk, from
dusk to dawn, the sea has the
stamp of supreme beauty. I'M
mensity and power are there, grace
and rhythm of movement run with
its waves and currents, light and
color give it brillian-y and splen-
dor. Each wind that ruffles it
shows new purity of hue, and
each cloud that passes over it
new depth of reflection, The
rounded heavens use it as mir
ror, the stars are set like level
points upon its bosom, and the
golden sun flames from the bright
incline o'' each ocean swell like
mighty topaz shot with fire. Oh,
the beauty of the sea! The full
rounded sweep of it The deep
transparency of it! The wondrouT
harmony of it! The whole life of
the world lies there conserved by
its own energy-serene, indestruc-
tible, eternal"
Before the twilight has passed,
the oval-shaped moon has come
up over the eastern sea, lighting
the sky anew with silvery opales-
cence, and mingling its soft luster
wit hthe fading glory OF the west.
The light now comes from two
sources and both OF them pale re-
Elections of the sun itself. How
supremely beautiful it is in its soft
glow, how wonderful in the color

how impressive it makes the An

when the tired world bends the
knee and rests moment lost IN
the beauty OF tie upper sky!
ave Maria! Ger the earth and
sea
That heavenliest hour OF Heaven
is worthiest thee.
How many hearts have over
flowed in utterance, how many
vows have been made, how many
faiths have been pledged, under
the spell of that hour OF love! And
the beads that have been told, the
cries for health and strength that
have gone up, the tears OF repent
ence and despair that have fallen
in that hour of prayer!
Man is easily brought to his
knees. And it may be very slight
thing that brings him there. The
scent OF meadow grass, the wild
rose by the roadside, the moan
of the autumn wind, the falling
rain-any one of them may be SUIT

SINGING SANDS.
Peculiar Properties of These Curious
Freaks of Nature.

Peculiar Properties of These Curious
Freaks of Nature.
The most notable of those curious
freaks of nature. singing sands,' are
those Of the Ha waiian island Of Kauai
When small quantity of this sand Is
clapped between the hands it Is said to
give forth a sound so shrill us actually
to resemble boot. Put into bag and
violently shaken. the sand emits a
noise strangely like the bark Of a dog.
Similar sands also occur in the Colo
RADIO desert, where also are to be found
those curious nonsedentary sands that
continually travel hither and thither
over the vast plain of clay. Their
movements are induced by the winds.
and when a strong breeze IS blowing
the particles of which they are COM
posed give out an audible humming or
singing.
Under the microscope these sands
show an almost perfectly spherical
form, so that they roll upon each other
at the slightest impulse, circum'
stance that also accounts for the rapid
ity with which the sands travel over
the desert. One theory advanced with
respect to the singing" of these sands
is that it is due to an exceedingly thin
film of gas that covers the grains.
Gathered and removed from the desert,
the sands lose their vocal properties

lengthy reprt handed in at mid
night the special grand jury calls
on Mayor Soel H. Cutchin to show
why he should not be removed
from office, charging hin. with col
fusion with persons of all repute
and with having accepted gifts of
various kinds from these people.
The report further charges Police

fence. Following the presentation
of the report Judge Staples an
nounced that he would ask the Gov
ernor to appoint a Judge to preside
in the case of Mayor Cutchin which
will be taken up at the next term
of court. The text of the report
does not come as a surprise, since
the line of examination followed by
the jury had been talked of fol
some time.
Mayor Cutchin has held office fol
many years. He is 81 years old.
The jury returned three indict-
ments against Harry Myers, one
charging him with the larceny OF
$40, another for contempt of court
and another for felony.

ENDORSED ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

The annual conference of Meth.
odists which closed Tuesday al
Clifton Forge, took the following
action on the temperance ques
ton.
When the report o. the commit
tee on temperance Was presented
it created some discussion but was
adopted as submitted. 1t recon-
mended that inasmuch as there
had been an attempt on the part of
the papers and people opposed to
the Anti-Saloon League to iniure
the character and usefulness of its
leaders that this Conference eX-
press its approval of The men and
their course.
1t favored the passage by the
legislature of an enabling act to al
low a vote on State wide pr"hlh'
ton, similar to the Strobe bill of,
fered at the last session.
1t favored the passage of a State
law preventing the shipment Of
liquor into dry territory.
1t favored the passage of the Local
option bill in Maryland and express
ed approval of the passage of the
bill to allow a vote on State wide
prohibition in West Virginia.
1t asked for the passage by Con-
gress of a bill preventing the inter
state shipments of liquor into dry
States or dry territory
Rev. D. H. Kern, stated that ne
was opposed to that part endorsing
the leaders of the Anti-Saloon Lea
que. He thought that this Confer
ence had nothing to do with 1t
that it was the duty Of the body Of
which they were officers. In adj
dition he said that personally he
knew some of the leaders who woulc
not only be acceptable as minister:
in this conference, but would MOI
be accepted as laymen, He moved
that part of the report be ellmlnat
ed. DR.. J. H. Light responded in
speech vigorously defending thu
officers of the league. In replylns
Mr.. Kern said that in his remarks
he had not referred to any mlnlstcl
of any denomination, but that ht
knew men who were recognized az
leaders in the movement who were
far from being the men that they
should be.
The vote was taken and while i
was a very light one it was appar
ent that the report had had al
overwhelming majority.
Following the report Rev. }. u
McAlister, one of the secretaries o.
the League, was introduced anc
made an address.

Europe's Middle Glasses.

In France is an organization called
the Congress des Glasses Moyennes.
Translated, this means Congress Of
the Middle Classes" The sharpness
with which class, lines are drawn In
Europe continues to puzzle some Amer
leans, although there are others who
think we have class divisions without
the names. The French middle classes
correspond to the German "mlttel'
stand" and comprise the middlemen Of
the towns and the country and also
many contractors, master builders and
clerks. The organization has an an
nual luncheon, at which the most dis
tinguished men Of France are accus-
toned to speak.

SpoiIinu the tobacco.

Winchcombe St. Peter, in Gloucester,
shire, began the cultivation of tobacco
in England toward the end of the six
teenth century, and the inhabitants
are said TO have derived considerable
profit frcm it until the trade was
placed Under restrictions. An entry In
Pepy's Diary on Sept. 10. 1867. con
corning the coming of cousin of his
to town proceeds: "She tells me now
the life guard which we thought a lit
tie while since was sent down into the
country about some insurrection was
sent to Winchcombe to spoil the to-
bacco there. which. it seems, the peo'

have always done and still been under

as it hath been oftentimes, and yet
they will continue to plant 1t. The
place, she says, is a miserable poor
place."-London Globe.
