 The Paris of other days is gone. Our contemporaries are enemies Of the old stones. FriChtful and colossal buildings are everywhere replacing the lovely houses of the older time. There are only two or three PariSians who remember and regret Rodin, the sculptor. In his Hotel Biron grumbles without ceaSiug at modern architects. He puts them in the same class with surgeons and gardeners. He formu- lates upon these three kinds Of people this judgment.
 Put a gardener before a beautiful, natural tree and he fells it to the ground: a surgeon before a beautiful young woman and he will cut Into her and kin her: an architect before a marvellous old building and be will rage 1t to the earth"
 AnatoIe France also deplores the dis appearance of Paris of the past centu- ries. "AU the modern houses he says, however costly they may be, appear poor because they are too high. A great height given to the houses is a slgn that they are eCOnomiziug ground space. This idea of economy darkens the beauty of construction. Beautiful architecture has always been more ex- tended than elevated The lower houses of old Paris had an air of freedom; those Of today express a kind Of rapac- ity."-Cri de Paris.

AN ALABASTER SPHINX.
Ninety Ton Statue Unearthsd on the
 Plains ef Memphis.

Another sphinx, weighing ninety tons and carved from a single rock of ala baster. has been unearthed at a point between the world famed colcSSi on the waterlogged plains Of Memphis, in ECvpt. For hundreds of years it has laid in a reCumbent position, buried beneath the sands on the road to Sax kareh. Today 1t is half exposed to view. and next year 1t is to be raised to a vertical position above the water line.
 This newly found sphinx was be- sn-yed In its hiding place by its tall, which Mir M8Ckay, one of the students of the British school in Egypt discov- cred about a year ago. This year when the water on the plain subStded the complete figure was eXCavated and was found to measure some fourteen feet high and twenty-siX feet in length. AlabaSter being a rock foreign Co the neighborhood, says the London Stand ard. the new sphinx ranks as the lar geSt that has ever been transported The figure bears no inscription, but Is considered by Professor Flinders Pc trie. the director of the British school in Egypt. to have been carved about 1900 R. C.
 Many other remarkable discoveries, taking the mind back as far as $500 B. c. and lifting the veIl of centuries from ECypts romantic story, have also been made by the same school and with the exception of a red granite group of Rameses II. and the god Ptah, which will be sent directly to the Carlsberg museum at Copenhagen, and a few other details are now on exhibition at University college.

Tho statCSuauHkC abilities ana peculiar fitness of Fred T. Dubois of Idaho. are bringing his name to the front as a probable member of the new Wilson cabinet It is as Secretary oc the Interior that NIT. DuBois would best serve the gov erumeut. because so many Of the Western questions come under that department for treatment. The great questions Of reclamation Of desert lands, irrigation projects, public lands and surveys, bureau Of mines. national parks, distribution oi appropriations for agricultural and mechanical colleges, and questions Of the powers and duties of the Territories, the land office, Indian office. geological survey and bureau of mines. all come under the super vision of the Secretary of the Inter ior. and Fred. T. Dubois is familiar with each and every one of them.
 Nr. DeBois went to Idaho in 1882 was active in the auu-Normon agi- tatiOus and was twice a delegate to congress from the then territory. He was instrumental in securing the admission of Idaho into statehood. He was one of the great number Of Westemers who withdrew from the Republican party in 1895 after the adoption of the gold standard plat form. He was twice elected to con gress as a Silver Republican and then becoming convinced that the Democratic party offered the only means Of obtaining a complete rule by the people, he joined that party and became an active worker for the democracy
 NIr. DuBofs is not only a states man and a deep student of national affairs, but he has been active and has had experience in all questions that come under the Interior de parment He is a specialist on re cIamayiou, irrigation, Indian affairs, and the many important questions Of the west He has helped his ter ritory grow into a state; he has mined and knows the needs of min ing. He is familiar with geology; in fact he seems especially fitted for the Secreyaryshtp of the Inter ior. He is one man that the west en States could easily settle on as best qualified for the place.

BLUE GRASS LAND
IN OLD VIRGINIA
Why Farm Property in South
west Part OF State Sells
So Well.
CATTLE AND HOGS BIG CROPS
Mountainsides and Valleys Are
Almost Equally Rich Where
Blue Grass Grows.
CATTLE AND HOGS BIG CROPS
ny MISS MARY MILES.

Marion. Va, May lit is common
occurrence for people from other sec
tons of the country to inquire into
land values when they come 10 the
blue grass section of Virginia, and al
most invariably when told that the
rolling fields and steep hills they see
sell readily for from S75 TO SIPS per
acre. they are greatly surprised that
land OF such a rugged nature should
command SO high price and ask why
1t is SO. 1t is SO because such land.
when properly farmed, can be made to
yield from to over 8 per cent. net in
come. a basis of the above values,
and because great many people think
che life OF the blue grass farmer is tho
best life in the world.
This blue grass section of Virginia
lies largely in the southwestern por
ton of what is known as the great VAL
ley region Of Virginia. 1t also extends
to some extent over into the Blue
Ridge region on the east and the Ale
Shany ridges on the west The Blue
Ridge and Allegheny ranges are from
seventy-five to 100 miles apart. and eX-
tend northwest and southwest along
nearly parallel lines. The section be-
tween these ranges is composed OF mar
row valleys and linear ridges. and
structurally. is probably the most COM
pick area in Virginia.
Grnss the Leading Feature.
The principal rock structures are
of different grades of limestone. The
rough effects of weathering, or rock
decay, which has been going on for
thousands of years. is Uantle
of decayed rock material over the
sound rock. This mantle forms soils
which are ideally adapted for the
nourishment of grass, wheat, corn and
many other crops.
Grass. however, is the important fea-
ture. and the farmers in the grass sec
ton use the pillow as little as possible.
The object is to raise only enough corn.
straw, etc, to winter the stock. You
can Craze from April until December.
AS an illustration of the way grazing
land will make itself. one can cut the
timber from woodland. then cut off all
brush and briars. and in the large ma
jority OF cases the grass will natural
ly set itself and make good grazing.
The section Is we'll watered by small
streams. and the seasons are remark
ably uniform. The summer of 1911
came nearer bringing a drought than
any summer has for ? great many
years. Yet during that summer the
usual number of export cattle were
pounds of flesh per head. going to
market In the fall direct from the

ley region farm. Let us take, for ex-
amble, farm consisting of 400 acres.

EXPORT BUSINESS
TO BREAK RECORD
Current Fiscal Year Will Show
Greatest Shipments Ever
of American Goods.

The prediction that the export Of
domestic produc,s from the United
States will be larger during the pre-
ent fiscal year than ever is justified
by statistics of the national treasury
department. Barely a dozen years ago
treasury officials were alighted that
exports of manufactures averaged ST.
100000 for each business day. During
the current fiscal year the aggregate
for the nine months ended with March
has been. in round numbers. s720,000.-
600, or an average OF fully $4,000. 900 a
day. This is an Increase Of over $780,
100000 in the value OF manufactures
exported. s compared with the cor
responding months OF last year. and
should this average be maintained 1t
will justify the belief expressed by the
bureau of statistics that the total
value OF manufactures exported during
the fiscal year will, for the first time
exceed s1,oo0.000.00 Agricultural and
other products will make up another
s1,000,o00.ooo. thus giving total exports
for the year considerably in excess OF
$4,000, 100000. The large increase In
exports occurs especially In manufac-
lures of iron and steel. copper and It's
manufactures. leather and its manu-
features. agricultural implements and
lumber. The articles other than man.
features. such as cotton, wheat, hog
products and coal, show large in
creases and will show greater totals
in the current fiscal year than in any
preceding year. The oils, illuminating.
lubricating, gasolenes. napthas and
others. show a considerable increass,
especially napthas and other lighter
products OF distillation. These. &C,
cording To the statistics for the min,
months now available. are expected to
approach and possibly cross the $780,.
100000 line. On the import side tho
most notable feature this year will APP
parently be material increase in tho

HARNESS HORSES
A LIGHT VARIETY
How, 1t Will Pay Farmers to
Grow the Light Har-
ness Nag.
AS MERcHANTABLE PRODUCT
In Spite OF Automobiles and
Cycles, the Horse Holds
His Own.
AS MERcHANTABLE PRODUCT
BY J. N. BELL.

The Virginia farmer has good
chance to add to his yearly income, by
raising the right kind OF light harness
or saddle horse; this In spite of the
fact that automobiles. bicycles and
the like are on tho, increase.
From the early Colonial days on UP
to the present writing, tho Virginians
of all classes have been lovers of a
good horse, and most certainly of that
type OF horse which uniting speed
with style and beauty. became the
pride of his owner. whether 1t be on
the race-course in the hunting field, or
on the road. This love OF a good horse
still Is alive IN the hearts OF. the sons
of the old Commonwealth.
The stringent laws against betting
have had the effect of breaking I'D rae
Ing to great extent. 1t is not the
object of the writer to take up this
phase of the subject, except to say that
the Virginia farmers might be able to
secure stations and mares of thorough
bred or standard trottinS strains at
figures that ten years ago would have
been looked at as ridiculorthy low,
thus supplying themselves with breed
Ing stock at very reasonable prices.
Approved Type of Light Harness Horse.
When man considers the purchase
OF a light harness horse. he does not
lose sight of the cardinal requisites OF
an animal of the approved type. They
are, style. action. conformation, dis
position and to. some extend speed.
Color. OF course, If oftentimes an I'm
portant consideration, although 1t is
more or less a matter of taste or fancy
on the part of the would-be owner or
purchaser. as there Is a saying that
"a good horse cannot be of a bad
color"
1t is generally conceded fact
among horsemen that the American
trotter is the best, and the fastest
light harness horse in thu world For
several decades no hns been bred for
both speed and endurance. Some fami-
lies OF trotters arc noted for their
style and also for beauty of form,
while as rule, tho trottlng- bred horse
of almost any strain is tractable. Hence
IT seems in place to advise the Vir-
ginle farmer who contemplates tho
profitable raising and handling OF
light harness horses to choose a stand
ard trotting-bred stallion.
The Choice of a Dam.
It Is an acknowledged fact among
breeders that the choice or selection
OF tho dam Is OF equal Importance to
that of the selection Of the sire. Scat
tered over tho State of Virginia will
BIO found many mares in the hands OF
the farmer. mares that have strong
Infusion of thoroughbred blood In
them. Most OF these are what might
be termed. say, half or three-quarter
bred.
Those mares II we'll shaped and OF
good eize. will do admirably to cross
with n standard bred sire OF the right
type and quality. The progeny from
such cross should, under ordinarily

Then and Now.

clip the following from an old
paper dated May Z, 1881:
"A correspondent in forwarding the
returns of the recent election for men,
bers OF the Legislature of Virginia,
says: The Legislature passed an act
at its last session to refer TO tho peo-
pie the question OF establishing a free
school system in this (Accomac) coun-
ty. But to our astonshment. It was
lost. The wealthy oppose it because
they would be taxed for its support and
a great many OF the poorer because OF
their ignorance"
How things have changed in Old
Virginia in the last thirty years. When.
in 1872, Virginia commenced TO make
it's public school system Something
worthy the name, there was consld-
erable opposition to large expenditures
for free tuition. The people were hard
pressed at that time, and then In the
Eastern parts OF the State, a large part
OF the population (negroes) paid no
taxes at ALL and they had many chill
dren to be sent to school at their
white neighbors' expense. But senti-
ment soon changed. According to the
official reports for the year ending
same Accomac county eighty two public
schoolhouses. twelve OF which were
high schools. and quite a number of
the graded schools have high school
departments, In which one-year high
school course may be obtained In
these schools there are I44 white
teachers and thirty-four co,orad; there
are enrolled 5,121 white students and
1883 colored: the average daily at

About County Fairs.


Last year being drought year, and
therefore short crop one. 1t was ma
tural TO suppose that the county fairs
would get a black eye. Some counties
that intended to hold fairs abandoned
the idea because of the drought condi-
tions, but every county fair that was
held was n success from every View
point. Several counties made their
first effort last year. and the success
was so great that all of them have
decided TO try again this year, and
some that l have heard about have
bought grounds and are erecting build
ings with n view of making the fair
permanent annual county institu-
ton. That is good. very good. and In
this connection 1 want 10 throw out a
hint that 1 catch In Western agri-
cultural journal. Hero It Is:
Now and not next fall Is tho time
to get ready for the fair. Select some
stock for II or plant something to ex-
hBbit. save samples OF the winter grains
while they can be secured. and put
fruits in cold storage as they ripen.
The best exhibits cannot be secured If
nothing is done until the week before
tho fair,
~ real agricultural fair Is a good
thing. and carefully selected exhibits
are necessary to make this kind. De-
eide now that you are going to the
fair and that you arc going to take
something TO exhibit"
