GRAPE JUICE.

There is no more delicious summer or winter drink for invalids or for real refreshment than unfermented grape juice. A small glass or this soul satisfying drink at the soda foun- tains costs fifteen cents.
 Fruit growers in Garland county this year raised splendid crop of grapes. and the man who has the grapes can make quart of grape juice for what single small glass would cost to purchase it. Here is formula from the woman's World, telling how to do 1t, and much Of the surplus crop of grapes could be used for this purpose.
 Use clean. sound. well ripe grapes Crush and let strain through cloth sack. This sack may be twisted by two people to express the juice. Heat the juice in a double boiler to nearly boiling point If thermometer is used never heat above 200 degrees Fahrenheit If no thermometer is used, heat until 1t steams. Then put in glass, earthen or enamel dish and allow to settle for twenty-tour hours.
 Carefully drain and run 1t through several thicknesses of clean flannel Then put into sterilized bottles or glass jars tsterilize the same as for fruit canning). Leave little space as the top of the bottle or can for the juice to expand as it heats Put a thin board or wire meat rack in the bottom of wash boiler (use small CT vessel if a smaller quantity of juice is to be eanned). Set the filled bot ties or glass jars on the rack fill with cold water to withi nan inch of the top, and heat until about to simmer. Then seal immediately
 If bottles are used melt sealing wax and pour over the corks. allowing it to come down over the mouth of the bot tie This fills all the pores of the cork
 This makes a light colored grape iuice. If red article is desired. crush and heat the grapes before straining through a cloth.

THE RETIRED FARMER.

r Cur farmers are making the stu
 pendous blunder of transferring their surplus capital to the cities instead Of
 using 1t to build up the open country, says Willet NJ Hayes Too often, in- stead of building good roads splendid countrywide schools, co-oo oerative creameries, cooperative country stores. and other open country neces- sites. they retire" to town and al- low the farm 10 deteriorate under a tenant who, too often under a short leasehold. skins rather than cultivate ; the land. Meanwhile, the toil-worn farmer and his still more toll worn wife. thinking to escape their burdens pay as much for very moderate town comforts and conveniences as tt would nave cost to transplant these same conveniences to the farm. And alter all, they have given up the friendships anu associations of a hfe- time and the joys they might have helped to create or bring into their home community. for the sake of making themselves unwelcome par nacles upon the life and interests of the town or city where their savings aTe being meagerly spent.
 The government and states should encourage the farmers to increase permanent improvements on the land to construct better homes, farm barns and other farm hnildings to nsa more working capital in better stocking and cultisating the farm, and especially to adopt crop rotation and fertilizine which will build up the productivity of the soil.

CURIOUS CONTRASTS
AUTHORS WHOSE WRITINGS AND
METHODS OF LIFE WERE
CONTRADICTORY.

A man Of genius when he writes
book and "all the god comes rushing
into his soul is in an abnormal state
and hence lives of men of letters have
often been in glaring contrast to their
writings. Montaigne tells us that be
always observed supercelestial opin-
ions to be accompanied with subterra-
mean morals. On the other hand, the
most latitudinarian professors of epi-
cureanism have often lived like an
chorites or trappists. Some of the
best sea songs have been written by
men who never snuffed a salt water
breeze. stirring war songs have ben
written by timid men and women who
would have shrieked at the sight of
mouse, and hymns steeped in the very
spirit of devotion have been written
by men of doubtful morality, who
were never less at home than in a
Christian church. Charles Lamb was
ready to wager that Millions morning
hymn In Paradise was penned at mid
night, and we know positively that
Thompson, who sang the praises of
early rising in the Seasons" used to
lie abed till noon. Sir Richard Steele
could discourse eloquently on temper
ance when he was not drunk Wood
worth in his "Old Oaken Bucket" sang
the praises of cold water under the in
spiration of brandy. DR.. Johnson,
who wrote so well on politeness, inter
rupted his opponents with You lie,
sir!" you are a vile Whig. sir!"
Burns was compound of dirt and
deity" Rousseau, who was always
filing peoDle's eyes with tears, be-
trayed and slandered his benefactors
in turn and sent his children to the
foundlings' hospital. When Moore pro
posed to Scott TO go and see Melrose
abbey, as Sir Walter had described it,
by moonlight, Pooh, pooh" said Scott,
you don't suppose ever saw it by
moonlight" - William Matthews,
Sainte Beuve's Monday Chats.

U. S. FARM LIBRARIES.

The United States bureau of educa-
ton. which is of recent establishment,
is introducing scheme for bringing
a circulating library to the home of
every farmer in the United States.
The plan is to place from 100 to $50
books of suitable character in charge
OF the local storekeeper or postmaster,
and to pay him a small salary for
handling them. The books will be re-
newed every three months. The books
will he of a character desired by the
readers as far as possible. Collec-
tions may be loaned to schools. The
plan is patterned after that tried in
Van Vert county, Ohio, for many
years

ONE OF THE EARLY WILDCAT
GET-RICH QUICK SW!ADLES

The Mississippi scheme" was one
of the famous get-rich-quick bubbles
in the worlds history. Thousands of
people in France were swept to ruin
in it, and the infant kings reign in
its early years was practically dis
credited by 1t.
This pioneer of get-rich-quick
schemes was the work of John Law,
"A notorious promoter of financial bub-
bles and frenzied financier of the pc
riod when Louis XIV ascended the
throne OF France in 1715, at the age
of FIVE years, under the regency of
Philip, duke OF Orleans. At thirteen
the little king was declared of age.
Law was the son of a goldsmith of
Edinburgh and early turned his atten-
tion to the question of public finances,
always leaning toward the spectacu-
lar, Presently he came to be known
as a skillful gambler and juggler of
finances. He was finally forced to
quit England for the killing of an an
tagonist in duel, going to the conti-
nent, where he lived by his wits as
professional gambler until in 1716,
when he landed in Paris. He soon
ingratiated himself with the regent,
the Duke of Orleans, who authorized
him to establish a sort of government
bank and appointed him to the man
agement Of 1t.
Soon afterward Law created the
Mississippi company, monumental
scheme for the payment of the en-
tire national debt and the enrichment
of every person in France who chose
to subscribe for it. The promoter OBJ
tanned for his gilded enterprise water
tight monopoly of the entire trade of
France from the Cape of Good Hope
eastward TO all the other parts of
Africa. TO Persia, India. China, Japan,
and even to the strait of Magellan.
The French people took to Laws
frenzied scheme with a rush. They
put into it every penny they could beg,
borrow or steal. But one day the bub-
BILE was pricked and every investor in
it went to sudden and complete ruin.
Thousands of families that had been
rated as wealthy found themselves
paupers in an hour. Law fed with all
France bowling maledictions at his
luckless heels. He became wan
dering vagrant and died few years
later in Venice.

The colored natives of some parts
of Georgia are considerably agitated
over a prophecy recently uttered by
a newborn babe. The prophecy fore
told the death of the babe, which was
to happen and did happen in four days
thereafter, and the death of the
mother. which was to occur and did
occur in four weeks; and the end OF
the world, which is to occur in No
vember And 1t is this latter part
that is sorely troubling the colored
folks Whether this old world is
really going to come to an end in
November remains to be seen, but
the thing that worries us Is not that
1t is coming to an end, but in the
words of the old preacher, MY God,
which end?"-"Old Hickory"
