Men Have Hisher Regard for Poetry.

London Chronicle: A public librari-
mans regard for poetry is greater
than woman's. Many pupil-teachers
and other students frequent his libra

them IN the study of literature. He
finds that when set to study a poet,
the man student usually borrows that
poets works to read for himself, but
the woman says:
"Oh, I don't want to wade through
all that; give me a book that will
summarize his ideas and tell me what
/ ought to, think about him."
And the usual way is to give the
girl a book that tells her what a man
thinks she ought to think about

The advance of universal education is
irrisistable; and under the reign OF

THE TRUTH WELL TOLD.

Don't be afraid to speak i'll Of the

be saved from deserved criticism by
the commonplace fact of ceasing to

Cardinal de Bernis, that every re-

the dead"
Filled as our lives are with daily
shams, there is no more absurd and
abominable sham about US than the
mask of sorrow that we wear to the
funeral of a rogue. As q matter of
fact, the dead, being safe from phys

open to such reprobation as their acts
may have courted.

Somebody's sister is behind the

HOW ONE COLLEGE HAS HELPED
NEGROES.

In q certain county in Mississippi,
says q writer h. the Southern Work
man, a college for white boys has in
spired and positively helped the Ne
groes Of the county. "A spirit of
sympathy and good will has shown
itslf in conduct. The college en-
plays q number Of Negroes to work
on the college farm. Working as
they must under the direction of q
trained agriculturist, these men learn,
through doing. many vital principles
Of effective farming. They eventual
ly start up farms of their own and
thus carry with them the experience
gained under trained oversight.
Their success In the community
where they live becomes an object
lesson to the neighbors around.
Again. the college experiments In
taxing the productive capacity under
certain conditions of an acre of cot
ton or corn In full view Of the peds-
TRANS to and from town. This ex-
pertinent is watched with the keenest
interest by those who are aware of
what Is being done. and this has
proven to be very effective kind of
object lesson. The college further
sends out men to hold farmers in
stitutes for Negroes in various parts
Of the county. Such questions as
deep blowing. crop rotation, green
diversity Of crops, stock
raising with reference to the breed
ing and care Of stock. have been
presented at different times. These
institutes furnish experiences to the
illiterate Negroes for the intelligent
Of work done on the col
lege farm"
