MUCH VALUE IN DlscoNrENT
Writer Finds Fault With the oelebrat-
ed Advice That Was Given by
Benjamin Franklin.

Don't keep your expenses down to
your income Bring your income up
to your expenses. II you manage to
live on what you make, you will never
be spurred to better performances"
This is the advice given by a San
franciscan who has made good. And
why not? It seems heresy, but 1t is
not when you come to think 1t over
Take the clerk on $1,000 or $500 a
year. If he is one of those carefully
restrained men, keeping not only his
expenses but his wants well within
his meager income, he will remain
a clerk all his life; die with that
same income in his old age. The man

will hustle to bring in the dollars that
he needs. Maybe he does not actually
wish to live on better scale than he
is living, but wishes to save for in
vestment or for rainy day He must
lift his revenue or live a hand-to-
mouth existence, or run into debt be-
yond his ability to pay. He becomes
ambitious and more industrious, more
ingenious, an abler man all round
They say that contentment is better
than riches, but contentment is a
brake on progress. 1t is the discon-
tented men who bestir themselves to
get what they banker for, and usually
get it.-A. H. d. in the San Francisco

SOCIoLOGIST NOW IN DEMAND
Many People Willing to Employ Her,
but She Seems Somehow to
Have Lost Interest

The female sociologist, as a COM
mercial asset, is experiencing bull
market.
She is actually in demand as a
maid of all work" said the manager
of an employment agency. Times
have changed in that respect.
Not so very long ago the applica-
tion of social worker for nice, in
teresting job, where she could study
the habits of heartless employers and
get points for magazine article,
placed me metaphorically between
the devil and the deep sea. If didn't
get her a situation, she wrote me up
as an oppressor of honest labor, and
if l did get her one, her employers,
when they found out what she was up
to, got after me and / lost their pa
tronage.
But people want sociologists for
| servants now. Here is bunch of let
ters from a dozen women, asking if
have any settlement workers in need
of job. They claim that with all her
faults of shopping around and trying
to reform the universe, the sociolo-
gist is the most thorough, the most
systematic, the most trustworthy
housemaid that can be found.
Unfortunately, now that she is
wanted, the sociologist has lost all
ambition to shine as slavey. I have
telephoned to every settlement house
in town, but it appears that social
workers are primed with all the facts
they need for the present, for not one
can find that will take a place. >

American who in early life adopted
the stage by reason of precocious

main unrecognized.
She carries a wealth of wardrobe
and to those who know, is best remem-
bered as the first woman to pose in
costly raiment, which the camera re-
produced in their original colors.
Her meeting with Prince Hassen
came about when she was playing at
the Palace Music Hall in London in a
piece called 81 Dine With My Mother"
The marriage attracted much atten-
tion at the time, both here and abroad.
The play has been elaborately
staged by the Shrberts and owes much
of its wonderful prosperity to the ad-
mirable stage direction given it per-
sonally by Tully Marshall, the techni-
cal stage director of Mr.. Charles
Frohman's staff.

ANIMAL THAT NEVER DRINKS
Porcupine's Lips-Lives on
Bark and Leaves.

An animal that never drinks has ar
rived in London. Undoubtedly it is
the first and only one, and all London
is rushing to see it. Naturally such a
curiosity is confined in the zoo.
"Wot a hun'appy beast it is! No
wonder it's bristles stick out like that"
remarks a man who has just drawn
the back of his hand across his mouth.
e do look drier than me Sunday
at assented his companion.
Temperance advocates use the new
conner to point a moral and adorn a
tale. Behold the lesson that he
teacheth Never a drop passes his
lips. Would that there were men in
London that could say as much!"
1t remains to be seen whether this
Brazilian tree porcupine will take to
drink now that he has been separated
from his South American habitat and
brought to the gloomy and chill pur-
lieus of London. If he does demand
drink, what will he choose? Maybe
some of the curious visitors will sur
reptitiously ply him with little ale
or gin or some other London beverage
to see it's effect upon an animal that
has never had drop of anything to
drink.
In his native Brazil this animal
feeds upon the bark and leaves of
trees, and the natives are very fond
of its flesh. 1t has a prehensile tail,
which serves as fifth hand.

Fire Worshipers.

The Parsees of Bombay are called
the fire worshipers" of the east be-
cause they hold in great reverence the
fire they brought with them from Per-
sia and have never allowed it to be-
come extinguished in their temples;
and because they worship the sun as
the author of life.
The Parsees have always held aloof
from other people and are famed for
their commercial ability. AS a conse-
quence of this ability they are the
wealthiest, most cultured and influ-
entail class in Bombay. So numerous
are they that Bombay has been called
the "city of Parsees.'
The religion of the Parsees is one
of the ancient religions of the world,
and was the religion of Persia when
that country was second in power of
the four great empires of the world
Babylonia, Persia, Greece, Rome.
In a great many particulars the re-
ligion of the Parsees comes nearer to
Christianity than any other Oriental
faith.

mately three nuarters of its length.
The shuck should be heavy and well
extended over the end of the ear and
closely gathered about the silk. The
shank that bears the ear should be
long enough to permit the ear to droop
at maturity.
Eighth, from ten to thirty times as
many ears should be selected as will
be necessary to plant next years
crops.
Ninth, 1t is best to select and pick
the seed corn in the field before the
hrst frost. The seed ears should be
placed where they will be kent dry.
and where they will be protected from
damage by weevils, rats, etc
Tenth. during the winter remove
the shucEs from the ears of corn and
select the necessary number of the
best ears to plant in the spring. The
rows of kernels should be straight
and not less than sixteen nor more
than twenty-five in number. The ear
Should be from eight to ten and half
inches long. The color of grain
should be true TO variety. White corn
should have white cobs and yellow
corn red cobs The tip should not he
too tapering. 1t should be well covered
with straight rows of regular kernels
OF uniform size and shape. The rows
of kernels should extend in regular
order over the butt end of the cob
leaving depression where the shank
is removed. The tips of the kernels
should be full and strong, leaving no
space between them near the cob
The kernels should be about five
sixteenths of an inch wide by five.
eighths of an inch long, and about six
tc the inch in the row.
1t Is good plan to have a special
seed patch and plant say twenty-five
of the best ears in this patch. Each
ear should be planted in row without
mixing with any other ear. Twenty
five rows planted in this way will be
sufficient for the average farmer. At
maturity, harvest each row separately
and weigh the yields. Select the ears
for next years seed patch from the
rows that give the highest yields, and
the remaining portion of the rows of
highest yield are used for planting
the field crop. And so the work
should be continued from year to year.

(Reply to Jacob H. Marshburn, Cath.
crime Lake, North Carolina.)
We are delighted to know that you
are interested in the breeding of good
seed corn. Next to the better and
more thorough preparation of the soil
the proper selection and production OF
seed corn is the work most needed in
the south. The variety tests at the
Experiment Stations show that OF
twelve of the leading varieties of corn
tested, the difference between the
higest and lowest yield per acre on
the same kind of soil with identical fer.
tilization and cultivation was 1872 bu.
We fully believe that the average yield
of corn In the south can be increased
more than twenty-five per cent by
planting prolific seed instead of seed
that has run out. Like produces
like"
1t will probably be best for you to
buy the best seed from some reput.
able breeder in your section and then
learn the best scientific methods to
further improve the seed. The buy.
ing of the best seed from some reput.
able breeder in your section will save
you several years of labor and expense
In breeding up the seed. However
you can, by following instructions,
rapidly breed up your own corn.
First, select stalks that bear the
ears at moderate height on the
stalks for the reasons that it is diff.
cult to gather ears too high and the
stalk is apt to be top heavy and easily
blown down by winds
Second, select stalks of medium
size, gradually tapering from base to
tassel
Third, with large cared varieties
no stalks that have more than two
ears should be selected and an effort
should be made to select some stalks
that have two ears and some that have
one.
Fourth, the leaves should be broad
and strong, from twelve to sixteen in
number, and well distributed on the
stalk.
Fifth, the stalks should be well
anchored by numerous strong base
roots from one to two joints above
the ground to enable to withstand
winds. Stalks free from suckers
should be selected as far as possible.
Sixth, detassel all weak stalks and
stalks growing only nubbins or nc
ears at all just before the silks begin
to show in good :umber, This will
prevent fertilization by inferior stalks
Seventh, the ear should be cylindri,
cal or nearly SC 1t should be full
and strong in thu middle portion and
the circumference should ba anDroYi.

necessary to punish him.
