CROP RuLLETIN.

The weather was warm and dry during the past week, being very favorable for crops and outdoor work. The temperature was about normal the fore part of the week, considerably above the latter portion.
 The warm, dry weather was favorable, and all crops made good progress during the week. Cotton made decided improve ment, except in the lowlands, and picking is in progress in most portions of the State. Much alfalfa and wild hay was cured and peavine hay cutting was in progress.
 Cotton is reported in fair con- dition in most places, in good condition at few places in the uplands. Late corn is in good condition, except in the low lands, where it has not yet re- covered from the bad effects of the wet weather. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are in better con- dition than at the end of last week. Garden truck continues plentiful.

Building Character.

When an architect plans great building, and specifies the dimensions of pillars. arches and walls, he has to be guided by a knowledge of the strength of the material he is to use. Bricks and floor tile must be tested as t~ the pressure they will bear, TOT crumbling stone and defective iron may bring loss and disaster later. But we are not so careful in the building of character. We fancy that weak, ness in one place may be counterbai' anced by strength in another; that a few good habits set over against some bed habits average up pretty well. ana that the days of careless building, when we are in no mood to do our best. may be atoned for by extra rood work further on. Many iife eoes down in ruin before some sudden tsm ptation just because of this build. snr into 1t of poor material unnt eo otand strain.

Escaped Disease.

Typhus, which under the name of "prison fever" was once rampant in England, held no terrors for John Howard, the prison reformer. While In a cell he would hold to his nose a phial of aromatic vinegar, and on going home would wash and change his clothes. though even these pre- cautions he later abandoned. People thought his powers bordered on the magical, pressed him for his secret and refused to believe his explana' lions that his immunity was due to fearlessness, cleanliness and temper ance. He ate no flesh, and very iittie of anything; he drank neither wine nor spirits. and went to bed early ana rose early. And his asceticism ena' bled him to let light into the most noisome dungeons and to live to the age of sixty-four years.

Greed for Money.

The love of money can hardly be the root of all evil. for 1t is only one perverse passion out of many. But there Is a kind of decorum about money which makes the love of 1t pe- culiarly dangerous. since 1t conceals from the lover the nature and effects of his passion. If man wants loo much food. he Is evidently greedy. If a woman wants too many clothes she is evidently vain. But money is not thing. like clothes or food. that can be enjoyed by itself. It is only a means of getting things that can be enjoyed. and so greed for money is not direct greed, but indirect. It is a civilized means of conducting the struggle for life. which to a great ex- tent conceals from those who use it the ugliness and the animal nature of that struggle. It is. in fact. kind of diplomacy. politely conducted. De- hind which there is war; but the dip- lomats often do not see the war.
