First Idea of Steam PIowinu.

The idea of the use of engines and
machinery to pillow the ground seems
to have originated with David Ram
sey and Thomas Wildgoose in 1913,
but the motive power they proposed
to use is not quite clear Francis
Moore in 1869 first attempted to use
the steam engine for this purpose.
The history of practical steam plow-
ing dates from the invention Of Fowl
er, assisted by Smith, in 1854.

Best Work Done in Maturity.

The history of human achievement
shows that there have been a few
geniuses who have accomplished their
greatest work at an early age. But
the great work of the world, the bulk
of all the great achievements, has
been done by men who developed
slowly through years of observation
and experience, their minds broaden
ing and ripening and growing ever
stronger, and these did their best work

On Talking Too Low.

1--WE Americans are of two kinds;
we either talk too loud or too low, par
ticularly in public places. A European
family will sit down in public without
feeling the necessity of putting mute
on the voice and retiring as though
behind a wall. They are not noisy or
gay, they do not toot on tin horns, but
they say what they wish without low
ering the tone to that painful depth
which we mistake for cultivated
note. Let us be brave, and be our
selves; for nothing can be better than
that."-Louise Closer Hale, in Cen
fury.
