LIVESTOCK PRIZES INCREASED
BY VIRGINIA STATE FAIR.

When the Virginia State Fair Asso-
citation last year doubled premiums
over the year before and thereby
eclipsed the offerings OF every large
fair held In the eastern states except
one 1t was thought that this was proy-
ress enough for many years to come.
Now comes the announcement that
offerings for livestock will be further
increased to 100000 in cash prizes
at the 1918 State Fair. This is truly
wonderful showing and guarantees
for Virginia a magnificent livestock
exhibit and one that no Virginia farm
err who wants to keep posted on this
important branch OF his business can
afford to miss. From present indica-
lions, very few Virginia farmers will
ulfss the 1918 livestock exhibit and the
rest OF the wonderful shsw in october.

Patriot Mother of 1776.

The following may be of interest,
copied from the Essex Gazette, Sep
TENDER II. 1875:
A gentleman who lately Travelled
through Connecticut met with an old
gentlewoman who told him that she
had fitted out and sent five sons and
eleven grandsons to Boston when she
heard of the engagement between the
provincials and regulars. The gentle
man asked her if she did not shed a
tear on parting with them? NO." said
she. 81 never parted with them with
more pleasure" 'But suppose" said
the gentleman, "they had all been
killed." II had rather" said the noble
matron, 'this had been the case than
that one of them had come back q
coward"
Such was the spirit Of 1915, and 1t
is doubtful If this mother ever heard

NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With Subtlety, but
Was Satisfied That It Would Be
Thoroughly Complete.

When Alexandra Dumas. the French
novelist, was young man, he was
grievously insulted by man whom he
had regarded as his friend.
Everyone expected him to punish the
offender severely, hut instead he began
looking upon him with more consider.

he had ever shown before.
At length, three years later, when
the erstwhile friend was to be married,
the novelist was asked to serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony
was over and the guests were leaving
someone remarked to Dumas: II have
often wondered at your kindness to
this man. Surely yours is remark

insulted you grossly, you have assidn

Penalty of Disuse.

Nature has way Of insisting that
her gifts must be priced. when she
finds that we really do not care to
use thing, she usually takes it away
from u.s." says scientific writer. The
unused muscular strength dwindles /;
the skill acquired by the fingers de-
parts with disuse; singer who sought
to save her voice by refusing to sing
except upon very rare and notable oc-
casons, found to her surprise that
through lack of exercise it was losing
its power and sweetness.
This law of nature holds good in
the world of the spirit. The generosity
we put aside as too costly, the faith
fulness and goodness we are going to
put into life some other day, when We
are not SO busy, fade away. The faith
and reverence that we fondly dream
will flower into beauty sometime, are
shrivelling into nothingness while we

Rain After Thunder.

Why does heavy downpour Of rain
often follow a clap of thunder? asks
the Popular Science Monthly, and gives
this answer: Not, as is popularity be
lieved, because the thunder jostles the
cloud particles together into raindrops
In the violent turmoil between the pos
tive and negative electricity In {
thundercloud there will be places
where the production of drops by con
densation and their subsequent break
ing up proceeds more rapidly than else
where. Hence In these places there
viii be more drops to fall as rain and
also more electrifcation, the rainfall
occurring about the same time as the
flash.
We have, then, starting toward the
earth at the same time, light, sound and
raindrops. The light, travelling at q
speed of about $4,000 miles per sec
ond, reaches us almost instantly. Tht
sound travels far more slowly-abou!
1000 feet per second the rain falls
much more slowly still. Thus we Oh
serve. first, the lightning. thei the thun

Seeing that his adversary was I'M
armed, the Turk, much to the surprise
of the Briton, threw down his gun and
put up his fists in approved prize ring
style. The Englishman put himself
on guard, and the next moment the
| Turk flung himself on him, and the
pair began to fight desperately.
The men were about the same age,
the same weight and had adequate
knowledge of the art Of boxing. They
| fought without stopping for about ten
minutes. By that time each was ex-
hausted, and then paused for brief
rest, only to continue their little private
accounting when they had found their
| breath.
Round after round the fight went on,
while out in the Gulf Of Saros the

Of each Of them the field artillery

to get any decisive advantage over the
other, and at last Turk and English
man rolled over on the ground and
laughed and laughed.
Just then the Englishman's hand
touched something. It was the Turks
pistol. He picked 1t up and handed 1t
to his enemy. Then the two young
men shook hands and each returned
