TALKS WITH THE DEPARTED
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Insists He
Has Communications From the
Spirit World.

Spiritualism has taken such a strong
hold on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that
in one of his recent books, THE New
Revelation" he gives a rather inter-
esting description of life beyond the
grave. He obtained this information,
he says. from numerous spirits with
whom he has communicated. Relat-
ing one such spirit communication
which, he says, has been corrobOrated
by many others, Sir Arthur writes: Il
began to ask him questions exactly as
if he were seated before me, and he
sent his answers back with great
speed and decision. He said he was
happy, that he did not wish to return
keeping US in touch with the spiritual
world. If he had prayed more he
would have been higher in the spirit
world His death was painless. When
come him. He had work to do. He
was aware of the fall of Dongola, but
had not been present in spirit at the
banquet at Cairo afterward. He knew
more than he did in life. He remem-
bers our conversation in life. He had
not seen General Gordon nor any other
famous spirit. Spirits live In families
and communities. Married people did
not necessarily meet again, hut those
who loved each other did meet again."

DICKSON MAN
GETS PASTURE
That Is If He Followed The
Suggestions Given In Reply
To His Questions
RED TOP AND JAPAN CLOVER
What Should Be Done on Poor Re-
claimed Land Is Here Told by Soil
Specialist-What About Your Pas
ture-Are Your Lands Good Enough7

(By ]. c. McAmiS, Division of Exten-
sion, University of TenneSsee.)
81 have 35 acres of land l want to
get in pasture" wrote a Dickson
county farmer. 81 have cultivated it
two years in corn and l want to sow
it down in February, Twelve acres of
it is reclaimed land and will produce
about Il bushels of corn to the acre.
Twenty-three acres of it has been cult
waited two years only. 1t is new ground
and full of stumps. II will produce
about 40 bushels of corn to the acre.
1t is all upland and rolling. Would
you advise sowing orchard grass on
the new ground? 1t has a clay sub
soil.
Il have 20 acres in another field that
Is practically level and will produce
about 20 bushels to the acre 1t was
in corn and few soy beans After
pulling the best corn | turned hogs
on. l want to SOW it to cowpeas next
summer and put little corn with it
and hog off again and SOW to wheat in
the fall, then SOW red clover in Feb
ruary. The land needs subsoiling and
lining"
Ten to II pounds of red top and > to
s pounds of Japan clover is the best
combination for pasture on poor re-
claimed land. Orchard grass seeded
on the new ground part of the field
would probably improve the pasture.
Orchard grass should be sown only
upon ground of good fertility. 1t is
also possible that red, alsike, or white
might be used to advantage on the bet
ter parts of the field. If the land ia
rolling and inclined to wash, it may
be necessary to SOW a light seeding
of spring oats with all of these grasses
otherwise it would be better for the
without the oats. All except the Japan
clover should be sown in late February
Ur early March the Japan two or three
weeks later.
In logging off, use soy beans in
stead of peas.
1t is doubtful II the improvement of
the soil, by the plan suggested would
be sufficient to insure Il stand of red
clover. If the land is in need of lime i
1t will require a considerable amount
of manure to take the place Of lime
and under average conditions one
would not be justified in trying for
clover without lining
Did you handle YOUR pasture this
way?

HGrass Widows"

The term "Grass Widow" very like
~ originated from the wording of a
Canon law of the eleventh century,
which ordained that a widow should
remain under Gods protection and
grace" for a full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry if she
pleased. Such women were widows
of grace" and in later parish regis
ters they are described as "Grasse
Widowes." In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term grass widow" was ap-
piled to unmarried mothers, and in
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another explana.
ton of its origin is found here in, the
United States. During the days Of
gold rushes it was common for men
to board out their wives until they
had made enough to start a home in
the West, and this, in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"

BLUFF THAT FATHER MAKES
Siberian Daddy Is Supposed to Be in
No Hurry to Get Rid of Marriage
able Daughter.

Ordinarily fathers of manageable
approach Of prospective son-in-law,
and are not at all given to being asleep
when the actual request for the young
lady's hand is made.
But in far-off Siberia, among the
Samnyed, a people who huddle close
about the arctic circle, things are
different, and the father is, or pre-
tG14s to be, more or less asleep when
the matchmaker arrives, and has to
he awakened.
The girls father always assumes
pensive, taciturn attitude, a sort of
drowSy, uninterested air, even If the
terms offered are entirely to his lik-
ing. AS one gift after another is prof
fered, he still preserves his silence,
and even mods as though the whole
thing made him tired and sleepy.
Finally, the matchmaker, apparently
al the end of his patience, strikes the
uninterested parent with the ceremo-
NAL iron staff which he carries.
Then the father, thus rudely
awakened to a sense of his obliga.
tons, promises to consult his son or
other male relative about the mat
ter. This he does, but only as a mat
ter of form, for when the proceed
ings have reached this stage it is al
ready certain that the marriage will
take place.

WHERE FLAPPER IS UNKNOWN
Life in Japan Seems Largely Matter
of Negations for Both Girls
and Women.

In Japan the 'fiapper" has not ar.
rived. The majority of japanese
lyoung girls never exchange a word
with a man of marriageable age out,
side their own immediate family.
There is no masculine audience for
young feminine coquettes and there il
no masculine eye to admire the little
personal adornments, the choice Of
which fills such a large part of the
frivolous western sisters exciting life,
I 1t would seem indeed that life for
the young Japanese girl is mainly a
matter OF negatiOns, observes the New
East Magazine. She has no real clothes
problem Her dress has been designed
( by some mysterious power long be
fore she was born. 1t has been de-
creed that at a certain age she shall
wear certain cOlOrs, which must be
changed at certain seasons. Her
kimOnO shall have longer or shorter
sleeves on this or that occasion. Her
obi shall be so high and of such and
such COlors. She has not even to think
the same mysterious power has decreed
that the hair shall be oiled, stiffened,
cOmbed and twisted into a given pat
tern. As this mysterious power has to
be obeyed, hairdresser has to be EN-
ployed regularly for the right fixing
of this couture.
A Japanese girl is scarcely an indi-
vidual, but is rather part of a plan,
and her silhouette must correspond
with the plan. A husband having been
obtained for her, dowry provided, her
wardrobe filed she has not even TO ex-
ercise originality in the furnishing Of
her home. The same mysterious pow
er has decreed how this home shall
look.

British PhIeqm.

The aforementioned imperturbahle
British phlegm was never better dem

vivors of a torpedoed English hos
pital ship, who had been in the wa

English officer was assisted over the
rail, and one of, the American officers
took the occasion to tell him how
glad the Yanks were to have him on
board. "He replied" says the writer,

HAMMOND IDEA is OK.
CreWlesS Ship Proves to Be a
Success.
Army and Navy Experts Report That
Wireless Control Is
Possible.

Washington.-Army and navy ex-
perts have reported the device of John
Hays Hammond, Jr., for radio control
of surface craft to be sent laden. with
explosives against enemy ships a sur
cess, and predict similar results with
submerged craft showing above water
only wireless antennae.
Results of tests were made public
in connection with the new fOrtifica-
lions appropriation bill, which carries
$475,0O0 for construction Of an exper-
mental submerged boat.
Secretary Baker wrote the house
appropriations committee, which is
considering the bill, that the joint
army and navy board was convinced
of the practicability of the control" of
the surface craft, and added that there
had also been demonstrations of the
possibility of the control OF craft
completely submerged except for an
air intake pipe.
Before finally deciding on the pur-
chase of the patents for $750,000 the
board desires further experiment with
the submerged craft.
Construction of the submerged
craft, which will be about 80 feet
long by feet in diameter, will take
two years, according to Mr.. Hammond.
who told the committee he has spent
ten years and 100000 on his inven-
ton.
"There Is no question whatever as
TO the ability to control with great
accuracy the torpedo or carrier" said
a letter of Maj. Gen. F. w. Coe. a
member of the board, $50 long as 1t is
surface vessel or has any antennae
above the water, by direct radio
waves, either from shore or from an
airplane."
With a shore station having height
of 80 feet above sea level radio con-
troll of the craft has been demonstrate
ed to the board up to a distance Of
seven miles, but General Coe said that
If controlled from an airplane there
was no limit as to distance except the
propelling power of the torpedo or the
boat that carried 1t or the airplane.
