CRADLES OF GREAT EDITORS
Many Editorial Giants Got Their Early
Training on Village Newspapers
Of New England.

The old New England village news
papers nourlshed a race of journalistic
giants. II was from a little Connect'
cut Office, that Of the Connecticut
Mirror, that keen Yankee, named
George l.. Prentice, went forth to pre-
pare the way for that great light OF
Southern journalism, Henry Waiter
son.
The dlngy little printing shops Of
Vermont trained In the service of the
types many men who afterward be-
came eminent In metropolitan and
western journalism. But the case Of
Greeley was an epic In itself. No more
uncouth and miserable little wretch
ever sought employment. But he
frightened up the Northern Spectator
with his youthful writings, which were
then, as ever after his very own, and
not mere imitation Addisonlanlsms.
From the shop in East l'oultney he
went forth to an illustrious career;
and, whether 1t liked him or not, the
country had TO listen 70 him. His
brain not infrequently-so his country
men would now express it--sllpred n
cog. There We're strange lapses IN his
intellectual and moral achievement,
but none In his honesty or his good
VIII toward his fellow countrymen.

DON'T BLAME THE CHILD

Don't scold your children for lack
of control over the kidney secretions.
II is not always the children's fault
in many cases it means weak kidneys
and can be readily righted. Read
this Clovis mothers advice.
Mrs. O. H. Hullinger, 0OS N Pile
St, Clovis, says; "A few years ago,
one of my children was troubled with
weak kidneys. The child had little or
no control over the action Of the
kidneys, especially at night. This
trouble made my housework hard and
burdensome. One box Of Doan's
Kidney Pills completely and perma-
nontly cured her of the trouble. I
can conscientiously advise mothers
having children troubled in this way
to give them Doan's Kidney Pills.

The attention of botanlsts has lately
been recalled to experiments made at
Juvlsy near Paris, by NJ. Flammarion
on the effect of exposing the seedlings
OF sensitive plants to lights of differ
ent colors. Having placed four pairs
OF mlmosa seedlings in four separate
pots In n hothouse he covered one
pair with bell of blue glass, another
with bell of green glass, a third with
a bell of red glass, while the fourth
was exposed to ordinary white light.
At the end Of two months the plants
subjected to blue light were only one
Inch high, having hardly grown at all.
Those exposed to white light were
four inches high, those that had grown
In green light were FIVE inches high,
while those whose light had been red
were no less than 10 inches high.
Experiments with other kinds Of
plants gave various results, but in ev.
cry instance blue light lmpeded growth
and development.

Euealyptus.oll Industry.

The pioneer of the Australian eu-
calyptus-oll industry wac John White,
Surgeon General to the Settlement"
who came TO Sydney with the first
fleet, says the Sydney Bulletin. The
following passage occurs In his "Jour-
nal Of Voyage to New South Wales"
published In London In 1880:
The name Of peppermint tree has
been given to this plant by Mr.. White
on account Of the very great resem-
blance between the essential oil drawn
from Its leaves and that obtained from
the peppermint Nlentha plperita)
which grows in England. This oil
was found by Mr.. White to be much
more eflicaclous In removing all
chollcIy complaints than that of the
English peppermint, which he attrib-
utes TO Its being less pungent and
more aromatic.
White not only used the oil in n. s.
Wales, but sent some to England. He
got II from tree which he called
Eucalyptus plperlta, hut which was
afterwards renamed T.. capltellata.
