Fireworks in History.

The business of making fireworks
and the business of setting off elabo-
rate displays are sometimes called
''the art of pyrotechny," the word ''py-
rotechny" being compounded of two
Greek words meaning fire art" There
is an extensive literature on the sub
ject.
References may be found in the
writings of Nautilus and Vespicus to
the fact that fireworks were set off in
connection with the circus in ancient
Rome, and Claudianus, who wrote In
the Fourth century, mentions "whirl-
ing wheels and fountains of fire" In
connection with the celebration Of GER
tain festivals. Fireworks, and which
should not be COMPOUNDED with mere
bonfires, were set Off as spectacles and
ceremonies during the reign of Henry
VII. Henry VIII, Elizabeth and other
English monarchs. In those early
English days dragons spouting fire
were a popular form Of fireworks. In
a book written on the subject In 1913
there is. a reference to trees and
fountains of fire sent high up into
the air."

SEASONAL GARDEN TIPS

Early blight, witch is highly de-
structive to early potatoes, may be
controlled by spraying the plants
with Bordeaux mixture when they
are from six to eight inches high.
About May l is the time to SOW
the wrinkled-seeded variety of peas.
Planting them about two and one
half or three Ninches deep is said to
prolong the bearing period.
In placing cabbage, tomato, egg
plant or any other plants that are
set In the garden, it is best to keep
the ground level, according to gar
deners at the College of Agriculture.
This brings the roots of the plants
nearer the water table and prevents
excessive evaporation of moisture.
The Colorado potato beetle can be
controlled by busting the plants with
paris green as soon as they come up.
The busting should be repeated as
often as necessary.
This is the season of the year when
it is necessary to keep the ground
in good cultivation to prevent bak-
ing which often keeps many young
plants from breaking through the
soil. Much baking or crusting usual
ly follows heavy rains.
In planting the large growing va
rieties of peas, it is a good idea to
plant two rows about eight to ten
inches adpart and then place the net
ting or sticks between the two.
Economy in stalking is thus made
possible by making one row of net
ting serve two rows of peas.

HELD SECRET OF HAPPINESS
John WesIeys Nearly Ninety Years
Passed With Remarkably Few
Periods Of Depression.

There was John Wesley. His "Jour-
nal," with Its record of interchangeable
labor, Is one Of the cheeriest books In
the language. What a rare good time
he had When he was eighty-seven he
could say, II do not remember to have
felt lowness of spirits for a quarter
Of an hour since 7 was born" For
more than sixty years this indefatig-,
able pleasure-seeker had been doing
as he pleased. Up every day In time
TO preach at five o'clock in the morn
Ing; then over the hills or through
the pleasant lanes to preach again at
the time lazy citizens were ready for
breakfast; Off again, on horseback, or
by chaise or In numbering stage
coach, for more preaching. Now
and then facing mob, or being wet
through In thunder storm, or stop
ping to get information In regard to
some old ruin. Between sermons he
refreshed his mind with all sorts and
conditions Of books. On the pleasant
road to Chatham he reads Tasso's
Jerusalem Delivered" On the road
to Aberdeen he loses himself delight
edly in the misty sublimities of Os-
sian. "Orlando Furioso" is good Satur-
day reading The eager octogenarian
confesses that "Astolpho's shield and
horn and voyage to the moon, the
lance that unhorses everyone. the all
penetrating sword, and l know not
how many impenetrable helmets and
shields" are rather too much for his
sober English imagination. Still, they
afford an agreeable interlude In his
missionary journeys. = Samuel Nc
Chord Crothers, In among Friends"

YOUTH NOT GOLDEN SEASON
Modern Writer Takes Issue With 9th
ers Who Have Dubbed It the Best
Period Of Life.

Following Is from "The Way of All
Flesh" by Samuel Butler-not the
Seventeenth century poet, but the
Nineteenth century novelist:
"To me 1t seems that youth is like
spring, an overpraised season-delight-
full If 1t happen to be favored one,
but In practice very rarely favored
and more remarkable, as a general
rule, for biting east winds than gent
al breezes. Autumn Is the mellower
season, and what we lose in flowers
we more than gain in fruits. Fontelle,
at the age of ninety, being asked what
was the happiest time Of his life, said
he did not know that he had ever been
much happier than he then was, but
that perhaps his best years had been
those when he was between fifty-ive
and seventy-five, and DIR. Johnson
placed the pleasures of old age far
higher than those Of youth. True, In
old age we live under the shadow of
death, which, like sword of Damocles,
may descend at any moment, but we
have so long found life to be an affair
Of being rather frightened than hurt,
that we have become like the people
who live under Vesuvius, and chance
1t without much misglving."

Barley Basis Of Weight.

During the reign of Henry VIII
standards of length and weight were
established with actual grains OF
wheat and barley as basis. Three
barley corns were an inch, and from
that was built up our table Of inches,
feet. ellis (yards). perch and acre.
One restriction was that the barley
corn must be dry and taken from the
middle OF the car and laid end to end.
Under this same system 80 grains Of
wheat made pennyweight, and from
that as basis they worked out the
Troy pound In which II ounces still
make a pound. Originally the sizes
of shoes were based upon grains Of
barley. and II is satd that these are
the same today as In the early days.
There were Is grains Of barley to each
size "Furlong' is an old English word
meaning "furrow long" and Is based
upon the length a furrow would be
In a square ten-acre field.

HAD HIS CAR HITcHEp
TIGHT TO THE POST

A story is making the rounds re-
garding joke played on a certain
local taxi driver that is pretty good
1t appears that his car occupied
its usual stand at the depot a few
night ago, and the driver in the
meantime was landing two fares to
carry to town. Time came to leave
and the engine was started, but the
car refused to go forward.
All other cars had left and the
driver worked hard to get a start
Finally it was discovered tn car was
hitched to a post with lot of bal
ing wire.
Offering a reward has failed to this
day to disclose the identity of the
party who did the hitching.

PORTABLE SCHOOLS TEACH
BETTER FARMING METHODS

Portable sheep and poultry schools
built on trucks given by local people
and conducted by extension workers
employed comparatively by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
and the state college of agriculture
went to the doors of homes and the
schools and to fairs In North Caro-
lima and Texas last year. An timer
airy was mapped out for each school
and Advertisements we're sent ahead
announcing the date and hour of its
arrival at each place.
Large enthusiastic crowds greeted
the school at each stop, and the in
terest of school children was especi-
ally noticeable. This type of school
is not only bringing results, but is
demonstrating the need of more of
such work so that information may
be carried directly to the farmers no
matter how inaccessible the commun-
ity may be, say officials of the depart
ment.
