Yet thS park mystery is as great a mystery as it was on Tues day afternonn.

The farmer who is in a position to send his boys to college to study for arff of the learned profession medi cine, law, or what not usually con siders that the boys who stay at home to work the farm can find all the necessary education they need in the common school.. It is now an accepted view that, in all depart ments of human effort the educa ted man has a decided advantage. There is no occupation in which more new theories and speculations and more problems are constantly arising than on the farm.. Scientific farming today under the methods developed at the experiment station and by practical men everywhere is no more kin to the old haphazard kind than the wheelbarrow resembles the modern locomotive. The farm er who works without a knowledge of the laws of - plant and animal growth and of soil fertility is like the sailor navigating the seas with out compass or rudder. He merely sails before the breeze, but when tne storm comes ana snoais appear his vessel is wrecked. M., V. Rich ards in Southern Farm Magazine. Yeani Man, Save Toar Mono. It is almost impossible for a young man who does not save money to make a business start in the world. Most young men are wishing for bet ter, positions and bewailing the im possibility oi doing, anything on a small salary. They want to go west or south, they want to make money hand over fist but their ambitions are checed right at the start for the want of a little ready money to be gin on. A young man who has not the stamina and backbone to put aside little temptations and save portion oi his salary each week or each month is not likely to accom plish much in life. If his purpose is not strong enough to enable him to make a few sacrifices for the sake of his ambition he cannot expect to be successful ultimately. The history of .successful men shows strong pur pose and invincible-determination.-r American Boy, . The Power of Cotton. While cotton was cultivated for fifteen hundred years before Christ by Hindoos and is cultivated to some extent by other countries, it is-in the south that over three-fourths of the world's supply is raised. With our youth skilled in every detail of cotton growingr -seed selection, plant breeding, fertilizing, preparing the seed-bed, cultivation we may con fidently expect the south to hold - a practical monopoly of the . world's greateststapTe crop, and at the same time continue to increase the yield to meet the ever increasing demands of civilization.' ; Dr. Walter H. Page, of the world's Work, is correct in hi3 prediction that "we are in sight of the time when the cotton grower of the old slave states .will become the most prosperous tiller of the earthi" It is a question of increas ing the yield per acre, reducing the cost per bale, improving the Jibre, and maintaining a fair price for the products. The Cotton" Journal, s , Men No Good to a Town. - Dead men are only fit to inhabit cemeteries, v If they - are decently dead, dead all over, we tenderly lay them away in the sleep of the. tomb; but if they are dead to all the enter prise out of the narrow plane of their own interests and yet persist in walking around, moving their dry bones, calloused hearts and con sciences where real business is wont to throb and pulse with vigor, they are only like the drone bees, in the way until they are stung to death and dragged outside the hiv6 Of le gitimate industry.

Forsald by Nashvi-ljo Drug Co, . . . A Contrast. When Miss Loving was called up on to tell her story in the murder trial at Houston, Va., the court room, by order of the judge, was cleared of all except those whose presence was necessary to the con duct of the case. Commenting upon this, the-Nashville Banner remarks that "it is in pleasing contrast with the conduct of the Thaw trial ew iorK, wnere numbers oi wo men thronged the court room throughout the trial, listening eager ly and unblushingly to the most sa lacious details, and where Evelyn Thaw was compelled to relate her pitiful story in the presence of gaping crowd." we could never imagine a scene anywhere in the South like that which was daily pre sented in the Thaw trial. Southern women art too well-bred and have too keen a sense of the proprieties of life and of their station in life, to lend their 'presence to sensational court scenes; and when a woman has to tell a story of embarrassment, southern chivalry protects her as far as possible. -Chaiio L te Chronicle .- Not All Alike. prosperity never strikes two men the same way. Let some people be come prosperous and the days of their usefulness have well-nigh de parted. This is especially true of the negro who is making wages that are a little above his necessities. You not infrequently hear it said that high wages have ruined him. He makes enough in a week to keep him going a month and he is consequent ly inclined to loaf. Then what seems to be prosperity to one man doesn't look that way to another. One man will see the country in a prosperous condition when the "big fish are eating up the little fellows." Another can't see and prosperity in it unless the "lit- tle'flsh are feeding on the big one. ' Uthers still think that the country is prosperous when money is circulating, crops are "good, pro ducts are in demand or labor is high This is probably the view of the aver age man, but prosperity doesn't strike all alike. Maa'i Body. On an average man's body there are 340,000 hairs. Plucking one ev ery second, it would take him twelve eight-hour work days to pull them all out. In his blood there are 25, 600,000,000,000 red corpuscles. Laid out side by side they would cover a surface of 3,130 square yards. The whole of the blood pases through a man's heart nearly twice in every minute, It weighs one-thirteenth of the entire body weight, and it moves in different parts of the body at speeds varying from ten feet to 1,666 yards (nearly one mile) ' an hour. The fat of your body is fluid. It becomes solid when the body cools after death. It is one of your most useful constituents, forming a non conducting sheath to protect you from cold, acting as pads to preserve from shock, on the tips of the fingers the toes, and the heels, and lying al ways ready as a reserve food supply when you can get nothing to eat. -.. - Jurors For August Term.
