It is gratifying to learn irom far ro ars here and there thai they aro plan aing to iow wheat in this region more ixtsnsively than formerly. It does seem that almost every farmer, could sow a few acres o! land in wheat and realize good profit from it. A farmer 'aid tG-day that his observation and experience lead Mm to believe that wheat is a good crop for stock. Ho: .es do well on wheat and he said that wjlh the proper care an acre of land will produce as much in wheat as in corn. This is the seasou of the year for farm ers to commence planning for a wheat ci op. It ought to be planted reason ably early. There seems to be a deep laid plan in the Fifth district to defeat W.W.KUcb in for Congress. At first it was sent jut through the papers that Mr. Lind say Patterson had declined to axvpt tbe nomination as an independent candidate for Congress against Kitchm, but it transpires that later he accepted. Hon. V. W. Kitchin has been up in Main doing some good work for De mocracy. Hon. E. W. Puo has also been campaigning in the "Pine Tree State," snd The News and Observer makes the following commentson their vvrk : 'The vote of Maine's Republican Governor is 11,153 less that two years ago. That's what Will Kitchia's and Ed. Pou's speeches did for the itadica-s in Maine. Iwe could epare them to Maine for a whole campaign and the people would go out to hear them, ilsine could be brought into the Dem ocratic column. The following which appeared in che Biblical Recorder recently is well worth reading . "It was stated that 10,000 negroes at- tended the recent Race Congress in Atlanta. We carefully examined the reports of the speeches. It seems to us that one might have given worlds to be tbare and to speak compellingly one message to the colored people. Their landers seem never to know. They talked about the status of the race. They look stock of the public advancement of the race. They were much concerned, every one of them, to be leaders. Every negro that wants any thing appears to want to lead to be a ; great f preacher or politician. Their thoughts are all bent this way. And they talk to the race as if they expected every one ol them to be "leaders." They overlook a great fact. It is this : The average negro mu3t serve. Only a few can lead, and they must lead men who serve, and they must lead them, if any progress shall be achieyed, into better service, not out ol it. The negroes do not care to serve each other. They aspire to lead each other; they mii3t seive the white people. No matter v about theories, .this is the truth. The negro must serve the white race or die. This is his mission in America, and will be until all people now living shall be dead and forgotten yes, forgotten. , hhe negro must perform the lower ' grades of service. Cook, washer women, hostler, janitor, hand. This is true as truth can be. And in light of it this great conference fooling about xelation to the white man, social progress, religious standing and poli tical condition, is most pathetic and ludicrous. The line of the negro's advancement lies along progress in cooking and other such work. What did the Conference do to give the world intelligent and honest and skil ful cooks, nurses, butlers and hands? That is the bis Question. That it the real question. The negroes in con ference are preachers, teachers, politi cians, leaders. And they are preach ing to and teac'-ing and leading only themselves standing off and baying a a big time while the negro race back at home cooks miserably and the white race threatens to go to Scandinavia for cooks and servants. In Heaven's name let the "big" ne groes quit fooling and get to leading their race in pastures that the race is fit for. It must make progress along natural and easy lines. It cannot pos sibly make progress in any other way. Tbe hope of the negro ij wholly in improving him there where he stands not in lifting him out of his capa bilities. Make a better cook or ser vant or worker of him or her and you have taken tbe first step. Only then PECULIAR HABIT. OUGHT TO 2E AVOIDED. Masinrisiss Shorten Life. Selected. One's health may be seriously im- paired, on-S'c- life may even be shorten ed by permitting msfmerisaw to grow into fixed habits. There are a score of such mannerisms which are likely to do one serious injury. Such apparently harmless practices as blinking the eyes rapidly, moisten ing the lips with the tongue, picking tbe teeth, scratching one's head or breathing through the mouth when carried to excess become very bad habits. Take, ior instance', the' common "trick" of moistening the lips with the tongue. If you make a habit ot this you will make your lips drier and drier and render the nerves cf them extreme ly sensitive. x Eventually you will coa tract permanently cracked lips, which besides being painful and annoying are likely to produce cancer. If this dis ease be hereditary you run a good cnance of getting it. Why any man should blow his nose when he does not want to is a mystery, but hundreds of people, especially el derly ones, have the habit. It is ex tremely bad for the nasal nerves and membranes. If done constantly when iu health it will, sooner dr later, pro-1 duce chronic nasal catarrh." It jou find yourself blinking your eves rapidly witffcfit euy cause, stop it at onse or it will grow Into an incur able habit, that will make your eye sight faii comparatively early ic life. Natural blinking is neeeesary o clear and moisten the eye. The aver age number of natural b'mks is about twenty par minute. Sat a nervous blinker will gat in something like a couple of hundred in a minute la bad cases. The result of this is a big de velopment of the eyelid mu3cle!. It J oasidea -iinvolvea W ccunterirntalion which acts on the optic nerve, and renders the sight daily more weak and irritable.-, Oace contract thi3 habit, and you will nad you cannot bear a strong, lignt or read small type, and the eyes will get Wurse and worse. The cure consists in keeping the eves shut lor at least ten minutes every hour, and bathing the lids in warm water. It is unwise to breathe through your mouth. If you do you will let the lower half of your lungs fall almost en tirely into disuse. They are not filled if you breathe through your mouth, and the lungs wiil be weakened and left an easy prey to maladies of the chest. The system will besides be fed by only about one half the oxygen it requires. Thousands of people con tract this dangerous habit, which is realy a life shortener. If you sleep with your mouth open you will get about half the benefit of a night's rest. This frequently is tbe cause of "that tired feeling" on waking in tbe morning. If there be any epi demic floating you double your chance of catching it, and halve your chances of recovering, as you weaken the lungs. Never pick the teth. It will make a difference of yeas in the life of yonr teeth, and send you to the dentist be fore your time. The habit, even after meals, will, sooner or later, start the enamel of the teeth and cause decay. Some xieople contract the habit of pick ing the teeth when they have nothing else to do. This will put a good, sound set ot teeth on ' the road to decay at . least six or seven years before they ought to go. You will lose your sleep, pay a dozen deutist's bills and then wish you had left toothpicks alone. Brush your tbeeh, instead, with a good powder after every m6al, if possible. No Food In Alcohol- The Libuor Pioblem. ' A number of soldiers of the same lage, of the same type of constitution, living under the same- ci rcu instances,, eating tbe same food- breathing the same atmosphere,- were ; divided,iiat6 t vo gangs an alcoholic, gaijg an4; nonalcoholic gang and engaged foJ certain work. The alcoholic, gang" went far absad at first. . They., had buckets of beer at tbeir side,', and , as they got a little tired they took beer, and the nonalcoholic gang were -hi "an hour or two left nOwherel but the energies of the beer drinkers speedily began to flag, and, do what they would, before the end of the day the nonalcoholic gang had left them far behind. Thus goes an old-time argument for using alcohol- There is no fool, no strength, uo good in it. H Ths Model .Church. "Vickei 's'.filofrtWy.- Well, wife, I 'ye found a model church, And worshipped there to-day? It made me think of good old times, Before my hair was gray. The meeting-house was finer built Than they were years ago, But then, I found when I went in It was not built for show. The spzton did not sit me down Away back al tbe'door, He knew that I was old and deaf, And saw that I was poor. He must have been a Christian man, He led me gently through The crowded aisle of that grand church To find a pleasant pew. I wish you'd heard that singing, wife, It had tbe old-time ring ; Ihe preacher said, with trumpet voice, "Let ffll tbfi nartnln aino !" ;0!d Coronation? via the time, Tbe music upward rolled, Until I though tbe angel choir Struck all their harps of gold. ily deafness seemed to melt away, My spirit caught the fire ; I joined my fesble, trambling voica With that rhef?2!ous choir And sang as in my youthful days, "Let angels prostrate fall ; Bring forth tbe royal diadem And crown him Lord o. all !"

The earnest preacher tried ; He talked not of himself or creed, But Jesus, crucified. .

I hope to meet that minister That congregation, too, In that dear home . beyond the stars That shine from heaven's blue ; I doubt not I'll remember, Beyond life's evening gray, That happy hour of worship In the model church, to-day. Dear wife, tbe toil will soon be o'er, The vict'ry soon be won ; The shining land is just ahead, Our race is almost run.

" -: : Truly i - : Eurcp3 Unites To ' Protect Bird s Useful to Agriculture. Right along the line of the work done by the humane societies is the European international agreement which was concluded at Paris recently and provided for the protection of b?rds useful to agriculture. Belgium, France, Greece, Austria-Hungary, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain are all parties to the agreement, besides 3eversl smaller provinces. Anion? the birds accounted useful and therefore to ba protected are certain nocturnal birds, as well as bee-eaters, swallows, and several hiraa of the spar row species. Ravens, magpies jays and a few others are branded as mis chievous. In Ita'y the capture of northbound b'rds has become a regular trade, and as a natural consequence she does not appear among tue signers to the agreement. HE DIDN'T MEAN EUROPE. The pastor "was making a call. "Ah, Mrs. Fastleigh," he said, dolefully, "have you made any preparations for the journey to the other land ?" "Oh, yes," was the animated reply. "My traveling-dress and several others are all done, and John is going to order the steamer-rug and a new trunk to-day." TAKE CARE OF THE STOMACH.
