How many of our Progressive Farmer boys and girls know and love the poet Longfellow ? Thousands of them, we hope, for while his poetry does not betoken the highest genius, it is always inspiring and helpful. Last week February 27th the one hundredth anniversary of his birth was celebrated throughout the coun try, and many articles about him were published. The following is an interesting extract from the March Century about Longfellow as a boy : "Longfellow was a very handsome boy, retiring without being reserve ed, active and. eager. He was kind- hearted and affectionate; sensitive, impressionable, impetuous. He had blue eyes and chestnut hair ; his com plexion was delicate ; his cheeks were rosy. His eyes were full of expres sion, and he looked one square in the face. He was a normal boy, and a devotee of all a boy's games. He snow-balled, coasted, skated, flew kites, and swam. Sometimes he would" tramp through the woods with a gun, but most of all. he liked to lie under a tree and read. "To such a boy the old farm was enchanted ground. He knew where the crimson cardinal-flowers bloom ed, where the largest of the trout lived in the little brook, where the robins nested year after year, and where to set home-made 'box-trap's' for chipmunks along the low stone walls. He followed the mowers at haying-time, 'trod' the load, and road upon it to the great barn. In au tumn he enjoyed the gayety of the corn-husking, watched the spinning wheel being fed from the heap of carded wool, and helped to fill the quills when the household loom was weaving homespun for clothing for the men and boys. The love of na ture, which was to be a thing of greatness in his works and life, was in the forming. Nowhere would he more inevitably have learned to love living things than at Wadsworth Hall. The woods; the pleasant reaches of sunlit meadows ; toe fields where he searched for berries ; the pastures, pennyroyal-scented, where the cattle grazed; the brook, with its minnows ; the little bridge under which the pewee built ; the river, the humming song of whose fall was heard by the boy in the quiet of night all these played their part to make the completeness and beauty of that conception of nature which was Longfellow's." Our Queer lanjuage. Selected. Imagine yourself a foreigner striv ing to master the construction of the English language. Perhaps you may be gazing at a number of ves sels on the water and exclaim : "See what a flock of ships !" You are at once told that a flock of ships is called a fleet, and that a fleet of sheep is a flock. It might also be added for your future guidance that a flock of girls is called a bevy, while a bevy of wolves is called a pack ; yet a pack of thieves is called a gang, and a gang of angels is called a host ; but a host of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is called a herd. Still, a herd of chil dren is called a troop, but a troop of partridges is called a covey ; a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, while a galaxy of ruffians is called a horde; f uther a horde of rubbish is a heap, yet a heap of oxen is colled a drove; a drove of blackguards is called a mob; but a mob of whales is called a school ; a school of worshippers is called a congregation, while a con gergation of engineers is called a corps ; a corps of robbers is called a band, though a band of ocusts is call ed a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd; a crowd of pictures is called a collection; but a collection of monkeys is called a hoard, and a hoard of people is called a company, a company of ministers, however, is called an assembly and an assembly of soldiers is called a muster.

Nature intended us to breathe through the nostrils and ii for any reason this becomes difficult or mi possible, we suffer for it. The nose not only warms, or at least tempers, the air as it is drawn through it into the air-tubes, but it also filters it in great measure, keep ing back not only much of the solid matter in the form of dust, but also the bacteria carried by the1 dtist paf : tides or floating in the moisture of the air. In mouth-breathers the air strikes the back of the throat and rushes into the windpipe bef3re the chill has been taken off, and while it is still laden with dust and bacteria. In this condition it causes local irri tation, which results in congestion of the mucous membrane lining the air-passages. This congestion when long continued passes into chronic inflammation, or catarrh. The inflammation gradually spreads, if the cause continues, and often passes from the throat into thfe ears, where it produces a thickening of the delicate structures there, and finally deafness. The mucous membranes throughout the air-pas sages and all their ramifications be come thickened, secrete phlegm, and lose in great part their power of re sistance to the germs of pneumonia, diphtheria and other diseases-. The causes of mouth-breathing are numerous; anything that ob structs or narrows the upper air passages nose and vault of pharynx forces the sufferer to breath through the open mouth. A defor mity of the nose, the presence of "adenoids" or enlarged tonsils may cause the trouble. Examination for such conditions should be made whenever a child is seen to breath habitually with the mouth open, and as soon as the cause is discovered it should be removed. So many serious consequences may follow mouth breathing that it should never be allowed to go on a moment after its cause is ascertained. One cause that is not often sus pected is a deformity of the nose resulting from the use of improper nursing-bottles by babies, but the most common is the presence of ade noids. It is useless to scold or remonstrate with a mouth-breathing child if the habit is caused by the air-passages being blocked by growths that call for removal He must breath to live, and if the legitimate channels for air are closed by disease, nature does her next best. Mother's Love. Selected. Few people stop to think that their individual happiness is not dependent on outside circumstances. A habit of happiness can be cultivat ed, like any other habit and just as successfully. Happiness is as much a duty as cleanliness and morality. The cheer ful, hopeful temper which refuses to let itself be harrowed up, it is everyone's duty to cultivate. There is a beautiful legend that at crea tion's dawn an angel came down to earth, seeking something to take back with it to heaven. It returned with a boquet of flowers, a baby's smile and a mother's love. When it reached the pearly gates of Paradice again the flowers had withered, the baby.s smile had vanished, but moth er's love was found to be as pure and eternal as the waters that flowed by the heavenly throne, and all the an gels exclaimed: "There is nothing on earth pure enough for heaven but a mothers love."

"In 1897 I had a stomach disease. Some physicians said Dyspepsia, some Consumption, one said I would not live until Spring. For four year I existed on boiled milk, soda biscuits, and doc tors' prescriptions. I could not digest anything I ate; then I picked up one of your Almanacs and it happened to be my life-saver. I bought a fifty-cent bot tle of KODOL and the benefit I received from that bottle all the gold in Georgia could not buy. In two months I went back to my work, as a machinist, and in three wonths I was well and hearty. May youlivelong and prosper. " C. N.

A Bad Looking Legal Case That Saved by Frankness. Was D. J. Brewer in Atlantic. The lawyer whose honesty is proved has the confidence of the judge and jury. A story of Abra ham Lincoln is an illustration. He was appointed to defend one charged with murder. The crime was a brutal one, th evidence entirely cir cumstantial, tne accused1 a stranger: Feeling was high and against the friendless defendant. On the trial Lincoln drew from the witnesses full statements of what they saw and knew. There was no effort to con fuse, no attempt to place before the jury the facts other than they were. In the argument, after calling at tention to the fact that there was no direct testimony, Lincoln reviewed the circumstances, and, after con ceding that this and that seemed to point to defendant's guilt, closed by saying that he had reflected much on the case, and, while it seemed proba ble that defendant was guilty, he was not sure, and, looking the jury straight in the face; said; "Are you ?" The defendant was acquitted, and afterwards the real criminal was de tected and punished. How different would have been the conduct of many lawyers! .Some would have striven to lead tip judge into tech nical errors with a view to an appeal to a higher court. Others would become hoarse in denunciation of witnesses, decrying the lack of posi tive testimony and the marvelous virtue of a reasonable doubt. The simple, straightforward way of Lin coin, backed by the confidence of the jury, won. Chinaman's Ear Bis Parse. (New Ybrk Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch.) "Just watch that Chinaman when the conductor comes for his fare," said a keen eyed man to the fat man, who was wedged in beside him on an "L" train. The two watched, saw the Chinaman clap his hand to his ear for a second and then hand the conductor a nickel. "Well, I did not see anything unusual," observed the fat man, "except that he kept the conductor waiting while he scratched his ear." "That was just the point," explained the keen-eyed man. "He had to scratch his ear to get his moneyl Chinaman keep their car fare in their eiars, some times a ten-cent piece and sometimes a nickel. I've watched them dig it out time and time again. It's a more convenient place for carrying change than in their trousers pock ets, for they'd be ages getting into their voluminous draperies. It's a good sight better habit, too, than holding coins between one's teeth, which you see pretty girls doing every day." First Man Dressmaker. One day in 1730 a beautiful carriage appeared on the boulevard of Paris with an escutcheon in the shape of a pair of corsets and an open pair of scissors painted on the panel of each door. This was the coat of arm3 of Rhomberg, the first man who made a name as a woman's dressmaker. Rhomberg, who was the son of a Ba varian peasant from the neighbor hood of Munich, owed his rapid suc cess to his genius for concealing and remedying defects of figures. He left an annual income of 50,000 francs to his heirs. There are many kidney remedies but few that accomplish the results.

A vaingloriously American, talk ing with an Israelitish friend, rather pompously remarked, "I don't thing you know that one of my ancestors was present at the signing of the Declaration of Independence," The Israelite answered: "Yes, that is very fine; that is good. But let me tell you one of my ancestors was present when the tables of stone were handed down to Moses." Saved Her Son's Life. The happiest mother in the little town of Ava, Mo., is Mrs. S.

Asiatic Cotton Growing. American cotton seed planted in the experimental grounds of Corea, 175 acres being cultivated, yielded the past season 100 bales, weighing 50,000 pounds, says the British Beard of Trade Journal, which adds. The fiber is said to be soft, with exceptional luster and well suited for mixture in the spinning of the yarn. It is valued at $11.29 per hun dred pounds. The people interested hope to produce 1,000 bales next sea son aiid 10,000 the year following. Estimates give 175,000 as the" possible number of acres of cotton lands in Korea, and the yearly yield of these as 100,000 bales of 500 pounds each. Experiments made In 190fi resulted in 400 pounds to each acre. The land experimented on was well and carefully cultivated by intelli gent Korean coolies. No such in tense cultivation - could b'6 carrrid out on a very large scale, still, if Japan can get 100,000 bales of up land cotton per annum from Korea, it means just that much less in her purchases in the United States. A sample of Cotton grown in the Otto man Empire part of 400 pounds picked on less than an acre is on ex hibition in London. The land ori which it grew was not cultivated last year, the cotton growing on plants left over from the previous Season. One hundred aeres ne"af where this sample grew have been prepared for cotton. These were to be planted during the month of February. Why Is It? (Practical Farmer: Why is it that a man, who writer a clear and legible letter, every word of which is easily read, will wind it up With an undecipherable querle que for his name; literally a no:n de plume that Conceals his identity completely, and which we often have1 to paste on a letter for the postmas ter to translate? Whatever else you may write indistinctly let your name be plain. We can usually make out indistinct words in manucript from the connection, but the name has no connection with anything in the let ter. Therefore, do not practice any commercial college hieroglyphics or flourishes with your signature. There are business men who im agine that a much contorted signa ture is hard to forge, but the fact is, that the hardest signature to imitate is the plain one, as any writing ex pert will tell you.

Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps to bacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these imitations are R J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WlNSTON-SALEM, N. C. RICHES IN CORNSTALKS. Enough Power New Wasted to Run All (he Nation's Machinery. Leslie's Weekly.

Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell S-OH-N-A-P-P-S and then you have it the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound, in 5c. cuts, strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs.
