C. PETERSON. THE EDITOR'S Observations Judge Boyd in his charge to a jury in Charlotte some days ago said that the newspapers of the country are the leading The Press fiigh-TonerJ. frces in "Procuring intelligent Ameri canism, which is the best safeguard of the nation." The Charlotte News in commenting on Judge Boyd's remarks, adds the following pointed comment: "This is well merited. No profession has attained a higher standard of worthiness than journalism. It is seldom, indeed, that a newspaper is found to be subsidized or conducted on other than the highest plane of integrity and honesty. Occasionally some one who is suffering from stings of publicity levels charges of 'bought off' and the like against newspapers, but the public knows better. The opinion of Judge Boyd is the opinion of the people, and itwould.be impossible to estimate the service of the press to the life of the nation and its institutions." The Statesville Landmark prints a paragraph from the New York Sun which brings to task the Boston Transcript for RebllRe Well Timed. Purism. Many papers take things from other papers, news and edit, -ial matter, and use it as original, and this is what the Sua is charging against the Transcript. The Landmark makes the following general but timely remarks on the subiect: "Sneakine- of plagiarism reminds us that some newspaper writers and pub lic speakers make it a practice to take old jokes sometimes stories that are hoary with age give them a local coloring and pass them as original. People who have never heard the jokes are pleased and think the writer or speaker, as the case may be very bright. But those who have heard them and often this means the major portion of the readers or hearers are always disgusted. One can occasionally stand to hear an o!d,l time worn joke retold, but when a speaker or writer so discredits his hearesor readers as to try to pass one of these ancients as his own, there is an almost incontrolable" impulse to reach for a brick and smash something." - This column is in a fashion set apart for "passing events" with an occasional departure in musings of the editor concern- BlacKberry Pie. iUS ne thin and anther. The blessed summer time with its many good things which other seasons do not have, and the like, is here; and being summer luxury especially, we ing unique eulogy to blackberry pie by the Monroe Enquirer: 'It holds a place in the estimation of all lovers of good things to eat that no other product of land or sea occupies. Blackber ry pie bridges the chasm between the millionaire and the pau per. It is found on the mahogany table of the haughty society leader and on the oil-cloth covered pine table'of the lowly washer-woman. It is on the bill of fare of the grandest hotel and is fed to the inmates of the poor house. The rich man who rides in his gasoline buggy and the poor tramp who rides the rods under the freight cars or steps from cross-tie to cross-tie in the blistering sun, meet on a common level at the lunch counter and botli order blackberry pie. In a word blackberry pie is the one article or diet wmcn mates tne whole world kin. Black berry time, good folks, is here." For twenty years this paper has persistently advocated two things one is temperance lookig to the prohibition of the man ufacture in North Corn Idea Growing. tem of raising corn and meat at home. Prohibition has come, we are thankful to say, and the corn idea is growing through out the South. The Charlotte Observer agrees with us on the corn question. It says: "If Southern farmers raised all that home consumption calls, we are told, something like two hun dred million dollars which now goes elsewhere would be left here. Including corn-fed stock brought in from the West, this estimate is possibly not too high. With much excellent corn land unused for any purpose that in use producing not over half the crop readily obtainable with improved methods, such a drain certainly can be and should be stopped. Of late years corn has brought highly re munerative prices, and hogs, cattle, horses and mules sell at figures which would have seemed-almost fabulous less than a decade ago. Why should the South pay the West enormous tribute for things which its own soil can produca excellently well? It is needless the hog-and-hominy arguments are true as they are familiar to point out Jiow the cotton farmer strength ens his position by adding other strings like these to his bow. The South, clearly, doesn't raise enough corn. Let's pitch in and raise more." Often speakers and writers have a good deal to say about "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Well, it is all right . . . . to have a good deal to say about this "Hewers of Wood and Draw- class of pple fop it is indeeJ a large CrS 01 water. Qne it is well to speak of the "hewers of wood and drawers of water" if it is done in the proper spirit; but quite frequently such reference is made in a way that tends towards an effort to discount honest toil. To be sure, the "hew ers of wood and drawers of water" are no more and no less than laboring people generally; and whoever supposes that he can discount honest toil has undertaken a great impossibility, for God himself decreed in the gray dawn of the world's history that man should live by the sweat of his brow. From the be ginning there have been "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and there must be a place for them to the end of time. And whoever desires to be other than an honest laborer ought so to desire because he sees an opportunity to serve the world and his own destiny better in some other sphere. To spurn the idea of labor simply because it is labor is the sign of a very small mind. It is an evidence that such an one has not come into any knowledge of the divine idea of labor. "Hewers of wood and drawers of water" are'to be highly regarded rather than despised, for the whole system of this world's most impor tant industries rests upon them. Truth is, the world needs more of the manly "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and as long as God's first decree- aboufman's living by the sweat of his brow holds good, this need will remain. .

A suggestion by Spanish manufac turers that Spain plant forests for pulpwood and follow Italy's example by planting quick growing species has been reported to this government by Consul-General Ridgety, of Barcelo na. Spain is waking to the necessity of growing her own timber. Nearly all civilized countries are moving in that direction because it is coming to be understood that countries which do not grow their own timber must go without it for a few decades. It has been customary to cite Spain and China as examples of the dis tressing results which follow forest destruction. Spain is as large as Pennsylvania, Deleware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia,, and North Carolina, but its forests have only three-fourths the extent of West Virginia's alone, and much of them are scrub thickets of a very poor kind. The country's population is be lieved not to exceed one-third of what it once was or what it migh be again. Much of the denuded land is absolutely barren, with the red rock laid bare where agriculture once nourished. Hills, whose rounded forms indicate they once supported forests, are bald and dry now with out inhabitants. In some localities peasants, vvith hammers, pulverize rocks and make litttle patches for soil for gardens. At the present time Spain's most ii'uau'C luicst JJIOUUCL IS CUrK. X lie annual cut is 30,000 tons, but the cork forests are going, as other for ests went, and for the same reason want of care. Enterprising Spaniards are just now trying to supply their country with home-paper, but pulpwood is not to be had except by importing it. The home cut is only 2,500 tons a year about what a sin gle American pulp company would use in three days. Foresters say that there is no rea son why Spain might not do what France, her neighbor on the north, has done, cover her barren places with forest, restore the soil, abate floods, mitigate droughts, provide employment for many, and furnish raw material for manufacturers. WOOD LOTS IN JAPAN. In these times of great drains on the timber supply, caused bv the heavy demand for forest products of all kinds, Americans may see in Japan an example of what can be done in growing wood on small plots. That country contains 21 million woodlots, about "three-fourths of which belong to private persons and one-fourth to communes. The average size of the plots is less than nine-tenths of an acre. They usually occupy the steepest, rough est, poorest ground. In this way land is put to use which would other wise go to waste, - and if unwooded would lose its soil by the wash of the dashing rain3. From Japan'3 woodlots, the yearly yield of lumber is about 88 feet, board measure, per acre, and three fourths of a cord of firewood. In many cases the yield is much higher. More than half a billion trees are planted yearly to make up what i3 cut for lumber and fuel. Assess ment for taxation is low, averaging for the the 21 million lots less than a dollar an acre. With all the care in cutting, and the industry in replanting it is by no means certain that Japan's forests are holding their own. If the pres ervation of the forest3 i3 doubtful there, it is evident that depletion must be alarmingly rapid in other countries which cut unsparingly and plant very little. On the other hand, it is encouraging to see what can be done with rough,steep and poor land. The United States has enough of that kind, without touching the rich ag ricultural acres, to grow billions of feet of Lumber. Tbe Wiiole Snow. When Rubenstein was traveling through the United States upon a concert tour it chanced that Bar num's circus followed exactly the same route chosen by the great Rus sian. On one occasion when the train was filled with snake charmers, acrobats, clowns and the like the guard, noticing perhaps Rubinstein's remarkable appearance, asked him, "Do youbelong to the show?" Turn ing his leonine head with a savage shake, Rubinstein fiercely growled out, "Sir, I am the show!" "I suffered habitually from consti pation.

(The American Boy.) The value of education is not often expressed in dollars and cents, per haps because it is so difficult to measere it with such an exact stand ard. To boys and girls who do not appreciate or understand in how many ways and to what extent a good education will benefit them, the dol lar and cents measurement becomes very impressive, and it was for that reason that Mr. J. H. Hazen, assist ant principal of a New York city high school, made the following re marks before an assembly of high school boys and girls : "We are about to close another term of school work," said he; "to many of you this will mean, for one reason or another, the end of your school training; many of you too many are debating the question is it worth while to continue? . Some of you find the work hard, some have had good positioni offered you and some others will prefer to enter the world's work with such educa tion as you now have. You are making a mistake. Better positions will be open to you with a diploma. Nothing that is good comes without hard work; many of those who leave school early have that to regret. But you will perhaps best under stand what you are missing or losing by not staying with us when I tell you that some one has figured out every day spent in a High School has a money value. He has compared a large number of those who left school before graduating, with an equally large number of those who stayed to carry away a bit of sheep skin. His comparison of the money earning capacity brought out the startling fact that those who leave early really lose $10 for every day they missed, or, to put it in another way, every day spent in High Schqol 13 worth ten dollars. These are ac tual facts. Are you willing to work a little harder for ten dollars a day? Can you do better by going to work now, however tempting your-position may be?" Plague ot Black Mice. (Reno Cor. Sacramento Bee.) A horde of black mice, carrying destruction from field to field, has caused damage estimated by the officials of th3 Department of Agri culture of $250,000 in the Carson River Valley. The press of that part of the State reports that whole fields of alfalfa have been devastat ed, potato crops ruined and shade trees even stripped o their leaves. The government station on the Car son river has placed men in the field to exterminate the plague. . Strych nine is being used in many cases, as was done by the Danberg rangers, south jof ' here. .The black mice plague raged in Humboldt county last fall and during the winter was reported near Genoa.

In the early part of the life of King Christian IX, of Denmark, there was no prospect of his ever becoming the ruler of that country. With this in view he became a schoolmaster at the German university of Halle. Being too poor to keep a servant, the Dowager Czarina Dagmar of Russia, one of his daughters, used to to help her mother to do the house hold work and take care of the younger children. During this pe riod there were King Frederick VII, and several others in the direct line of succession that stood before Prince Christian; but, by a succes sion of deaths that occurred, he be came the heir apparent, and after the death of King Frederick VII, in 1863, he was proclaimed King Chris tian IX of Denmark. Anotncr instance of a similar na ture is that of Louis Philippe. Dur ing the time he was exiled from France, then being the Due de Chart res, he became a teacher of mathe matics and geography in Switzer land. About thirty-six or- thirty seven years afterward, on August 9, 1830, he was proclaimed King Louis Thilippe of the French. A Hive Worth as Mucli as a Ccw. J. H. MeLcndon, in Trosr8fcive Farmer. No farm is complete in its conven iences and business methods with out a few colonies of Italian bees comfortably housed in a most conven ient hive. Honey is one of the farmer's most valuable assets, and in many places a dozen colonies will gather seventy-five to 100 gallons of honey during a single season, worth in many places seventy-five cents a gallon. All the bee wants is a mov able frame hive, in which the honey is stored in a convenient manner for the farmer to get at any hour he may wish to have honey and butter for supper. Thousands of gallons of the very quintesssence of sweetness," as an old bee keeper used to say, is lost in the country for the want of a place to store it. A real stronc colonv of ncuian uees is worm as mucn m a year to a family as an ordinary Jer sey cow is worth. Bees make the Ti i: l. . corn and cotton better by mixing the pollen of the different flowers, there by making the seed larger and heav ier, insuring greater germinating power. Farmers, if they desired, by providing ample storage space for the bees could raise honey to sop both sides of their bread every day in the year and not trouble to make syrup. Honey has valuable meJie inal properties that no other s vest has. "ft i-at mimf (Selected.) "Why, don't you know, I gave you sample to match this morning?" "So you did. By jove.it slipped my mind!"

"If you didn't you are certainly the most forgetful man that I can conceive of." Her husband met her smile with one of the deepest humiliation, as he drew . from his overcoat pocket a small rectangular package. "I am, my dear," he exclaimed. "I am, indeed! I admit! I'm get ting more forgetful every day. Why, do you know " and he flour ished the package in front of her tear-stained eyes "I'm getting so forgetful that I came within an ace of not getting these cigars?

Nature has provided the stomach with certain natural flnkls known as the digestive juices, and it is through these juices that the food we eat is act ed upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that Hows through the veins of our body and thereby makes us strong, healthy and robust, and it is the weakening of these diges tive juices that destroys health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order.
