Uh« AmUm Barttw •*t* "rtm •TKaovMrt M Mm I* la liqalnl aal Wanalaiui mu Arp in Atlanta Ooaauimma. Thrra la no column to ■ newipaper that la *o attractive and instructive at that devoted to question* aod aoawan. Iodred, If any whole page were set awn to this mod* of disusing knowl edge, It would all be read. There are baoka aooagb. of oouraa, but Ui* mmiai of tba people hara not got them and cannot 007 them. Cyclo pedias are expensive, but almoit army •ueoeaafol uawapaper is wall equipped with loot) works aod esc readily refer to them aod auiwer lb* qaeaUooi cor rectly. I waa ruminating about this beoaoae of tba aageraena with which my owe family paruaa all tba quaatlona In tb* Oon*tltuth>n and tba Home and Farm and than make reararoh to answer them. I 000* bad quit* a valuable library, bat about 38 years ago mo* vandal* wiling tbamaalra* wtdWra did feloniously taka, steal aod earry it away, and I have not been able alnoa to supply its plaoa; nevertheless, wa bar* mors books than tb* average family and Bsd great comfort In tbam. Tb* Evening Constitution promt** Its readers a symposium of Iso bta wncw queaiioos evTIM—ana while the people ere seeking the no ■wera, they unavoidably some soroaa much Interesting aod valuable lufor taeUoo. My folks had to read tbe btograpbiea of all the presidents, rrom Wasting ton to Jaofcaoo, before they found out wbtoh of than was married twins to tbe same lady. Tbit Is a food method of diffusing knowledge, end It is graurylng to cute bow many responses an mads by the young peo ple. It Is s pleasant mods of teaching without constraint or discipline. Tbe reward la smalt, bat tbs acquisition of knowledge 1* profitable and endur ing. Thao there is a dare, a banter, a competition about it that makes it In viting. Nothing datura aa old oso'i vanity more than to be appealed to for Infor mation ooooernlng each things. He la proud to have the young people look ■p to him aa a philosopher, a historian, a scholar. Solomon aaya: “Get wisdom; got understanding.” Lord Bacon aayec "Knowledge is power.” and Shake •peare says: "Knowledge is tbe wiog with wtaleh We fly<to Heaven." Moot of os get oar knowledge from books— from the brain of other people who have gone before; but that obtained from thoughtful observation aod ex perience fa tha batter kind. Long, long ago 1 knew an old mao who bad no books and oould hardly write bit name, yet his knowledge or things around him—of the changes of the noon and tbe forebodings ortho weath er, tba growth of plants; the babUe of fowls aod fishes and tba structure of animals was remarkable. I wee dad to be a pupil under such a matter. The other day I thought to show off a Uttle of olj learning at tbe dinner table. It was nut an extraordinary dinner, aod I asked wbat did it oast. They figured <t out to be ebool 76 coats Thau I remarked that the capital in To«*-a 10 procuring mu unpretending EM] was not lees Own 1600,000,000 sod pro employment to 5,000.000 men for It tekee many eblpe and waoy rail roads. Tbe pepper In this little box wae grown in tbe Beat Indies, 10,000 ~na« away. It grew on a little vine about eight fleet blab and not leea tbau Are yearn old. It wae green wben it ni gathered, and »aa then dried In tbe aan until tt turned black. Tbe white pepper le made by taking tbehlaok ■bell off before It la ground. The vine ta nM to be very beautlfal, and the nutivee uae ibe root for a beverage that Intoxloalea them jaet like tbe Mexl eana use me tnagyar plant or tbe Aw erteaoa their rye and oorn. So, you eee, elnoe tbe day of Noah tbe people of every oatioa have found aometbing to exhilarate or Bake them drunk. Well. It took a Alp and 1,000 alias of rail rood to bring this pepper bare. Then hart is tbe tea that Is brought all tbe way from China and the aaffre from Sooth America and Mex loo. Tbe onddeta wa bad for break feet same off tbe ooast of Salon Tula piece of lolled bass eawe from Kaaeaa City. This bread wae made from floor that wae ground from Dakota wheat.
