T HELP ThU FAR -ERS. A Proposition by the Virginia-Caro lna Chemical Company to Extend [n_nS on Poposit of Cotton. To the Division Sales Managers' Virginia-Carolina Che mica Company: Gentlemen: The Tr easurer of this Company is having so many requests th extend the notes of some of our customers and pat rons, who have not finished pay ing their bills, and who desire to hold their cotton ,-stgting tihat they belive they will get more for the cotton later' on, .that this Company has concluded to issue a generaliletter on the subject, as follows: Any farmer or merchants who may be owing 'your. Division money and who has cotton which he desires to hold,, you are at liberty to extend his note for him for six months from January 1st., with interest at the rate of 6 per cent annum, provided he will deposit sufficient cotton to pay the note in any. reliable ware house, and will turn over to you warehouse receipts for same. You are enihorized to pay the in surance on said cotton and make no charge against your customer for this item. We do not pretend to offer advice to our customers to hold cotton, but we do intend to offer them every-facility and accomo dation in our power to hold. their cotton, if in their good jud gment it is best. Whatever inures to the benefit of the agricultural chasses in the South is to our benefit; our interest is identical with theirs. We are more closely and intimately connected with the cotton grower of the South than any dozen other concerns com bined. They 'are our cus',o.,ners in the.purchase of fertilizers, and we are their customers in the purchase of cotton seed. Wo both sell and buy of them and deal in every cotton growing county from Texas to Virginia. Thei efore, anything that will improve the agricultural conditions qr help the farmer must necessarily bene fit us, and if holdir.g their cotton will be a benefit to them, it is our desire to aid them in this as far as we can. Other farm products, aeide from cotton, appear to us to be sel ling at very full values' and we believe it would be wiee in the far mers to sell any of -their other surplus farm products, which would materially aid them in. holding their cotton. We also are of the opinion that the acreage last year devot ed to cotton was too large, and that it never could have been ecltivated in a -normal season. The good weather during the 2< Spring enabled the farmers to eultivate every acre they planted; consequently the tremendous big crop of this year. As ordinarily it would be impossible to cultivate such an enormous acreage, we belive it would be wise in them this year to materially deerease the acreage. If it was decreased 10 per cent it would mean a reduction of more than a million bales next year, even if the crop yielded as much per acre as it did this year. It strikes us that what the farmer wsnt's is 'to make his cotton at the lowest possible cost. The profit derived from growing cotton is -not 80 much - the price of cotton as the cost at which the crop has been grown. Mules and horses are high, much higher than a few years ago; the price of farm labor is high and scarce. Therefore every acre cultivated means a large ex penditure. It costs more to cultivate an acre of land growing a quarter of a bale of cotton than one growing a bale. In the latter instance the plant soon grows up and shades the land and con sequently the grass does fi grow so rapidly or luxuriantly. The cheapest item than cain b. used in the production of cotton? is commercial fertilizers, used liberally. With a liberal applica tion of fertilizers the farmer canr g row a bale of cotton where he has heretofore grown a half a bale, and do it with the same cost of mules and lab~or, and the additional quantity of seed will more than pay for the extra amount of fertilizers used. There fore, encourage your customers to reduce their acreage and to increase the amount of commerci al fertilizers per acre, believing, as we do, that this is the way and the only way to raise cheap cotton. The South must continue to prodnee around eieren million bales of cotton, or they will find in a year or two the balance of the world competing with them in growing this staple, and our foreign market largely supplied from sources that now produce but a limited quantity, Wishing for you a happy and prosperour New Year, and also for our cuscomers and patrons, I am yours truly, S. T. Morgan, President, Virginia Carolina Chemical Co., CAMBTOREA FRUITFUL. OLD 3E. Past Matern IT :peres Who Were Past sev.: tI. The tall, 'an ne..

Dr. Holmes wrote in his eighty fifth year that "time does not th:rat n the old man so often with the scythe as with the sandbag," yet he wrote brilliant verse for special occasions al most to the and. Theodor Monrmsen, the historian, a man of almost insignificant stature and emaciated frame, manifested in his eighty-sixth aqd last year the en ergy of a man in middle life. The Earl of Dundenald, though he was always in hot water and his whole life was a series of quarrels-though he per formed sorie of the most daredevil feats recorded in the history of naval. warfare, winning many brillian. victo ries against enormous odds-live1 to eighty-five and wrote his history of the liberation of Peru, 'hile and Brazil and "The Autobiogra. hy of a Seaman," two most vigorous, lucid and dashing works, under the stress of intense physical pain in the last three years of his life. Sir Charly James Napier, the hero! of Scinde, was sixty before he held any great command.

LOVE IN JAPAN,. It Is Very Different From That Which Warms the Western Heart. The boys and girls, the young men and young women of Japan do love each other, I suppose, but one never sees the slightest shadow of evidence to prove it. The spirit of love does not dominate the national life as it does in America and the countries of Eu rope. Japan's' poets do not sing of love; her story writers tell no tales of love that can thrill an Anglo-Saxon heart, and her artists paint na pictures of love that can reach the Anglo-Saxon understanding. Now, consideulng a-l this, how can there be such a thing as "a good old summer time" in this land of sunrise? And yet there is,%and it is especially delightful in its way, too, because the Japanese are a nation of .feasters and picnickers, of natu-re lov ers and world beautifiers, and if one can only lose sight of the fact that everywhere one goes the poor little 'womdn tcddle meekly along behind the men, 'who stalk pompously ahead as if they owned the earth, one may al pmst enjoy oneself. One never sees a woman caressed In Japan, not even with a glance; one seldom sees a baby fondled-in fact, .ail human tenderness or expression of 1 human tenderness Is conspicuous by Its ..absence, and I be'ieve that is the oneL impassable great gulf that is fixed be tween us and this people. And yet the people ar e happy, with a simple, sweet happiness that Is charming. That is It. It is an atmosphere that mildly -charms, but never thrills, the western heart. All the nation's love is concen trated upon the emperor, and the high eat note of the national life is sounded .in yamato damiasi, Japan spirit, pa riotism, and even this is beyond our comprehension, because It is empty of romance and unsatisfactory to us, who annot separate the interests of "fair women and brave men" even upon the battlefield.-Eleanor Franklin in Les lie's WEekly. Brainu Not Needed. Sir Conan Doyle once told a story of an English officer who was badly wounded in Scuth Africa, and the mill tary surgeon had to shave off that por tion of his brain which protruded from hIs skril. The officer got well, and later or In London the surgeon asked whether he knew that a portion of, his brain was In a glass bottle in a labora tory. '-Oh, that does not matter now," replied the soldier; "I've got a per-1 manent position in the war offlee." He Knew the Game. Deacon Heavyweight-And so you :are going to leave us, parson? Rev. Mr. Thankful-Yes. I have had a call to another parish, where, by the way, -the salary Is considerably larger. I a:a sorry to0 leave my flock, but I miust obey the call.

He Must Keep well Posted and nave; a "Nose For News." t Imagine a man e:ch day surveying a circle whose circ:umference Is drawn with a radius sixty miles long from t the New Y:k city hall as a center, e knowi::g that the life and activity S within that circle are changeful and C ephemeral, that each succeeding sun will -bring a new story and that he is C responsible for the telling of that story t to a great company of readers. Im- E agine all this, and you have a good s mental picture of the city editor of a It metropolitan daily. t When the city editor opens his desk t in the morning he attacks his mail first i thing. Very often it is a fearful and C wonderful collection of complaints, grievances, suggestions, demands, t pleadings, discoveries, literary efforts, I questions of every description. It is c a singular thing that the title ."city editor" is better known to the reading I public tLan almost any other except I "editor." So the city editor gets more I than his share of mail. William H. Vanderbilt's famous die- I tum, "The public be damned," would I never have become a familiar quota tion but for the trained news sense of t a certain city editor out in Chicago. He had sent a young reporter to ask Mr. < Vanderbilt about a railroad matter I which was then being discussed. The 1 novice came back and reported that Mr. Vanderbilt would not say a word. 'The city editor, suspecting that his i agent had not go'ne about the inter view in a way to accomplish the de sired result, began to "pump" him on I his manner of approaching the rail way king. "Well," answered the youth, "I told him the public wanted to know about this matter." "Wouldn't he talk back then?" asked the city editor. "No; he just shook his head and said "The publics be damned,' " responded the youth, with childlike and bland in nocence. The autocrat of the city department lay back and gasped. With a wave of his hand he dismissed the dull report .er, and he himself wrote up the inci dent, which has been made an impor tant addition to the popular Bartlett. It was an insignidcant "financial -card" which first directed the attention -of the newspapers to the 520 per cent fraqd for which William F. Miller'and -Colonel Bob Ammon are now serving terms in Sing Sing. The earliest mut terings of street railway strikes In Chicago and Cleveland and other west -ern cities have been in diminutive "ads." calling for men to be motormen and conductors. - Charles Watson Meade in Bookman. Little aastede. A kindly, honest and simple little man was Frederick William Ham stede, originally a city clerk of Lon don and a versifier who concocted 1 worthless doggerel for love and not re 'ward at a rate which would surprise most poetasters. Yet his claim to re .membrance lies now in the fact that Thackeray called him "dear little Hamtede" and loved and protected him from banter with a strange and touching chli'alry. If any one laughed at the great nov elst's attachment to so insignifleant a protege, Thackeray would exclaim: "No one shall say a word against lit te Hamistede in my hearing. I love ittle Hamstede. I tell you I love little Ramstede, and as for his verses, overi which you have been making merry, all I care to say is that I take more pleas re In reading his poetry than I do In reading your prose." The secret of this large hearted pro tection was not far to seek. Hamstede was a dwarf and a hunchback. He hadi been crippled by falling from a nurse's arms in infancy and could not get: aout without a cane. Thackeray, the gant, loved him for the sufferings he bad undergone. Indigo. The chief source of natural indigo is the various species of indigofera, espe 'cially Indigofera tinctoria, which are cultivated In India, China and South America. The method of its prepara tion is very simple, although consider able attention is paid to the treatment of the soil previous to the planting of the seeds. Ten to fourteen days suf fice for the first appearance of the shoots above the soil, after which they continue to grow rapidly. Shortly be fore flowering, or about three months after sowing, the plants are cut off 'close to the ground and are then ready for extracting the color. After crop ping the plants are again allowed to grow until they are, sufficiently ma ture to admit of a second cutting. Oc 'casionally a third or even a fourth crop is made, but each of these contains successively less and less of the indi 'can. The cut plants are at once placed in large stone cisterns, or fermenting vats, called "steepers," where they are covered with water and kept in posi tion by means of boards and heavy stones. Bible Day Jewels. It is interesting to observe that In articles of gold. silver and gems we ave scarcely gone beyond the earliest Biblical record. Gold is an old story in the second chapter of Genesis. There is no record of Sarah's ornaments, but the abundant mention of Rebecca's earrings and bracelets made her envied by many a Sundar school little girl who in this wvay miade her acquaint unce. Thenceforth rings, necklaces, earrings, breastpins, bracelete tiaras, jeweled daggers, girdles, pins, combs, but repeat themselves according to the taste of the age. An inspection of the Cyprian jewelry at the Metropolitan Museum of Art In New York shows .how completely the ladies of antiquity had their jewel cases equipped. To these we have been able to add very few articles, the watch being the most conspicuous. Cured Hlis Mother of Rheumatism. 1 "My mother has been a sufferer for manv vears from *rheurnatismi," says W. H. Howard, of Husband, Pennsyl aun. "At timies she was unable to ] iove at all, while at all times walking F asi painful. I presented her wvit.h a( ,tt.le of Chambherlain's Pain Balm and 1 :after a few applications she decided it< was the most wvonderful pain reliever ] she had cver tried, in fact, she is never i without it now and is at all times able to 3 walk. An occasional application of t 'ain Balm keeps away the pain thamt 1 ee~ was formerly troubled with." For 1 ENGLISH STAGECOACHE$. Id Time Rapid Transit at the Rate of Ten Miles an Hour. In the n#iddle of the eighteenth cen ury English stagecoaches were cover d with dull black leather, studded rith broad headed nails by way of rnament and possessed oval windows rith red frames. On the panels of the oach the names of the places passed rough were painted in large letters, nd the roof, which had an iron rail round It, rose in a curve. The speed f the ponderous vehicles was often ut four miles an hour. An adver isement regarding the Beehive coaeh, rhich ran between London and Man hester. is worth quoting. It read thus: 'In order to insure saety and pune uality, with respectability, no large packages will be taken or fish of any lescription carried by this conveyance. [he inside of the coach is fitted up sith spring cushions and a reading amp lighted with wax for the accom nodation of those who wish to amuse hemselves on the road. The inside >acks and seats are also fitted up with air cushions, rendering them more omfortable to passengers thpn any hing hitherto brought out in the an ials of coaching, and to prevent fre luent disputes respecting seats every eat is numbered. Persons booking hemselves will receive a card vith a iumber upon it, thereby doing away vith the disagreeables that occur daily n the old style." A feature of one promoter's :;ch.eme vas that each mail coach shculd be )roperly guarded by retired sa ldiers. rho would naturally be acquainted ith the use of firearms, but this idea was not adopted, and the contractors it first supplied guards and arms often >f a worthless character. Ultimately, iowever, the posfoidice undertook to Lppoint its own guards, but these were it first so zealous that Pennant re !ords (1792), "They shoot at dogs, hogs, iheep and poultry as they pL:ss the -oad, and even in towns, to the great error and danger of the Inhabitants." ['he mail coach was luxurious when !ompared with the old stagecoaches. . coach was often called "a God per nit," because the advertisement stated hat the journey would be "performed f God permits." In 1836 the mail coaches had proba )ly reached their prime. According to t historian, "eight or nine miles an aour had hitherto been their highest ;peed, and now, with vehicles of light r build, the speed was advanced to :en miles an hour and even more. While the fastest mail -coach on the -oad traveled at the rate of ten miles md five furlongs an hour, a private oaeh accomplished within the hour ather more than eleven miles. This was the coach between Edinburgh and 3berdeen, of which Captain Barclay [ry, the celebrated pedestrian, was :he proprietor. Besides coachman and guard, it carried fifteen passengers, tour inside and eleven outside, while a nail coach carried. four in and four yut, or eight al.together."-Chicago sews. Sex and the Bee. At one time the bees were male and ~emae in equal numbers. The irre ponsble male buzzed about, simply ~ettng his own living, marrying and lying. The responsible female not mly got her own living, but that of her hildren. Somehow by and by they ame to see the advantage of comn nunal effort, and, just as women say :o one another now, "If you'll wash :he dishes I'll wipe 'em," one feminine bee said to the other, "I'll be mother . you'll get the living."- It was a bar-. ain, and the accommodating, females took drones in to board. The queen of :a beehive does notI mle. She lays eggs. She does not ind the babies. She does not even 1 her own digesting, let alone getting the food. The attendants that surround aer feed her with bee milk, seceted by glands in their heads. She has to be Eed continually, for at certain periods she has the power of producing from 2,000 to 3,000 eggs a day, twice her own weight-four times, Indeed-for nore than half her weight Is e-'gs.

When Parepa Rosa was still charm ng gold and bank notes out of the pockets of her' audiences she appeared in concert In Hiartford and in the same week, as it happened, in which Mr. Clemens had delivered a lecture. To bear Mark people had paid $1.50 for the best seat in thre house. To hear the diva meant $5 for a seat far from the best. So the local humorist was moved to write- to the committee In charge of the two entertainments. He pointed out the monetary partiality which had been shown, asserted that It was obviously unfa'ir and 'closed with this: "If Mine. Rosa makes her money so much faster than I do mine merely because she sings. let me tell you that I can sing myself and am open to engagements at bo~r terms." He promptly received an answer, "A mere disturbance Is not muste." Peeullir Worship. Along the sacred road of Nikko, in Japan is an idol about which centers one of the most curious worships in the world. Upon the surface of the statue are seen little pieces of what appear to be dried paper. If you stand by the idol for awhile and wait for a worshiper to come along, you will see what these bits of paper are. The dev otee halts in front of the image, then scribbles -a prayer on a bit of paper. The wad he then chews up into a ball and hurls it at the god. If it hits the face and sticks, the prayer is sure tc be granted, and the pious pilgrim goes away happy. If the ball sticks to some portion of the body the cmen Is not riuite so propitious, and if' it falls to the ground there is absolutely no hope. :hamberlan's Cough Remedy the Best Made.
