It is difmcult -to associate granite with any section of North America outside 'New England, yet it must now be ac knowledged to the credit of the South that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary land and Virginia are producing large quantities of stone of good quality which insures the South a place in .the market at any rate. %The annual -output is now worth abaont50,000 and the, industry is growing. It may be of comparative interest to know that New England's output is about $9,000,000 worth of stone annually. H EREDITY Can Be Overcome in Cases. The Influence of heredity cannot, of course, be successfully disputed, but it can be minimized or entirely over come in some cases by correct food and drink. A Conn. lady says: "For years while I was a coffee drinker I suffered from bilious at. tacks of great severity, from which I used to emerge as white as a ghost and very weak. Our family physi cian gave me various prescriptions for Improving the digestion and stimulat ing the 'liver, which I tried faithfully butt without perceptible result.. "He was acquainted with my fam Idly history for several generations back, and once when I visited him he said: 'If you have inherited one' of those torpid livers you may always suffer more or less from its inaction. We can't dodge our inheritance, you know.' "I was not so strong a believer in heredity as he was, howew'er, and, be ginning to think for myself, I conclud ed to stop drinking coffee, and see what effect that would have. I feared it would be a severe trial to give It up, but when I took Postum and had It well made, it completely filled my need for a hot beverage and I grew very fond of it. "I have used Postum for three years, using no medicine. During all that time I have had absolutely none of the bilious attacks that I used to suf fer from, and I have been entirely free from the pain and debilitating ef fects that used to result from them. "The change is surely very great, and I am compelled to give Postum the exclusive credit for It." -Name g!.ven by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellvlle," in pkgs.

EXIT RURAL CHURCH Pathos in Abandonment of the Country Meeting House. Once Not Only a Place of Worship But Center Around Which the Community's Social Organi zation Was Built. Columbia. Mo.-The passing of the country church is a potent cause of dissatisfaction that is helping to re duce the population of country dis Lricts. F. B. Mumford, dean of the Missouri Agricultural college, spoke of it as a cause for people leaving the farms. George B. Ellis, for ten years secre tary of the state board of agriculture, says it Is a result rather than a cause. Walter Williams says it is both a cause and a result of the loss of farm population. But the striking fact is that it is going on. That the number of churches in the country that have been abandoned will reach into the hundreds is the declaration of these men, all three of whom have studied conditions carefully and Intelligently for years. One of the deacons of an abandoned church was asked by a fellow mem ber of his denomination what this change in church attendance meant. "I'll tell you," he said. "It has been my observation that religious worship is not the only motive for go ing to church. With some people I have thought it was not the motive at all. The social side has been a factor. I have more than once heard men start negotiations for a home trade at church services, after the services were over, of course. The women passed whatever news they had back and forth among themselves, and the young men got an opportun ity to talk to the girls after church. The telephone in the homes of the families who have most money has made an end of any social use church going served, and the poorer people are not strong - enough to maintain the church." To men who spent their early lives in the country there is no one phase of this gradual reduction of country population that is more pathetic Than the abandonment of the country Type of Abandoned .Church. church. In the early pioneer days of ~ the west when the Sunday schocol in the country schoolhouse grew big mnough the people would arrange for preaching and then a little church would form. All over the west a uarter of a century ago or more these little organizations were busy utting the white frame buildings on ;onvenent farm corners In the neigh orhoods remote from the towns and illages. That "meeting house" ' served really as a "meeting house" as well as a house .of worship. It was he center around whichi the social ' >rganization of the community was built.

The marriages were often solemnized there.

The intimate tssociation of the country church was econd only to the family relation It elf. Whatever social or economic condi ions miay have decreed Its decay here is unmistakable evidence that n the .older counties of this state he country church Is of less im ortance today than ten yea'rs ago. ['he bare fact that in one county* It Is ossible to name ten churches that d have been wholly or partly abandoned a n the last ten years is a matter of t so small importance to the commun- e ties involved or to the state as a whole.

" h "THE SPIRIT OF THE STORM" Bronze Valkyrie a Norwegian Work of Art Which Required Forty Years to Perfect. Copenhagen.-Stephen Sinding is the greatest of Norwegian sculptors and of all his works the Valkyrie the spirit of the storm-is the most notable and will undoubtedly be the most enduring. The Valkyrie grew out of a storm the artist had experi enced in Norway nearly a half a cen tury ago. "I was alone," he says in writing of the conception of this great work, "and walking through the wildest part of our Norwegian mountains. Down in a cleft-a deep, black gorge-a storm one day swept by. And such a storm! It rode across the narrow Ride of a Valkyrie. t pass, and shrieked and sang among the broken rocks where I sat crouched s and waiting. And in the whirling t clouds the spirit of the storm was f actual and visible. The lightning was b its spear, the cloud its drapery. Its t horse's hoofs struck fire and clattered 1 on the rocks, and horse and rider 1 shrilled at me with the high, wild cry t >f battle! "That is the :dea I have tried to t] give. Not just a bronze Valkyrie, b but the spirit of the mountain storm- c he shout of conflict and the joy of -lemental strife!" e The first rough draft of the Valkyrie n was made in 1872 in Berlin. Later 0 ie worked in Rome, then in Berlin b gain, then Paris. His actual home c ias been in Copenhagen. "For Nor- a ray," as he sadly says, "has no place t< 'or men of my profession. It is a d and for Inspiration, not for achieve- tl nent. My work can best be done i, qhere other men are working." o It required forty years of thought, periment and planning before the ketch was completed and was cast a bronze. The work, even to the un rained mind or eye, suggests the pirit of the storm. All the weight f the horse seems thrust into the houlders. The wind whips the hair f the female figure-the Valkyrie ~nd the drapery swirls after her in er mad dash. The spear is poised or the forward thrust. The whole ' icture is one of strength and of ac ion. |ICH DUKE IS AN ENGINEER ould Rather Drive an Engine 'tk Eighty Cents a Day Thank an Automobile.d Paris.-In this city is to be seen he only wealthy man who has car ed out the resolution made some [me or other in their lives by allf mall boys-usually between the agest f two and six-of "being an engine W river when I grow up."

Mr. Gould is not a scientist, but he s a naturalist of wide practical experi nce, and his hobby has been owls e knows the well-springs of owl na ure and the scale of owls' souls, as he horseman knows the horse, or the lolinist the violin. It Is not at all singular, he declares, hat an owl should find a resting place 2 an eligible central location of the iodern Athens, since .the owl is the ymbol of Athens, and the personifica [on of wisdom. or Is it remarkable rom a purely physical point of view, e believes, because owls fly great dis inces, and the quiet of the night in ing's chapel burying ground is hardly iore disturbed than that of the coun ry woods. Yet, although the owl is accepted as ie emblem of wisdom, says Mr. Gould, e is in fact one of the stupidest reatures in existence. Catching him ; simple. In the daylight, when his es cannot endure the glare, he sits otionless and alseep on a tree limb, r by preference in any dark place e can find, unless he has a hole. By tutiously climbing the tree, one can void waking him until near enough ) seize him by the legs, when he is efenseless. He rages and flaps, but ie captor bears him safely off. This the way Mr. Gould has caugit most his owls, which he commonly On-e Way of Catching Owls. ~eps alive in the cellar. Mr. Gould's g occasionally catches one of his ris, but mot for amusement. Owls, furthermore, he claims, are >od weather prophets. In winter, pecially, they are very quiet just be re a storm, which is the easiest time catch them. In close winters, hen there is much snow on the -ound, Mr. Gould has easily been >1e to keep his cellar full of them, id even there they act as barome rs, for at the approach of bad eather the screech owls set up a >leful and distracting chorus under e floor beams, to the no small incon ~nience of the family, who, of urse are sleepiest when the owls e widest awake. On entering the cellar in the day a, however, even if it was full of vls, nobody would see one, but every ok and cranny where there was eltering and grateful dark would trbor an owl, none the less. In the ght it would be a different story, id altogether a surprising one for ybody having the hardihood to yen re down there. The flight of owls any species is practically noiseless, id that of the common owls of New agland is wholly so.

Indeed, this another point on which the bird is en to be profoundly stupid, for when r. Gould fails to catch an owl he has imbed a tree after, he simply re rns to the same spot when condi ms become favorable again and bags e game.
