Granite of the South.
When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 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

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

"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.

nd received them into the bosom of
Lis home and family by the dozen.
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

iodern Athens, since .the owl is the
ymbol of Athens, and the personifica

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

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.
Without a sound the great creatures
rt and swoop through the Inky
ackness of the cellar, searching for
e scraps of meat on which they are
d, and circling in vigilance commit

That sortie should thInk of the
Ings chapel burial ground owl as

owds, which even the most trivial
ing will collect in the city, Mr.

Owls, he says, will return to the
me place day after. day, and sit
ere all day long, day in and day out,
motionless as statues. Indeed, this
another point on which the bird is
en to be profoundly stupid, for when

imbed a tree after, he simply re
