K he ia eucoeslful in engraft iog h s ideas of the agricultural ap propriation bili, as he hopes to, tho os?jry{ industry of. the South will be given' a most substantial lift. Mr. Lever has shown special interest in the idea of diversified '-f eraring; in tho South, and in his district, ai Colom bia, is located diversification farrah Ko. 1. The bill he today introduces is along the same line. ., The bill in terms appropriates $20,? OOO to cn nb to the . Secretary of Agri culture, through the dairy division, to further promote the development of the dairy industry of the United 8tates in snob. States where .that de velopment is most needed ano) where there is an nnsnpplied demand for dairy producta, and where th? condi tions are favorable for the production of snob.products; 1 In discussing the bill, Mr. Lever G aid: "No conn try can afford to de pend fojr itt prosperity upon ono crop No people have ever become really rich who looked to the success or fail ure of one crop for their wealth. We of the South have been particularly curaed with the one crop idea. With a climate and soil particularly adapt ed to the widest diversification in farming,- the majority; of our people have confined their energies to the. planting of cotton. It: is true that with : present prices we are bqcomipg rich, but it is within the memory of young men when tho pri?e of cotton did not warrant its' production. I I think, too, that every practical farmer will egree in the idea that ho can save himself enormous fertiliser bills if he * will , give some attention to making home raised .'manure. I think, too, we ali agree jthat ?by proper cuitiva tion end fertilisation wo can almont Idoable the yield of colton per. acre. That the dairy iuduBtry has never been developed in the South is due te the fact that eur people haye never Ibeen informed as to the profitableness, of thei ^siness. ?We ib?v? unlimited markets ahii nnequr?led ?acuities ic?

N TH E SOUTH 's?STew Bill on the Sub ot* .s and Courier. ? i Ii cannot bc said that cattle- will j not do well in the South, for a promi nent dairyman, in North Carolina shows an average record of his herd of 416 pounds of butter per oow-s-a rc-j cord seldom equalled in the North, | and at Charleston, in our own State, Mr. Legare, my colleague, today owns a cow that has milked over 100 pounds of milk in a day. The Southern milk ip in no wise inferior to that produced at jtbtp North, for there aro many dairymen in the South whose product is as ?good aa that ever put on the New York market* In the face of such facto, itwith* standing the enormous demand for dairy products in the South and the Ivendorf ul possibilities for the ' dalry industry,-most of our markets are sup* plied with inferior stuff, all from Northern markets? The city of Macon is tc?ay using about thirty thousand pounds of butter shipped in from the Kortli, and most of st of a low qual ity, although it sells for thirty, cents per pound, I have no doubt Colum- ] bU can show an equally bad state of i affairs, even though a superior sr ti ol o | can be produced right at home. ? ($$? have tried in this bill to work out j a pian by which an interest oan be, aroused , ia the dairy industry. j ;:V Our people need ?ducation along, this line, and my bill.propoBCe that the ?Department, of 'Agriculture send its experts in the South to co-operate With the experiment stations and with individual dairymen by going on the farm and taking up tho difficulties with them as ttioy'exist- in each looaK i ty, applying rem?di?s that will. cori* yert an unsuccessful business to a business of profit.

A sagging woman ia just snout tho most unreasonable being on earth except the husband who will do any thing but thc ono thing she's nagging him to do. I know a. man whose wife has to go to thc cashier of the ?onoern where he is employed every Saturday* noon to get enough money to pay the house bills for tho week. I heard that man tslking about marriage the other day, and ho said his wife would be a per fect angel if she wasn't such a crank about money matters. "She nags me so about bills and money," he said, j "that I stay away from home for days j at a time to get away from the sound of her voxoo." It never seemed to strike him that one good remedy for his wife's eccentric conduct regarding money would bc to give her a little once in a while, just for a surprise, and it neyer has dawned upon the wife thai tho sensible thing for her to do ie to go to th 3 cashier, get what money she needs, as she does do, and say no moro about it-as she does i not do. i Ho doe Ba't mind her getting the j money; ho minds her talking about it* She doesn't mind asking the cashier for tho money; she minds that her husband does not give it to her. Yet neither of those two people will eyer dream of making the foolish little bon cession which would sst the matter perfectly straight. What's the use trying to make your h unhand over to snit your pattern, my j good wife? Ho was the same kind of a man' he is now when yon married him? Ton didn't mind cigar smoko then; why can't you pretend .to like it ., how? Ii you fell in love with a sentimen tal Borneo and married him, because ho wrote yon snob beautiful verses, don't expect him to make a fortune for. you in the stock market. He'd like to if he could; but he can't. . Make up your mind to take him as he ia, and m ak o the best of it. You osn't change a race horse into a draft animalt just by hitching him to a heavy load. Is your wife a sweet'tempered, pret ty little goose, who can no more un derstand you than she could trans* lato the Book of Mofees- from the origi nal? Wei!, you knew that when yon married her.

I, I ll Ali Ec???B??Cai OTe?ai A representative ia congress, who was formerly a judge on a circuit in cluding the State of Arkansas, re lates an amusing instance, retold in an exohange, of the free-and-easy ad ministration of justico in tbat section in the old days: "On a certain occasion," says the former judge, "I had sentenced a man in ono of the smaller towns of Arkansas, to three months in jail for larceny. A few days af tor the trial I was on my way to the station in com pany, so it chanced, with tho sheriff of tho county, when I passed a man busily engaged in sawing wooYl. He greeted me most politely with, 'Good mornin', jedge,' "I returned ino man's salutation, and continued on my way. There had seemed somethiug io his faoe that was familiar; so I asked the sheriff, who he was. That official hesitated a moment before replying. Thon he said, 'That'*1 ?he fellow you sentenced to three months for larceny the other* day.' "Seeing how astonished I was that a man sentenced to three months' im prisonment should in three or four days still be at liberty, tho sheriff hastened to explain.' " 'Yes, jedgo, that's the same man. Tho fact is, jedge, that we don't happen to have anybody else in ja*.l jest now; so we thought it worjld kinder be a useless expense to hire somebody to look after jest this one prisoner. Consequently, jedgo, I gave thu fellow the jail key, and told him that if he'd sleep there nights I reckoned it would be all right.' " F> . i mm m i-H The Discovery of Matches. In the nineteenth century--tho cen tury in which so many wonderful things were done-the fourth stop in tho development of the match was taken. In 1827 John Walker a drug gist in a small English town tipped a splint with sulphur, ohiorate of pot ash and sulphide of antimony and rubbed it on sandpaper and it burst into flamen. ; The druggist had discovered the first friction chemical match, tho kind wo use to-day. It io callod fnotion chem ical because it ia made by mixing cer tain chemicals together and robbing them! Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of aoid, it never theless was nota good one. It contd bo lighted only by hard rubbing a-d it sputtered and threw fire in all direc tions. : , A; In a fcvr years, however, phospho res waa substituted on the tip for anti mony and the change worked wonders. Alu* iht;???es??os'..?! th* ?#?jr righted phosphorus match there wee ?o longer nie for the dip-splint or tho strike-a-light. The old methods of getting a blase were gradually laid neide and forgotten. Thc first phosphorus matches were I edd at 25 cents" a block-a block con- ! taicing 144 matohes-and they were ! ?teed hy out few. i V VV' -::. m. ? . -.. . . 'v.

A Sent?a Hint. General WisUr was, for a number of years, Ibo president of tba Penn sylvania Aoademy of Natural Sci ences. The Christian Endeavor World tells one of his stories. At one of the Academy's meetings a rather odd and original method of reaching the north polo was suggcst'l. Of this method tho president said emiting: "It reminds mo of the way two San Franoisoo friends of mino once took to get rid of come guosts. * "Those guoBts came to spend the ovecing, and didn't know whon to de part. My friends were patient with them, very patient; but when eleven, twelve, and finally one o'clock struck, the husband realised that something must now bo done. "He was an original chap, and in his orignal way ho looked over at his wife and said mildly; " 'My dear, hadn't we better get up to bed? Our friends may want to be going.' " Honesty Is Beat In Business. The liar may ouooeed fer a time, but eventually he will pay the piper. Such a lesson is conveyed in the fol lowing incident told by Dr. Morden, cmd repeated in the Baptist Common wealth: "If I hire you," said a Detroit gro cer to a boy who applied for work, "I suppose yea will do what I tell mt" t "Yes, sir!" "If I told you to say the sugar woo | high-grade, when it was low, what would you soy?" Hesitatingly the boy said, "I'd say it." "If I told you to say the coffee was pure, when it had beans it, what would you say?" "I'd say iu" The merchant was nonplussed. "How much would you work for?" he inquired .very seriously. "Ono hundred dollars a week," tho boy answered in a busineBeliko tone. "One hundred dollars a week!" re sponded tho grocery man. "With percentile after tho first 1 two Weeks/' said the bey coolly* "You Sea," he went on, "first-class liars oomo high, and if you need them in your business you'll have to pay the price; but I'll tell the truth and work for i bree dollars a week." The boy caught the grocer at his bira game and got the job, ? - . /, ;. - *. --7 / An Established Reputation. A deputy Bheriff and ohief of police of a Bhode Island oity, known ia his lifetime as a maa whose word oonld a?ways be taken, once gave a whim .leal demonstration of his straightfor* wardaess. Ono day, Recording ttf a Writer ia*the Boston - Herald, a groeer went to him for information about a certain Joe White, who had applied for o redit ai his store. "Good morning, sheriff!" "Morning!" "Do you know Joe White?" "Yes." "What kind of a feller is he?" "Pntty fair." "Ie he'honest?" "H?hest? I should say so.
