I Your Cotton Crop Can Be Increased X h It costs no more to cultivate an acre that produces a two bales of cotton than an acre which produces only one-quarter of a bale. Why not see what you can do with t] IS( Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers L Other men have been able to double and more than double eld per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers. d; Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir ginia-Carolina Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and t< say: "We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the T people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls si on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms, t< squares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about p 2 bales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer- t. tilized ari under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to five acres." t An interesting picture of the cotton plants referred to will be d found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Book, copy C of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent free, if you write our nearest sales office.

What They Said. "Did the girls say anything when Ley heard of my engagement?" she iked, with a little curiosity. "Very little," was the reply of her arest friend. "But they said something?" "Oh, yes; they said something." "Well, what was it?" "Well, most of them merely ex aimed, 'At last!'" Thei-e was a pause, and then she sked: "Well, what did some of the others "One of them said, 'Who'd have iought It?' Another, 'Will wonders ever cease?'

Arant Husbands to Burn. The elderly spinster in the rear of the drawing room car had no more than settled in her seat when her at tention was attracted to a woman a little farther front who was garbed in the deepest mourning. As Miss Spinster adjusted her nose grabber glasses for a better inspection of the one in widow's weeds she saw the conductor lean over and converse with her earnestly for several minutes. When the conductor got back to her seat taking the passenger's tickets Miss Spinster was consumed with cu riosity about the woman In mourning. "Condnetor," she asked in her sweet .st tones, "what's the trouble with the lady up there in widow's weeds?" "Oh, that's Mrs. Gettem!" replied the obliging conductor. "She's just taking her third husband out to a crematory." "Oh, how dreadful!" exclaimed Miss Spinster. And then in a faraway voice she added: "And just think of it! Here I am past fifty and never had a husband in my life, while that woman up there has them to burn!"-New York Times. Strong Monosyllables, Instructors in the art of literary composition usually condemn a string of monosyllables, but in the well known hymn "Lead. Kindly Light," written by a master of the English language, you may count thirty con secutive words of one syliable only. They offend neither the eye nor the ear. Milton often uses a series of mono syllables. In the second book of "Par adise Lost" we have: The fcnd O'er bog or steep, through strait, rough, dense or rare, With head, hands, wings or feet pursues his way And swims or sinks or wades or creeps or fies. Such lines are not uncommon In the book: Rocks, caves, lakes. fens, bogs, dens and - shades of death. And again: Of neither sea nor shore nor air nor fire. -London Notes and Queries. Courtship In Ireland. An Irish boy marries when he .has a rid hduse and an Irish .girl just when she pleases. Sometimes she so pleases while yet her years are few; at other times she is content to wait upon wis dom. In the latter case, of course, she makes a wise choice, but in the for mer almost always a lucky one, for luck is the guardian angel of the Irish. "You're too young to marry yet, Mary." the mother said when Mary pleaded that she should grant Lau rence O'Mahony a particular boon. "If you- only have patience, mother, I'll cure meself of- that fault," was Mary's reply. "And she's never been used to work, Laurence." the mother said to the suitor discouragingly. "If you only have patience, ma'am," was Laurence's reply to this, "I'll cure her of that fault." And he did too. Seumas MacManus in Lippincotts. The Nervous Mother. An Atchison woman who is very nervous and inclined to worry is the mother of a boy. She recently read of a boy who was illed while roller skating and immediately put her son's roller skates In the fire. Another newspaper told of a boy. who was kill ed riding the street cars, and as boys are frequently killed while walking by street cars running over them she chained her boy to the front door. Then she read of a boy who died of blood poisoning caused by his shoe rubbing his heel, and her boy's shoes and stockings came off. The story of a boy who bit off a button on his~ waist and choked. to death resulted in ber taking off her boy's clothes. He had left only a flannel shirt, and she s reading now that wearing fannel shirts Is the cause of great mortality and is thinking of removing that Atchison Globe. The Bloom on the Egg. "I know these eggs at least are fresh," said the young housewife. "As I took them from the basket a white bloom, like the down of a peach, came off on my hands." Her husband, a food expert, gave a sneering laugh. "In that case," he said, "I'll forego my usual morning omelette. That bloom, my dear, proves your eggs to be a year or so old-maybe four or fve years old. "The bloom, its you so poetically call. it, is lime dust. It shows that the eggs are pkklded.

Emerson was a notable sufferer froir the vagaries of memory. His biogra pher relates that he met him one day in Boston apparently at a loss foi something and asked him where h( was going. "To dine," said Emerson "with a very old and dear friend. I know where she lives, but I hope shc won't ask me her name." And then he proceeded to describe her as "the mother of the wife of the young mar -the tall man-who speaks so r 'll and so on, until his interlocutor guess ed to whom he was referring.

"Now we will make this white hen's toilet." And the pet stock dealer laid beside a small bathtub a box of cold cream, a bottle of briliantine, a couple of brushes. a chamois, towels and soap. He bathed the hen in the tub. He scrubbed her feathers till they were snowy. Then he toweled her, wrap ped her up and put her away in a warm box.

Dr. Johnson, as is well known, re fused for many months to believe in the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians formerly were just as skeptical as to the existence of the giraffe, a new spec imen of which has just been added to the Jardin des Plantes. The earliest specimen of these gentle creatures was seen in Paris in the reign of Louis XVI. We learn from a French con temporary that the giraffe was firs't heard of in 1787, when it was de scribed by a Frenchman named Le vaillant, who had journeyed in the lands of the Hottentots and Kaffirs. When the explorer referred to the an imals with the long necks he was look ed upon as a Munchausen and told that he was such in not the politest language. It was only when some liv in'g specimens arrived in the French capital that Levaillant's reputation for veracity was re-established, and then the aninals for a long time formed the sensation of Paris, not only among the multitude, but in all scientific circles. London Globe. "The Light That Failed." A wealthy Riverina squatter, now departed, as he used to phrase it, "to the great muster," was noted almost as much for his Attic wit As for his parsimony. He also stuttered very badly and helped along his halting ut terance with a frequent ejaculation of "D'ye see? D'ye see?" His niggardly traits gained him widespread local un popularity and the bitter enmity of sundowners, who were always vigor ously refused rations at his stations. Smarting under this unusual inhos pitality, some disappointed swaggerers once set fire to one of th'e squatter's wool sheds and then wrote upon a gate: "We've well burnt down your wool shed. D'ye see? D'ye see?" Of course it caught the big man's eye when next he passed through. For a moment he contemplated the an nouncement and then with a sardonic grin took the stump of a blue pencil from his pocket and scribbled under neath: "It was well insured. D'ye see? D'ye see?7"-London Standard. Slim Women of Hungary. The women of Hungary regard a small waist as the greatest possible beady, and they will endure anything in order to put on an appearance of be Ing small waisted. Tight lacing is car ried on to an extraordinary extent, and the waist is compressed by force untl one would thisk that the owner could hardly breathe. Yet In this confined state the women will plunge into the wildest of Hungarian dances, known as the czardas, and prance frantically like ballet dancers until at the end they sink, gasping, exhausted and well -nigh suffocated, on a sofa. As they ,grow older most of these slim beauties -become enormously stout, and then t they are regarded as quite old. The Hungarians, though they resemble the Turks in many ways, have not the Turkish admiration for fat women or the English admiratioh for elderly made up belles. Hungary is aland of Islim young~ women, and when they lose their figure they lose their attrac tiveness and their power.-Modern So ciety. ____ __ "Times Is Changed."
