Leonard Bastln In St. Nicholas (New York). We rwfaj "In the great oil regions of Cali fornia, pools of crwtefcpeyoleum are j quite comqymly seen, $BeiN* the yll Is .allowed to remain until It to stored away In barrels. One of the curiosi ties of the district Is the freak sha dow which these pdbds of crude oil ! produce. ""If, when the Run Is shining | brlKhtly, a person stunds so that his shudow falls across the surface of the petroleum, a very rem.-< t-kahle thing ' happens. Should the Individual change i hlH place, strange to say, the first shadow remains on the ? ? 1 1 . while the person casts a second shadow from hi* new position. The longei the Individ- 1 mil has been standing by the oil pond, | the longer will the original shadow remain. The explanation of the mys tery Is simple: I'nder the Influence of the hot sun, kiis Is freely produced In the crude oil. This rise* to tlx. rut fnce In the form of millions of bubbles far too mlnu'.e to be n< Heed by the human eye. When a shallow Is cast over the surface of the petroleum the temperature Is reduced, and this has the 'effect of Checking the production j of bubbles. The result is thnt the I shaded area looks different from the I par; which is exposed to the sun. Now, j when the person moves, the tempers ! ture of the oil which has been shielded from the sun does not at once get 1 back to Its former warmth. Tt takes : a little time to bent. nnd. until this ; actually happens, the shallow effect i persists, giving the curious appearance : which lias been described. ? Literary ; Digest.

Origin of Perfume To the Greeks, who attributed the orlnln of perfume to a drop of nectar split at a feast of the gods of Cupid, we owe the addition of flower fra grance to the list of perfume materi als. observes the Detroit News. Thelt refined sense of smell demanded mor? delicate scents than the, strong fra grance of spices and tvuvy animal odors, a** musk, one of the oldest and best known perfumes at that time and still popular In the Orient. Iris, rose, crocus, violet and hIro the aromatic .plants, thyme and marjoram were fa vorite scents with them. Then came the Dark ages ? even for perfumers and perfumes, a# the natu ral and Inevitable result of Itoman ex travagance. The art of perfuming was I >st. not to hnve rebirth tint IIs Re naissance days and the time of the famed Florentine perfumer, Renl, who, history tells us, accompanied the four teen-year-old Catherine de Medici te France as court perfumer. But One Got Him "At sixteen the girl Is n woman ; at twenty -five. If still upmnrrled, she In a Klrl." sternly an Id the philosophical youth, who had devoted much time to thinking- "She will ftice denth with out a tremor and swoon at the flight of ii mouse. The only time she does what you expect her to do Is when you expert her to do what you do not expert her to r.o. The only reason she dnes anything Is because she doesn't know why she does It. She Jumps nt conc lusions and always lands on them, bemuse when the conclusion skips to one side In an endeavor to avoid her it ire's squarely In her way. The only nuin who understands n woman Is ho who understands that he doesn't understand her, and lets It go at that." News Note: Two weeks later 'he married one of them. ? Country Gen tleman Annuity Mea Old Historically, annuities antedate life Insurance by far, says the World's Work.

Way Hide Comment During the next month or so reviv al meetings will be in progress, es pecially at churches in thp rural dis tricts and this is well. Many mem- j bers of the church are revived and re juvenated and "some tew men and wo- . men will continue to live better Vivea, I but how many, alas, backslide, go ' back to the world and live more self ish lives than before. I regret to that apparently there is very little real religion in the world today. Men seem to be getting more selfish, more greedy for material thi*g3,| striving for money and worldly a- I musements, etci, instead iif laying : up treasures in the hereafter. The ' cave of the soul is the.one thing need- ' ful? and if our souls be neglected, '? our hands are doing nothing they : c ught. The wonder is thft people so seldom see the necessity of work in religion. They work for the world but not for God; they will labor to enter into the gate of success, but not in at the gate of Heaven. They will toil hard in the world's vineyard, but stand idle . in God's vineyard. They will lay in treasure for the body and leave the soul to starve. They will rise early and toil late for the sake of a short life, but neglect eter nity altogether. This is a world of service and real religion consists in doing God's will and work instead of following our own selfish inclinations and desires. This is a world of pro bation jind preparation for eternity. We are here upon business. And what is our business? We are to do whatsoever "our hand findeth to do" ? whatever is the duty allotted to us by our Maker. Every day brings its own responsibilities and we are to meet them according to the abilities which God has given us. I read a fine editorial in a well known newspaper a day or so ago that expresses my views exactly. The editorial in question deals principally with our educational problem, under tho caption of "Nation's Heal Menace" and I shall take the liberty oif using some extracts from it: "Education today is not thorough, even in fun damentals. It assumes that the home liiid the church are doing their part ?md proceeds along with a system of "cramming" gaged by the most bril liant minds it deals with. It pays only perfunctory attention to morals and touches the theory of civics and politics without practical application. In higher institutions of learning ed ucation is carried to its ultimate con olusion, professors and instructors b.ing allowed to lead into the relms of the abstract, who have no concep tion of, much less belief in, a Deity to whom the family altar was once reared, aiul their attitude toward the Bible is that of the tyritic, pure and simple. "The church which on'ce ministered to the spiritual life of the people is gradually assuming two distinct func tions in mental development. It is prostituting its service to entertain ment and leading the way to purely speculative religion ? if there is such a thing. True, it in substance main tains its old forms and rituals, but it more largely emphasizes symbols, with the result that worship large ly confined to church services becomB more and more formal and has less and less emphasis on conduct through out the rest of the week. For all this the church us an institution is not so much at fault as the church as an organization ? its organization has fallen to low levels as member ship has fallen. "Through decadence of home life, the misdirection 0/ education, and th^ prostitution of the church, men and women of today have not tht same purpose in life their parents and grandparents had. They, are without those sustaining and ' guid ing Influences that help to make life worth living. Superficial themselves they live superficially, without dom ination ideals and ambitions. They shy at duty and sidestep obligation with the result that this nation today lacks the leaven to leaven the whole lump of its citizenship that it rise to fuller and more complete apprecia tion o! it:; estt e. "A prominent professor doubts i'. one person in ten really thinks the social, civic and political problems of the day, through to logical con clusions. He may be right or wrong Much so-callod thinking seems to be inspired and directed along channels tMt lead to anything and everything but supplying the real needs, of the country, and this leads a contempor ary to express itself as follows: "Wanted ? Homes in which home life will start our children in love of God and respect for fellow-men. "Wanted? Education that will de velop the heart as well as the mind, that there can be conscience to dis tinguish between right and wrong. "Wanted- A genuine old-fashioned revival of religion that men nnd wo men bo awakened to duty and givon courage to discharge oblibations." A few days ago I nnw an old hornr hitchod to a huKfcy, in which wan weatod a colored man, (tho horeSft' r) who weighed about two hun poundn or more. Tho horno wan actually so poor and thin that hia ribs looked like the ridges on a large wash board. He wobbled along as if he would have gladly "given up the ghost." He appeared as if he had not had a square meal (or feed) in six months. This old horse reminded me of the pictures is Ayer's, Hos tetter's and other almanacs of years ago, that represented a horse "before taking" some widely advertised cat tlu powder i o t liniment. I have seen other horses and mules in this vicinity the past spring and this summer that were very thin, but not quite as bad as the one mentioned above. I really think (hat people who abuse or fail to feed their stock properly should be prosecuted or eith er be forced to let people take them who would feed and treat them as they should be. A horse is man'a best friend among the animal crea tior and he should receive the very bes: oi care. Observe:.

American farm life is still too much a life of drudgery for farm women und that the big problem is saving the farm woman power and directing it to best advantage were stressed by Mrs. Ruby Green Smith, Associate Home Demonstration Leader of New York, two addresses here this week before Extension Service workers in annual conference. Mrs. Smith's general theme was A More Abundant Home Life, und ske showed convincin ly that, since the home makes the i individual and the community mak^) , the nation, it is necessary that every phase of afrm, home und community life must be developed in such a way that the home makers will have full opportunity for success and happiness in the big part which they play in our rural civilization. The chiei resource of oui- country is the human resource, and the chief crop is the crop of boys. und. girls-; hence the need for home, school, church und community imporvement. Mrs. Smith's tulks were heard by both home demonstration agents and farm demonstration ?gents, and interest wus developed und muny questions usked, showing the eager ness of extension workers to help solve this big problem of rural home nnd[ community improvement. SUGGESTS STATE iJJ^D SETTLE | MENT North Carolina Authority Discusses Farm Tenacy and The VN'ny Out. Clemson College, July 17--"You can write the history of the \?orld on the basis of how people have dealt with their lands," said Dr. C. C. Tay lor Professor of Rural Organization of North Carolina State College, in an uddress here before the annual confrence of Extension Service forces, in which he advocated state demonstrations in group settlement as the best way to begin the great work of solving the tenancy problem, the main purpose of which should be to put the landless man on the man less land. Dr. Taylor explained the need of (a) system of profitable farming guided by agricultural advisers in order to make group settlement of rural lands permanently successful, and thus lead the way for private en terprise along the same line. In his two addresses Dr. Taylor has gone thoroughly into the problems of furm tenacy and has shown the^ hope lessness of trying to build up a rural civilization on a tenancy system. The conference, which closes Friday morning, has given attention to many phases of Extension Service work and the problems which the workers must face. FARM GOSSIP. Some farmers work on well planned estimates and others on careless guess timatei. If your labor cost is too high, use "iron men"--farm machines? to work fo? you. With the ability to produce very early lambs at very low cost, Palnieto farmers can keep the wolf from the door. Unless dairy farmers are willing to buy additional milk pails, they ought not to try better feeding of thei: cows. Not moo products at any cost but better products at less cost. If a tired horse gets frisky when turned out to grass, why won't a lit tle vacation put some pep into the farmer and his family? PEACHES ? For Canning and pre serving ? per bushel $1.00.
