following lottor from Manager Audor

is thoughtful and to tlio point'
?'Hock H i M-i H. ( , Aug. .'50, 'us.
"IIkarMk. WiijIiimin: I notice your

quoted in tho Hock Ihll llorubl ubout
tho lirst of this month in connection
with tho reduction of acreage. Now
would'lio a good timo to open up thin
mutter ho that next year n crop would
l?o lightor. My plan ill a gouorul way
ih this: I -ot each State and u 1 1 of thorn
must cooperate to inuko it u success ?
appoint a committee in ouch County
who will have charge of affairs in their
respective counties. This committee
will appoint one or more can
vitamers who will mako u "house
to house" can vuh.-i of I he whole
county and got each far unit' to
sign an agreement that ho will not
plant but so many acres to the horse.
Tho details of tlio agreement can bo
gotton up Inter. Hot those canvassers
lie paid i neu u id they will do their
duty. Tho county committee can get
up smile scheme to ruiso tho money; or
the State coininittoo can do it. That
ih merely a detail which will come out
ali right when 3*011 tiin.k over the mat
ter with a view of developing it. Ol
course every farmer is not going to
higu the agreement. Such u thing n<
not expected. Hut if overy State will
put cunvasRors 111 each county to work
men who are paid cash for their sor
vices it will show tho world that you
are indeed earnest uud, that something
practical is Ooing dono, and tho price
uf cotton will go up 111 .'{() days. When
a fellow gets in earnest ubout a tiling
something is going to happen.
Talk will never bo worth a row of
pins unless something dolinite, posi
tive, practical is done. This is a practi
cal world ho live 111 and it's full of
mighty practical folks, und thoy are not
goltig to bo foolctl by proambloB, reso
lutions, etc.
I his Kchctuo has suggestotl itself to
iiiv 111 1 11 d as being something definite
and practical, and I boliovo it can lie
developed into something practicable,
und if curried out will raise the price of
cotton at once. I don't want any not"
rioty in connection with this. Mv onl\

Is a field of pines, each great "apple"
guarded by a circle of glittering, tdiarp
edged bayonets. In Florida the pine
apple leaf is so sharply serrated that
t he thought of getting around among
t hem suggests a Held of torture. Invo
lution seems to have progressed fur
ther In Cubit, for on the older and
more carefully cultivated plantations
the saw tot'th that edge the long, point
ed leaves have mainly disappeared.
Before the war it was the sigiit of
a lifetime to go out to Marlanao, a
suburb of Havana, and there drive
through an estate which had No.immi
pineapple plants In full bearing. Over
in Nassau they call the plno planta
tions "groves" and "orchards," jih if
they wore trees. Whether groves or
fields the plant is about the same, pro
ducing one of (lie most luelous ami
popular fruits known to man. for
which there is a constant and ample
demand. I. ike most tilings worth hav

"pines" are not easy tft get at. A very
short stroll among th't? stinging leaves
will lead you to sympathize with t he
New Yorker who, after a visit to
Marianao. said: "You do nw mind the
lirst L'.OOO or .'{.ono sticks and prods
from the needle points of the bayonet
leaves as you cross a tield. but after
a while your tortured cutis can en
dure no more and your remarks about
the pincappht crop are likely to lie
prejudiced by present soron^j*#;' How
much nices It would be if I lie 'apples'
really did grow in 'orchards,' and you
could send a colored boy up the trees
to shake down a few, and then you
could sit down in tlx.' shade and eat
them!"
A plant produces only one pine at a
lime. The fruit thrusts itself upward
in the middle of a nias of long, narrow
and sharp arched leaves, spreading
forth from a central stalk, precisely
like those of the Agave Americana,
nr ?'century" plant, with which every
body is familiar. The stem is perhaps
eighteen Inches to two feet high.
The same plant produces a second
apple, and a third, and so on through
several bearings, after which a new
plant must be started from the "slip."
Nothing is easier of cultivation or rc
unices less capital and previous ex
perience. and few crops bring in great
er returns.

The "tt'lilic Woman."
In sonic parts of < Jerinany, partlou
lnrly in Bohemia, Romo^imHt extraordi
nary talon art* reiported of tin* "white
woman." This celebrated K''<>st is sup
posed to represent a woman of very
modest appearance,. excessively tall,
oik! her dross entirely white. She Is
never sej'n wlthQtif" a very long "veil
reaching noaify to her ankles,, mid
which isjdf such ton1 Impervious nature
that no porsoji7 has ever Iwn able to
oldnlii a K^wi>so of her features. On
one single occasion, however, It Is ro
ported that she condescended -to lift up
ber veil, when stion a blay.o of Twaufy
hurst upon the astonished beholder that
he was actually rooted to the spot for a
considerable time. The lady never
leaves her subterranean or her celestial
abode but for the charitable purpose
of Informing an Individual of ap
proaching death. Thus it la very com
mot) to say In some part* of Germany
"the white woman** has vlaited him,
meaning thereby that all hopes aro
vanished of a recovery, and tfcara aro

SPEAKER REED'fl EPIGRAMS.

Nu Muu Now iu l'ubllo l.lfo ltt?i?
Hetter One*.
There la more public Interest in the
occasional philosophical remarks of
Speaker Thomas II. Heed of Mnluu
thuu !? those of any other American
statesman, Hays the Springfield (Mas*.,)
Itepubllcnii. This U because the Anfer:
lean people recognize in him one of
jho 1110.it intellectual turn In public lift-*,
4? \y*cll uh the wittiest ami brightest.
Wherefore we ( till from Mr. Heed's ro
cent address In l'hiladelphla ou "Ste
phen tJIranl" tin* following sayings:
"No progress which did not lift all
ever lifted any."
"Wo must all inove, but we must all
keep together."
"The genera (Ion In which ho lives
ran seldom understand the really great
mail. We live for to daj' and he livcH
for a day after to (lay.*'
"Were thl? the proper time, 1 could
iihow that warn- and wars ought to bo
banished forever, from the face of the
earth: that pestilences- and tl.o time is
oniing when they will be no more;
that persecutions and Inquisitions ami
liberty of thought Is thfl richest pearl
of life- Dial all these wars, pestilences
and persecutions were but helps to the
unity of mankind."
"If the lofty and the learned do not
lift us up. we drag them down."
"The overruling Providence, tif which
we talk so much and know so little."
In these sentences one finds the epl
gramattc quality that Is so characteris
tic of .Mr. Heed's mode of expression.
The sayings that will live longest, how
ever, are those that are tipped with a
Hashing wit. Thus the third quotation
about the great man, while well said,
Is not uncommon in Its brilliancy, but
when .Mr. Heed remarked, with this
same idea In mind, yet from a different
point of view: "A statesman Is a poli
tician who is dead," he gave tho world
what has already become a classic and
will live as long as the most mordant
sayings of Voltaire. Koiue one should
take pains to collect Mr. Heed's epi
grams, witticisms and retorts as they
have been uttered during the past
twenty live years.
It is a significant fact that a colony
of Kngllsh -speaking people, Instead of
abandoning their native tongue and
embracing that of their adopted na
tionality, Invariably adhere to their
own language and eventually color that
of the people with whom they are
brought into contact. It Is also signljti-'
cant that Kngllsh Is the only languago
wldch is now showing rapid growth.
Most of the other tongues are slowly
dying.

Nitrate of soda Is a valuable fertilizer
for si i'ji wherries and raspberries, and
should bo applied with jwwdered phos

strawberries will sometimes treble the
yield. The berries are larger In size,
handsomer in color, uioro solid and
finer in flavor. Ordinary manure will
not produce such results, as It Is not
