ppr THE CANDLE. "Nor do men light a candle and put it tinder a bushel "?Matt. f>:15. Your candle is so small, so small. It makes scarce any light: The feeble word you may let fall. Has neither strength nor might? And there he many greater ones Who outshine you ny far, As do the sky-illuming suns Outgrow the furthest, slur? . I Hut of all good sounds ever heard , I There is none hail' so fair - I As one uncalculated word - | That soothes some dim despair, "" ( j And what a dull sky it would be If all the points of light Were gone, and we might only see The suns of wondrous jaigiii. fc.c He who holds un his little flame Knows not what straining eyes May find it guiding them from shame Jnto a paradise: \ All may not climb the lofty steep. All may not lead the throng. But each may shelter and may keep Aglow some word or song. Ohi" ' jYYe know not how our candle gleams, It may be sconced in gold. e:- Or it may send its cheering gleams ^ ' From some cup worn and old. And that which fate has held apart ? From pathways wide and grand, May glow with light which finds a heart v, Attuued to understand. : , The little word, the little smile, The little song you know? These make the candle all the while Ly That we must keep aglow. lAnd we may think its trembling light Unnoticed by all eyes? But there is greater dark of night When that lone candle dies. ?W. D.

The valleys are all fenced and farmed now, and Lanook in many ! respects is "all same white man.'' j But he loves the old wild Indian | A4xrc inres tn mam .ojr.iin in the land ! of youth and strength and achieve- j ment. The eld man was a daily vis- j itor when I lived in the country that ! once was his, and time and time again he would bare his forearm and knee, show me the deep, livid scars of a grizzly's teeth, and tell me the i following story. Long before the whites came he and Nishka, now many years dead, were returning from Piit River with a big catch of salmon strung on a pole carried on their, shoulders. Nishka walked ahead. Eefore them ran Lanook's little dog. clearing the . path of chipmunks and squirrels. ,v. 4 As they descended a slope which overlooks Fall Valley, they heard the little dog yelp as if in great fear, and saw him burst from a manzanita ; thicket. He was pursued by a giant grizzly bear. Nishka fled. Lanook scrambled up vV" the nearest tree, a scrubby juniper. The bear followed the deg straight for the master's oereh, until, catch iing sight of Nishka's buckskin gar- j ments flitting through the brush, he ! turned and gave him chase. Lanook, with breath held and eyes bulging, watched his friend's flight. He was racing like the wind, but it was as if a toddling baby should attempt to outrun his father. The great slouching brute gained as if the fleet Indian had been hobbled; in almost no'time he was close upon him. The poor fellow, in despair, dodged, v. barely escaped the beast's claws, and made a dive into a laurel thicket. The b^gx crashed after?then all was eilent. The silence awohe Lanook. He leaped from his tree, gathered up the bow he had thrown aside before climbing, and ran to Nishka's rescue. The bear must have heard the rush of moccasins on the trail, for as Lanook drew within close arrowrange, the grizzly emerged from the thicket ana reareu 0:1 ins ua,uuv,ucia, ; ^ ? baring teeth that were dripping I blood.Lanook greeted him with two ar- ! rows, then^fled for his tree. The i bear, wounded and furious, chased ! him as he had chased his friend, with the fearful speed no man could I equal. Nevertheless, the Indian reached his juniper and ran up it | like a chipmunk, this time retaining his hold on his bow. * In a pouch hung from his neck Lanook carried poison made from black spiders, the fang-sacs of a rattlesnake and juice of wild parsnips; and while the grizzly pursued the howling cur round the tree, he tipped three arrows with this death-dealing ointment. The juniper which Lanook hal climbed was the first treet at hai.d? not at all the one he would have chosen to escape a grizzly. Stout branches projected from the very ground; besides, the tree tapered abruptly, and was not very tall. Round and round it raced the dog. Finally he made a quick dash, darted into a big patch of deer brush, and there succeeded in eluding his pursuer. Soon the grizzly came back to the tree, squatted on his haunches, and sat fiercely watching the Indian. Then, his breath recovered, he stood upright on his hind legs, and stretched a terrible, claw-horned paw upward. And how he did stretch! Lanook v said it was as if the animal's limbs pulled out a hand's length at each joint. He climbed till he feared the tapering treetop would break. The bear soon gave up the reaching idea and began to climb. In this he was as awkward as ho had been agile in the chase; but with the lower branches affording support for hind and forepaws, it seemed likely that could worx his way upward. . v/:- \ The great weight of the brute made the little tree bend alarmingly, ! and when he wriggled and hitched, both of which he did very violently, Lancok felt like an ant on a spear of grass whipped by the wind. Hope left the Indian; in its place came desperate resolution. He descended as far as he dared, fitted one of the poisoned arrow to his bow, and waited. The bear ceased his struggles a moment, and threw back his head to J | lock upward. Quick as the snake | strikes, Lanook buried one arrow, j I then another, in his shaggy breast, j I rrvu _ j. , 1 1 fVrvrr, 1 h ! | JLIltJ LI'W 1UILUCU SU tucix xi wiu j I bear's furious climbing that the j third arrow flew wide of the mark, j j and splintered itself on the stony j ground. Lanook dropped his bow, gave a j flying leap, and ran, still without | hope, for his life. He surprised himself with his run- ! ning, and the bear surprised him with j his awkwardness in getting disen j tangled from the tree. Lanook was ! j a long way down the slope and buoy- j ant with hope before the chase be- j gan. Filled with new strength, he ! j sped onward like a bird. I The ravine he had chosen for a j runway was smooth-bottomed and j clear of brush; the descent *vas J gentle?just right for a long, sweep- j ing stride. And yet the grizzly j gained, at first by leaps and bounds, | as a rolling rock bears down on one j embedded; then he came on with J lessened speed, but still gaining. ; v*woe hoViirid T.anook's ! ?Y UCU TtrtsJ Vivwv second wind came, and he began to j pull away from the bear rapidly. He knew then that the poison from his ! arrow-tips was working in the blood I of his enemy, and hope grew strong j within him. Had his runway remained ciear, ! Lanook could have escaped easily, ! bui fortune favored the bear. For i the ravine suddenly became blocked j with brush, and the Indian narrowly ! escaped being caught in a corner. I As it was, the bear was crowding j him close before he could get out of I the gully. Here the brush was thinner, but j he had to take a winding course to j avoid bushes and thickets, while his : pursuer crashed straight through or i over everything. The bear was at his j heels in no time, and Lanook, to pro- J tect his head and chest from the j beast's claws, threw himself on his j back and kicked out with both feet. I The grizzly seemed stupid and sluggish, but nevertheless made a : savage divp at the Indian, and buried > his teeth in his leg just above the knee. Lanook began throwing dirt I into the enemy's face, whereupon the ' ? *?i.. V>ie 1 ocr onrl rmip'Tit. | gli??i> i cicaocu jliio n.), w?0~. . him by the forearm. Still undaunted, ! the Indian sent a handful of dust and j fine gravel fairly into the brute's eyes. Half-blinded, the bear backed j away, pawing his eyes furiously, i Lanook filled his fist with dirt, and j lay motionless, waiting. But the j bear never returned to him. He ! .continued backing about and rubbing his eyes, and finally retreated into the thick brush, scratched a shallow j hole there, and lay down. There he > was found the next day by Lanook's j tribesmen, stone-dead. Lanook managed to drag himself ; back to the trail, where he was short iy discovered by another party of , fishermen, and carried home. Nishka I was found and cared for also. He ; had feigned death throughout the i bear's attack, and although crippled, ; lived to tell his children's children of Lanook, his friend and rescuer, and j of his battle with the giant grizzly j bear.?From Youth's Companion. j HE'S THE WHOLE CREW. Skinner Hall the Cook r.nd the Mate ?n ( and the Bo's'n Bold of the Angler. j Captain Parker J. Hall, of Nan- ! tucket, skipper of the two masted J schooner Angier, is his own mate, j ; steward and crew. His stated rea- i sons for it are not that he is moody ; or fond of his own company, or that f it is more economical, but simply j i that, because of an impediment in his j j speech, he feels that he can think j j out and execute his own orders more j j rapidly than any crew could under- j j stand him if he tried to talk. Captain Hull is a native o! Dux- > bury, Mass., but his home is his j ! schooner, and on board her his young ; j wife goes about her housekeeping j J duties just the same ,as she would j ! were it an ivy grown cottage. The Angler nerself is no cmcKen, j says the Boston Herald. Sne was i built in 185 4 and her owner found j her an abandoned hulk, half buried j in the sand. He bought her for next i ! to nothing, fitted her with second j j hand spars and began to make a liv- j ing and a name for himself in the j coastwise trade. His brother mariners find fault ! with him for recklessness, on the ' ground that his holding irons are not ! big enough. Skipper Hall is forced to put up with anchors much lighter than those of the average craft of the Angler's build carries, because it would be impossible for any one man to raise the heavy kind unaided. He recently made a record run ! across the Sound under full sail and ! came up into anchorage in fine shape, before the admiring gaze of half the j. tlio iinrhnr* Sirinnpf (.O'.VXI. 1 U C11 m .*?? ..v.. .

The crew of the Gresham are talking yet of the surprise their captain got when he saw one man bringing a j two masted schooner through the I narrow drift. * Breaks Dog of Egg Eating.

Does it burn out humus in the soil or does it only free potash and phosphoric acid, in which case it would not be injurious, as the elements freed would be appropriated by plant life? J. E. B. R., Renovo, Pa. Answer:?Lime performs a valuable service to plant growth by rendering the potash of the soil more available. It prevents the soluble phosphoric acid in fertilizers from forming a base with iron or alumina, which is undesirable because phosphates of iron and alumina are insoluble. Lime also promotes the decomposition of organic substances? humus, sod. etc. It hastens the change of ammonia into nitric acid, and sweetens the soil.?The Country Gentleman. Age Limits of Dairy Cows. A bulletin from the Wisconsin Station states that a cow is at her best during her fifth and sixth years, up to which time the -production of milk and butter fat by cows in normal condition increases each year. The length of time the cow will maintain her maximum production depends on her constitution, strength and the care with which she is fed and managed. A good dairy cow should not show any marked falling off until after ten years of age. Many excellent records have been made by cows older than this. The quality of the milk produced by heifers is somewhat better than that of older cows, for a decrease has been noted of one to two-tenths of one per cent, in the average fat content for each year until the cows have reached the full age. This is caused by the increase in the weight of the cows with advancing age. At any rate, there seems to be a parallelism between the two sets of e +V./S no ry. n nnrr'c Yn:iT1 f?aT)i Jig m CS 1U1 LUC OC.U1U VWUW. ~ ~ s 0 mals use a portion of their food for the formation of body tissue, and it is to be expected, therefore, that heifers will require a larger portion of nutrients for the production of milk or butter fat than do other cows. After a certain age has been reached, on the average seven years of age, the food required for the production of a unit of milk or butter fat again increases, both as regards dry matter and the digestible components of the food. A good milch cow of exceptional strength, kept under favorable conditions, whose digestive system has not been impaired by overfeeding or crowding for high results, should continue to be a profitable producer till her twelfth year, although the economy of her production is apt to be somewhat reduced before this age is reached. Only Farmers Trust in Providence. Farmers are the only people who put all their trust in Providence. The farmer not only trusts Provi * ' :~ + V.mmehiro aence lur tut; taiu <a,uu mc ouu^uiu^i but also for the price he is to' get. If there is no rain in Russia and a drought in the Argentine Republic while there is plenty of it in North America, the farmer of this country harvests 3 big crop and gets a good price. If there is drought in North America and not much rain in Russia the farmer here gets a fair price for what little he has, but if Providence favors him with plenty of rain all over the earth he hardly makes enough to pay for the seed he plants, because the bulls and the bears of commerce eat up all of his profits. They bet millions of dollars that the price will be only fifty cents when natural causes would let it go to a dollar, because it is worth that to raise it and to ship it to the places of distribution in the United States. Yes, the farmers trust to Providence; but not so with the millers nor with the shippers. They know that the Lord helps him who helps himself, and they know how to do that to the queen's taste. In fact, everybody helps himself but the farmer. He tries to follow out the Bible doctrine: If a man steals your coat give him your pants, also. Some farmers do that hut others are learning: better. The farmers who are organized in the American Society of Equity mean to give the speculators a race for their money. They propose to set the price on whatever they produce and to get that price, if they have to hold the surplus until there is a demand. They are going to act the part of Joseph and save up during the fat years and during the fat months and the fat days for the years, and the months and the days of leanness.?Farmers' Home Journal. Fertilizer For Corn. It is the opinion of many farmers that commercial fertilizer does not pay when applied to the corn crop. It is true that it does not when applied as many apply it. In order that commercial fertilizer may be made to yield a profit on the corn crop the soil should be well prepared and well supplied with vegetable humus. The commercial fertilizer ? 1 ^ u + r\ nolonoa thn nlonj BDUUIU UC UJCU iv u tw ti u v. w tjaw food in the soil, and since stable -'.'"v1.- '-tt -ssggyn # * *. j manure Is most deficient in phosj phoric acid, it is often a good plan to apply a moderate application of su- j perphosphate to land where the stable manure is applied, or where a sod is turned for corn. The fertilizer should be distributed all through the soil rather than applied j I to the hill in order to encourage me roots to branch out all through the soil in search of food. A few year3 go I saw an old field which had laid j out for years and had grown nothing but broom sedge. It was regarded as worn out. The broom sedge was turned and 200 pounds per acre of a good grade superphosphate drilled in with a common drill. The field was put to com and grew a very good crop of corn. In this part of the country almost any old sod field when well prepared will bring a pretty good crop of corn with an ap-: j plication of a phosphate only. If j the fert.lizer is depended on to grow:: the crop from year to year it will soon cease to respond to such fer- ! tilization, but the proper plan to pursue is to get such lands to grass or clover as soon as possible and get something to supply vegetable matter to the soil. By using the phosphate in connection with the stable manure the j manure can be made to go farther and both being used together they will give better returns than when they are used separately.?A. J. Legg, in The Epitomist. Feeding and Milk. The fact that proper feed and good care do make a difference in the ! amount of milk which a cow will J give is shown by the following, from j the Modern Farmer: " ? i ? +t,-s I nere is <111 inubuiiuuu uc influence of proper feeding and good care, and perhaps, proper milking. The editor of the Modern Farmer bought out of a dairy herd a young Jersey that had been giving milk nearly a year, first calf. She was giving less than two quarts of milk at a milking when she came to us and had been sold because it did not pay to milk her. She was very thin and dirty, but very gentle and kindly disposed. We put her on good alfalfa hay and what we thought to be the proper feed, used the currycomb freely, treated her kindly, milked her regularly and properly. She is now giving two and one-half gallons of milk per day, and from all indications she has not. yet reached the j limit, ui course, an dairy cows would not respond in this way in so short a time, about one month, but many of them would, and those which would not are not profitable cows to j keep. This heifer was probably cost- | ing the party who had her as much ! to keep her as it is costing the editor of the Modern Farmer, but she was not being fed on the right kind of feed, ear corn and timothy hay, to i produce milk. Perhaps the treat- j ment and method of milking had, also, something to do with it, but we do not know anything about this. We substituted alfalfa for the timothy, and ground corn for ear corn, mixed with a little bran, and pushed her as fast as we thought safe, with the result mentioned above. We will leave our readers to draw their own conclusions from our statement of | facts. Keeping Youngs Folks on Farm. For some time past the drift of youths to the cities and towns from our rural districts has been greatly detrimental to the welfare of those engaged in farming pursuits, hence the Question. Kow can we keep the young people on the farm? In my opinion this question may be answered by saying: Give more attention to their environment. Make home more attractive and amusing. The reason I believe so many leave: their country homes is in search of! pleasure. Now, why should we notprovide some luxuries for our homes, and thus save our young people from the many snares encountered in civic life? In order that we use discretion in our selection of home amusements, we must first study the individual tastes nf rmr vnnfrh Tt mav he the DUrchase of an organ or piano may fill the bill from mother's side of the house,: while the father may fulfil his duty: by the gift of some good literature,' or perhaps a colt may cultivate a liking for home life. There are many things that will suggest themselves as we look this question in the face. An advanced education along agricultural lines gives us to realize the reainess of our profession. The visit of a good agricultural weekly may tend to stimulate an interest for rural life. The formation of literary and other societies gives an opportunity for the development of social and literary life. The introduction of agriculture as a study in the curriculum of our public schools would be of vital importance in the widening of views and the development of agriculture in general.

No particulars can be learned, but no denial of a robbery is made. * * * Wreck Near Waterloo.

His body was recovered shortly afterwards and an inquest was held. The jury returned a verdict of death from accidental drowning. Young Hooper was in swimming and was seized with cramps, but he managed to reach the opposite shore. After resting a while he started to swim back. His friends urged him not to a; tempt it, but he offered to wager $5 that he could swim it. * * * To Push Navy Yard Work. Work has been ordered to be conducted with greater progress at the Charies;on navy yard and the cotfer dam of the new dry dock is now being worked on by night as weii as by day forces. The contract has been let for dredging a strip of marsh, and it will not be long before the new dry dock wil be ready to receive ve*i sels of the navy. The need of increas| ed decking facilities is responsible for the greater activity a; the yard. * * * Crushed to Death by Train. A. W. Price, a promising young man, was crushed to death by an engine at Winona, Florence county. Price has for some time been acting as assistant to the depot agent, though not in the em'plcy of the railroad company, and it ; seems in delivering orders to the en! gineer or conductor, slipped under or was in some way caught by the wheels of the train and crushed to death. He was the son of a widowed mother. * * The Work of Wreckers. Southern railway officials suspect that the wreck at Richland, a few days 1 age, in which eleven persons were injured, was the result of the switch at that point, haying been tampered with. Detectives are now at work trying to fix the blame. Investigation has shown that the last ;rain using the switch near Richland | was No. 11, which ? reaches Atlanta I about 9 p. m. After No. ll had passed, j Ncs. 43 and 45 went safely over the main track, not entering the switch and I in no way impairing it. The next train to come was the one which was wrecked. That train wreckers have been at work seems conclusive. Every effort will bp> made to find the auiltv persons. f * * * \ State Lumbermen Reorganize. | Under call of J. H. McLaurin, Jr., | and others, formerly of the old South Carolina Pine Lumber Association, which last year amalgamated with the North Carolina Pine Association, comi bining under one head practically all j of the largest lumber mills in Virginia, i North Carolina, South Carolina and i i eastern Maryland, representatives of > South Carolina mills, met at Sumter ! with a view to withdrawing from the Notrh Carolina Pine Lumber Association and reorganizing the South Carolina Association. This is declared to be because of the fact that certain of the South Carolina mill men see only continuation of ihe South Carolina representation as a minority in the larger body, which conirols some 175 mills, of which fif:y or sixty are in South Carolina. . * * Negro Attacks Preacher. Considerable excitement prevailed the past week about the tovhi of Troy aver a murderous assault upon Rev. P. R. Bradley by a negro farm hand named John Zuber. The negro was or dered to do some farm work by Mr. " <p Bradley, and was reprimanded for not ? attending to it,whereupon he attacked the preacher with a knife, gashing him once on each side of the threat and down the back.' Zuber escapecb and neariy every man in the community began scouring the woods in the search. He was finally caught at Clinton, in Launrens county, and turned over to Sheriff McMillan a: Greenwood. Xo lynching is feared, as the.sheriff m will protect his prisoner at all hazards. The sheriff had offered $100 reward for flio nrrpst nf rhp nesrrn" and the srnvern- Z or had decided tod offer a similar V amount when he was apprised of the negro's capture. * * After Charleston Blind Tigers. Mayor Rhett of Charleston has thrown a comb into the ranks of the ^?j blind tigers and beer bottling plants by issuing instructions to the police de- ' <*. partment to pay special attention to .-v the blind tigers which draw their supply of liquor from wholesale houses % outside of the state. The blind tigers which draw their supply of liquors '-'M from the dispensary will not be fined as heavily as those which purchase .> % outside of the official and regular li- quor establishments, the idea being v to discourage contraband business and -Vp swell the receipts of the local dispen- - saries. Mayor Rhett thinks that once he knocks the wholesalers out of business* a long step will have been taken towards the solution of the blind tiger . '5' business in Charleston. The mayor has also notified the beer bottling agencies and a local brewery that the licenses ^ which were recently issued to them does no: give them the right to sell to consumers. They will be required J* to sell probably through a specially ap- - ,1 pointed dfspenser, who will charge a royalty upon all the beer which is sold. SPENT MtLLION AND A HALF. Typographical Union Turned Loose an immense Sum During Past Year. The annual reports of the national officers of the International Typograph* ical Union to the fifty-third session | of the International, which will be ^ held at Hot Springs, Ark., Augus-: 1217, have been printed, and are being mailed to the convention aeiegaies. , The report of the president, James. M. Lynch, touches on the struggle for an eight-hour work day, and saye the. v-; strike roll has been reduced corapaia- \ ^ lively to inconsequential proportions - ^ in all except a few cities. Considerable space is devoted to the \ efforts toward sanitary conditions and the effort to stamp out tuberculosis. :^c Various other matters of general in- f terest to the members of the International, including the relations between . the five international unions in the ' C printing trades, the Union Printers' Home, the apprentice problem, etc., are set forth. The report of the secretary-treasurer, J. W. Bramwood, shows that there was received during the year ended May 31, 1907, $1,804,950, and that there -inWnor tVio wrnp r.eriod was tfjtpciiucu uuuiib ? $1,642,441. The assets of the organization as > represented by the money in the varlous funds May 31, 1907, is given at $283,952, an increase during the year f in the regular fund of $162,489. The report shows that the average paying membership of the last year was 42,357, a decrease of 2,623 mem- |l bers. It is stated, however, that "in -g this connection it is well to remember 3 that for twenty months the organization has been battling for a universal Jjg eight-hour work day in all branches of the printing trade." The report shows that there were H 576 local unions May 31, 1907, a decrease of 66. "r * m APPARITION SCARED POPE. Alleged Appearance of Virgin's Hand ''i-.f, Moved Him to Action. .
