The writer hus never con?u rr dd in tho idea that ministers should the Uo8pel-both as a minister and as a citizen-to take an aotivo interest in politics. Tho Green ville Mountaineer has tho follow ing to say bearing upon this sub ject: "To put it mildly, it i? always provoking to us to hear a man say that prcaohers should not dabble in politics. One would think from tho way some mon talk that a preachor was not a citizen in the ordinary acceptation of the term, and hence should not stoop to min glo in "dirty politics;" that a min ister is something more than an ordinary man,-a religious leader, as it were, who should stand aloof from matters of earth and concern himself merely with the spiritual side of affairs. There may bo some ministers who take that view of it, but wc believe there are precious few of thom who are now of that opinion, Wo don't believe minis ters ought to bc politicians in the ordiuary acceptation of the word "politician", but they should be leaders of the people, leading them to highor and nobler things, to a bettor realization of their duties aa citizens. If ministers would take moro interest in politics, if thc poo ple would follow their advice and leadership and not bo so glib about Bwaliowing the words of some tltoii. own j?loi i ii (vi M . i) >M<. i the days of "dirty politics" would bc numbored. There is such a thing as clean politics but to have such we must follow leaders whose ?very .word and deed is above reproach. I jet the preacher? take a baud and we are quite sure there will bo purer politics in South Carolina. When we hear a man .expressing regrets that a minister i meddles in politics, wo arc quite ?eure wo iiavc spotted one who does not wish to see any improvement, it suits him too well as it is. Tho preacher bolongs to a higher class than he." No Wonder Ile Moved. The following rjotico was found posted on a deserted homo in tho itrid rogins of Kansas: "Four milos (from a neighbor, sixteen milos from a postoffioo, twonty-fivo milos from a railroad, fourteon milos from a Behool house, forty ono miles to a church, 1.80 milos to timbor, 600 milos to a demo crat, halt a milo to hell and the ?ame distance to a republican.

De partment of Agriculture, in the Virginia-. Carolina Fortlllzor Almanac Wo know that some orope will bear largor amounts of fertilisers with reason, able assurance of profitable returns than may bo expectod of other soils.' A crop that occupies tho soil from ?he fall season until spring, or carty summer, will bear heavier fertilizing than will a crop that Is planted In tho spring and ripens for harvest In midsummer. The first caso ls illustrated by oats, wheat, or other small grain, or grass, especially whon sown In the fall or tho year. Such a crop occu pies the soil during the late fall and win lor, and early spring-during which pe riods the rains aro usually abundant ripening for harvest in lato spring, or very early summer, before tho ' burning summor heat and possible drouths ot June and July. Oats and wheat therefore ?re Ideal crops for liberal fertilising. Corn Is rather an uncertain crop on the .rdlnary dry uplands of tho South. It tas but a short period In which to devel p Its flowers-tassels and silks-cover ng but a few days. Ii very dry weather ?hall prevail when this critical period ls approaching, and for somo tlmo after it ls passed, tho crops may provo a greater or lesa ialluro. Thero can be no second e.fort. no second period of blooming. It ir, different in tho caso of cotton, which commences to bloom and make fruit in June (or ovon earlier) and con tinues throughout tho summer until checked by a severe frost In November. It has a number of "chances." Cotton Is therefore another Ideal crop for liberal fertilizing. A small' amount of fertilizers applied per acre will no doubt ylold a larger percentage prout on Its cost than will a larger amount. To illustrate: An application of $2 worth of fertilizer por aero may cause an in creased ylold of cotton (at 10 cents per pound) of tho valuo of $? to 18, or a prollt of 200 to 300 per cent, on Its cost. I have frequently had such results. But it does not follow that twlco as heavy an appli cation will produce twice ns large re sults, or that thrco times as much would cause thrco times as groat an Increase In tho ylold. In other words, tho rate of lncren8o In tho yield of cotton will not bo In proportion to tho increase In tho amount of forttllzors applied. Two dollars' worth of fertilizer per acre may yield an Increase In tho crop of'$?; but $6 worth would not thereforo bring an (ncreaso of $18. But careful observation has shown that an application of tfi to IG worth of fertil izers (properly balanced) ls a safe amount to apply per nen- on cotton. Many farm ers In Georgia l.avo socu.ed natlsfactory returns from an application ot so much as 800 pounds por aero, I think COO pounds a perfectly sate limit on upland In fairly good condition, well prepared and properly cultivated in cot ton. For corn, I would limit tho amount to 200 to 300 pounds por aero on ola up lands. 'I ll ll U?l Tho Best Thing in tho World, Henry Ward Beecher never gavo expression to anything that ia truer or bettor than tho follow ing: Tho best thing in thia world is a good man. The first thing that a human being should recognize about himself is that his character is his distinguishable feature. It io not tho amount of money, the amount of power, the amount ol brains that a mau has, but hie character. Whatever fellow-men may say or do to the contrary, this is a fact, that what soparatet him from others and gives him Iiis individuality, is his sroodnesr m Uod's sight, which is the final and determined sight, men ar( what they are in wisies and pur poses. It is not, thon, too mud to say that the suprome ambitior. of a person's lifo should be to so euro a worthy character. You daily duties are part of your re ligious lifo just as much aa you devotions.

"Do unto others \ as you would have them do unto you," Tho real queen of tho rose bud garden of girls is she who scatters kind words, kind smiles and swcot courtesies along tho way, who remembers her friends at all seasons vith equal cordiality.

Her dignity diffuses itself like tho perfume of a rose; you delight in it ns muoh as you rospcot it. Patience, self control, kindness and veracity also characterize tho model girl. Sho bears in mind that "Homo was not built in a day," and so bides her timo not in too big a hurry when any object is to be accomplished. Self-control is tho base of all virtues.

Pushing up Its eyelids with his hand, ho told Hue to look ot them, at the same time volunteering tho information that lt was not noon yet. While they wore ,puzzling over tho case tho boy went about his busi ness. When tho party reached tho village, thoy asked tho Christian converts If they could tell the time by a oat's eyes und how lt was done. Immediately thoro wus a wild hunt, and all tho oats obtainable In tho neighborhood were brought before them. Tho Chinese pointed out that tho pu pils of a cat's eyes wero gradually nar rower up to 12 noon, when they be came scarcely perceptible lines drawn perpendicularly across the oyo, and after that dilation recommenced. Hue examined tho eyes of several cats and verified what the Chlnoso had told him.-Chicago Chronicle. AN ODD WAGER. Th* Peculiar Bet m Korella I'rlnce I,?ld ?md Wen lu 1'urln.
