A good many people who call them selves critics are mierely kickers. Give any man who has paid a com pilinent timo enough, and he will qual- V try it. About the most expensive experi ence the average man can have is to accept gifts. As a rule, people do not rebuke you for telling gossip until they have heard all the details. When the members of a family quar rel some very clever things are said which no one present applauds or re peats. It is every wife's opinion that her husband needs her to protect him, and his experience later as a widower goes to prove it. One of these days the man who gets scolded when lie complains of his wIfe's biscuits will drop dead when he hears her apologizing for them to corupany. Atchison Globo. The Poison of Wonith. Great riches, carrying with them enormous possibilities of se!f indul gence, may fairly be considered as a sort of poison which ruins a certain proportion of those who nre exposed to it, though strong constitutions sur vive. As runi destroys savages, so I wealth tends to destroy persons-espo cilly young ones, whom use and train-1 Ing have not gradually made immune< to its effects. blow that is may readily be noticed In observing the eil'ects of newly won wealth on the families of the winners. It is a rare man and usun- I ally one very much blessed in his wife, who can combine with the ability that < wins hlim riches the sagacity to train t children born in comparative povwerty ( so that they wvill benefit b~y a rapid andr radlical improvement in his circume stances.-Ikwar-d S. Martin In Atlan- t tic. The secret of securing the large yield C of fifty-five bushels of corn to the acret on a 4,000 acre cornfield in Iowa last y-ear is found largely in the fact that a peorfect stand of corn wvas secured, and this stand was secured by the most thorough and careful work in the mat ter of testing the seed corn and the C proper adjustment of the plates in the ' planters. An examination of this field showed that nearly every hill had just three stalks, nio more, no less. Most IEnglish municip~alities are mod els of civic admninistrationm. There seems to be an entire abse ' t'mat t grafting spirit which is g> :I in t American cities.

Picturesque and Puzling Fire Dance of the Indinn,. Mysterious are inany of the ways of he red man. Dr. Matthews of Wash ngton gave an interesting account of t fire dance which he was fortqnato nough to witness in the far west.' The pectators were seated about a largo pen space, in the center of whi.ch bu.-n d ruddy fire. Suddenly sounded a loud blowing of outralo )horns, mingled with a strange ry like the call of a sand hilll crane. enrer and nearer it came, and then here bounded into the circle ton men, inked to the waist and bearing long undles of shredded cedar bark. Round and round the fiue danced the Ittle procession, chanting and waving he flexible fagots. After some time he leador abruptly stopped and lighted Is fagot of bark. The others followed is example. Now began a wild rnce. At first the ndlans kept close, spitting upon each ther's back a substanco supposed to ave medicInal virtue. Soon they ran r-ithout concert, the long,* brilliant treamers of flamo flaring behind them. LFt they sped over the ground round be circle they applied the fiery brands o the bodies of themselves and con ades. Not a man turned as the vig rois, burning blows descended on his aked back. Sometimes they would oize the brand -in their hands and rub t over their flesh as If it were 'a ponge and they were giving them elves a bath of flames. On they nneed and whipped and rubbed until 11 seemed a dazzling ring of fire to the nlookers. And were there sore and blistered acks the next day under the careless y worn blankets? Apparently not, for )r. Matthews saw and talked with the ctors directly after the dance, and hey seemed to experience no discom ort. Ills explanation of the secret does not nclude the mysterious compound which lie Indians spat upon each other. That, c thinks, was probably of no value. lut cedar bark ignites at a low temu erature, and the white earth with rhich the men were thickly coated was n excellent nonconductor.-Youth's !ompanion.

The Southern Cotton Association will not ask the farmers of the South to reduce the cotton acreago for 1906 loss than that of 1906. The Association does ask and in sist with all the force at its coi, mand that the acreage planted in O.LLon1 throughout the belt in 1906 be not increasod during tho plit ing season of 1900. Let the watch word of every Southern farmer b., Diversification and through that agency produce an abundance of ft.od supplies to rmaatain each farm. PermanoL c independence, thrift and prosperity can only be onjoyed by southern cotton grow ers through the adoption and maintenance of a system which will make each farm self -sushin oug. It is the only medium through which the present iniqui tous credit system, which has. io tong held our people in bondaQe, can be effectively broken up and relegated to the past. It is the on. ly medium through which the great cotton producers can ever hope to control the sale of their cotton in the mairkets of the coun try and force consumerw and buy ers to pay them fair and just pri ces for the staple. Any system which forces the producer to mar ket his crops rapidly in order to meet maturing obligations to pay for.supplies that could be more cheaply raised at home will ever tend to make a slave of the grower, minimizing the rights of rnanhood whi-:h every southern cotton raiseir should enjoy to the fullest eytent. OVER-PRODUCTION A SERIOUs ME NANCE. In the spring of 1905 a crisis so rious aind potential faced the cot ton growers of the South by reason of over-production of cotton in 1904. The Southern Cotton Asso ciation at that time waged an act ive and effective campaign for the reduction of c)tton area planted in 1905. - The advice of the Associa.. tinn was loyally supported by the cotton growers throughout the en. tire cotton belt and a reduction of fully fivo million aerfis was strick, on from the cotton area of 1905 and planted in other crops. The result of this display of good judg ment on the part of the farmers is today seen in bringing the produc. Lion of cotton within the legiti. maLe demands for con-umption, go .d prices for the staple and well filled corn cribs fromi Noithi Caro lina to the Rio Grande R iver. The agricultural, commermi, iindus. trial and financial inetere-te of th' Sooth are today enjoyin;: an erna or prosperity far in excess of any pe. riod experienced within the past half century. To maintain our present p sition aned forge ahead in the achievement of greeter Sie. cess, it is imperative that. no seri ous misc tke be ma~do by the plant era who are now making their ar rangementse for the spring plantinig of 1906. Let every man pause and calmly consider hise future ev'4n while enjoying the flush of a victory which has beeni the most marvel. 1)ns ever won~ in mnodern timesg. PRlESENTr ACREAOE SUFICIENTr.

"I think the greatest shock I ever ex perienced and the biggest revolt against my discipline occurred when I was teaching in a country high school," said the schoolteacher. "It was in a school where the valedictory honor was award ed by popular vote of the school, a most unjust method, by the way, but one to which I was forced to succumb. The girl who received the most votes was by ip means the best scholar, and the pupil who ranked highest in scholar ship was plainly indignant. "Every boy and girl in the class was obliged to write and rend a graduation essay, and it was my task to look these essays over and aid in the rewriting of thom. The pupil who ranked the high est in the elnes handed in her essay to ine with some deflance, and in it I found some reference to the valedictory honor being rightly hers. I cut it out and told her plainly that nothing of that sort should go into her paper. She agreed to leave It out. "The graduation exercises were pass ing off splendidly when it came her turn to read her essay. She bin a facile way of writing, and I was proud ot her, but when she reached whtt I knovew was the conclusion sie stepped forward a little and proceeded to deliver two pages of regulation valedictory. She bade farewell to the chess, the school and the teachers, and of course we could not stop her.
