C., JANUARY 2^, 1890. 3 OUT OF THE WOODS. •Great Gobs” of Sense From Sago of Rocky Greek the hi <Ju«»tlon of ••Hook* and Book I-aarnln"—Money Knoufh Waited for Fancy Trlmmins to “Feed the Wtd- deri and Orplianti and Ituild a y»rr School Home in Every Settlement.” (Copyright, 189C.) Book learnin is a riRht tolerable good thing, no doubts, in the right and proper place. There is nothin like it under the sun, and nothin ho ter un less it maybe mought ho a lit tle more of it. | But it never was give unto man kind in general — weak and wayward worms of the dust—to fix up the right and proper place to put it. Only the good Lord can do that, and if it comes to pass that Ho didn’t tend to it in layin the founda tions it simoly can't bo did. And con sequentially I maintain that in this present day and generation people waste more time and more money tryin to pack down hook learnin whore there ain't no place for it than any other way. The money which is hlowed in along these lines would feed and clothe all the poor widders and orphants in the land and build a good log school house in every settlement. “Tremcnrtius Heavy Thought*.” One clear frosty mornin last week 1 saw Billy Strickland, the onlyest son of Dunk and his wife, pass by on his way to school, and that is how it come to pass that I am thinkin these tremendius heavy thoughts. I took good notice of that boy as ho ambled along the big road, and right then and there I couldn't keep from thinkin of how Dunk and his wife have worked and worried, and starved and stinted, and saved and scratched and scraped up a little money in orderment to blow it in on that sim- lin-headed boy at school. You mought think—and the Stricklands would be dead certain to say—that it was none of my infernal business. But that wouldn't keep me from seoin Billy on his way to school, and the sight of that boy is what makes me tell you what I do con- cernin the great and growin question of schools and hooks and book learnin. Understand me now—I don’t mean to aay that Billy Strickland ain’t worth bis room in the world or his weight in sap sawdust. In his own pecurious way Billy is a rale smart boy. He ain't the least wise lazy, ami when it comes to makin plow stocks and ox yokes and ax bandies and the like of that, he could beat me out of sight and give me three ia the game. And indurin crop time Billy will put as much fresh dirt behind him in a day as any boy of his ago in tha settlement. Of course he wouldn’t be a thoroughbred American hoy if he didn’t love to swap knives and play marbles for keeps, and go huntin and flshin considerable between drinks, as it were. And yet he will turn off a boy s full share of odds and ends and jobs on the farm. But when it comes to tondin school, and diggin the learnin out of books and packin it away under his bat—well, Billy Strickland ho jest naturally ain’t there. In the boginnin he don’t want to learn. Ho knows a gracious plenty now. And be couldn’t learn very much if he wanted book learnin so bad till he could taste it. The good Lord didn’t fix up no place for Billy to pack away book learnin and he couldn't tote it in hi* pocket. More than that, tho boy can’t see whore ho will ever need any thing of the sort in his business. If a boy loves books, and '.ho good things ho can git out of books, tho more he learns and knows the better it will be for him, provldin ho is trained up in the way he was cut out to go. If a hoy raloy wants to climb up tho hill of knowledge you couldn't build a brick wall around him ten feet thick and a mile high and keep him down. But if you have got to run the boy down, and throw him and buck him and gag him, and lam and cram hook learnin into him inch by inch, it is a plum waste of time and trouble and money. If it ever comes to pass that I mought have a boy like Billy Strickland I never will bo fool enough to blow in much of his time and my money on tho school question. Seems to mo like it would bo a whole lot more better—bettor for me and better for him—to go forth and step off forty acres of land, and buy him a good mule and give him a now ax and turn him loose an i tell him to pitch in. That would please Billy Strickland all over, and he would takif to it like a bog k> her wallow. He could run a shebang like that without any book learnin to apeak of, and that is about the onlyest layout that will ever fit Billy’s hand. One Book Only for Hilly. Now Dunk Strickland and his wife pass for smart peopl • in regards to men and things in general, hut when it comes to their son Billy they ain't got a lick of sense. They don’t know as much about the general surroundins in Billy's case as Billy knows, and Billy he don’t know anything for certain. Dunk thinks that Billy mought run for congress, or maybe git elected justice of the peace byandbv, whilst his wife thinks Billy will make tho best and biggest preacher in the round created world—providin of course they can scrape up money enough to give him plenty of schoolin. The last time I was over to the Strick land place we got to talkin along this ^ine, and 1 up and told Dunk my gen eral opinions in regards to Biily. “If you will but only save back tho rittoaey you aro now spumlm on Billy at school, and when ho gits old enough to few words go forth on his own ho< k, take it and didn’t talk buy somethin that will fill out hi* hand, whole lot. it will ho a blame siirht hotter for tha tho edges, boy,” says I. “Billy ho don't take to books, and books don’t mix with Billy, and so there you are. If you was rich, and Billy was rich, and it was recorded that you would both remain forever rich, it mought sorter do to fool off pre cious time and chunk away good money in your .Tack-o'merlantern chase after hook learnin. But under the general circumference of the present surround- ins it is vanity—pluperfect vanity.” Then Dunk swelled up considerable and lowed that Billy was as smart as tho common run of boys, and he must have all tho schoolin ho would take. But bless gracious. I thought in toy soul that Mises Strickland would jump on me right there in h"r own house. She got foamin mad and flew off at the handle and turned loose her personal opinions in great gobs and red-hot chunks. She would let mo know that her and Dunk could raise a boy up in the way for him to go as well as mo or anybody else. And she would give me to understand that Billy had learnt as much as any hoy could learn unless the teacher would put him in more hooks. “Hit ain’t natural” says she, “for the boy to learn very much when he ain't got nothin to study it out of but one blue-back spellin book. ’ It was then a mighty good time of year for me to lay low and say nothin. So 1 had^to lot Dunk and his wife have their way in regards to their hoy Billy and his book learnin. As to that, they can spend every dollar they can rake and scrape and keep Billy goin to school till he comes to bn a full-grown man, but he will never need any more hooks. There is more learnin in that one blue- back spellin book than tho whole entire human family ever could stuff into Billy’s head. Too Many “Fanrjr Trim min*.” The last time 1 went over in the hill country—on my return hack homo I passed by a little shanty down there on the old Stage Road, where tho Wid- der Buntin lives. She was Miss Mollie Fannin before she married Sim Buntin. which Sim ho took and died two year* ago and left Mollie with a whole passle of children to scramble through thi* vain and fieotin world as b st she can. Wh.ereas, when 1 couin by their shanty that day 1 couldn’t h-dp from thinkin about Mollie Fannin as she use to bo in them other days, and the widder Buntin as she is now. Old man Lot Fannin and his wife didn't have but the one girl and that was Mollie. They had some boys, hut Mollie she was the mainest member of tiie family and tho general pet of all. Old man Lot and his wife worked theu.s Ives and their hoys like so many free niggers, and spent all tho money they could make and scrape on Moll e. They kept her in school till they lowed she knowed more than tho teacher down at the Cross Roads, and then they sent her off to college. When finally at last she had learnt it all and come hack home, they skimmed the rnilk and fed her on the cream, as it were. They lit in and bought her a fine planner and give her big parties and dressed her finer than split silk. They went deeper and deeper in debtevery year for fine parties and fine riggins and general fancy trimmin* which they give to Mollie, In tho main time Miss Mollie, she was human ilesh and blood, you under stand, and in the run of time she took it into her head that she must go and get married. So presently her and Sim Buntin got “booked up in double har ness,’’ as Andy Lucas were wont to say, and put in to hangin their clothes on tho same peg. Now Sim lie is dead and gon*', and in regards to that, ho didn’t stack up for very many while he was livin. From what I hear people say, it took his level blam lest to keep out of the poor house, and tho widder and children can do that much without him. But honest now, wouldn’t it be a blame sight better for Mo’lie if old man Lot bad saved up some of that money ho spent in sendin her off t<> college and giving her fine parties and huyin silks and satins, and put it in land so she would now have a home for her children and herself? Miss Mollie use to could read and write and talk latin as free and easy as I can handle plain United States, and I reckon sho can till yet. But tell me, patient and long-sufferin reader, what good will that do tho Widder Buntin and her children six ? She could like- ; wise knock tho livin socks off of a ! planner, and maybe she mought do that now if sho had one. But that don’t i put no moat in the smokehouse or meal j in the barrel. Sho has forgot more in regards to hooks than the common run of women w.ll ever know, hut at the same time sho is just simoly tho Widder Buntin today, livin in tbat little shanty down there on tho old Stage Road, worryin along as best she can workin 305 days in tho year--exceptin Sundays —to keep tho wolf out of tho front door. Remember now, it aint for mo to say a word out of tho way concornin that good woman. I used to think a great pile of Miss Mollie Fannin, and I ruther like tho Widder Buntin. It aint none of her fault that sho is now a poor lone widder, with a whole passle of orphants to raise and nothin to go on. And she ain’t in no wise to blame for the free and reckless way in which tho old folks spout their money on her in her young days. But if old man Lot Fannin could wake up today and peep out of his grave and see his daughter Mollie as the Widder Buntin, ho mought likewise also see wherein he played the fool wh< n ho spent all his money to give her somethin that she never did raley need, and which ain’t worth a continental now. and plenty of sense. He very much, but ho said a He never wabbled around He shot to hit and most in generally plugged the bull’s eye. And 1 never have forgot, from that good day to this blessed hour, a short and power ful sermont which he preached to me oncst upon a time. “The mainest thing with poor folks, Rufus, i* to make the edges cut comin,” says ho. “Save your time as well as your money, and make the Jiggers count your way. Settle the question as to what you will do and what you will he, and then set your pegs and work out your plans accordin. If you mean to he a farmer, which I reckon you will, as it runs in the family, it would ho vanity to spend your money to g > off to college and learn everything in the high flurtin branches. It will pay you hotter to take the money you would spend for fancy book learnin and put it into a pair of good mules. Latin and algebry and history and tho like of that will do tol erable well if a hoy has got plenty of time and plenty of money to take it all in, but you can bo a good farmer and run your business to the winnin pint with out all them fancy trimmins. If you can read and write and figger through the rithmetic that will do to start on, and if you must learn any more you can pick it up on tho run. Lawyers and doc tors and school teachers have to go on up into the higher branches, as they say, but that wouldn’t stand for much with you when it comes down to rock bottom and plain business. Make tho edges cut comin, Rufus, and spend your time and money for somethin that you need in your everyday business—some thin that will fill your hand and help you in the fight.” Now then. Sot you down this. The money that people spend for hook learnin, which never will be worth a continential in the great issues of every day life, would feed all the widers and orphants in the land, and build a new school house in every settlement.

An instructive instance of What ab surdly wrong conclusions even tho best reasoners may arrive at when they build upon theory rather than practical experience is that of recent discussions about the value of seed ends in planting potatoes.

Mascagni was lately tuked in what Furopean city he would like to live, and replied: “From 9 to 11, London; from 11 to 5, Paris; from 5 to7, Vienna; from 7 to 10, Budapest, and after 10, Berlin.” The atutue of Ole Bull, which the Scandinavians of Minnesota are to erect in Minneapolis, is being modeled by Fjelde, the Scandinavian sculptor of that city.

Relegated to a little temple at Pekin,a few followersnnd the members of his numerous family gathered about him, he is, it is said by those on the spot, really shelved. His health is said to be failing and his prestige is nil. Nelson Dingley, Jr., the chairman of the committee on ways and means, never had any profession other than that of a newspaper proprietor and ed itor, creating in 20 years of hard work the most influential and widely-read paper in Maine, the Lewiston Journal. Kven now he finds time on occasions to write a leading article. Paul Louis Courier, when bitterly as sailed by a French professor, quietly re marked: “I fancy he must be vexed. He calls me ‘Jacobin, rebel, plagiarist, thief, poisoner, forger, leper, mad man, impostor, lioeler, a horrible, filthy, grimacing ragpicker.’ I gather what he wants to say. He means that he and I are not of the same opinion, and this is his only way of putting it." FASHIONS IN RINGS. In N ero’s time there was a fashion prevalent of wearing large rings, the setting of which was carved with the bust of the special divinity who was the wearer’s patron. Paradise rings were greatly worn in Italy three centuries ago. They were very wide and bore on fhe circumfer ence representations of Adam and live in the Garden of Eden. When the tomb of the groat Em peror Frederick, who died in 1250, was opened in 1780, his coronation ring, set with a beautiful emerald, was still found upon his finger. The ring of Edward the Confessor is preserved among the royal regalia of Great Britain. For several centuries it was used in the coronation cere monies of the English kings. In the Etruscan tombs of northern Italy gold rings have been found made in the shape of a cord, a large knot of intricate pattern forming the princi pal part of the ornament. Mourning rings were greatly used in Europe during the 17th century. After the execution of Charles I. his sym pathizers in England wore mourning rings in token of their grief. The scarabaeus, or sacred beetle of the Egyptians, was a favorite subject for a setting in the early Egyptian rings. It was carved in stone, the work oftea being exquisitely done. UNO* EPHRAIM’S WISDOM. ^Ttfr **• NORMAL GROWTH OF WHOLE POTATO, that tho sprouts here will bo numerous and crowded, and therefore weak, and that the result of seed end planting will be a large lot of small tubers. But, alas for theory, and fortunately for the prac tical hut unscientific grower, writes T. Greiner to Country Gentleman, nature has made special provisions to guard against ill results of planting seed ends, whether alcne or with the entire potato. The sprouts here do not all develop, by any means. Usually there is one sprout in advance of all others, and this will not only be the earliest but also tho strongest o’ all the potato will ever de velop. It shows :he earliest, writes this well known authority, because it is tho most vigorous to begin with, and it remains in the lead because it has the first pick of and fr.ee access to the prepared plant food in the tuber. If this sprout is left intact, it may possibly be the only one that starts from the seed end and not infrequently the only one from the potato where it is planted whole. In most cases a few more sprouts will grow, hut these are the best of all that could possibly be produced. “There can be no doubt that nature intended the seed end to furnish the sprouts, and that the other eyes are only reserve buds to be called on for growth in case the first and more valuable ones on the seed end. for some cause or other, are lost.’’ Tho normal growth of a whole potato is shown in accompanying illustration, Fig. 1. This is not a fancy sketch. The Early Ohios which Mr Greiner used for his first planting, and which were placed singly in plats, seed end up, under the greenhouse benches, to “green' and sprout, look at planting time as like tin* illustrated specimen as one egg looks like another. Sometimes one finds smallish tubers that have grown on the stalk above ground. These usually show sprouts at the seed cud, but nowhere else This is one more proof, he thinks, that growth was nat urally intended to start fiom the seed end He says The simultaneous development of sprouts from the eyes all over tho pota to, such as shown in Fig 3. is an ah normal development, resulting usually from a general weakening of tho seed tuber, in consequence of loss of tho first sprouts or of other abnormal conditions These are facts which any practical po tato grower can observe for himself Mr. Greiner expresses surprise at the advice sometimes given “to cut off the seed end " Ho would soomu cut off the V? .5EED EnD Fig ?• GROWTH OF WKAKENKU SEED TUBER stem ends and throw these away than the seed ends. Another point to which attention is called is that “some eyes noarei the stem occasionally refuse to grow. They remain dormant, oven if cut and planted singly.” A I'livveri nl short ••Sermont.” My good old grandfather (may bia tribe iuuruuao loruvurj wan a maft Ot “Dah ain’t no heahaftah, chile—dc prlsint am etahnal. “Yo* termorrah am tol’able safe ef jo* libs terday ez cf yo’ wan’t er gwine ter hab none. “Hit am er ma’v’lis t’ing how brazen- lak some o’ we uns kin look er good reserlooshin in de face w’ile we’s er aina«hin' hit all ter tlindahs. “De man w’at nebbah leches han’ ter ahubbel am de man ut meks de mos’ reroa’k* erbout de comiishiu oh he neighbah’s sidewalks. “Hit am er ha’d t’ing ter be cz ’dus- tri’a w’en de stockin' am done filled up ez w’en we’a er fightin’ oh de wolf fum de do’, but I don’t know no uddah way ob keepin’ de stockin’ full. *T’a er winkin' hit didn’t tax de faith ob some ob yo* niggahs s’ much ter he es good ter de Lawd ez yo’ is ter de pa’- Sugar Cano In Florida. lu his recent report Commissioner Wombwell says; Investigations extending over the greater portion of the present year, with a view of ascertaining with some degree of certainty the relative adaptability of the soils of Florida to sugar culture, as compared with lands of other sections of tho south, have been made, and tho fact satisfactorily demonstrated that tho juice from sugar cane grown upon the sandy soils of this state contains a high er percentage of sacchurino matter and a proportionate lesser amount of glu- eoso than that grown upon the lands of any other state in the cane producing region The yield per acre and tho cost of production arc both very largely in favor of our state. The same remarks apply with equal force as to investiga tion and results in tho case of ramie production. Until the present season chinch bugs have been unknown in Ohio. It was a goodly company and a bounte ous feast. While enjoying both wo dis- | sussed the affairs of the nation in a philo sophic mood, and in a temperate, c.insid- erate manner expressed our opinions of men and measures—noting the dilT renees that honestly possessed each different guest, 1 ventured to a-k a question that I each might answer. Who is the greatest Ainerie in, living or dead, of the last half century? It would he surprising to hear 1 the answers to this question in any little | coterie of intelligent, well educated gentle- ' men. Almost every man has his idol whom ho worships or admires, not with- ! out reason, hut with more regard than is justly due. We are drifted into channels af thought by circumstances, by surround ings, by heredity. We become the creat ures of prejudice, both in polities and religion. This is human nature and there j is nothing wrong about it when it is kept ( within bounds of toleration for the opin- ! ions of others. Only the intolerant get I up discord. “Who is tin* greatest man?” I asked, j “Grover Cleveland,” said Mr. Fite. “Bob j Toombs and Gen. Grant," said Mr. Jar- i rail. “Dr. Atticus Haygoml." said Judge | Akin, promptly. “Jefferson Davis," said Mr. Carey. “Ah, there now." they all re sponded. "Of course—of course, Jefferson ' Davis was tho greatest man—the very greatest man.” When t was called to re spond I said: “None of you are old enough to have seen die greatest man, but 1 saw him when I was a lad. and he put Ids hand upon my head and said kind and tender words to me. IB* was pass ing through our town and my father ‘ook me to tho hotel that 1 might see the greatest and best man in the nation, as ho called him. It may he that his licne- iietion upon me has had something to do with my hero worship, my idolatry, hut my occasional pi nisal of Ids biography ind his speeches have confirmed n.o in my opinions. IB* has been dead forty-five years, but 1 still believe that John (’. Calhoun was tho groatost man. He was the model upon which Jefferson Davis built Ids own great character." Now. see how our little party differed and their differences can he traced to some collateral iulluciircs. Emory College and John Wesley Methodism had some thing to do with Judge John Wesley Akin’s idolatry. 1 suspect that Ids second ■'hoiee would he Judge Bleckley, whom he loves to speak of. He vi-iinl Judge Bleckley at Clarkesville not long ago and listened eagerly as he discoursed of Ids *arly life. "My mother,” said he, "was not an educated woman. In fact, she was homely. 1 never saw her look beauti ful hut once, only once, ami that was when she was dead and was shrouded for the coffin. Sin* looked like an angel ■deeping there, and 1 wept great tears of •sorrow. My heart was almost breaking, for she had l«*on such si dear, good moth er to nio." Tho Judge paused long enough to wipe the tears that came from his cavernous eyes and to recover his wonted speech. "But. my friend, her life and her religion was nil eoiieontr.il d in one beau tiful word, the most beautiful in our lau- znage. and that is duty- -duty. There is no greatness that is really great without it. My dear mother's daily life, thought and .iced was one of duty—duty to God and her family and neighbors. She never spoke of it nor boasted of it. hut she acted it ami we saw it and loved her—yes, we loved every feature of her sweet and homely face, i do not owe sill to her, hut ( do owe the hotter part—yes. all that is tender and loving and true.” Mr. Jnrrall spoke of Gen. Grant’s great ness as a military commander and his magnanimity toward us after we wore 2onqucrcd. In that was the heroism of ais character. Then lu* spoke of Toombs’ wonderful gifts as an orator and states man and patriot, but lamented that for so long a time he failed to set a high moral example to the young men of the State. After he had joined the church he )ceasionally was overcome by tempta tion—liis besetting desire for stimulant, snd in all seriousness In* spoke of it to Bishop I’on roe. his life-long friend, and wanted a theological explanation. “Now, George.” said he. “if I am reallv converted, why is it that I crave whiski »nd why is it that I can’t resist the de- fire. It seems to me that a true Christian should havo no unholy desires. Maybe I »rn not converted.” Mr. Fite is an office-holder and an of- ice-seeker. both of which are honorable ;o all honorable men, and he has been following old Grover so l<nig that In* will jot forsake him now. Mr. Carey is not troubled much with present politics. Hi deal is dead and lu* loves to worship at lis shrine. There are many of his mind. )ut they make but little noise in the noisy vorld. “I, too. love to worship there, and at Mr. Calhoun’s, too. I love to read what •he great men. his rivals, said about Mr. “alhoun when it was announced *!> the Senate that he was dead. Mr. Webster ■aid: "He was a man of great genius md commanding talent. All the world idniits that. When lu* last addressed us we could imagine that we saw before us a Senator from Rome win n Rome survived, [lis high character was one of unimpeach- *d honor and unspotted integrity. 1 do lot believe he ever hud a selfish motive >r selfish feeling.” Henry Clay said: ‘His genius was of the very highest or- ler and the charm of his presence and lis powers were felt by all who conversed ivith him.” Edward Even tt said: “Cal- loun. Clay and W bsterl I name them n their proper order, t he great thinker, he great leader, the great orator.” Duty, jutriotn- duly, was his lifo work. I've jeen wondering what In* had to do with he Monroe dootrin ?. He was Monroe’s Secretary of State when it was enunciat- fd, and I reckon was its inspiration. But ifter all, Mr. Calhoun’s most lovable (ualities were seen in his private life as tusbnud, father, friend and neighbor, in ill these he was pure and without re proach. What more need be said of him? f wished to say this much in justification if my idolatry. 1 have boon to Fort Hill, vhere In* usi d to live, and sat at the great able that was made of walnut taken from ’he tlooks in hfs library and looked at th» eautifnl paintings in his picture cilery.
