Cultivate every week, also after every rain. Corn should be thinned to a stand by tho time it gets 12 Inches high In or der to avoid the useless waste of plant food that goes Into tho extra plants. A custom that Is prevalent in many parts of Georgia, Is to do this thinning when tho soil Is too wet for any other kind of work. This is a bad custom and should bo avoided If possible. Better results are had when corn Is thinned to one Htalk in u hill In con trast to leaving two or more stalks per hill at a greater distance in the row. Tho width of the rows should be determined by the fertility of tho land. "The richer the soli tho narrower the rows,” Is a very good rule to follow. If the soil is very fertile the plants should, of course, be left thicker in the drill. American Theatrical History.

This Inquiry, however, has no concern with the subject of my work, for a perfect orator can t>e formed only with the aid of both, hut I think It of great impor tance how far we consider that there Is a question on the point If you suppose either to he In dependent of the other nature will he able to' do much with out learning, hut learning will he of no avail without the as sistance of nature. But if they he united In equal parts 1 shall l>e Inclined to think that when hoth are hut moderate the ln fluence of nature is nevertheless the greater, but finished orators, 1 consider, owe more to learning than to nature. Thus the best husbandman cannot Improve soil of no fertility, while from fer tile ground something good will ho produced even without the aid of the husbandman. Yet if the husbandman bestows his la bor on rich land he will produce more effect than the goodness of the soul Itself. —Quintilian. REFORMS IN AMERICA. One of tho superstitions of America is that all reforms will proceed from education; there fore there is n prospect of early development of the educational system, giving equal educational opportunities to all. This is the alleged ideal of America today. It is defeated by the exactions of the Industrial system, dis criminations against nice and sex and the early materialistic Ideal of culture. These give promise of being transformed be fore many more fundamental so cial changes take place. Our hu manitarian tendencies will lead us to provide for defectives and dependents more scientifically than we do today. Leniency to first offenders, n generous parole system, the employment of pris oners and the payment of their wages to their families, will transform the penal system. De fectives are treated scientifically In many parts of the country, and the study of eugenics has not only begun, but has led to significant applications In many of our states. The great depend ent classes for which no pro vision hus as yet boon made are the two kinds of unemployed, the Jobless worker and the subsi dized parasite. Employment agencies and a Just system of taxation will tend to eliminate those.—Professor Charles Zueb- Un. AS TO DYING.

Tis the pearly shell That murmurs of the faroff mur muring sea. A precious jewel carved most curiously. It is a little picture painted well. What is a sonnet? ’Tis the tear that fell From a great poet's hidden ec stasy, A two edged sword, a song, a star—ah. me. Sometimes a heavy tolling fuDer al bell. This was the flame that shook with Dante's breath. That solemn o.gan whereon Mil ton played And the clear glass where Shakespeare's shadow falls. A sea this is—beware who ven turethl For, like a fiord, the narrow floor is laid Midocean deep to the sheer mountain walls. —Richard Watson Gilder.

"The common cold Is a priv ilege enjoyed almost wholly by civilized man," says the Medi cal Times. Superheated rooms, keeping out fresh air, especial ly from the bedrcom, improper clothing and improper feeding, with the germ as the transmit ter from one favorable soil to another, are the causes given fer the popular ailment of civ ilization. Both overeating and eating the wrong kinds of food are enormous factors in catarrh production. "He who over feeds,” says the editor quoted, “Is likely to catch cold, and his cold is likely to become chronic." This agrees with the statement in a recent Hint that a cold is caught at tho dining table, making due allowance for the minor factors. .To main tain a healthy action of the skin Is a prime condition in the avoidance of colds, and the best way to do this Is to take a warm bath once a week and a cold “towel bath,” rubbing the skin thoroughly, every morning, carefully avoiding un due chilling, especially In be ginning the practice.

The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability. V.'e arc frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain or. the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 33 Corput St. Atlanta Ga., writes: "l have on several occasions been vastly relieved by the use of your med icines. especially the Anti-Pain Pills, which I keep constantly on haigl for the use of myself, husband and two sons.
