The question whether suicide is a sin may be left to the theologi ans and casuists; but that it is a fatuous, crazy or craven proceed ing the news of every day supplies proof. Yesterday the telegraph report- 1 the aelf-shooling of a man at Altoona, Pit., because he “couldn’t stand the horrible, gloomy weath er.” If had waited one day more he would have seen the glorious sunshine again—and within a month might have been grumbling at a drought. • Ou the same day a silly little girl of sixteen killed herself be cause she couldn't see her sweet heart every night. Rix months hence she would probably have been ready to exchange him for a new one; at any rate she will never see him more. In a western city the other day t wo bank officials who had been detected in embezzlement killed themselves after writing maudlin letters to the wives and children whom they left to bear the burden of disgrace and to work for sup port alone. Was not; this un pardonable cowardice and selfish shirking. Not a day passes that some man does not kill himself for what he thinks is “love,” but which is really a peevish and ego tistical disappointment . . . as not . , be ing able to “have” one woman out of a million. Frequently he puts a climax on the tragedy by killing also the object- of his fan cy. What would be thought of a fisherman who drowned himself because one finnev wanderer got away? Are there not “as good fish in the sea as ever caught?” There may be in this world troubles so great or sorrows so crushing that escape from them by the short cut-of suicide presents itself as a temptation. But it is usually a folly, generally a mis take, and always an experiment that can be neither recalled nor repented of.—New York World. t V “i rc 3 I i h f th wed<*' l It end it 100 c i >Jt \ () 1 100 ou nat J;| Emulsion < IOC •cl that mak .stomach. i r.c tried It, 6C rffc -ret sblc tee e will OWT Chemists, Wow York.

If weeds spring up, it is better to re move them by hand, since the use of the hoe maly injure such tubers as lie near the surface. The cultivator can be used between the rows to exterminate the weeds, which should bo kept out of the field The tendency of the vines, as soon as they are two or three feet long, to take root at many of the joints and thu3 propagate new tubers is well known. This should bo prevented by carefully loosening these vines from the soil either by hand or with a wide fork. Eut in doing this every precaution should be used to avoid bruising the vines.—State Agricultural Department. ABOUT CORN CULTiVATIO J Some Valuable Practical Hints to the Planter.' Corn is the special crop for this March pad April. The rich, loamy soils, espe 0 itlly alaus 'the creeks and river bot toms, are best adapted for this crop, for corn needs a moisture retaining soil, so that it may be better able to withstand a drouthat the critical period of tasseling aud silking. After the soil has been deeply broken upl thoroughly pulver ized \wth harrow acSfsfcHug __“\id roller, furrows 3 to 5 f set apart, to richness of soil, should be opened with a scooter or) shovel and the grain dropped into the prepared soil. Then ou each side of the grains—not over them—should b' placed the amount of compost or barnyard manure deemed necessary, if such is' used. Then cover them over witli a double foot plop ter. If, how ever, the regular commercial fertilizer is used, wo would prefer to distribute it all along the furrow and then follow it with a plow, so that it may bethov onghly mixed with the soil before drop ping the grain Ui-st Time S'or Planting. When we consider all sections of O orgiu, the best average time for planting corn is about March 10 or 15; a little earlier in the southern counties, a little later in the extreme northern sec tion, in some parts as late as April 5 or 6 . As far as we can control such mat tot wo should secure the most favor able condition possible for the quick germination of the seed, aud for the vigorous and rapid development of the gtn.k. The corn must bo rapidly worked, and every effort must be made to prevent the springing up of grass or weeds, which, if they do appear in spite of the bos; endeavors of the farmers, must not bo eflowed to remain for any length of time. The cultivation of corn, like hat of other crops, should be largely, done before planting; and, after tlfBTfrst plowing, shallow surface cultivation only should he used, aud for this pur pose improved harrows or cultivators are needed.—State Agricultural Depart moat.
