WHY YOUNG FOLKS
FLOCK TO CITIES.
Indianapolis, Ind., —The reason
that young men and women in
the south are flocking from the
farms to the cities is not why
they dislike field and stream, but
that the cities offer so much great
er opportunities for all degrees of
culture.
This was the opinion expressed
by Samuel E. Weber, state in
spector of high schools of Louis
iana, before the department of
superintendency of the National
Educational Association. The j
enormous hoard of potential
wealth in the thousands of acres of
uncultivated land in the south is
to be realized through extension
of the rural school system, Mr.
Weber said.
He did not regard the establish
ment of state agricultural schools i
of so much importance as the in
stitution of agricultural courses
in the local schools, where the
children of the immediate planta
tions, while studying scientfic
i methods of developing the land
at their command, can at once
gain acquaintance with those arts
of conversation that brighten life
and that are now eagerly sought
in the cities.
Improvement of the rural
schools, Mr. Weber also believed,
would solve the problems of the
idle negro in the south.
W. T. JONES GIVEN LIFE TERM.
Columbia, S. C., —For the mur
der of his wife, W. T. Jones, the'
wealthy Union county farmer,
will have to serve the remainder
of his days in the state peniten
tiary, the supreme court handing
down a decision in which the
judgment of the circuit court is
affirmed.
Jones was convicted two years
ago on the charge of poisoning his
wife, and has since been in the
Union county jail. His wife was
prominently connected. Jones,
it is said, has made the statement
that he will commit suicide before
he will enter the penitentiary on
a life sentence. He is reputed to
be worth over SIOO,OOO. Since
his imprisonment he has run his
farm with the aid of his 16-year
old boy, who has been a 6trong
believer in his father.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1910
MILLIONS IN GOLD
UNDER FROZEN EARTH.
A graphic picture of Alaska,
with her millions in gold lying
hidden beneath hundreds of feet
of frozen earth, was drawn by
Delegate James Wickersham in a
■ statement before the house com
mittee oil territories, in support
of a bill for the revision of the
Alaskan mining laws.
He told of tlie luck of the pio
neer prospector and of his pathet
ic failures; the crudeness and the
inadequacy of the mining laws in
that territory, and of the fre
quent resort to the ritle and pis
l tol—even the occasional suni
! mary punishment of violators by
I the rougher code of the hang
i man’s noose.
j “There is not a feature of the
mining ot the territory,” said
Mr. Wickersham, “but that is
now open to litigation.
“Our claim to every acre of
mining ground there is held by a
rope of sand.
“Alaska has always paid her
' way. She has never asked any
] think of Uncle Sam. Last year
j she sent to him $20,000,000 iu
virgin gold, and her trade -with
the United States was worth SOO,-
000,000.”
IMMIGRANTS SENT
SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND.
j Washington,-D. C.—More than
12,300 persons throughout the
j United States are engaged in what
j amounts to an unregulated bank
ling business almost, entirely out-;
: side of legal control, their custo
| mers being wholly immigrant
laborers who for the most part
Ido not speak English, according
jto a report on immigrant banks
I transmitted to the senate by
i Senator Dillingham, of Ver
mont, chairman of the immigra
tion commission.
The report shows that the only
states which have established any
effective control of the immigrant
banking business of Massachusetts
and New Jersey. The bankers are
mostly steamship agents, labor
agents, saloon keepers, grocers or
boarding house agents.
The total amount annually j
seat aboard on behalf of the im
migrants is stated at $70,000,000.
The immigrant bankers annually
handle hundreds of millions of
dollars.
DON’TS FOR THE KITCHEN
Don’t boil milk for colic. Scald
it.
Don’t serve mashed potatoes
with mutton or chicken. Reserve
them for beef.
Don’t make bread into large
loaves. The center is apt to be
underdone and spoil easily.
Don’t salt meat before tin*
cooking. Add it after the meat
is cooked or when nearly done.
Don’t allow graniteware to dry
over a hot fire. The iron expands,
chipping off the entire outside.
Don’t boil meat at a gallop.
| Boil five minutes, then cook it at
a temperature of 160 degrees
Fahrenheit.
I
Don’t use steel knives for cut
ting fish, oysters, sweetbreads, or
• brains. The steel blackens and
gives an unpleasant flavor.
Don’t save cold coffee in Un
pot in which it was made. Draw
it off and put it in a jar; cover
and reheat it quickly at serving
< time.
Don’t fill the teakettle the night
before. Fill it with fresh water;
in the morning, bring it to the]
boiling point and then use it at
once.
Don’t put tablecloths and nap
kins that are fruitstained info hot
soapsuds; it sets or fixes the stains
I Remove the stains with diluted
(oxalic acid, washing quickly in
[dear water.
Don’t allow your marketing to
stand in the kitchen ; put it away
at once. Meats frequently be
come heated and quickly spoil.
Don’t scrub your refrigerator
with warm water. W’hen necessary
sponge out quickly with two
! ounces of formaldehyde in two
quarts of cold water.
i
Don’t clutter up the kitchen
when getting a meal, because it
.will take hours to “clean up”
jalter the meal is over.—Ex.

THE ORIGIN OF KISSING.
Almost everything of value has
had its beginingin the far East.
There, save the Washington Post,
civilization started ; there govern
ment was first established; there
religion, philosophy and poetry
! were born; and printimr, gunpow
der, and the mariner’s compass
were there given to mankind. Now
comes a learned professor from
Vale, who tells of still another
claim which the East has on us !
j for undying admiration and grat
| itude. I Lis profound ethnologi
cal studies and investigation into
| the social customs of bygone ages
| disclose the fact that kissing was
| discovered in India, lie Inis uii
j earthed an epic poem of ancient
| India which treats of love and
; which tells of the first, kiss, it
was, needless to say,the invention
of lovely woman. The poet says
“she laid her mouth to my mouth
and made a noise which gave me
pleasure.” There we have it oorn-
I plot.:!-—the culmination of long
; ages of yearning of something un
defined and unrealized, given life
| by the genius of a woman inspired
by love, and coming into being
like Minerva from the head of
Jove, full grown from her lips.
Other tilings born into the world
have been added to And improved
on in the course of time, or have
grown stale and have been Hung
aside. The kiss remains as airy
and evanescent, as impalpable
and elusive, as blissful and in
effable, as precious to man as the
first one those long ages ago,when
the Indian maiden laid her mouth
to her lover’s and he responded
\ / '
with a thrill of pleasure to the
j new-horn caress. The professor
| does not tell us the maiden’s
] name. If it is known, it should
]be disclosed, that she may con e
I into fame and gratitude which
i she deserves. What other bene
factor to the race on so large a
j scale, reaching all mankind
through all the generations yet to
he, remains unknown and nn
l celebrated? It is a theme for poets
and artists —that first kiss. Mon
i uments have become common
place, but the benefaction of Un
loving maiden should be corn
i memorated. When her name is
revealed Jet it be taught to chil
dren, that it may be taken upon
j
! their lips in grateful memory
when they glow with the ecstacy ;
of the first kiss and breathe the
j happiness of love.—Ex.
