In the sunshine which turns all naturo
into loveliness, writes a correspondent
In tho Agricultural Epltomlst. Farm
ing is not what It was '10 years ago;
education In the different branches of
agriculture has made it a science nnd
Its broadening Iniluonco has so effect
ually wrought a transformation in
character that the soil tillers of to-day
have left behind tho life of drudgery
through tho adopting of moro scientific
methods, and a research into the In
tricate workings of nature. No one Is
better lltted than tho farmer to pos
sess a character Upon which our na
tion may ever depend to uphold tho
laws of government and public author
ity In times of peace and make bravo
soldiers In time of war. Hero Is tho
nucleus of the power that springs from
tho heart near to nature, and Imparts
a deslro to live a patriot to his coun
try, an honor to bis State, a blessing
to his community, and a helper of his
neighbor, while engaged in one of tho
most honorable and elevating occupa
tions given to man.
Hero Is a line Idea from West Vir
ginia. Tho Agricultural Experiment
Station has entered on a practical cam
paign for tho Improvement of rural
school grounds throughout tho State.
As a starter, one school yard in each
county is to be beautified by a land
scape gardener. There will be trees,
shrubbery and flowers, and a thorough
effort to make real beauty spots of
plots that aro now unsightly. There
Isn't a more dismal appearing spot on'
earth than the averago country school
yard. Generally It Is a sizable lot,
grown up to weeds and littered with
lunch remnants, old newspapers and
other debris. In the center is a weather-beaten
building, ugly inside and out.
Its walls and smoky ceilings would be
an Incentive to suicide, if it were not
for tlie natural Jubllancy of childish
spirits. A little money, properly used,
would put the homelike touch on the.
nterlor, and make the grounds a great
garden. And it is a fact that tho chil
dren, even In tho most boisterous of
country schools, can bo interested in
tho useful life that lies outside of their
books. They will grow flowers, if they
lave a chance and an example to fol
ow. They will absorb a love for tho
icautlful, If they have the opportunity,
and It Is a thing that will make them
letter men and women. Perhaps there
was a time when a few parents would
uive sneered at these school bcautlfy
ng plans, asserting that fads were
only another name for foolishness. But
nost of Uiat folly has been educated
nut of humanity, in the city as well as
tho country,' and in future education'
Is to be made, as far as possible, a.
pleasure, and, as little, as may be, a
task. Tho West Virginia experiment is
commendable and worth watching.
According to a recently Issued census
bulletin, the real rank of cities is not
always indicated by the order in which
they stand in tho tables of population.
Some great centers have a consider
able part of their massed population
lying outside the municipal bounda
ries. Boston is a good example: about
twelve hundred thousand people live
n sight of the State House dome, and
less than six hundred thousand of
tnom are governed by tho Boston may
or. Other cities havo annexed far Into
tho farm lands of the adjacent coun-,
try. It Is customary to speak of tho
population of a State, "In proportion to
Its size." Such a comparison Is sel
dom made of cities, although it might
not bo uninteresting. Pittsburg, for ex
ample, has a population of a third of
a million on eighteen thousand acres of
round; Now York's population, Uttlo
more than ton times as great, spreads
over nearly twolvo times as many
acres. Chicago was long famous for
Its annexation habit, but since 1800
New York has annexed much more ter
ritory than Chicago's total area. Now
Orleans has a slightly larger area than
Chicago. Each of them covers six times
tho area of Baltimore. Washington,
which occupies tho Maryland part of
tho ton miles square set aside for a na
tional capital, is a falr-slzer city as
area goes, for this generation. It may
seem small a century hence, although
It looked abundantly ample for all tho
purposes of urban development when
laid out. In tho case of cities, as woll
as of other corporations, consolidation
is plainly one of tho tendencies of tho
times. More than one-third of thoso
In tho United States havo added to
tholr territory by annexation slnco
lbuo. Townships and counties are oc
casionally subdivided, by reason of lo
cal interests, but tho cities seem to bo
steadily pushing tholr boundaries out
ward. Thero aro some economic rea
sons for this, but tho reason In many
cases hns been tho deslro of their in
habitants to make n "good showing."

HINTS ON ETIUQETTE
Gentlemen do not smoke in the
prcsenco of ladies without their
permission
It is a general rule that a hostess
amy introduce any guest without
3rst asking permission to do so.
An invitation should never be ac
cepted provisionally; a deolded ac
jeptanco or declination is impera
tive. When calling a man does not offer
bis hand first but waits for the
Initative to come from his hostess.
When giving a eostunm ball the
words "Bal puodro" are engraved in
tbe lower left hand comer of the
invitation.
As an invitaion is accepted at the
time of answering sa?, "It gives me
much pleasure to accept, etc. ." not

RACE DONE?
Not a Bit of It.
A man who thought his race was run
made a food And that brought him
back to perfect health.
"One year ago I was unable to per
form any labor; in fact, I was told by
my physicians that they could do noth
ing further for me. I was fast sinking
away, for an attack of grip had left
my stomach so weak It could not digest
any food sufficient to keep me alive.
"There I was just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weaker,
really being snuffed out simply because
I could not get any nourishment from
food.
"Then my sister got after me to try
Grape-Nuts food which had done much
good for her and she finally persuaded
me, and although no other food had
done me the least bit of good my stom
ach handled the Grape-Nuts from the
lirst and this foot! supplied the nourish
ment I had needed. In three months I
was so strong I moved from Albany to
San Francisco and now on my three
meals of Grape-Nuts and cream every
day I am strong and vigorous and do
11 f teen hours work.
"I believe tho sickest person In the
world could do as I do, eat three meals
of nothing but Grape-Nuts and cream
and soon be on their feet again in the
Hush of best health like me.
"Not only am I in perfect physical
health again, but my brain Is stronger
and clearer than It ever was on tho old
diet. I hope you will write to tho
names I send you about Grape-Nuts,
for I want to seo my friends well and
strong.

FATHER OF THE KINDERGAR
TEN
The kindergarten idea was develo
ped aud given Its namo by Fredrick
Frobel, a German cducitor, onlj
about fifty years ago. Frobel had
tried his hand at almost everytblnR
and failed in all. Indeed, bis own
kindergarten was all but a failure,
though tho Idea slnco his death has
becotno Immensly popular and is
nowconceded by educatois to be tne
most original, attractive and philo
sophical form of Infant devlope
ment tho world has yet seen. Jfoehel
himself was left motherless when
an infant, his chlldhuod was lonely
and his father's second marrltco did
not increase the child's happiness.
It was not until late in life that
he began kindergarten work.
