"Well," observed old man Potts, "I've spent a heap of money on my boy Bill's education, more'n 900 jest to see him through Yale. And I ain't through yet. It shorely makes me sore to think of the money I'm wastin' on a boy who ain't got as much sense now as he had before he went to col lege." "What's the matter, father?" asked Mrs. Potts. "Mebbe you're a little hard on Bill." "No, I ain't, Mary," answered the old man. "Jest to show you a little while ago I says to him I thinks it was going to rain to-morrow. What fool answer d'ye suppose he made me?" "I'm sure I don't know, father." "He begged my pardon!" Harper's Weekly. Football vs. Prayer.

ESiO ffSlI DIRT, DARKNESS AND DISEASE, The Slogan of the First Negro Con gress en Tuberctrlcsic. Tuskegee, Alabama "Down With Dirt. Darkness and Disease" was the slogan adopted at the First Negro Congress on Tuberculosis held at Tuskegee, the third week of Decem her. The Negro's fight against tuber culosis for the sake of both races was the burden of the week's meet ings. During "Health Sunday," the open ing day of the Congress, seven meet ings were devoted wholly or in part to problems of the human body. For six successive days the entire group of nearly fifteen hundred students at tended the evening platforn meetings which included a series of stereopti con addresses having to do with var ied conditions conducive to the spread of tuberculosis and the control of the disease. "School Improvement," "Children's Gardens and Civics," "Playgrounds and Recreation," "What Churches Have Done," "Better Con ditions for the Worker and What the Worker Can Do," and "Neighborhood Improvement in Town and Country" were some of the topics illustrated by stereopticon slides. During five afternoons group meet ings were held. These brought to gether circles of earnestaninded lead ers who sought to define possibilities for themselves and their people throughout the country, for it was early decided that the results of the congress should be made as far-reach ing as possible. Doctors, teachers, church organizations, including the Young Men's Christian Association, women's clubs and other societies, business leagues and other men's as sociations, as well as the interests of the country home and school were dis cussed and plans for future work out lined. What Next? The closing conference included representation from the thirty local, state and national welfare efforts cen tering at Tuskegee. In this session the leaders sought to answer, "What are we going to do about it?" They planned a permanent tuberculosis committee at Tuskegee with similar committees at other leading Negro institutions such as Hampton and Shaw, these schools to work togeth er, each pushing the tuberculosis campaign in their immediate terri tory. The colored press of the coun try will be counted upon to spread the propaganda, and the state boards of health will be asked to supply printed imatter about the disease and the manner of living which will control its spread. Health Month. Of greatest hope is the plan for making February a "Health Month" for Negroes north and south. This New Year's effort began December 30th in a conference at Chicago where it was determined to lay plans so that during February practically every col ored church, lodge and society in Chicago will hold a meeting to con sider "Tuberculosis Among the Ne groes: What Are We Going to Do About It?" In preparation for this plan it is expected that general ad dresses upon tuberculosis this shall be given before all of those Negro organizations in Chicago which have not already been lectured upon the subject The same plan will be followed wherever any considerable number of Negroes are to be found. With January as a month of preparation, February will be a month of discus sion among these people who form so large a portion of the population in many sections. White citizens are asked to call attention to these plans and to give such encouragement as will advance this attempt of a race to free itself from the ravages of a needless disease and at the same time to serve the highest interests of both races.

OOM MRrm fyML(ffir Feed corn as the evening meal. Like the bean a man needs snap to be worth anything. The long, steady stroke is best in milking the cow. It is nearly time to think about getting the hot bed started. In all your management of the flock let it be with the aim to improve your stock. A little millet scattered in the straw will set a flock of hens to work as perhaps nothing else. Weak harnesses are a peril on the most tractable horse. They invite dis aster. Don't trust yourself with one. Never was a saying mre true that an ounce of prevention i better than a pound of cure than in the poultry business. It's a little trouble to put the tools back in place after using, but it saves lots of time when next they are wanted. None too early to begin the cam paign against the lice and mites. Be gin now and avoid the rush that is, the inrush of the pest during the sum mer time. Well-filled is not always well-fed. The hen will crowd its crop full of corn, and will put on fat. but will lay few eggs. To be well-fed means more than just plenty of it. It means those kinds of food which will go to make eggs. The farmer may get along without keeping a diary, but he ought not to try to run the farm without keeping seme kind of accounts, as to outgo and income. Too many farmers are do ing business by guesswork and not by facts. The hen cackles because she has something to advertise, and when she has properly announced the arrival of the new invoice of goods, she gets busy to do another day's business for the farmer. What would the farm be without the business hen? Do you know which crops netted you a profit last year and how much? 'Do you know what animals you fed and made money on? Of course you don't if you kept no accounts or rec ords. Quit such reckless methods. Do your farming as the business man conducts his business. Some poultrymen say: "Don't allow the flock to go out when there is snow on the ground." This is a mistake. Let the hens be the judge as to when they will go out and take the air. Open up the slide every bright day that is not too cold or windy, and the hens will go out en the snow and will go back in when comfort demands it. The young man who goes courting and spends the long evening by the warm fireside in the delightful com pany of his inamorata while his horse is hitched to the cold side of a wire fence with little or no blanketing is more than apt to show a similar thoughtless disregard for his wife aft or the glamour of the honeymoon is over. It would be a first-rate plan during the leisure of the winter days to make an inventory of all you have on the farm buildings, equipment, machin ery and stock. Know what you have. Plan how best to work the farm, and use the machinery, and you will find that there will be a larger margin between expenditures and receipts than ever before. Pennsylvania must have some aw fully good and awfully poor cows, for the average annual production per cow of the state, according to the dairy officials of the state experiment station, is 160 pounds of butter fat worth 48. Those figures mean that while there are good cows which are returning a profit, there are also very many very poor ones which are be ing maintained at an absolute loss. Try growing calla lilies this way. Place a thick layer of charcoal in the bottom of a box 15 inches square and fill with leaf mold and a little sand. Plant a calla In each corner, and In the center sink a six-inch flower-pot with the drainage hole stuffed with moss, and with a layer of charcoal above the moss. Water carefully till growth is well started, then fill tue six-inch pot once a day with water. If the lilies drink so quickly that the pot is empty before night, refill. Wash and shower the leaves weekly. Winter is the best season for dairy ing when the handling of the milk and cream is considered. Then there is an abundance of cold water and cold air, both of which are very necessary in the keeping of dairy products. After the snow comes it can be used in the water in which Ihe milk cans are sub merged. The milk should be quickly and thoroughly cooled to get the best results v.-;th the raising of the cream and the keeping-of the dairy products. Many make the mistake of cooling the milk tn about 60, when it could just as well be cooled to 40 and below, immediately after milking, the milk, where not separated, should be cooled to the point where the lactic acid fer ments can develop but slowly. ,iAVKvun Trimv-the apple trees early In the spring. . White of egg in the mustard plaster will, prevent its blistering the skin. Keep the seed corn dry. Freezing will not hurt it if it is entirely 'free from moisture. Be sure the colts get exercise dnr ing the winter. Give them a run out side every nice day. In raising colts remember that falsa economy during t o first year or two will cost you dearly later. Getting angry does not help things. It only complicates matters and plunges one into" a series of difficulties. Time to mate up the breeding pens. The rooster ought to be with the flock several weeks before using the eggs for setting. Air-slaked lime sprinkled around the cracks and crevices of the hen house make it a very uncomfortable lodging house for lice and mites. x No matter what kind of stock a farmer is handling kindness always pays. Even pigs have feelings, and appreciate kind treatment Keek a hammer in the barn where it will be handy in driving loose nails and knocking the snow balls from the horses feet when they come in off the road. Some hens, like some people, will shirk duty when they get a chance. Weed out all the star boarders. Keep the business-like hen and use her to breed from. The quick-tempered man who loses his head when handling a horse is the man who generally has a horse that gets spells, tco. Like owner, like beast to a great extent. To make the cellar a good cold storage place open at night except dur ing the severest weather, and close it during the day. Keep fruit cool, but do not let it freeze. Sort the apples frequently. To some farmers ventilation and draught are .synonymous terms. One means fresh air for the stock with out injury, and the other means fresh air with a drawback of discomfort and colds which is ruinous. Have an extra rope with a snap on one end hanging up in the rear of the horses' stalls, so that it will not be necessary to untie the rope from the manger every time jou want to lead a horse out of the barn. Here is how some folks keep sweet potatoes through the winter success fully: They wrap each potato sep arately in newspaper and place in a barrel lined with newspapers until the barrel is full, when it is well cov ered and kept in a warm, dry room. The horse is no better than the feet he stands on. For this reason look at the hoofs of the stallion you propose to use. If they are flat and other Wise defective have a care, for the chances are ten to one that the colt you get from him will have the same undesirable qualities. According to the Maryland experi ment station, a hog produces ten to fifteen pounds of solid manure per day. Hog manure is a wet, cold ma nure, and ferments slowly. Its com position, of course, varies as does any animal's, depending upon the food consumed. It is much like cow ma nure in its general character, but gen erally considered richer. More than ever do the hens need something in the way of green food. Now that you cannot give them the trimmings from the garden provide clover meal scalded and then cooled before feeding. Also give them a carrot, beet or turnip to pick at. A good way to manage the vegetables is to hang by a string from the ceil ing, just high enough so they will have to jump for them. Various remedies exist for the treat ment of scours in calves. One or two raw eggs broken into a calFs mouth have cured such cases. The feeding of uried blood in small quantities, eith rr in the milk or in the corn feed, is a good remedy when the bowels be come too loose. The feeding of kafir corn, either in the chopped heads or meal, is a good grain for feeding while the calves are drinking milk. Kafir-corn has a constipating effect which offsets the laxative tendency of the skim milk. Water the horse before, not after feeding. There is a popular idea that a warm horse should not be allowed to drink. and unlike a great many other popular ideas, there is a little truth in it. If you water a warm horse in the ordinary way, letting him drink all that he will, you are likely to have a foundered horse on your hands. This is especially so if, at the time, the horse is fatigued. Neverthe less, it is always safe to allow him from six to ten swallows, no matter how warm he is. If this be given on going into the stable and he be al lowed to stand and eat hay for an hour, and is then offered water, he will not drink nearly so much as he would had none been given before. It the matter of feeding hay to horses observe the following sugges tions if you would feed economically: Either heavy or light horses that are doing regular, steady work should not, if one wishes to feed economically, have more than one pound of hay per hundred pounds of live w-eight. That is, a thousand-pound horse should re ceive ten pounds of hay a day, and a 1,500-pound horse 15 pounds a day. A 1,500-pound horse that' is doing steady work should have about four pounds of hay with his morning feed, the same amount at noon, and about double the amount at night. Many horses will eat SO or 40 pounds of hay a day if they have free access to it If a horse is allowed to eat such quan tities, half of it is wasted, and if he is eating that amount of hay, it is worse than wasted, for it does the horse an injury. WHISKED ELIOT PROF. LOWELL TO BE PRESIDENT JOF HARVARDjUNIVERSITY. ' New Man Is 52 Years Old, Holds Chair of Science of Govern ment and Is Author of Many Book. Boston. Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell will succeed Charles W. Eliot as presi dent of Harvard university. He was nominated for the honor at a recent meeting of the Harvard corporation and President Eliot subsequently pre sented his name to the board of over seers, who confirmed the nomination. The members of the corporation were unanimous in their selection. The corporation of Harvard college is made up of President Eliot, Treas urer Adams and five fellows. Besides Prof. Lowell, the names of Wallace Clement Sabine, professor of physics, dean of the Lawrence Scien tific school and dean of the Graduate School of Applied Sciences, and Charles Homer Haskins, professor ot history, had been mentioned. Of the three Prof. Lowell is the oldest and the only Harvard alumnus. He was graduated from the academic depart ment and from the law school. Abbott Lawrence Lowell has writ ten some half dozen books bearing on national and international politics. For two years he lectured at Harvard and held a full professorship there for a third. For some years past, when the likelihood of President Eliot's ab dication has been discussed. Prof. Lowell has been invariably named as his logical successor. Prof. Lowell was born on December 13, 1856, and is two years younger than his brother, Percival Lowell, who has won many laurels in astronomy and scholarship. The Lowells were among the early settlers of New Eng land, having come to Newburyport in 1639. The sons attended Harvard col lege and traveled abroad before choos ing life occupations. Augustus Lowell, father of Har vard's prospective head, was, until within a year or two of his death on June 22, 1901, a leader in financial enterprises of Boston and New Eng land. He held positions of authority in directing the policies of the Lowell institute and the Massachusetts In- $;xm VV I Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell. stitute of Technology, besides engag ing in other kindred activities. Last year Prof. Lowell was elected president of the American Political Science association to succeed James Bryce, the British ambassador at Washington. Prof. Lowell graduated from Har vard university in 1877 and returned to study at the law school. In 1880 he began the practice of law in Bos ton. Much of his time has been devoted to literature, and he is the author of a number of books on the science of government. His most recent work, "The Government of England," has just been completed and is generally considered a masterpiece, ranking with "The American Commonwealth," by James Bryce. Among other works of Prof. Lowell are "Essays in Govern ment," 1S89; "Governments and Par ties in Continental Europe," 1S96. From 1897 to 1899 he lectured at Har vard and became professor of science and government there in 1S90. Harvard records attest that the new president was an athlete of note, par ticularly in track events. The trophy room rolls give testimony, for ex ample, that on May 19, 1S77, he won first place in the mile run at Beacon park. Six feet tall, with a wiry frame, he was considered a great runner in his day. He kept up his interest in athletics and attends all the great events. He is thought likely to have no quarrel with those who regard ath letic competition as a profitable inci dent of a collegiate career. Intercol legiate athletics, it is predicted, will have their place in student activities, under moderate checks. Gsrman Debt Steadily Growing. Since 1877 there has been only one year in which the German national debt has not been increased. It is now, according to recent official statements! $1,013,000,000 or a little more than the French indemnity. The cebt has been doubled since 1895. For the last eight years, government publications again admit expenditures have exceeded re ceipts by $471,000,000, or an average of $53,000,000 a year. The na'tional debt has already cost the country in interest and administrative expenses about $380,000,000 and yet Germany cculd have kept out of debt altogether as Professor Schanz has recently shown, if the revenues had only been increased by about $12,000,000 yearly. Family Discrimination. "Mrs. Bongtong doesn't speak to her husband in public any more." "What's the matter? Have thev quar reled?" "Not at all; but since she get an in vitation to the assembly and he didn't, he says he isn't in her set." Balti more American. Scientific.

The boss builder was standing on the edge of the great cavity at Thirty fonrth street that they have been dig ging for the past few years, when an Irishman walked toward him. "Look here," he said. "Didn't I fire you yesterday?" "Yes," said the Irishman, "and I don't want you to do it again, either. My wife gave me the devil about it when I got home." New York Times. A Fatal Breath.

"What can I do," roared the fiery orator, "when I see my country going to ruin, when I see our oppressors hands at our throats, strangling us, and the black clouds of hopelessness and despair gathering on the horizon to obliterate the golden sun of pros perity?
