Beauty Dreaded Old Age.
Since the death of Empress Eliza-
beth of Austria many stories have
been told of her eccentric tastes
and deeds. I.ike the great Eliza-
beth of England, she was sensitive
about her personal appearane, and
regretted the ravages of time to
more than the ordinary digrees.
Her passion for violent riding and
long, very quick walks were con-
nected with “her great dread of be-
coming stout. She had brought
on her recent ill health by the rig- i development of ihe power which it
What Socialism Is.

The abolition of that individual
action on which modern soc:eties
depend, and the substitution of a
regulated system of co-operative
action.—Imperial Dictionary.

A science of reconstructing so-

substituting the principle of associa-
tion for that of competition in every
branch of human industry.—Wor-
cester’s Dictionary.
Any theory or system of local
organization which would abolish
entirely, oq in great part, the indi
vidual effort and competition on
wh.ch modern society rests, substi
tute co-operation; would introduce
a more perfect and equal distribu
ion of the products of labor, and
would make land and capital, as
the instruments of production, the
joint possession of the community.
—Century Dictionary.

Socialism is an endeavor to sub-
stitute for the anarchist struggle or
fight for existence an organized co-
operation lor existence. It is also
a distinct historical theory which
accounts for the progress of man in
society by his command over lhe
orces ot nature by the economical
idity with which she dieted herself
in order to avoid adding to her
weight. Although she was rathei
tall she made a point of weighing
less than seven stone, and would
practically starve herself for some
time if she turned the scale of the
weighing machine, that always
stood in her bedroom, at anything
beyond that figure. This in her
case has produced the anemia that
was the direct cause of the disorder
of the heart tor which she had late
ly been treated. The warning
should be taken to heart; while ex
ercise and judicious care in diei
can do a great deal in keeping
down superfluous fl;sh, the starv-
ing treatment is very dangerous,
and any sort of dieting should on-
ly be undertaken wi :h medical su
pervision, not in the first place but
throughout in course. I he unlor

V-.-th, jforbsde her portr'r-o* m be

refused to look in a mirror, but sin
had the responsibilities of a queen
regent, and could not seclude her-
self aged from the eyes of In r cour-
tiers as the modern monarch did.
It is a curious example of the irony

the absolute destruction of every

the form of a coin, showing her ve-

a “nutcracker" nose and chin, hol-
low cheeks and sunken eyes. The
only example of the coin, I believe,
is the specimen now on show in
that moat prominent position.

A little boy in a neighboring town
was required to write an essay the
other day. “The Newspaper” was
his subject and here is the result:
“I don’t know how newspapers
came to be in the world. I don’t
think God does, for he hain’t got
nothing to sav ’bout them, and ‘ed-
itor’ is not in the Bible. I think

the factory—evidently the ulterior
purpose of these round bale people.
This consummation will, it can be
seen, when effected, place the
handling of the cotton crop of the
United States in the hands of one
or two round bale companies, and
the consequences to the South can
bn better imagined than described.
With the square bale run out, the
competition in handling the crop
wiped out and the millions invested
in the old time gins and presses
destroyed, the planters would be at
the mercy of a monopoly strong
enough to fix whatever price it
pleased for cotton and then to hold
the crop long enough to exact from
the mills its own figures. In a
word, the cylindrical bale company
will, after having its gin accepted
and its package enforced, be abso-
lute masters of the situation.
What will become of the plant-
ers’ interest? The New Orleans
Times-Democrat asks: Will the
planter not be entirely helpless be-
fore this huge corporation, and
would he not be compelled to take
whatever the corporation was dis-
posed to give? There would be no
competition, and Senator McEnery
of Louisiana declares that the fos-
tering of the cylindrical bale means
the fostering of one of the largest
trusts ever conceived by the mind
of man and the driving out of the
cotton factors, exporters and press-
men!
Unfortunately, for ultimately,
even that fact must prove a mis-
fortune, because the basis for a
gigantic trust, the present advanta-
ges and saving with the round bale
are considerable. This new com-
pany undoubtely has good argu-
ment for its method of ginning and
baling cotton. It it that fact that
makes it so dangerous and that will
enable it, together with the millions
hark of it. to obtain a monopoly.
The question at once addresses
itself to an intelligent public and
lawmakers, whether a few present
advantages should permit (he des-
inevitably and at once be with-
drawn and the South, with all its
vast business interest, which are ab-
solutely dependent on cotton would

Dr. Milts’ Nervine is the best of

just as it is the best remedy for all
other weaknesses and disorders of
the nervous system. It attacks the
minute germs of impurity clustered
in the blood and thoroughly routs
them out of every hidden corner of
the body.
“I was extremely nervous and
although I doctored with several
physicians I could not gain strength.
My nerves became so completely
unstrung that I could scarcely sleep

bottles I was completely restored

Under the head >*A New Crop for
Farmers,’ ’ the Iowa State .Register
ays before its agricultural readers
some f ids brought out at Kansas
.late experiment station concerning
the soy bean. There is evidently
something in the bean for Texas
Danners. Ihe Kansas expeiimcnt
I station has been growing the so\
bean for the past ten years, and
.darting with a small patch, the area
has been increased each year until
now the tract of land devoted to
this crop includes thirty five acres.
Ihe experiment station tried the
bean in fattening swine, using it as
a meal mixed with Kaffir corn, and
the results were veiy satisfactory.
In a bulletin just issued by the sta-
tion the experiment is described as
follows:

Kansas station reports an in-

bushels per acre in the yield wheie

as late as July 1. The ground
should be in good tilth, and the
weeds thoroughly killed just be-

rows thirty-two or forty two inches
apart, dropping seeds two inches
apart in the row. One-half bushel
of seed per acre is required. Cul-

The beans may be feu whole or

It will be noted that the bean
does best in a warm climate. It
does not appear that the raising and
gathering of the crop is any more
expensive than for other ordinary
crops. Texas farmers may find in
the soy bean something to encour-
age them in increasing the fruits
and benefits of diversification.
