DESOLATE CITY IS NISHAPUR

Hmm «f Wrßer of the Rubaiyat One •f the Most Forbiddinf Spots £ on Earth. The isolated city of Nlshapur, in Persia, was the home of the Persian best known of all his nation to the western world —Omar, surnamed Khayyam, or the Tentmaker, author of the Rubaiyat. The poet fir stilt one of the great historic figures in his Sit 5 clent dtjy, but he is remembered there not as a poet or a tentmaker but as a eage, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician. Nlshapur lies in a barren upland plain, many days’ overland journey from the nearest railroad point. It is encircled by mountains, most of which aiM' lew and barren. The northern range, however, rises to a considerable height, and through many months of the year its peaks are white with snow. The lower ©slopes have a curious reddish tint, due to iron in the earth, so that rare and delicate color combinations are formed at dawn and twilight Looking southward from his city, Omar saw a level, featureless plain, depressingly treeless, save for . here and there a clump of slender poplars. The winter turned it to a lifeless gray; in the summer, pitiless sunlight and choking dust tormented the eyes. Only for a brief spring season did the fresh green of growing crops, the cool mists that rose after the early rains and the rainbow gleams of pale color from the mountains lend the vista a melancholy charm. Beyond the plain rose another row of low hills, and beyond that, he knew, stretched the endless desert. Each year a few weeks of joy and beauty; between mountain ’ and desert a few miles of half kindly' man-tilled earth —bits of respite that hardly broke the hostile round of nature —it Is easier to understand the defiant pessimism of the Rubaiyat after seeing Nlshapur.

GREAT POETS LIFE UNHAPPY

John Milton, Wonderfully Gifted Intellectually, Was Yet a Man of Many Sorrow*. The great English poet, Milton, is described at the age of sixteen as “scholarly, accomplished and as handsome a youth as St. Paul’s had sent forth.” That was at the age when, having finished preparatory school, he was ready for the university. He was born on Broad street, London. His father was a man of education, with a decided talent for music. Milton inherited ali bis esthetic qualities —Indeed, the rougher element at college called him “the lady," though all recognized his intellectuality. Even at that period, long before he was twenty, he contemplated writing the great “Paradise Lost,” which was not finished, it happened, for forty years. During that long lapse of time Milton had started his reputation by the twin poems, “D Penseroso” and “L’Allegro;” had married a mere child of seventeen —an unhappy marriage, as It turned out; had written some stirring pamphlets; had almost been killed for opposing 1 the leading politics; had married and been left a widower again; had lost his sight; had found the three neglected children of his first marriage not model daughters; had lived in terrible loneliness in spite of his great fame, and had been persuaded to marry a third time, for the sake of being looked after. He was an old man when the great “Paradise Lost” appeared, which is called “one of the few monumental works of the world,” and his death followed some ten years later.

How Testi Repulsed Wore.

Many famous singers were pupils of Tostl. During one of the busiest of his mornings, when he had a long, list of singing lessons to get through, a knock came at the door of his flat. His valet being ill, Tostl went to the door himself. A lady, strange to him, stood on the threshold. “Signor Tostl?” she inquired. Tostl bowed. “Oh,” said the lady, "I am singing your song, *My Memories,* at Manchester tonight, and I want you kindly to run through It with me." “Madam.” answered Tostl, politely but flrmly, “I fear It Is impossible. I have two pupils with me now, and a third is waiting In the anteroom, while others will arrive shortly.” “But you must,” the lady persisted. “I am sorry—” began Tostl again, when he suddenly received a violent push backwards, and the lady walked into the studio. Tostl followed, protesting. After a long argument, which threatened every moment to become heated, the lady snapped out: “Very wfell, then, I shan’t sing your song.” “Madam,” said Tostl, taking her by the hand, “I am Infinitely obliged to you." The lady gave him one look and fled. .

St. Brice and Football.

In November is the festival of St Brice, who may be called the. patron saint of football players, not alone because his feast day comes during the season of the gridiron game, but for quite another reason. St Brice’s day was long generally observed In England, and In the year 1002 the celebration took the form of a general massacre of the Danes. It was on that day, according to tradition, that the Enfr lish game of football was Invented, with the head of a Dane as the bait St Brice, of course, was not responsible for either the massacre or the football game, having died some six centuries before. He was a bishop of Tours and lived m the fifth century.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. Corn Program Popular. A preliminary canvas of the county indicates a healthy interest in the corn improvement program adopted by the corn breeders of the county at their meeting last month. Of the six lines of work incorporated in this program, the establishment of special corn breeding plots seems the most popular. These are created by planting 20 of the best seed ears in a place by themselves in the field. At seed gathering time, the better plants are segregated and the 'best ears are most easily found. The corn disease conrtol work, as outlined by Dr. Hoffer, is next in popularity. A great deal has been learned in the experimental plans as to the control of corn diseases, and this work is determined whether or not this information may be applied successfully in the field. . Considerable interest is also being shown in regard to the variety triafe. “If your corn men carry out tne program that they have outlined, they will be doing more to improve corn production than any other organization in the state,” is the verdict of E. C. Troyer, who has been helping in the matter and it looks aS if the program would be carried out. Shorthorn Men Have Order. An inquiry has comb to John sK. Parkison, secretary of the County Shorthorn Association, for 30 registered Shorthorn yearling bulls to be shipped to Virginia. A number of orders have come in the past but as most of the members were buying rather than selling, no large order has ever been filled. Mr. Parkison asks all Shorthorn men who have bulls for sale to communicate with him at once as he is-desirous of taking care of the inquiry if possible and establishing a market for the surplus animals. Grain Disease Control. While the practise of treating seed grains to prevent diseases is becoming so well established in the locality that further encouragement may not be necessary, this is such a fine season of the year to do the work that it may not be amiss to mention it Druggists report that last year over five times as much formaldehyde was sold for this purpose as the preceding year. Results have already spoken for themselves in preventing loss from smut and the farmer who treats his seed has ample assurance against the unusually bad season which comes now and then. A day spent now in treating seed oats by the dry method likely will be one of the most profitable spent during the year. Time for Liming Short. The winter months afford the most practical season for the hauling of ground limestone for agricultural purposes The season is advancing and orders should be placed with dealers at once if the material is to be obtained in time for applications to the small grains. Farmers generally appreciate the need of this material and are willing to use it if distribution is simplified. The simplest way of solving the problems is for every fanner who wants Lime to order it from his dealer at once so that the dealer fill the orders and bring in the material before spring work starts. What Feed for Hogs? Home grown crops and their unmixed bi-products are the cheapest and best feed that can be secured or bogs, according to the statement of Dean J. H. Skinner in a talk on tins subject last week. He stated that a long series of experiments had forced him to this conclusion and that from the standpoint of economy ,of no combination has ever excelled corn and tankage for fattening hogs supplemented with shorts and middlings for brood sows and young pigs. State Farmers’ Organisation Formed. P. H. Hauter j-epresented Jasper county at a meeting held in Lafayette last week to consider the organization of a state organization of farmers. It was decided at the meeting to form an organization for the advancement of the farmers’ interests, the study of the cost of production of farm products and to promote better understandings between country and city. In localities such as Jasper county, where everyone appreciated the direct dependency upon farming conations such an organization should be received very cordially. Miss Jordan Will Speak at Home Economics Banquet. The Rensselaer Home Economics Club will hold their annual banquet Saturday, Feb. 1, at the home of Mrs. Rice Porter in Rensselaer. Miss Nettie Jordan, who has just returned from France as a Red Cross nurse, will address the members of the club in the afternoon. Mince Meat.

Hammond, of Rensselaer: Beef 1 lb., pork l ib., apples 1 pk., apple juice 1 qt, sugar 5 c., raisins 4 c., vinegar 1 c., 2 oranges juice and rind, 2 t cloves, 2 t cinnamon, 2 t aUspiee; salt to taste; water to make desired thickness.
