The Country Editor.
Tho editor of a rural newspaper
occupies a unique position in tho
tields of journalism, his rival, the
city editor, may have- more re
sponsibilities and a largo scope
ot action, but ho is seldom knowi?
to tho pulbic. The country edi
tor is however known to every
body and his personality Is fami
liar to all. Ho may exert a power
ful inllucnco on tho community
through this close personal con
tact. The country editor, re
marks the Spantansburg (L'a.
Sentinel, ushers tho newly born
citizen into the wmld, watches
its progress to manhood and
womanhood, rejoices at tho happy
marriages and notes with appro
priate solemnity the exit of the
person from the plane of life's
activity. Thus the country edi
tor is kuown to all aud everybody
knows him. Tho village news
paper is tho record of commun
ity; joys and sorrows alike re
ceive tho editor's sympathy; he
admouishes when necessary,
gives praise when it is due. lie
is our advisor and guide of public
opiniou. This closo companion
ship should work lor good. The
tield of the rural newspaper is
equaled by none. Let us assist
tho country editor in his work
and his ouilding up a higher
social organization.

CREMATIONS IN ENGLAND.
There Were 855 Last Year The
Number Steadily Increasing.
The movement In favor of crema-
tloti In Kiighmd continues to make
Blow but steady progress, wrltos tho
London correspondent of tho. New
York Medical Journal. Durlnff 1009
tlie number of cremations carried out
In Great Itrltaln was S.'i.'i, nn advance
of sixty us 'omi;ired with lutiS.
Tim Hint crematorium In Knglnnd
was opened nt Woking In ISSj and
tho totsil number of cremations since
that time Is 8,121. There aro now
altogether thirteen crematoria In
Great liiitain and tills number will
probably noon bo Increased. Tho Cre
mation Society of England has been
very active In its propaganda work
and public Interest is slowly being
aroused.
Recently n cremntlon society was
formed In Edinburgh. Tho object of
tho society Is to promote the practice
of cremation and burial reform by
means of mcetiiiKM, lectures and pub
lications or otherwise Thero aro al
ready about ISO members, Including
niuny well known persons.
Little Worlds.
The discovery of asteroids or hitnor
planets, continues to be made with
the aid afforded by celestial photo
graphy. Among a vast multitude, ot
stars crowding a photographic plato,
one, .perhaps, will bo seen to hnvo
drawn a short, thin lino on tho plato
during Its hours of continuous ex
posure. The astronomer knows at
onco that It Is either nn asteroid or
a comet. Subsequent observations
soon decldo tho point Only tho
more Interesting ones are nfterward
observed with attention; but, once
discovered, they cannot bo Ignored,
and the rapid growth of the flock be
comes nn embarrassment. Eros, which
at times approaches tho earth nearer
than any other regular member of the
solar system except the moon, and
Asteroid No. 5CS, which nt nphellon
Is more distant thnn Jupiter, remain,
ns far as their orbits aro concerned,
tho most Interesting members of tho
entire group, and are kept under con
stant observation whenovor circum
stances permit.
No Sex In Eggs.
Thero Is no possible way of de
termining the sex of eggs. An emi
nent poultry authority says that the
best way to determine whether an
egg contains a rooster or a pullot Is
to hatch and watch tho chick grow
for about four montliB. If the chick
crows, it Is a rooster. If It lays an egg,
It Is a pullet. Tho American breeder
In years past has been inclined to
worry himself to an unnecessary de
gree in an effort to determine a meth
od of controlling or determining the
sex of the unborn. This I a matter
entirely too delicate and too mysteri
ous to be handled by man, and ho will
probably never know any more about
such things Uian he knows now.
Farmers Home Journal.
Coal Oil for Mites.
Clean the roosts often enough to
keep miles, that stay on the roosts In
daytimo, from multiplying. If they
have a start, troat the roosts every
other day till two or three treatments
have been given. Coal oil will kill
them If no other remedy Is at hand.
Apply It early In the day and do not I
Uflo an excessive amount. . ' J
Hikers lliroi-li Here.
On Friday morning two young
ladies on a "hiking" tour across
tho continent, passed through
McCnunellsburg. undou over this
direct route to Pittsburgh. They

They left tho metropolis Sun

days In each of thoso places.
They seem to have an abundant
supply of courage, for when
night overtakes them, they hunt
the cosey corner of a fence,
slightly off from tho road, and
rolling up in their pinchos, sleep
the sleep of the innocent. They
carry no tents .ir other cumber
some equipment and have already
acquired the long steady strido
that counts up many miles in a
'day's timo.
There are no rules governing
this tour, but tho young ladies ex

their destination, about April 1st.
They will walk all tho way to St.
Louis, whero they will spend
some time with friends, and then

say that they are having the time
of their livos.
