Interesting Exhibit In School Building
Manual Work o f the Year is Now D isp layed
Special preparations have been making for some time in the Belmar public school for the term exhibit to be given this afternoon and evening. Tennexhib- its of penmanship, map and erayo.. Raw ing, and manual work, they representing a variety of crafts, have been prominent term-end features, and this year there is such a vast and varied variety of this work that the class rooms of the school building constitute a veritable museum of interesting things. From sub-primary to eighth grade the class rooms are all hung with artistic displays of work ; and the basket, mat, doilie, working cap, apron, and better grade of stitching and light utility work are bound to elicit marked praise from those who visit the rooms.
There are a good many excellent arti- zans in Belmar but no matter how well versed in wood and cabinet work they are they will be sutprised to see tlie samples of cabinet work turned out during the term in the manual training department of the Belmar school. Adjustable reclining chairs, mission tables, whatnots, book racks, settees, towel rollers, antique wooden ornamental pieces, etc., fill a whole room and are remarkably well wrought.
When it is considered that only an hour a week is devoted to manual training work and that all this wonderful exhibit

The best record yet has been made by the swans this year on Silver Lake. Last Friday the first signfet of the season hatched out followed by many others. Three settings have hatched so far. In the nesls were twenty-two eggs and nineteen out of that number hatched out mak ing a loss of one egg to a nest. There are still four more settings with twenty- eight eggs in them to be heard from, but no more are looked for until the middle of next week as none of the rest were courageous enough to lay and build their nests as soon as these three.
The first nests were built.before Easter and held several eggs when the heavy snow storm came necessitating their dig ging out after the would be blizzard.
Many have expressed their doubt as to the probability of the Widow Swan's sue cess in bringing off her bwiod on account of the Lake having risen so high that the water nearly surrounded her nest. Mr. Hankins, who has the Belmar swans in charge and who is a good authority, claims that the eggs need a certain amount of moisture, that amount varying, to make the eggs hatch properly and mistakes are made by some would be helpers who move the nests if the water rises around them. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that Belmar has more swans than any other of our coast resort lakes hatched on its shores.
W ild Swans, it is understood, mate for life, but this is not so with those domesticated which is proved to us by one of our own who lost his mate last year and has remated this year.
BELM AR PUBLIC SCHOOLs made possible by these bits of time, ;rown-ups may well be ashamed for the noments of life utterly wasted and lost.

New Peach Orchard IndustryOne of our well known citizens, J. Har
ry Mount of 602 Sixth avenue, has launched out in a new field of enterprise. Mr, Mount has just purchased the extensive estate belonging to Bud Emerson at New Egypt, N. J. and will take possession October First. The Emerson farm consists of three hundred acres of cleared and cultivated farming land and two hundred and fifty acres of good timber land which in itself holds great possibilies. Mr. Mount has contracted with a company to furnish three thousand matured peach trees to be set out August First and will later add other fruit orchards of which he will make a specialty. It is Mr. Mount’s idea to do his farming in a systematic and scientific way, making it his business.

In the rear of the club house are six excellent clay tennis courts. The Inlet Terrace club is member of the National Lawn Tennis Association under whose auspices a Tennis Tournament is planned fer week of August 9th.

t h e N o r th .
THE thirtieth of May in 1862 was made memorable in Civil war history by the evacuation of Corinth,
Miss. The seizure of this Confederate stronghold by the Union armies was an event which, estimated by its results, may be regarded as the first important event of the war. Since the first of May Halleck had been trying to gain possession of this stronghold, which, at that time, was held by Beauregard. In the meantime Old Farmington, the strongly fortified outpost of the Confederacy, about four miles from Corinth, had been given up; Mar- maduke, who had been in command there, had retired to Corinth to reenforce Beauregard. The Union forces had taken possession of Old Farmington, had cut off Beauregard’s railroad connections to the north and east and had, by the twenty-ninth of May, succeeded in working their way to a position near the Confederate fortifications at Corinth, from which an assault could be made.
It was Halleck’s intention to make an assault on the following morning, and he was expecting to meet with strong resistance. But Halleck’s expectations were not realized. A ll night long the pickets and sentinels heard a continuous roar of moving cars in Corinth. A t early dawn Halleck sent out skirmishers, but no foe appeared to oppose them. He then ordered Sherman to advance with his troops toward the Confederate fortifications and to “feel the enemy.” But no enemy could be found. Where was he?
Out near Old FaTmington there still stands a tall tree which today is pointed out to sightseers who visit Corinth as “Lookout Tree ’’ From the top of this tree the Union spies, at the time of the siege, with a field glass, used to observe the movements of the Confederate troops.
The morning of the thirtieth of May, 1862, these spies saw only the rear of Beauregard’s army far to the south of Corinth fleeing down the Mobile railroad. The enemy whom Sherman had been sent to “feel” had escaped. The city had been evacuated and left as a prize of war to the Union army.
On this thirtieth of May there was much rejoicing in the northern states, for all through the month of May the people there had been awaiting the outcome of this siege. On the following morning there appeared in the New York Tribune a long editorial beginning thus:
“Another stronghold of the rebels has fallen. Corinth is reannexed to the Union, and Beauregard’s army is flying down the Mobile railroad in anxious search for the ‘last ditch.’ ”
This tells the story. Soon after the th irtieth of May of the preceding year the battle of Bull Run had given the Confederates a strong footing in the East, but since the beginning of the year 1S62 the Union forces had been gaining a series of victories in the Mississippi valley; Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Island Number Ten, New Madrid and Fort Donelson had prepared the way for the victory at Corinth. The result of this victory was the establishment o f the power of the Union in the West. One week later Memphis fell, as it ■were, by its own weight. This gave the Union forces control of the Mississippi. the only important stronghold in the Mississippi valley that remained secure to the Confederates.
While the people in the North on th is th irtieth of May were rejoicing over fhe victory of their soldiers at Corinth and over the results which they felt would inevitably follow, what about the people in the South? Nearly a year had now passed since the vic
tory of the Confederate soldiers at the battle of Bull Run. When the news of this victory had come to the southern people many of them thought the war was over. So general was this impression that many of the southern soldiers had gone back to their homes, thinking that there would be no further need of their services.
The evacuation of Corinth cast a gloom over the whole South, but there still remained w ith the southern people an implicit confidence in the army of northern Virginia, which was, on that day, holding its own in defense of Richmond.
M A R K E D EN D OF B IT T E R N E S SPa th e t ic Inc iden t in Sou the rn Ceme
te ry Showed a Lessen ing of W a r t im e Grief.
For a long time there was a rigid rule against erecting any but Federal monuments in Federal battlefield cemeteries and Confederate monuments in Confederate cemeteries. But as time passed and the bitterness healed slabs were placed here and there denoting that a one-time enemy slept among the others. When Memorial day came the flowers were placed ungrudgingly on the alien’s mound.
In one of the southern cemeteries where a northern soldier rests there was for a long time a practice of decorating every Confederate grave with a tiny Confederate flag—the Stars and Bars. As the survivors and the widows and orphans of the Confederate dead came spring after spring to strew their flowers and plant their flags they halted at the Yankee sol-’ dier’s grave for a second with bitter thoughts. Finally, as time passed and their grief lessened, they placed flowers on their foeman’s grave also.
In 1872, as a young widow of one of the dead Confederates went with her little daughter to decorate the graves, the girl noticed that no Confederate flag had been placed on the northern soldier’s mound. So she placed one there. The chairman of the Memorial committee, passing by, removed it.
The little girl hurst into tears and it was hard to explain things so as to satisfy her. Her elders began to think over the incident.
The next month, when the widow again went to the cemetery, she brought with her a small Stars and Stripes, which she had procured only after considerable difficulty.
This she silently handed her little daughter, who placed it lovingly on the Yankee soldier’s grave.

G a r d n e r " "H EN at last the breakfast dishes were washed, thebeds made and the house dusted, she climbed tjiestairs to her small back room and, w ith even more care than usual, dressed
herself to go out. It was Memorial day, and the afternoon was hers to do with as she chose.
She was young—not more than twenty; pretty, iu spite of her toolight hair and high cheek bones; and
She Looked a t H erse lf Closely.she was as silent as an Indian. Now and again, as she dressed, she looked at herself closely, almost anxiously, in her cracked mirror. W ith the knuckle of her forefinger she occasionally brushed away a fog of tears which blinded her. And then she hurried down the stairs, out the back door and across the lawn to Mrs. W inthrop’s baby, who was playing under the lilac hedge.
“Bye, Hilma,” he called, waving his fat little hand and holding up a spray of white lilac.
The girl took him in her arms for a second, burying her face in his chubby neck. "T’ank you, little Yon,” she murmured in her poor, broken English. “H ilma love sveet little boys yust like you,” and putting him gently from her she took the spray of lilacs and hurried away.
“Well, did you see that?” remarked Mrs. Winthrop indignantly to her husband. “If H ilma had known I was here at the library window she never would have dared help herself to our white lilacs. But Swedes are all alike; they have no more soul than an oyster; they’re mercenary and unprincipled, through and through. I admit, though, that H ilma is something of a mystery. Do you know that in all the two years she has lived here she has never once gone out in the evening, or had a single visitor? I suppose her sweetheart works nights, some place, so she can see him only on her day out. 1 ought never to have taken her, as I did, without a reference." Mrs. Winthrop was young, and lacked both experience and mentality. She had nothing to do, and a great deal of time in which to do it; hence H ilma’s shortcomings fretted her considerably. “I suppose the girl w ill wear those lilacs to some Swedish picnic,” was her final comment; and she returned to her novel and her chocolates.
Meanwhile Hilma hurried across lots toward a car. There was need for haste. She had a two hours’ ride before her, a task to accomplish, and was expected home again in time to cook dinner. How crowded the cars were! How often they stopped! What a lot of people swarmed the streets!— soldiers, flags, bands playing martial music. She had never heard of Me
morial day; she knew only that she must reach a remote spot far at the other side of town, and that if she did not hurry dinner would be late. Again and again she changed cars, until, weary and half-frightened, she came at last to her destination.
Between the high pickets of the fence before her she could see tali elms and maples waving their arms in the chill air. And the crowds of people were in there, too! Could it be that the whole world knew why she had come? W ith a sense of giddiness and a stifling pain at her heart she hastened, half blindly, through the iron gates and away toward a far off, lonely corner where the crowds were not. She saw a bright gleam of flags
Returned to Her Novel.and flowers, heard a babel of voices and music—“The land of the free and the home of the brave,” sang a chorus of voices as she passed; “we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,” declaimed an orator close by; but nobody noticed her as she hurried down the smooth, winding roadway.
It was a very small grave—scarcely three feet long, and with the imprint of the spade still showing iu the freshly turned earth. There was neither grass, nor headstone above it; yet, in a vague way, Hilma felt that it contained her whole life and soul—all the joy of her past, all the hope of her future. Over yonder, young soldiers in bright uniforms, and old soldiers in faded ones, paid tribute to their honored dead; while upon this little, dreary grave a lonely girl laid a spray of white lilacs in commemoration of the great battle which she had fought —and lost.
She was setting the dinner table when young Mrs. Winthrop swept into the room, carrying a bowl of white lilacs.
“I suppose you had a good time, H ilma?” remarked her mistress, carelessly. "Did you wear those lilacs?”
The girl looked up, startled. “Your little Yon, he give dem to me,” she explained, quietly. “I t ’ank you. Dey vas verra sveet. Vear d e m N o , ma'am, I not vear dem—I give dem to anodder little hoy yust about so big like your little Yon." Something gripped H ilma’s throat, and a quick rush of tears blinded the wide blue eyes. For a brief moment she felt that she must tell all—must find some touch of human sympathy. She would beg this woman to listen while she spoke, at last, of the little home in Sweden; of the lover who had lied; of the old father and mother who even now must he watching for her, and wondering, and praying, of the dreary
Conta ined Her Whole Life and Soulyears of exile, made bright only on those blessed Thursdays when for an hour, at the “Home,” she had been allowed to hold her baby in her arms; and of how now, at last, all the light had gone out.
“M is’ Vinthrop,” she began, in a little, trembling voice, “M is’ Vintrop, I—”
“Be sure not to broil the steak too long this time, Hilma,” interrupted Mrs. Winthrop; “the last one was not, fit to eat. What were you saying?”
"I yust l ik e to ask,” replied Hilma, colorlessly, “vill M is’ Vintrop have mayonnaisce vid de tomatoes?”

TH E readiness with which the soldiers of the Civil war became quiet citizens at the close of the
war greatly puzzled foreigners, at that time. Foreigners do not realize that it has never been the policy of our people to maintain a large standing army. The soldiers of the Union and the soldiers of the Confederacy were nearly all volunteers. Both armies were composed, in the main, of law- abiding men, who left their homes in obedience to what they thought was their duty. The contest was one of principle; not one of personal revenge. The matter being settled, they were ready to return to their accustomed occupations.
The readiness with which the Union and Confederate soldiers now unite in observing Memorial day also puzzles foreigners. They think that it is a mere matter of expediency which was brought about in 1898, when some of the old Union and Confederate soldiers marched side by side under the Stars and Stripes. But such is not the case. The Blue and the Gray had been united in the observance of Memorial day before the war with Spain.
Memorial day, as it is now formally observed as a legal holiday in a majority of the states, was inaugurated in 1868. Gen. John B. Logan, who was at that time commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued an order to all surviving Union soldiers to meet May 30 of that year, at the cemeteries near their respective posts, and to decorate the graves of their fallen comrades. But the ceremony, in an informal way, had been observed since the spring of 1865 in the South, where the custom originated. The ceremonies at the graves of the Confederate dead in Hollywood cemetery at Richmond, Va., in the spring of 1867 were being observed at the time Mrs. John B. Logan happened to be visiting in that city. She was so pleased with the simple beauty of these ceremonies that she urged her husband to inaugurate sim ilar ceremonies for the Union soldiers. It was these ceremonies that suggested the idea to General Logan.
The idea of uniting the ceremonies of the northern and the southern people seems to have originated, also, in the South, for in the spring of 1867 the women of Columbus, Miss., while decorating the graves of Confederate soldiers, strewed flowers on the graves of the Union soldiers who were buried in the same cemetery. When the news of this touching tribute reached the North, the northern newspapers commented favorably on the fact.
Since that time the sentiment expressed in it has been growing among the American people. The monument erected at Fitzgerald, Ga., by the Blue and Gray Memorial association of that place is one of the best visible expressions of this sentiment.
W orthy All Nation Can Give.The old soldiers are passing from
the sight of a people to whom they have been an inspiration and a pride for more than a generation. Is there anyone to grudge full meed of praise and comfort for the few who still remain?

Col. David J.

A. R. in Washington. Colonel Palmer’s regiment was the Twenty-fifth Iowa, which he commanded. A fter the battle of Shiloh he was left on the field for dead, but recovered and took part in some of the bitterest campaigns of the war.

Day E rings th e P a s t Nearer .The day is sacred to the memory
of the dead soldiers of the Civil war. The surviving comrades of those whose graves are to he strewn with flowers conduct the ceremonies. They lay the blossoms there and place the flags at head and foot of each sleeping hero with an emotion and a personal feeling that the younger generation does not experience, for those departed ones were their friends and associates. They camped and marched and suffered together; they fought side by side and some were taken and others left. But the days when they were all alive together seem near to these veterans, though half a century has come and gone since the parting, and the tears that come to their eyes each thirtieth of May are tears of tender regret and mourning for friends and brethren whose lives went out too soon.—Exchange.
Gettysburg Today.In 1895 the Gettysburg Battlefield
Memorial association transferred its grounds (about 850 acres), together with the monuments which had been erected, to the care and protection of the general government. The battlefield is now under the care of the United States government by act of congress of 1895. Already 503 monuments have been erected by different states, and excellent carriage roads have been built, so it is now possible for the tourist to ride to every point on the field. F ive iron and steel observatories have been erected, and from these one may view the entire battlefield—now a vast park dotted with costly marble and bronze tributes to the men who gave their lives to the

I had a place in m y right side that was so sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I certainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells.

$96,000 Assesesd Under Law of 1911— $24,000 H as Piled Up During
F igh t Over th e Cons t i tu t ion a l i ty of th e S ta te Tax .
(Special Trenton Correspondence.)Trenton—An order giving judg
ment in favor of the State of New Jersey against the Pennsylvania Railroad for $24,000—the amount claimed as interest on unpaid taxes due the State—was signed by Chief Justice Gummere in the Supreme Court.
The railroad, according to Albert P. Wall, of Jersey City, its counsel, w ill pay the interest and the principal immediately.
On the strength of his statement, Assistant Attorney-General Herbert Boggs consented to withhold the judgment and allow the company to pay, without being served w ith the judg ment.
Mr. Wall explained that the company has stood ready to pay the taxes since the Court of Errors ruled that the law under which they were levied was valid, but, he said, the company contends that the addition of interest to the claim of the State after court had ruled was not warranted under the statute.
The matter was of serious import to the company, he declared, because the interest was mounting up at the rate of $300 a week and would soon total $25,000. “To prevent any further increase,” he said after the chief justice had decided that he had no alternative but to enter summary judgment, “the company w ill pay the disputed sum and sue out a writ of cer- tiori to review the summary judgment.”
r?he taxes in question were assessed under a law of 1911 and covered property of the company in Hudson county for which taxes had been paid erroneously to municipalities in 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1909.
The taxes amounted to $96,000. The Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional, but last term the Court of Errors and Appeals upheld the statute.
W hile the litigation was going on the interest was accumulating. No claim was made for interest by the State in the Court of Errors, and after that court had ruled the railroad offered to pay the taxes, $96,000, but the State demanded interest at the rate of 12 per cent, from April 24, 1913, the date they were due, to the date of payment.
The railroad fought the interest charge, and the comptroller took action before the chief justice to get judgment for the amount.
Chief Justice Gummere said that the law, in his opinion, provided that interest was to be charged for the time the taxes remained unpaid after they became due.
J e r s e y T ea ch e r Objec t of A ttack .The action of the State Federation
of District Boards of Education of New Jersey in attacking what they called the duplicty of the State Teachers’ Association w ill focus public opinion upon a situation that has been a delicate one for a number of years. At the meeting in this city the Federation of District Boards went on record as being oposed to the State Teachers’ Asosciation in general and Miss Elizabeth A. Allen, of Hoboken,' in particular.
In the report of President Charles P. Taylor, of Newark, and of the Executive Committee of the board attention was called to the selfish and ulterior motives of the association in connection with the promotion of certain legislation at the session recently- ended. The situation is now at a point where official notice w ill probably have to be taken by Governor Filder or some other of State officials. Miss Allen, against whom most of this antagoinsm is directed, is best known because of her activities in connection with the teachers’ retirement fund, of which she is the secretary.
Teachers of New Jersey are compelled to pay 2 per cent, of their salaries into the teachers’ retirement fund. This is objectionable to many of the young teachers of the State, but there has been no concerted attack to have the law overridden. New Jersey figures in an official way because about $200,000 of State money goes into the administration of this fund each year, so that some believe the State w ill have to take official notice of these frequent disputes of the educational bodies.

Writ Issue Will Check Bulkhead.Justice Black, in the Supreme Court,
has allowed a writ of certorai to review the action of the Common Council of the Borough of Longpoirt in passing an ordinance to build a bulkhead to protect the town. The writ was applied for by James Henry Donnelly, of Loragport.
The necessary permission for the borough to pass suc’h an ordinance was contained in a law passed at the session of the legislature just closed. Donnelly claims that the law is unconstitutional -because it is special legislation and attempts to regulate the internal affairs of cities He further claims that tihe work is not of a character -that permits of an assessment by the municipality, and says that -the effect of assessing property owners for the construction of the bulkhead would be to take private property for private purposes Donnelly objects to being assessed for the -improvement.
Sta te House T a lk to Frisco.New Jersey Day at the San Francis
co Exposition, was made a semi-official holiday in this state, the principal feature of it being the connection by telephonic communication of the State Capitol here -with the New Jersey building on the Exposition grounds. Arrangements were made to have Governor Fielder, who is at the Exposition at present, and who w ill be there for New Jersey Day, talk over the te lephone to Acting Governor Edge,
The details of the plan were worked ouit by officials of the Delaware and Atlantic Telephone and Telegraph Company and L. Edward Herrmann, Governor Fielder's private secretary, who is acting in the same capacity for Acting Governor Edge. The telephone company issued invitations to every member of the House of Assembly and -Senate, the legislative correspondents and the State officers to be present at the ceremonies held in tbe Assembly Chamber.
Custodian John A. Smith took charge of the arangements for ’ the placing of the phones. There w ill be one telephone on the desk of every member of the House of Assembly and newspaper representatives. There w-ill also b-e phones for every Senator. Governor Edge, Speaker Godfrey, Chancellor Walker, Acting Adjutant General Read, Secretary of State Mar- and Insurance Comissloner La Monte and Secretary Herrmann will occupy seats at the speaker’s desk and each w ill -have a telephone in direct connection with the Jersey building at the Exposition
The talking will be done by Acting Governor Edge from this end and Governor Fielder on the other end. The Jerseyites at the Exposition at the time -will -be equipped with telephones at the other end of the line, and w ill listen to the conversation.P. S. C. Fu rn ish es Rental Terms .

USE OF CHICK DETERMINES THE FEED
Mother and Queen of Them All.In bringing the chick from the
hatch to maturity, the kind of feed to be used depends much upon the use to which the bird is going to be put. I f the fowl is to be marketed at an early age, rapid growth is essential. The milk feeding method will stimulate this rapid growth.
If the bird is to be used as a layer or breeder, on the other hand, there should be a slow but steady growth. This can best be obtained by feeding a wheat and corn or kafir ration supplemented by bran, shorts, sour milk, beef scraps, clover, oyster shell, and grit.
Many a poultryman makes the mistake of feeding only fat producing foods. He expects the chick to produce bone, sinew and feathers from this one food. Perhaps the grain that is most frequently used in this way is corn. A certain amount of corn is essential in producing energy and animal heat, but the mistake should not be made of feeding it exclusively and expecting the little chick to develop bone and muscle.
Ash and mineral matter are essential parts of the ahick's rations if you expect it to develop into a large, strong-boned bird. Some of this mineral matter the chick gets from clover, alfalfa and other green foods, but not enough. Mineral matter, therefore, is supplied in the form of beef scrap and finely ground oyster shell. The beef scrap should be fed in small quantities, and the amount increased as the chicks grow older.
Poultry authorities do not agree as to whether or not the chick should be made to scratch for his food. Some advise a shallow litter of light straw or chaff, some a deep litter, while some say to use no litter at all. One thing is certain, however—the chick must have exercise.
When the chicks are kept cooped up and cannot run on the ground they soon form the habit of standing around, and then the poultryman’s troubles begin. Artificial exercise must be supplied. Some poultrymen make the chick scratch for his food, others suspend vegetables at which the chicks jump. When the chicks can have access to an outdoor runway they will, as a rule, exercise sufficiently so that no artificial form of exercise need be supplied.
For the first week after hatching a feed composed of hard boiled eggs, ground shell and all, mixed with five times as much rolled oats as eggs, will serve as a good feed. A little finely ground chick grit and pulverized charcoal should be sprinkled over the food. Plenty of clean, fresh water must be supplied at all times. Sour m ilk is good if it can be secured. Finely cracked wheat and corn should gradually be added after the first day or two. A shallow box containing bran should be kept before the chicks at all times. This should be given to them on the first day so that they w ill form a taste for it. A little beef scrap and cornipeal can gradually be added to the bran.
Constant care, watchfulness and patience are qualities of the good poultryman, and the person who applies these to the raising of young chicks is bound to succeed.
Be particular to keep a supply of pure water in clean vessels for the hens, and grit where they can get it.
I f a hen becomes broody when she is not needed for hatching do not let her sit a single day. As soon as she begin to cluck shut her in a cage with slatted bottom and set the cage on supports where the air can circulate under it, and the broody fever w ill be cooled in two or three days.
Keep the chicks growing. Do not
Right Feed for Chicks.Little chicks should not be fed too
soon. If the heat is kept just right most any kind of sound food w ill do to feed the chicks. Any of the chick foods on the market are good if one has not had any experience in feeding chicks. Give them occasionally a feed of green food, also a little meat scraps. And always it should be borne in mind that exercise is the only method to develop muscle and make a strong, healthy chick.
Best Looking Eggs for Sitting .Choose only the smoothest and nic
est looking eggs for sitting, as the rough or ill-shaped ones account for your crippled and deformed chicks at hatching time and they are liable to be entirely ruined by their being ruptured when hatched from these illshaped eggs.
Sun l igh t in Hen House.A good rule for getting plenty of
sunlight into a hen house is to leave one square foot of glass space for each 16 square feet of floor space in the building.
be afraid of overfeeding t h e m . Make a little yard covered o v e r the top, leaving openings in the sides large enough to admit the chicks while preventing the old fowls f r o m passing through.
In this yard keep feed f o r the chicks all the time so they need not go hungry a minute. The pullet which is fed liberally matures quickly and becomes the producer of winter eggs.
If a poultry keeper is really Interested, he w ill soon learn to read instructions and modify them to suit his locality.
P U L L E T S FOR LAY ING STO C KOne Pou l t rym an Keeps Hens Through
F i r s t Laying Year and Then Selec ts Best for Breeding.
How many years shall we keep a hen? This question comes up frequently for discussion, and the answers made by practical poultrymen are bewildering to a beginner. One man says that we should depend upon pullets entirely for laying stock. His scheme will be to keep the hens through their first laying season, then select the best of them for breeders and let the rest go. This plan is based on the general theory that a hen lays more eggs in her first year than in any other. Many poultrymeu seem to believe that most of their hens cannot come back and give a profitable egg record the second year. The system based on this theory demands, of course, a vast amount of work in hatching and brooding, in order to keep up a full supply of pullets each year. On the other hand ihere are poultrymen who say that we may well keep our hens two, three, or even four years, provided we have the ability to judge the layers properly or have some system of weeding out the drones. Naturally if we could keep our hens three years it would mean less work at hatching and brooding.
F E E D IN G T H E YOUNG C H IC K SNothing Given Until Y oungs te r s Are
Two Days Old— Whole Grain Fed a t End of Eigh t Weeks.
(B y C. E . B R O W N , M in n e so ta E x p e r i m en t S ta tio n .)
We do not feed little chicks before they are two days old, but from tbe beginning give them water. During this period the hen is given her food out of reach of the little ones. The first feeds are given sparingly every two hours, and are usually wet mashes.
After the third day we feed some of the cracked grains, a little at a time, till, at the end of the fifth or sixth day we are giving the three feeds of the cracked grain. Occasionally we give a little whole wheat, and by the end of eight weeks we are feeding most of the grains whole. If the chicks are unable to get worms or insects in sufficient quantities, they must be supplied with a substitute, such as m ilk or beef scraps. Green feed is given in the form of finely chopped lettuce, a piece of potato or turnip or mangel when they are not able to run outside on the grass.
Keep One Breed Only.The farmer should keep but one
breed of poultry, just as he keeps but one breed of hogs or cows. Keeping several breeds means much additional work and expense in building the necessary houses and fences to keep them separated. Besides, housed and yarded poultry will not do nearly as well as those allowed the range of the entire farm.
Use th e Axe.Fowls suffering from cholera, con
sumption or bad attacks of roup are not worth the medicine with which they are doctored. Even if they apparently recover, the disease leaves them in such a weakened condition that they are worthless as layers and breeders. Save the medicine and use the axe.
Selec ting Best Chicks.Watch the chicks closely and mark
the ones making the most satisfactory growth. Select the ones that are plump, full breasted and in good proportion. You will not care to keep those that grow leggy and have thin breasts.
S t a r t in June .The purchase of a few baby chicks
from some fine pen of birds w ill make a splendid start if you care to start in June.

Four Days in a Well.In Georgia a colored man employed
by a doctor to do general chores has a habit of going off hunting for a few days without giving any notice of his Intention, so the other day when he did not show up. no inquiries were made. But this time he was hunting for help. W hile passing through a field at night he fell into an old uncovered well, forty feet deep. He could not climb out, so he passed the night yelling for help. The next day he yelled some more, but no help came. Fortunately the well was dry, so he got sleep, but his situation was sufficiently desperate. It was on the afternoon of the fourth day that some laborers heard a faint “Hello,” and tracing the sound rescued the man from his queer prison. He looked weak, but was not bodily injured, and a hearty meal set him all right again.

The war’s fearful devastation of European crops has caused an unusual demand for grain
’ from the American Continent. The people of the world must be fed and there is an unusual demand for Canadian wheat. Canada’s invitation to every industrious American is therefore especially attractive. She wants farmers to make moneyand happy, prosperous homes for themselves while helping her to raise immense wheat crops.Y ou can get a H om estead o f 1 6 0 a c r e s F R E E andother lands can be bought at remarkably low prices. Think of the money you can make with wheat at its present high prices, where for some time it is liable to continue. During many years Canadian wheat fields have averaged 20 bushels to the acre—many yields as high as 45 bushels to the acre. Wonderful crops also of Oats, Barley and Flax.Mixed farming is fully as profitable an industry as grain raising.

Being and Doing.As the man is in the integrity of his
character, so is his strength. Being is everything. It conditions happiness; it determines and measures service. A man s happiness depends upon what he is in himself. A man’s service to others is conditioned upon what he is in himself. Being is basal to doing. As the speed of the electric car is determined by the energy stored in the power house, as the power of the piston rod is determined by the push of accumulated steam, so personal power is determined and measured by character.

The seeding of spring wheat w7as pretty general this spring about 7th of April or about as early as in Illinois and Iowa. Oats and barley followed. Information is to hand that on first of May all seeding was practically finished. Farmers w ill now be busy at their breaking, and the land for summer fallow w ill be entered upon. Some who did not get their land prepared last fall, w ill be later than the others, but as the spring in Western Canada has been very open they w ill be only a few days later. A t the time of writing rain would be welcome, but at seeding time, the ground contained a splendid lot of moisture and the lack of rain at the present time will not be serious. The number of farmers who have gone into the raising of cattle has been considerably increased, and the preparation for extensive cultivated grass pastures is in evidence everywhere. The cultivation of fodder corn is being largely entered upon in Manitoba there being upwards of 25,000 acres in corn. In Saskatchewan there will be a large increase in the area planted, and in Alberta many of the more progressive farmers are taking hold of It. The yield, varies according to the cultivation it receives, and runs from five to nine tons per acre. In some portions of Manitoba where it has been poor for some years, success has been achieved in ripening and it is expected that a variety w ill soon be developed that w ill provide seed for the entire West, that w ill at an early date give to Western Canada a fame for the growing of a marketable corn equal to that it has now for the growth, of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada reveals field after field of alfalfa, the growth of which in any portion of the country is now absolutely assured. When these facts are made known to the farmers of the corn and alfalfa growing states, where their value as wealth makers is so well known, there will be no hesitancy in taking advantage of the splendid gift of 160 acres of land made by the Government of the Dominion of Canada, where equal opportunities are offered. Besides these free grant lands, there are the lands of some of the railway companies and large land companies, that may be had at low prices and on reasonable terms. During the month of February a large number of inquiries were received, asking for farm lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm land situation in Canada is the large percentage of sales made to settler? in the country who desire to increase their holdings or to others who will take up farming in place of different occupations previously followed.—Advertisement.

BANKERS LAUD PRESIDENTI t seems odd when one remembers
how different it was not long ago, to find a convention of bankers lauding Wilson for the incoming tide of prosperity, as did 250 delegates in New York the other day.
P resident James II. Manning, of the National Savings Bank, of Albany, sounded the keynote when he paid high tribute to the “firm, wise, courageous and patriotic leadership of Woodrow W ilson.”
Confidence, he said, is being slowly but surely restored.
“As an evidence of th is,” he added, “the public, for the first time since 1906, has been a buyer on a rising m arket; a remarkable contra s t when we consider th a t it has been a buyer of stocks on all declines since 1901. On this occasion, con trary to the usual order of things, the public seems to have really got ahead of Wall street.
“There are other unmistakable signs of rapidly approaching prosperity. As the only g rea t nation having unavailable supply of money and Of foodstuffs, metals and other necessary products to sell, the calls upon us will be heavy and insistent, which makes our enormous crops and other natural resources the real basis of the prosperity th a t has already begun.
“The coming year gives promise of being another golden harvest for the W estern farmer, and when merchants and manufacturers begin to share this prosperity the' ‘good times’ will be here indeed. In addition to this, the < opper industry is booming as it has not boomed for many a year. Even those mines whose cost of production is such as to be prohibitive in ordinary times have sta rted operations with a certa in ty of good profits a t prevailing prices.
“The g rea t iron and steel centres have already felt the ground swell, and are moving on the uptide with a streng th and volume tha t nothing can w ithstand.
“Savings banks deposits are in creasing, and generally banks have an abundance of money. Our exports are reaching proportions truly phenomenal. I t is therefore safe to predict th a t an era of prosperity is a t hand for the United States which will be one of the g rea test yet enjoyed, 110 m atter how long the war may last. The signs are so plain lliat even he who runs may read .”
Method is ts After New MembersDescribing the religious wave sweeping
the country as a challenge to Methodist zeal, Bishop Theodore S. Henderson of Chattanooga has hit upon an extensive program for the furtherance of the cause throughout the United States.
The program, approved by more than half of all the conferences, anticipates a gain of 250,000 members during the ensuing year, the enrollment o f 500,000 men and women for personal work and a decided increase in the number o f young men consecrating themselves for work in the ministry at home or on mission fields.
Methodists say they believe Billy Sunday has hit upon a popular trend. While they commend Snnday, they declare that much of his success is due not to himself, but to the popular mind of the moment. That is, there is a religious wave sweeping over the country. This wave is a challenge to Methodist zeal, and the big program is an effort to meet the challenge.
Ten years ago the net gain of the church averaged one-half of one per cent. Last year the gain went up to 197,000 and indications are that this year will show a figure above 200,000. With the present popular trend Methodists declare the next 12 months to be well within possibilities.

Mother Who Lost Son in T renches Adver t ises fo r a Pa ren t le s s
Boy.London.—Misery, says the old pro
verb, makes strange bedfellows, and surely this terrible war is finding incongruous occupations for some folks. Sir Frederick Treves, the famous surgeon, who has been in France and Belgium inspecting the work of the Red Cross at the front, in ambulance and in hospital, gives some queer examples of this incongruity.
“The supply of motor ambulances,” says Sir Fdererick, “is not scant. The chauffeur who drove me to Le Tou- quet was Kennerly Rumford, the famous singer. Another driver of note is the vicar of a quiet country parish in England. The most curious car i rode in was driven by a Belgian. It had once been very elegant, being a car of a fashionable type, but it is now the color of the earth. It belonged to a gentleman at L ille who fled from that town on the approach of the Germans. His present whereabouts are entirely unknown. In his flight he left his chauffeur behind, hut when in due course the chauffeur fled he took the car with him, and after many adventures reached Boulogne and handed himself over to the British Red Cross Society, in whose employ he now is He seemed little disturbed by the fact that he had taken the car out without his master’s leave.
“The motor drivers are as curious a body of men as were the ‘conductors’ in the South African war. A dispatch rider on a motorcyle ivas pointed out to me. He was working with distinction at the front, and had just come some 60 miles with a dispatch. He was merely a bundle of rags, splashed w ith mud, and I was surprised to hear that he was a much- respected Church of England curate.”
The spirit of the British soldier in war times is proverbial, but it has surely never been shown to such advantage as in this extract ‘ rom the last letter ever written by Captain the Hon. H. Lyndhurst Bruce, of the Royal Scots. It was to his father, Lord Aberdale, a day or two before the great charge at Ypres, in which he was killed:
“I w ish that you could see me in conditions that --ould stop even yo i from rhooting golden plover, but, by Jove, 1 enjoy it—it is the finest life I have ever lived.”
Another officer writes:“Our men entered the charge with
good spirits, and Capt. Bruce led them with that gallantry which was characteristic of all his earlier fighting.
“Capt. Bruce received a bullet wound in the forehead when the Scots had advanced to within 30 yards V the tiench-s from which the enemy had been driven. H is death was instantaneous. But the charge was continued with all the vigor we could command, and we had not long to wait before the Germans went helter-skelter out of the trenches, and we of the Royal Scots became the possessors of them. Then we came back to help those who had been wounded—and there were many of them—and then to ,bury the dead, among whom, the last, was Capt Bruce.
“We laid him to rest near the place where he gave up his life, and the sorrow of the men was inexpressible, for they loved Capt. Bruc'- who had been such a brave, intrepid and devoted leader.”
The mothers of these men teach a lesson, too, as is shown by the following advertisement, which I take from The Times:
“W idow of naval officer w ill make a home for an English or Belgian orphan boy, with view to adoption. Her own boy Ties somewhere near the trenches in France.’ ’’
Another mother, writing to her son who had somewhat boastfully related in his letter that while on patrol duty he had killed a German, says:
“I cried on reading your letter. Perhaps that German you killed had his mother, and perhaps he had a wife, waiting for him at home. Couldn’t you just merely wound the Germans? It would he quite enough.”
Everybody has read of the old soldier whose leg had been lost in some far-away battle, but who, to the day of his death, complained that his corns hurt him! Here is an extract from a letter by an officer in the Royal Artillery:
"It’s a curious thing, but whenever a bullet comes near me now it hurts my right arm. I suppose it is nervous reaction. Being h it has certainly destroyed my nerve a little in two ways I t makes one understand that one is not invulnerable, and unavoidably makes one a hit mumpy at the sound of bullets, and also it seems to have touched a nerve in my armpit that is connected w ith the inside of my thumb, first and second finger in a lessening degree. 1 Cannot feel witb the inside or top of my right thumb, and yesterday dropped something i was holding without knowing i t It is difficult to do up buttons with then) and that sort of thing.'*
Cain did not invent war. He was merely the first murderer.

A SONG OF GLADNESS Be Exceeding Glad. Matt. 5:5.
I ’m glad there’s room for singing In the crowded busy day;I ’m glad that music in the heart Makes work as light as play.I ’m glad I need not work alone,Nor carry all the load;I ’m glad a Friend walks by my side And cheers me on the road.I ’m glad the heaviest burden Leaves a little strength to spare;I ’m glad there’s power enough, withal,A brother’s load to share.I ’m glad my task is greater Than my puny strength can grip;I ’m glad to have so sure a claim Upon God’s partnership.You cannot do without Him!There is no other name By which you ever can be saved,No way, no hope, no claim!Without Him—everlasting loss Of love and life and light!Without Him—everlasting woe And everlasting night.I could not do without Him!Jesus is more to meThan all the richest, fairest giftsOf earth cau ever be.But the more I find Him precious And the more I find Him true,The more I long for you to find What He can be to you.A m er .= W or Id I6 th A n n u a l C a m p M e e t i n g G r o u n d s

“JERSEY NEXT” IS SUFFRAGE SLOGANMen Send the Car “ Voter" Through the State,
“New Jersey Next!" is not only the slogan of the unenfranchised half of the people o? the state, but also the warcry of hundreds of New Jersey men who want their mothers and wives, their sweethearts and sisters, to walk side hy side with them as citizens with equal rights.
The men of New Jersey have decided it is time they gave active help inthe campaign to put New Jersey on the suffrage map. Accordingly, the .Men's I.eague Fo r Woman Suffrage, o t which Champlain L. Itiley of Plainfield ispresident, has bought a little yellow car. which is to be used all over the stateto reach the voters.
The car is to be manned by Miss Eva Ward, who is to act as field worker for the New Jersey Men’s League. She is now setting forth on a lonely pilgrimage to cover as many of the twenty-one counties of the state as time and the auto will permit.
“We are calling the car ‘Voter’ because it has been given to the campaign hy voters of the state.” explained Miss Ward, “and we are interesting our-
“THE VOTER.’’selves principally in the politicians. The editors of the Nfew Jersey papers say that they want to know what the politicians are going to do about woman suffrage. So that’s one thing we are going to try to find out. You see. ‘Mohammed is going to the mountain.’ Fortunately New Jersey is not too large a state to be covered. I am taking the ‘Industrial Directory,’ because as often as possible I am going to stop outside factory gates in lunch hours and talk to the men directly and give them literature. I don't mean to lose one single speechmaking chance.
“We are neutral on all questions but suffrage, and here we show our colors all the time, for ’Voter’ has a brilliant yellow campaign dress. In each town on the tour there are men who stand for suffrage and who w ill help in the work of the campaign. The car will act as a kind of peripatetic office, carrying all the equipment for action, and I shall have to be at different times all of a secretary-chauffeur-typist-speaker-organizer-reporter. Tho Men’s League is cooperating with all the women’s organizations, and we are hoping to do much useful scouting for them.”
The league has many noted members, and numbers of leading politicians are among the active workers in the campaign, among them Attorney General Westeott. Sheriff Eugene Kinkead, Congressman Hamill, Senator Charles O'Connor Hennessy and the Hon. Everett Colby. Among the vice presidents are the Hon. Ernest R. Ackerman of Plainfield, Mayor Victor Mvralag of Elizabeth. e£-Govemor John Franklin Fort of Orange, Colonel George Harvey, Linton Satterthwait of Trenton, the Rev. Edgar S. Weirs, Montclair; Jesse Lynch Williams, Princeton; Captain Albert N. Wood, IT. S. N„ retired; W illiam Hard. Montclair, and John Cotton Dana of Newark.

Danish Women Win Full Suffrage.On June 5 the king of Denmark will
sign a bill conferring full suffrage on the women of Denmark.

Equal suffrage spreads from one country to another in Europe as it spreads from state to state in our own country. Tlie women of Norway7 have full suffrage, while there is an im mense popular majority for equal suffrage in Sweden. Full suffrage ir. Sweden has been delayed ouly by7 the vote of the upper house, which is non- elective.
Anti-suffrage.“As to women voting, the situation,’
says Miss Lucy Price, “would be thai of a business concern in which the partners’ interests and work were ex actly the same. I f this were the case the business would soon fail.”
Antidote.Well, how would you like to be a
partner In a business where yTour interests and work were exactly diverse from your partner’s? If, for instance he made gunpowder while you made nursing bottles? Aud specially how would you like it if, in this diversity of work and interests, he could have his say about how the business should be run and you had no say at all?
College Women Trouble th e Antis.I t is now unusual to find educated
yvomen of the present generation who are opposed to the enfranchisement of their own sex, hut suffragists were somewhat surprised when this was admitted by a leading anti-suffragist of Poughkeepsie. N. Y.
This lady startled her audience recently7 by saying:
“Poughkeepsie has suffered from its proximity to a woman's college. The college students, who seem to be al! suffragists, used to come over and demonstrate their enthusiasm in Poughkeepsie under the rule of President Tay lor. Now that Dr. McCracken, an ardent suffragist himself, is in charge they keep their enthusiasm on the campus.”
Labor Committed to Suffrage.The American labor movement
stands committed for equality of opportunity. for equal work, whether per- formed by men or women. I t also stands for equal rights before the law, and that implies equal suffrage in the selection of those who shall administer and execute tlie law.—Samuel Gompers.
Equal Pay In Scotland.Women are being employed on Glas
gow tramcars run by tho corporation’s committee. The initial experiment had been so goal that after hearing a report upon tlie women’s work the general manager was instructed to go ahead and employ as many women as he found necessary. The women are being paid 27 shillings, same as the men. and the hours and general condi tious are to remain as they were when men worked alone on the ears.
LITTLE ANTI-ANTIDOTES.Anti-suffrage.
“Women w ill either divide on issue* in the proportion thut men do. ir which case they but double tho -volt without affecting the result, or they will vote in opposition to men. iu whirl case they nullify men's votes.”
Antidote.John Sm ith w ill either vote as RH
Brqwu votes or he woq't. I f he vote* as Rill dqes he merely doubles tin vote. I f he votes contrariwise to Mil he kills B ill's vote. Which shall be disfranchised. Bill or John?
Moral Force, According to Edison.From the laboratory of Thomas A.
Edison comes this statement: “I beg to say that I am in favor of woman suffrage. Woman is by far the best of humanity, the greatest moral force in the world.’^ ______
The S t ra ig h t Issue.Lincoln once said that this republic
was founded on the rule of “root, hog or die,” and women are no less amenable to that principle than are men. The amiable theory that it is man’s function to provide and woman’s function to be sheltered Is a living lie, as millions of women wage earners can testify. Sometimes man provides and sometimes he doesn't. The woman who is sheltered today may be working in a factory tomorrow to support herself and her children. Hunger knows no sex. W ant knows no sex. Necessity knows no sex. Law knows no sex. Property knows no sex. Only the ballot box knows sex.
But the ballot box once knew rank. I t once knew land and primogeniture, It once knew income and money and family. All I hose paraphernalia ol privilege have been swept away, and the disability qf sex will follow. In the steady sweep of democracy the time w ill come when the present opposition to. woman suffrage will seem as shortsighted and senseie is as the former opposition to, manhood suffrage rjctw seems.

AUTOMATIC SHOPS.
Edison P red ic ts T hey Will Come and Do Away W ith Charity .
“If some rich man seeking a worthy outlook for his money would install a series of automatic stores to he located in the poorest sections of our large cities,” says Thomas . A. Edison in ‘Business,’ "he could imake 5 per cent, on the investment and so eliminate the word charity and yet accomplish a benefit greater than any produced through the millions given in the past.
“W ith the purchasing power \these stores would have they could buy everything at wholesale. Then let them dispense only the necessaries, put up in penny and five cent lots. We already know what can be done with automatic vending machines, and these could be adapted to the sale of packages of tea, coffee, beans, peas, flour, sugar and all other staple foods, as well as fuel.
“At present the market for such wares is just the reverse of what it should be. The rich, with their ability to buy in quantity, are able to purchase their foods and fuel at a little more than a fraction of the prices paid by the poor, and hy our present methods this may not be obviated.
“The automatic store—and it w ill just as surely come as will new inventions designed to reduce hand labor through the adoption of more efficient machinery—will not only save through its ability to make quantity purchases, but will do away with clerks and cashiers, w ill in fact demand only tlie presence of a single person, whose duty w ill he that of a general overseer.
“These stores, buiit of concrete, will demand little if any fire insurance and may be kept sanitary even in the most congested district hy giving them a thorough washing with a hose at night. Their economical operation combined with their purchasing power, w ill make it possible for the man who earns a dollar and a half a day to buy as cheaply as the rich man.”
The Value of a Yawn.Yawning may be, in fact it is very
impolite, but all the same the doctors are now declaring that a good yawn is splendid, healthy exercise for the lungs and throat. Dr. Em il Bunzl, the distinguished throat specialist of Vienna, in speaking recently of diseases of the throat and remedies, said that yawning is a valuable exercise and should be encouraged. Moreover, yawning has recently been recommended independently as a valuable exercise for the respiratory organs.
“According to Dr. Naegli of the University of Luettich,” said Dr. Bunzl, “yawning brings all the respira
tory muscles of the chest and throat into action, and is, therefore, the best and most natural means of strengthening them. He advises everybody to yawn as deeply as possible, with arms outstretched, in order to change completely the air in the lungs and stimulate respiration. In many cases he has found the practice to relieve the difficulty in swallowing and disturbance of the sense of hearing that accompany catarrh of the throat. The patient is induced to yawn through suggestion, imitation of a prelim inary exercise in deep breathing.
“Each treatment consists of from six to eight yawns, each followed by the operation of swallowing. It should be added, however, that it is quite possible for deep breathing to he overdone, particularly hy persons with weak hearts, and it Is at least open to question whether the obstacles to free respiration, which the yawning cure is alleged to remove, are not useful in preventing the entrance of germs and other foreign bodies.”
Steady ing Ships.One of the latest of the many de
vices which have been tried for preventing the rolling of ships at sea is Frahm ’s anti-rolling tank, which has been tested at Hamburg, and, it is said, to be installed on a now 55,000- ton trans-Atlantic ship. It has also been tried on a warship. It consists of a U-shaped water reservoir placed crosswise inside the hull, and so adjusted that the movement of the water, which can be controlled when necessary by a valve, counteracts the oscillations of the ship produced hy the waves. The apparatus acts on the principle of resonance of vibration. Applied to two trading vessels, which were “notorious rollers,” the tanks are said to have practically cured the defect
The crews of British submarines are regularly drilled in the use of the safety helmet, by which they may save themselves and others in event of disaster.
Champagne is a little more than 12 per cent, alcohol.
Do You Have Rain, Dear?“That was an intentional misun
derstanding,” said Senator Bankhead, in a recent political argument.
“It was as intentional as the young Canadian’s. The young Canadian,you know, came to Washington to spend the holidays with a pretty cousin and her family.
“As he was motoring with his pretty cousin one afternoon she said to him: ‘Do you have reindeer in Canada?’ ‘No, darling,’ he answered quickly; ‘s i this season it always snows.’ ’’

CHA PTER X—Continued.
“And now, Mr. Brood, may I ask why you have always intended to tell me this dreadful thing?” she demanded, her eyes gleaming with a fierce, accusing light.
He stared. "Doesn’t—doesn’t it put a different light on your estimate of him? Doesn’t it convince you that he is not worthy of—”
“No! A thousand times no !” she cried. “I love him. If he were to ask me to be his wife tonight I would rejoice—oh, I would rejoice! Someone is coming. Let me say this to you, Mr. Brood: You have brought Fredericup as a butcher fattens the calves and swine he prepares for slaughter. You are waiting for the hour to come when you can kill his very soul with the weapon you have held over him for so long, waiting, waiting, waiting! In God’s name, what has he done that you should want to strike him down after all these years? It is in my heart to curse you, hut somehow^ feel that you are a curse to yourse lY ' I w ill not say that I cannot unflei’staiid how you feel about everything. You have suffered. I know you have, and I—I am sorry for you. And knowing how hitter life has been for you, I implore you to be merciful to him who is innocent.”
The man listened without the slightest; change of expression. The lines
. seemed deeper about his eyes, that was ail. But the eyes were bright and as hard as the steel they resembled.
"You would marry him?”"Yes, yes !”"Knowing that he is a scoundrel?”"How dare you say that, Mr.
Brood ?’*"Because,” said he levelly, “he
thinks he is my son.” Voices were heard on the stairs, Frederic’s and Yvonne’s. “He is coming now, my dear,” he went on and then, after a pause fraught with significance, “and my w ife is with him.”
Lydia closed her eyes as if in dire pain. A dry sob was in her throat.
A strange thing happened to Brood, the man of iron. Tears suddenly rushed to his eyes. .
CHA PTER XI.
A T em pe s t Rages.Yvonne stopped in the doorway.
Ranjab was holding the curtains aside for her to enter. The tall figure of Frederic loomed up behind her, his dark face glowing in the warm light that came from the room. She had changed her dress for an exquisite orchid colored tea-gown of chiffon under the rarest and most delicate of lace. For an instant her gaze rested on Lydia and then went questioningly to Brood’s face. The girl s confusion had not escaped her notice. Her husband’s manner was but little less convicting. Her eyes narrowed.
“Ranjab said you were expecting us,” she said slowly. She came forward haltingly, as if in doubt as to ber welcome. “Are we interrupting?”
"Of course not,” said Brood, a flush of annoyance on his cheek. “Lydia is tired. 1 sent Ranjab down to ask frede ric to— ”
Frederic interrupted, a trifle too eagerly. “I ’ll walk around with you, Lydia. I t ’s raining, however. Shall I te t the car out, father?”
“No, no !” cried Lydia, painfully conscious of the rather awkward situation. “And please don’t bother, Freddy, j can go honk' alcne. I t ’s only a step.” She moved toward the door, eager to be away.
“I ’ll go with you,” said Frederic decisively. He stood between her and the door, an embarrassed smile on his lips. “I ’ve got something to say to you, Lydia,” he went on, lowering his voice. \
“James, dear,” said) Mrs. Brood, shaking her finger at her husband and with an exasperating £mile on her Ups, “you are working xlie poor girl too hard. See how lata it Is! And how nervous she is. \\W, you are trembling, Lydia! For shame, James.”
R E C A L L E D OFFICER f a DUTYS igh t of Shou lde r S t rap fcrought to
Sold ie r a Realization or His Responsibilities.
There Is a story that ! leut. Guy Preston of tbe United States army saved his men at the fight at Wounded Knee by remembering the sentiment of the old Frrmch proverb: "Nobility necessitates,/noble conduct.” He was holding his men in line before
India/’* llred. Everyone was
“I am a little tired,” stammered Lydia. “We are working so hard, you know, in order to finish the—”
Brood interrupted, his tone sharp and incisive. “The end is in sight. W e’re a bit feverish over it, I suppose. You see, my dear, we have just escaped captivity in Lhasa. It was a bit thrilling, I fancy. But we’ve stopped for the night.”
“So 1 perceive,” said Yvonne, a touch of insolence in her voice. “You stopped, I dare say, when you heard the vulgar world approaching the inner temple. That is what you broke into and desecrated, wasn’t it?” \
“The inner temple at Lhasa,’ he said, coldly.
"Certainly. The place you were escaping from when we came in.”
It was clear to all of them that Yvonne was piqued, even angry. She deliberately crossed the room and threw herself upon the couch, an act so childish, so disdainful that for a full minute no one spoke, but stared at her, each with a different emotion.
Lyd ia ’s eyes were flashing. Her lips parted, but she withheld the angry words that rose to them. Brood’s expression changed slowly from dull anger to one of incredulity, which swiftly gave way to positive joy. His wife was jealous!
Frederic was biting his lips nervously. He allowed Lydia to pass him on her way out, scarcely noticing her so intently was his gaze fixed upon Yvonne. When Brood followed Lydia into the hall to remonstrate, the young man sprang eagerly to his stepmother’s side.
"Good Lord, Yvonne,” he whispered, “that was a nasty thing to say. What will Lydia think? By gad, is it possible that you are jealous? Of Lydia?”
“Jealous?” cried she, struggling with her fury. “Jealous of that girl! Poof! W hy should I be jealous of her? She hasn’t the blood of a potato.”
“I can’t understand you,” he said in great perplexity. "You—you told me
Listened W ithou t th e S l igh tes t Change of Expression .
tonight that you are not sure that you really love him. You—”
She stopped him with a quick ges-’ ture. Her eyes were smoldering. “Where is he? Gone away with her? Go and look, do.”
“They’re in the hall. I shall take her home, never fear. I fancy he’s trying to explain your insinuating—”
She turned on him furiously. “Are you lecturing me? What a tempest in a teapot.”
"Lydia’s as good as gold. She—” “Then take her home at once,”
sneered Yvonne. “This is no place for her.”
Frederic paled. “You’re not trying to say that my father would—Good Lord. Yvonne, you must be crazy! Why, that is impossible! If—if I thought—” He clinched his fists and glared over his shoulder, missing the queer little smile that flitted across her face.
“You do love her, then,” she said, her voice suddenly soft and caressing. He stared at her in complete bewilderment.
"I—I—Lord, you gave me a shock!” He passed his hand across his moist forehead. “It can’t be so. Why, the very thought of it—”
“I suppose I shall have to apologize to Lydia,” said she, calmly. “Your fath- ther w ill exact it of me, and I shall obey. Well, I am sorry. How does it sound, coming from me? ‘I am sorry, Lydia.’ Do I say it prettily?”
”1 don’t understand you at all, Yvonne. I adore you, and yet, by heaven, I—I actually believe I hated you just now. Listen to me: I ’ve been treating Lydia vilely for a long, long time, but—she’s the finest, best, dearest girl in the world. You—even you, Yvonne—shall not utter a word against—”
"Ai—e! What heroics!” she cried ironically. “You are splendid when
looking for trouble of some kind, but it was the unexpected thing that happened.
The Indians were hovering about with their blankets round them when the signal was given by one of them, and in an instant every buck threw away his blanket and stood revea!-”1 with a gun in his hand. The redskins fired. They had every advantage of the soldiers, for they outnumbered them and had taken them wholly by surprise. The soldiers ran. They did n6 t mean to run far, but
you are angry, my son. Yes, you are almost as splendid as your father. He. too, has been angry with me. He, too. has made me shudder. But he, too, has forgiven me, as you shall this instant. Say it, Freddie. You do forgive me? 1 was mean, nasty, ugly, vile—oh, everything that's horrid. 1 take it all back. Now, be nice to m e!”
She laid her hand on his arm, an appealing little caress that conquered him in a flash. He clasped her fingers in his and mumbled incoherently as he leaned forward, drawn resistlessly nearer by a strange magic that was hers.
"You—you are wonderful,” he murmured. “I knew that you’d regret what you said. You couldn’t have meant it.”
She smiled, patted his hand gently, and allowed her swimming eyes to rest on his for an instant to complete the conquest. Then she motioned him away. Brood’s voice was heard in the doorway. She had, however, planted an insidious thing in Frederic’s mind, and it would grow.
Her husband re-entered the room, his arm linked in Lyd ia ’s. Frederic was lighting a cigarette at the table.
“You did not mean all that you said a moment ago, Yvonne,” said Brood levelly. “Lydia misinterpreted your jest. You meant nothing unkind, I am sure.” He was looking straight into her rebellious eyes; the last gleam of defiance died out of them as he spoke.
“I am sorry, Lydia, darling,” she said, and reached out her hand to the girl, who approached reluctantly, uncertainly. “I confess that I was jealous. W hy shouldn’t I be jealous? You are so beautiful, so splendid.” She drew the girl down beside her. “Forgive me, dear." And Lydia, whose honest heart had been so full of resentment the mqment before, could not withstand the humble appeal in the voice of the Jienitent. She smiled, first at Yvonrie then at Brood, and never quite understood the impulse ^ ja t ordered her to kiss the warm, red lips that so recently had offended.
"James, dear,” fell softly, alluringly from Yvonne’s now tremulous lips. He sprang to her side. She kissed him passionately. “Now, we are all ourselves once more,” she gasped a moment later, her eyes still fixed inquiringly on those of the man beside her. “Let us be gay! Let us forget! Come, Frederic! Sit here at my feet. Lydia is not going home yet. Ranjab, the cigarettes!”
Frederic, white-faced and scowling, remained at the window, glaring out into the rain-swept night. A steady sheet of raindrops thrashed against the window panes.
"Hear the w ind!” cried Yvonne, after a single sharp glance at his tall, motionless figure. "One can almost imagine that ghosts from every graveyard in the world are whistling past our windows. Should we not rejoice? We have them safely locked outside— ai—e! There are no ghosts in here to make us shiver—and—shake.”
The sentence that began so glibly trailed off in a slow crescendo, ending abruptly. Ranjab was holding the lighted taper for her cigarette. As she spoke her eyes were lifted to his dark, saturnine face. She was saying there were no ghosts, when his eyes suddenly fastened on hers. In spite of herself her voice rose in response to the curious dread that chilled her heart as she looked into the shining mirrors above her. She shivered as if in the presence of death! For an incalculably brief period their gaze remained fixed and steady, each reading a mystery. Then the Hindu lowered his heavy lashes and moved away. The little by-scene did not go unnoticed by the others, although its meaning was lost.
"There’s nothing to be afraid of, Yvonne,” said Brood, pressing the hand, which trembled in his. "Your imagination carries you a long way. Are you really afraid of ghosts?”
She answered in a deep, solemn voice that carried conviction. “I believe in ghosts. I believe the dead come back to us, n *t to flit about, as we are told by superstition, but to lodge—actually to dwell—inside these warm, living bodies of ours. They come and go at will. Sometimes we feel that they are there, but—ah, who knows? Their souls may conquer ours and go on inhabiting—”
"Never!" he exclaimed quickly, but his eyes were full of the wonder that he felt.
“Frederic!” she called imperatively. “Come away from that window.”
The young man joined the group. The sullen look in his face had given ■way to one of acute inquiry. The new note in her voice produced a strange effect upon him. It seemed like a call for help, a cry out of the darkness.
They were all playing for time. Not one of them hut who realized that something sinister was attending their little conclave, unseen but vital. Each one knew that united they were safe, each against the other! Lydia was afraid because of Brood’s revelations. Yvonne had sensed peril with the message delivered by Ranjab to Frederic. Frederic had come upstairs prepared for rebellion against the caustic remarks that were almost certain to come from his father. Brood was afraid of—himself! He was holding himself in check with the greatest difficulty. He knew that the smallest spark would create the explosion he dreaded and yet courted. Restraint lay heavily yet shiftingly upon all of them.
A long, reverberating roll of thunder ending in an ear-splitting crash that seemed no farther away than the window casement behind them brought sharp exclamations of terror from the lips of the two women. The men, appalled, started to their feet
they needed some sort of cover.But Preston, looking back over his
shoulder to see if the Indians were following, or for whatever purpose a man looks back at a dangerous foe, saw the strap on his shoulder and experienced a shock.
It occurred to him at the instant that he was running away with the insignia of rank that his government ha it conferred upon him: that he was, ij» a way, the representative of a great nation, and that he ought not to run. He stopped. Of course there wan no
“Good Lord, that was close.” cried Frederic. “There was no sign of a storm when we came in—just a steady, gentle spring rain.”
“I am frightened,” shuddered Yvonne, wide-eyed with fear. “Do you think—"
There came another deafening crash. The glare filled the room with a brilliant, greenish hue. Ranjab was standing at the window, holding the curtains apart while he peered upward across the space that separated them from the apartment building beyond the court.
“Take me home, Frederic!” cried Lydia, frantically. She ran toward the door.
"I will come,” he exclaimed, as they raced down the stairs. “Don’t be

frightened, darling. I t ’s all right. Listen to me! Mrs. Desmond is as safe as— ”
“Oh, Freddy, Freddy,” she wailed, breaking under a strain that he was not by way of comprehending. "Oh, Freddy, dear!” Her nerves gave way. She v.as sobbing convulsively when they came to the lower hall.
In great distress, he clasped her in his arms, mumbling incoherent words of love, encouragement—even ridicule for the fear she betrayed. Far from his mind was the real cause of h«r unhappy plight.
He held her close to his breast and there she sobbed and trembled as with a mighty, racking chill. Her fingers clutched his arm with the grip of one who clings to the edge of a precipice with death below. Her face was buried against his shoulder.
“You will come with me, Freddy?” she was whispering, clinging to him as one in panic.
“Yes, yes. Don’t be frightened, Lyd- dy. I—I know everything is all right now. I ’m sure of It.”
“Oh, I ’m sure too, dear. I have always been sure.” she cried, and he understood, as she had understood.
Despite the protests of Jones, they dashed out into the blighting thunderstorm. The rain beat down in torrents, the din was infernal. As the door closed behind them Lydia, in the ecstasy of freedom from restraint bitterly imposed, gave vent to a shrill cry of relief. Words, the meaning of which he could not grasp, babbled from her lips as they descended the steps. One sentence fell vaguely clear from the others, and it puzzled him. He was sure that she said: “Oh, I am so glad, so happy we are out of that house—you and I together.”
Close together, holding tightly to each other, they breasted the whirling sheets of rain. The big umbrella was of little protection to them, although held manfully to break the force of the cold flood of waters. They bent their strong young bodies against the wind, and a sort of wild, Impish hilarity took possession of them. It was freedom, after all. They were fighting a force in nature that they understood and the sharp, staccato cries that came from their lips were horn of an exultant glee which neither of them could have suppressed nor controlled. Their hearts were as wild as the tempest about them.
Mrs. Desmond threw open the door as their wet, soggy feet came sloshing down the hall. Frederic’s arm was about Lydia as they approached, and both of their drenched faces were wreathed in smiles—gay, exalted smiles. The mother, white-faced and fearful, stared for a second at the amazing pair, and then held out her arms to them.
She was drenched in their embrace. No one thought of the havoc that was being created in that swift, impulsive contact. . . .
“I must run back home,” exclaimed Frederic. Lydia placed herself between him and the door.
“No! I want you to stay,” she cried. He stared. “What a funny idea!” “W ait until the rain is over,” added
Mrs. Desmond.“No, no,” cried Lydia. “I mean for
him to stay here the rest of the night. W e can put you up, Freddy. I—1 don’t want you to go back there until—until tomorrow.”
A glad light broke in his face. “By jove, I—do you know, I ’d like to stay. I—I really would, Mrs. Desmond. Can you find a place for me?” His voice was eager, his eyes sparkling.
"Yes,” said the mother, quietly, almost serenely. "You shall have Lydia's bed, Frederic. She can come in with me. Yes, you must stay. Are you not our Frederic?”
“Thank you,” he stammered, and his eyes fell.
"I will telephone to Jones when the storm abates,” said Mrs. Desmond.
"Now get out of those coats, and—oh, dear, how wet you are! A hot drink for both of you.”
"■Would you mind asking Jones to send over something for me to wear in the morning?" said Frederic, grinning as he stood forth in his evening clothes.
Ten minutes later, as he sat with them before an open fire and sipped the toddy Mrs. Desmond had brewed, he cried: “1 say, this is great!”
Lydia was suddenly shy and embarrassed.
"Good night,” she whispered. Her fingers brushed his cheek lightly. He drew her down to him and kissed her passionately.
“Good-night, my Lyddy!” he said, softly, his cheek flushing.
She went quickly from the room. * * * * * * *Later he stood in her sweet, dainty
little bedroom and looked about him with a feeling of mingled awe and wonder. All of her intimate, exquisite belongings, the sanctified treasures of her most secret domain were about him. He wandered. He fingered the articles on her dressing table; smelled of the perfume bottles and smiled as he recognized the sweet odors as being a part of her, and not a thing unto themselves; grinned delightedly at his own photograph in its silver frame that stood where she could see it the last thing at night and the first thing in the morn ing; caressed—ay, caressed —the little hand mirror that had reflected her gay or troubled face so many times since the dear Christmas day when he had given it to her with his love. He stood beside her bed where she had stood, and the soft rug seemed to respond to the delightful tingling that ran through his bare feet. Her room! Her bed! Her domain!
Suddenly he dropped to his knees and buried his hot face in the cool, white sheets, and kissed them over and over again. Here was sanctuary! His eyes were wet with tears when he arose to his feet, and his arms went out to the closed door.
“My Lyddy!” he whispered chokingly.* * * * * * *
Back there in the rose-hued light of James Brood’s study, Yvonne cringed and shook in the strong arms of her husband all through that savage storm. She was no longer the defiant, self-possessed creature he had come to know so well, but a shrinking, trembling child, stripped of all her bravado, all her arrogance, all her seeming guile. A pathetic whimper crooned from her lips in response to his gentle words of reassurance. She was afraid—desperately afraid—and she crept close to him in her fear.
And he? He was looking backward to another who had nestled close to him and whimpered as she was doing now—another who had lived in terror when it stormed.
CHAPTER XII.
The Day Between.Frederic opened his eyes at the
sound of a gentle, persistent tapping on the bedroom door. Resting on his elbow, he looked blankly, wonderingly about the room and—remembered. It was broad daylight. The knocking continued. He dreamed on, his blink ing eyes still seeking out the dainty, Lydialike treasures in tbe enchanted room.
“Frederic! Get up! I t ’s nine o'clock. Or will you have your breakfast in bed, sir?” It was Lydia who spoke, assuming a fine Irish brogue in im itation of their little maid of all work.
"I'll have to, unless my clothes have come over?”
“They are here. Now, do hurry.” He sprang out of bed and bounded
across the room. She passed the garments through the partly opened door.
He was artistic, temperamental. Such as he have not the capacity for haste when there is the slightest opportunity to dream and dawdle. He was a full quarter of an hour taking his tub and another was consumed in getting into his clothes. He sallied forth in great haste at nine-thirty-five and was extremely proud of himself, although unshaved.
His first act, after warmly greeting Mrs. Desmond, was to sit down at the piano. Hurriedly he played a few jerky, broken snatches of the haunting air he had heard the night before
“I ’ve been wondering if I could remember it,” he apologized as he followed them into the dining-room. “W hat’s the matter, Lydia? Didn’t you sleep well? Poor old girl, I was a beast to deprive you of your bed—”
“I have a mean headache, that’s all,” said the girl, quickly. He noticed the dark circles under her eyes, and the queer expression, as of trouble, in their depths. “It w ill go as soon as I ’ve had my coffee.”
Night with its wonderful sensations was behind them. Day revealed the shadow that had fallen. They unconsciously shrank from it and drew back into the shelter of their own misgiv- ivings. The joyous abandon of the night before was dead. Over its grave stood the specter of unrest, leering.
When he took her in his arms later on, and kissed her, there was not the shadow of a doubt in the mind of either that the restraining influence of a condition over which they had no control was there to mock their endeavor to be natural. They kissed as through a veil. They were awake once more, and they were wary, unconvinced. The answer to their questions came in the kiss itself, and constraint fell upon them.
Drawn by an impulse that had been struggling within him for some time, Frederic found himself standing at
well-defined object in his stopping, but when the rest of the men saw him standing there, without cover, and returning the fire of the Indians, they turned back, and in five minutes it was all over, and the Indians were beaten.
It would have been nothing short of a slaughter had Preston gone with the rest, for there vas no cover until the top of the hill was reached, and that was so distant that the Indians would have aad an easy time picking off the m ei as they ran. Preston’s idea of
the dining-room winnow. It was a sty, Covert though intensely eager look that he directed at another window far below. If he hoped for some sign of life in his father’s study he was to be disappointed. The curtains hung straight and motionless. He would have denied the charge that he longed to see Yvonne sitting in the casement, waiting to waft a sign of greeting up to him, and yet he was conscious of a feeling of disappointment, even annoyance.
W ith considerable adroitness Lydia engaged his attention at the piauo.N Keyed up as she was, his every emotion was plain to her perceptions. She had anticipated the motive that led him to the window. She knew that it would assert itself in spite of all that he could do to prevent. She waited humbly for the thing to happen, pain in her heart, and when her reading proved true, she was prepared to combat its effect. Music was her only ally.
“How does it go, Freddy—the thing you were playing before breakfast?” She was trying to pick up the elusive air. "It is such a fascinating, adorable thing. Is this right?”
He came over aud stood beside her. His long, slim fingers joined hers on the keyboard, and the sensuous strains of the waltz responded to his touch. He smiled patiently as she struggled to repeat what he had played. The fever of the thing took hold of him at last, as she had known it would. Leaning over her shoulder, his cheek quite close to hers, he played. Her hands dropped into her lap. Finally she moved over on the bench and he sat down beside her. He was absorbed in the undertaking. His brow cleared His smile was a happy, eager one.
"It’s a tricky thing, Lyddy,” he said, enthusiastically, "but you’ll get it. Now, listen.”
For an hour they sat there, master and pupil, sweetheart and lover, and the fear was less' in the heart of one when, tiring at last, the other con tentedly abandoned the role of taskmaster and threw himself upon the couch, remarking as he stretched himself in luxurious ease:
“I like this, Lyddy. I wish you didn’t have to go over there and dig away at that confounded journal. I like this so well that, ’pon my soul, I ’d enjoy loafing here w ith you the whole day long.”
Her heart leaped. “You shall have your wish, Freddy,” she said, barely able to conceal the note of eagerness

Benevolence.My ideal of human intercourse
would be a state of things in which no man will ever stand in need of any other man’s help, but w ill derive all his satisfaction from the great social tides which own no individual names.

in her voice. “I am not going to work today. I—my head, you know. Mother telephoned to Mr. Brood this morning before you were up. Stay here with me. Don’t go home, Freddy. I—”
“Oh, I ’ve got to have it out witb father sometime,” he said, bitterly. “It may as well be now as later op*. W e’ve got to come to an understanding.”
Her heart was cold. She w is afraid of what would come out of that “understanding.” A ll night long she had lain with wide-staring eyes, thinking of the horrid thing James Brood had said to her. Far in the night she aroused her mother from a sound sleep to put the question that had been torturing her for hours. Mrs. Desmond confessed that her husband had told her that Brood had never considered Frederic to be his son, and then the two lay side by side for the remainder of the night without uttering a word and yet keenly awake. They were thinking of the hour -when Brood would serve notice on the intruder!
Lydia now realized that the hour was near. “Have it out with father,” he had said in his ignorance. He was preparing to rush headlong to his doom. To prevent that catastrophe was the single, all-absorbing thought in Lyd ia ’s mind. Her only hope lay in keeping the men apart until she could extract from Brood a promise to be merciful, and this she intended to accomplish if she had to go down on her knees and grovel before the man.
“Oh, Freddy,” she cried, earnestly, “why take the chance of making a bad matter worse?” Even as she uttered the words she realized how stupid, how ineffectual they were.
“It can’t be much worse,” he said, gloomily. “I am inclined to think he’d relish a straight-out, fair and square talk, anyhow. Moreover, I mean to take Yvonne to task for the thing she said—or implied last night. About you, I mean. She—”

tion, if it contents me to be in a poel- tion of generosity towards others, 1 must be remarkably indifferent at bottom to the gross social inequality which permits that position, and instead of resenting the enforced humiliation of my fellow man to myself, in the interests of humanity, I acquiesce in it for the sake of the profit it yields to my own self-complacency. I do hope the reign of benevolence is over; until that event occurs I am sure the reign of God w ill be impossible.— Henry James, Sr.

Cottonseed Meal a Good Food.Cottonseed meal as a human food Is
being urged by Dr. G. S. Fraps, state chemist and chemist to the experiment station at the agricultural and mechanical college. Cottonseed meal is urged as a substitute, not for flour, but for meat, providing the same elements necessary for the proper support and development of the human system as does meat.
“Cottonseed meal flour is now be- irg used extensively in Texas, and in view of the high price of meat and the general fnancia l condition of the people of the state, this flour should come into a much wider use,” says Doctor Fraps. “It is palatable, and if eaten in the proper ration, makes an excellent substitute for meat."

Safe ty Matches Running Short .According to a Melbourne dispatch
to the Sydney (Australia) Herald, reproduced in a commercial report, strict economy in the use of safety matches is being advocated by m et chants who know how limited the stocks in Australia are at present, and how difficult it is to procure further supplies while the war lasts. A lready prices have risen 133 per cent in the wholesale market, and only a most careful use of these matches can prevent an actual shortage. The chief reason for this state of affairs
is said to be the regulation in force in England that compels the factory which supplies nearly all the Australian matches to show no lights at night, it being situated close to the Thames estuary. Consequently, the output is reduced to one-third of the normal quantity.

Why Men E a t More T h a r Women.That men eat five or six per cent
more than women—not because they are gluttons, but because they actually require that much more nourishment —appears as a result of an investigation made in the nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie institute at Washington by Francis G. Benedict and L. E. Eames, says the Literary Digest. The reason for the discrepancy seems to be that women have a smaller proportion of active t^sues than men of the same weight and more inactive material, such as fat. The investigation disclosed that the average woman generates only 1,355 heat units in the 24 hours, as against 1,638 produced by the man, or about two per cent more for the latter per pound of body weight. When groups were compared. after careful selection of individuals of nearly the same height and weight, the men were found to produce about 12 per cent a^ore heat tha;. women. ■!

SUNDAY MEALS.
The meals on Sunday should be well thought out and prepared large
ly the day before, so that the house mother may have a little leisure to enjoy the day of rest. In many homes, Sunday is a feast day, which should not be criticized if there is nobody overworked. W here
there are plenty o f servants to take their turn in being responsible for the day’s work, the situation is not bad; but where there is but one pair of hands to perform all the work of getting meals, it seems as if it were wiser to have simpler meals or those that can be reheated. It is o f very great importance that the mother should have rest and that the fam ily should have the privilege of self-denial and helpfulness in thinking of another’s comfort. It is often the fault of an overindulgent wife and mother that the Sunday feast days are so common.
Roasts may be roasted on Saturday and reheated on Sunday, and be just as palatable. Salads and desserts may be prepared and all ready to Berve.
The salads are better not mixed until the time of serving, but the materials may be all ready the day before.
Soup is quickly prepared, and one may use the canned soups if it is wished to do away with the preparation.
For the Sunday night lunch the man o f the house in many families thinks it great sport to prepare the meal. It may be a very cozy, informal one, toasting bread before the grate fire, or on the electric toaster, using a chafing dish, and everybody enjoys the process of meal getting. This (s a good time to train the older boys and girls to the responsibility, and they w ill like it. Let them ask a guest or two on the nights they are to perform, after they are proficient enough to insure a success. Hospitality is too little exercised in the home in this day of hotels and restaurant dinners, and our young •people need the training. One who entertains friends at the home table gets n -ch more tban be gives in real pleasure.

Phila. War Enthusiasm of Much Local Interest
Stirred by news of the opening of hostilities more than one thousand Philadelphia Italians rushed to the Consulate last Saturday enrolling and signifying their intention to join their fellow countrymen in the great European war at their earliest opportunity. Nearly all these enrolled before working hours.
Announcement was made that a federation of Italian societies in Philadelphia will hold a monster mass meeting in Musical F’und Hall Sunday afternoon. Eighty- five societies will be represented.
Chevalier C. C. A. ZJaldi; president of the federation will act as chairman and states that it is their intention to raise funds for the Italian Red Cross and for other purposes. Some of the funds, it is rumored will be used to purchase an aeroplane for the Italian army.
Chevalier ila ld i was a visitor in Belmar last summer and is the father in-law of one of our well known summer residents and a former property owner, Charles Gwynne Douglass of Philadelphia.

Early Showed Greatness.Andrew Jackson was a marvel of
precocity. He carried a flintlock musket, as a soldier of the revolutionary army, at the age of 14. A t 23 he was appointed b j Washington district attorney of Tennessee. He was a United States Senator at 30. He did not reach the presidency until he was 62.—Sunday Magazine.

Heavy Rainfall Gives Quick Germination and S teady Growth.
The magnificent forests of Douglas fir in Washington—it is called Washington fir there and Oregon fir (its commercial name) in Oregon—do not have an equal anywhere else in the world. This is not surprising if we take into account the rainfall, which in the Puget Sound country Is about fifty-three inches, while up in the higher Cascades near Seattle it is 100 inches and even reaches 150 Inches.
Under such climatic conditions the seeds of trees germinate readily and all trees continue to make a vigorous growth. These grer.l forests, says Horticulture, are due to the climatic conditions of the region.
On the east slope of the Cascades the rainfa”. is much less, and here the bull pine Is found, interspersed with beautiful white pines, which sometimes reaches a height of 200 feet and a diameter of 6 feet, although there are many trees over 100 feet high and 3 or 4 feet in diameter. The tree resembles our Eastern white pine, but is more slender and with slender spreading or somewhat drooping branches.

Valuable Chinese Medicine.Curious experiences occasionally
come to administrators of even so prosaic a department as the customs. A Sydney correspondent tells of one which recently befell Mr. N. Colston Lockyer, the Federal Assistant Comptroller-General. Above the mantelpiece in his office is nailed a sun dried lizard. It had been imported by an enterprising Chinese merchant, who desired Mr. Lockyer to take particular note of it and instruct his officers as to its nature and the amount of duty chargeable on similar consignments in bulk. The Chinaman explained that dried lizard was a very important item in the pharmacopaeia of the Celestial Empire, and when ground to powder possessed medicinal properties of untold value. The officers of the department were at a loss to know how to classify the article, their choice apparently lying between drug, preserved food and prohibited vermin. Mr. Lockyer cut the Gordian kne* by classifying the "medicine lizard” as "unenumerated” and admitting it duty free.

Valuable Common Land.No fewer than 1,509 towns and vil
lages in Germany still own and have owned down from the middle ages so much common land that their inhabitants pay neither rates nor taxes. Five hundred of these townships and villages derive so great a rental from their lands that they are able, in addition, to pay every citizen, on New Year’s day, a bonus of from $25 to $100 as his share of the surplus revenues.

Under Ha l le lu l ia ManagementThere seems to be some misunderstand-
about services at the A. M. E. Tabnacle. A new preacher was announced for last Sunday and services were held. The former pastor Rev. Charles Wilson says he found the doors of the church had been unscrewed and evidently the building had been used. Rev. Wilson says the church belongs to him, he and his friends having paid for it and he holds the deed and pays the expenses, and lawyers tell him to screw up the doors again if he wants to. Rev. Wilson says he intended to turn the church over to the conference on right treatment, and that preaching services will te conducted by him again beginning Sunday week.
