is usually very close to four times the
cost of the lumber to build it, We
have kept the figures in every case,
and found that the lumber and the car
penters' bills were very nearly equal,
and together amounted to almost ex-
actly half of the total cost of the house,
finished and ready for occupation.)
But even admitting that sheep-farm-
ing in New England can be proved
on paper, or under exceptional circum-
stances-to pay fair profit, we notice
that no allowance is made, in any of
these figurings, for the depredations of
dogs. Yet the last report of the Con-
nectcut Board of Agriculture gives
demonstrative proofs that the sheep
industry in that state is in rapid pro-
cess of determination, solely on ac-
count of these depredations. Connec-
ticut has a stringent dog law, as well
enforced as any law is, or is likely to
be- Probably some improvements
might be made in it, but if they were
such as would be likely to be effective,
the dog-owning class would find way
to defeat it, somehow The rich men
and women of the country are, with
the rough element, all on the side of
the dog, as against the sheep farmer.
1t is indeed astonishing how we, in
nj of TO ha
bears, wolves and wildcats, and putting
bounties on the heads Of foxes, crows
and woodChucks for the benefit of agri-
culture, allow, almost without restraint,
the breeding of animals fully as de-
structive to sheep as any wild var
mint" ever known on this continent.
The political papers are full of the wool
question, and of the effect of the tariff
on the wool interest, and yet not one
word is said about the real reason why
we do not produce enough. wool to sup
ply our manufacturers with home
produced raw material.
We know right well what we are say
ing. While not sanguine of large
profits, even without dog in the state,
we are so situated that sheep would 90
better with what we want to do on our
farms than anything else. Our larger
farm is situated from two to six
miles from four villages. We find by
inquiry that dogs from all these villages
habitually range at night over all the
farms in our neighborhood, and defeat
every attempt to keep sheep on them,
unless carefully penned every night.
This extra labor in caring for the flock
takes away about all the profit naturally
to be expected from sheep, and forces
all the farmers, even on the toughest
and least-suited farms, into dairying-
simply and only because dogs do not
prevent that industry 1t is dogs, and
dogs only, which prevent the in
crease and cause the decrease in
sheep-husbandry in New England -
country otherwise admirably suited
to it, Protected from dogs, raw mate
rial for our factories would be plentiful
here at home, while the product of
mutton would supply vast amount of
cheap and excellent food to the opera
tives. In our opinion the tariff ques-
ton, compared with the dog question,
is a mere hy-speck, so far as wool
growing is concerned. We wish our
readers would sail in and discuss this
matter in these columns. All sides
shall have fair show.

A SCRAP OF PAPER SAVES HER
LIFE.-It was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.
She was in the last stages of cOnsump-
ton, told by physicians that she was
incurable and could live only a short
time; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On piece of wrapping paper
she read of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and got sample bottle, it helped her,
she bought large bottle, it helped her
more, bought another and grew better
fast, continued its use and is now
strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing
one hundred forty pounds. For fuller

How to Cook Onions.

Onions are more delicate in flavor
and easily digested if the water is
changed when they are half done; it
should be boiling and tea-spoonful of
salt be added when the second water is
put to them. When they will pierce
easily with fork, drain them and ar
range in heated vegetable dish and
pour on them hot sauce made by
thickening pint of boiling milk with
two table-spoonfuls of flour rubbed to a
paste with two table-spoonfuls of butter.
When smooth dip up some of the boil

into the milk till it thickens.

RHEUMATISM is undoubtedly caused
by Tactic acid in the blood. This acid
attacks the fbrous tissues and causes
the pains and aches in the back, shout
ders, knees, ankles, hips and wrists.
Thousands of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla positive cure for
rheumatism. This medicine, by its
purifying action, neutralizes the acidity
of the blood and also builds up and
strengthens the whole body.

domestic Service,

In 1881 there were in the United
Kingdom 1000, 900 servants; in 1851
their number was only a few over a
million and a quarter. More signih-
cant still is the circumstance that,
while during the decade lS7l-Sl the
general population increased by more
than IA per cent, the ranks Of the do
mestic servants were reinforced by
less than one per cent. This snot be-
cause the great households call for
fewer servants than they did in the
Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries,

of democratic and socialistic ideas.

It Is 6n0wu that many persons. after
shutting and rubbing their shod feet
upon a carpet for 4 few moments in
lively manner, can light a gas jet from

But Professor Kirk tells a story which
makes that performance small indeed.
He quotes a letter which narrates how,
in 1902, Gen. Dayton. United States SEN
ator from New Jersey, one night pulled
Off his. silk stockings, underneath which
he vote t3&ther' pair of thin wooden
ons~' dnd went to bed He noticed an

snaps as he drew OF the silk stockings.
But III the morning. behOId-a wonder!
The silk stockings were burned to coal:
one Of his slippers was also consumed,
the carpet was burned through, and the
floor beneath was roasted to charcoal.
There was no possible way for the fire to
start except by electricity from Gen.
Dayton's feet. In fact. he had struck
his own silk stockings. by lightning and
consumed them. An expensive scientific
experiment it must have been in those
days, when men wore long stockings
and knee breeches.

Spain now threatens to give Column

threatens the same because Columbus

lions ought to celebrate Columbus, both
of them. Italy whistled him down the
wind with scorn when he spoke of new
world beyond seas, and drove him
out of her borders as crank. Spain
cheated him out of all his possessions,
even his glory, after he had given her a
continent, and finally starved him to

Dear Woman.

Men, laundering creatures, might
never know women had any faults, only
for the women themselves. So, by pro-
vision of Il merciful providence, women
are sent along to point out to the uni
verse the faults, great and small, of
their own sex. Men have shown them
selves. in many instances, willing to adj
vance ladies to places of trust and re-
sponsibility, in schools, factories and
elsewhere where girls are employed.
What then? Immediately there is a
tlareup, The factory girl vows she
won't work under no woman" Are
women suggested for responsible places
in schools? Assistant lady teachers at
once declare: I'VE don't want a woman
over us. A man is bad enough"
For some three years two ladies of
standing were members of the New
York school board. They did not seek
the appointment, but accepted it when
it was offered, and did their duty, appar-
entity. to the satisfaction of their male
colleagues. At least, no man ever ex-
pressed any dissatisfaction with them.
But now come five lady school teachers,
who say they represent nearly all the
rest, and present a petition to the mayor
protesting against the appointment Of
any more women school commissioners.
They charged against one of the two
that she had never offered any resolu-
ton since she had been in the board.
Her sisters who object to her certainly
present resolution enough to make up
for her lack. The lady teachers further
charge that, through gallantry, the men
in the board are made to he weaklings
by the presence of the feminine commits
sioncrs. Again, one must congratulate
the lady teachers that they, at least, are
not weaklings.
Still another instance of the fine crit
lcal sense of woman against woman ap-
pears in New York. The female princi-
pal of public school there has issued an
edict that the lady teachers in her school
shan't wear bangs. No more shall her
girl pupils. She gives no reason particu
larry, except the woman's reason that it
isn't nice. Further, her assistant teach
ers shall not go out of the building for
luncheon. They must bring their lunch
con and cat it in their own rooms;
otherwise they get together and gossip"
\ disruption of the school is threatened
over these mighty matters.
Now, man might have been principal
Of that school forty years and never
found all this out. But sweet woman

In the world of business affairs, men
are like the pebbles of a river bed, their

perhaps, to the sharp bitsG rock thrown

The world
But the question that occurs to the av-
erage unenlightened masculine mind is
this: If women are as bad as their own
sex make them out to be, then, really,
will it be wise ever to give them any
more wages, rights or responsibilities
than they have now? Rather, would it
not be wisdom to take away even those
they have? In short. will not such Incl
dents have a tendency to put off what
some people call the emancipation Of
women for thousand years?
