The Ideality of independence.

The ideal Kansas farmer is the one to
get along with mighty little cash. He
raises his own flour, potatoes, meat, and
cabbage, makes his own butter and is
independent of trusts and combines.
The more the farmers approach TO this
ideal the more independent they are.

Anoted Norwegian statistician, Professor
A. N. Klaer, has recently been making a
very interesting study In relation to the
mortality of the married and unmarried.
The result of his inquiry shows that during
the twelfth and thirteenth year Of exist
ence the death rate Of girls stands only
slightly higher than that of boys OF about
the same ago. From the sixteenth year on
thedeath rate Of males increases, until at the
age Of 10 or colt Is more than double that
OF the five previous years. This marked
rise of the death rate, in which consump-
ton Is an important factor, continues until
the twenty-third year, when 1t diminishes.
This clearly marked period of decrease in
the death rate Of young Norwegian men is
also noticeable In other nationalitics, but
not to SO great an extent.
Upon careful examination into the
cause OF this variation OF the death rate
among men Of various nations, he finds
that 1t occurs at o period when gradually
they enter In increasing numbers the mar
ried state As will be seen from the Nor
wegian and Swedish mortality tables, the
death rate Of married men at the period re-
ferred to is decidedly less than that of the
unmarried Although the death rate OF
married and unmarried males Is constantly
advancing, there Is no question that the
entry of 80 largo proportion Of the male
population into the more favorable condi-
lions Of life which the married state pre-
sents exercises decided beneficial effect on
the ratio. --PhiladeIphia Press

The American Goshawlt.

Very different In appearance and habits
from the larger species Is the goshawk, or,
as he Is ominously styled In northern New
England, the "blue hen hawk OF rasher
slender build when full grown hawk Of
this sort measures from twenty to twenty
four inches In length. 1t is blush slate
color above; below, white, crossed with
many zigzag slate colored lines. Though
more numerous In the mountains of the
far west and In the British possessions the
goshawk Is not uncommon In our north
ernmost states I'm fall and winter. and oc-
casionally even builds its most In that re-
giop. It loves the woods, and LIS oftener
met In the shade OF the dense pine and
spruce woods than any other hawk. For
strength and bravery this hawk Is not sur
passed by any bird OF prey.
1t feeds upon ducks, pigeons, hares,
grouse and poultry. 1t Is the type Of a
true hunting falcon, flying rapidly few
feet above the ground. and descending
with swift rush on the luckless prey de-
tected by its sharp eyes. It Is daring to
rashness, and uniuoky Is the farmer whose
poultry yard becomes familiar ground to
one Of these hawks. Almost before the
frightened fowls have had time to sound
the alarm it has selected and seized it's
victim and Is away.
Audubon once saw one Of these falcons
rush upon dock Of the birds called
grackies as they were crossing the Ohio
river. The birds Ia their fright collected
into compact mass. the hawk dashed
among them and, selling first one and
then another, killed Ave before the flock
could escape To the woods on tho further
bank. -H. w. Henshaw In ST. Nicholas.
