wealth the True Ba,l. for rifles.

II seems TO me that IL would be much
better, and far more in keeping with the
spirit Of the times, TO make all titles a
question Of pounds, sbillings and pence.
We have gone q good way in that direction.
II man can make 50 many thousand
pounds out Of beer, or railway contracting,
or selling newspapers, he may have any
title he pleases, provided he goes the right
way TO work.
But wedon't do the thing systematically.
IL isn't on a businesslike footing. Very
often the man who gets title has pre-.
yiously received vast sums Of public money
for doing little or nothing and even when
he procures the title by his own money the
payment does not go into the public treas
ury-as ii ought to- lie pays IL to the
party funds, or something Of that kind.
The system that prevails in some Of the
minor European states is vastly more sem
sible.
We ought TO have n fixed tarifT-so many
hundred thousand pounds for dukedom,
80 many for n marquisate, 30 many thou
sand for an eardom and so on. The money
paid for the titles would go into the CON
solidated fund, and every Dobleman would
have pro rata solid title 10 public re-
spect. When we abolish the house OF lords
expect that we shall have to adopt some
plan Of this kind, for though we may be
able to do without the house / doubt
whether Englishmen will ever be able to
do without the lords.-lIenry Labouchere

The father Of each was in trade, and APP

neglected, and we know nothing in their
after training that conferred on them their
perfect knowledge Of good breeding and
distinguished manners. Neither OF them
was happily married. Each became man
ager, author, actor. Each produced con
siderable number Of authenticated dra.
matte works. Each was careless about
publishing his works, or rather objected
to do SO, lest they should be acted by rival
dramatic companies. Plays Of each were
collected by actors and first published in
complete form after the death Of the au,
thors.

those who We're in the country when the
Revolution began. All this will serve ns
an introduction to the latest descendant ot
Miles Standish to attract attention.
This is Mr., j. v Standish the new presi-
dent of Lombard university, at Galesburg,
Ills. He was born in Woodstock, VT, Feb,
25, 1875; was graduated from Norwich uni.
versity in 1917, and in 1854 was made pro.
fessor in mathematics and astronomy in
Lombard university, a position he held
till June, 1891. He then Travelled year
and returned to become president Of the
college In 1857 he was elected president
of the Illinois State Teachers association,
and has served as editor of The State
Journal OF Education.
1t is interesting to learn that the de-
scendants of Miles Standish have gen
orally maintained high standard in edu-
cation. Professor Standish began teach
ing at the age OF sixteen, and has made il
his life business. The descendants Of Pas
tor John Robinson ard his famous brother
are said to be numbered by thousands, and
IL is claimed that they and other Puritan
lives have sustained the high character Of
the race to wonderful degree.

WOMEN AS AeRIcULTURIsTs.
Three Connecticut Women Who Have
Made Money Out of Farming.

Three Connecticut Women Who Have
Made Money Out of Farming.
So many stalwart young men leave rural
New England for the cities and the west
that women in those sections often develop
astonishing capacities. As a rule mankind
only do what they are obliged to in the
line of work, and it will generally be found
that the successful women farmers who
occasion ally astonish the country began
the business as necessity, though they
coon learned to like it,
Connecticut has an unusually large
number of these women, few OF whom
may be cited here as good specimens. Mrs.
Hester Peck, of Grassy Hill, was not really
a farmer by necessity, for when her hus-
band died twenty years ago he left two
farms and no children; but she liked the
business, and being rather delicate in
| frame believed it better to stick to the
farm. She has prospered to wonderful
degree, is now in robust health and has
| two of the finest farms in the Connecticut
valley.
She decided early that hay was in the
| long run the most profitable crop in New
England, and her farms were soon known
do lut Dtsb grass bLthb oCSblOlls
this she naturally drifted into stock rails
ing and now has herd that is noted in
her neighborhood She has also devoted
much attention to Strawberries and rasp-
berries, and during the fruit season drives
fourteen miles twice every week to dispose
of her picking. She is very valuable mem
Der of the church and community, highly
respected for her Christian character and
liberality, while in the details of farming
her advice is taken as the best by young
| farmers.
A more remarkable case is that Of Mrs
Harriet Crosby, of Chestnut Plain, who is
but twenty-five years old and has been g
successful farmer for eight years. She wa
the oldest of three children, all girls, and
was away at school when her father died

and directed the help till she got able tc
hire all the work done. She has paid the
mortgage, drained the swamp land, built
new residence and barns, and renovated
the entire farm, keeping her two sisters al
school all the time, and now has 225 acres
under cultivation.
