| it is likely that the proportionateIy
| large number of deaths among the aged
| in our State is due in some measure to
| the fact that for years the emigration of
young men and young women from
Maine to the Western States and to the
larger cites of New England has been
large. A proportionaualy larger number
of elderly persons are therefore left to
swell the relative death rate of the aged
and consequently the general death rate
INFANTILE DEATH RATES.
In the comparison with Massachusetts
it will be noted that the percentage of
the deaths of children, when compared
with the total mortality, is relatively
small. Now, since infants are easily
affected by noxious influences, partic-
ularly insalubrity of climate and insan-
itary conditions OF domiciles, the intan-
tile death rate of a country, State or a
city is often taken as an index of the
healthfulness of the place. With due
preca utions against error it may be SO
used.
The number OF infants under one year
OF age dying in each 1000 of total popu-
latlon was 2. 5 in Maine and AZ in Massa-
chusetts. The death rate of children
under five years of age was in Maine
and 6.8 in Massachusetts,.
But much. less crude and more
trustworthy method of getting the
death rate for any given age period is,
not to base it upon the general popula-
ton, but upon the number of persons
living at the particular age period.
AS the population by ages at the last
census is not available it is here assumed
that the age distribution of the popula-
ton of our State differed but little in
1890 from that in 1880. In the following
table the death rates of Maine and Mas
sachusetts in 1899 are based upon the es-
timased number in each State of persons
living at the four different age periods:

ing features of the campaign is the joint
debates the rival candidates are holding in
towns and cities all over the state. Sena-
tor Butler was born near Greenville, 5. c.,
5S years ago. He received a college edu-
cation, studied law and was admitted to
the bar in 1857, when he was but 81 years
of age In 1850 he was elected to the
state legislature and the following year en-
tered the Confederate service as captain of
cavalry in the Hampton legion
He lost his right leg at the battle of
Brandy Station in June, 1863 and during
the war rose to the rank of major general.
He was sent to the United States senate in
1877 and has been there ever since. Mr..
Butler has long been considered one of the
handsomest men I'm the senate. His hair
and mustachc are gray, and he has decid-
edly Byronic forehead. He comes of a well
known North Carolina family. His grand
father, General William Butler, served
with distinction in the Revolution and the
war of 1912. His uncle, Andrew p. But
Ter, was in the United States senate from
1916 to 1857, and Pierce Butler, another
uncle, was killed at Churubusco. His ia
ther William Butler, was once a member
of congress.
The romance of the Butler family oc-
Cured during the Revolution, when Miss
Behethland Moore, a courageous girl #
Is, accompanied by her little brother and
girl friend, set out at midnight in a
canoe and travelled miles to the camp of a
small body of Continental troops to warn
them that a party of marauding Tories
mcditated surprising them. The little
band of Conunentals was Differed by VIII
liam Butler grandfather of the present
senator, who called next day to see the
brave young girl who had risked her life
to save him and his companions. The
young couple met, loved and despite the
opposition of Moore pere We're married.
In 1890 Senator Butler attracted consid-
cradle attention by introducing bill fot
/ the emigration of the colored people from
the south. The bill urged the dispersion
of the negroes throughout the United
States and the deportation to Africa OF
these who desired to go to that country.

CHRISTIAN CULTURE.
THE WORK OF THE YOUNG WOMEN's
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

1t Provides Employment as Well as Social,
Educational and Religious Opportunities
For Girls-Athletics and Summer Schools.
A Growing and Prosperous Organization.
The first Young Women's Christian as
ISOLATION came into being in 1872, but it
was not until 1856 that the International
Young Women s Christian association was
formed. During the eight years that have
elapsed since that time the international
association has grown steadily and solidly,
and now there arc over 300 associations
in 3S states, in 10 of which there are thor
oughly organized state associations. Some
of these state associations support travelling
secretaries
The work of the Young Women's Chris
tian association is modelled closely on that
of the Young Mems Christian association
and has been quite as helpful to young
women at times when help has been most
needed as the latter organization has been
to young men The departments of organi-
cation are the city and college associations
There is hardly town of any size in the
United States without one of these organi-
cations, all of which in each state are con
trolled by the state association. These in
turn are members of the international as
ISOLATION, and it works in harmony with
similar associations in FIVE other coun-
tries.
One of tie most important duties of
each local association, perhaps the most
important one, is to provide friendless
young women who may apply at the local
headquarters with a temporary home un-

but with his face to the sky. with his
hand clasped in that of his brother man,
helping him to his feet and pointing
him beyond the stars. When culture
embodied gives itself in practical ways
to humanity it will have reached its
highest possibility. An upholstered cul-
ture, lowery. bed-of-ease culture, a
gently-reclining culture. beautiful,
literary, esthetical, poetical, soothed,
smoothed and quieted culture is the
most contemplate seiishness the sun
ever looks down upon. Shame upon the
spirit of it. The divorce, far too com
mon, between culture and life is fraught
with peril. The law of abundant life
is to give. The heart never stores up
the blood that courses through it, but
rather sends it pulsating on its way.
The truly great are they who serve the
most. All great seers and doors have
been benefactors of the race. SO alone
Is true culture to lift mankind. The

glory it fills all the valleys and lights all
the dark places of the earth. Men of
culture, this may be your Joy and glory.
Here lie the true zest and power of life.
So only shall be ushered in that better
day for which we long and pray. The
biggest ambition, the most God-like aspi-
ration of every man of culture will be
to hasten its coming.

ASPARAGUS PLANTING.

OF all the early vegetables none find
reader sale than asparagus, as it
comes into the market soon after the
frost has left the ground, and from
that time until the early peas appear
will always find purchasers Mt good,
prices. Ground intended for aspara-
gus should be thoroughly drained,
either naturally or artiicially. Manure
should be worked into the soil to- the
depth of at least two feet by TREMBLING,
and the plant set. SO their crowns are
at least three inches below the surface.
Fall planting is preferable to spring,
as the roots become set, will start much
sooner, and make better growth that
year than if the planting is delayed
until spring. Plants of one or two
years growth can be bought of any
seedman very cheaply, but if the
farmer prefers to raise his own plnnts
the seed may be sown in the fall or
early in the spring, as soon as the
ground can be worked, in drills one
foot apart, and covered with IN inch
of soil. Thin the plants. to three
inches apartin the drill ms soon as they
become of good size. The roots can
be removed to the permanent bed
either the first or second year. -Ameri-

THE COCKS conn Z

The cocks comb lisa dainty 5bonne
bouche, which is usually thrown away
in American markets with the, head.
In Paris. however. the combs are care
fully cut out at tho head and arc sold
by the pound at n handsome price. 1t
is probable that any poultry dealer
would, on request, savesenough cock S
heads to furnish combs for the pur-
pose of nm entree. ss slsos..e~
To prepare the cocks combs, it is
necessary first to blanch them. As
they arc quite small il requires Mt
least pint OF more for mn ordinary
dish. Put them i'll enough cold water
to cover them, set them over u sharp
fire, and watch them till tho skins be-
gin to loosen and rise, Stir them all
tho time. Then pour on cold water
to stop the cooking at once; other
wise the blood will coagulate and thoy
will not blanch. Skin the combs,i let
them soak i'll salted water, changing
it every two hours until they nre per-
fectly white A favorite way of cook
ing the combs is to fry them. They
should be dipped in frying batter and
fried in abundance of boiling fat for
about three minutes or until they arc
a golden brown. French cooks take tho
trouble to slit each ono and put in IL

DIFFERENCE IN YIELD.

Referring to the recent cheese con-
test at the Columbian Fair, the Lon
don Live Stock Journal says Tho COW
with the best individual record made
almost seven times more than the
worst of seventy7fve. When we take
into consideration the fact that all the
COWS were doubtless selected ones, it
almost passes belief that such ID; diff
ference could exist. The thought nat
urally occurs: If in such lot of Sc
lected COWS one can produce almost
sevenfold more than. another what
must be the difference in the ordinary
farmers stock throughout the country ?
In n general way, farmers get to know
the good mixers in their herds. and
in the same general way they weed out
and draft those that are considered
inferior; but few, too few, of our
breeders, whether of ordinary stock
or pedigree herds have brought the
beam, scales and weights into opera
ton to supply definite tests. Every
thing points to the whole farming in
dustry as needing to be conducted
on more definite and scientific prin-
ciples, and in no department connected
with the farm is there more need of
absolute weighbridge data than that
which ought to refer to each and every
COW kept.
