Choosing a Sweetheart.

A lady who has the credit of being
yersed in matters of the heart gives these
few hints for the novice in love-they are
applicable to both sexes:
Do not if you have always admired fair
people more than dark, fall in love with q
dark person The fact that you have al
ways preferred fair people shows that your
best chance of happiness would be with a
fair life partner
For instance, the man who has ALWAYS
admired small, slim girls should not
choose for his wife tall and well devel-
oped girl. Neither should the girl who
thinks that man should be tall and
broad be persuaded to accept man who
possesses neither of these qualities
People of different compilations and
physiques will act in totally different WAYS
under identically the same circumstances.
and it, is easy to believe that every man
and every woman knows instinctiveIy
with what style of helpmate he OR she is
most likely to live in happiness.
Happy marriages have undoubtedly been
known when these rules have not been
followed; but, generally speaking, it is un-
wise for any one, in such serious matter
as marriage, to disregard in moment of
passion the fixed ideas and instincts of
lifetime. -Edinburgh Scotsman.

Cottonseec Arear--soja Bean Meal.

A brief report on an experiment to
compare cottonseed meal and sofa bean
meal on two lots of four COWS each in
alternating periods Of three weeks comes
from the Massachusetts Hatch station:
The COWS on the sofa bean meal gave
rather the most milk. The cottonseed
butter was Of firmer texture than the
other, but was, by the verdict OF three
families working independently and
without knowledge Of the nature of the
difference between the samples. decided
ly inferior TO that made from the sofa
bean cream. The latter was of higher
color and much more agreeable texture
and favor. The cottonseed butter had a
greasy feeling in the mouth, while the
other was Of agreeable texture. A Larger
percentage Of the total fat in the milk
was recovered in the cream from the
cows fed on cottonseed meal than In the
cream from those fed on bean meal. It
would appear from this experiment. that
the sofa bean meal is superior to cotton
seed meal as food either for milk or
butter production.

for coal gas) there was no difficulty ex-
perienoed in keeping the lantern cool; in
fact, in spite of the great light power, it
did not seem as hot as when a kerosene
lamp is used. 1t was also possible to SO
close up the lantern that while set in the
very center of the audience, no light was
allowed to escape and annoy the people
near or behind the lantern. Four pounds
Of calcium carbide yielded more than
enough gas for an entire evenings exhi-
bition. The apparatus was of course ex-
detrimental, but it is expected that it will
be developed into a simple, compact,
light weight machine, consisting of a
ank, say 10 inches in diameter by 4 feet
long, with small cylinder (perhaps 3
Inches in diameter) fastened to its side,
n which the carbide and water will be
placed, and valve to govern the flow of
gas into the burners. Such an arrange
ment can be easily transported, will not
se very expensive, and will never wear
nut. All the owner would have to do
would be to put pounds of carbide and
shs necessary water (about the same
amount by weight) into the machine,
Dlose it up, connect to the barners and
turn the gas Oh. When the charge be-
comes exhausted, take out the lime left
In the machine and begin over again.
The expenditure. aside from water and
the slight trouble involved, will amount
10 the cost Of pounds of carbide, which
at $50 per ton would be just ten cents.

THE ARMENiANS.
A Gifted People Who Have Played o Con-
siderable Part In History.

The Armenlans are a civilized people, a
people of great natural gifts, and a people
who have played considerable part in
history. Since their ancient monarchy,
which had suffered severely in the long
and desolating wars between the Roman
and Persian empires from the third to the
seventh century of our era, was finally de-
stroyed by the Seljukian Turks, large
part of the race has been forced to migrate
from its ancient seats at the headwaters of
the Euphrates, TiSris and Aras Some Of
them went southwest to the mountain
businesses of Cilicia, where another Ar
menlan kingdom grew up in the twelfth
century, Others drifted into Persia
Others moved northeastward and now
form large, industrious and prosperous
population in Russian Transcaucasia,
where many have entered the military or
civil service of the car and risen, as the
Armenians used to rise long ago in the
byzantine empire, to posts of distinction
and power. Russia's three best generals
In her last Asiatic campaigns against the
Turks were Armenians
Others again have scattered themselves
over the cities of Asia Minor and south
eastern Europe where much of the local
trade is in their hands. But large num-
Der, roughly estimated at from /, 800, 900
to /, 700, 600. remain in the old fatherland
round the great lake of Van, and on the
plateaus and elevated valleys which stretch
westward from Mount Ararat to Erzerum
and Erzinghian. Here they are an agri-
cultural and, to less extent, a pastoral
population, leading a simple, primitive
life and desiring nothing more than to be
permitted to lead 1t in peace and in fdel-
ity to that ancient church which has been
to them the symbol of nationality as we'll
as the guide of life for 16 centuries. Hon.

GEROME'S PERSONALITY.
An Afable Man, With Military Manner
and Distinguished Air.

In person M. Gerome is a wiry, medium
sized man, with fine presence and very
Sbldierlike in his erect carriage His face
is strong and full of character, his snap
ping eyes are searching and stern, and his
fine head Of gray hair and military mus
taohe give him quite the appearance of a
cavalry officer. Courteous manners, great
afability and a most distinguished air
make him an ideal type q gentleman. At
q most absurdly early hour when only
milkmen, bakers and laborers are stirring,
he may be seen in the Bots de Boulogne,
or on the Champs Elysees, astride of a
handsome horse. taking his morning exer-
else. but long before the gay world of
Paris is idling over its morning cup of
coffee the artist has returned and is busily
engaged before his easel or with his model
ing tools.
Twice each week he gives his forenoon
to his pupils at the Government School of
Fine Arts on the Rue Bonaparte. His
presence is eagerly awaited, and his ar
rival is the signal for absolute silence. On
his entrance and after his hat and coat
have been taken by one of the scholars,
without loss of time he at once goes at the
work of criticism, in which he is model
OF brevity and conoiseness. His unerring
eye at cnoc detects the faults and wrong
tendencies of each student and nothing
whatsoever escapes him. A pupil may de-
ceiVe himself, but not the master. Kindly
advice TO the serious, stinging rebukes to
trihers, pleasant encouragement to hard
workers and useful counsel to progressive
men-such are the results of his visits.
He is very liberal in his ideas and gladly
welcomes any style of work SO long as it is
healthy, honest and sincere. He takes
great pride in the efforts of the pupils I'M
der him and does not hesitate to climb
many pairs of stairs to the most humble
little studio to correct and advise some
poor, struggling chap at work on picture,
and Gerome will sit and chat with him
and give him the benefit of his years of ex-
perience. His kindness and consideration
to Americans in his studio are proverbial.

Hoeber, in St. Nicholas.

THE EDUCATOR WOMAN.
Americans Admitted to the Berlin Univer-
sity Lectures.

The Prussian Minister of Education.
Dr' julius Bosse, has given yet another
PROOF Oh MS liberal attitude towards
students, regardless of sex, by granting
permission to contingent of sixty -seven
American women to attend certain win
ter Lectures at the University of Berlin.
ms apparent "favoritism'' to our coun-
tryWomen has drawn forth a protest from
German women, many of whom have
been excluded from the sa1ne course.
There seems little doubt that German
women who desire university instruc-
ton meet with every obstacle that custom
and law permit from the hands of Ger
man professors.
What might seem like temporary
check to the movement for the higher
education of women in Great Britain has
been given by the Royal Colleges of
Physicians and Surgeons, London, in
refusing the petition of the London
School of Medicine for Women for the
mission of it's students to the examine
tions and diplomas of these professional
colleges. While it is true that the students
of the London School of Medicine for
Women may obtain legal status by pass
ing the examinations of London Uniyer-
sity or the Society of Apothecaries, they
are still SO far handicapped by ancient
prejudice and the privileges of vested
rights that, if they desire diploma from
college of physicians or surgeons they
must go to Ireland or Scotland or the
Continent to procure one, thus increasing
needlessly the expense and fatigue of their
examinations. 1t is interesting, there
fore. to find that, in spite of small adverse
majorities, the debates and divisions of
these autocratic bodies register real ad-
vance in general professional opinion as
to the right and fitness of women to be.
come medical practitioners. OF the 1909
fellows present at the Comitia of the
Royal College of Physicians, fifty voted
in favor of the women's petition.

Glowing Tribute to the City by One of Its

Chicago is responsible for this fad which
has got possession of other cities in the
length and breadth of our land. We refer
to the craze which has given us the "great.
er New York" agitation, the "greate1
Providence" the greater Boston," the
"greater Wichita" and so on ad infinitum.
There has never been any talk Of
greater Chicago, for the reason, we sup.
pose that Chicagos greatness has at all
times been regarded as superlative. 1t is
this conceded greatness which has set the
others to thinking, to planning, to schem.
ing. 1t has given birth to the impulse
which inspires other towns and cities to
hump themselves. Chicago is so great that
she has power not only to sustain herself,
but also to provide all the rest of the
country with ambition and energy 1t has
been scientifically demonstrated that
enough nervous energy is wasted daily in
Chicago to conduct all the business Of the
world two weeks at gait more rapid
than that pursued by the average business
man of st. Louis in the discharge of his
affairs.
We see the influence Of Chicago mani
tested very clearly in the fiutter which has
agitated the presidents and trustees OF
eastern colleges ever since Chicago uni
versity came into existence. Before that
happening those eastern fellows didn't
care boob for and didn't say boob to the

Glover Seed Is Cheap.

Glover seed is cheap in number Of
localities. Unfavorable weather for the
past three or four seasons has killed
many clover meadows and pastures.
New England farmers must grow this
crop largely to keep up the fertility Of
their soil, consequently if there should
be reasonable amount Of moisture next
March and April a large acreage will
be seeded to this foliage crop and the
demand for the seed be very great. This
suggests the possibility Of an advance
in price therefor. The New England
Homestead suggests the wisdom Of Sc
curing clover seed now. If drought
should continue, making much seeding
impracticable next year, the seed will
keep all right if properly stored.
