FROM THE EDITORS CHAIR.
Little Discussion OF Whether Woman's
Progress Has Helped the World.

| Progress Has Helped the World.
One of the subjects recently given for the
consideration of Loyal Home Workers was the
question: "Has Wcman's Progress Helped the
! World?" By woman's progress is meant her
emergence from the dugout aud tent of bar.
barism to the house and home of a wider civiIi-
cation. and from these. again, into the busting
activities of the universal Domus. whose vault
is the eternal ties and whose walls are the
ever-lengthenina horizons of unbounded and
boundless possibilities of human thought and
action.
The real question should be, Has human
progress helped the world? Since the changed
condition of women is not SO much dependent
upon their own endeavors as upon those Of the
men who have changed tbeir dugouts into
matched novels, and these again into stone
castles and marble palaces.
Men and women in any real advance have
always gone marching on together. 1t is only
when there has been halt in the march, and
the carping conservative has usurped the power
of the eagle-eyed pioneer, that women have been
eolered and corrallcd, while men have gone for
ward alone in their splendid strength and en-
ergy. only to lapse again int barbarism, because
the restraining and persuading ties of wife and
mother aud little child were no longer around
and about them. Tho world of business and
social pleasure; Of society, custom and law; of
SuuiSi, sotdtc, anu S1oNcTHtHeut, Is 1uuUlteIy
better since woman has been a part of it. She
is both the radical who will endure sacrifice
gladly when principle is involved, and the
conservative who gathers up all that is good
and boards it with her household gods
In no way has the progress of woman been
more distinctively felt than in our public
schools. There was a time when the master
with the rod and the ferrule was supreme. The
brawniest man was the best teacher, because he
alone could fog the big boys into Subsection
and make the little girls cover before brute
force The woman came with her prettiness
and persuasion, aud behind her o reservoir of
moral force, renewed every morning from the
Divine source. The rod and the ferule are fast
disappearing, or are used for the recalcitrants
only.
The cross and flag have taken the place of
the rod and the ferule in our best governed
schools. Thus has been inaugurated new age
OF reason, teaching the beauty and value of
self.control. We are learning that education
is harmonious self.deveiopment and that he
who sets the thought currents in motion to
take hold OF high truths Is the real teacher,
instead OF he who trains the memory in the
way the parrot OF performing dog are taught.
In educational literature along these lines our
woman educators are giving to the world the
key to the new educational philosophy as only
woman can. Everywhere it is women who are
receiving and applying the principles Of educa-
tional evolution just as they were the first to
receive and apply the underlying truths of
Christianity.

son is more severe upon the fowls

No season is more severe upon the fowls
than the melting time. The greatest of
care must be taken to keep them in good
condition. 1t is a drain on their vital
powers to furnish the material for full
coat of new feathers. There is apt to be a
laxity of attention to their feeding during
this period on account of their cessation
from laying, when in fact there should be
more care taken. IT is good plan 10 select
all the fowls that it is desired 10 Winter or
keep for breeding and market the balance.
This will cut down the expense of the
moltins season. Hens which molt early, if
they are in good condition and are comfort
ably housed, will nearly always make the
best Winter LAYERS, while The later molters
will rarely lay until Spring. These latter
should have PLACE where they can keep
warm and dry, and be given an abundance
of nutritious food.
The period of molting may be shortened
by careful attention and supply of food
rich in muscle. bone and feather forming
materials rather than fa-niaking foods.
Always provide pure, fresh water and keep
the quarters clean. Wheat, oats. linseed
meal, bone meal, meat scraps, and fresh
ground bone make better ioCds at this time
than corn or anything that may be cousid-
cred fattening ration. While it may not
be best TO feed the chickens all they viii
eat, in nearly all cases liberal feeding and
the supplying Of a good variety Will be
found the most desirable thing to do.
The hens need 10 take sufficient exercise
to be healthy. In many cases good plan
is to give them tonic, and nothing is better
than Douglas Mixture in their drinking
water, or a few drops Of iron may be sub
stitnted. IF these are not easily gotten, a
few rusty nails thrown into the drinking
vessel will answer.
Cochfns.
The four Cochin classes are very popular
with breeders. They are second to the
Brahma classes in the meat breeds, weighing
but pound lighter than the l. ght Brahma.

An Unfaliing Sign of Longevity.

Starting from the base of the big
toe there is a distinct line. That is
the life line. In one foot it will curve
along until it terminates under the
instep far toward the lower base of
the little toe. This means long life.
II broken in the hollow of the foot,
it denotes sickness at middle age,
and if it terminates in the hollow of
the foot it means short life. This
line is the most interesting one on
the foot. The experiments that have
been conducted lately have proved
this to be an almost unfailing read
ing of longevity.
