Learn 60 Grow Old Gracefully.

There Is a most admirable lesson
contained in the following extract from
Hannah More's STRUCTURES on the
Modern System of Female Education:"
"Since, then, there Is a season when
the youthful must cease to be young,
and the beautiful to excite admiration,
to learn to grow old gracefully Is, per-
haps, one of the rarest and most beau
tiful acts that can be taught to wom-
an. And 1t must be confessed, 1t Is a
most severe trial for those women to
lay down their beauty, who have moth.
ing else to take up. 1t Is for this sober
season of life that education should
lay up its rich resources. However
disregarded they may have been, they.
will be wanted now. When admirers
fall away and flatterers become mute,
the mind will be driven to retire with
In itself; and IL 1t finds nc entertain
ment at home, 1t will be driven back
again upon the world, with increased
force. Yet, forgetting this, do we not
seem to educate our daughters exclu-
sively for the transient period OF
youth, when 1t Is to maturer life we
ought to advert? Do we not educate
for a crowd, forgetting that they are
to live at home-for n crowd, and not
for themselves--for show, and not for
use-for time. and not for eternity?"

THE DINGLEY TARIFF.

Com m eudation from Republicans and
Responses to Democratic Criticism.
The Democratic contemporaries that
refer to the measure as a poorly di-
gested piece of legislation do not point
out that the Ways and Means Commit
tee had been at work on the measure
fully three months before the bill was
reported. They forget, also, to state
that during its consideration by that
committee everybody sufficiently inter-
ested to seek hearing on the subject
was given hearing by the committee,
and that the long period from the time
the committee began its work until 1t
reported was one of practically contin-
nous suggestion, comparison and dis
cussion.-Pittsburg Commercial Ca
zette.
Commenting on the Dingley bill, the
full text of which has been published
in Germany, leading Berlin journal
says:
IF this bill becomes a law Europe,
especially Germany, must feel 1t to be
an intentional blow in the face. A large
part of our exports are thereby prohib-
tied and another part are rendered ex-
tremely difficult. Many of our indus
tries will be forced to reorganize COM
pletely their system of production,
raise the quality OF their goods and
specialize. This will require a period
of experiments and delays. In the
meanwhile much of the commerce and
industry will be lost"
This Ii pitiful, indeed. from German

Protection to Shipping.

Gradually we excluded foreign ships
from our coastwise trade by prohibit
tive tonnage dues and finally in 1917
we absolutely prohibited, by law, for
eign vessels from engaging in any
trade between American ports. The
consequence of this more than century
old prohibitive protection Of our domes-
tic shipping is that we have the largest
domestic water-borne commerce in the
whole world, our freight charges for
inland water-borne transportation are
lower than anywhere else in the world,
and the magnitude of our shipping is
only equaled by its utility, its safety
and its beauty. Why not do as well by
our foreign shipping?

Stir the Soil.

Next to mulching there is nothing
like constant stirring of the soil.
have found many workmen in gardens
totally unacquainted with the princi-
Piles of hoeing. The hoe is drawn over
a surface already hard, cutting off
weeds close to the ground. Then the
weeds are raked off, leaving the ground
in really worse condition than it was
before, for the weeds shaded the sur
face If they did rob the ground. Hoe
ing should be fully as much to loosen
the soil as to destroy weeds. Every
stroke Of the hoe should loosen up an
inch or more Of soil, and this loose soil
should not be raked down too fine, or
the first heavy rain will beat 1t down
very hard. One would hardly believe
what a help constant cultivation of this
kind is to herbaceous and all other
plants. And when rain comes the
water is all taken up where it falls.
Good mulching preserves the looseness
of the soil in the same way. l am sure
that very many more of our lovely ma
