HIRSCH'S NEW ENGLAND FARMS
Progress of the Russian Jews in Agri-
 culture.

Progress of the Russian Jews in Agri' culture.
 | When 1t became known, some years | ago, that the Hirsch fund would assist worthy immigrants who wanted to | make farming their business, many ap- plicants were received from men who ! were anxious to "try their luck in the country, and there was tendency among them toward forming little col onies where the farmers in the new land would feel less homesick, where their neighbors would be of their faith, where the usages, practices and cus- toms of their homes might be contin- ued, and where they could make money like Americans and live like Russians, says the New York Tribune.
 That was the idea of the early bene- ficiary of the Hirsch fund, and that is still the idea of many people, who read of the Hirsch farms in New England A collection of farmhouses with a synagogue for each group, men em- pIoyed to kill cattle according to the Mosaic law, and others to teach the boys to read Hebrew and interpret the
 
 features of the assisted farming dis trict. But a visit to the farms near Hartford, New London, New Haven, North Adams, Pittsfield, or Lewiston, Me, where many of the 600 Russian farms are, will show that the Jewish features have disappeared. Arthur Reichow, the agricultural agent of the Baron De Firsch fund, in speaking of the farmers. said;
 At the colonies the older people work on the farms and the women and chill dren find occupation In the shops At these colonies the cooperation of the manufacturers has again done much to aid our scheme. They not only give employment to the people, but create a market and give the people an in- terest in the whole community. If, af- ter two years the Russian shows that he knows his book about farming, and that he can make place pay, tract of fifteen acres, with buildings, is de- nied to him on terms which will leave eighteen years to pay for the farm. The farm may be on the De Hirsch funds land, or, if the man prefers an- other place and has accumulated enough money to make first payment the fund will advance an amount simi- lar to his and help him secure the farm.
 The agricultural school, which has been in operation at Woodbine for the last five years, has done much to ad- vance the knowledge of the farmers, to whom the country, it's soil and climat- ic conditions were unknown when they came from their Russian homes. The school farms contain about 300 acres, and there young men have been in- structed in the various branches of farming with such effect that some of the graduates have received places as superintendents and head men on large stock and dairy farms.
 The farmers are not all successful, and many of the men who go to the colonies never acquire sufficient knowl- edge to justify the managers of the fund in advancing money on their &C., count, but the managers looked for such results. They believed that 20 per cent would fail, but their experience shows that less than 10 per cent. of the men who received support failed to

ON THE KE.fRSA RGE.

The new battleship Kearsarge is in- teresting in many ways, and she is es- pecially interesting in her electrical
 plant. According to the Electrical Re- view, for the first time the idea of oper- ating all, or practically all, of the nu- merous auxiliaries of the ship by elec- tric motors has been carried out. This means the abolition of all steam pipes and steam engines in the enclosed com- the comfort and safety of her people by the absence of these hot and danger of openings through the water-tight bulkheads, very small holes sufficing to carry the electrical conductors. In all there are f1fty-five large motors on the vessel, and these will work every auxil- iary in practical use. There are motors for turning the two powerful super-im- posed turrets, the rammer heads for the thirteen-inch guns, and the boat, ammunition hosts and small windla sses are also operated by the same. Elec- tricity is also employed for the venti- lating and lighting of the vessel, be- sides signal lights telephones, fire alarms and signal bells of various kinds. In short, the Kearsarge will be not only a most formidable fighting machine, but also the first warship in the world to use modern electrical ap- pliances for the working, not only of the great guns which she carries, but also for the rapid handling of the ves- sel, and its hygienic necessities.
 Experts claim that by this substitu- ton of electrical machinery for the more cumbersome steam appliances, more power is gained and an economy of space for the plant obtained, a most valuable advantage when one considers how space must be considered on a modern battleship. Much interest will be felt in its Workingr

Remember the orphans to-day and remember that they need help. The best way in which to express thank fulness that you are not an or phan dependent on public charity is to give liberally for the benefit of the orphans who are so dependent.

FASHION NOTES.
Time for a Call to Silks.

The elaborations of fine cloth gowns long ago reached the point where silk and satin were introduced for ornamen- tation. Yet very handsome cloth dress es are made without more of silk or satin than may appear as neck finish, and many of these will cost enough to discourage any ambition to dress out with silken finishings Tn the accom- panying picture is a representative of each of these classes. The less elabo- rate design is at the right. It was sketched in havana brown camel's hair suiting. The tiny yoke and collar were tucked cream chiffon, and outer collar

6PrOIDes,S

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Owing to the death of Vice President Hobart probably the flags of this coun- try will be set at half mast for one week or more. Tuesday afternoon as I saw how the flags were set it was a source of irritation to me, and also any old sailor to see them. 1t is not proper or ship-shape to set flags for death half way down the mast or pole, but the proper way to set them Is that the top of the flag be about two feet from the truck or top of the pole. Give this to the public so there will be one city at least in this Union that will have it's flags set properly for the death of our vice president John G. Chapman.

THE FIREMAN'S LIFE.
He Cannot Always Finish His Toilet
Before a Mirror.

''Of course everything about the fire
Mr.. Glimby, "but there is one little
thing in particular that I've seen /
suppose hundreds of times that appeals
to me more every time see it, and that
is the fremen getting into their coats
as they go along. You see this among
the men on trucks and on hose wagons.
The men on the engine have to use
their hands to hold on.
''It's simple enough thing in gen.
eral to see man putting on his coat,
but here he isn't standing up in his
room before mirror, but he's jumped
out of bed and taken his coat under his
arm and slid down a sliding pole and is
completing his dressing sitting on top
of rack Of ladders going through the
street like mad, drawn by three great
horses at one end, with a man down
at the other end steering this outfit
with wheel. This sight never loses its
novelty or it's interest. You may see the
same thing on hose wagon.
''But what set me to speaking about
this now was seeing man on fire

long seats, facing outward, pulling up
the tops of his high boots-red wagon,
galloping horses, banging gong, men i'll

Geography For Women.

Modern Atlas, published in 1915,
has a reference to ''the SEX which
ought to be very interesting to our
modern college girl. The learned author
says:
Geography is a study so universally
instructive and pleasing that it has for
nearly century been taught even to
females, whose pursuits are foreign from
serious researches In the trivial con-
versation of the social circle, in the
daily avidity Of the occurrences Of the
times, pregnant indeed above all others
with rapid and important changes that
affect the very existence Of states and
empires, geography has become ha-
bitual resource to the elegant female, as
we'll as the profound philosopher.
