1t to be understood 1t is emineutly
good sense. She no doubt put II in
the form 1t has so as to make it the
more emphatic as a protest against
the absurd habit of devoting a holiday
to harder work in chasing amusement.
more especially in social diversions, as
they are called, than we are in the
habit of devoting to our regular voca-
lions.
Ii is doubtless good thing for men
and women whose labor is indoors to
get out into the open air. to cease for
a time to breathe the dust of city
streets. even if only to try the quality
OF the dust Of the country roads. But
anyone who has ever met at close
quarters in the early evening crowd
Of city men, women and children re-
turning from picnic train, hot. dusty
tired, haggard, with dragged and
forlorn and faded-out look, after a day
in the country, will join in the doubt
whether the nervous wear and tear
has not been much greater than any
possible benefit from fresh air.
me Value OF monday is as much
in freedom from care. in rest which
is absolute idleness, in the relaxation
from nervous strain as in any revivi-
fication from open air, even with exer-
else. One of the worst aspects of our
American life is that we are too much
disposed to take our pleasures as
strenuously as we perform our labors.
We go home from Saratoga or sea-
side excursion as tired as when we
started out the only saving considera-
tion being that it is WEAKNESS in a diff
ferent way, and going back to work is,
in some sense. a relief. There is no
little sound sense and sound philos-
ophy in Nine Bernhardt's notion Of a
holiday.

Oscar Hammerstein's Green and Gold
Ceiling.

Ceiling.
1t cost Oscar Hammerstein money to
learn that green and gold will nci do
for the ceiling decorations of his new
theater, the Republic. Mr.. Hammer
stein wants something novel. He is
tired of the light blue and red used in
theater decorations. He had the cell
ing painted an olive green, with de-
signs in gold on the border. The cleo
trio lights are hidden, but the rays
fall on the ceiling and are reflected
to the auditorium. Mr.. Hammerstein
lighted the lower house the other night
to judge the effect. Eleanor Falk and
her chorus acted as audience. The re-
flected light from the ceiling gave their
faces a yellowish tinge and made them
look like victims of yellow jaundice.
Mr.. Hammerstein tried green globe
lights. 1t was worse.
No woman would come into this
house a second time" said Mr.. Ham
merstein in disgust, looking at the
grinning, saffron-hued chorus.
Paint it out. I'll invent another
system"

what Benefits Accrue from Strikes3
This st. Louis matter brings up the
question: What benefits accrue from
strikes? And the answer is easily
made. II you size up the benefits from
a strictly personal. temporary stand
point, there are, as a rule. none If a
man getting 81 day STAYS on strike
three months to enforce demand for
f1.10 day, It viii take long while,
even II he wins and oil goes we'll, for
him TO be where he would have been
had he not Struck" but kept right on
working. In this particular instance.
II he works steadily for 10 months
after he wins his strike. he will be
where he would have been had he not
Struck" but kept right on working
for 81 day And the chances in
many employments are that he WON'T
work steadily for 10 months.
But il you congder the establish
ment OF a favorable principle a bene-
at. then some strikes have been sue
cessfui. And strikes that do this are
the only successful kind know OF
The principle, once established, oper
ates benefcially and impartially, ant

When fowls have the run OF tho
farm there is little danger OF over
feeding. unless it be with corn. Ths

1t is probably true, as has been as
serted by some, that when fancy fowls
are sent to market it should be in
clean, bright coops. old, secondhand
affairs will not do. The buyer is infu-
enced very much by the condition OF
the whole combination when it is on
sale.

A poultry writer says: Grease the
hens we'll, under the wings, breast and
fun feathers as soon as the chickens
are taken off, with ointment made of
lard and carbolic acid; one tablespoon
full of lard to ten drops of acid" We
fail to see the need of using the car
bolic acid. as the grease will do all the
work. We sometimes see it advocated
to use lard AID kerosene, but believe
even kerosene to be unnecessarily
harsh on the tender skin of fowls.
This is especially the case with young
chicks.

Every person that keeps poultry
should have them In yards large
enough to prevent the ground beeom-
ing filthy. Some recommend that this
end be attained by frequently scraping
over the ground or spading it up. That
may do in country where land is so
high-priced that everything has to be
done on large scale. but in our great
Western country land is too cheap to
make this method advisable. Give the
fowls enough room and nature win
look after the cleaning.
