Sarah Bernhardt, whose ignorance of
family life in America is as great as her
artistic fame, has undertaken to give
her fellow cOuntrymen her ideas of fe-
male education on this side of the At
lantic. She begins by making the graf
flying admission that the American
woman leads very different life from
her French sister. 1t will be news
throughout the millions of homes on
this continent to learn from our recent
visitor that lin America home scarcely
exists. People live in hotels or employ
housekeepers." This is so many leagues
from the truth that it merely provokes
smile, but what do our readers of
the gentler sex say to Sarah's asser-
ton that the American woman mar
ries as late as possible" and that while
In Europe the girls make haste ito
escape from the family hearth and get
married." in America the girls are ''in
no hurry to enter the bonds of matri-
mony, because to them marriage brings
an obligation from which the unmar-
ried are free" 1t would be interesting
to know from what shallow gossip
about American family life the divine
but lax Sarah derived her stock of mis-
Information in regard to American
homes and American girls. SO far as
our girls are concerned, no one has ever
known them to show any backward
ness about assuming the obligations of
the married state. 1t is only a ques-
ton with the great majority of them
of meeting the desirable and desired
mate. Instead of marrying as late as
possible our girls are a great deal more
prone to marry in haste, in spite of
the ancient injunction about repenting
at leisure, than their cautious and
canny brothers. The American girl.
guided by an instinct that seldom fails
her, regards the fresh bloom of early
womanhoOd as the most fascinating
possession of her sex. 1t is the charm
that brings the suitors to her side in
droves so she can choose. After it has
passed she knows that. save in excep-
tional cases. her matrimonial fate will
be summed up in the aged spinster's
prayer, Good Lord, any man"

actually consumed in travelling was
only about ninety-eight hours. In 9th
er words, the automobile, If 1t had pro-
ceeded continuously, would have COW
cred the distance from New York in
only little more than four days. The
success of this experiment may be TAX
en- both as sign that the American
roadways are probably improving and
as another inducement for continuing
the good-roads movement. If the jour
ney can be made now in approximately
ten days, allowing for stoppages, break
downs and delays due to imperfect
roads, the time schedule should be re-
duced much further when the roads
have been brought to the standard of
perfection of European roads. With
cheap and rapid automobiles, good
roads and well-appointed inns lining
the route, what would few hundred
miles matter to the traveller bent on see
ing the country?

Importance of these perfectly well.
The other evening a young woman

was possibly a souvenir of some senti-
mental nature, a tiny chain, from
which depended gold heart.
Dear me-" said Marjorie when the
guests had assembled in the drawing
room, and she was bidding them
goodnight, before the nursery for her
supper. Dear me, mamma, Miss
Smith has on her license, hasn't she?

HALF A CENTURY YET.
When Will the National Pension Roll
Come to an End7

a pension official in Washington has
been trying to figure how long it will be
before the national pension roll comes
to an end. He practically admits that
he is unable to solve the problem
owing to the fact that there is a differ
ence from year to year in the increase
and decrease of pensions, and there are
also the Spanish war pensions to be
considered, for which, outside of the
Philippine service, there have already
been filed twO-thirds as many applica-
tons as there were troops atually en-
gagged i'll the war. According to his
figures, there We're at the close of the
year a total of 993,529 names on the
roll, an increase of 2,O1O from the pre-
vlous year. During that year the
names of 1884 pensioners were drop
ped from the list, but this was more
than offset by the 1914 that were add
ed, 1863 of these being names restored
that had been previously dropped for
various reasons, says the Boston Her
aid. He then figured that If there was
no increase at all and an annual aver
age decrease of $4,000 year, the pen
sion roll would be exhausted in about
twenty-three years, or in 1924. AS
throwing a little light on the question
the statistics of the Mexican war pen
siOners may be quoted. This war ended
tifty-five years ago, and yet there are
to-day 1882 survivors on the roll. as
well as s, 151 widows. with total num-
Der of beneficiaries amounting to 16.-
AGA, while on June 80, 1900, there was
still on the pension list one survivor
and LAP widows of the war of 1872
If the civil war pensions and those for
the Spanish war are to run on anything
like the same rate, the present century
will be more than half gone before
there is any promise of the wiping out
of oil pensions resulting from our wars
of the past; and it may be stated that
from 1861 to 1900 the pension system
has cost Uncle Sam no less than 81, 526,-

brought disaster to large proportion
of the settlers, and when the price of
wheat fell thousands abandoned their
farms, being unable 10 support them
selves and pay high interest on their
mortgages. The people who are now
pouring into the Northwest are all ex-
perienced farmers, and they have mon
ey with which to buy good lands and

they can harvest profitable crops
There is every reason to believe good
times are in store for the farmers of
the West and Northwest The enor-
nous Increase in the cultivated acreage
that followed the great invasion of the
Western States caused a long period of
low prices for farm products, especially
for wheat, but for several years popu-
lation growth has been out of all pro-
portion to the growth of productive
acreage, and the time cannot be dis
tant when the demand for breadstuffs
will be such as to make agriculture
profitable. Far-seeing capitalists are
said to have bought thousands of acres
of farm land in the Dakotas 1t is es-
timated that the immigration into the

1t may or may not be true that King
Humbert's assassin, Bresc, was tur-
tured by his guards. Probably he was
not dealt with very gently. But no
amount of mere physical suffering
which his keepers could have inflicted
without running the risk of kill
ing him could have been worse
than that made necessary by the
very nature of his sentence. He was
in solitary confinement, with nothing
TO do and just sufficient food and exer-
else to make it impossible for him to
sicken and die. The human mind can
not get along without occupation and
remain sane. To be placed in a small
chamber with only stone walls to look
at would soon shatter the strongest
nerves. TO be confined thus with the
certainty that the confinement is for
life probably would result in partial or
total arrangement for almost any per-
son living. Italy considers the death
penalty too severe a measure for any
crime, but it may well be doubted if
the few minutes of terror before guillo-
tine or scaffold is not a less fearful
punishment than the slow process
which drove Bresci to madness and
then to suicide.

THE UPS AND DOWNS IN THE
LIFE OF A CLERK.
A Tale Of Misfortune and Misery With a
Happy Ending-The World Seemed
All Very Dark for While.

A clerks life, ordinarily, is a very
humdrum one with but very little
variety to the daily routine. But
Mr.. Fred r. Morton of No. so Vesper
street, Portland Me-, had an expert
ence recently which has made his life
now very happy one. In telling a
reporter OF what he went through he
said:
~ had been suffering with stomach
trouble for about two years. Every
day about ten o'clock in the morning
and three o'clock in the afternoon l
became faint and felt so bad that if
did not sit down | would fall. That
sensation usually lasted for about an
appetite for lunch.
az saw DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People advertised in the daily
papers about year ago and decided
to try them. l felt relief from the
first box and after / had taken six
boxes my disease was cured. do not
take them now but always keep them
in the house. / have told my friends
what these pills have done for me and
should know of any ones being sick
as / was | should recommend DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People "
Mr.. Morton's statement was pub
lished in the Portland Express after
he had sworn to it before Marshall H.
burlington, a notary public.
The most effective remedy in the
world in cases of this kind is DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
They act directly on the blood and
nerves. This makes them invaluable
not only for stomach trouble but also
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects
of the grip, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow compilations and all
forms of weakness either in male or
female DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are sold by all deal
ers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt
of price, fifty cents box, or six boxes
for two dollars and fifty cents (they
are never sold in bulk or by the hun
dred) by addressing DIR. Williams

The real wealth of nations is not to

value of its material possessions and
resources and foot up the items to a
grand total. The character and capa-
city of nation rather than its stores of
wealth. whether in one form or another,
make and keep 1t great. The editor of
the London Statist few days ago OBJ
served that the natural resources of the
United States do not wholly account
for its present keen industrial rivalry
with European nations. He keenly re-
marks that the red men had the same
country and the same resources, though
they never seriously competed for the
trade and commerce of Europe.

A Costly funeral.

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
of Alexander the Great. A round mill
ion was spent in laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed in n
coffin of gold, filed with costly aro-
MATES, and a diadem was placed on the
head. The funeral car was embellished
with ornaments of pure gold. and it's
weight was so great that it took eighty
four mules more than year to convey
it from Babylon to Syria.

FARMERS ARE GOING WEST.
Eastern Agr;culturists Are Seeking
More Productive Lands.


Not since the early SOS has there
been such a movement of homeseekers
into e-Northwestern States as there
is now. Since the middle of February
there has been a steady increase in the
number of farming people who have
passed through st. Paul bound for
Washington, North Dakota, Oregon
and Idaho. 1t is explained that these
people, who go in large colonies, small
groups and by families, are native
Americans (mOstly from the Eastern
and Southern States who have sold
their small farms in order to buy large
ones in a new section. For the money
which they have received for their
small holdings in the thickly settled
parts of the country they will be able
to buy many acres, which will allow
the parents to leave a farm to each
child.
There is a difference between this
movement and that which in the early
SOS gave so large a population to the
Dakotas Then the homeseekers took
up Government lands and many had
to mortgage their property either for
farfi implements and stock or for food
supplies until they should be abls to
raise a crop. A series of bad years
