BACK ACTION PHILOSOPHY.

When I muse on Pierpont Morgan
And his trust,
! reject that, after all, he's
And will turn to dust again
Made Of dust,
Which is natural; but then,
! should like 10 be Pierp Morgan
With his dust.
When think of Albert Edward
With his throne,
To comment upon his worries
| am prone;
And | cite the restless bed,
And uneasy royal head;
But-I'd like to lose some slumber
On a throne.
1t is easy, very easy,
To observe
How ones philosophic notions
Strike curve.
Gold and glory are not ALL
But we listen for their call
To decline such things we haven't
Got the nerve.

a Dark Reioinder.

A lawyer from the West who was in
Detroit recently told this story on
himself:
"A few months ago our town was al.
most wiped out by fire, and among
the most prominent institutions de-
stroyed was the bank, of which we
were justly proud The morning after
the fire my colored janitor met me on
the street Chats where / had my Of
fee for awhile after being burned out)
and gravely inquired:
ledge, does yo' t'ink de bankTl
pay de people what he'd money dar?'
Il assure him that there was no
danger of the depositors losing their
money, but Rastus shook his head
obviously, as he responded:
Well, All doan' take no mo-
chances on any bank Dustin aftah dis.

And dipped his fin thoughtfully into
the ink:
Then filmed this short note:

And sealed it with paste.

time to waste.
So he posted it slyly, without wasting
more
On the crest of a ripple that ran

Then, shaking his scales in satisfied

This exclamation which served as a
peroration to a little heart-to-hear.
talk which Professor J. Scott Clark
had with his class at Northwestern
university has stirred to the boiling
point the whole feminine element in
the college. The male members of the
institution are also discussing the
subject with much wrath and will seek
explanation from the faculty as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of such teachings.
Professor Clark occupies the chair
Of English at the Methodist institution
in Evanston. Following up recita-
ton he began discussion of women
of the present day to the members Of
his class. In comparison, he said,
the modern woman is scarcely the
equal of her mother or grandmother.
The college bred woman, he then re-
marked, generally proves a failure as
the manager of a household and Is
unable to completely fill the domestic
requirements necessary to make the
home an abode Of comfort.

have given this sage advice to the
young men Of his class:
you young men. who are looking
for wives among the college bred wo-
men of today are on the wrong track.
II you ever do get out, God help you"
Professor Clark has occupied chair
at Northwestern university for a
number Of years. He is about ~
years old and is married. Efforts are
being made by members of his class
to learn whether Mrs. Clark received
a college education, the interest and
purpose OF the students being obvious.
Prof Clark certainly did not
realize what a volume of criticism
would be poured upon his head by the
thousands OF college women all over
the country, or he might never have
made the statement.

Milwaukee-Downer college and

The Humors of Translation.

Some amusing instances of trans1a,
tors misunderstanding are mentioned
by the London Daily News. An Italian
paper not long ago turned Kipling's
"Absent-Minded Beggar" into "Dis-
tracted Mendicant." A foot note to
the same version explained "son of a
'.a~'beth publican" as reference to
Mr.. Kruger! Another italian editor,
who translated a passage from an
English paper about a man who had
killed his wife with poker, added
an ingenious footnote to say: 1--WE
do not know with certainty whether
this thing, 'pokero,' be a domestic or
surgical instrument" In the French
version of one of SCOTS novels,
w elsh rabbit has to be dealt with.
The translator, never having met with
that article of food, naturally turned
it into "un lapin de Gales" and in a
foot-note explained that the peculiarly
delicious flavor Of the rabbits of Wales
created large demand for them In
Scotland, whittier they were exported
in bulk that would compare with the
trade of Ostend. The desperate expe-
dent of the French translator of
Coopers Spy" who had to explain
how a horse could be hitched ito a To-
Gust" is also worth recalling. He had
never heard of locust tree, and rem
dered the word by "sauterelle," or
grasshopper. Feeling that this needed
some explanation, he appended foot
note explaining that grasshoppers
grew to gigantic size in the United
States, and that it was the custom to
place stuffed specimen at the door
of every considerable mansion for the
Co venience of visitors, who hitched
the horses to it.

GIRL LIFE IN INDIA.
What There is of it Ends at the Age of
Eleven, Says Woman Missionary.

What There is of it Ends at the Age of
Eleven, Says a Woman Missionary.
| At the Y. NJ. C. A. assembly hall
yesterday afternoon and at the Central
Presbyterian church last night Mrs
Abbie Smell Burnell, for several years
missionary in India, impersonated
"Menarchee," highcaste Hindu wo-
man. When Mrs. Burnell appeared or
the rostrum she was wrapped in a
gold-embroidered purple robe, under
which yellow silk vest. with sleeves
reaching to the elbow, showed. Heavy
bracelets of coral and metal and
amulets binding her hair were her
ornaments. Between her eyebrows
was round black patch to simulate
the mark of the red-hot iron with
which the women of India are branded
to show their allegiance to the god
silva
1.-THE children of India are clothed
with brass jewelry rather than with
garments of CLOTH" Mrs. Burnell said.
They run wild, with little or no at
tention. At the age of IL Hindu
girl becomes woman and then her
liberty ceases. They can neither
read, write nor sew, being taught
only to cook little, and they spend
their time backing their eyebrows,
dying their finger nails red and deco
rating themselves with iewelry. In
India the wealth of q man is gagged
by the amount of jewelry he lavishes
upon the women of his family.
when a girl is born" said Mrs.
Burnell, "the first question asked is
whom shall she marry. Every high
caste girl must be welded at IL, and
to a man of her caste and her horo-
scope. He may be comparatively
young. middle-aged or old, immoral,
diseased or brutal; it makes no diff
ference if his caste and horoscope
agrees with hers. A woman in India
is perfectly helpless.
"She is generally married at s or 8,
but does not become a member of her
husbands family until she is -. If
it should chance that her husband die
before that time she becomes n child
widow, the most despised of creatures.
A curse is believed to be upon her,
and if she goes the ordinary course
she commits suicide in desperation.
There are 10000 child-widows under
9 years of age in India
There is no wooing or being won in
India" she said. Every girl over IL
is wife or widow There the mother
in-law reigns supreme. She rules
with high hand and rod of iron.
'"The Hindu who dies without a son
believes he loses eternal life, and
frequently mothers give their daugh-
tiers to be nautch girls in the temple
the vilest life in all the world-in the
belief that they may appease the
anger of the gods and have sons born
to them.
''The religion of India is nakednass
without whitewash, yet they are
bringing it to your American women,
the queens of the earth"
Mrs. Burnell talked of the work of
the Christian missionaries and the op-
position to them.
American dolls, given as prizes in
the Christian schools, and American
fine-tooth combs, the Importance of
which you must visit India to realize
are doing more to Christianize India

A Cow for Every Acre.

Where little OF nothing is bought
there can be little hope of making
every acre keep it's COW as has so long
been the dream of many dairymen. 1t
might be done if corn alone were
used as feed. But corn is not COM
plete ration, and though more than
enough corn with fodder might be
grown to keep a COW through the year,
it would be always more profitable to
give other feed. such &c clover hay,
wheat bran or middlings, and either
linseed or cotton-seed meal. We have
known some milkmen near the city
who kept fully as many cows as they
cultivated acres of land. But they re-
lied very largely upon purchased food,
generally growing only corn fodder,
which they fed green so long as they
could, and then either cured the re-
mainder or put it into the si,o for win
ter and spring use. 1t is a great help
if some crimson clover has been sown
on the corn ground. 1t will make
enough growth before the land needs
to be plowed for corn in spring to well
repay the expense of seeding and
cutting the crop. But for the fact that
it takes two years to grow a good
crop of clover it would pay to seed a
piece of land every year with clover to
be cut for hay. Three crops a year,
aggregating five or six tons of dried
hay may be cut on rich land. If a
farmer can succeed in keeping a COW
per acre, even with the purchase Of
some grain feed, ne may, IL his cows
are good ones, realize more profit
from his land than he can with most
cultivated crops.-American Cultiva-
tor.

Pot VS.. LAYER Strawberries.


While good layer plants may answer
all purposes for general spring plant
ing, good ported plants offer many adj
vantages over them when the require
ments are not general, viz: When you
wish to plant at any other time but
spring, to plant in the spring when
you wish to fruit them the first season,
to plant in the spring or fall when you
desire to get very early runners, for
long distance shipment, when only
few are required of a new variety, to
plant after an early crop of potatoes,
or the like, and when you wish to de-
velop any variety to its highest degree
of perfection. Besides these advant-
ages, which are very considerable,
they possess many other minor ad-
vantages, which are very considerable,
those who are acquainted with the
merits of good potted plants. So much
depends upon the word good, how
ever, and so very few of those sent out
by nurseries can PROPERLY be qualified
by that adjective, that it is very
doubtful if their true value will ever
become generally known or acknowl-
edged among fruit growers. At the
usual price, $3.50 per hundred, great
profits can be made by the sale OF poor
plants, while on good ones at that
price there is but a very small margin.

Petunias.

1t has been but a few years since
petunias were worth very much as or
namental flowers, though their strong
hold on life gave them a place in
many door-yard where they would
not otherwise have been known.
Now the newer varieties come in
white and shades of red that are daz-
zlingly bright and a great many of the
plants will produce very sweetly per,
fumed flowers.
They begin to blossom in June,
when planted in the open ground very
early in the spring and continue to
blossom until frost kills them in the
fall. The seeds are very minute aud
the best way to start them is to SOW
the seed in box in the house in
March and transplant them as soon as
danger from frost is over. They are
easy to transplant as cabbages and
blossom profusely even in quiet thin
soil. A five-cent paper of seeds will
furnish enough plants for half dozen
flower gardens and no flowers returns
more for the cost of production.

Col. l.. Victor Baughman, "Slick
Vie Is anxious for the disfranchise-
ment of voters in this State. This is
easy to understand. Mr., Baughman
wants to run for governor on the
Democratic ticket and he realizes,
with his record hanging over him,
that it is utterly impossible for him
to win unless he resorts to some I'M
usual piece of political jugglery. He
is famous for those sort of things. He
is keen manipulation and CON
sciousless politician. His record shows
that nothing is allowed to stand in
the way of his political aspirations,
and just now he seems to be filled
with mad desire to be elected to a
State Office. To accomplish this he
would disfranchise voters. The Dem
ocratic machine has made saturn
ALA of the State affairs since its re-
turn to power. The people of the
State are thoroughly Disguised, and
the ring knows that its doom is seal
ed unless something drastic is done.
The people feel safe, however, and
know that the assaults of political
autocrats like Baughman, the pro-
duct of the Democratic machine, on
their rights and liberties will prove
futile.
