SMALL FARMING
DATA NECESSARY

The bulk of the correspondence re-
ceived yesterday by the Promotion
Committee referred to farming possi-
bflities in the islands.
The absence OF absolute data on the
productiveness and the marketing OF
products of small farms, is proving a
bar to the successful answering of
queries that reach the Committee. A
letter was received yesterday from
Nova Scotia which read as follows:
1--WE would like full information as
to settlements in your islands; prices
of lands; locations; productions,
prices; if markets are convenient: cost
of land seekers and immigrants pas
sage; by what lines of steamships may
they arrive; cost of living; building,
etc., and if partly improved property
can be had. what land will give an
income of $780,
Three men who should have inform
alton about the productiveness OF
diversified farms have been asked by
the Promotion committee to answer
those questions, bearing upon local
conditions.

Handsome Winny Blake. prince of

fearing to lose one of his stars, has
provided a special clause in his two

keep all his affaires-de-coeur down to
mere fiirtations under a severe penalty.

A little vanity is a good thing.
Every woman should try, at all times,
to look her very best. But it certainly
must be discouraging to have your

Gray hair adds twenty years to the
age. Why not look as young as you

Strain Of Their Work Wears Them
Before Their Time.

Before Their Time.
Pearl fishers do not live long.
They often have to dive to a depth
of 100 feet or more, and the strain
wears them out before their lives
are half over From these depths
diver usually brings two oyster
shells each "trip 1t is on the
mother of pearl in these that the
European depends for his sure
profit. Pearls are "plums,7 which
only occasionally fall to his lot.
Divers work for a wage, and all
the shells brought up are theprop-
erty Of the employer. In STUDIES
in Brown Humanity" Hugh Cliff
ford describes Malay pearl fishers.
They anchor on the oyster beds
or as near to them as possible, he
says, and the diving takes place
twice a day.
"All the boats are manned at
morning and evening, and the Sulu
boys row them out to point Sc
lected for the days operations.
The white man in charge always
goes with them in order to keep
an eye upon the shells, to resusci-
tate exhausted divers, and gener-
ally to look after his own inter.
ests.
"Presentlya man lowers himself
slowly over the side, takes long,
deep breath, and then, turning
head downward, swims into the
depths, his limbs showing dimly
in frOglike motions until, if the
water be very deep, he is com.
pletely lost to sight.
"In few minutes he comes in
to view again, his face straining
upward, yearning with extended
neck for the air that he now needs
so sorely His hands cleave the
water in strong downward
strokes; his form grows mOmen
tarily more distinct, until the
fixed, tense expression of his star

through it, and his bursting lungs,

WE(O?ING COUGH.
Infection May Be Carried in Clothing
of Third Person.

OF lnlfQ FcrSOn.
According to the New York
Medical Journal, DIR. Morse, dur
ing a recent epidemic of whOOping
cough in Boston, was called upon
frequently to state whether the
disease could be transmitted
through Il third party or through
contaminated clothes. In this
way he was forced to recognize
that the opinions that he held on
the subject were based on general
impressions rather than upon
facts. A search of the literature
seemed to show that most writer's
were in the same position as him
self. He therefore sent a circular
letter to- well-knOwn men, asking
for their opinion on the subject.
Forty answers were received and
of these only three gave data, re-
porting four cases in which indi-
rect transmission of the disease
seemed probable. On the whole,
it appears impossible to draw very
positive conclusions from the ma.
terial at hand. Very little seems
to be known of the indirect con-
tagiOusness of whoOping cough.
Four Of the cases reported seem to
justify the conclusion that in ex-
ceptionaI instances whoOping
cough may be carried by third per
sons or by clothing and other ar
eles.-Prairie Farmer.

COMPOSERS AS CRITICS.
Not Considered Good Critics of Their
Brother Musicians.

Brother Musicians.
Musicians are often very unsafe
critics. Wagner's attack on Mey-
erbeer and Schumann's sneers at
Wagner are notorious, while an of
fetal Blue Book recently issued
the government inspector in music
has, delivered himself of the opin-
ion that Sir Arthur SullivaD's
"Brother. Thou Art Gone Before
us" is not by composer Of any
real merit" says London Truth.
TschaikOwsky. however, seems to
have surpassed them all. \ BIZ
ography of the deceased Russian
composer, from the pen of his
brother, has recently been puh-
lished in Russian, and is now be,
ing translated into German. Ger
tain extracts which have been is
sued by the International MFsical
society show TschaikOwsky in "a
very violent mood. Concerning
Brahms he frankly writes to Frau
vOn Muck: Il must tell you, with.
OWt false mOdesty that | rank my
self higher than Brahms," adding
that if he met the composer he
should have to tell him: "Herr
Brahms, consider you a cOmpos-
er ungifted, pretentious and be
reft of creative power; ] by no
means place you high, and ! look
down upon you with disdain." As
to Wagner, Tschaikowsky is very
bitter indeed. He found the
SRing" endless and tedious twad,
die, which bores me to DEATH" he
was particularly annoyed by the
darkened auditorium and the ,'fn
terminable monologues and dia
logues," and, perhaps with great
er justice, he declares: "CompOs

by music, but now they seem in

EQUAL PARTNERS.
Something About the American Bride

Who Marries Abroad.
When the descendant Of man
who received title of nobility

more ago marries the daughter
or granddaughter Of an American

affection for his wife is often ques
toned. The doubt implies that no
foreigner of rank would marry an
American wife except for her
money.
This theory is not compliment

Youths Companion. English
men. with and without titles, are
practically unanimous in confess.
ing the charm of the girls brought
up in the American atmosphere
of freedom and taught to believe
in the equality of the sexes. They
do say, occasionally, that women
here have too many privileges,
and that their wishes are deferred
to more frequently than is wise; /;
but they all admit that the Ameri-
can system, instead of destroying
the feminine charm, makes it ir-
resistible.
1t is this attractiveness of
American girls that leads young
Englishmen to seek them as wives.
The wealth of the bride has little
to do with the case; many girls
who are not rich have married into
titled families abroad.
The title itself is an accident.
The possessor of it is usually sew
eral generations removed from the
man who earned the honor; where
as, in the United States, it has fire.

of the foreigner is the daughter
of man who, if titles of nobility
were conferred by the American
government, would have been
made a duke, a marquis or a
knight because of his statesman.

ventive genius, or because he con-
quered the wilderness by building
railways through it. The Ameri-
can bride is every time nearer

which is decorated with titles in
