topics of special interest.
A most notable feature of the con-
vention will be the participation of
women's clubs. Several department
conferences will be held and one
general session conducted under their
auspices. The club women of Maine
have rarely Lad so good an opportunity
to hear notable discussions on topics Of

Not the lr:t pleasurable anticipa-
ton is ~ " land in the opportunity
that will BE gwen to enjoy vacation
season in Portland, city which affords
a larger variety of attractions to the
summer tourist than any other in New
England.
Portland people are arranging num-
Der of delightful social affairs in honor
of the visitors and this gracious hospi-
tality should be leciprocated by large
attendance.
The railroad and hotel rates are so low
that no Maine teacher CT club woman

ton. All the details are explained in
the program bulletin which may be had
on application to Supt. Payson Smith,

What America Spends on Yachting.

In the current number of Pearson's
Magazine A. F. Aldridge writes that
more than $43, OOO, 900 are invested in
yachts, $4,000, 900 in club houses and club
property, and that over $S,0O0,OO0 are
spent every year for pleasure in yacht
ing. There are now 800 clubs devoted
to yachting in the United States. A
careful examination of the records of
yachts shows that there are 512 steam
yachts, 199 auxiliaries, POS schooners,
/ 1922 sloops and cutters, 226 yawls, 146
catboats, and 3OS launches with gas,
electric or naphtha motors, making a
total of 3,11S yachts. No record is kept
of sailing craft that are less than twen-
ty-fve feet long OF these, it was esti-
mated by prominent builder recently,
there are more than 10000 in the waters
of this country. 1t is of the recorded
boats only that estimates are given in
this article. There are SIP steamers.
OF these, 357 are built of wood, twenty
five are of composite construction
that is, metal and woodland 129 are
built entirely of steel. These steel YES
sells are worth ST., 1894, 900. All modern
boats are built of steel, and the seven
that are over 300 feet in length are
among the handsomest in the world.
The twenty-five vessels of composite
build are worth $969, 900, and the wooden
boats are worth $1,000, OOO This makes
total for the steam yachts owned by
American yachtsmen of So, 1862, 900.
Figuring closely and taking into con-
sideration the sizes of the boats, 1T
would take $3.50 men to handle the
steamers and auxiliaries, 1917 for the
schooners, APO for the yawls, 1,215 for
the sloops and 600 for the power boats,
making total of 1902 men. The pay
of an ordinary sailor is $50 a month.
Many owners add to this So month
for good conduct. Quartermasters get
a little more than sailors, mates $50 to
800 month, assistant engineers the
same as mates, and captains and en-
gineers from S75 month to $4,000
year. The average pay roll for these
5000 men might be put at $40 month
each. This would mean 100000 month
or 81, 100000 for the five months. Cost
of food for the five months is placed at
s665, 900, while expenditure for clothing
is set down at $4,000. Overhaullng
and fitting out is estimated to cost
81, 10000 and entertaining is said to
call for s2,5ooooo. Annual dues are
reckoned at S75O,O00, while the expen-
ditures of members in their clubs
amount to another $4,000.

THE BEEF PARADOX.

Discussing ''The Greatest Trust in
the World" Mr. Charles Edward Russ
ell says, in the July installment in
Everybedy's:
''In the three years ending January 1,
1905, the value of the beef cattle of the
United States declined S163, 100000.
II call attention to this fact, officially
reported. 1t is pivotal. The whole dis
cusSiOn turns upon it.
''The value of cattle has declined.
Has the price of meat to the consumer
declined?
81 print here tables from the retail
markets of different cities They do
not show that meat has become cheap
er. They show that it has become
steadily dearer.
Here then, is the great, significant
truth we are to face: The cost of the
raw material has diminished The price
of the finished product has increased
''1n the history of commerce no such
condition has existed without designed
and abnormal control and manipulation.
Without abnormal manipulation no
such condition would be possible If
the cost of the raw material and the
cost of the finished product had kept
some measure of relative pace, one
ignorant of or blind to the operations
of this Trust might assert that raw
material and finished product together
had merely taken part in a worldwide
movement of rising prices. No one can
say that now. This discrepancy is too
glazing. The raw material is cheaper;
the finished product is dearer. In view
of this fact, what shall we think of
those laborious arguments by which a
government department tries to show
that this Trust is no trust, that the
packers profits are very small, that the
public has no reason to complain?
Where are the books now that will
explain cheap cattle and dear beef :?
And of what value are any reports
against the certain, plain dollar-and-
cents experience of every householder
in the countrY?"

whole object of the game being to win
tricks by leading high cards or by
trumping. Then came the era Of Hoyle,

1870 to 1860 and taught players to
think not only of their own hands, but
of the other hands also, and to take
advantage of the positions Of the cards

trumps might be more profitably en-
ployed than in simple trumping and
showed that they might be used to dis

was not until 1860 that the philosoph-

THE ART OF EATING.
Food Must Please the Mind as WEI

Food Must Please the Mind as Well
as the Palate.
Pawlow has established the physio-
logical Importance Of the mental state
on digestion, having shown, for in
stance, that delicacies produce secre-
ton Of gastric juice as soon as they are
perceived by the eye, even before they
are eaten
The food must not only be palatable.
but must be served in an attractive
manner-fne dishes, table decorations,
etc.
In eating we must take time to chew
our food thoroughly. This serves a
double purpose first, through the act
Of mastication the coarser particles Of
food are broken up; second. more sa-
Iva is secreted and is thoroughly mix
ed with the food The digestion Of
starch is thus materially aided, and
the proteids are made more easily ac-
Scessible to the action of the gastric
juice.
Water should accompany each meal
It increases the appetite and the en-
joyment Of food. .5.
After eating we should rest a little
while before returning to our work. y

Directly In my path stood an ancient
swamp white oak, the greatest tree, /
think, that have ever seen. IT was not
the highest nor the largest round, per
haps, but individually, spiritually, the
greatest. Hoary, hollow and broken
dmbed, his huge bole seemed encircled
with the centuries, and in this green
and grizzled top all the winds Of heay-

One could worship in the presence Of
such a tree as easily as in the shadow
of a vast cathedral. Indeed, what is
there built with hands that has the dig

!, And what life was here! Life whose
beginnings lay SO far back that could
no more reckon the years than could
count the atoms it had builded into this
majestic form. u

his height doomed a tulip poplar, clean,
boiled for thirty feet and in the top all
green and gold with blossoms. 1t was

Conceive Your Ambition Clearly and

We all can measure the outward tri-
