Belgian Hares.

Passing a Chicago meat market re-
Gently, the writer noticed sign that
read: Two Belgian Hares for %
Cents" 1t was above a great pile Of
the animals. This points lesson.
few years ago the exploiters of the
Belgian hares at fancy prices were de-
claring that the time would not come
when Belgian hares would not bring
several dollars each. Multitudes of
people went into the raising Of the ami
mails with the belief that all they pro-
duced could be sold at high figures.
In vain their friends warned them that
in the natural course of events Belgian
hare meat would come down to the
level of other edible meat At that
time no argument was effective. Nil
lions OF the animals were raised and
little by little appeared on the mar
kets, where the producers found that
they had to sell them at about the
price OF rabbit"
No boom of any kind Of stock can
last indefinitely. The high prices
themselves stimulate the producing Of
enough animals to bring down the
prices to the level prevailing in other
lines This fact should be remembered
in the producing Of any kind of live
stock.-Farmers' Review.

Keeping Birds from Cherriea.

A Maryland Orchardist has found IN
effective way Of keeping the birds
away from his cherry trees while tho
fruit Is attaining that degree Of ripe
ness necessary to profitable market.
All that he has done has been to plant
few mulberry trees scatteringly In
his orchard and as the latter berry
ripens about the same time or a little
earlier than the cherry. and the birds
are more fond OF them than OF the
stone hearted fruit. they obligingly
keep away from the farmers stock.

ways, or "a tlsfa ction

from being able to boast of her pow
ers. in the event of marrying man
weaker than herself, who allows him
self to be henpecked But 1t Is
very poor enjoyment when compared
with the happiness Of the woman who
lives in true harmony with her hus'
band 1t ia even worse when the mas
terful woman marries man who,
Willie not allowing himself TO be hen
pecked in any way, considers II BEST
for the happiness and comfort OF both
himself and his wife to keep away
from the domestic hearth as much as
POSSIBLE and who therefore proceeds
to spend the greater part of his spare
time at the local club or with boon
companions. This promptly brings
forth an accusation OF neglect from
the wife herself. who upbraids her
husband for losing all interest In her
self and the home, ignoring altogether
the fact that she herself is responsible
for the state Of affairs.
1t Is well, perhaps. when the mas
terful woman marries a man whose
will Is stronger than her own. and who
insists on being master Of all things
in his own home. In such case,
there are far better chances Of both
ultimately enjoying great happiness in
their married life. For. as a rule. the
strong minded man Is not so unreason-
able as the masterful woman. He is
willing to consider his wife's opinions,
so long as she recognizes his right as
master. But once let strong minded
man yet the idea into his head that his
wife is trying to rule the roost," as
the saying goes. and he will prove us
obstinate as IA mule In the thwarting
her wishes
And yet II Is quite possible for every
wife to be practically mistress and
master. too. in her home. The weak
est wife can rule the strongest hus-
band. If she only goes the right way
about it. But she cannot really eXer-
else an influence over her husband I'M
less she wells her powers. Perhaps
the secret of the woman who rules her
husband Is best described in the fol
lowing lines. written by the immortal
poet Pope:
"She who ne'er answers TN a husband
cools.
Or, If she rules him, never shows she
rules.
Charms by accepting, by submitting
sways,
Yet has her humor most when she
obeys.'
The best way for wife TO rule her
husband Is to take care, In the first
place, that she never loses his love.
A man likes nothing better than to be
tied about with silken letters. This,
too, is the most dignified and delight
full kind Of sway woman can eXer-
else. Combine this love with little
tact and forethought, and wife can
bend her husband to her own way of
easy manner.
1t is the woman who does every
thing in her power to make the wheels
Of domestic life run smoothly together,
shows how anxious she is to contribute
to the happiness and comfort OIL her
husband and children, and who in a
quiet, womanly manner states her
views, opinions and wishes when nee

A Margin of Dairy Profit.

The canvass Of forty eight creamery
patrons sending milk to an establish
ment in Fond du Lac County, WIS,
shows a total of G31 cows. The aver
age cost of feed per COW was $29.SS
and the average returns for butter
from the creamery per cow was $35.S2.
The cows averaged 1904 quarts by the
years. yielding 1876 pounds of butter.
which sold to return the patrons $l9.27
per pound. Each dollars worth Of
feed produced only $l.2O in butter, and
the total profit per COW over cost OF
feed was $4.94 for the year. But an
additional profit from skim milk at
twenty cents per hundred amounts to
$500, making total profit per COW Of
$14.34. This skim milk profit is really
the most striking result Of the canvass.
1t shows that while with average cows
the butter returned but little more
than enough to pay for the feed, the
value Of the skim milk increased the
net profit two hundred per cent. The
statement does not. Of course cover
the whole story, since the cost Of labor

the value of manure and Of the calves

IS THERE LAND At THE POLE,

Peary intended TO leave his last port Of
CALI (North Sydney. Cape Breton) yesterday.
Ii he did SO, no further news from him need
be expected until the tender Slk, which is
taxing coal for him TO Etah, returns in Sep
tember. When she comes back she may be able
to furnish indications OF the condition of the
ice TO the northward OF the point at which
she leaves her supplies. Hints Of that kind
viii be interesting on account Of their bearing
on the progress Of the Roosevelt toward Cape
HecIa, near which it is hoped that she Will
md winter quarters. STILL little doubt exists
in regard to her ability to force her way 10
the proposed base Of future operations The
powerful engines Of the new ship justify CON
hdence in Peary's ability to execute the first
part Of his programme before the autumnal
equinox arrives. Practically the Only uncertain
ty which now remains relates to the final dash
over the covering OF the polar sea. BY under
taxing this earlier in the spring than ever be-
fore, it is probable that fewer crevices will
be encountered. Indeed, upon such q possi-
biity rests the chief hope of making a new
record in the North. 1t will not do however
entirely to ignore still another chance which
lends encouragement 10 faith In Pearys sue
cess.
Most geOgraphers believe that the Arctic
Ocean extends without break in all directions
from 400 to 500 miles. Until there is positive
evidence TO the contrary this doctrine must be
accepted; yet there are already few who are
inclined TO dissent from it. More than a year
ago Mr. r. A Harris, attached to the United
States Geological Survey, gave some reasons
for doing so in ''The National Geographic Maga-
zine" These are afforded by peculiarties Of
the tides and currents at various points along
the northern coast Of the American continent.
Such phenomena are susceptible of more than
one explanation and it is not unlikely that Mr.
Harris interprets the facts wrongly. On the
other hand, it may turn out some day that he is
right Now, if there should be one large island
reaching from the vicinity of the Pole toward
Grant Land, or even an archipelago like Franz
Josef Land-which is really a comparatively re-
cent discovery-a much better highway for
Peary's sedges than the fee pack furnishes

TIE SWEDISH CRISIS.

1t is customary to speak of a Ministerial
resignation In a European country as a "crisis."
but in what has just occurred in Sweden there
appears TO be nothing particularly critical or
menacing. We cannot regard It as imperilng
peace or as gravely compIcating relations be-
tween the Scandinavian kingdoms On the CON
uary, the tone of the report of the Riksdag
committee is altogether reassurng 1t agrees
with the King in deprecating ali threatening
action and in emphasizing the importance of
continued friendly relations between the two
countries. These sentiments, sincerely cher
lshed on both sides of the boundary line, should.
and we expect will, prevail to the end.
What the committee Of the Riksdag asks is
simply that the separation of the two kingdoms
shall be effected in a more deliberate and for
mai manner. 1t Is ready to negotiate with Nor
way for dissolution of the union, but it wants
the Norwegian people to declare through a
piebiscte their desire to that end. That is not
an unreasonable proposal on Sweden's part and
it should scarcely excite any resentment or op-
position In Norway; for surely Norway should
not separate herself from Sweden unless her
people desire it, and If, as we assume, they do
desire IL, there would seem to be no reason for
not lelung them say so by popular vote. In
deed, IN so democratic a country as Norway
such course, In so momentous a matter, would
appear to be eminently appropriate.
The remainder Of the committees report deals
cMeny with details of separation and of read
Justment or relations TO the new conditions
The various items are such as may well form
subjects of friendly negotiation between the SOW
ereign powers. They are put forward evident
ly not as obstacles to separation, but as conse-
quences of an inevitable if not fully accom-
piished fact The committee evidently realizes
that Norway is bound to part company with
Sweden, and is trying TO make the best of IL
and TO assure lasting ana mutually beneficent
friendship for the future. The Swedish Minis
try presumably had in mind a policy different
from this in detail, though not we think, greatly
differing from it in ultimate aim. Therefore it
resigns Office. A new Ministry, committed TO
the policy outlined In this report Will be ar-
spicious of prompt and equitable settlement of
the pending dispute.

BRYAN AND FOLK.

Some lively speculation is likely to be started
by the announcement that the Hon. William ].
Bryan is planning 10 make the Hon. Joseph w
Folk, OF Missouri, the Democratic party's next
Presidential candidate. A dispatch from St
Louis reports-with particularly intended to
carry conYiction-the details of an agreement
Just concluded between the Nebraska Warwick
and the nominee 10 be- 1t is a protocol drawn
with fine political discrimination; for it aims
not alone at advancing Mr.. Folks fortunes but
al guaranteeing the Hon. William J. Stones re-
election 10 the United States Senate and at re-
habilitating the shattered Democratic machine
The Hon. James NJ. Sebert is 10 be made chair
man of the Democratic State Committee a Gov
ernor not unduly sensitive to what Mr. Jerome
calls the moral yearniags OF rural commune
ties is TO be chosen, and the good old days at
JEFFERSON City-before the lobbyists had TO take
out tickets Of leave and give bonds for good
behavior-are TO return. Folk, Stone and Har-
mony'' is 10 be the slogan for 1908 and with
that slogan Missouri is 10 be electrified and re.
deemed.
For the dog days this is a creditabe II not
an inspiring, forecast. Tt betrays the hand of

Yet its oVerfrankness is little suspicious II

terror motives" We are panied TO find that the

1908 Is this a suggestion that his popularity
may be checked or has already been checked?
As Governor OF Missouri Mr.. Folk has under

He has made war on the lobbyists, putting them

OF trying 20 enforce all laws equally. He has

due TO an I'll concealed resentment In certain
quarters at his resoute and unsparing course as
Governor? Is it intended TO convey the impress
sion that he himself feels that he has over
stepped the bounds Of policy and is willing to
confess his failure by seeking the support three
years hence of the ruling spirits in the dis
credited machine? We may be pardoned for
thinking that the reported Bryan-Folk agree
ment represents not so much the purposes of
the chief parties to it as it does the wishes OF
the ring leaders who are plotting to regain their
lost power. 1t would be great convenience to
Senator Stone, who must stand for reelection
in 1905, if Governor Folk should be running
that same year as a Presidential nominee 1t
would be great boon TO the machine if it could
trail back into power cllnging TO Governor Folks
skirts. 1t profted by Colonel Bryans popu-
larity in 1900 and 1904 1t is eager TO profit
again In 1908 by the popularity of Colonel
Bryan's alleged political legatee. Beyond that.
talk of the new Folk-Bryan alliance may be
safely dismissed as harmless midsummer gossip.

idea of making the best free choice among men
of known fitness, with regard to whom exami-
nations would furnish no additional guarahtee.
But the great mass of secretaries. cashiers ana
"c0ntidentiar' employees, who, according 10 Gus
tom or by the mandate of the courts. belong IN
the exempt class, are not personal selections III
whom the appointing power has special uusI
but adheTents of district leaders employed under
political dictation. This is so much the custom
that there is no pretence of excluding political
considerations from weight in appointments TO
exempt places In the Murphy McCarren war
both appointments and removals in the exempt
class were recognized weapons. But this is an
entire perversion of the constitution and law.
The constitution declares that appointments
and promotions in the Civil Service of the State
shall be made according to merit and fitness,
and the law provides that mo appointment or
selection TO or removal from an office or en-
'plOyment within the scope of the rules shall
be in any manner affected or influenced by po-
litical opinions affiliations. Both the law and
the constitution apply to the exempt class The
unelassifed service includes the offices in which
politics may fairly have weight-the places hay-
ing to do with administrative policy. The en-
tire classified service-the exempt, Don-compeh-
tive, competitive and labor schedules-is by law
withdrawn from politics. The exempt class Is
not field reserved from the application OF the
merit system as a sop to politicians. though 1t
is often treated as if it were. 1t is merely
class TO be selected for merit and fitness by the
test of personal judgment instead of by the test
of competitive examination. Places are put in
the exempt class solely because, owing to the
nature of the work some peculiar circum-
stance. it is deemed impracticable to make
proper competitive selection. The appointing
officer is in honor and by law bound to make his
selection for merit and fitness without regard to
personal and political favoritism and to make
removals only on the same principle. The habit
ual disregard of this duty, involving the use OF
the exempt class for political purposes, is a
great abuse.
