Under the Yoke.

New occupations for American WON
en- are frequently described in the
household magazines. Meantime
many women OF the old world stead
fastIy cling to their old tasks. A trav-
eler with good eyes may see In a sin
gle summer day IN Belgium enough
TO make him wonder what are really
the boundaries OF ''woman's sphere"
AT five o'clock in the morning he may
see a red-cheeked woman. a rude har-
ness over her shoulders, pulling, with
a big dog for helper. heavy cart
of vegetables three miles from garden
to market The cart holds several
topped by a great bundle OF dew
sprinkled roses; and before the wom-
an and the dog trudge home with 1t
again, everything will have been sold.
Our traveller may come upon two mus
cular women transferring a load OF
coal from sidewalk to cellar, snoul-
dering the baskets as easily as men
would do. If he fingers to watch them
finish their task, he will see girl OF
16 swing a wooden yoke over her
shoulders, and carry pail after pail
of water from the town pump. two
squares away, for the scrubbihg clean
of the dusty sidewalk. Three women
toss bundles of oats upon high cart.
and themselves drag 1t up from the
field to the yard. where the grain is
TO be threshed. and where later they
will build the straw into symmetrical
stacks. A great herd of cows cluster
round the mixers in the field. and
from the group the talk and laughter
OF girls mingles with the sharp whistle
OF the milk in the pals. So. in the
little kingdom of Belgium-where
wages are low and taxes are high
women toll at what we have come to
consider work fit only for men, says
Youths Companion. But it must be
said that they do not look unhappy
under the yoke. Perhaps the freedom
of farm and market and street is real
ly better for their peace of mind than
the "too much kitchen" which often
makes our more fortunate women
weary in body and depressed in
spirit.

ARMY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Washington. D. C. = An argument
against the reduction in the number
OF troops in the Philippines is made
by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, COM
manding that division In his annual
report The total garrison on June

and in case of foreign disturbance,
even with all our troops concentrated
at Manila. the force available would
be barely sufficient to defend it from
a serious attack. Moreover. a strong
garrison should be maintained here
until strained conditions have passed
away"
Gen. Wood suggests adding some
artillery to the present garrison and
sending to the PHILIPPINES one squad

Simple Life Natural in Japan.

Many of US dream OF the sirSple
life Some strive for it; few attain
it. An eminent author has said only
those with great wealth and enormous
strength can live it, With the Jap
anese this is so. The simplicity Of
their daily existence has been culti-
waited until 1t is an art. Each mans
status in society is definitely fixed
1t is the grade in which his forefa-
theirs lived and in which his children's
children will live. There is no striv-
ing for a higher place. He is salts
fed with his position. accepts it as
matter of course, and makes the most
of it, Only by some overt evil act
will he drop into lower grade, and 1t
must be a phenomenal deed or service
TO the state that will raise him even
one degree higher in social rank.
This stability of position has an i'm
portant influence upon the nation. No
one wishes TO appear different from
what he really is. and as a conse-
quence there is no greed for wealth.
You will say this must kill ambition.
II ambition is struggle solely for
money and position. then it does kill
ambition. but 1t does not kill ambi-
tion to excel In ones own craft or call
ing The fact that a Japanese
is content in his own sphere. says
the Craftsman. is the keynote of the
success OF their simple life. 1t is Of

preston. so the element of show o.

Winter Egg=Laying Contest.

A novel egg-laying competition at
the Lady Warwick's Ladies Agricul-
tural College is reported by Consul
Daniels at Sheffield, England. The
conclusions reached are that breed does
not govern so much as the laying
strain or families of breed highly de-
veloped as egg producers. The pen of
four Buff Orpingtons led from October
16 to November 16 by producing 40
eggs, and again November 16 to Decem-
Der 16 with 120 eggs. One thing the
present competition shows is the little
help it is to birds to be what show
enthusiasts call beautifully marked,
for as often as not it is the ordinary
looking competitors, birds show

Rightfully comes she by the title,
for according to statistics the Ameri-
can hen yields more money annually
than any other one farm product. With
eggs as low as a cent piece-a very
cheap and nutritious food-a well
bred hen laying about two hundred
eggs year has value OF 81. An
estimate is made that 81 a year will
keep her in comfortable If not luXuri'
Gus, quarters. The trouble is that
millions of barnyard scrubs do not
yield hundred eggs a year.
According to Government authori.
ties the earning from the egg and
poultry industry amounts to about
$3.50 100000. Cotton, the king of crops
with a value reaching up to $3.50, 000,.
600, is thus dethroned by the magnifi'
cient earnings of the fowl.
During 1905 the total value of all the
gold, silver, wool and sheep produced
in the United States was $272,000,000
The wheat crop, considered the most
valuable of all agricultural products
had a value in the same period of
| $229,000,000. The great American
hog, consumed at home and abroad
was valued at about $1S6,529 035. The
sugar production of the country was
only $20,000,000. The combined value
of the oat and potato crops was only
| $160000,000. The Industrious little
gallus domesticus produces enough
eggs to require a train of refrigerator
cars 900 miles long filled with $4,000,
900 crates, each of which holds 36C
eggs. The value of the egg as food
product is equal to that of any food
stuff of it's size.

near to attaining to fame some years
ago, in connection with horses.
The story runs according to a
prominent horseman, that some years
ago II. M. Ziegler, of Cincinnati, the
noted owner of thoroughbreds, and an
intimate friend Of Mr.. Longworth,
took the latter down to his Kentucky
thoroughbred farm to show him his
collection of fine yearlings.
"All of these yearlings were as yet
unnamed.

two yearlings were led into the open.
They were both fine lockers, but Mr.

larger one of the two the better.

pick. He looks good to me-.
Hes christened mick Longworth,
then,' said Mr.. Ziegler, and the colt was
duly named Nick Longworth and regis
tered with the Jockey Club under that
name.
Now, the other colt of the pair from
which Mr.. Longworth made his selec.
ton was afterward named Hermis
Sounds kind o. familiar to you, eh,
that name. Hermis? Well, | should
think it would sound familiar, seeing
that, in the deliberate belief of many of
the most astute horsemen in this coun-
try, Hermis was absolutely the finest
race horse ever foaled in the United
States, speed and distance marvel,
a bulldog who never knew when he
was beaten, and an animal worthy to
be ranked with the very greatest race
horses of all time in this or any other
country.

Mr., Longworth didn't pick out. AS for
the one that he did pick out, and that
was named Nick Longworth-well
Nick was worth about 1912 as rae
ing proposition, and that's about all
He could win selling race once in a
while on Thursdays when the wind was
SOU -sou'e east by nor, but he couldn't get
out of his own way in running with
even fair handicap horses, and he lost
about twenty times to one win, and
| it really did come to pass that Mr.
Longworths Cincinnati friends guyed
him numerically about his namesake
horse. Mr.. Longworth never, of course
told his guying friends that he'd actu-
ally had the chance to get so noble an
animal as Hermis named after him.
He probably felt that the situation was
bad enough as it was.
