Coming home again, we know some
Of the things prohibition has done for
Kansas. For instance, Kansas has the
smallest number Of paupers to its
population Of any state in the union
Kansas spends more money for edu-
cation in proportion to population
than any other state. Kansas has sos
newspapers and only twenty OF these
viii allow liquor advertisements in
their columns.

Prohibition has made North DakO-
Ia famous. It has also brought pros
perity to the state. Under license
almost every town in Dakota support
ed from one to thirty saloons doing a
cash business, says Mrs. Elizabeth
Preston Anderson. The Iaboring-
man poured his wages into the Sa-
lOOnkeeper's till, the farmer spent the
proceeds Of the farm in the saloon,
and the merchant had to trust both
for dry goods and groceries. The sa-
lOOnkeeper was the only man who
prOfited by the business. When the
saloons were closed the man who had
formerly patrOniZed them began to
make better provision for his family,
and the merchant had the benefit Of
his increased trade and Of his cash
payments He began to pay for his
home and TO gain morally and physi-

office, while that youngster insisted
that he would be sorry in the morning
if not just then. The encounter had at
least served to rouse Gordon, and he
went uptown to the club to spend a
miserable evening trying to pretend to
himself that he did not care about the
broken engagement.
John Us You'll be sorry in the
morning if you amt now was pro-
phetic. Dick moped over his desk all
the morning, unable to do any work. A
dozen times he reached for the tele-
phone to call Marion up and ask her
forgiveness, and each time he set it ir-
resolutely down again, declaring to
himself that Marion should have known
that he had good excuse and that
she should have waited until he could
call her up. 1t was on her account as
well as his own that he was worried
about that contract, and if she could
not realize that half mentioned en-
gagement might have slipped his mind
in the pressure of more important mat
tiers that was her fault, not his.
Half dozen times during the morn
ing John J. stole into the room to re-
mind him that those figures for the L..
and +. had to be sent out that evening.
Each time lie was met with torrent
Of rebuke. Then he put on his hat and
went out of the office. though his lunch
hour was not until l O'Clock.
He knew where Marion lived, and
the statement that he had il message
for her was enough to get him past the
door. Presently the butler came back
wearing u solemn frowa.
Miss Darling does not care to re-
ceive the message" lie said.
"You tell her | want to see her my
self" announced John j.
For moment the butler hesitated,
and through that hesitation was lost.
Somehow John j. usually got what he
wanted. but he was the only person
not surprised when Marion sent down
word that she would see him.
81 want to tell you about Mr.. Cor
don," he began as the butler closed the
door. "Say, he's awful about the place.
He can't do any work. and he can't
keep his hands off the telephone. If
he don't quiet down and write tScse
railroad people he's going to lose the
chance of his life"
"Why do you come to me?" she ask
ed coldly. 81 have nothing to do with
the matter"
"Quit your kiddin'," urged John j.
81 heard you yesterday. You didn't
speak loud, but your words came
through the partition like they was bull
let's. You threw him because l forgot
to bring you letter yesterday. It's all
my fault for forgetting to bring up the
letter."

How Arnold Studied Logic.

Here is interesting story told in
the life of Archbishop Temple:
Matthew .rnold got leave, at the last
moment, to take in Logic For Respon-
sions" instead of Euclid" which he
could never master. The day before
the examination he went to Jowett,
who was his tutor, and asked how lie
could learn the subieX h time, as he
was wholly ignorant OF 1t. Jowett said
his only chance was to go to Temple
and see if he would try to teach him in
one day. Temple consented and, start
ing about 9 o'clock in the morning
talked continuously, allowing two
pauses of half an hour each for meals
till past 2 o'clock next morning. Ar
mold had been provided with paper,
but took no notes. He lay back in his
chair with the tips of his fingers to-
gether. saying from time to time,
What wonderful fellows thoy were"
Soon after o'clock a. m. Temple sent
Arnold away to get some sleep. after
which he satisfied the examiners in
logic. He answered every question.

Marion that there was Il meeting of the

Changes In Pronunciation.

1t requires 10 very profound knowl-
edge of English literature to ascertain
that the pronunciation of the language
has undergone a vast change during
the last three centuries. The shrewd
conjecture has indeed more than once
been h0zarded that the works of the
EllZahethan dramatiSt would be unin
telligible to modern audience if the
native and original pronunciation We're
adhered to, and certain, at all events,
it is that In many well known passages
of Shakespeare the very rhythm of the
line imperatively demands strange
and unaccustomed accentuation of GER
tain words. With the peculiarities of
a later period most people are sutfi-
GENTLY acquainted. That gold was
goold and that china was clancy dur
ing the Augustan era is matter of com
mon knowledge. And who can forget
Pope's description of Atticus:
Dreading even fools. by hatterers be-
sieged,
And so obleeging that he ne'er obleeged?
The last mentioned mode, as well as
the two others, fingered on well into
the last century and was habitual with
Lord John Russell, though they are all
probably by this time as rare as Roo
shia for Russia and rarer than Spaw
for Chambers Journal.

Inventors OF Ole

Mere invention was regarded as
somewhat vulgar in ancient times.
Archimedes made little of his mechan'
ical inventions. They were only the
amusements of geometry, he said, and
only at the behest of his sovereign did
he consent to give practical expression
to the many wonderful schemes with
which his brain teemed. And when
Eudoxus and Archytas took seriously
to mechanics they were denounced by
Plato as corrupting and debasing the
excellence Of geometry, by making her
descend from intellectual to corporeal
things. The inventor was long there
after despised by the philosophers.
and mechanics regarded simply as a
branch of military art.

Many western sheep owners, says
Wing in his Sheep Farming In Amer
lea. use small shelter tents about thir-
ty-siX inches square, supported by
curved iron rods, to shelter the eve
and her lamb from the storm in lamb
ing time. These tents are readily car
ried and set over the eve anywhere.
They serve to keep her and her offspring
together while they are becoming ac-
Quainted, and by turning chilling rain
save many lambs that would otherwise
be lost. As these tents are inexpensive
and can readily be made by the shep-
at hand when an early lambing on
grass is planned.

CHEAP SULPHUR.
A Point In C9nncctian with Lime,
Salt and Sulphur Mixture.

Salt and sulphur Mixture.
Professor J. T. Smith before the New
Jersey Horticultural society recently
had this 10 say about Sulphur:
l think a great many horticultursts
have made mistake in trying to OBJ
tain sulphur too cheaply. There is sui
phur ANA sulphur There is flour of
'sulphur-that is, Il sublime which
forms The lass upon which the for
mulaS are made up. There is also
ground sulphur, and it makes the flour
sulphur. That is simply lump sulphur
ground up. That is good if it is ground
fine and if the mixture is boiled long
enough to combine with the lime.
Then there is another material that is
sold as ground sulphur which is really
the crude sulphur ground up. with all
its impurities That. of course. is sold
rather more chcaply than the other ma
terial but it contains Il considerable
percentage of lime, hut is not the kind
of material that has been recommend
ed in making up these lime and sui
phur washes
Mr.. Collins said that if sulphur were
put on Il hot iron and it all burned it
was pure sulphur. He thought this
rule for finding whether sulphur Is
pure or not is worth knowing.

DIAGRAM OF CURB ROOF.

twelve feet and nine inches long and
given 4 onc-third pitch makes Il very
nice roof. However, the lengths of
rafters and pitches of roof for the diff
fercnt spans may be varied to suit the
tastes of different individuals. The
usual dimensions of rafters for curb
roofs are 3 by 6 inches. Two by eight
inches can be used, but does not give
as good a surface where the ends of
the roof boards are put together as Il
three inch rafter does. For a good,
durable roof for barn l have never
seen or used anything better than Il
good quality of shingles.

Lean Bacon Has Unique Value.
1t is an interesting claim that lean
bacon in the human dietary furnishes
as much digestible protein as other
meats and nearly twice as much fat,
making the total nutrients and avail
able energy derived from bacon much
larger than from other meats. Bacon
fat is easily digested, and when COM
bined with other foods it appears to
exert a favorable mechanical action
upon digestion. In recent extensive
experiments reported by Professor
Harry Snyder of Minnesota over 90
per cent of the bacon fat was digested
and absorbed by the body. Even at a
higher price per pound lean bacon is
a cheaper food than other meats.

Good Feeders.

Scotch farmers are not only good live
stock feeders, but they are also good
feeders of the soil, and they believe
that the most effective and economical
method of feeding the soil is through
the mediuIa of live stock. In all cattle
feeding operations, especially on the
arabic farms, the feeder considers both
the direct profits of feeding and the
value of the manure. which is all saved
and applied to the soil.
