Decline of Muscle.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
IJnskilled labor is daily becoming of
less worth to society. The man who has
nothing but his muscles to offer to society
in return for bread now finds that society
does not think the bargain good enough.
The strong arm and fleet foot were enough
perhaps, to make a candidate for king
ship long ago; they are scarcely sufficient
today even for the making of stevedore.
The high priests of muscle and their ia
natical supporters are more utterly out OF
date than the worshippers of any African
fetish. The struggle for existence is not,
as formerly, an immediate struggle OF
man with nature-with the recalcitrant
soil and the uncertain sea. The arrange
ment now is social, not individual You
may live IL you are worth enough 10
society. IT, however. you have only mus
Giles to offer, society will point you to
its machinery, which your muscles are
powerless to emulate. What are the LEGS
of a man" compared with an internal
combustion engine? The jinril<sha-runner
and the motor car are types of the con-
trast. What is the biceps of the black
smith compared with the steam-hammer?
In short modern society is such that,
other things being equal, the educated
mind will beat the educated muscle every
time.
If, then, we are to remedy poverty and
unemployment, we must see to it that IN
our training of the young we pay atten-
ton to the factors that Increasingly count

New Light on Dairylng.

From the Women's Home Companion.
In one of the model schools in our
town, first grade teacher was having
a lesson on the cow" She was trying
to impress on the young minds the
various uses of the milk. Butter,
cheese, etc., had been disposed Of, and
she wanted some bright genius to tell
how the farmer fed the surplus milk
to the pigs. Leading up to this he ask
ed this question.
Now children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs, and uses what milk he wants
for his family, what does - 40 with
the milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for moment
and then one little hand waved franti-
cally. The tacher smiled and said
well, James,"

To Make New Rubber Plants.

From the Garden Magazine.
From a rubber plant which is growing
in a living room, the best way to get new
plants is by scoring the bark of the limb
where you want the roots to grow, and
covering the injury with sphagnum moss,
which must always be kept damp.
Roots will soon permeate the moss
when the limb should be cut off and
