of David and Goliath and used the story
to illustrate that men in the everyday
walks of life have similar giants to
overcome.

Frog Farming.

For some years the Pennsylvania de-
partment of fisheries has been study
ing various questions pertaining to
frog raising, and the present bulletin
summarizes data on the subject and
may be regarded as a progress report.
According to the author of a recent
bulletin, frog ponds may be in any
waste, marshy land. providing water
can be flowed through them, or any
land whatever into which water can
be introduced from a stream or spring.
preferably the former, because of a
usually higher temperature" For prof
liable frog culture the author believes
at least three acres are required, and
this should be divided into about ten
ponds. AS the ponds are not all need
ed at the beginning their construction
may be scattered over a period of two
years. At the outset small pond is
required for Matching eggs and devel-
oping the tadpoles, then ponds are
needed for the young frogs and for the
2-year-olds and 3-year-olds. The ponds
must be fenced to prevent the frogs
from escaping.
The principal enemies are birds,
snakes, cells, fishes and the larvae OF
the water beetle, the latter being espe-
cially dangerous.
As regards food, tadpoles will eager.
ly devour any dead animal matter, but
prefer fish. About % pounds of fish
per week is sufficient for the needs of
10000 tadpoIes. Fifteen to 20 pounds
of liver would also be sufficient for
the same number, but the liver must
be fresh. The liver should be fed in
small quantities, but the fish may be
thrown into the water whole. After
the legs develop the quantity of food
should be diminished Fully developed
frogs need live food and insects may
be attracted to the ponds by placing
boards near the edge smeared with
masses of honey and in similar ways
Other questions regarding the habits
Of frogs, feeding, rearing, etc. are also
discussed

Where Children Are Barred.

Queer, isn't it," said an out-of
town woman, that of all the hotels
in New York where women and chill
dren are welcome the only strictly
'woman's hotel rules against children
as guests of the house? believe in
the case of mother arriving late
at night with child they are, under
protest, allowed to remain until morn
ing. but that's all. Children are. how.
ever, allowed in the dining room.
ga similar rule debars children
from eating at one of the few restau'
rants in the city catering especially
to women. In this restaurant a CON
spicuously placed sign notifies moth
ers that children are not admitted
with no such rules laid down In
other hotels and restaurants, it seems
rather incongruous that these two
establishments, run especially for wo-
men, should rale the children ~out. -

Soy Beans and Nitrogen.

When the soy bean was first intro
duced into America it die not form
root tubercles. In order to insure the
growth of the root tubercles it is neces-
sary to use the seed that has been in
oculated, or to inoculate the soil with
the proper organism. This last is
readily done by applying broadcast a
small amount of soil taken from a
field where soy beans developing root
tubercles have been growing.
At the Maine station no tubercles
formed on plants grown In soil that
has been inoculated, but they grew
abundantly where soil from infested
soy bean was applied at the rate of a
few barrels to the acre. The beans
will grow as well without the root
tubercles as with, provided they are
literally fortified.
Their economical growth depends
upon the presence of the root tubercies,
as in this way they can be grown with
little or no nitrogen in the fertilizer.
L they are to be grown on soil con-
tanning no root tubercle organisms they
require a fairly liberal application of
the complete fertilizer.
If grown in good soil where root
tubercles may be expected to develop,
only phosphoric acid and potash need
be applied in the fertilizer. The soil
should be prepared as for ordinary
beans 1t should be made fine. free
from clots and humps, and smooth. A
good seed bed is essential to a good
growth

10 Europe in three DAYS.

At the last meeting Of the Select
Committee of the House of Commons
a unanimous decision was reached in
regard to the Collooney, Ballina and
Belmullet Railway and Piera bill. The
bill is important in respect that it
is a small part of the scheme pro-

$4,000, 900 for running a new fast
transatlantic service from Blacksod
Bay to Halifax The promoters con.

steamers, each estimated to cost ESQ.,

claimed that the journey TO Halifax
would be reduced to three and halt

to either places in Canada, and by
means of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way a shorter route would also be
provided to China, Japan and Aus

lens and one feeble-minded ruler de-
eides them" For events have turned
every argument today in favor Of the
republic and against autocracy and
bureaucracy.
Who can overestimate the import
ance Of these anniversary days of lib
erty, these holidays that commemorate
bae beginning of free institutions. Al
ways when patriotism has revived, ma
tional wealth and prosperity have re-
vived with it. The great age for the
Isles of Greece, where Plato thought
and Sappho sang, was the day when
every citizen was a patriot, sincere,
heroic and ready to die for his coun-
try. The great epoch of art, beauty
and liberty for Florence was the era
when patriotism, like a mighty food,
swept over Italy. The golden age for
little Switzerland, with its brilliant
past; for brave little Holland and for
glorious old England was the age
when patriotism was at its best. And
what our land needs above all else,
after a revival of ethics and right
eousness, is a revival of patriotism
and love of country.

Women May Get Right to Ballot.

Lieut.. Gov. Conner cast the deciding
vote to allow the people of the State to
vote on the question of female suffrage
in the Senate Tuesday morning. The
bill to that effect had been introduced by
Senator Stout and reported in by the
committee on elections without recon-
mendation. Without word Of debate
the vote was taken and resulted in a tie.
Mr.. Common had relinquished his chair to
Senator Wilcox, but assumed it again to
cast the deciding vote. \ similar bill has
been killed in the Assembly, but in view
of the action of the Senate it is thought
that the lower house will reconsider its
decision and leave it to the voters of the
State to decide whether the fair sex shall
have the sacred right of suffrage in Wis
consin or not. For years the women's
rights advocates have endeavored to Sc
cure recognition from the legislators, but
hitherto they have been turned down
cold. This session they did not ask the
right of Suffrage, but only asked that the

One of the clever novelties designed
to delight youngsters upon the Fourth
81 July, as well as before and after,
is the firecracker fan.
At first glance it looks like a nice
red giant firecracker, but you make
the mistake of your life il you touch
lighted punk or any sort of fire to
the realistic string which bangles
from one end
Instead it is etiquette to pull the
string. Just pull it steadily and out
comes a full-fedged fan, the round,
pleated sort, a near T, lative of the
old-fashioned pistol fan. The fan part
is of the daintiest blue patterned
around the edge with tiny pink posies.
This, together with the gorgeous red
of the frecracker handle, goes to
make a fan of the gayest attractive
ness. 1t is not stretching matters to
say it looks altogether Celestial, mean
ing that it smacks of the Celestial
Kingdom.

Occupations.
Women at work in the United
States is the subject of a report is
sued by the Census Bureau based on
the returns in 1900. In that year in
continental United States the total
number of women 16 years of age
and over was 23,4S5,559, while those
at work numbered 4,833,630. Most
of the women at work were young,
6S4 per cent. being under 35 years
of age; 44.2 per cent, under %, and
ESQ per cent had not reached the
age of 81; 1873 per cent. were mar
ried, 1T per cent. were widows, and
1.3 per cent were divorced.

and 1925 Indian and Monaghan wo-

The number of women at work more
than doubled in the twenty years
from 1880 to 1900, and there was
noticeable increase of bread winners
among married women in 1900 as COM
pared with 1890 Women were rep
resented in all but nine of the 303
occupations in which bread winners
of the country were engaged.
The returns showed, among other
things, that five females were en-
ployed as pilots; on steam railroads
10 were employed as baggagemen, 81
as brakemen, as conductors, 45 as
engineers and firemen, and 26 as
switchmen, yardmen and fagmen; 43

Commercial Feeding stun..

The feeding stuffs examined under
the Connecticut State law by the ex-
pertinent station included cottonseed
feed, linseed meal, rape-seed meal. en-
tire wheat meal. wheat bran, wheat
middlings, mixed wheat feed, maize
meal, gluten feed, hominy feed, rye
feed, ground oats. buckwheat mid
dlings, malt sprouts. dried distillers'
grains, dried brewers grains miscel.
laneous mixed and proprietary feeds,
special poultry feeds, meat scrap and
ground bone, continental cattle feed
corn silage and corn for ensiling.
AS a whole. the results show fewea
discrepancies between guaranteed and
actual composition than formerly, and
the authors state there seems little evil
dence of any desire on the part of the
manufacturers to deceive the public re-
garding the quality of feed.
There are, however, a good many
feeds offered for sale which
could not be sold to feeders who apply
fair knowledge of the art of feeding
stock and business methods to the buy
ing of their feed
The buyer should study the market
price and composition of commercial
feeds and make his selection accord
ingly.
Cotton and linseed meals, the glu-
ten and wheat feeds, distillery and
brewers grains, and few other stand
ard things supply digestible protein at
reasonable prices. They are all that
any feeder needs to supplement and
balance the hay, silage, slower and
cornmeal which his farm produces.
They are the only commercial feeds
which will supplement them. 1t is alb
solutely impossible to balance the feed
which the farm produces with bought
feed containing less than Is per cent
OF protein, which is more than many Of
these commercial feeds show.
