among the people it cannot be said
that the division has been an unmixed
blessing. AS rule the peasants have
not the money with which to stock
the land and they have been compelled
to use it as meadow land for several
seasons past. They cut grass and
make hay which, owing to the dist
ance from the markets, they have been
compelled to sell at a third of the price
paid for hay in Dublin. English buy
ers have gone to the West and bought
hay at IS per ton and shipped it to
England, where it has been sold at
high prices. The Connaught farmers
realized scarcely sufficient to pay their
rent and the cost of making the hay.
AS a result they have determined
upon the anti-grazing campaign.
Grazing in the South and West has
been practically wiped out and few
men can be found who will risk put
ting cattle on ranches"
Goldwin Smith. writing to the Spec
tator on the withdrawal of the Irish
Council bill, says: What wisdom die
tated, an accident has brought to pass
Ireland now it is to be hoped, instead
of having a political revolution gra-
tuitously rendered to her, will be left
to consider her own administrative
needs herself, to embody them in a
measure and bring that measure be-
fore Parliament"

Let the Girls Know.

What right has a girl to marry and
go into house Of her own unless she
knows how to superintend every
branch Of housekeeping? And she
cannot properly superintend unless
she has some practical knowledge her
self. Let all girls have a share in the
at home before they
marry; let each superintend some de-
partment by turns. 1t need not oc-
cupy half the time to see that the
house is properly swept. busted and
put in order, to prepare puddings and
make dishes, that many young ladies
spend in reading novels which ener-
vate both mind and body and unfit
them for everyday life. Women do
not as a general rule get pale faces
doing housework Their sedentary
habits in overheated rooms combined
with ill-chosen food, are to blame for
bad health. Let the present genera
tion add to its list of real accomplish
ments the art of properly preparing
food for the human body.

The Foolish Rich.
Two pictures.

Two pictures.
No. 1. The tang of spring was in
the air. A glass cage on wheels. drawn
by two fat horses rumbled over the
pavement. There was a man inside
the glass cage who was going down
to his office There were circles under
his eyes and a jaded look was on his
face. There was man outside who
the morning was on his cheek and he
whistled.
No. 2. Two pedestrians came down
the street with swinging stride. There
was gray in the whiskers of one. but
the vigor Of youth was in both. A
street car passed. 1t was loaded with
men and women. some of whom had
waited at the street corners for fifteen
minutes in order to ride ten minutes
The driver Of the glass cage was
getting the best that life afforded this
spring morning.

their two miles were getting what
money could not buy.
Isn't it a fine arrangement that the
things really worth the having cost
nothing?
The joy of the beauty filled day
what did the man in the glass cage
get of it?
The thrill of awakening life that
pulsed in every breath, how much OF
it did the jolted car passengers feel?
Money will buy automobiles and
carriages and soft laces and a cush-
toned life. but it will not buy the JOY
Gus tremors, the thrill of bird song
the miracle Of the first sweet flower
on the hillside-all the tingling theater
of real life that comes with the on
rushing green Of Gods open.
The real pleasures of living come
without money and without price.

tedium of convention or the furbish-

would ask you to explain it by any
other theory than that He was divine.
Reared in a carpenters shop, having
no access TO the wisdom Of the other
races and people, He yet, when about
80 years of age. gave to the world a
code of morality, the like of which the
world had never seen before the like
of which the world has never seen
since. Then He was put to death. He
was nailed to the cross in shame and
those who followed him were scattered
or killed. And then, from this little
beginning His religion spread until
hundreds of millions have taken His
name upon their lips, and millions
have been ready to die rather than
surrender the faith that He put into
their hearts. To me it is easier to
believe Him divine than to explain in
any other way what He said and did"

A Strong Man.

In the sixteenth century there lived
A remarkably strong man. French
major named Rarsabas. says the Ral-
tmore Sun. One day he took up an
anvil weighing 500 pounds and hid IT.
under his coat. He could crush be-
tween his fingers the limbs of big ami
mails. One day. seeing a crowd look
ing at an enormous dancing bear, he
offered to wrestle with the animal.
The major threw the bear down sew
eral times. and. judging it unworthy
of further struggles, slew the animal
with his fist and carried It away on
his shoulders amid the cheers Of the
crowd. Another day, seeing several
officers of his regiment surrounded by
an angry crowd, he ran to them.
knocking people down right and left
as a child does with a pack Of cards.
The crowd, exasperated. turned round
ants one with each hand, he used them
as clubs on the crowd who, astonished
at his traordnary display Of strength,
quickly drew back. Once he squeezed
to pulp the hand of a man who want
ed to fight him. Barsa ba's sister was
also remarkable for her strength. Some
burglars entered a convent where she
was. She threw one out of the win
dow and killed two others with a
pillar she tore down and used as a
club.

TIMELY FRUIT TOPICS.

In selecting varieties for family use
have a succession from early to late.
In this way you can have apples the
year round.
Never plant peach tree over one
year from the bud but good strong
healthy stock to feet high with
clean bark and clean roots free from
root gals.
| prefer to plant one-year-old apple
and pear trees when can get strong
4 to feet whips. Such trees have a
strong robust habit, strong individu.
ality and are the very cream of the
nursery.-Dr. j. H. Funk, Berks Co..
Pa.
When picking over potatoes or ap-
pies save the small ones or those
partially decayed for the hens. We
think It pays better than to feed them
out to the cows. Boil and mix with
the mash or throw few raw ones
into each pen In the middle of the
day
The winter peach blight which has
been serious for several years In parts
Of California is caused by a fungus.
II attacks the buds In late winter and
early spring. Spraying with bordeaux
mixture four to six weeks before
growths start In the spring is usually
effective.

CARE OF TREES.
The Relation Of Pruning to Fruit Pro.
duction.

Pruning so as TO maintain balance
between fruit production and wood
growth is OF vital Importance to the
fruit grower, because upon such bal.
ance success or failure depends. In
nature the trees come into close con.
tact with other trees and a struggle
for existence between them results,
the stronger ones crowdng out the
weaker In cultivation, this struggle
for existence between trees is elm
mated, and they are given an oppor-
tunity to develop without much com
petition. 1t is obvious that undel
such conditions, the natural tenden-
cies and functions of the trees are
often thrown out of harmony.
If the soil Is very fertile, or espe-
cially rich In nitrogen, the wood pro.
ducing functions tend to crowd out
the fruit-producing functions, or, II
the soil Is poor, fruit production is en-
couraged at the expense of wood pro-
duction, and the vitality is affected
This may result In premature death.
Often under conditions such as these,
intelligent pruning may correct the
difference.-Prof. E. P. Sansten.

than they can eat. They attack wheat
Indian corn, oats and all tho cereals
as well as garden vegetables. Some
kinds OF cutworms ascend trees by
night and cut of tender leaves and
buds, descending and hiding in the
early morning. BY day they hide un.
der the surface Of the soil, where each
patch of withering vegetation marks
their hiding-places. In vegetable beds
these spots should be dug over and
the upturned worms killed; holes
made with hoe or rake handle fur
nish favorite hiding-places by day,
and thus serve as traps to catch
many worm.
There are great number OF kinds,
and some OF the worst are introduced

tive Is the spotted cutworm shown
