DOCTOR HALE ON WOMAN'S
WORK.

In his monthly talk in the Woman's
Home Companion, DR.. Edward Everett
Hale says:
"Will you please to remember that
the bottom rock of American success
is the habit or determination that ev-
cry place, village, town, neighbor-
hood or whatever you call 1t, shall
have home rule. If and Mr.. Good
child want to have a road and
bridge which shall go back to the
rhododendron swamp, we build the
road and we build the bridge, with
such help as we can get from Mrs
Tucker or from Mr.. Champlin, and
we do not write to sub-prefect, who
writes to a project, who writes to
an assistant commandant, who writes
to another commandant, who writes
to an intendent, who writes to sec
rotary of engineers, who sends word
to us from the seat of government
whether we may build the bridge and
how we may build it. Lift where you
stand expresses the foundation prin-
ciple. the subsoil, the hard-pan, the
bed rock of American life.
'Now, very queer thing has de-
veloped in the evolution Of this prin-
I ciple. It has proved that where the
men of the country have been too
busy, or have thought they were. to
attend to their own affairs. the wo-
men have been able to attend to them
better than the men do.

referred to, of a neighborhood library.
feeding a region of not more than
1000 or 5000 people. The affairs OF
that library, If they are well conduct
4. ed, are conducted by the women OF
the neighborhood. They know what
their children want. they know what
their husbands need. And 1t is very
fortunate for the neighborhood and
the library that they can harness the
horses and can drive themselves to
the meetings of trustees and select
the books and tell Miss Dorcas how
many she may buy"

MANNERLEss WOMEN.

Having taken American women
kindly but firmly TO task, In Harper's
Bazaar, for their careless and inele-
giant speech, Henry James has now
removed his gloves, and Is much
more severely reproaching them, In
the same periodical, for their bad
manners. He says, in the May Ba-
Ear:

mand, seemed to make out as new

meant, and what extent of deviation
the old closed eyes had begun to fore
see. There had been, in fine, for a
number of persons, the definite, the
informed and quickened vision OF
what 1t particularly was to be con-
siderate: and was not finally reap

last complete failure Of that vision?

main or the only interest may be
that they throw a certain light on
social conditions. The light thrown
then, to my own apprehension, from
this general source, during consid-
cradle tour, was all a confirmation
of the truth looming so pretentiously
up from the first hour of repatria-

Big Butter Producers

Consul H. D. Van SAINT of Kingston
advises that the Canadian minister of
agriculture in a recent address at the
convention of the national livestock as
sociation pointed out that while the
raising of first class dairy and beef
cattle had been carried on successfully
and splendid breeds of horses were be-
ing raised all over Canada, the very i'm
portant industry of sheep raising had
been almost wholly neglected and the
Canadian trade in wooden goods had
suffered in consequence. The Ameri-
cans were said to lead the world in the
breeding of livestock and the raising
of horses, and yet they were anxious to
get hold of some of the best product of
Canadian breeding. The speaker said
the French Canadian cow was the most
profitable COW in Canada, and prophe-
sled that it would soon be known as the
greatest butter producing machine in
the world
