Telephone Service
for the Farmer.


A telephone may be only con-
venience to city man, it is a neces-
sity TO the Farmer. Think what
it means to sit at home and be in
instant communication with your
neighbors, the stores in town, your
doctor, in fact, the whole world.
Self preservation is the first law of
nature. 1t is almost criminal for a
farmer to be without phone.
Does 5 cents a day seem so very
much to pay for all the comfort
and profit of a telephone on the
farm
A postal, or a call by telephone,

How to Buy Good Bananas.

When yor are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which will pucker your
mouth. No matter how we'll ripened
these thin bananas are, they will al
ways be found both sour and acrid.
This is because the bunch containing
them was packed too soon. The ba-
mana grows faster at first in length.
When it has reached its fullest devel-
opment in that direction it suddenly
begins to swell and in few days VII!
double its girth. 1t is at the end or
this time that the banana is ripened
naturally. and the effort of the banana
importer is to have the fruit picked
ut the last moment and yet before the
last ripenlng has progressed even
enough to tinse the bright green OF
the fruit with yellow. A difference OF
twenty-four hours on the trees at this
time will make difference in the
weight OF the fruit, perhaps 25 per
cent. and ali the difference i'll its final
favor between a puckery sour and the
sweetness and smoothness which are
characteristic of the ripe fruit.

The Man VINO Rules japan,

The emperor of japan is the sun Of
all authority. Everything in. Dai Nip
pom shines by his light. In the jap
anese conception Of history he is the
living representative Of the gods who
made Everlasting Great Japan.
Whether it were court mobiles Of i'm
memorial lineage, heads Of military
clans, medieval governors who gov
erned in the Mikado's name, or the
all-powerful Shotgun at kamakura or
Yedo, they did but shine by borrowed
light. Even the constitution Of 1889,
which made government representa-
tive and progressive. was whole the
ory of administration is that the son
of heaven is the source Of all auth
ority, and that prosperity to the ma
ton comes from his divine ancestors
through him. The most serious ques-
tion which Japanese patriots have to
answer, and the most weighty prob
lens they have to solve, center in
this-how to reconcile this ancient
theory with the claims Of civilization

q Robin and a Rat.

Tho other day, while a gentleman
of Porthollow, st. Keverne, was walk:
ing mast a farm in the ne!ghborhood'
he was attracted by robin, which
flew about him, tapped its wings IN
his face some two or three times and
appeared greatly excited and dis
tressed. The gentleman's curiosity
being aroused, he watched the robin
for some time. 1t flew towards him
and then back into the hedge a short
distance away, uttering apparer tly
cries of distress all the time. The
gentleman walked toward the hedge
where the bird seemed to wish him TO
come, and creeping up close lie dis
covered a medium sized rat, which
had got into the robins nest and was
devouring one of the little young
birds. At the sight Of the gentleman
the rat jumped out and was knocked
senseless on the road. When the robin
saw the rat lying on the road she deN
at it and pecked it viciously. The raj
was killed and thrown over the hedge
into the field, and as the gentleman
walked away the robin seemed to
chirp him her thanks. There were
Jour young birds in the nest. One was
killed, but the other three were free
from injury.-London Globe.

Quo TO Love of Ease and Luxury
Among Upper Ciassos.
The coatinued fell In the Dirth and
marriage rate In London. combined
with the terribly high rate OF INFANT
mortality, Is viewed with the greatest
aou cssn IN religious aa3 scisat.ac cir
eles. The Rev. W. Garlic, hesa OF
the Church Army said that declin-
ing birth rate was one OF the surest
signs of national decay.
Love OF ease and luxury among
the upper classes" he continued, ARE
mainly responsible for this terrible
state Of affairs. The refusal Of moth
ers to accept the responsibility Of
motherhood Is. in my opinion, nothing
less than child murder.
The moral standard in this respect
is much higher among the lower than
among the upper classes. For In
stance, while the birth rate was 37.6
per 1000 in Stepney. 35.7 in Bethnal
Green and 34.5 in Poplar, all poor
districts. in rich Kensington 1t was
only 20, in wealthy Hampstead I'LL
and in Westminster lowest Of all.

II weep to think Of it. London is
becoming another Herculaneum, an
other Pompeii If we do not mend our
ways our fate will be none the less
terrible.
History has proved over and over
again that when the birth-rate falls
the whole prosperity of the country
suffers. Take France, for instance.
Her stagnant population has brought
defeat in war, increased criminality,
and lessenirg of virtue and strength.
In Italy, on lne other hand, where the
population is steadily increasing, the
country is progressing by leaps and
bounds"
Sir James Crichton Browne also
blames the mothers of Britain for the
declining birth-rate and the heavy in
fant mortality. He has declared these
facts to be due to an increased disin-
clination on the part Of mothers to
nurse their own offspring
"The extent to which mothers shirk
their responsibilities is lamentable."
he said. "Seduced by the siren calls
of fashion and frivolity, these women
evade their duty-to the loss OF their
offspring"
The Bishop of Ripon declares that
much more terrible than those irreg-
ular alliances which the church had
not sanctioned were those terrible
fashionable marriages where the du-
ties Of life are shirked, and where
marriage is made a mockery. This is
a question affecting society as
whole. for the birth-rate Of almost
every European nation is declining"
The Bishop of London expressed his
firm belief that married life properly
lived is the happiest form Of exist
ence
