In Germany. for the first time, an

In Germany, for the first time, an
election has been set aside as illegal
because a woman was not allowed to
vote. A baroness in Westphalia was
entitled to cast proxy vote at mu-
nicipal election. Finding that her
name had been left off the register,
she protested. Her protest was not
needed, and the election was held
without her. She appealed to the
courts. They quashed the election,
and decided that it must be held over
again. This Westphalia baroness can
shake hands with the women of Des
Moines.

IT'S the knave who changes each

'Tis the fool who wins half the battle

Success is the bride of Endeavor

The time to succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire;
The battle is fought in the home

A good old deacon in Connectl-

of CLANS. When once upon time
he attended a Rhode Island clam

was sorely distressed. But his faith
in prayer was undated. Leaving
the party and going down on his
knees behind a tree, he was heard
to supplicate:

sin of gluttony. Restore my health.

A tariff is simple thing:

That men so many words should bring
To something that is clear.

Cannas

Cannas stand at the head of the
list of bedding plants for the Ameri-
can climate. Their bright colored flow
ers and large leaves make a brilliant
showing all summer long. Their cult
ure is easy and simpe. Plants ready
to set out after all danger of frost is
passed may be obtained from most
florists. There is an immense variety
of colors, and several Towering types.
Cannas are usually used in formal
bedding and planting but excellent re-
suits may be obtained by planting
them in clumps among the hardy
shrubbery or in a border. The best
effect is obtained by planting them
against a dark background. Cannas
make excellent center pieces for all
flower beds. The dark leaved varieties
have become very popular because OF
their rich color. AS individual plants
the cannas are not attractive, but
should always be used for bold plant
ing effects. If plants which have
been started in the greenhouse are
procured this spring, they should be
dug up in the fall after frost has
killed the leaves. Let the stools dry
out thoroughly and store them in a
dry cellar until the following spring.
Divide the stools so as to leave as
much tissue as possible with each bud.
To keep roots of the large Towering
French varieties, place them in
warm cellar in boxes filed with earth
and keep them slightly moist during
the winter.

Oldest Land I'm the World.

Stretching across Canada, north of
the st. Lawrence, and ending in the
regions about the source of the Mis-
sissippi. is'a range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian Highlands, says
Charles d. Stewart in the Atlantic
These hills are really mountains that
are almost worn out, for they are the
oldest land in America, and, accord
ing to Agassiz, the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face of the globe,
these mountains came up-a long ISL
and of primitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against its shores. None
of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
Of the Alleghenies, which were the
next in order. Later the Rockies
started up. The United States grew
southwark from Wisconsin and west
ward from the Blue Ridge An early
view of the country would have shown
large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and a long, thin tongue
of this primitive rock sticking down
from Canada into Minnesota, and
these two growing states looking out
over the waters at the mere begin
nings Of mountain ranges east and
west. They were waiting for the rest
of the United States to appear.

Toad md the Snake.

The following snake story was told
some years ago by a reputable citizen
of Arson County, the Charlottesville
Observer says. Driving along a pull
lie road one day he saw a toad frog
crossing the road at top speed-hit-
ting only the high places and few of
them. AS the frog disappeared in the
bosky underbrush on one side a black
snake in hot pursuit made its appear
ance on the other The story teller
followed the two into the bushes to
see what the result would be. He had
proceeded only q. short distance when
he found the frog at bay, facing the
snake and with the latter circling
about in the effort to make an attack
from the rear. His frogship kept
turning all the time. always facing the
enemy.
Tn reason of this maneuver on the
snakes part was that the frog had in
its mouth, held crosswise and about
the middle, a stick about the size and
length of a lead pencil. The frog
knew the snake could not swallow
him so long as he presented such a
front. The man watched the perform
ance for some time and when he left
the snake was still circling the frog
and the latter facing its enemy on ev-
cry turn.

BACON Hogs.

The bacon type of hog has been
developed under different conditions
and in sections where corn is not the
main farm crop. These breeds of hogs
come from parts where clover, peas,
barley, oats. wheat products and milk
all of which contain a relatively
lower per cent of fat forming elements
than corn. According to the view gen
orally accepted by Psychologists, the
fat which is stored in the body may
have its origin il the digestion of all
three classes of nutrients-proteids
carbohydrates and fats-of the food.
The two latter, however. form the
main source of heat and fat storage in
ali ordinary rations.
Continued feeding through many
generations on highly carbonaceous
food naturally might, be expected to
beget a greater aptitude for the diges-
ton of such food, and, consequently,
a greater tendency to fat storage in
the body. 1t is reasonable to believe
that any of the bacon breed of hogs
would lose their present characters
tics if for a sufficient number of gen.
erations they were confined in the corn
belt. Eventually they would develop
the fat-producing tendencies of the
lard type. That is a conclusion that
one would naturally come to.
