Most men nowadays do not get
much pleasure from dress and scarce.
~ notice the changes OF fashion In
mems clothes. They are vaguely
aware that a hat looks odd when its
shape is old fashioned, and they ac-
cept the hat of the moment because
they do not wish to look odd them
selves. But this is a merely negative
interest. They are also apt to be con-
temptuous of women's greater inter-
est in the fashions, as If 1t were a
mark of frivolity.
This is an ignorant mistake. Dress
is or ought to be an art, and therefore,
il only a minor art, 1t Is more seri.
GUS matter than any Of the games to
which many men give so much time
and pains. Besides. men have only be-
come Indifferent to their clothes In
modern times.
4 In the heroic age Of Elizabeth they
made themselves as smart MS pea
cocks. Great soldiers and poets then
took pains to be in the height of the
fashion, and fashions changed with
some violence and rapidity. In the
eighteenth century, too, which we dc
not think of as time of cffeminacy
and when men were wanting neither
in enterprise nor in seriousness, they
were as splendid and extravagant IN
their dress as women.-London Times

Only the Truth.

A virtue carried to excess may be-
come ridiculous. To such action one
may we'll preach, BE temperate in all
things" even In virtue. Amelia Opie,
the English authoress. was not content
with my half measures, as is shown
In a letter from her quoted In Quaker
Pictures" by Wilfred Whltten. Mrs.
Opie's course of conduct is to be re
spected as proceeding from her con-
scientious nature, but fiction readers
may congratulate themselves that her
opinions are not universal.
Before she became Quaker she
wrote fiction. After her conversion she
was asked to contribute story to a
magazine. Her answer to the editor
ran as follows:
Thou knowest or ought to know that
since I became Friend am not free
to what is, called to make story. I
will write fact for thy perusal or any
little matter of history or truth or a
poem If thou wlshest, but must not
lie and say such and such thing took
place when 1t did not. Dost thou un-

Through Wood. n
Velocity has Il great deal to do
with one substances ability to break

what can be accomplished by COM
paratively soft substance against u
much harder one when the former is'
given enough velocity. a bullet made
of tallow candle would smash fiat If
fired against board from u toy gun,
but when shot from an army rifle it
will go right through the board. A
stream of water has been known to
have such swiftness Of movement that
n sword was broken in two when a

Cyclones have been knownito drive
such frail projectiles as straws well
into n tree.
An interesting experiment showing
what soft substance can do may be
performed by attaching bristol
board disk to the motor of an electric
fan and setting it to revolving ut the
fans usual rate. II piece of wood,
such as a lead pencil, for example, be
carefully applied to the edge Of the
revolving disk, the wood will very
readily be cut through. OF course II

SHALL AGRICULTURE BE
TAUGHT IN RURAL SCHOOLS?

UAO1f1l hSThStI
Iowa is an agricultural state. and
It's great wealth is largely derived
from farm products. How can the
volume and value of these products
be increased?r That is question
which deserves the attention of every
thoughtful citizen, and especially the
members of our state legislature.
The old provelb, knowledge is
power, applies to the farmer just as
forcibly as it does to the artisan Oh
to the professional man.
1t seems to be generally conca4ed
that the time has come when aglf
culture should be generally taught in
the schools of Iowa, but 1t cannot
be taught without competent teach
ers. 1t seems to us that the first !steI
would be to provide schools for the
instruction of teachers Of agriculture.
-Four or five schools, auxiliary to the
State Agricultural college and located
in different parts Of the state might
be good beginning.

rHE SERVANT GIRL QUESTION.

THE SERVANT GiRL QOES liON.
/ know of no better calling, of none
more apt to elevate the mind and i'm
prove the health and to add to tbs
experience and knowledge of a young
woman, than the privilege Of assist
ing in the affairs of the home of Gull
tured men and women. In such a
. home she finds every means for de-
velopment through the daily inter-
course with persons who have had
the advantages of wider education
and who in many instances have ac-
quired il not inherited the most kind
ly disposition. -Arthur Won Briesen
in his book on the servant-girl ques-
ton.
The author is all right in what he
says, but the scarcity of homes such
as he describes is what queers the
whole problem.
If there were not SO many homes,
in which the servant girl is unneces
sarily made to feel that her position
is mental, there would not be SC
much trouble finding servant girls.

THE RETURN OF OUR BATTLE
SHIPS.

After an absence of 41s days, our
fleet of battleships which sailed De
cember 16, 1907, on a globe circling
cruise Of $4,000 miles, anchored safe
ly in Hampton Roads last Monday.
This much is certain: our battle
ships have proved by demonstration
that they are seagoing vessels. And
the fact that this great fleet was able
to make such a cruise, on schedule
time, and without mishap or accident
Of any Importance, warrants the
American people in believing that
slip for ship and gun for gun our
vessels are the equals of those OF
the same size and date in any other
navy of the world. And man for man
our seamen and gunners have few
equals and no superiors anywhere.
