BARNYARD. COMPETITION

New Jersey farmers have been boasting of late the egg laying industry of their. hens. But they and their hens must look to their laurels There is competition in Michigan From the Upper Peninsula Mrs. Maloney reports that her fifteen hens have land since December A last lO5 dozens of eggs, and they are still busy She claims for her flock the record But she evokes from Mr. Lindner, of Dowagiac (which is in the Lower Peninsula), the claim that his eight hens from December 2 1908, to April 30, 1909, produced fifty seven dozens and five eggs But the town of Bellcome has in Mrs. A. B. Hoyt another aspirant for the honor of the greatest achievement of hens. Her flock of thir- ty, since February l, has enabled her to sell 190 dozens of eggs for $40. besides furnishing her family of three with all the eggs they wanted to eat. y
 It is difficult to reduce these conflicting claims lay l05 dozen eggs in eight months and ten days, and if eight hens lay fifty-seven dozens and five eggs in four months and twenty nine days and thirty hens lay eggs worth $40 in seven months, besides supplying the wants of family of three, who wins Here is problem for the higher calculus. These rival barnyards seem to defy mathematics. Most assuredy the conscientious and industrious hens of Michigan have outdone those of New Jersey, unless the indefatigable suburban correspondent brings his facile and imaginative pen to their vindication. But these rivalres in output do not seem, the city house wife may mournfully observe to affect market to a mathematical proposition. If fifteen hens prices.

PASSING EVENTS
Trade Education.

Trade Education.
 The report of it's committee on industrial education shows commendable economic insight on the part of the Federation of Labor in New York City. In their educational progress, the intelligent unions have ceased to fight machin cry. to restrict apprenticeship, or to decrease production. The federation now advocates the
 inclusion of the general elements of mechanical trades in the school curriculum, particularly in that of the public high school Besides the routine knowledge of particular trade, the knowledge of the theoretical principles of phys ics and chemistry underlying all trades is rec ognized by the committee as an invaluable addi- ton to the workers equipment. The departure is quite as much in the direction of liberaliz- ing the ruie-of thumb knowledge acquired by practice as it is of mparting a utiitarian cast to popular education. The committee is inn pressed with the reviving demand for the al- round mechanic as entrusted with the special ized trade worker.

GIVING THE CREDIT

One expert in such matters pictures this years crops as breaking all records The pros poets never were so good for the corn crop, and the average is enormous. How much we owe to the enactment of the Aldrch bill It is true that the sun gave its light, the clouds their rain, and the earth nourishment to the seed, but of what avail were earth and clouds and sun had il not been for the Aldrich tariff bill, that taught the sun to shine released the blessed rains, and lent fertility to the soil?
 If we thus anticipate the argument of the next congressional campaign, it is that there may be less delay in enlightening the ignorant who are disposed to give some credit to the Heavenly Father at the expense of Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island.
 And Aldrich doesn't like that. He feels hurt about it.

DIVORCE IN CANADA
Says the Boston Herald


 According to the figures published by the St. John Globe, which gives the statistics by years, only l36 divorces have been granted m Canada during the past forty years The fg- ures are surprising, but it must be remembered that national morality is not matter of com parative divorce statistics. y
 Nevertheless, if the figures are correct, Can ada is to be congratulated, and may reasonably lay the hatterng junction to its soul that the marriage relation is much more sacredly re- garded there than it is in the United States Relatively, these figures must indicate, indeed a surprisingly satisfactory condition of affairs to the north of us.
 If there is one thing above all others that we should be frankly ashamed of in these United States, it is the ease with which the marriage state is dissolved; and the trivial reasons often successfully assigned to bring about that disso- lution are notoriously to our discredit One may, at comparatively slight expense free him. self or herself from the matrimonial yoke with little difficulty that it is actually startling. An allegation of some sort-practicaly any thing that may be construed into 'cruel treat ment" will do, for instance, a legal residence" " in state designedly lax in the matter of di- vorce laws, a lawyers fee or so and the trick is done, True, many grotesque situations are created-such as man having a wife in one state who is not his wife in through these proceedings now and then, but they seem in no wise deterrent to the ever increasing army of divorced people in the country, nevertheless. On the stage, and among certain members of the so-called ''smart set, i" marriage is nothing much more than progressive polygamy, in fact.
 National morality is not altogether matter of comparative divorce statistics, to he sure but looseness in the marriage relation is not sign that our national morality is all that it might be, or that we ought not to be heartily chagrined that Canada makes showing so far ahead of ours. A divorce for cause is one thing; divorce for convenience is quite anoth- CT. Perhaps if we had some sort of federal regulation of divorce, it might be that the for mer would he the rule and the latter the excep- tion. And it may be that Canada is able to boast the record in the matter of divorce that it does because it handles the problem more in teligently, and along more uniform lines than we do. In any event, Canada has "a right to be proud of its divorce statistics as compared with ours

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HOUSE

It is calculated that if the next census gives the country 90,000,000 inhabitants, it will be necessary to raise the unit of representation in the national house from 1000 to 225,000, if the membership of that body is not to be al
 lowed to exceed 400. But however desirable it might be to keep the house from increasing in size, any attempt to raise the unit of representa- ton is likely to meet with opposition, as it would operate to deprive several states of one of their representatives Under a 225000 aIlot ment Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska and perhaps one or two other states west of the Mississippi would lose a member of the house. So would Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. So, too, probably, would South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and few other southern states.

JUST A KNOOKER

There was a sound of knocking.
 ''Harkl exclaimed the Man. The sound was repeated
 The Man trembled
 Hope filled his breast
 Long and weary had been his struggle, and now-and now-perhaps he dared not give utterance to his hope.
 The Woman ntuitivey knew what was in his thoughts. She was more bold, being Woman. Perhaps it is Opportunity knocking" she suggested.
 The Man threw open the door.
 There was no one there.
 "Who knockss" he cried, but the night wind merely mocked him.
 And then the truth dawned upon the Man, and sadly he returned to his task, for he realized that it was only some. of his neighbors using the hammer!

TaLe ot q "BLack Mansmg."


 An old story that carries it's own moral has impressed as new Colonel Watterson. This story may, therefore, bear the repetition that he gives It is to the effect that a "back man. my" from somewhere between the Mason and Dixon line and the southern shores of Dixie, chanced to be in New England. Invited out to dine with a prominent family, Aunt Charity re- sponded in the affirmative and attended the function, impelled by curiosity rather than lured by the honor intended. About the time the salad was served the hostess inquired of her guest whether it did not seem strange to her to be seated at banquet with persons of anoth- CT race. She replied that it did The hostess said that she supposed there would be no dup- cation of her hospitality to Aunt Charity upon her return to the south, for which she proclaim ed an abiding affection.
 And the guest of honor replied in the follow ing words:
 ''No, ma 'am. My white folks is gen-u-wine ladies and gentlemen"
