Miss BradIey's Lecture.

Miss May Bradley delivered an un-
common and good lecture at the
Parish house on Wednesday evening,
under the auspices of the woman's
guild of Trinity church. The lecture
was without even the pretense of en-
tertainment Of the lighter kind, and in
this regard was quite refreshing.
Miss Bradley thinks deeply, and
with intense earnestness expresses her
self in pure English, in low and
pleasant voice. She speaks of Purity
as a necessity of Divine life and holds
that the world is not so corrupt as
ignorant, and she explains why ciVili-
zation produces so many prodigals
and hypocrites.
Miss Bradley's gospel is hopeful
and wholesome; and her lecture is
womanly, yet strong, and makes for
good. She had a good sized audience
and by her hearers was highly APP
preciated.

DIRECTIONS FOR
MAKING HENS LAY

Feed regularly and adopt Il
regular system of feeding.
Don't throw the food on
muddy places.
If thrown in the mud the
hen necessarily must eat
snow with the feed, and this
Chills the fowl.
Food thrown into the mud
causes the hen to take cold
mud into the stomach, which
IS very undesirable.
In the morning feed ground
food mixed, with warm water,
and to this add two heaping
teaspoonsful of PRUSSIAN
POULTRY TONIC.
Before the fowls go to roost
warm some whole corn and
give them.
Follow these directions and your hens will
become bread winners.
You can procure Prussian
Poultry Tonic at

tanning exhibits of farm products,
fruits, etc, from the new country
along it's Pacific Coast extension in
the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho and

Those exhibits are interesting.
They show the possibilities of this
new country. You are cordially in
vited to visit this car and to inspect
the exhibits. Admission is free.
The country along this new line Is
being rapidly settled by a good class
of farmers. The land is fertile, IRA

think 1t ought to be. Maybe some body has hidden 1t. Maybe more of it has gone into watch cases and wedding rings than the records show. Maybe. because gold is so exclusive, the statistical gentlemen who try to keep tab on it are almost certain to go wide of the mark. The one thing certain is that the steady rise in prices during the last few years and the present outcry against increased cost of living are chargeable to the eagerness of the gold Hunters and the rapidity with whios they have been bringing it from its hiding places The worlds production of gold ir 1896 was s2o2, DOC: in 1897 it was s410,00O, 900, or more tan twice as great. From 1896 to 1907 the gold product of the United States increas ed from s53,000,0e0 to ss0,000. 900 which isn't far from a gain of 10( per cent.

SSiTlCiSiNG 4 MEXICAN MEN

Mrs. Eleanor Glyn. our English cousin. who wrote the book which had some little difficulty in making It's way through Uncle Sam's mails as did the lady herself in American so- ciety, has written another volume. In this last attempt the author of Three Weeks" has put her impressions of America and Americans in a series of letters written home by Elizabeth. an almost divorced young English woman, to her mamma.
 The subject matter is deathly dull, says the For, Worth Record. The English lady has not recounted a really amusing or exciting incident throughout the whole book. But what t lacks in material she has attempt ed to supply in the style of handling. which would be salacious were it not stupid. Mrs. Glyn evidently wanted 10 write very. very naughty book, one of the kind she mentions quite softly and with glance over the shoulder lest one be overheard. but she has fallen far short of her am bition Instead of being fascinating brightly. wittily colorful. as she quite evidently thought herself. she has been merely commonplacely coarse.
 The best things-in fact. the only good thing-about her book is that she compliments American mem oh no. to be sure she didn't intend to do so-she thinks she really criticis ed them most severely.
 American men," she says. "as fal as I have yet seen. are quite anothel sex to English or French mean you feel more as if you were out witf kind aunts or grandmothers or be nevolent uncles than just men. The! don't try to make the least love t' you or say things with two mean ings and they are perfectly brother ly and serious"
 Mrs Glyn does not like American men because they do not say thing with two meanings Probably Amer jeans had never thought of that be fore. They know it is quite true tha American men do not say things witt two meanings. either to their owl country women or to foreign visitors In this it would seem that they ar just a little bit different from tn Engllshmen and Europeans-at leas i Mrs Glyn found the matter enougl of a novelty to particularly common upon. But to clear our Englisl li.tHuS Ot tht dS ycioAoho Nhish -'at Glyn's remarks obviously imply. would seem that Mrs. Glyn herself i the explanation.
 The lady. in her comments O American men, considers also thei clothes and says that the clothes ar very funny-that the shoulders ar padded out So that every man is pei fectly square" Mrs. Clyn and he lopinion wouldn't be worth consider ing were 1t not for what she. in he attempts at criticism, has pointe out-she has called attention [ what We had taken as a matter Q course. which is that in other thing besides the shoulders of his coat, tn American man is perfectly square.
