THE WOMAN AFTER MARRIAGE,

A11N WO1AN AFTER MARRIAGE.
When woman marries she, in
nine cases out of ten, suffers from
arrested mental growth, if indeed
she was ever progressively inclined.
Her outlook on the world in general
becomes smaller, her views cramped,
her horizon confined to the four
walls of her home, her household
cares, and the round of social du-
ties. IT before marriage she has
been engaged in business, mixing
with men and women in the free
masonry engendered by business life,
this sudden restriction will doubtless
prove very irksome, and it rests
mainly with herself - with the
strength of her own personality
whether she be able to break these
bonds. On the one hand, she may
prove herself to be large-hearted,
open-minded woman, taking an in
telligent interest in the affairs of
life, and capable of wisely advising
her husband in business matters; on
the other, she will either develop
into a genteel housemaid or live a
life of elegant idleness, according to
her social status.
Many men think that women have
no business qualifications, and they
come home in the evening tired and
cross, making a mountain out of
every mole-hill, while, if they would
remember that two heads are better
than one, and unburden themselves
Of their worries, a woman's ready
wit will often find an easy way out
Of difficult situation.
Hobbies INDUCED in before mar
riage should not be neglected, and
every woman, no matter how busy
she may be, should find time to read.
A broad outlook on everything in
general is not incompatible with the
highest development of the wife and
mother. No woman should entirely
sacrifice her own development and
social obligations, even for the sake
of the home. While husband and
family naturally come first in her re-
gard, mental growth is surely as i'm
portant to woman as to a man; in
a measure, more so, as the mother is
the one who has the larger share of
a child's training.
For the sake of her children, she
ought to cultivate her mind, and just
as she strengthens her own charac-
teristics so, by constant association
and learning, will the same traits ap-
pear in the children. There is not
the slightest necessity for baby-talk;
it is a foolish custom, and makes
both mother and child appear at a
disadvantage. AS soon as a child
can speak the parents ought to talk
to him, not in the rounded periods
they would use in conversing with a
person of their own age, but cor
rectly as regards pronunciation. The

1t would be much better for a girl
OF she would start something at
home-teaching, poultry or bee
keeping, or even stenography in a
nearby town; and save up money to
go away on visits to places where
more excitement may be found. She
will then have an opportunity to test
for herself whether or not it is worth
while to give up a home, which can
never be regained, for the less GER
tain joys that her imagination has
pictured.
The trouble with girls trying to
do anything at home is that usually
she does not go into it in the right
way to make it a real money-making
business. If she undertakes to raise
poultry she invests in an incubator
and a few fancy eggs, and attends to
business when she has nothing else
to do. Put as much time and intel
ligence into it as she does into her
employers business as a stenogra-
pher and she would make far more
money and be oh, so much more in
dependent than as a working girl.
have seen working girls who went to
work at eight O'Clock and got home
after six in the evening. They did
their sewing on Sundays and their
laundry WOrk-to save money-at
night and in the morning before time
to go to work. Suppose they were
to put an equal amount of time and
energy into the poultry business!
They could then do for themselves
what they are now doing for an en-
ployer, and get the wealth which
they are helping their employer to
accumulate.
To the girl whose father is able to
support her now and to provide for
her future there is open of all lives
the most pleasant and care-free. l
do not mean a life of idleness, for
that is the most miserable; but life
devoted to some pursuit for which
she has a particular taste or talent
A girl, for instance, who has a talent
for music, with little money at her
disposal, might make of herself a
finished musician. In so doing she
would give something of real value
to the World-of as much value as
half dozen or so of children, of
which the world has already a gen
erOus surplus.
Race suicide" 1 hear some one
exclaim with horror; but when we
look back four hundred years and
see how our country was then a
bowling wilderness and observe it
now, with it's thousands of cities
peopled with millions of people it
does not seem as though there were
much danger yet of race suicide.
This is question to trouble future
generations. The problem for us is
the improvement and education of
teeming millions who are now bur-
dening the country.

Massachusetts Man Produces TuberS of Great Superiority.
Spends Years in Experimenting with Various Vegetables and Makes Many Wonderful Discoveries
 His Cantaloupes Are Fine.
opyright by clinedlnst. Washington. D. C.

Montague, Mass.-Bug- proof pota- the ratio of food products in them over the average tuber, cantaloupes that run sixteen to forty eight pounds, peas that will be ready for picking in half the time that green peas usually require, corn in half dozen colors and of attractive taste-these things are some of the achievements of Rev. Amos N. Somers, pastor of the little Unitarian parish here, who has spent years delving into the chemistry of nature and has accomplished what he believes is a valuable thing for man. kind, especially in potato culture, for this is a necessity of necessities.
 MT. Somers tells his story by say ing that the potato rarely natures a seed and notes that the great potato raising companies in Maine offer large sums for small measure of seed.
 Of course, everybody knows," he continued that potatoes grow from planting the eye of the vegetable in the ground in the spring. Hybridiza- tion by mixing the pollen is not a new thing. but with the potato you can't do it, for there's no pollen to mix So, after many years of trying, l have evolved what l call graft hybridiza- tion. The problem was harder, as the potato grows below the ground, while fruits and many vegetables grow above and the stalks or stems can be grafted in the familiar way.
 So one day it occurred to me to graft the sprouts together just at the surface of the ground. l took two cuttings, sliced them off and then tas. tened them together with the bodies of the tubers touching and the two parts of the sprouts also lying close against each other. Fastening these together, l planted them with the top of the graft just above the ground. At the juncture of the two new cellular tissue body grew, and from this a new variety of potato grew. I got this new variey, which call the Standard. from graft hybrid of the Green mountain and the Lady Somers, named after my wife.
 The Standard is a very smooth skin potato. with eyes hardly sunken below the surface. This last fact makes it an economical potato, for there is less waste in peeling it and the analysis shows it has jus. twice the amount of foodstuff in it and twice as much starch as the average potato. The average one shows 15 to IS per cent. foodstuff. In body weight 100 of my potatoes will greatly outweigh 100 potatoes of the ordinary sort of the same size, and on busnel measure the same difference occurs The Lady Somers I got from the Early Rose and the old Delaware potatoes.

Who Pays for MIX at Sea

When the steamer left Seattle in June Kehoe shipped four fine cows to St. Michael. The Mackinaw was IS days en route, having spent several days ashore on the Yukon flats. The cows gave their milk each day, and it helped to elaborate the bill of fare. Now Kehoe wants pay for five gallons of milk day for 80 days-total, 90 gallons.
 In replying to Kehoe President Schubach tersely says:
 "As to the milk you say was used for IS days. would like to know what you would have done with it. You would have had to leave it in the cows, thrown it overheard or drunk it yourself. You had perfect right to refuse it to the crew, as the milk was yours. You gave it to them without understanding on our part. It is up to you and the cows"
The Green Forest tribune., 1909-10-22
Owner of Cows Thinks Steamship Company Should Reimburse Him
 for Product Enjoyed by Crew.

Seattle, Wash-A puzzling milk problem has been presented to steam ship owners here. The cows gave milk while they were aboard the steamer; they were milked punctual- " each day and the milk was used by the crew. These facts are admitted, but now the question is, who is to pay the owners of the cows?
 This is the knotty problem which has been put upt to Albert Schubach, president of the Standardization Steamship Company. MT. Schubach says this claim is the most absurd of the thousands which big steamship companies receive annually.
 John Kehoe of Panama Is the claim ant, and he declares that unless the company pays for the milk used by the members of the steamer Mackin- avs crew he will seek legal redress. MT. Schubach has replied, stating that the company is in no wise responsible for what disposition was made of the product from the gentle bovines.
