Riches of tEna West.

Especially interesting because of the glowing accounts of western prosper ity and money making attractions which have been actively discussed through this section of the country in the last few months is the testimony of John NJ Rood. sheriff of Jackson county Kansas. According to stories which have. come to us in the slow and phlegmatic east, nearly every fam ily out west has from one to a dozen automobiles, and money is so plenti- to the cattle Sheriff Rood is quoted, in a report from Kansas City, as say ing that he has from six to eight mo- tor cars in his possession all the time on attachment suits. He remarks that he never has to take the machines on bills for tires or for repairs, but that mines times out of ten it is the grocer or the dry goods merchant who has brought suit to collect his bill
 This recalls the story of the Maine farmer who was accosted- by the oc- cupants of 8 passing automobile, who demanded to know why he did not leave the miserable, unremunerative soil of Maine and go. as they had done many years before, to Kansas, which they described as a veritable Fl Dora do Wal was his laconic conclusion, I'm mighty glad you fellows are do- ing so well out there, for 1 hold mort eages on seven Kansas farms.

SIauahter of Swallows.

The writer tells of a recent experi- ence he had while walking past charming country house in a corner Of the Maritime Alps. Under the caves were scores of uninhaibited swallows nests, and on asking the reason of the owner of the house the latter replied;
 Yes. oh, yes we had plenty of sWal- lows even up to the last few years. 1 assure you it was amusing; they used to perch on the cornice and you could kill as many as you liked And over there on the parapet of the bridge across the stream they used to sit some days in long rows talking together. You could kill eight or ten with one shot. It is curious, but there are hardly any now.
 And what pray, do you do with the birds when you have killed them 7" the visitor asked.
 Why of course, we eat themi They are not as good as nightingales or robins. but it's game, anyhow"
 Meanwhile some of the large news papers in the south of France are talk ing up the cause of the swallows, and NJ. Cunisset-C -Carnot. in the Temps, ranges himself on their side with his eloquent articles, which he ends with the following appeal to authority:
 Together with all farmers, all bird lovers and all who are attracted by the charm and grace, the joy and beauty, which the swallow adds to our coun- try ask myself whether it is not time for the wise legislator to interfere seriously in order to put an end to this regrettable survival of barbarism."

1sren kikucI1i on the Status of Wo-
 man in Japan.

Baron Kikuchi. the president of the Imperial university of Japan. has re- gently spoken as follows of the posi- ton of his countrywomen:
 The Japanese woman is highly hon. cred by her husband and sons, and she finds contentInent in the exercise of the. virtues of self-sacrifice and self control. which are given the first place in our ethical code. It is true that men take precedence over women in some things For instance, they are always served first at the table. and on entering a room the wife always walks behind her husband. But these things are not, after all, so very inn rorrant- The rules laid down under the old feudal system compelled every woman to learn submission to her ia their when she was single subnis- sion to her husband when she was married and submission to her sons when widowed Her chief duties were the care of the household the training Of her children and ministering to the needs of her husba nd's parents with whom she lived The Japanese theory is that every old name must be kept up and it is considered an insult to ones ancestors to die without leaving descendants- A man who has no sons usually adopts one, who assumes the family name. and who in turn becomes the head of the hosse- If there is a daughter in such a family it is the custom of the adopted son to marry her When a man marries. his wife usually becomes a member of his house but in some cases a husband becomes a member of his wife's house No marriage is considered legal in Japan until either the hus band or wife is registered in the house book of the ether While the head of the house is theoretically the oldest male member thereof. 1t frequently happens that father resigns this office to one of his sons and he is then obliged to render 10 that son obedience in matter per raining to the welfare of the house There are instances in which a woman has been the acknowledged head of house and in such cases the male members Of the family have been obliged to render obedience to her The consent of the head Of a house is necessary for the marriage of one of its members his authority superseding even that of the parents The new civil code. however has greatly cur tailed the power of the house head Both men and women are now entitled 10 hold individual property and the rights of women in this particular are practically the same as those of men.

Gravely the conductor handed the dear old soul two new. clean, unperforated transfers and she sat blissfulIy back, her mind at ease. her transfers safe and her trust in the good man to put her off at her son Georges place. which he did. The incident was a sim pie one. but it served to illustrate the kindness of the conductor, who so easily might have made it miserable for the old lady and those who wit messed her distress Our city has reputation for the high grade of it's car men and justly so They are lot of men. however, who meet a quantity of human nature in their work, and gen erally get the best of it.-Portland Express

A False Reucrt.

The current report that the fumes from automobiles run by gasoline drive mosquitoes from the vicinity of the public roads is an unmitigated fake. Aand so is the story that oil sprinkled on the roads has the same effect. Had they been true, hardly a mosquito would be faund in Bergen. Essex, Hur- son, Passaic or Union counties, where automobile fumes and oiled roads are aoUncantly iii evidence. The only ef- fectiVe use to be made of oil in the mosquito crusade. is to sprinkle 1t over stagnant pools, and thus smother the
 .Wrigglers." After the pest is hatch ed and has taken wing, only a com paratively few can be destroyed or driven away. The war is one of ex- termination by prevention. rather than by hand slapping. citronella, pyrethrum powder. gasoline fumes, etc The main thing is to break up the hatcheries Much has already been done in this direction but the presence of mul- dtuGe of pipiens this year proves that much more remains to be done Newark News

Today, Uncle Abner Dunton of Hope reached the 103d milestone and nu- merous postcards from his hosts of friends from all over New England are conveying to him congratulations. He is also entertaining a few callers. He is enjoying excellent health and nearly every day walks from the house to the postoffice. It is said by some that MT. Dunton is the oldest person in New England. His mind is perfectly clear and his memory good. He is a member of Hope grange and deeply interested in the affairs of the organization. If MT Dunton retains his present strength until next Sep tember he will no doubt be out to cast his vote, and as he has always been a good democrat he will proba- bly support the ticket of that party with his ballot. He makes his home with his son. Abner F. Dunton of Hope.-Portland Express
