do good. She realizes that vigorous
mind can only dwell in healthy body.
and that it would be Il misdirected ex-
ercise of maternal care to force her
children to school under conditions of
exposure which endanger their bodily
health
improved roads would be a great
factor in reducing the percentage of H.
literacy which exists throughout the
country. Our present illiteracy cannot
be reduced to any appreciable' extent
except by marshaling all of the chill
dren. both city and country, into the
schoolrooms. This can only be accom-
plished by a system of compulsory edu-
cation. Some of our states have al
ready passed compulsory education
laws. and in many other states the sen
timent in favor of such laws is so pro-
nounced as to indicate their early ell
actment These laws prove Il bless
Ing when wisely framed and properly
administered. There are no obstacles
to their efficient administration in our
cities. Everybody is in close proxim-
ity to the schoolhouses and can easily
reach them with but little exposure in
the worst weather. But in the rural
districts the opposite is true. If all
as to remain high and dry it would be
possible to successfully enforce such
II law even in the rural districts, but
with the present condition of most Of
the roads it is impracticable. And the
states in their efforts to thus bestow a
blessing upon their children would be
attempting an unkind benefaction for
which they would pay by resultant
loss in the physique and mental vigor
of our future generations.
Church attendance would also be
stimulated by road improvement.
When one has nice smooth road to
travel over he doesn't mind driving
three or four miles to church. Small
congregations would thus be augment
ed. The people would become inter-
ested in and take a pride in their
churches. Larger and more comfort
able churches would be built. and both
children and grown people would at
tend church more regularly than they
do now with our bad roads and distant
and churches, for church
going is not only beneficial from the
religious atmosphere which pervades
churches. but there is also an attractive
social feature connected with them
which is benefit and q blessing to the
people.
The schools and churches of COM
munity are its greatest moral and edu-
cational forces. Next to them per-
haps stands rural mail delivery, which
brings the people of the rural districts
in daily touch with the cities and bust
ness world. 1t places in their hands
the daily papers. magazines and all of
the current literature of the country,
so that they may be as we'll informed
as to what is transpiring in the politi-
cal. literary and commercial world as
their brothers in the city. The benefi-
cial effects of this service upon the
happiness and home comforts of our
rural population are Unreasonable, and
nothing contributes to it's efficiency
and regularity more than improved

Wood Mines Of Upper Tonkin,

A curious source Of wealth is re-
ported by the French consul at Mon
gaze, in upper Tonkin. 1t lies in wood
mines. The wood originally was a
pine forest which the earth swallowed
in some cataclysm.
Some of the trees are yard In
diameter. They lie III slantlng di-
rection and in sandy soils which cover
them to a depth of about eight yards

served, 1t is thought the geological

For men in banked cabins in the arc
tic SHOWS and men in the wind beaten
ships on remote seas, for men in tropic
5ungles and men in forgotten wastes,
this day Is Christmas. We who spend
the day in the friendly security Of cit
les and draw about us the familiar in
timacies of home and daily friendships
are apt to forget the wonder of this,
and the significance. But whether they
realize 1t or not, men draw together
during these hours. And this Is to

fections. But the deepest and might
est things are the nearest, and In the
heart of this day is the hope of the
race. Two thousand years ago there
was one who spoke from a mountain.
His message vas the brotherhood OF
all men. Another time he said: Il am
the way, the truth, and the life" To
day men follow the way though they
do not know, and obey the truth
though they do not see. and live the
life though they are unconscious of its
pulse beat through the world. For the
way is the way of the race marching
painfully to its far goal.
The life of the individual and the
lives of nations are borne upon the
bosom of a great tide. Wise men call
1t by different names, but no man
lives effectually save in its full cur
rent. Whether we state it in terms
of religion. or of philosophy, or pol.

of the brotherhood of man.

Of all ducks for farm and practical
purposes none stands higher in popu-
lar esteem than the White Pekin. 1t
is valuable for raising on a large
scale and is the most easily raised OF
all. 1t is a very timid bird and must
be handled quite carefully. 1t was
imported from China in the early sew
enties, and has steadily grown in pop
llarity since it's introduction into this
country.
The Pekin duck has a distinct type
of it's own and differs from all others
in the shape and carriage of it's body.
In size these ducks are very large,
some reaching as high as 20 pounds
to the pair. Their flesh Is very deli
cate and free from grossness, and they
are considered among the best Of table
fowls.
The standardized PeKin has a long,
finely formed head, a bill of medium

size, of an orange color, that is per-
fectly free from any mark or color
other than yellow. The color of the
bill is very important for exhibition
birds. and not i~nfrequently one of the
best brakes is disqualified for having
a faint tracing of black in the bill.
The eyes are OF a deep ~leaden-blue
color. The neck of a Pekin should be
neatly curved; in the drake it should
be large and rather long, while that of
the duck is of medium length. The
back is long and broad; breast is
round, full, and very prominent. The
body is long and deep, and the stand
ard describes the carriage Of the body
as elevated in front, sloping downward
toward the "a The wings are short,
carried closely and smoothly against

to restrain them in an Enclosure. The
tail is erect, more so than in any 9TH

self in any way that he will not after
ward, under any circumstances, think
of doing it. The weight Of the body
can be thrown against the lead strap
without fastening it. The man who
is dragged around by an animal and
has his legs broken or possibly is
dragged to death because he has been
so foolish as to fasten a strap to him
self has only himself to blame for his
foolishness. But the child who has
been killed in this way is often a
sacrifice to the carelessness Of the
parents in not teaching him how to
lead stock.

LEAD VICIOUS
FARM ANIMALS
Parents Should Teach Children
How to Properly Handle
Horses and CattIe-Many
Accidents Happen.
(By M. TYLER IRONS.)

Every boy and girl on every farm
In the country should be taught very.
early in life that under no circum-
stances should they undertake to lead
an animal Of any kind by tying the
lead strap around the wrist or around
the body, Or fastening it to them
selves in any way. There is hardly a
week that the papers do not contain
a report of some child or some young
man or girl being dragged to death
by a frightened or angry animal.
From the time he is big enough to
work around stock the child should be
taught how to lead an animal and he
should be so repeatedly warned
against tying the lead strap to him
