Broiled Chicken.

1t requires very clear fire for
broiling chicken, and even with much
care they are apt to scorch more or
less; so to make the work easier and
overcome all difficulty they may be
partially cooked in the oven.
Order the chicken dressed for
broiling at the market. and wipe with
cheesecloth wrung out of cold
water. Place in buttered dripping
pan, skin side down; sprinkle with
salt and pepper and dot over with bits
of butter; bake in hot oven fifteen
minutes. Remove to hot, well
creased broiler and broil over a clear
fire ten minutes, turning the broiler
frequently that all parts may be
broiled evenly. Arrange on a hot
platter, spread with butter, sprinkle
with salt and garnish with parsley

Opinions of Children.

According to new theories concern
ing parental government, parents are
supposed to respect the opinions of
their children, at least to treat the
budding ideas with due consideration.
AS an example of the justice of this
decision one has only to recall to
mind how the opinions of two gener-
ations differ, often because of chang
ing customs and conditions. The
elders fail to realize that the younger
must be heard tolerantly, and so the
parents instead of extending the
courtesy of listening politely to the
younger folk, deliver their ultimatum
as though there were no appeal and
then are astonished because conf
dence and understanding grow less
between them and their children.
Those parents who as their sons and
daughters develop can encourage an
, expression of opinion so they know
the lines upon which young minds
are working and with gentle argu-
ment and reason can control and mold
it, exercise an influence as strong as
that held during childhood. But it is
only by toleration and gentleness that
this can be accomplished, for growing
boys and girls are too old and expert
enced for an assertion of direct au-
thority to influence.
Mothers are not infrequently grief
stricken that their daughters as the
girls grow older keep them from
their thoughts and ambitions, giving
confidence to others. In most cases
this is the mothers own responsible
ity, because she tries to exert author.

The secret of the delicious ham

ity or pressure when others give only
sympathy.
To sympathize is not to agree; it is
to understand the other side. Moth
ers should bear this in mind and meet
their daughters on a common mental
basis, even when trying to make the
younger see that her attitude is mis-
taken.
Confidence between mother and
daughter is to be maintained at all
costs on the part of the former. and
a test of her success as parent is the
ability to strike the right note of SYM
pathy with such gentleness and un-
derstanding as to influence a girl to
a right way of thinking, even when
the latter is inclined to differ.
1t is not by failure to agree that
sons and daughters are alienated but
by total lack of federation from the

any particular period or style is OBJ

MORE BRIEFS IN STANDARD CASE,

Washington, March 1o.-Altt6ugh
brief ION the part of the %ppel-
lants" was already on file jXthe su-
preme Court of the UnitA States, a
second group of legal hlent of the
Standard Oil today p;esented to the
court an Independent defence of that
organization.
Particular stress is laid by counsel
on the claim in the brief that the rec
ord shows no unreasonable advance
in the aevrage prices of the Standard
Oil.
Today's brief is devoted to an at
tempt to prove ten points. On these
the case is submitted to the court.
and they are as follows:
1. The plants and properties of
the Standard Oil Company have al
ways been in a common ownership
since their acquisition or creation.
2. The Sherman Act has no appli-
cation to the acquisition by the STAN
dard Oil Company, of New Jersey, of
the stocks of manufacturing and min
ing or producing corporations.
3. The contracts, combinations
and conspiracies of Section / of the
Act are contracts, combinations and
conspiracies which restrict the free
dom of the parties or strangers in the
conduct of their business.
4. The acquisition of the stocks Of
the subsidiary companies by the Stan
dard Oil Company, of New jersey in
1899 was not such combination or
conspiracy in restraint Of trade.
5. Monopoliizing or attempting to
monopolize or combing with anyone
else to monopolize when this proceed
ing was instituted.
Z. The ownership of the pipe line
system has not been a means to mo-
nopolizing.
8. The decree enormously includes
and operates upon sevral of the ap-
pellant companies.
9. The sixth section of the decree
Outstanding Of the corporations) Is
unwarranted and impracticable in va
rious Of it's provisions.
10. The Circuit Court had no ju-
risdiction over the appellants.

One Fertilizer Application or Two.

OHc rcrtllZer App1CatlOn or TWO!
The Weekly Press Bulletin Of the
University Of Wisconsin, in referring
to experiments in soil improvement
being made by the Experiment Sta
ton of that institution, says:
"An interesting fact developed by
this work is that on heavily manured
lands there is excessive teaching OF
fertilizing materials, particularly
phosphates, which were formerly sup
posed to have been retained in the
soil in a form available for future
c"ops. Examination of the drainage
waters shows that if large amcunls
OF these materials are added there
are heavy losses which cannot he re-
gained"
This is in direct line with the OBJ
servation of farmers and the eXreri-
ment of the South, namely, that
where large quantities of fertilizers
were to be applied to sandy soils two
applications, one before planting and
one during the growth of the crop
frequently gave best results. il does
not follow, however, that this holds
good for clay or clay loan soils. for
the available evidence points very
clearly to the conclusion that On such
soils the expense of two appiiGat tons
is not justified by the increase Of
yields which results.-Progre Ssive
