Autumn the Best of All.

Winter, summer, spring and fall -
That the CHEEKY one of autumn
Is the very best of all.
For the tresS with rosy apples
Are bent and loaded down;
There are apples hanging on the

And apples all around.
The corn is ripe and golden
And in shocks now on the ground
The pumpkins are all ripened
And the vines all turued brown.
The turkeys are all slick and fat,
Thanksgiving Day most here,
And | think of all the seasons
Falls the best of all the year.

Domestic Economy.

Someone has given the following
as the aims of domestic economy:
To lesson housework by mechani-

To conserve steps and energy by
systematic organization and CO.
operation in housework.
To save money by gaining a
knowledge of how to spend it.
To supply rational food to the
family.
To understand the well-being of
the family and the home.
To make the home the expression
of the mental, moral and spiritual
culture of the family.
To make develop ment of charac-
ter the aim Of the home.

Self Taxation.

People in general seem to enjoy
growing about taxes, This subject
makes a theme for conversation in
the family. 1t inspires the loungers
in the corner grocery, and it puts
life into many a political campaign.
Why our forefathers actually plung-
ed into rebellion, fought seven years
and finally won our national indie
pendence from Great Britain, on a
question of taxes. If you want to
see a hot" town meeting in a back
country township, just propose an
extra tax for some new road and a
bridge.
And yet there is one sort of tax
that is not grumbled at That is to
say, the taxpayers themselves rare
ly denounce it or dispute it. They
keep on paying it serenely all their
lives unless they happen to tumble
into the poor house. Their friends
and relativesoften sCold about it, but
they, while they feel its pressure,
90 right on paying out. Even the
poor men keep these payments up
when all others are cut off.
We refer to the tax which men
pay to passion and appetite. The
sums thus expended every year -
say for tobacco and liquors only -
are stupendous. This sort of tax
paying begins early in life, wher
the youngster gets into the habit Of
treating himself to cider, beer, ale
porter, whisky, a cigarette, or CT
gar. After a bit he cant get along
without it." and so he binds himself
to pay taxes to it all his life. HI
groWls about his road tax when HI
grows up, his school tax, and hi
church tax, but his self-indulgenc'
tax hepasseS out without a murmul
even though it may have made
him a poor man. Sometimes he i;
conscious of it, but he has become
a slave to his habits and canno
free himself. The worst burden
poverty has to bear is the tax which
it voluntarily pays to appetite anC
passion. Elk.

The plea of individual drinking
cups in our public schools is well
founded. Recently in Chicago a
drinking cup that had not been
cleaned for several months was
taken from school and the inside
accumulations removed and then
fed to guinea pigs and inside of SO
hours the little animals died from
poisoning. Parents will you stand
back and not buy your child a
drinking cup because it may cost
yOn a dime or two? Isn't the life
and health of your child worth ten
thousand times more than the
value, of a drinking cup? If not,
then you do not deserve the name
of parent!-Ex.

The results are the same every
where. Good roads unquestionably
increase land values, but there are
land owners, it is regrettable to say,
who balk at road improvements on
the score of increasing taxation.
Any sensible man should welcome
any improvement which adds to the
value of his land. And in ponder
ng the road question the: farmer
who fears taxation should sit down
and figure a bit on the indirect tax
he is paying because of the lack, of

Letter From Pittsburg, Pa.

and Mrs Mason (nee Miss Ellen
Walker) invited us to accompany
her and Mr.. Mason through the
great Steel Works at Homested.
This place is not opened to visitors
so you have to have a strong pull
to get in.
Well, after an hours ride along
and by streets that seemed to end
in the clouds; with their vine clad
mansions which seemed to be rest
ing in the clouds while their green
terraced yards and beautiful flower
gardens looked as if they were
swinging in the air 1--WE passed
many mansions, among them the
old home of Harry Thaw.)
At last we crossed the Mononga-

works. After some phoning and
waiting, Mr.. Williams Ga former

Then after waving all rights for
damages, we enter the gates of this
Inferno of the lower regions. We

found great brick kilns lined with
fire clay with tons upon tons of
boiling steel. The pure iron ore is
put into these kilns and treated

eight hours. We borrowed dark
: glasses and peeped in at this boil
ing Inferno which looked like the
waves of the ocean. The word hot
does not express the warmth of
this place and if one of those kilns

eye we would have been a chunk

6 After this metal has been boiled
for eight hours it is poured into

and great sheets of red hot steel

Ingots are run back and forward
through these rollers with streams

throw great shovels of salt on these

them, such explosions l never
