Women and Domeatic Duties

We do not fail to appreciate the i'm.
portance of women's domestic duties,
but we see that in the modern condi.
lions of life which drive 100000
women into the struggle for living
outside the home 1t is absolutely nee
essary to go beyond the bounds of do
nestle duty. We regret, therefore,
most deeply that our efforts to at
modern conditions of life have by this
imperial criticism been brought into
discredit among the unthinking and
unreasonable. - Reply Of German
women's League to Emperor William.

Potatoes.


Carlyle once. told 2 man who was
financially interested in gold mining
that all the gold ever produced by
California was not worth one good
mealy potato. And yet the potato in
Scotland has a history Of less than
200 years When Macdonald of Clan
ranald in 1743 bought seed potatoes
for his tenants in South Uis. they OBJ
jected to planting them because the
potato is not mentioned IN the Bible!
Somewhat later George Bachop. one
of the Ochtertyre tenants. when told
by his wife that she had potatoes for
supper, contemptuously replied: Tat
ties! tatties! never suppit on them
a. my days, and Wilma the NIGHT. Gle
them to the herd, and get me sowens."
