 Mature never rhymes Ter children, nor makes two men alike" So says Emerson, and the mothers of young families might do no worse than take this saying as a nursery motto. It is curious how few parents, com paratively realize the wisdom of this, and cons equent:y how many homes are marred and rendered unprcductive by being made forcing" instead of tenn oerate" houses for the young lives they contain.
 The cresds, ideas, thoughts and ca prices of the parents are forced on the child; he is molded or patterned" by rhe parent, according to that parents standards. He is taught to be like this rscn. or that, to take such one for example and object of imitation. 1e either becomes nonent;ty, or. when he finds that his shape is un- fitted for the parental mold. he rebels, and then parent and child become an tasonistic one to the other.

ALsBERe SUCCEEDS DR.. WILEY
Chemistry Chief in Department of
Agriculture.

hington.-President Taft and ST
Secretary of Agriculture James A. Will
son, after months of consideration,
have decided upon the appointment of
DR.. Carl Alsberg, a chemist in the
bureau of drugs and plants as chief of
the bureau of chemistry in the depart
ment of agriculture, a position that
has been vacant since the resignation
last spring of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
the famous defender of the pure food
law.
In Washington the place of chief
chemist, with it's attendant duty of
enforcement of the pure food act, is
regarded in many ways as non-polit-
ical position, and the appointment re-
quires no confirmation by the senate.
DR.. Alsberg has been in the depart
ment of agriculture four years. He
was educated in Columbia university
and Strassburg university in Germany.

Opposition from progressive repub-

THE TOLST| DIARY
MANY IRREGULARITIES OF THE
LATE COUNT EXHIBITED
BY HIS WILL.
PRAYED FOR DEVINE LIGHT WISDOM
No Wreaths, No Discourse at
Funeral Be Used When His
Final Call Came.

Paris.-One of the most striking
sentences in the diary of the Late Count
Leo Tolstoi (Which is just printed in
the Journal des Debats as his hitherto
unpublished statement and was re-
placed by brief formal will dated
July 81, 1910, by which he left all his
literary property to his daughter, Alex
andria), reads
''If the people of the world wish to
read my writings let them dwell on
those passages where l know the di-
vine power has spoken through me,
and let them profit from them through
out their lives"
The diary is printed on the authority
of Count Sergins Tolstoi. 1t was writ
ten by his father under date of March
27, 1895.
Wanted No Praise After Death.
Count Leo Tolstoi asked that all re-
his death. After referring to himself
as the interpreter of divine power, he
said:
Il have had moments when l felt
myself to be the medium for the ex-
preston of the divine will l have
sometimes been so impure and so sub
ject to personal passions that the light
of this truth has been obscured by my
own obscurity; but, despite all, have
served at times as the intermediary
for his truth, and those have been the
happiest moments of my life. May
God will that, passing through me-
these truths have not been sullied, and
may mankind find in them it's pasture
1t is only in that that my writings have
importance"
AS the Poor Are Buried.
The diary begins by saying that il
he does not make another this shall be
his last testament. Tolstoi then re
quests to be buried where he dies-i1
in city, in the least expensive coffir
and in the least expensive cemetery
cas- the poor are buried"
He continues:
Let there be no flowers, no wreaths
no discourse; and, if possible, let the
funeral take place without priests anC
without liturgy, but if that is disagree
able to those who bury me then let mt
be inferred with the liturgy, only al
simply and cheaply as possible"
After asking that no announcement
of his death appear in the newspaper
and that no obituary be printed Tolsto
writes at length concerning the dis
position of his works
Referring to his unpublished writ
ings he prescribed that only those b,
printed which will "be useful to man
kind"
He asks his heirs to abandon to tn,
public the right to publish his forme
works-that is, to renounce the au
thor's royalties. After giving instruc
tons relative to the classification o
his papers by his wife and daughter
he orders his diaries to be destroye,
when what is worth preserving ha
been extracted from them.
Useful to Mankind.
This applies particularly to the joul
mails he kept when a bachelor, when h
says he led the usual miserable life O
young men without principle. Then b
adds:
after all let my diaries remain a
they are. 1t may be seen from theI
that despite the misery of my yout
God did not abandon me and that a
1 grew older l learned, however littl
it was, to understand and to love him.

PRESIDENT TAFT ADVISES PLANS
SIMILAR TO THOSE USED IN
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.
SUCCESTSUNIFORM LAW mall STATES
Made Stirring Address to Convention
of Governors at Washington, D.
c., Saturday, Advocating
Modern Methods.


governors recently urged the adoption
of uniform state legislation which
would make possible in this country
the adoption of a system of rural cred
its and low interest-bearing loans to
farmers, similar to that in vogue in
many European countries.
1--WE are not going to adopt a sys-
tenn overnight" said the president. ut
is going to take considerable time be-
fore the country shall receive the ben
eft of it, but the earlier we begin
the agitation the earlier we shall
achieve the purpose we have in bring
ing the matter to the attention of the
public.
Keep Farm Methods Modern.
There is no subject" continued the
president, "of greater importance to
the people of the United States than
the Improvement of the agricultural
methods, the keeping them up to date
in all agricultural communities, the
securing of profits to the farmer, the
attraction of the young men of the
country to farming as lucrative pro-
fession and the lowering of their prices
to the consumer.
1--WE have great capital in this coun-
try and we have farming property that
is producing farm products of immense
value. 1t would seem clear that with
these two elements it would be pos
sible to introduce third by which the
farmer engaged in producing the crops
should be able, in view of the value OF
what the land on which it is produced,
to obtain money on the faith of the
land and the faith of the product which
will enable him to expand his acreage
and better his methods of cultivation
and production.
Easy Exchange.
"An easy exchange between capital
and farmers with proper security has
been established in European count
ries, where the rate of interest has
been lowered so the farmer is practic
ally on the same basis of advantage in
borrowing of money as the business
man.
| "If this can be done abroad it car
be done here, and if abroad we fine
that government institutions adapted
to form the conduit pipe between cap
italists and farmers are successfully
operating, why should we not adop
them here?"
While conditions in this country anC
Europe were somewhat different, the
president said, by modification of tht
European plan the idea could find {
proper place in the United States.
A committee was named to draft uni
form rural credit legislation to be rec
commended to the states.
Congress to Help.
President Taft's plan will be consid
cred as part of the general currenc.
reform to be attempted by the subcom
mittee of the house banking and cur
rency committee.
