HOW MEN ARE BORN.

great many kinds of men are born into

where their coming is welcomed They always
make good men
Some are born hypocrtes. That happens when
one or both parents have been playing a part all
their lives and have never been what they
seemed to be-
Some are born rogues and dissemblers They
are people whose births were accidents.
Some are born natural sneaks and liars. They
cannot help it, either the father or mother. or
both of them, all through life poses as something
while all the time knowing it was lie.
Some are born natural scrubs These generally
take after both parents
Some are born with hate for all the world
and desire TO get even for some unexplained
wrong
They are but the product of prenatal hates
their coming was unwelcome their hands have
been against the world from the beginning.
Some are born high and true because they
were prayed for, and the prayer was that they
would be high and true and noble from before
the germs of their lives had any life
Some are born in rebellion against God and
the world and their thoughts from the first have
been dark thoughts They came by them natl1r
ally Their mothers before they were born
knew that their fathers were not fit TO ever be
fathers God pity them!
Some are born to be self forgetful and patient
under worry. and their whole lives are lives of
self-abnegation These are children of mothers
who repressed their real natures and gave nm

to be duty

not essential. In any event the supply of

good wood is becoming scarcer all the time 1t is
not likely that hardwood trade will be af-

even if it is, it is only another instance of loss
sustained by the few for the benefit of the
many. Nearly every step in the march of progress
is taken at someone's expense.

GROWING RICE IN MEXICO.

Rice in considerable quantities is
raised in Mexico, but the method
of cultivation is most primitive. No
attempt is made ut irrigation. Land
is cleared by telling the timber and
burning over the field. The soil is
not plowed. Planting is done from
June to August. A hole is made in
the soil with a stake, and the seed
dropped in and covered. 1t is plant
ed in rows about foot apart and at
about the same distance apart in
rows. No cultivation is given to the
growing crop beyond an attempt to
keep down the weeds with a ma
chete or a hoe.

cAMEMBERT CHEESE.

Camambert is the name of a com.
mune, a few houses about Canaan
bert church, in the prefecture vi
moutier and the department of
Orne. The cheese got its name from
the fact that it originated near
there, but there isn't a cheese fac
tory nearer than three miles away
now, and not enough people live in
Camembert to run one of any size.
Caen, the principal Camembert mar
ket, is in Calvados. The cheese is
carried to the shore and carried
across the mouth of the Seine to
Havre in boats. 1t is made, how
ever, on the northeastern side of the
Seine, and from there comes to
Havre direct. The cheese is shipped
unripe, even to home markets near
at hand in French cities. 1t is sell
dom over four weeks old when it
leaves the factory and is often only

Was Once interesting and Instructive
Diversion for Youngsters Of
Nursery.

Scrapbook collecting is form Of
nursery diversion that has fewer adj
herents than it once had. Time was
when the youngsters devoted much
time and thought to gathering mate
rial with which to fill the books, and
who would succeed in having the
best collection was matter of heat
ed competition. 1t seems a pity that
this form Of collecting should have
dropped into disfavor, for if rightly
directed it may be the means of de-
veloping traits in the child that
would otherwise lie dormant.
In the selection of clippings for
a child's scrapbook large proper
ton of space should be allotted to
verse.
The attention Of the child will
thus be directed to the many beauti-
full ideas that are clothed in musical
measure.
Numbers of grown folks can say
that many a noble sentiment has be-
come fixed in their thoughts which
would perhaps have escaped them
had it not been presented in the
beautiful garb Of poetry and had not
the making of scrapbooks been enc
Of the delights of their childhood.
Anecdotes and information about
birds, domestic pets and other ami
mails will help to teach the little folks
interest in any kindness to the little
furred and feathered people.

CONSCIENCE ABOVE FAMILY.

ga mans wife and children have
a claim on him for bread. A mans
parents have a claim on him for
obedience while he is child. A
mans uncles, aunts and cousins have
no claim on him at all, except for
help in necessity, which he can grant
and they require. None-wife, chill
dren, parents, relatives-none has a
claim to bar his judgment and his
actions. Sound the conscience and
sink the family! With clear con-
science, it is best to leave the family
to its own debates. No man ever did
brave work who held counsel with
his family. The family view of a
mans fit conduct is the weak point
of the country. It's no other view
than, better thy condition for our

The Fat Rooster.

Very few people credit chickens
with having much sense; but at least
one young rooster proved, without
doubt, that he was wiser than he
looked. This cockerel has a habit of
rufiing up his feathers during feeding
time, and as he was about twice as
fat as the rest Of the fowls, his owner
decided TO watch him and to try to
find out the cause of his queer be-
havior. One day. as the fowls saun-
tered or after being fed, the rooster
carried his portly self to a secluded
place by the wood pile, and shook
himself vigorously; whereupon down
fell more than half a pint of grain
which his ruffied feathers had caught
at feeding time. This he proceeded
70 eat at his leisure. AS he continued
20 rune his feathers and to saunter
on to the wood pile after meals, and
gained In, size daily, his owner had
every reason to believe that the roos.
ter had more than his share Of com.
mon chicken sense.

NOT ALL BACTERIA ARE BAD
Some orpanIsms Are the Most Potent
and Faithful ALLIES Of the
Human Race.

There are good as well as bad bac-
terra While bacteria bear, in the
popular estimation, an evil reputa-
ton by reason Of the part they play
in so many fatal diseases, not all the
bacteria in the world are working
against man and his interests. In
deed, some of them are his potent
and faithful allies.
The minute organisms, for in
stance, that manufacture nitric acid
as a food plant are of most benef-
cent kind. One set of bacteria busy
themselves in converting ammonia
found in the soil into nitrous acid.
There their work ends and, SO far
as the plants are concerned, it has
been ineffective, since plants cannot
feed upon nitrous acid.
At this point, however, another set
of bacteria come forward and from
the nitrous acid produce nitric acid,
from which plants are readily able
to derive nourishment. Still other
bacteria, living in the roots of GER
tain plants, enable these plants to
assimilate nitrogen derived from the
air, and thus, instead of exhausting
the soil in which they grow, actually
enrich 1t.

ABOUT GOING OUT EVENINGS
Natural That Woman Should Want to
Get Away From Scene Of
Constant Toll.

In the course of q days work a
man has many interesting distrac-
tons, yet he is prone to take the at
titude in his home that he bears all
the burdens and his wife none at all.
The man returns home, processes
that he is sworn to the bone," and
somehow he "gets away with it." 1t
is refreshing to him to return to his
comfortable home, made comfortable
by his wife, and he rather hates to
go to the theater or some other place
of amusement. He really wonders
why women are forever wanting to
be on the go.
The home, however, is really the
woman's business Office, where every
thing spells work. What means
quiet comfort to the husbands means
infinite toll to the wife. 1t is but
natural that she should want to get
away from the scene of her constant
toll in the evening when the days
routine has been done.
1t would be good thing for the
husbands if they were put to house
work for at least one or two weeks
in their married life. They would
then have a broader perspective
