Perhaps one reason why American
born girls prefer to work in factories at
starvation wages rather than work IN
kitchens and be comfortable is that while
in school they studied the same declara-
ton of independence as their brothers
did. Whether that old document tells the
truth or not, it has made of our boys and
girls something that does not willingly
have inferiority rubbed into them

and even edible beast like our own
muskrat. but a creature described as
"a fearful plague, and so powerful is
its odor that at one time II was
thought It would even penetrate
glass"
This belief was due to the fact that
securely bottled wine, over the bottles
of which this rat had passed and in
passing perfumed them. was found,
on opening to be utterly worthless and
full Of musk. According to Bonfort's
Wine and Spirit Circular, investiga-
lions and experiments, however,
showed that instead of penetrating
the glass, 1t finds access to the wine
through the cork.
The water of Ceylon is none of the
best. Near the coast lines it is brack-
ish, owing to the sea and the many
salt marshes. In the low country
where rivers and streams are few and
far apart, the supply is from artificial
tanks, and their tributary streams
and outlets are the resort Of the deer
and cattle and elephants that come to
battle and wallow in them, thereby
keeping the water in muddy state
perpetually.

tice; water for drinking purposes Is
always put into an unglazed chatty.

This is rubbed on the inside of the
chatty until about half the seed Is
