Love is an illusion. Some seem to
take it as a bitter thing that after the

down to the humdrum of everyday
ness. But, in the first place, they
never quite become entirely disillu-
stoned. The stain of the rainbow lin
gers in the average marriage, and in
the second place, even If this illusion
passes, another comes, for there are
the children, and lover and lass who

Illusions are Natures device for get
ting things done. That is why she
fills young men so full of illusions as
to their own power. Heaven help US
if young people knew precisely what
they could dol They would do moth
ing at all.
And if girls knew just what mar.
riage was going to be. and all their
future down to the grave. they would
never marry. Illusions are Natures
bait.

is not cheating us, and sneering at us
the while. She is leading us on in

Quarantining Against
the HookWorm

y new and rather interesting
phase of the hookworm problem
has come to the front in San
Francisco. After the South, Cali
fornia, too, was found badly afflicted
with the pernicious parasite. 1t
was known to exist in the mines of
that state, but recently has been
found prevalent among Porto Rican
and oriental labors who are mostly
engaged in agricultural pursuit.
Probably one-third to, perhaps,
one-half of the immigrants coming
from the Orient are infected with
hookworm; an investigation during
which 2,255 were examined reveal
ed that l.077 barbored the intest-
inal parasite. In San Francisco it
has recently been discovered that a
number of laborers, chiefly from
the West Indies, engaged in mar
ket-gardening on tract of land
within the city limits, are afflicted
with hookworm and, on account of
the danger of transmitting the
parasite by unlocked vegetables,
the laborers have been quarantined
and placed under treatment, and
the vegetables from these gardens
will not be allowed to be sold in
the market until all evidence and
danger of hookworm infection are
eliminated. The usual rout of the in
lection is through the skin of the
feet, but it is believed that uncooked
vegetables carrying the hookworm
eggs or larvae might also be
source of infection. This phase of
the question and the method of
solving it are rather novel, says
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association. Doubtless similar
conditions obtain elsewhere, and
the San Francisco plan will afford
precedent in meeting them.

gain is divided about equally in the real

THE HILLS AND FIELDS OF MAINE

I've looked on the dear old hills of Maine,
I've drank from the cooling spring.
I've walked in her fields of waving grain,
Where the merry warblers sing.
I've stood by the brook in the meadow lot
Where the wood road curves and winds
Meath the shady trees, lovely spot
Down there by the fragrant pines.
All nature decked in her robes of green,
While the sun sends its rays of gold,
No one could paint such lovely scene
AS the one our eyes behold.
The Pine Tree State has charm for me
Like no other spot on earth.
No other place which have seen
Like the State which gave me birth.
Fair Northport and the Camden hills
In beauty meet our sight,
Old Castine head is showing still,
Down the bay in changing light.
Make my bed at last by the dear old hills,
Near the fields of golden grain,
Let me rest where the pines are waving still
In my homeland State of Maine.

with a fiat in each of the three stories, and
many of them are attractive in design with
their porches and balconies. They have all

As To Meat Prices.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
The latest census bulletin deals With the
amount of live stock on farms in 1910.
A study of the figures and comparison
of them with those of 1900 show the
greatest reason why all kinds OF meats
are so high. The simple reason that po-
tatoes were so high during the past
months is that the crop last year was
35, O0O, 900 bushels less than the average
crop for the previous years, and there
were 5000, 000 more people to eat them
So there was no secret about the high
price of potatoes; neither should there
be about the high cost of meat. The
census of 1910 reports over 5000, GOO less
sheen and lambs in the country than
there were in 1900 But the 1900 census
was taken June lst, while that In 1910
was taken as of April 18th, and as a
large number of lambs are born in the
six weeks between April 18th and June
LIST. if the enumeration in 1910 had
been made on June LIST there would have
been only about $500, 900 less than in
the previous census.
The number of cattle reported by the
census in 1910 We're 1888, 1S4 less than
the number reported in 1900 But if the
enumeration had been made as of June
l, 1910, as it was in 1900 there would
probably not be more than 10000 less
in 1910 then in 1900. But of course
about Is, 0C0 0C0, or IA of the total
number in the country would have been
less than one year old.
When we come to consider all these
million less cattle and sheep in the coun
try; and that there are 90 600, 900 more
people in the country to eat meat than
there were in 1900. it is not surprising
that such high prices prevail, So great
has become the home consumption of
our beef products that comparatively
small amount is now left for export. In
1901 we exported over 351, 000 600 pounds
Of fresh beef, while during the year
1911 we exported but %, 1872, 900 pounds;
or but little over quarter of pound
for each inhabitant. And we only ex-
ported about one-third as many cattle in
the latter year as we did in the former
one. The trade journals show that the
retail price of meats in England is
from 20 to 70 per cent higher than
in this county; showing that the tariff
is not great factor in fixing the
price. In fact, when Is per cent of
the duty was taken off of meats in
1909 it had no effect on the price at all.
Two years ago several tons of fresh beef
were imported into N. Y. from South
America, and it was found it could not
be sold for more than one cent pound
less than our native beef. And besides,
that was grass fed beef, and was not
near as good quality as our corn fed
American beef
We exported but 1-16 as much fresh
beef last year as we did 10 years before,
which shows that we are fast approach
ing the time when we shall consume all
we produce. And as that time approaches
we must expect the price to advance. So
| do not believe that the price of fresh
meat would fall bit if the entire duty
of l 1-2 cents a pound were taken off, no
more than the prices of hides and tea and
coffee and other articles fell when the
duties were removed. In fact the prices
of every one Of those articles advanced,
showing that the duty had no effect on
the price. C. E. SMITH.
