LAND SPECULATION WANING.

The days of wild speculation in irrigated lands is rapidly pass ing. according to experts of the United StateS reclamation Ser- vice. Much ot the irrigated lands of the West have been sold at fabulous prices because of the sensational returns some have made on irrigated lands. By showing the maximum yield of fruit at maximum prices, land dealers were able to get figures for land heretofore had never been heard of. This led to the disappointment of lots of peO- pie and today prices are not what they were, but are on more equitable basis. The great show

IMPROVE RURAL ScHoo' s.

Some weeks ago Secretary Houston, of the department of agriculture, pointed out the un-
 satisfactory conditions of rural
 schools in most parts of the country. Since that time officials of the United States Bureau of Education have received a num- Der of letters pointing out the need of better organized and bet ter equipped schools for the teaching of children in rural communities, and giving de- scriptions of the schoolhouses in some communities which were unsuited for educational purpos- es, but which were the best that the people could provide. Some of these descriptions are most regretable and it is high time that something definite was done

VOLCANOES AFFECTING GIL

All interesting llclu OI SpcCuld- tion has been opened up by the Geographic Magazine, which takes up the question of volcan- ic disturbances to world-climate in general.
 Old sailors on the Atlantic say the weather has been 'different" ever since the Mount Pelee dis aster, and now comes much scientific testimony to show that the remarkable storms of the last few months, culminatin ill the rains which have inundated the Ohio valley and which threaten ed the entire Mississippi water way, from Cairo to the gulf, are the results of the eruption of katmai volcano in Alaska June 6, 1912.
 The katmai eruption was one of the most violent ever record ed. Owing to the remoteness of the volcano from civilization no lives were lost but the territory in the vicinity of the volcano was covered deep with. ashes while the atmosphere disturbance was not ed thousands uf miles away. Thick haze was noted in various parts of the world, following the eruption of the volcano. Heavy rains fell and continued to fall during the summer. Professor C. G Abbott, of the Smithsonian Institution, who was in Algicrs, making measurement of the amount of heat coming to the earth from the sun. first noticed the spreading of this haze on June l9. just thirteen days af- tc rthr eruption in Alaska. Rains followed. and, to the surprise. of the scientists, the hay weather, with succeeding torrential down. pnlirS. continued until Septcm- brr. and forced an abandonment of the work. Prof. Abbott found that the conditions had been the same at Mount Wilson, and pre- sunably were worldwide. It is shown by this scientist that the haze precipitated from katmai was distributed over the higher atmosphere remaining three months in suspension. The 'li- rect effect of this would be a loss of heat owing to the reflec- tiun and loss of the suns rays in the Katmai "dust belt.' Fortun- atrly Professor Ahbnlll was equipped with the sort of appar- ulus necessary for measurement and one instrument was rapabl" of measuring a milIionIh part of a degree of heat. He made rX- hauStiNr observations and gives as his opinion that the volcanic haze very appr"riably influenced the march of temperature in the United States. He believes that il will be found eventually that temperatures are influenced scv- cral degrees by great periods of h1zinrss. such as those produced by the volcanic cruptinnS of 1883. 1888 and 1912. not In speak of the eruption of Mount P"lr" in 1902. whose distribution of haze he regards as rather local.
 A further question for science to determine is the length of time this haze remains suspended in the upper atmosphere. work ing such climatic changes. The whole subject is one of vital i'm terest. and it seems remarkable that more general attention has
 't been devoted to it heretofore. --EX.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, l9I;
CULTIVATE GOOD MANNERS.

A lawyer who was harrrSsed with anxious problems made d rule in his family that each one should come to the. table with a pleasant greeting and contribute his share of cheerful talk. For his own part he made the hours at meals delightful by his con- Versation and powers of charm. Children realized that grievan- ces, ill-temper, rudtness, dis courtesy or contradictions were offences to be punished gently, but firmly. for the simpl" reason that the feelings and rights of others must be respected and the great law of unSrlhShnrs. and making others happy must be un- derstOOd. Self-contrul was thus taught by the examples of the parents. who tried tn preserve pa tiencr and calnness and not to reprovc irriLably.
 Home is the great moral school where real character is mostly formed. All the minor mnralities of life may be made easy to a child. Habits of being courteous, prompt, considrratr. neat. should be taught early in childhood. Good habits may be incorporat- cd with the character and will be spontaneous and proceed from almost unconscious sources. It must be remembered however, that "bumdlcS of habifS' are not in themselves character. The small acts of courtesy pr"cticed at home will become. in a meas ure. automatic, but there must be in character the cultivation of true kindness, which prompts on" to do he pleasant or he unsrl- fish thing naturally and simply, because it would be an unlappi- ness to du a hisagreeahlr thing.
 The liun>hip of the family must exist in all wnrthinrSs be- fore the eyes of children, if there is to be high development of character. because children judge only by what they observe: what they see is the pattern for their imitation. So mach may be done by parents in the persistent. pa ,1 ,,f Inf ,,F temper. rherrfulnesS and cnur- tesy. The Father in a household may show chiNalrir lrratmcn of the moi her in SD D"autiful a way that the children will naturally initiate his unfailing cunSidnra- ton and tenderness toward Der.
 Those who are scrupulously att tentive to every conventional rule among strangers and who are thOuhlful of Inc comfort and convenience of the households where they may be visiting some times ignore courtesy when at home. They have the privilege to be late al meals. They never apologize for tardineSs; they do not hesitate to find fault with the food In fact, some persons as sumc hat they have certain right not to consult the comfort cf others at home.
 It is we'll tu make a rule to breakfast with a cheerful greet ong. An amiable "GoOd morn ing" is a hopeful beginning for the day. It is worth while never to talk about food at all unless to say something pleasant about ifEy

APPLICANTS MUST HOP

Chicago, Nov. 21-Strength to, lift a twenty y-fve pound dumben and ability to play hopscotch are essentials for those who seek to carry scrub pai1s and push mops as city mattresses. About five hundred women are taking the civil service examination, and those who pass will be assigned to the City Hall, the public schools and library and all other municipal build ings and hospitals.
 Two hundred and fifty women were in the first class that were put through gymnaStic exercises to determine their physical fitness. The applicants, many of them gray haired, were in charge of Dr. B. T. Olsen, physical examiner. Some demonstrated mascu- line strength in toying with the dumb bell. Some of the older ones failed in hopscotch.
 When it came the turn of one appli- cant advanced in years she looked pathetica11y at her companions.
 Do it like this,'' pr. Olsen urged, as he gave a demonstration.
 She made two short hops and gave 1t up.
