A justice of the peace in a rural
community was presiding in his first
case In which jury had been impan-
elled. The case was of negligible i'm
portance; but had been bitterly con-
tested. There had been. many mo-
tions and much argument. The evil
dence was not particularly interesting.
The day was hot. The arguments
were dull. Then, to the CONSERVATION

If man had to pitch a ton of hay
every day he would think 1t quite q

hay in driblets and small lunches
while doing his other work he would
be tired out and annoyed by the task
until he would begin to look for some
way of avoiding it If he found that
he could avoid 1t by some article pur-
chasable for two or three hundred dol
lars, he would buy the machine in

itself every year.
The president of the Mississippi
Normal College is reported to have
said recently that the average woman
doing her own work in house with

weighs twenty pounds. 1t is lifted
from the well, carried to the kitchen,
poured out there for various uses and

This assumed a well supply at the

water-supply rests much more heavily
on the woman than would the ton of

The water-supply in the house is the
best first step toward improved con-

possess it. Many good systems are
available and at reasonable prices

for the alienation of the conditions
of the slave at first and the serf
later. Present conditions, he said,
were due to false PHILOSOPHERS that
have spread over the world and which
were opposed to Catholic teaching. In
his next lecture he promised to ex-
plain these false teachings and the
remedies which the '2hurca proposes
