How About tho trids?

When Il man becomes engaged or is
married the first thing we think about
Is whether he can support wife.
Rarely do we wonder whether the
bride has ability to spend the mans
income wisely. Yet Investigations arc
beginning to show that more families
are poo: because the wife is unframed
to housekeeping and wasteful of the
income than because the husband
does not earn enough. or forty di :
vorce cases recently Investigated,
where the wives applied for divorce
o.: account of the husbands dcsertIon,
It was found that in twenty two cases
the husbands left their 1lrcsides be-
cause the wives made ii mess of homes
and incomes. Eighteen Of these wives
claimed that they had not been prop
crly supported when, as T. matter OF
fact, the probation officers OF the court
found that their incomes were amply
sufficient. More ana more the ul-
pleasant fact of wnman's incompetence
as wise spender Of the home income
is coming to the surface. particularly
through the newly established Courts
Of Domestic Relations. 1t is high time
that. coupled with our wonder about
the bridegroon's income. we We're be.
ginning to ask OF the young bride
what she knowa about the wise spend
ing Of that income. For that is going
to be the question OF the future and
we are headed straight for il.

FREE TOLL POLICY
Defended BY President Taft-Says It
Would Mean Trade Expansion.

frequently classed as "Pro-British-

toll policy OF the United States for
American ships passing through the
Panama Canal The President bases
his argument on the ground that the
present treaties do not bind the
United States To charge equal tolls for
American and foreign vessels.

association at its annual banquet in
Baltimore last Saturday night. what

Homo Training.

In all public movements Of the day,
calculated for the betternent of So
ciety, there is too much of tendency
to abolish the home circle for the
civic center. Man may be a social be-
ing, but first OF all he is domestic
one, and anything that tends to erad-
icate the domestic instincts from the
human heart is bound to react in
juriously upon society. Social co:ldi-
tions should. reflect those ti,at prevail
in the home, and ONLY by making the
horne circle the center of activity for
good, can We hope to improve condi-
tions socially? AS no stream can rise
higher than its source. SO no govern
meat can be better than the people
who compose 1t, and no people can
be capable Of safe an! sane govern
ment, with a wholesome respect for
law and constituted authority unless
it is inculcated in Their home training.
Outside attractions like public play
grounds, civic centers. cheap theatera
and dance halls. should never be al
lowed to divert the mind Of the child
from the domestic ccnter. The foun-
tain Of all civic virtues.

Rule and only four, or five felt bound
to support the women.
Redmond never wavercd and now
it looks probable that his policy will
be vindicated by the abandonment by
the ministry Of their impossible task.
1t was also gratifying proof of the
intense enthusiasm Of the liberals
generally for Home Rule that many
of them were ready TO oppose women
suffrage because they agreed with
Redmond it endangered the Irish
cause.
So the most dangerous crisis that
has vet confronted Home Rule seems
to be passing away, largely through
the determination and sound tudg-
ment of Redmond's party.

Real Origin Of the So Called Reforma-

work dealing with "Lollardy and the
Reformation" At the time of his
death he was acknowledge 10 be Eng
lands foremost historian. A pithy ac-
count of the origin of that "Reforma-
ton, WAS contained in- a recent letter
of hisrs to the Guardian, ~ prominent
Anglican weekly organ, from which the
following is a salient extract:
THAT which we call the Reformation
in England was the result Of Henry
Wits quarrel with the Church Of
Rome on the subject of the divorce.
Talk of the intolerable tyranny of
Rome! Who felt it, I wonder? Who
complained of any such oppression? :?
Not Henry himself till he found him
self disappointed in the expectation
which he had ardently cherished for d
While that he could manage by hook
or crook to obtain from the See Of
Rome something like an ecclesiastical
lcense to live biganny. The See of
Rome refused him. and when Henry
at last took the matter i:lto his own
hands by marrying Anne Boleyn, pro-
nounced quite a righteous sentence
that his former marriage was valid.
Then Horny took the step which i'll
munire' for doing what they could not
help doing, fined 'hem heavily, and
then compelled them (most unwilling
ly) first to acknowledge his suprem-
acy and afterwards to surrender the
power of making laws for themselves

clergy declare Con pain Of treason)
that the Pope was only foreign Bisl1-

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
WITH KEROSENE LAMPS.

The two great and very real
dangers in connection with
lamps are dirt and carelessness.
and to these two causes are at
tributed most lamp accidents.
Lamps with metal reservoirs are
safer than those of glass or CHI
na. as the former. If upset, can
be picked up and replaced be
fore the oil can escape. OF course
the oil used must be Of good
quality.
There is no saving. but some
waste and some danger in poor
oil. Bad Oil clogs the wick and
the burner. besides giving of an
unpleasant and very dirty vapor.
Never turn down a lamp. 1t is
meant to burn with the fame at
full height. and when allowed to
smolder in this way 1t will either
smoke or smell and most GER
tainly heat rapidly and become a
distinct source Of danger.
An alcohol lamp should always
be placed in a shallow dish, as
it is liable to run out on table or
dresser and ignite. Never keep
the alcohol bottle near the light
ed lamp. Do not pour fresh alco-
hOl into the tank II there Is burn
ing char on It for the entire con-
tents may burst into flames.

PRESERVING HINTS.

How to Make Delicious Pickle That
Can Be Recommended.
An easy way of canning cherries and
Ia way which preserves much Of the
beauty Of the cherries is to bottle
them after. they have been washed.
dried and pitted and to put two ounces
of sugar in each bottle. Then cork
them tightly and put the bottles in
cold water. Bring the water to the
boiling point and boil gently until the
cherries are covered with juice. They
are then done. Cool them in the wa
ter, push the corks in more tightly
and store them away.
Raspberry vinegar makes a refresh
ing and easily prepared beverage. and
the vinegar is not troublesome to
make. Cover four quarts of red rasp-
berries with vinegar. Twenty-four
hours later scald and strain the mix
ture. Measure the juice and add a
pound Of graduated sugar to each pint
of juice. Boil twenty minutes and bot
tie. This %concoction will keep for
years. When it is to be used add a
tablespoonful to a glassful Of cold wa
ter.
To make spiced currants wash. dry
and stem the currants. Measure them
and for four pounds allow a pint Of
vinegar and two pounds Of brown sug-
ar. Add half a cupful Of whole spices
tied in a thin muslin bag. Cinnamon.
cassia buds, cloves and allspice should
be included. Boil the spices. sugar
and vinegar for ten minutes. skim and
add the fruit Boil until the currants
are tender; then put them in jars and
boil down the strip, pour it owe the
jars and seal. ~.
Spiced cherries are a less usual but
90 less delicious pickle. To make them
boil six pounds Of graduated sugar
with eight pounds Of stoned cherries
for twenty minutes. Remove the fruit
and put it in scalded jars. Add two
tablespoonful Of ground cinnamon
tied in a piece Of cheesecloth. a table
spoonful Of whole mace, a tablespoon
ful Of whole, cloves. a pint Of vinegar
and boil the strip down until it is
thick. Then pour it over the fruit and
