LAW AND PRIVILEGE.

A New York judge. in refusing to
send to jail a young woman social
worker and suffragist who admitted
that she had committed perjury in
his court, said:
IF it had been a man I would
have committed him for perjury and
would have caused him to be locked
up in the city prison Immediately. The
suffragist does not know how lightly
the law sits upon a woman. This thing
was absolutely unjustifiable and COM
mitted with malice aforethought, and
if it had been a man I could not have
passed it over"
If that young woman had been true
to her suffragist convictions she would
have refused to accept this leniency
and demanded that the law should
take it's course in her case. The feel
ing strong in many men that what is
law for man is not law for woman is
one of the greatest barriers to the
cause of woman suffrage.

EGGS GOOD AND BAD.

Every year there is loss OF mlllions
of dollars in bad eggs, the direct re-
suit of haphazard methods of produc-
ton, marketing and shipping which are
now in vogue in many states. Inc
greatest part of this loss sdue mainly
to ignorance or Indifference on the part
of the farmer and producer, and only
a small part is caused by carelessness
on the part of the buyer and shipper
With a view to determining the
causes of the great loss in eggs, the
United States department of agricul-
ture undertook a thorough invest1ga-
ton of the problem, and in it's latest
publication on the subject are present
ed the results of experiments conducted
in Kansas to determine what deteriora-
ton took place in eggs when retained
under typical conditions on the farms,
in the country store. and during trans
portation.
The field chosen for the work was one
where the production and marketing
of eggs was an important factor,
location where the cooperation OF
several farmers could be secured, and
town that was far enough from CEN
trail collecting point so that the effect
of typical transportation conditions
could be observed. The eggs were COL
Iected at a stated time each day from
several farms, and every egg, fertile
or infertile. was supposed to be alb
solutely fresh when entered in the ex-
periments.
The tests emphasized the fact that
infertile eggs keep better than fertile
One-third of the annual loss in eggs
is due to blood rings" A blood ring
is caused by the development and sub
seouent death of the embryo of fer
tile egg subjected to heat. No embyro
can develop in an infertile egg, no
matter how long it may be subjected to
heat Unless cooled at once and kept
cool, fertile egg will spoil in hot
weather almost as quickly as raw milk
To assure a high quality Of product
and prevent in a large measure the
loss now experienced in the value of
the country's egg production, produc-
ers are urged to observe the following
five simple rules:
l. Give the hens clean nests.
2. Gather eggs at least once daily.
8. Keep eggs in cool, dry place.
4. Market eggs at least twice a
week.

No Old Maids in Siam.

Kings of Siam apparently do not be-
lieve in the wisdom of allowing single
women to drift unattached about the
country. In certain districts after girl
has reached an age where her securing
for herself husband is considered
doubtful she becomes daughter of
the king" That is, the king takes
upon himself the task of settling her
suitably in life.
His process is quite simple and to
the point. He proceeds to the Siamese
penitentiary and looks over the vari-
Gus prisoners. There is a law in Siam
that any prisoner can obtain his release
by marrying one of this class of girls,
and, naturally enough, any prisoner
whom the king picks out is not likely
to be backward about consenting to
the ceremony. Nor does it make any
difference if he is married, for the men
of that country are not restricted to
one wife.
AS far as can be learned there is no
allowance made for the inclination of
the girl in question. She has failed in
her mission in life as far as she her.

by the decision of the king.-San Fran

though in her mind she knows that
she will die, she cannot seem to be-

thing will really come to her.
Most of us are not so frank. And
yet don't we all have this same feeling
in greater or less degree? We know
in our minds that of course we must
die some time, but do we actually
sense it? don't believe we do.
One day last summer / spent an
hour or so wandering through very
old New England cemetery-or to use
the better and Drawer term for it
burying round.
Perhaps you may think that is a
very queer way to spend a golden hour
in summer, but if you ever happen to
be near a burying ground over which
time has thrown the softening veil of
romance, try it some day. l am sure
that in the half obliterated Nehemiahs
and Samanthas and Pollys and
ThomaSes, in the moss covered dates
ana -AoCdtS@ ana the quaint 1nScTlp-
tons. you will find many half told
tale to awaken your Imagination.
But to return to the main theme.
AS we wandered through the quaint
old burying ground, we came upon a
stone marked "1S12." The man whose
name was upon it and died at the
age of 80 after a good long life. And
he had been dead one hundred years!
OF course the same thought came into
the minds of both of US. Just think,
he has been dead and buried over a
hundreds years! Some day we, too,
will have been dead a hundred years
and someone else will stand by our
graves and read our names on the
tombstones."
An inevitable and tremendous
thought And yet it made so little
three minutes we were talking lightly
of the most frivolous topics.
You see we didn't believe it, at least
not with the real belief that comes
from the heart rather than the mind.
'As a matter of fact says Steven
son in Aes Trip1ex, although few
things are spoken of with more fear
full whispering than this prospect of
death, few have less influence on con-
duct under healthy circumstances. -
And he goes on to say that while we
wonder how people who live IN cities
built on the sides of fiery, volcanic
mountains can eat and drink and
make merry, and think so little about
tkeir mortal condition, we are all very
much like them For though we live
continually in the presence and pos
sibility of death, yet as matter of
fact, We think surprisingly little
about it.
Yes, when you come to think of it,
the unbelievableness of death to the
average person, in view of our daily
acquaintance with that great fact, is
one of the queer quirks of the human
brain. Or may it not be something
bigger and better-a proof of our in
stinctive realization of OUR own i'm
mortality?

DTTY OR PRIVILEGE.

How to induce people to vote is a
question that is being propounded
seriously from time to time. Some
popularity has attached to the sugges-
ton that people who can vote and
will not vote should be made to vote.
This of course would require the en-
actrnent of more laws, and already
there are too many.
The reform candidate for mayor of
Los Angeles was defeated the other
day by some 5000 votes. Between
10000 and 10000 men and women
qualified to vote failed to go to the
polls. 1t is not surprising that sup

any. better Dissemination to go to
the polls is becoming more and more
general; questions of the utmost i'm
portance are being decided by minor
tiles.
Probably frequent failures of a large
number of citizens to exercise the right
of suffrage is due to the fact that
they regard voting as a privilege rath-
err than duty.
When people feel an interest in the
question at issue they vote; when they
do not, they stay at home. Elections
are becoming so frequent that it might
become a real hardship to many to
force them to go to the polls on mat
tiers which they care nothing about

FROM OTHER PENS
BRYAN'S PEACE PLAN

secretary Bryan's plan of universal
paciflcation has elected favorable re-
sponses from eight nations, indorsing
the general principle and inviting pro-
posals in detail. AS outlined by Mr..
Bryan the plan would involve the
creation of international commissions
OF inquiry empowered to conduct in
VestigatiOnS on their own initiative
and Independent of the action of the
contracting parties. The institution of
a investigation would have the effect
of a stay of proceedings pending the
report of a commission; and this
would go further than the treaty re-
Gently negotiated with Great Britain
and practically rejected by the sem
ate. The treaty in question put re-
lance in the moral effect of the pen
dency of an inquiry; and this molli-
Tying influence was expected to pre-
vent hostilities without the parties be-
ing bound by definite agreement.
In the Bryan plan it is expressly
provided that the parties reserve their
right of independent action, even af-
ter the submission of a report with re-
gard to the subject in controversy; but
the same independence was implied
by the terms of the Knox-Bryce treaty
and its Franco-American duplicate.
And the latter did not assume to make
the reports of commission of inquiry
binding on the parties except in ore
respect-namely, on the question as
to whether or not the controversy in
question was justiciable, and there
fore, arbitrable. Even then the sub
mission of the same to the interna-
tional court of justice at The Hague
OF some other tribunal to be selected
by the parties was dependent upon 4he
