WITHOUT AN ANSWER.
An Old Proposition Treated From 1
Scientific Standpoint.

Scientific Standpoint.
"To settle m argument kindly an
swer the following question: II an IT.
resistible force were to come in con.
tact with an immovable body, what
would be the RESULT"
The answer cannot be thought in the
present limitation of the human mind
We cannot even commence to think OF
any infinity whatever.
An irresistible force is an infinite
force and cannot be thought of in any
property It may have by any phase OF
mind functioning in any brain.
An immovable body is infinitely still
or its rest is absolute, and mind in
brain cannot think OF the absolute.
For body to be ut absolute rest II
must be the only one In existence, for
II there are two in space attractions
will cause both to move.
But If one body only existed then
finite mind cannot know whether 1t is
immovable. because we cannot know
whether force Is outside. Only crea-
tive mind can know this With only
one body in infinite space. then finite
mind could not discover whether ii is
at rest or in motion, having no other
object with which to compare 1t. The
two words rest and motion would be-
come meaningless. And humans can
not at present think of Infinite space
nor two points In space. Impossible
unless matter occupies these two
points. Then the word space could
not apply to these points since they
are occupied.-New York American.

Browning and Votes For Women

Robert Browning was mt one period
Of his life an enthusiastic advocate of
votes for women. HE approved OF
everything that had been done for the
higher instruction Of women" writes
his biographer Mrs. Sutherland Orr,
land would, not very long before his
death, have supported their admission
to the franchise. But he was so much
dlspleased by the more recent action Of
some of the lady advocates of women's
rights that during the last year of his
life, after various notifications of opin'
ion. he frankly pledged himself to the
opposite view" At one time, II APP
pears, Browning contemplated writing
play in support of the movement.
Had this design been carried into cf-
feet Miss Elizabeth Robins would have
been anticipated by about twenty years.

Using Hedges Profitable.

The hedge Is one OF the most Vhlu-
able landscape assets that we have.
and at the same time one of the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago, 1t fell rapidly into disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
ornamental hedge Is beginning to
come back to its proper field now, and
we trust that 1t will be more generally
used, in its proper place.
The formal hedge, particularly the
evergreen hedge, has not place on the
small lot. 1t is as much out of place
as six two-story Ionic pillars in front
of portable bungalow. And that
means that hedges of any kind are In
bad taste on most small lots.
If the house Itself is not close to the
sidewalk, or 1t is desirable to use a
hedge on a small lot because of un-
usual conditions, use low, informal
hedge such as barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field OF the hedge Ia as
a beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds. or as screen to furnish pri.
vacy and shut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
hedge cannot be surpassed, because It
is equally effective In winter and sum.
mer, its life is from fifteen to twenty
years, and 1t forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock for the tree
hedges. The effect is somber and the
view from the house will be bright
ened by planting few Colorado blue
spruce and line Of red barked flow
ering dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effects
can be secured by putting in Califor-
MIA privet, barberry or Japanese
ounce, and they are fully as satisfac.
tory In their own way.
For screens nothing can surpass
hemlock or some Of our beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs, such as the hardy
lilacs and syringas.
In moist, cool regions, such as pre-
vail along the coast line of New Eng
land, the lockwood plant is almost uni
versally used, and 1t makes a hedge
as smooth and solid looking as bank
of turf
Planting directions vary with the
season, the soil and the plants used;
hence we cannot cover them all in this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful
ly at any time Of the year that the
ground can be worked, but spring and
fall are the best times. Be sure to
fertilize we'll and plant thickly enough.
About SIS worth Of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.

The Town Cow.

II Is surprising fact to many to
learn that there are a very consider
able number Of cows kept within
the limits of every great city. Cows
are familiar sight on the streets of
many small towns, but In our vast
congested urban centers the sight of
one is very unusual. OF course the
number of cows here is much small
er In proprtion to the population, and
1t is very unfortunate in many ways
that there are not more COWS dwelling
In our midst, SO to speak.
The city cow, when owned and man.
aged by a professional milkman, has
proved to be considerable menace
to health in the past, entirely due to
the way in which such animals have
been handled. We do not wish to be
understood as advocating the opera
ton of commercial dairy herds under
urban conditions, but we do believe
firmly that 1t would be a great agent
for the better health of city children
IL there were more city cows owned
by their parents.
Census figures show that the infant
mortality rate in large cities is much
higher than among children of the
same class, age, and mode OF life In
smaller towns or In the country.
While number of factors combine
to bring about the early passing away
Of comparatively large proportion of
the little children who are unfortunate
enough to be born in a large city, the
scientists who give their time and
thought to these serious problems are
almost unanimously agreed that the
greatest single factor behind these
atrociously high infant death rates is
that of impure milk.
Impure milk has, and still does, reap
terrible harvest, and among those
who are least able to help themselves.

Much can be done to safeguard the

awakes to the tremendous Importance
Of the subject
One of the quickest ways to get re-
suits in your campaign to protect your
own family from impure milk is to
thoroughly investigate the source of
supply and see that the milk comes
from healthy cows. and is handled
in such a way that it reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
1t has not been warmer than so de-
grees since milking. and that there
has been no possible chance of dust or
dirt Of any character getting into 1t,
The very best and most satisfactory
way to secure pure milk, at the lowest
possible cost Is to keep a COW your
self, If your circumstances will permit
All you will need Is small stable.
and lot of paddock where the COW
can get out into the fresh air for ex-
ercise. Even under city or suburban
conditions milk can be produced for
from three to Ave cents q quart, buy
ing all the feed. Many city man is
getting all the milk his family wants
for their own use and is selling
enough besides to pay for his cows
entire keep.
Milk, when taken from the COW In
the proper manner. is as clean as any
article of food that we have, The
sooner 1t reaches the consumer and
the fewer hands 1t has to pass
through, the smaller the opportunity
for foreign matter and disease germs
to get into 1t. The city family that
owns, feeds and milks its own COW
enjoys one of those great privileges
that make the country better place
to live In than the city.

Hons on Alfalfa.

A Kansas farmer, who raises be-
tween 500 and 600 hogs ever year,
says that his hogs have turned into
pork by running on alfalfa pasture
with an average of about one ear of
corn per day until the last six weeks
when they are given all the corn they
will eat In addition to the alfalfa. This
farmer, who seems to know his bust
ness, says he does not pasture so
closely but that he is able to get two
and sometimes three cuttings per
annum from them and these will
average from three-quarters to a little
over ton per cutting. Some braias
