Teaching Agriculture.

Agriculture is best taught in
the schools, to the boys and girls
by having them bring their own
data for arithmetic, English, bot
any, chemistry entomology and
other nature studies. By thus
bringing the actual data they
can learn the rudiments in a
most practical manner. They
should. be taught to judge the
distance with the eye and by
comparison. In this way they
can leaTn to measure the height
of a Tree, the bulk Of cordwood
and tan bark, the capacity OF wae
on boxes, of silos and Of haylofts.
the injurious insects and noxi-
GUS weeds. they will learn how to
feed the cattle and all the prob
lens pertaining to the cost Of bad
roads, and who pays it. They will
learn the different methods of
building sheds and barns; to pain
and how to paper. They will Learn
how to make pactical applica-
ton of everything that comes to
their notice. 1t will get the boys
and girls in the habit Of doing
their own figuring, and they will
get a lot Of fun out of it. 1t will
be the basis Of rural prosperity.
Head work pays on the farm as
we'll. as anywhere. This method
will furnish the one needful thing
in making home life pure and
more prosperous. We need less
high brow science and more gum
ption and the way to obtain it is
to start the boys and girls. to us
ing their wits instead Of taking
things ready-made out of a book.

WILL NOT DANISH
SUNDAY DINNER"
Indiana Suffragists Brand
Kansas Plan as Non
sensical.
CNational News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-The big
Sunday dinner" will not be banished
in Indiana if the opposition of the
woman sufrragists is required TO bring
about its humiliation, according to
the Woman's Franchise League of In
diana
A movement was started out in
Kansas recently by a suffragist organ
ization to do away with the weekly
feasts which have been an established
institution in practically every Ameri-
can household for years and years.
The opposition to this famous repast
was based on the idea of giving wo-
man one day each week to herself so
that in this respect she might be
placed on an equality with man.
Mrs. Ida Grya Scott, of Indianapo-
lis, member of the board of directors
of the Indiana League, assaulted the
campaign as nonsensical and as be-
ing at variance with the essential
aims of the suffrage movement. She
declared that suffrage purposed Civ
ing more to mankind rather than TAX
ing away something, and that it was
an unlikely probability that the Wo-
mans Suffrage League of Indiana
would advocate the anti-Sunday din
ner crusade.
THE matter of big Sunday dinners
is up to the individual for solution. -
declared Mrs. Scott. st would be
folly for our organization TO attempt
to order or request housewives to loaf
on Sunday even should we wish to do
So Personally my greatest delight is
in preparing a perfect Sunday dinner
and | believe such is the case with a
majority of Hoosier women.
LAS seekers after the right to vote
we don't want to take liberties away
from people-we want people to have
more privileges"

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2.-Incompe-
tent fourth class postmasters, of which
there are many in Indiana, according
to reports of inspectors. will be weed
ed out by stiff mental quiz under
the supervision of the civil service
commission in September.
Complaints registered, indicate that
many postmasters are totally unquali-

these reports will not figure against
them if they can survive the exami-
nations proposed by the commission
which will send special examiners in.
to Indiana to supervise the work. Any
person desiring to try for appointment
will be eligible to take the examina-
tons, the papers of which will be
sent to Washington.
While there will be no catch" ques-

to correctly answer such questions as
will prove their capability for holding
such office. Politics will cut no fig
ure in the competition, it is said

Deadly East Indian Oueis.

There are a good deal of savagery
and stoical disregard of death left in
the east yet despite the advance OF
civilization, and this extends to the
so called sports of the people. Thus
among the natives of Baroda there OBJ
tains still kind of gladiatorial dis
play in the shape Of fearful fist fight
wherein the contestants wear very
formidable cestus of steel studded
with murderous spikes. The duelists-

Chanqed With Time.

The word "affectionate" Is an in
stance of how meanings change, for
an affectionate person was originally
the reverse of agreeable, the word
meaning passionate or willful.. John
Knox in 1854 writes of 1.-The govern
ment of an affectionate woman" being
"a rage without reason and century
later another writer deplores the evils
of affectionate soldiers. And now, as
any nursemaid knows, affectionate
soldiers have no evils.-London Stand

p PATH OF THE SUN.
Ste Relation to the Eauinoxes and the
Solstices

The suns path is called the ecliptic.
Ut Is a great circle of the celestial
sphere, cutting the celestial equator ut
two points $50 degrees apart and max
ing with 1t an angle of 2312 degrees
known as the obliquity Of the ecliptic.
The crossing points are called the equi-
aoxes, because the days and nights are
then equal. and the points midway be-
tween the equinoxes are the solstices,
because the sun then seems to stand
still for few days.
The ecliptic Is so called because
eclipses occur only when the moon is
crossing it or is near 1t, for the moons
orbit cuts the ecliptic in two points,
called nodes or knots, and at other
times is above or below 1t. If the
moon. when in either node. is in line
with the sun and the earth we have
an eclipse, either total or annular. If
she is near her node we have partial
eclipse.
The moons nodes are not stationary.
but move backward on the moons
orbit, completing a revolution in about
nineteen years, when the ecltpses of
the period recur in the same order and
at about the same intervals as before
This period of eighteen years and elev-
en- days is called the saros. 1t was
known to the Chaldeans and the
Greeks and gave them their data for
computing eclipses.
Any intelligent person can trace the
suns path in the heavens. If the sun
rises exactly in the east and sets in
the west 1t is the time of the equi-
noxes. If the sunrise and sunset
points are farthest north and the sun
at MONDAY Is highest in the heavens
at is the time Of the summer solstice.
If the sunrise and sunset points are
farthest south and the sun is very low
IN the heavens at monday it is the
time OF tia winter solstice.-Harper's
Weekly

How Coal Ia Wasted.

Not only the mine owner and his en-
ployee are censurable for waste. 1t
has been estimated that the railroads.
the largest consumers of coal, utilize
less than so per cent of the heat in the
coal which they burn under their loco
motives. II 60 per cent Is wasted by
the operator and so per cent of that is
lost by the railroads only 80 per cent is
actually utilized and 70 per cent Is
wasted, and not the railroads only, but
all consumers are equally wasteful.--
