Interfering With Nature.

In great many cases the spirit of
mankind in refusing to accept the limi-
tations imposed upon it bv nature has
resulted in a great and lasting benefit.
A typical, If rather sensational, instance
of this may be found in the work of Mr.
Luther Burbank, who, by twisting nature
TO his needs, has created new fruits and
vegetables for human food Judging
from his anatomical construction man
was not intended to fly, but he is doing
pretty well at 1t, albeit he is still in the
experimental stage, and if one reckons
too closely the lists of deaths among the
aviators that may be easily offset by any
observer, by the great number Of birds,
naturally flyers. who futter to their
deaths while testing the wings that ma
ture has provided.
But that in some cases interference
with nature has unhappy results is unde,
niable. ThereI is the case OF Australia
far instance, which imported the English
rabbit for food purposes, and which
found these rodents multiplying so rap.
idly that they destroyed all of The grow
ing crops and made their destruction a
matter OF enormous expense to the gov
eminent. A recent case of similar i'm
port is that of Bohemia, which impaired
from this country several pairs OF musk
rats, which animals have increased so
greatly that they are rapidly killing of

devised TO keep their numbers down.

you by aising their voices against your

That GOAL Tax.

New England consumers of anthracite
coal will not be surprised by the state
ment Of the Secretary of the Pennsyl.
vania Fuel Association that there is no
prospect of reduced prices. Wages are
rising, deeper mining costs more. and
the veins are growing thinner. These
facts have been known for years, and the
hope of lower prices was based largely
upon the possibilities of economy in
mining methods. But now there is an
other reason for the higher charges the
State of Pennsylvania has levied an ad
valorem tax of two and one-half per
cent. on every ton mined.
The coal men objected to the tax. but
the Legislature thought that their mo-
tlves were selfish. and the bill was pass
ed. The companies. Of course, have no
intention Of paving the tax to the end.
1t is passed along TO the ultimate con-
sumner, and thus part of the high cost of
living hereabouts may be attributed to
the law makers at Harrisburg.
The levy certainly is very unpopular
one, but what can the buyer at retail do
about its imposition before the Supreme
Court decides whether or not the law is
unconstitutional? There is only one am
swer-he must pay.-Providence Jour-
nal.

Ancients Were Alfalfa Wise.

Reading ancient books on agriculture
shows that the farmers of old knew
nearl, as much about alfalfa and Its cult.
IRE as we know today They knew
1000 years ago that the plant throve best
on calcareouS soil that to top dress it
whh ashes promoted its thrift; that be-
fore seeding 1t was better to drain the
land and to apply quantities OF manure.
1t is recorded also that the first wear that
the alfalfa must not be cut too soon or
it my be killed, but apparently there
is no'\record of their having observed
that alfalfa should never be cut before
lis little new shoots appear at the base Of
the stems. close to the earth, or just be-
meath the earth.
This is the most vital fact of alfalfa
growing after the need of drainage, lin e,
and fertility. Various English agricult-
wrists nearly 200 years ago wrote enthus, j..
astically OF alfalfa growing yet it did not
much advance, probably because the fir e.
quent cuttings they advised. without
waiting for the appearance of the new
shoots, so weakened the plants that they
became a prey to the weeds and grasses,
or died in the winter. Breeders Ga

The Mad War Lord.

Emperor William. having declared war
on Russia, forced France into the fighting
and drove Great Britain into aggressive
as well as defensive measures for her own
protection. He has brought upon Europe
a war that will, in truth, stagger human
ity. This he has done at a time when
civilization was believed to have reached
a higher plane than at any other era in the
worlds history, at time when Germany
claims precedence in all that pertains to
human knowledge and to the progress
OF science. This war is not one between
savage tribes seeking rapine and plumber.
but among the worlds greatest powers,
and however it may end must mean set
back in the worlds advance along all
lines that lead to human advancement
and human betterment.
This war of the twentieth century

Kalser's own making. Upon his should

Getting Along.

A man has very weary time awaiting
to rise in the world by force of sympa-
thy, or by getting somebody else to pull
him along. You always see such people
standing around expecting compassion,
and lift from some one who has sue
ceeded. But this is not the way that
success is attained. That comes by
working for it. by being worthy of it, by
doing ones best, if it comes at all. The
world is full of faiIur $ because a man
hangs back and depends upon others.
Efficiency is the greatest word in the
English language. There is no real
progress without it. And what does ef-
ficiency consist in? Ofsobriety, honesty.
diligence, patience, happiness and I'M

The Underwood Tariff Produces
S23 100000 a Month.

During the first nine months of its op-
Grafton the Underwood Tariff Law, ac-
cording to the Department of Commerce
figures announced recently, yielded
somewhat less revenue than the PAYNE
Law. slightly more than the Dineley
Law, and one and half times as much
as the Mckinley and Wilson Laws.
The Underwood Tariff is producing an
average of S23. 900, 900 a month. the

Crops and General Prosperity,

Alexander D. Moves, financial editor
OF the New York Evening Post, writing
in the Youths Companion on the signif
canoe OF goo, 600 600 bushel wheat crop
says: Abundant crops in any country

a farmers earnings and wealth depend on
how much he can raise and sell, big
crop is windfall. both to him and to the
employees whom he pays for harvesting it.
Since something like one-third of the
people engaged in productive occupa-
tons in the United States work on its
farms, bountifnl crops directly enrich
very great part of the country's popula-
ton. But the farmer who earns more
money can afford to spend more-for new

And Women Must Weep

In the streets of Paris and of Berlin
and of Saint Petersburg, along with the
throngs of men filled with what they
fancied to be the spirit of patriotism and
shouting wildly. were crowds of weep
ing women and children. War had
been declared and war, to women, does
not mean glory.
To them it means parting from hus-
bands and sons. from brothers and from
lovers, possibly forever. 1t means heavy
lear and dread. 1t means heartache
and misery. To multitudes it means
poverty and want because of the taking
away of the bread winners; it means for
uncounted thousands wldowhood and
desolation.
1t is the greater and more bitter suffer
ings than any ruler has a right to inflict
upon them save for most righteous
cause, and no such cause exists in Eu-
rope today. When such a cause arises.
as in our late Civil War women are al
ways ready to make the supreme sac
rihces and to give up their nearest and
dearest for their country's sake But
more and more they are coming to re-
sent the wrong that is done them in wars
for which there is no excuse save polit-
ical ambitions.
The revolt is likely to be more bitter
and OF greater force in this needless con-
f1lct which is now convulsing Europe.
Women have been helpless hitherto
they are helpless now. but their voices
raised in solemn protest must be heard
