in the yard?
How many hours are her back
bent over the wash-tub, rubbing in
the same primitive fashion, the fami-
ly wash as her grandmother did
before her?
How many nights does the farm
ers' wife sit up to make hot brans
and mashes for the sick and ailing
stock?
How many pounds of butter has
she churned out Of the churn of the
vintage Of 1776?
And how many farmers have ever
given these things a thought?
Isn't it blessing (for the far
mer) that some farms are too far
from the railroad and the good roads
over which the automobiles whiz, to
permit some of the women who are
SO familiar with that list of queries,
to get in touch with the progress
which automobiles and good roads
stand for?
If the census people would take
another census, and make a parallel
of the patent pillow plus the patent
churn:
The new range and the we'll filed
wood box, plus the self-flling feed
troughs and the improved farm ma
chinery;
The horse power cutters and chop
pers, plus the old windlass well;
The sunrise to sunset work of the
man, plus the sunrise to sunrise
work of the women;
The day off to town or the court
house, of the man, plus the once-a-
year Big Meeting of the woman.
THAT would be an interesting lot
of statistics, wouldn't it?
And when you ponder on that
while, do you wonder:
That the single woman lives longer
than the woman married to such
man;
That any other business than that
of home-making is more conducive to
longevity, for woman;
And that there is a reason for the
mind giving away, when living under
such conditions?
If Pankhurstism could be relegated
to the places where men of the stamp
referred to, live, what blessing it
would be.

Well, if you think it over care
fully, under Dictator Diaz' long rule,
the Mexicans, didn't kill each other
so often as they are doing now.
So far as we can glimpse it from
here, the hardest thing our troops
will have to do while con the Dor
der" will be to learn how to pro-
nounce some of those Mexican
names.
One of the really pitiable figures
in history is poor little King George.
Ulster, the Suffragettes and Queen
Mary, all at one time are enough to
make the man want to quit the job
of Ringing.
We knew it was bound to happen
as soon as those cities out West be-
gan putting women on the police
force: in San Francisco one of the
new members of the force is teaching
the others how to tango!
Just to prove to you that women
ARE becoming commonwealth spots,
we cite you to a dry goods store ad.
which reads: Dainty rose trimming
by the yard and in clusters; charm
ing on delicate gowns, boudoir caps
and lamD-shades.
Headline in a New York paper
states "Tammany Asks Voters to Fa-
vor 1915 Convention" which is some
concession for Tammany. Formerly
a club was the means by which Tam
many got what was wanted.
The man who tries to liken the
trouble between the English govern
ment and Ulster, today, with that
between the Old Country and Ameri-
ca in 1776, needs to brush up a bit
on his history.
The devilish ingenuity for "con-
fining" some of the over-curves of
the feminine flesh, as pictured by the
dry-goods ads in the daily papers,
leads one to suppose the corset de-
signers must have had access to the
torture chambers of the Inquisition.
How sensitive some people become
after they get in the limelight:
here's Doc Cook suing a playwright
because one of the characters in a
play said doc Cook lied'-when if
lit wasn't for that lie Doc never
would have been known.
Just because he had not told any
thing of it in advance, the man who
gets up the monthly weather dope,
didn't have a word to say about the
perfectly good earth quake we had

The Florida land shark, sailing

Wasn't it a piece of pork or some
thing like that that finally killed Ma

than any other industrial
body-they have to, their business
demands that they keep two ewes
skinned all the time on fires, diseases
and other things likely to put a
crimp in the dividends of the com
panies
Comparatively few years ago,
women were permitted to have their
lives insured, though the rate is
higher, age for age, than fer a man,
and the companies consider women
greater risks than men.
A recent set Of statistics has
shown some interesting figures, from
the view point of insurance, and we
are told that "spinsters live longer
than married women, the woman in
business for herself lives longer than
the woman who is married, and the
woman who has an endowment poll
cy, lives longer than the woman who
has a straight-out policy"
Now if the su1fragettes ever get
hold of these statistics, there will be
more red fire burned, and more cart
tail speeches with those statistics as
evidence, than any of Gus anti's"
will ever be able to refute.
Along on the same line, but in a
different channel, we are told that it
has become more and more difficult
for the farmer folk to keep their
young men and young women at
home, on the farm.
The college, the business school
and the store all call the new blood
from the tilling of acres, and there
fc ut hi71o 41aoo
suit of this, to the woman of the
farm.
Another set of statistics compiled
some years ago, showed that the
greater number of cases of insanity,
came from the farming districts
and that this was especially true in
New England, with a fair percentage
in Western and Southern States
Anything that will add to the life
of useful WOman-and by that is
meant the woman who is keeping a
home, is worth trying for, and it will
uncover good many skeletons, when
the real cause for the figures which
the insurance people, the doctors
and the census people quote from, is
found.
There is no more dismal place on
the globe, than that of the farm
whose owner is farming because his
father did before him, and whose
enthusiasm is bound by the number
of calves the COWS bring forth, the
size of the pig filters, the working
possibilities of his horses, and who
gives more thought to the housing
Of these, than he does to the care,
health and happiness Of the wife and
other women folk in his family who
make all this possible, by their work
and accomplishing docility.
When the last analysis is made,
this will be found the common meet
ing ground of most Of the statistics
referred to.
Just how many mOther-hearts
break each year, when the boy or
girl leaves the farm to enter the city
business life, which means at least
cheerfulness, change and the ming
ling with other young folks, can
never be known. And yet, these
mothers would rather suffer in 81
lence, the loss of companionship and
the dreary days and nights, than to
feel that the son or daughter would
be called on to tread the same weary
round of never-fnished work, which
so many Of the farmers wives bear
with year after year,
How many days in the year are
started off badly because the wood
bOX is never filled with dry, light

Hrin,inaIa of Manila

; Criminals are practically unknown in Manila," observed an official of that city. II mean by this that there is no criminal class in the islands, as there is in European countries and in the United States. The yeggman, the pro fessional pickpOcket and sneak thief do not exist there. Of course we have to deal with high crimes, and there are a considerable number of murders. Doubtless this. is due to the mercurial temperament of the people. The Eli pinOs are much like the Spaniards. They are easily angered and commit murder in a moment of passion. The spirit of revenge also is pronounced among the Filipinos. have found that most of the murders committed are traceable to that old motive-the eternal triangle. don't recall any murders in the Philippines that were committed with guns. The weapon ordinarily used is the knife or bOlO."- Washington Post

Care Free Voyasing on Small Wood
 Burning Steamboats.
 A trip by steamboat on the Eongo river has its lazily amusing attrac- tions as you descend from Stanley vile to the railway at LeUpOldville. d voyage of twelve days. The boats, small. stern wheel affairs. carry from twenty to t5irty cabin passengers each. On the lower deck are the black tray elers. sometimes in a stitiiug crowd. sprawling over the cargo. Most of the captains are Swedes, Russians Or Ger mans. and the engineers are picked up in Sierra Leone. Two companies run boats. and several of the mission sta tions have steamboats of their own besides.
 Some of the boats have small dining rooms; others set the tables on deck. protected from the sun by awnings. The food is not luxurious. and very little fresh meat is to be had. The fuel is wood, and every five or six hours the boat must stop to replenish the supply from heap of cut sticks on the bank. These piles of wood are made by natives or by scattered trad. CTS. often where no habitatlOn k near. and in such cases the captain pays for the wood by putting money in box that the trusting wOOdsman has pro- vided for the purpose.
 Every boat carries a drum. and as it approaches an inhabited district the drum Is beaten to tell the natives that goats. fruit or vegetables are wanted. Every night the steamer ties GpaEainst the bank. and all the black passengers go to sleep on shore. But they devote most of the night to merrymaking and keep those on the boat as wide awake as themselves. s.-Youth's Companion.
