True Contentment,

John Ruskin: The things to be de-
sired for man in a healthy state are
that he should not see dreams, but
realities, that he should not destroy
life, but save it; and that he should
be not rich, but content.
Towards which last state Of con-
tentment I do not see that the world
is at. present approximating. There
are. indeed, two forms of discomfort;
one laborious, the other indolent and
complaining. We respect the man OF
laborious desire, but let us not sup
pose that his restlessness is peace, or
Mis- ambition meekpess.. 1t is because
Of the special connection of meekness
with contentment that it is promised
that. the meek shall inherit the
EARTH. Neither covetous men nor the
grave can inherit anything; they cal
but consume. Only contentment car
| possess. .,. -.
The most helpful and sacred work
therefore, which can at present be
done for humanity Is to teach people
(chiefly by example, as all best teach
ing must be done) not how "to better
themselves" but how to satisfy them
selves" 1t is the curse of every evi
nation and evil creature to eat, anC
not be satisfied. The words OF bless.
| ing are, that they shall eat and be sat,
isf1ed. And as there Is only one kline
| of water which quenches all thirst, 81
there Is only m kind Of bread which
satisfies all hunger, the bread Of jus

tice Or righteousness; which hunger
ing after, men shall always be filled,
that being the bread of Heaven, but
hungering after the. bread. or wages
of unrighteousness, shall not be filled
that being the bread of Sodom.
And, in order to teach men how
to be satisfied, it is necessary, fully to
understand the art and joy of humble
life-this, at. present, of all arts or
sciences being the one most needing
study. Humble life-that Is to say,
proposing to itself. no future exalta-
ton, but only a sweet continuance; not
excluding the idea of foresight, but
wholly of fore sorrow, and taking no
troublous thought for cming" days;
tso,S also, not excluding the idea OF
providence, or provision, but wholly OF
accumulation-the life Of domestic
peace, full of s~ensitiveness to all ele-
ments of costless and kind pleasures

the natural world. - ....s 81. ~.

Traininq Helen for Robert.

"Woman's Home Companions: A~Wo-
man contributor tells how, wien tne
assistance of her servant, Massie,
she trained her daughter, Helen, for
marriage to RoDerl. AS"A
extract:
For a time her most serious trouble
seemed to lie in buying meats. Our
bill increased alarmingly. One morn
ing I heard Maggie remark:
"sWell, Miss Helen. if you say to the
butcher II don't know a thing apout
meat. Send a nice steak for six" ne
sure will cheat you. And it amt any
use for YOU to poke your fingers into q
piece Of meat and look wise. Hell see
trough YOU. You got to know meat
This appealed to me as sound rea-
soning. Every morning during the next
fortnight I went with Helen TO the
market, and the butcher consented
to explain cuts to us if we came in
early. Thanks to this plan, Hesen now
knows how to buy meat.
Before she learned values In mousse
hold linen we added to our supply some
most undesirable bargains. she VIII
never waste Roberts money on the
same sleazy, mercerized towels or
sheeting.
aAnd directly she could spare time
from her practical course of training
as a purchasing and d~istrtbutlng
agent, Maggie, the faithful, began to
l GO AAt q - ~ 84s a
Instruct her in plain cooking.
.All this has not been easy Tor Hel-
en- nor her mother. But it will make
things much easier for Helen and her
husband. Doubtless she will make
mistakes. The best and most expert
enced Of us older women do that. But
she will know how to those mis-
takes with a brave smile. Her hus-
band will never gaze at her in helpless
dismay while, she implores him to take
her home to- mother until q new serv-
liant is installed in her kitchen. Above
ali things she will know the apurcnas-
ing value Of her husbands salary, pc,
Icause she has learned 1t, as n should
lat her mothers expense.
LAST night, when she turned over
the bank and account books, she said
sYou'n never know. dear. what
Mumsey has saved you. no, not Just
in money, but in temper and tears, I
have watereds many of her coat collars
that YOURS might be dry.
II smiled at them both, but said
nothing, why should / tell Robert the
truth?9that I had been trying to
make good as a mother in-IaW for
him, in order that my precious daugh-
ter might be happy with him"

Northwest Miliers Protest.

Thirty-fur' millers Of Minnesota.
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Wisconsin, acting together, have de-
clared in a statement to the inter-
state commerce commission that they
will lose their eastern business if the
general 5 per cen advance asked
by the railroads is granted. The
whole question of the effect of such
an advance is put before the COM
mission, and lake carriage of wheat
and the prospect of free Canadian
wheat also enter into it. That the
advance asked for means the stamp
Of finality upon the milling industry
Of Minneapolis, and the northwest,
that no further growth can follow
that the future capacity addition will
be built at Buffalo or other eastern
points instead, is asserted in the
protest, which Francis B. James, a
Washington attorney, has filed.
Mr.. Gross of the Moorhead mills
say their eastern business is handl-
ed by the office in Minneapolis and
he is not closely in touch with the,
protest, but undoubtedly the Baldwin
Milling Co. is among the protesters.
Mr.. Wright Of the Fargo mill says
they are among the professors for self
presentation as if the rate is granted
it means some supremacy for the
Canadian mills, who would have an
advantage of about 4 cents a barrel
and with margins as close as they are
would mean a great deal. !

why TAXES ARE HIGHER
Two Reasons Given by the County
Auditor-One Is Limit of
Exemption.

A prominent farmer and taxpayer
was heard commenting on the notices
Of personal property taxes due by
County Treasurer Paulson. He said:
1T has always appeared queer to me
that so many people neglect to keep
Despite the fact that nearly all Of the
phases of the matter of taxation have
been discussed during the summer and
fall in the papers, explanations given
on this and that reason for a h1gheN
assessment by the assessors and coun-
ty auditor, changes in the laws ex-'
planned, ETC., now when the line comes
10 walk up to the captains desk and
pay the bill there go up shouts Of hor-
ror as to the why and wherefore Of the
gentle tilt in taxes. The time for OBJ
iections is when the assessor is max
ing his anvass and at the Inn OF the
meetings of the different boards of re-
view. also a little watching would do
no harm when the boys are at st. Paul
attending the legislature and making
laws and changing laws. Starting a
'throng Of enquiries now and glarine
at the officials who have simply made
the figures as required by law will dc
no good. Grumbling now won't help
a particle, simply go and pay the bill
According to County Auditor Hong
I!um, there are two reasons for Moor
lhead personal property taxes being
higher this year.
First. the tax rate is 10 mills, OF
more than rs per e higher than last
wear. The tax rate this year is ,43
mills as against 33 mills last ear.
Another reason why many persons
personal property taxes are higher
than last year and previously is be-
cause. of. a. change in the law regarding
exemptions. Previously every person,
al property taxpayer was given ar
exemption Of 800. Under a law pass,
ed. by the last legislature this exemp'
ltion is given only to heads of families
lWhere a person is not the head of {
family he no longer gets the benefit
of this exemption, Inc the tax on Thu
extra 500 at the present tax rat
amounts to $3.50. This, with the adde's
10 mills in the tax rate makes quite
an increase in the taxes. i

BIRD FLIGHT IN ENGLAND.
Mobilization of the "Armies of 'the
Air" Begins in Early August.

London Chronicles: The great aut-
umn migration of the birds, which be-
gins with the passing of the sw1fts in
the early days of August, has COM
menced.
This great annual fight still retains
all it's interest, and much of it's mys-
terry, for students of wild life. We do
not yet, and probably never shall.
quite understand many points con-
corning 1T. Ill"
1t is not difficult to see that, as
summer declines and supplies of food
become scantier, creatures endowed
with such ready and perfect means of
locomotion as birds, should change
their quarters to districts where SUM-
shine and all that it stands for is to-
be found in abundance. A gradual
withdrawal to the warmer, richer
countries of the south in he autumn
and a corresponding expansion north
ward in the spring would appear to be
the most natural course.
But the mystery, at least as far as
the vast proportion of migrant birds
is concerned, lies in the fact that the
words like blows. as one listener de-
movement is seldom gradual and indi-
vidual, with each bird acting accord
ing to the exigencies of the moment.
| There seems to be organization every
where, and a fine generalsh1p at all
times. -.- .~.'',.,: =.
August may be regarded as the
month of mobilization. for, these great
armies of the air, when vast prepara-
tions are in train, but with little to
show for them .outwardly. Every
where the birds are getting together in
hocks that daily increase in numbers.
No doubt at this time the birds which
have passed the summer with us are
largely reinforced by immigrants from
countries farther north; which are
merely using the British Isles as Il
temporary halting place. The sW1tts
pass on at once, and with them the
cuckoos. But the great proportion
linger and accumulate until the month
Is nearly out, and the grand exodus
begins.
It seems to be fairly well established,
that all the, first, patches OF autumn
migrants leaving our shores consist, IN
the main, of young birds which nave
never yet made this, nor any other,
long Journey. How these manage 10
reach their destination unguided over
the thousands of miles of land n sea
is still on unsolved riddle. Indeed, the
whole question of how migrating plfos
find their way between widely separat-
ed points is yet a mystery. 1t cannon
be by sight, for they fly by night rs
often as by day. Probably the true ex-
PLANTATION will be foun in the possess
ion by, all wild creatures, IN, a lesser
or greater degree, of a sixth sense
which may be called the sense or dlrec-
ton.
