Wordsworth on Real Estate.

There is al interesting story OF
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, in
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. c. Benson in the Cen.
fury Magazine. There was a gathering
of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for a long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau, I congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and it will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
in your life."
He paused for q moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with . fine
gesture, continued:
"Your property will certainly be
trebled in value within the next ten
years!"

PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT
South American Frigorificos viii Soon
Be Turning Out an Immense
Supply Of Food.

A frigoriflco is a freezing plant in
South America. It is a plant that
freezes fat cattle or sheep or lambs
and sends them in refrigerated ships
northward to Europe. Perhaps later
they will send them to the United
States.
On the Island of TERRA del Fuego,
far south to the Jumping off place,
sheep get very fat on the good grass.
Incredible as 1t may seem, a short
time ago fine fat sheep were boiled
down for their tallow. Now a mod.
ern frigorifco is prepared to kill them
and send them north of the equator.
There is another of these newly erect.
ed frigoriicos at Rio Gallegos, IN.

Julian and other new ones are at

These frigorificos make possible the
directing of q great stream of good
lamb and mature mutton northward,

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Was the "~Forbidden Fruit" In the
Garden Of Eden.

Why and how it has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den of Eden is one Of the great puz-
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 3, where the incident
of the eating of this fruit Of the "Tree
of knowledge Of Good and Evil" is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit. All that is said Is: "And
when the woman saw that the tree
vas good for food, and that It was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make n wise, she took Of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse g..
In fact, scholars doubt very serious
" whether it was the apple at all.
They suggest that all evidence points
to it having been the ounce, fragrance
81 which was held in the highest es.
TEEN by the Orientals. Another point
in favor of the ounce is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and in a great many

English Church Gives Sufirage.

The Church of England has taken
long step toward equal rights for
women. Sitting in solemn conclave
at Westminster, the Representative
Church Council, consisting of the
TWO Houses of the Conyocations Of
Canterbury and York, and Of the
Houses of Laymen of the two provin-
ces. decided to give women an equal
right to vote with men in the cleo
tion OF Church Councils
The cause Of church suffrage for
women was championed by the Arch
bishop of York and the Bishops of
London and Southwel1: but IL was
a working man who put tho case in a
nutshell. He declared that the ex-
clusion Of women was wholly illogl-
cal: the church accepted the work of
women, but refused them the privi-
leges granted to men. Where would
the church be II 1t we're not for the
devoted and unpaid work of thou
sands of women? The argument
seems to have struck home. The
Bishops voted in favor of justice to
women, % to 3; the clergy, 80 to Is !;
and the laymen, 76 to r.
The same question had come up
the week before in the Council of the
United (Jewish) Synagogue. Il was
proposed TO give women stockholders
the right to vote in all meetings OF
constituent synagogues. The motion
was lost, but II came so near passing
