Instinct Versus Reason.

There has been current in England
of recent years a reaction against rea-
son, an avowed worship of instinct and
tradition and even prejudice. The
doctrines of this reaction are within
themselves fascinating, and they have
been preached by fascinating writer's.
The way Of instinct and old habit is
SO full of ease,so facile and strong and
untroubled! Look at the faces of men
who are wrapped up In some natural
and instructive purpose. Look at a
dog chasing his prey, lover pursuing
his beloved, a band Of vigorous men
advancing to battle, a crowd Of friends
drinking and laughing. That shows US,
say the writer's aforesaid, what life
can be and what 1t ought to be. Let
US not think and question: they say.
Let US be healthy and direct, not
fret against the main current of in.
stinctive feeling and tradition"
In matters of art such a habit of
mind may be valuable; in matters of
truth or of conduct 1t is, believe,
as disastrous as it is alluring.-Gilbert
Murray in the Atlantic.

The use of asphyxiating gas in war
is not new, as an article you carried
recently showed. But one instance,
from literature. as recall 1t, you over
looked. That instance is ip Caesars
Column" novel of the economic rev.
olution In 1880 or whereabouts. written
by Ignatius Donnelly. thirty or thirty
five years ago. In the book, Donnelly
has a great scene showing how the

No Fear of Error.

Rev. Alfred Noon, patriarch Of the
Sons of Temperance, said in Lunen-
burg:
I'm glad to see that England, as re-
CARDS her beer, has followed the ex-
ample of Russia with her vodka and
France with her absinthe.
English beer-over here we call it
porter stout or ale-is very strong
and insidious. , 1t makes men slaves.
There's a story on this head story
about young man who used to take
his beer out of his own pewter mug.
He said to the barmaid one day:
always give me my beer in my
own mug. Never any other. Make no
mistake
"'Oh, no fear Of making any mis-
take about your mug, SIR said the
barmaid.
Nor said the young rnan.
"No,' said she. The handles al
ways warm"

SELDOM LIKE THIS IN LIFE
To Most Married Men the Story Will
Seem to Have an impossible
Ending.

House cleaning, like the measles, is
. disagreeable, but 1t is a necessary
evil which it seems every domestic
organization must go through. And
the Comely household was no excep-
ton. In the course of spring renova-
ton, Mrs. Comely's attention was
drawn to the proverbial old clothes
man.
Got any old suits Of your husbands
to SELF" inquired the o. c. M.
Oh, the voice of the tempter!
Sure" replied Mrs. Comely. he's
got closet full"
Whereupon the lady went upstairs
and dug up three suits of clothes, two
pair of shoes and two old hats, for
all of which o. c. NJ segregated him
self from six bits.
That night, Of course the housewife
told her husband what she had done,
for Mrs. Comely kept no secrets from
her husband-that is, no secrets that
she thought he ought to know-and
she took him up to the clothes closet
to show him what she had disposed
of.
Sure" remarked Mr.. Comely. 'Tm
mighty glad you got rid of 'em. You
didn't sell a thing that l could use
again.

BEAUTY SPOT OF BULGARIA
'RegIon That Has Combination Of
Charms Probably Unequaied In
the Whole World.

A wide stretch of Bulgaria south Of
the main Balkan range is = regioz
of roses. II stands high above the sea
level and stretches southwark to
-Phiiippopolis, a distance Of so miles.
From east to west 1t has a like ex-
tension. On all sides 1t is practically
bounded by mountains, hills, stupen-
dous rocks, passes, ravines and preci.
pices, with scattered forests of wal
nut and chestnut, and other trees.
Altogether 1t offers a combination of
charms the like OF which is probably
mot to be found in Europe, II indeed
I'm the world. Through 1t meanders the
slow Tundja p tributary Of the MART
"a, the river that flows past Adrian
ople. The Tundja has its source in
gorge of the Balkans and flows for
more than 10 miles through an al
most unbroken succession of def1les,
valleys and plains. Roses are every
where. They have bloomed there for
Centuries, but never SO profusely as
during the last two centuries. At
certain seasons the air is al
most oppressive with the scent
of countless blossoms Rose gar
.idens, large and small, lie in all
directions In the plains and valleys
.and on the hillsides. They present
medley of whites, pinks, reds and yell
,lows. imbedded in a mass Of many
shaded leaves.
The trees and bushes-many OF
them brought originally from various
parts of the Old World, India and Per
sia having provided a goodly proper
Sion of them-are thrown together in
wild, though happy, confusion. Roses
cabound, too. in yards and back gar
tdens, on the walls Of cottages and
iouthouses and along paths and roads.
=. In and around this huge rose gar
den flourish in well-nigh tropical lux
uriance, yellow gentian, wild lilac Of
various tints and many other flowers.
Among these is the scarlet geranium,
the favorite of the Bulgarian peasants.
And all this is amid a blueness Of
sky, a wealth Of sunshine and won
derful purity of atmosphere.

Valuable Botanical Specimens.

DR.. Nathaniel Lord Britton, director
in general of the New York Botanical
garden since 1896, has returned from
a trip to Porto Rico, which was
fraught with valuable results. The
work was a continuation of the scien-
titic survey of the island undertaken
by the New York Academy Of Sci
ences, in cooperation with the insular
government, the American Museum OF
Natural History and other institu-
tons. Parts Of the island which sci
entists had not previously explored
were visited, where more than eight
thousand specimens, represented by
1925 field numbers, were collected.
Many duplicates of rare or otherwise
interesting species were obtained for
use in exchanges with other gardens
and museums.

WHAT QUANTITY OF FEED

The following letter was recently
sent out by r. W. l.attn, specialist
in dairying, of the New Mexico Col

"The matter of how much feed to
