Filtration is Greatest Game
in All the World

seven deadly sins, that man should
never make tender speech to a woman
unless he is ready to pop the question,
and that a woman should never look
sentimentally at man, even when she
has on white dress and is sitting in
the moonlight, unless she is ready to
hot-foot it TO the altar with him, but
this is too strenuous a view TO take Of
the subject,
A man may admire a charming woman,
and enjoy telling her so without want
ing to marry her, and a woman may
equally enjoy hearing him say It without
having any matrimonial designs upon
him. It's poor creature that looks a
gift compliment in the mouth. and de
msnds that everybody shall make good
on their pretty speeches 1t is enough
for US when things are made pleasant
fer us, without inquiring too closely into
how it was done.
Just what class the law against flirt-
ing was Ges gned to protect is not clear
Not women. surely, for co4uetry is a
womans best friend. 1t is the weapon
with which she protects her own heart.
and by which she secures husband,
and keeps him after she gets him. As
long as a woman practices the fine art
of filtration, she keeps mans interest
piqued and alert. and he never grows
tired OF her and It Is because so
many wives grow tired of the game of
hearts and throw down their hands that
so many husbands drift off 40 other
women who are experts at playing it.
So far as men are concerned. to pro-
tect them from being flirted with would
be to deprive them of a most educational
opportunity. In the Dolly Dialogues, -
that eminent philanthropist, Lady Doro-
thea Mickleham, referring to the work
of her heart Al her hand. pointed out
that young man who, when he fell in
love with her, was a simple country lad
who wore his trousers too short and his
hair too long, and played the fiddle
emerged from the filtration thorough
man of the world. a credit to his tailor
and source of pride to his friends
J Lady Dolly was, OF course, an artist
but all of us have seen lesser miracles
happen, and there is, in Tality. no better
cure for the bumptious, cocksure youth
with swell head and an inflated sense
of his own Importance, than the enlight
ening experience of being we'll Tilted.
Naturally, there Is some danger of &
heart being occasionally hurt in
| filtration, but the risk is so little tina
1t is scarcely worth considering, II take
a very stupid person not to recogniz,
sincerity when he or she sees II, or t,
be fooled by pretense, and as long a
an imitation fire starts no conflagration
we are justified In ranking, filtration
among the comedies of life and not it
tragedies. -

gambling in hearts will always meet with
popular execration. So far as matters
of the affections are concerned the lid
will always be off, and people will be
ready to take chances. 1t is better to
have been made love to in sport than
never to have been made love to at all,
is sentiment which obtains among both
men and women.
To eliminate filtration would be to
turn life from poetry into prose, and to
do away with most of the visible supply
of romance. If every man were required
to file schedule of his intentions with
his attentions, If every woman had to
give bends that her smiles and her
glances meant all they seem to imply,
existence would be robbed of half its
amusements.
Moreover, there would be no more
mixed parties. Society would be divided
into hen clubs and stag gatherings, for
there is, in reality, but one topic of dis
Jcussion that men and women have In
common, that they understand equally
well, and in which their mutual interest
never flags, and that is the eternal sub
ject of love.
Bar this subject from conversation, and
women would prefer to talk to women
and men to men, No man decoys a
violet-eyed little debutante into a palm
shaded corner to discuss the financial
outlook, or the foreign loan, or &c
presidential possibilities with her. No
woman could gossip about fashions with
a man from p. m. to l a. m. without
yawning. 1t is the electric possibility OF
love, 1t is the playing with firebrand

blaze of passion that gives zest and spice
to the social intercourse between mer
and women.

Tile Drainage Again.

Last Spring had an article in this paper
on the subject of tile drainage. Drainage
of the farm lard on the reservation 10 just
as important now as then. and now Is an ex-s
cellent time to do this work. There are
various reasons why il should be attended
to now, some of them are, that the ground
il as a rule more solid, making it easier to
distribute the tile without injuring the soil,
and that the bitches that are put in this Fall
will be ready to drain the land next Spring
when they are needed most, thus saving. in
Some casas, several weeks Of valuable time.
Why Land Should be Dtalned.
Tho much water on the cultivated land
10 detrimental, these wet areas are usually
90 wet in the Spring that the farmer il de-
layed some two or three weeks waiting for
for the water to soak away. Where the
soil il wet, it is always cold, and this will
retard the growth of the crop planted on
them, and sometimes an entire failure in
places, it also prevents plants from roofing
down deep into the soil. This and various
could be sighted way the farmer should
draid his lnad.
The Kind Of Drains.
The best drains for most farm land il the
tile drain, because it can be made to drain
the land ard and can be farmed over with
out moIesting the efficiency of the ditch
and losing the use of the ground that an
open ditch will take up, TO say nothing
about the Inconvenience of using machinery
over or around these open bitches.
In laying out system of drainage for 4
tract of land ii IL NECESSARY to have the main
ditch located that II can be tapped by the
laterals or other smaller bitches emptying
into it 80 the water can be removed from
the field in the least possible time, and tn at
the main ditch is large enough to carry this
water away rs fast as it comes into it.
To one not acquainted with the work.
ings of tile drain it is puzzle sometimes
how the water is drawn into the tile, some
suppose that the water must soak through
the tiis; such is n5t the case, all the water
must enter at the joints, and the tile should
oe laid closer together to prevent the dirt
from getting into the tile and filling it up.
