you sec, the trouble lies In tho
education of your women. Most of
them receive higher educations
than men and are regarded by men
as superior beings. That 10 not
right. Women were not meant by
nature for such education. They
were meant TO bear children, to
put into new bodies tho strength
they put into study. When the
brain is used after one has dined Il
takes tho blood from the stomach.
and the digestion 10 impaired. SO,
when women use their brains for
higher studies they arc taking away
what nature gave thcm to mako Into
tiny bones and bodies"
Monsieur Le RouI possesses With
this attitude toward women the accom-
panying chivalry, and so he says, "The
exchange of ideas with a woman Is the
greatest possible pleasure" And he
adds, an harmony with true womanli-
ness is the attitude Of the French
woman toward the man. Even with
masculine education she does not doubt
that the exercise of a profession, the
supervision Of public affairs, gives him
experience that means superior
judgment. The companionship OF man
is indispensable 70 the French woman,
and she does not aspire to be perfect
human being unto herself She is
frankly the mate, the other half of
m-I-of his heart. his mind"
Because Of this companonship with
her husband, this oneness with him, the
French woman, according TO Monsieur
lie Roux, is the happiest in the world.
The feminist movement will never
exist in my country as it does here and
in England. In this country the hus-
band puts his wife on pedestal and
worships her as a goddess.
Women prefer being loved to being
vorshipped, and the Frenchman has
the gift Of expressing his love In words.
Here the man tolls TO earn much money
to lavish on his wife, but he never
gives her the intimate companionship
a woman Graves. lie keeps his busi-
ness troubles from her as a point OF
pride, and he buys her pearl necklaces
even when he is involved in ruin. The
French woman knows all the details OF
her husbands business, because she Is
his partner.
Economically dependent Woman OBJ
jectionable, TOO.
"Thi. attitude Of American men
has caused to grow up in America
a class Of women that is as objec-
tionsble as the economically inde-
pcndent woman-the economically
dependent woman, the woman who

not new. Covered lightly with
the dust of time one sees the
thesis Of George Sand on the individual

they are dragged forth as something

the precieuses ridicules, the femmes
savantes, whom Moliere ridiculed in his
sharp comedies. And always in the

pernicious doctrines, and Just so must

THE PLANT THAT HAWAII WOULD

In the February American Mag

new serial story, "Hempfleld," COM
ments as follows on a certain plant
introduced into Hawaii, which the
Hawaiians would now like TO be
rid OF:
II am reminded Of the description
OF remarkable plant called the Ian
tana, which I read about recently
in an interesting book on the Hawai-
ian Islands. II was brought in, a
humble and lowly shrub, TO help or
nament a garden in those delectable
isles. Finding the climate highly
agreeable and its customary enc
mics absent, il escaped from the
garden, and in wild spirit OF vag-
abondage spread out along the sun
ny roads and mountain sides, until
IL has overrun all the islands and

1000. 900 HOGS LOST

Farm and Preside, the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
o., is conducting a great campaign
OF education on the subject OF hog
cholera, for the purpose OF inform
ing farmers and helping them to re-
duce their losses from this dread
disease. According TO ID. S. Burch,
associate editor OF Farm ana Fire.
slde-the man who is writing the
articles-7.000.000 hogs died in the
United States from hog cholera in
1913. The figures are almost beyond
comprehension. You can get an
idea Of the loss by thinking in terms
OF sausage. If all the hogs that died
OF cholera in 1913 had been made in
TO Bologna sausage, weighing a
pound per foot, that sausage linked
end 10 end would have gone around
the earth at the equator six times.
Another way TO state the loss fol-
lows; Forty pounds of meat for ev-
cry family in the United States

1913.

II has been recommended by certain
uniformed nurserymen that trees be
planted about fifteen feet apart each
way. whereas they should be thirty
Ave TO forty feet apart II planted
too close. they cannot be cultivated

limbs grow upright and make picking

says that the proper distances for
the different trees are as follows:
