FRIENDSHIP THAT RINGS TRUE
Always a Condition That Requires
Thorough Understanding and
Complete Sympathy.

Some acquaintanceS will never ripen
into true friendship because the COM
mon bond of union, the thorough un-
derstanding and the complete SYM
pathy are lacking.
An acquaintance begun in child.
hood will ripen into friendship II the
children develop mutual interest in
common cause of study or pleasure IL
dissmlar tastes and unlike impulses
develop the children will grow apart.
since each Of us tends toward certain
centers Of association.
Money cannot buy us friends. 1t
often purchases apparent friendship.
but when the wealth goes that which
posed as friendship vanishes also.
Friendship must be distinguished
from that sentimental feeling which Is
so common among young girls. This
ridiculous fascination, which ex.
presses itself in extravagant terms Of
endearment, is very tickle.
As soon as it finds faults in one idol
1t transfers it's affection to another.
Z.
in human nature does not exist. The
sensible man or woman does not set
up an ideal of friendship SO high that
1t must be shattered.
Friends influence us for good or
evil. Unfortunately we can guide the
formation of our friendships only to q
very limited extent, either for our
selves or for our children.
Friendship springs up and grows
naturally; it cannot be planted at will.
Foolish friendships are often formed
in youth. 1t is useless to talk against
them, since young people always re-
sent criticism of their friends. We
must simply tolerate them and trust
to the awakening of common sense to
prove all frivolous friendships false
and unworthy.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

To Improve Cattle In Bengal.

The decadence of cattle in the prov
ince of Bengal forms the subject Of
an interesting monograph recently
published by the director of agricul-
ture for the province. The cause Of
their decadence he attributes partly
to climatic conditions, partly to the
lack of grazing grounds, and largely
to the Needless breeding policy of the
Bengal cattle owner. His chief rec
concentrations are the provision of
good bulls and the establishment of
superior milk-yielding cows, draft
bullocks and bulls. The report is IL
lustrated by most interesting collec-
tion of photographs descriptive of the
various species of cattle ranging from
the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal
from the record bull bison, measuring
IS hands 21a inches at the shoulder
and 10 hands inches at the hump,
down to the humble lineaments of the
Nadia calf which at sixteen months
measured only SO inches in height be-
hind the hump.

HCitv Healthier Than Farm"

The sanitary conditions in the
farmers homes of Massachusetts and
New York state are not what they
should be-" DR.. Harvey w. Wiley de-
clared in an address before several
hundred farmers from all over the
state in Horticultural hall, assembled
for the Ma ssachusetts state board OF
agriculturai's annual meeting.
'In New York and Massachusetts
particularly. the city is healthier
place to live than the country" Doctor
Wiley said THE cities of New York
and Massachusetts are taking better
care of their citizens than the coun.
try is, and l am inclined to believe
that the unfavorable situation In the
rural sections is due more to lack OF
sanitary conveniences and appliances
than it is to the effect OF the climate
or of a def cient diet"

Geese Could Not Skate,

A flock of more than fifty wild geese
mistook glare ice in Kabekona bay,
Leech Lake, Mimi, for placid water,
and after alighting on the smooth
surface were unable to take fight and
were held prisoners. The ice was so
slippery it prevented the geese from
taking running start in order to
fly.
The geese, falling about on their
backs, attracted four hunters, who
were unable to reach the geese on ac-
count of the dangerous thinness Of
the ice. Finally a wooden platform
was built and pushed over the ice
into the flock. The birds then Topped
aboard the platform, made run of It
and soon were flying away.

Measles Yield to Serum.

An entirely new treatment OF mea-
sles is reported by DR.. Umberto Ma
joli in II Policlinico. 1t consists in
the removal of blood serum from con-
valescents and injecting it into pa
tients in the acute stage of the dis
ease. Doctor Majoli tried it during
an epidemic of measles at Ancona,
and with great success. He gave in
jections from 5 to 20 cubic centime-
ters of a mixed serum obtained from
several convalescents. The effect was
to lower the disease and prevent COM
plications. The Medical Record notes
that similar treatment has been used
in scarlet fever since 1896.
