always dropped these into the gen.

WHAT is YOUR WIFE WORTHY
Wisconsin Professor Has Tried 70
Estimate Uxorial Value In
Dollars and Gents.

A Wisconsin professor Of home eco
Monies has made an exact estimate
of what q wife il worth to her hus-
band In dollars and cents, says the
Indianapolis Star. It Is asserted that
she should be credited with earning
the difference between the cost Of raw
material and the finished product that
she turns out
Just what this Is he can learn BY
estimating food items; for example.
By noting the difference between the
cost of a barrel of -four and the cost
of bakers loaves made from the con-
tents of such q barrel. A more direct
method, however, is by hiring house
keeper to do the cooking and dress
making and other labors performed
by the wife. Unfortunately this is
seldom done until the wife has gone
to heaven, SO that she fails to bene-
fit by the husbands discovery.
There is reason to believe, however,
that no wife who holds herself in
due respect will accept this so-called
scientific estimate of her value to the
family. She knows very well that she
is worth more in actual money than
the difference between the raw mate
rails and the finished products and
that IL she were paid what she really
earns, her compensation would include
that OF teacher, nurse. seamstress
Iaundresa cook. ,housemaid and gen.
eral utility person.
OF course, few husbands can afford
to put the services of their wives on
this purely commercial basis, and un.
fortunately, few wives have any
thought of demanding it. The most of
them, there is reason to believe, are
entirely satisfied when they are sure
that their husbands like him of whom
Solomon wrote, value them far above
rubies-so far that no thought OF
gross commercialism is involved.

Women Are Barred.

Women are barred from entering the
business of swordmakers in Japan.
Not only is prayer offered up before
the work begins, but various religious
rites peculiar to the Japanese are per-
formed in order that the swords, when
finally completed. may be said to have
been well and truly made. Even the
final processes of polishing and sharp
ening are characterized by certain re-
ligious ceremonies, and finally the
weapons are offered, one by one, to
the sword god to be blessed. The cere-
mony consists in placing the swords
in front of the goddess of the Shintos
on the wall. with an offering of sake,
rice and sweetmeats, after which
prayer scrolls are read and blessing
upon the work is invoked.
