Conservative leaders in the rcd
Grafton have pounded away on the
radical question for several months,
insisting on a more determined
stand by the controlling body. but
reports of increasing unemploy-
ment have now brought that sub
ject into a position OF equal i'm
portance.
Although leaders were reticent
today, it developed that there was
q feeling among certain members
of the council that it should deal
emphaticaliy with the attempts OF
radicals to bore from within. They
were said to feel that conservatism
must characterize labor's leader

For the house apportionment
there is greater opportunity for as
suting a republican thirds ma
jority even in adverse years, for
the same shift in population and
changes in county lines operate ad-

without resort to a gerrymander.
Should the republican majority be
altruistic enough TO give the demo-

every possible way, it would still
be impractical to figure out moro

SHAFT IS WELL PROTECTED
Washington Monument Made Immune From Lightning by Scheme That
 Has Proved It's Worth.

The apex of the Washington monu- ment Is surrounded with parallel bands. The bands are studded with golden points. The bands are made of gold-plated iron a foot wide, and the points are spaced foot from one another.
 According to the original plan of the monument it was protected from lightning by an aluminium tip that was connected with the metal framework of the elevator. During the very first summer after the monument was com pleted, however, 1t was struck twice, and a piece of stone was clipped from the top.
 Experts from all the scientific de- partments of the government were called on to contrive a plan for the better protection of the shaft They agreed on a number of iron bands, heavily galvanized and gold plated, to prevent rusting.
 The bands are connected with the aluminium point of the monument, and the framework of the elevator, and at the base iron cables lead the electric ity into a deep well, where 1t harm lessly expends its force. The protec- ton has proved to be perfect.

LONG A PLACE OF WORSHIP
Before the Christian Era Romans Hon. ored Their Gods on the Moun- tain of Monserrat

Monserrat. the famous shrine in the Spanish province Of Barcelona, ihus- trates the effect which high mountains have on men. When you climb to the top of a high mountain you feel wor- shfpful and ut peace with the universe.
 Monserrat is an outlying spur of the Pyrennees which stands all alone, splendidly dominating rich plain. It is one of the most ancient and famous Of Catholic shrines. According to legend, many centuries ago an image Of the Virgin was found at the top of the mountain, and it was impossible to move the image. Thus 1t was shown to men that they should build a shrine on Monserrat.
 In medieval times 1t was a shrine of unexcelled beauty and splendor. An emperor came here to kneel and to cover the great Byzantine church with gold. queen walked up the noun tain barefoot. The great and the learned of all the Christian world gathered at Monserrat. Its greatness came to an end in the nineteenth cen- tury when the French sacked the shrine and carried away the orna- ments.
 Now the church has been rebuilt and offers free lodging to the pilgrims who come there still, but the fame and splendor of the place have shrunk. Yet Monserrat will always be a shrine. Before Christ the Romans had tenn pie Of Venus there and before that more than likely savages worshiped their gods on the mountain top
 Worship vertically grows in the soil of Monserrat.

How to Avoid Jar Breakage

Do not place cold jars, either fill ed or thrilled, in hot water.
 Do not place hot jars in cold wa ter.
 Do not overpack jars which are to be processed. Some products like corn, pumpkin, peas, lima beans, and sweet potatoes, swell in processing. Pack jar only to within one-half inch of top.
 Do not allow draft of cold air to strike jars when they are removed from the canner.
 The wire bail should not fit too tightly or the jar will break when the lever is forced down.
 All new jars should be tempered before using. To do it, put them in cold water sufficient to cover them and bring to a boil.-United States department of agriculture.

Priceless opportunities belong to a mother to give to the baby, with his whole life before him, the true foun- dations of character and chances of future happiness and greatness. So the first thing a wise woman does Is to reason the matter out, deciding on method of action which can be pursued with as little deviation as possible Preparation is needed, for just as love does not bestow a mysterious instinct as to the proper physical treatment of d baby, so affection alone will not prove a sufficient guide or teacher in the matter of character training. One has to cultivate the power of restrain ing impulse, of infinite patience and infinite self-control and firm grasp of those principles which underlie the for nation of character. By possessing these powers herself, the mother S able to direct a child's conduct and ,to suggest motives to him at time whep his impulses are natural and his ideas vet uniformed, when he will learn lit erally unconsciously.

+ATT0olNG AS A FINE ART
it Reached its Highest oeveiopmsnt Tn the Marquesss Islands of the
 South SeaA

Tnttooing is an art SO old that itH origin Is lost to historical records, having been practiced when the cave men went out to club their fellows. In the Marquesas islands, the most distant and most mysterious of South sea archipelagos, tattooing reached It's highest development and there 1t was the most beautiful form of art known.
 For a man in the Marquesas to lack the tattoed stars of terror upon his face and to have a bare countenance upon his face was to be a poltroon and despised by the whole tribe. Frederick O'Brien says In the Century that to achieve a fairly complete picture on one's body meant many months of in- tense suffering and the expenditure of much wealth. aaC
 When white men were cast by ship wreck in the islands of the far Paci- fic or fled from duty on whalers or warships and sought to stay among the Marquesans they acceded to the hon. ored customs of their hosts and adopt ed their facial adornment. Once the curious ink of the tsttooer has gotten into the skin it is there forever and can never be erased, like the pits of smallpox. The white men, therefore, of Europe and America never again returned to their old homes after set tling among these Marquesans and having their faces tattooed

OUR FARMERS CORNER

disturbing any peace that may he present and putting the land and alfalfa in condition for good grow tn of succeeding crops.
 Cut the alfalfa close to the ground and clean, especially along the ditch, banks, borders, and turning rows, as we'll as in the main part of the field.
 Cut the alfalfa earlier than. is the general rule. The proper time is when it is just coming in bloom or is one-tenth in bloom. Watch for caterpillars in the early spring crop, and if many are observed and are about grown, cut the hay a few days before it is in bloom, and thus save the next and future crops.
 A minimum amount of damage occurs in fields that are systemati- cally pastured all or part of the time.
 Excessive moisture is conducive to a diseased condition of the larvae, and this one fact is of the greatest importance in control. When worms begin to appear in numbers, if pos sible supply this moisture by irriga- tion and thus assist nature to des- troy the worms.

Spraying Grapes for Black Rot

Even if you have but one or two grapevines, spray them with bor- deaux, either homemade, 4-4-50, or any of the commercial brads paste or powdered. Spray them just after the fruit forms and at intervals of 10 days or two weeks until full grown. Add 1 1-2 pounds of arsen- ate of lead powder in the first spray to control rose chafer.
 Spray the foliage as we'll as the fruit during the early part of the summer, later it does not make so much difference, but for best results cover the entire vine.
 Small lots of bordeaux may be made by dissolving one ounce of copper sulphate in three pints of water, slaking an ounce of lime in little hot water. Then dilute to three pints, stir we'll and pour the two solutions into a third utensil at the same time. Use either wood, fiber, crockery or glass containers as the copper sulphate solution acts upon metal.

Costs Little to Keep Geese
 and Ducks on General Farms

and Ducks on General Farms
 Geese touch Hanks with chickens in utilizing waste grain about the stables and feeding pens. In larg- CT measure than chickens or any other kind of poultry, they are graz ing stock, taking their living in large part from the ordinary grasses of the pastures. When the facts are taken into consideration that the demand for geese is strong, steady, and extended over practically the whole year, not confined to certain holiday seasons, as the demand for turkeys largely is, and that their value as egg producers is consider able, the importance of a few geese on a general farm becomes apparent.
 Geese, in common with ducks, are utilizers of forms of feed confined to ponds and streams, but they are in that particular excelled by ducks. On farms where ponds or streams are available ducks will convert in- to meat and eggs great quantities of water insects and various aquatic forms that would not be utilized by any other kind of poultry. Ducks, while they consume much grass and other green stuff, are more partial to animal feeds and are very ener- getic in patroling the branches, creeks, and ponds as sources of food supply, say poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. Where conditions are favorable they will provide for their own food needs in measure that will make them highly profitable.

Early Irish History.

In the earliest time of which .theEe is any record, Ireland was inhahitedi by tribes of the great Celtic family, to which belonged the ancient BfIt- ons of the larger island, and theAGdns ot the country now known as France. Each tribe had it's chief, and after a time a supreme monarch came tp the front. One of the mOst> famous of these was Brian, who overthrew, 1le, invading Danes in the battle. of fCloR- tarf, fought in the year 1014 ffear' Dnh' Hn. He was slain in his tent at the close of the fight. After his death the supreme monarchy was often in complete abeyance. misrule and cap- archy widely prevailedsand the ancient form of society was largely brol1en- up It is said that Roderick oConndf, son of Turlough. was the last of 'thesmons archs of Celtic Ireland. aeEEom that time the influence of Anglo Normars increased.

TO MAKE AND HOLD FRIENDS.
knaek That Can Be Acquired by Most People, and is We'll Worth
 the Having.

Few people are naturally blessed with the happy faculty of making friends easily. With most people 1t is more or less an acquired art. If you wish to acquire this art, don't be discouraged at the apparent ease with which some of your friends seem to "get on" with everybody. They've only learned a few more of the tricks of the trade" go to speak, than you have. That's all. The main point is that they have learned them. A person who would have friends must show himself friendly. Just you try 1t and see if 1t doesn't act like 6 charm.
 Half the battle is to meet people as if it may be taken for granted that they are glad to see you, and that you are glad to see them. Nine cases out of ten if you are genuinely glad to see them apd show 1t they will be glad to see yon.
 Don't always expect the other per son to make the advances if there Is no good reason why you shouldn't make them. Sometimes the very per sons who seem most '.unapproacha- ble" turn out to be quite willing to be friendly if they are approached in the right way. Look for the good In peo- pie, always, and you will be very sure to find 1t. T~sIisE.s;.

..> Effect of the Moon on Tides.

The moon, often aided by the, sun; pulls up the tide. It draws every ob- iect on the earth to it, but only the water, which is highly mobile, cain readily respond. There are two tidal waves on earth, one beneath the mOonS and one directly opposite on the othef' side. The cause of the tides on'the op- posite face is interesting. The moon pulls the earth away from the water, and lets a bulge of 1t hang partly re- leased from the earth's control.

Spraying Will Control
 The Potato Blight

AhS
 Early and late blights which may destroy potatoes can be controlled by spraying with bordeaux, accord ing to the Ohio station; in addition to the mixture, insecticides may be added, thus destroying the insect pests of the potato.
 To spray one acre of potatoes 75 gallons of the mixture is recom-. mended. It is made by dissolving six pounds of blue vitrol Cooper sulphate) in warm water in a wood 'en barrel. Stake six pounds of quick lime by adding 8 little water slowly Dilute both mixtures to six gallons each. These should then be added to 63 gallons of water, stirring the mixture constantly. This will spray an acre, but proportionate amounts can be made for smaller gardens.
