DECLINE OF 300 D READING ' Point Made at -Educafi'onal As:oclathui’ ‘Convention VWould Seem to 8e . Wt Taicen. 1

The central importance of reading was the theme of much of the discussion at the recent convention of -the National Educational association at Salt Lake City. Mr. Rice, state b brary clerk of Wisconsin, told how that state prepares lists of siuitable books for rural libraries, and. offers the books at 31.7 per cent. discount. It also requipes teachers to pass an examination in library training, which Mr. Rice considers more important that algebra, though the comparison seems odd. Mr. Caxton, United States commissioner of education, who followed, declared literature the most important of all school subjects, and observed that any man who will read thoughtfully four good books a -year will be a well-educated man by the time he has read 100. That may depend somewhat on the books, for not all good books reward that kind of reading, though the greatest usually do.

It is, at any rate, a kind of reading too much out of fashion nowadays, mainly because there is so much to read that it is difficult to let the mass go and concentrate on one author, one book, one page, one word. A fine old classical professor used to grow indignant at proposals to teach boys to read Greek like English; it would be more to the point, he said, if we could teach boys to read English like Greek. We can hardly expect them to forget their mother tongue for the sake of learning to pay proper attention to the details of a good book, yet there is something in this view; much of the benefit of the classics comes from being forced to pay attention to details. Such careful study is quite possible in English, but thg temptation is to skim over the surface.

CHASED AWAY THE INTRUDERS Clever Device of Young Art Student Saved Her From Probable Long . Period of Boredom. " The little art student set up her easel before Manet's “Girl With a Parrot” in the Metropolitan—her adored —and worked away industriously in absorbed quiet. Presently two young girls, about high school age, entered the gallery, giggling. “Oh, there is a stude!” said One. They drew near. The artist was busy with the head, which inclines slightly to the left. - “Gee,” whispered Two, “ain’t she the giddy thing?” o “See the boid, Madge,” giggled One. “Ain’t that a pitcher for a boodwar, though?”’ “Say, Madge,” shrilled Two, ‘“the stude might sell that pitcher if she could make the boid talk!” Through all this and more the copyist worked on. The annoyers had kept behind her, and she had not intimated that she was aware of their presence. Suddenly she turned, faced them, and dropped her brush. Smilingly she began to spell words on her fingers in the deaf mute language. - “Gee, Madge,” exclaimed One, in an awed whisper, “the stude’s deaf. Come on!”"—New York Evening Post, ¢

Getting Even With Hubby., A young married couple of Baltimore recently had a dispute concerning the biscuit served for breakfast. The husband offered certain tart observations ‘touching his wife's culinary ability, referring, of course, to the *“kind that mother used to make.” This sally moved the wife to action, with the result that the next morning she set before the complaining husband a plate of hot biscuits alleged to be the real thing. “Now you've hit it!” exclaimed he after disposing of .one biscuit. “These biscuits are exactly like the sort my ‘mother used to make. How did you happen to hit upon the recipe?” “lI am happy to inform you,” said his wife,. with glittering eyes, “that I employed oleo for butter, used coldstorage eggs, dropped a bit of alum in the flour, and adulterated the milk. Remember, swetheart, that mother lived before the enactment of the pure food law.”

New Author. Mr. Cory is greatly given to study. His wife, on the contrary, never reads at all. She does, however, occasionally take down a volume in order to show some sympathetic interest in her husband’s favorite pursuit. ' One morning, during breakfast, Mrs. Cory remarked: “I took down a book yesterday by an author named Voliv. Is he considered a good writer?” “Voliv, my dear?” querled the husband, in perplexity. “Voliv, did you say?n . . “Yes,” she replied. “T'll get it and show you.” Leaving the table, she soon returned, bringing a book which she handed him. It was a volume of Browning’s poetry and had been bound with no name on the back, simply bearing the legend, “Vol. IV.”

Igorot Cigars 15 Inches Leong. Ever smoke an Igorot cigar? asks Power.

Old man Ig. rolls the cig, and smokes it an hour; then Misses Ig. and all the little Igs. take their turns: By about the fourth day it must need a cuspidor attachment to keep it in operation.’ One smoke like this would last some. people a lifetime.

BIGGER PROFIT IN WINTER DARYING

Fall freshening cows are more profitable butterfat producers than those starting their milking year in the spring, says the Blue Valley Creamnery Institutée. In other words, winter dairying is more profitable than summer dairying. . Although spring freshening cows have the advantage of starting their milking year under ideal feed conditions provided by an abundance of luxuriant, nutritious pasture —the cheapest and best of all feeds-—such a favorable environment I{is shert lived. A few weeks later the heat of summer is npon them, Good pasture is less abundant. ' Pressing work in the field doves not permit the farmer to give his cows the attention they require. Tlies add to the dixcomfort of the cows, their milkers and the calves. As a result, cows go down in production and stay down. No method ‘of feeding has yet been found which will bring them back to good production z.ter they have once been permitted to go down. Furthermore, butterfat prices are generally lower in spring and summer than at any other time of the year.

'S EGG YIELD HEN lEL v Use of Pedigreed Males Insures Greater Yearly Returns From Flock. Good management gets eggs out of hens, but tlet’'s not forget that ihe better-bred hen haz the most egegs in her, says the Blue Valley Creumery Institute, in a list cf seasonable suggestions to poultry keepers. ' The quickest, easiest and teast expensive way to get eggs bred into the average flock is through the usc of strong, vigorous males whose motiers have trap-nest records of 250 eggs per year or better. It is now possibie for any farmer to own a pedigreed male from a trap-nésted, high-record mother and sired by a male whose mother also made a high record for egg laying because the prices of such males are only one-half to one-third as niueh as they were five years ago. The Creamery: Institute recomniends farmers using only pedigreed males ‘from trap-nested, standard-bred flocks. Such breeding flocks .can now be found in practically every state. To 'show what such males can do in add‘ing profits to the average farm flock. the Institute cites results secured on Missouri farms and tabulated from records sent the state colleges of agriculture. The fowls on two groups of farms had practically the saue care and management. On one group of farms, average quality male. wire used for breeding. On the ot er ‘group of farms, more attention was ‘paid to breeding, and on these farms, after the use of better males for three ‘seasons, the egg production per layer iwas 20 eggs more per hen. Breeding ‘alone made a difference. In a 100:hen flock, accordinz to an estimate :"by the Institute’s experts, the value’ of the better males in the Missourl test added about $5O more profit to yearly returns from the flock.

Fall freshening cows are not so bad off. They freshen :t a time when the farmer is not se busy, but that be can give them good attention. AsS a result of good feeding, they keep up their milE producticn throughout .the winter and when they are beginning to drop a little with the advancing milking pericd, the fresh gross of spring comes aloug to bolster them up. Under such favorable conditions, these cows produce more milk from one end of the year to the other. And the grester part of their production comes in fall and winter, the season of highiest butterfat prices, With the coming of unfavorahle summer condi: tions, these cows ave about ready to be dried up for their next freshening and can get alonz very well without -much attention when the farmers time is regiiived in the fleld, = The calves of thede cows reach an age in the spring when ‘hey are ready to thrive on. pasture and are old enough to take care of themselves under adverse circumstancos caused by . hot weathoer and flies. ;

The greater profitableness of fallkfreshening cows is ~shown by a study made of 2030 New York state dairy herds. In herds wilere ounly 18.7 per cent of l'i!L‘ cows freshened in the fall months of - Septemher, October, November and December, the average production’ of each cow for the vear was only 182 pounds of butterfat which gave a profit over feed cost of $47.58. In herds where T 0.7 per cent or most of the cows freshened in the fall, the average yearly production of each cow was 245 pounds of hutterfat which yielded a profit of $62.47. ahove feed cost. :

SHOWS VALUE OF COURTESY Cleveland Philosopher Believes He . Has Found the Only True Paihi Y vay to Joy. | : A wealthy Cleveland philosopher believes he has found the only true path to happiness and the secret of making people tread the path. It is appreciation and showing people that courtesy and consequent happiness pays in dollars and cents. 4 Incorporation papers have been filed for the Appreciaticn League of thoe United -States by William Vernon Backus, founder of the new cult, talosophy, which he believes is to become world popular. “Talosophy: The Art of Making Happiness Epidemic,” is the title of a little book published by Mr. Backus, setting forth the philosophy of talosophy, which is to have every “Tal” report employes in any vocation for courtesy inscead of discourtesy. v Every member of the Appreciation league is to be provided with cards blanked to permit filling in the name and business address of a clerk, conductog, postman, collector--any oue at all. Then there are spaces 'in which .to place a cross after any one or all of the words, “Attentive, Cheerful, Sympathetic, Helpful, Courteous and Polite.” “The idea is to have all of our members make out and mail these cards whenever they find an employe or other person who shows them courtesies,” explained Mr. Backus. "We ‘then notify the employer of this report and keep a complete filing record of the name of every man commended. “When an empioye has received three ‘courtesy reports’ he is entitled to a special letter from the league secretary to his employer and a badge of merit bestowed by the league.’— Cleveland . (O.) Dispatch to the New York Herald. ;

DUELING DONE AWAY WITH Once Considered an Art, and Prevalent Everywhere, Legislation : Has Abolished: it. - “Dueling in this country is almost a lost art, and once it was an art,” remarked Henry J. Weaver of Richmond, Va. at the Shoreham. "Ye¢t every little while we hear of men engaging in this method of setiling their differences. Only a few weeks ago two men in Mississippi, rivals in business and politics, fought to the death. It was not an unusual thing in this enlightened capital for men to fight dnels before and immediately after the war. : . *1 was a resident here in the seventies, when John P. Young, then the editor of a morning newspaper here and a prominent lawyer, made all arrangements for a duel on the historic Bladensburg dueling grounds. The pringipals. had gone so far as to appoint their seconds, and it is interest~ ing to note that the second of ona oicghe men was then an assistany secretary of state, which shows that there was no great prejudice against dueling. The duel was prevented at the last mement. : “It was not until the duel between Page McCarty and Mordecai, in Richmond, in which the latter was killed, and McCarty badly wounded, that the legislatures of nearly every state in the Union passed laws against dueling. The McCarty-Mordecai affair was ‘the cause of the almost universal ac‘tion of the states against dueling, and 1 think there is not a state now wherein dueling is not forbidden by statute. But even laws cannot prevent occasional duels, and I presume never will."—Washington Hufld ‘
