Does the fact that there are more than J. 00,000 bachelors in Texas prove that Texas girls are getting more critical, or that the bachelors are getting Wiser?

Mr. Taft says their marriage is not necessary to success. Such distinguished advice will keep the girls until the right man happens along. Chorus girls got after Jack Binns and proposed to kiss him, but the hero of the Republic, remembering the Hobeon, said that he would take a few long distance kisses sent by wireless. Otherwise, nothing doing. Foiled! ■*. . Plans are making, to bring twenty thousand Italian earthquake-sufferers to America and put them on a tract of land in Manatee County, Florida, owned in part by an Italian duke. This is a splendid way to give relief to the Sufferers, if the immigration laws make It possible. Reports of death and injuries' on last Fourth of July have been collected by |the Journal of the American Medical Association. The figures, which nevertheless are not complete, show a hundred and sixty-three deaths in the country and more than five thousand injuries from explosives. Remind yourself of this faction July 1, 1909. . A part of the money appropriated by Congress for the relief of Italy is to be used'to build houses With American timber, and already the materials for> several hundred frame buildings have been shipped to Sicily. Food and clothing bring relief and comfort for the moment. Houses are a permanent necessity, and the two or three thousand which it is proposed to send will start the rebuilding of the fallen towns, But, in the wreck of the Maine there are—there were—the bodies of more than three-scoTe American sailors. That ? they should for all these years be thus abandoned and apparently forgotten by the gMernment and people of the United States is indeed, as Mr. Magoon bluntly declares, “a national reproach and an International scandal.” Every sentiment of respect for the dead, of gratitude for their service and their sacrifice, and of regard for our national demands that we shall “Remember the Maine” at this belated date as much as we did in the hot blood of 1898. A movement is on foot to. abolish capital punishment in Illinois, and its advocates insist that fear of the death penalty is no deterrent to crime. For years the presidents of France have commuted every death warrant -to life imprisonment. As a result murder has grown so common that the recent guillotining of the four Pollet- murderers and the slayer of Mr. and Mrs. Donal In ppblic was witnessed by vast crowds, which applauded the executions. That abolition of the death penalty removes a ctoeck on would-be slayers is nowhere more evident than in the United States, Where maudlin sentiment has made

murder the one crime for which a man Is least likely to be convicted, even when he commits it France and Germany have only 12 per cent as many murders as the United States. Germany convicts nine out of ten accused. France two out of three, England more than 50 per cent, and Italy, with the highest murder record in Europe, convicted last year 2,805 out of 8,606. The United States executes barely 1 per cent of its slayers, and not 10 per cent are even imprisoned. The unwritten law and other causes have apparently made murder one of our protected industries ; although there~~~seems no equivocation or opening for misconstruction in the simple words of the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” This hardly seems a time for Illinois to remove any penalty that may influence the would-be murderer to withhold his hand. . Why the wives and husbands of loafers and drunkards sentenced to terms in correctional institutions should suffer for the sins of their “lords and masters” is a question that has often been discussed at penalogical and reform conferences. Occasionally It is suggested that when the State sentences a man to hard labor or to labor of any profitable kind part of his supposed earnings should be paid to those dependent on him for support. In the District of Columbia, under a new statute against family desertion and non-support, the payment of “wages” to families of prisoners has befen very successfully tried. The amount Is fixed by the statute at 50 cents a day, and the prisoners are supposed to earn it and more by taking care of Rock Creek Park and rendering other service to the district. It is the testimony of the judge who has been administering the law that the provision in question has worked admirably as a preventive of unmerited misery, a form of discipline and a deterrent of vice and shiftlessness. Offenders are punished •promptly, whereas under the ordinary plan courts are greatly tempted to take chances and give prisoners opportunities which they neglect or abuse. Moreover, any man with a little horse sense, when he realizes that he could earn three times as much for his family and home in free industry as is paid to his dependents by the community which keeps him a prisoner, makes an effort to mend bls ways, and under the law the court has the power to release him when satisfied that he would “stay reformed” and go to work in peace and decency. These facts were brought to the attention of a House committee which was about to strike out an Item appropriating a small sum for the wages fund of prisoners’ families. The committee had taken the view that the law was enabling dead .beats to shirk their duties and saddle the cost of family maintenance on the community. As a matter of fact, where wages are not paid the public and private relief agen ? cles bear the burden of pauperism and dependence created by imprisonment for non-support, habitual drunkenness and other offenses, and there is no economy In the plan. And under proper administration prisoners can easily be made to earn the wages paid to their families, plus the cost of their own board, shelter and other necessaries or conveniences. The tlse of False Hair. False hair was first regularly worn In England by Queen Elizabeth, who had upward of 50 - wigs of different kinds for her private use. After her death a few women adopted the French fashion of wearing wigs; but it was not until the restoration that wigs, or, more correctly speaking, periwigs, came to be extensively worn by the sterner sex. These were introduced in the court of Louis XIV., where a natural head of hair was not considered sufficiently luxuriant for the artificial tastes pf the times. The term “periwig” is a corruption of the French perruque. Wigs were originally adopted, not as a remedy for baldness, but in the interest of personal cleanliness. The laws of ancient Egypt compelled all males to shave the head and beard. This explains why turbans were not worn by the Egyptians, the bushy artificial hair being regarded as a sufficient protection against the heat of the sun. The Romans, on the contrary, wore wigs because they were naturally bald. John in Blackface. Mrs. Newed —John I John! John I Come down quick I Here’s a fiendish looking negro tramp In the house.

Oleomargarine Versus Butter. Oleomargarine is a perfectly legitimate product, and when made of good material and under sanitary conditions, rreatly to be preferred to poor butter. The only “kick” coming here from the consumer is when oleomargarine, be it jver so good, masquerades under the prise of butter and is sold at the same price. In Illinois most drastic laws have recently been passed relating to the sanitary condition of butterine and tee cream factories. The Worcester (Mass.) Board of Trade goes still further in its crusade tor sanitary surroundings for the manufacture of ice cream, when it says: •All establishments in which icecream is manufactured shall be equipped with facilities for the proper cleansing of the hands of the operatives, and all persons immediately before engaging in,, the mixing of the ingredients entering into the composition of ice cream or Bs subsequent 'freezing and f handling shall thoroughly wash his or her hands md keep them cleanly during such manufacture and handling. All such pet sons shall be dressed in £lean outer garments while engaged in such manufacture and handling." Here is surely a move in the right direction which every woman will indorse. Pruning Limbs. To ensure rapid healing in the plant after pruning it is necessary that all wounds should be left smooth. If it is necessary ,to use a saw in removing a large limb the cut surface should be left smooth, and clean, particularly around the edges. The sharper the saw the cleaner will the cut be and this should in turn be made smoother by the use of a pruning knife or a sharp chisel, as the healing process starts quicker and progresses more rapidly when this precaution is bbserved. It -frequently happens that in order to obtain the best results in removing large branches, two cuts should be made. The limb may be sawed off 18 inches or 2 feet above the point of its origin in arder to prevent splitting down and; tearing off n considerable part of the bark. After the weight of the limb ! has been lessened by cutting away the f n I Ij HINT ON PRUNING. main part a second cut can be made and the stub held in position until the cut is completed. The evil results of splitting can frequently be overcome by cutting first on the under side of the limb and then on the upper side as shown in the illustration. Batter from Whey At Rodman Village; Jefferson Councy, New York, the St. Lawrence Dairy Products Company has erected a plant for the manufacture of butter from whey, and about twenty-five factories •ire supplying it with separator cream taken from whey. The butter made is said to be equal to best creamery butter. The loss of butter-fat in cheesemaking has long troubled factorymen. It being found impossible to incorporate ill the fat in the cheese. The new system appears to have solved the question, and patrons are - netting about 2%c additional per 100 pounds from this source. The. whey is said to be worth as much for feeding as before, ind does not sour as soon, being run through the separator at a higher temperature than under the old method, retarding the action of lactic acid. About four pounds of butter is obtained from 1,000 pounds of whey. Airing the Eggs. Many beginners do not understand why the eggs in the incubator should not be turned or aired after the eighteenth day. The reason is that at this time the chicks are getting ready to ‘pip” the shells, and they shape themselves around so as to pip on the upoer side of the shell first. Should the eggs be moved when the chicks are about to hatch the bill may be torn. The fluid will naturally flow to the opening find dry them there, holding the chick’s head tight. It does not ■ e long to shut off life in this condi- • u._ The Quail. The farmer should regard the quail as one of his most valuable assets. He is the gleaner who never reaps, who guards the growing crops, who glories □ver a bounteous yield, yet is content to watch and wait for those lost grains which fall to him by right. These birds are good stubble feeders; gathering in weed seed, waste grain and insects. They also eat a few wild berries, rose tips and the like. Included in their diet of animal food are large numbers of ill-tasting insects that are usually rejected by other birds. Transplantins Trees. In transplanting old trees it is desirable to save all possible roots and to have these disturbed as little as pos- ■ « *‘ ’ • • • . • .. ■■■ *

sible. In the case of young fruit trees, however, good growth may be secured if the roots are well cut back. One ; may not fear then to cut away all broken, mangled, dried or dead parts of the root system in setting young trees. In fact, a tree is better off without such dead parts. If the trees have been so handled that all main roots and small fibrous ones are fresh, if they show no signs of having dried out and especially if the cuts show healing or if new rootlets are beginning to start there will be little need of pruning the roots at the time of setting. Cement Hog Wallow. A recent introduction in several up-to-date farm yards are cement hog wallows. They are supplied periodically with fresh water and the approaches are made by pounding cobble stones into the earth to prevent mud mixing in wfith the water. Sometimes lice remedies of an oily nature are poured ih the wallow with the water. Being lighter, of course, the antiseptic stuff floats and the hogs can’t go in without getting an oily coating all over them. This is objectionable, unless the remedy is harmless to the hog, inside as well as out.because hogs will sometimes drink from the wallow; but even this is taken advantage of by using lice killers. —Journal of Agriculture.

Cfeiisus of Fowls. s According to the hist census, there are 2X3.598.005 chickens of Laying age ' in -the United States. These are val- • ued at $70,000,000, and- the eggs they j lay would, if divided, allow 203 eggs annually to every person—man, woman and child—-in the United States. The value of all fowls, $58,800,000, would entitle' every person in the country to $1.12 if they were sold and the proceeds divided. All the weight ol the animal products exported —the pork, beef, tallow, ham, bacon and sausage—weigh 846,860 tons, while the | weight of eggs laid yearly tips the . scales at 970,363 tons. Bags with X-Ray Eyes. A German scientist has discovered that many insects, such as moths and butterflies.) have X-ray sight. This means that the eyes of these insects can see with something similar to the X-rays objects invisible to human eyes unless aided by a fluoroscope. If ordinary sunlight has enough of the X-rays in it for the butterflies to see clearly, the world must be a strange sight to them. This scientist believes that they can see through the clothes and flesh of human beings and behold us walking about in our skeletons clad in a translucent covering of flesh. Cows and Farm Fertility. Prof. E. B. Voorhees of the New Jersey Experiment Station has figured I it out that a single well-fed cow will produce in a year 107 pounds of nitro- , gen, 87 pounds of phosphoric acid and about 87 pounds of potash. At this rate it is easy to see why dairy cows are such a powerful factor 'in increasing the fertility of the farm, when the manure is properly cared for.
