MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
The question ot divorces has been
under careful consideration for many
centuries The Pharisees tempted
Christ by asking hts Judgment on the
Mosaic law of divorcement and re-
ceived an answer direct and funda-
mental It has been a serious a con-
tinuous a vexatious ' question from
time Immemorial says Newark News
All governments clerical and civil
have tried to settle It and have failed
Our own government and each of the
states and all the courts - have for
many years been trying to establish
uniform divorce laws and to discour-
age divorces as much as possible
Tet they are Increasing instead of
diminishing A few denominations
will not tolerate divorces but the civil
laws recognize them From the point
of view of the latter the innocent
party to divorce proceedings Is guilty
of no offense ought not to be held In
dishonor and should be permitted to
marry again It is the abuse of the
divorce laws by Immoral unconscion-
able undesirable citizens that has
brought the most serious dishonor
upon the dissolution of the marriage
contract The Reformed synod’s atti-
tude with reference to Innocent
parties in necessary divorce proceed-
ings accords with general public senti-
ment' What should be done to the
guilty ones is yet under discussion
The bill advocated by the Audubon
societies of the state of New York
forbidding the sale within this state
of the plumage of any wild bird which
Is protected within New York has
passed the legislature and Is awaiting
the governor’s signature We trust It
will receive his approval says Roches-
ter Herald For many years the Audu-
bon societies have labored unceasingly
to educate the people of this state to
the economic as well as the senti-
mental value of wild bird life Their
progress has been very slow The rural
communities of the state even the
fruit-raising sections of western New
York have been afflicted with almost
Incredible Ignorance of the usefulness
of birds Farmers’ boys often rob
birds’ nests of their eggs and amuse
themselves by aiming their newly ac-
quired firearms at birds of every kind
It Is seldom that a word of censure is
heard from the male parent whose
property the young mischief-maker is
hastening to destroy
i A porous plaster worth $50 Is some-
thing of a novelty in the curative
agency line A druggist in Middle-
town N Y Is the possessor of this
valuable article and he is about to
send It to the treasury department at
Washington to be redeemed The
worthy druggist was troubled with a
lame back and had his wife apply the
plaster The lady did not notice a $50
'bill which her husband had placed on
!a dresser In their room and the note
was Btlcking to the plaster when the
latter was put where it might do the
most good There was much mystery
suid a long hunt before the bill was
ilocated but now plaster bill and all
will be sent to the government offi-
cials and "something just as - good”
will be substituted
j A Chicago doctor has arranged to
give the dogs a drink this summer
iHe has bought a thousand two-quart
Ibaains and the city council has al-
jlowed him to distribute them about
the city In front of stores and houses
and the tenants will be expectetLio
see that they are kept filled with wa-
ter for the benefit of the dogs The
doctor got the notion from the City of
'Mexico where storekeepers are re-
quired to keep such basins at their
doors the idea is a good one and
should reduce the number of mad
dog scares In Chicago this summer
There will be less hydrophobia If the
dogs can get water whenever they
want It
Connecticut Is traditionally the land
of steady habits and perhaps a "whop-
per’’ of a fish story coming from that
quarter will get more credence than it
It originated In a more sinful source
'Anyway a resident of Wlnsted states
that he found a fish In his well and
when he hooked It he discovered that
it was a trout so large that the well
urb had to be removed before the fish
could be hauled out The saving grace
of this fish tale Is that the narrator
does not attempt to give the weight of
the monster catch
Scientists announce the production
of edible roses And are American
beauties going to be cheaper than
pigs’ feet?
In spite ot their irantlc efforts to
keep apart Peru and Ecuador are al-
lowed to go on making faces at one

IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
Influence of Christian Teachings
Shown In the Changed Condi-
tions Found There
"The public conscience is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect of pub-
lic morality Last week I was In-
vited to take part in a meeting or-
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church
but who are sincerely desirous of as-
sisting In the reformation of their
countrymen Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league and
with this In mind they called a public
meeting which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style approving ot a campaign against
the gambling vice Members ot the
Chinese Young Men's Christian asso-
ciation were asked to assist In the
meeting and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi-
nese and the chief organizer of the
movement Is one of the government
education Inspectors for the provinces
of Kiangsu and 'Klangsi A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin
solo a Chinese secretary of the Young
Mens’ Christian association rendered
two cornet solos and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that it
wsb scarcely possible'Yo realize how
tremendous a reformation In the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed Twenty
years even ten years ago such a
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility Today we
have a class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity In their midst the Ideals
which they are desirous of Impressing
upon their countrymen”
How She Conciliated Them
Fllmer — How did it happen that
these five men who were so angry

Screeners — It was raining like fury

vited them to take shelter with her

Rivers — A secret society? Surely
that’s a misnomer women don’t know
how to keep secrets
Banks — But they know how to tell

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD
LIGHT AND VENTILATION
One of Common Errors in Building Stables Is Failure to
Provide Windows and Ventilators In
Sufficient Numbers
One of the common errors in build-
ing stables is to fall to provide win-
dows and ventilators In sufficient num-
bers In the cheaper barns It is the
tight especially that is usually left out
ot tho calculation This Is one of the
most serious mistakes when we stop
to think of how cheap light really Is
and how valuable It is as a germi-
cide Many of the diseases of our live
stock may be attributed to germs Tu-
berculosis is caused by specific germs
The myriads of -germs that escape
from tubercular animals confined in
a barn are disseminated through the
stables and sunlight Is a factor In the
destruction ot these germs In fact
light destroys much germ life Aside
from the health standpoint good light
In the stables makes work more pleas-
ant and provides greater comfort for
the farm animals
Why not have the barn as light as
the parlors of the farm bouse? It
Self-Regulating
costs but a few dollars more if the
windows are provided when the build-
ing is being constructed Judgment
however should be exercised In put-
ting In windows In the right place
A uniform light should be provided in
all parts of the stable
The furnishing of light is an Impor-
tant cue In the construction of any
farm building and It is not hard to ob-
tain if a little forethought Is exer-
cised However with ventilation It Is
different because considerable plan-
ning must be required when building
to Insure an ample supply of fresh
air in the barn at all seasons of the
year It is Important to have fresh
air in the barn during cold weather
and at the samo time avoid draughts
VARIETIES OF
TAME GRASSES
Careful Study Will DiBcIoae Fact
That Flocks and Herds Thrive "
Better on Mixture Than on
One Kind
(By 8 M MILLER)
There Is no one matter connected
with good farm management that la
more deserving of more careful atten-
tion than the growing of tame grasses
and the maintaining of the productive
capacity of our permanent pasture
land The successful grass grower
needs to have a practical understand-
ing of all the species of tame grasses
that we grow and cultivate on our
farms ss well as a knowledge of their
requirements and conditions that are
essential to their growth Much of
tbe success and many times all of tbe
profits of our farms are directly de-
pendent upon the amouift and quality
of hay and forage produced
A cause of the Inferiority of our
meadow lands is the fact that they
are supporting numberless useless
weeds
If we could rid our meadows of
this pest it would add millions of dol-
lars to'' the pockets of our farmers
How can It be done? By thorough till-
age? By the use of more grass seed?
Most emphatically no That would
be In direct opposition to the laws of
nature
We may prepare the soil In the
best possible manner and sow on
clover and timothy so thick that the
grass will come up as thick as the
hair on a dog and in some places we
will yet find that tbe young plants
will die out and their places be filled
with noxious weeds
These Interspaces may be filled ever
so often with fresh seed and the re-
suit will be similar which is conclu-
sive evidence that every soli has a
capacity for supporting a certain num-
ber of one kind of plants and It will
produce no more than that number of
that variety no matter how well It is
tilled or how many are germinated on
that particular soil
When we fill these Interspaces be-
tween the plants with another specie

In the summer windows and door
may be left open but lu the winter
time It Is quite different Inlet pipes
for fresh air qbould be constructed as
well as proper outlets for carrying off
odors and bad air
Veutllators should be distributed
about the barn Instead of relying upon
one cr two large ones far apart Tbe
Idea should be to equalize the venti-
lation so that the entire stable admits
of proper ventilation
Statistics show that the amount of
pure air breathed by different ani-
mals during a period ot 21 hours in
order to supply oxygen needed Is as
follows: The horse requires 8401 co-
ble feet the cow 2804 cubic feet the
pig 110$ cubic feet Thus it will seem
that tbe horse will draw Into and
force out of his lungs each hour on
an average 142 cubic feet of air the
cow 117 cubic feet the pig 46 cubic
feet the sheep 30 cubic feet the hen
12 cubic feet It is therefore very
Stable Ventilator
Important that our ventilation in our
modern farm buildings should be pro-
vided with plenty of freBh air at all
times In order to contribute to the
health of the live stock
With the outlet pipes 11 Is not nec-
essary to have more than one or two
— often one is sufficient depending of
course upon the size of the barn
As on easy way out of the diffi-
culty we would suggest to our read-
ers that they make a ground plan of
their buildings giving exact dimen-
sions as to height width length of
building and submit It to manufac-
turers of ventilating apparatus and
ask for an estimate on the coBt of In-
stalling a perfect ventilating sys-
tem of grass a certain lot of its plants
will grow and the rest will die soon
after they have germinated
The ones that grow will not Inter-
fere with the other varieties and the
yield will be Increased
Practical experience has shown us
that any soil will be more certain tox
yield larger and better crops of for-
age and hay when It is seeded with
mixed grasses than when Bown to
clover and timothy alone
Our flocks and herds will thrive
better when fed on mixed grasses
(no matter whether In a green con-
dition or cured for hay) than they
will when fed on any one or two va-
rieties sowed alone no matter how
nutritious these grasses may be
We will find It In every way as Im-
portant to balance our forage rations
as it Is the grain rations If we obtain
the best results from s minimum
amount ot feed '
Run ths Separator Right
One way to produce a good sepa-
rator cream is to keep a clean ma-
chine Sunshine and fresh air are Impor-
tant In keeping the separator pure and

The salvation of the dairy industry
has been due In a number of Instances
to the hand separator
" The separator gives every farmer
who la within reach of the railroad
station the advantage of a creamery

Soil for Fruit
If the soil is very fertile or espe-
cially rich In nitrogen the wood pro-
ducing functions tend to crowd out' the
fruit producing functions or If the soil

Anne Game’s Beau
By COEA A N SORNSEN M
"Girls look quick!"’ Gall sprang
from her chair and ran to the window
“Isn’t that Anne Gage going byT It
is as I live Anne! Anne!” she
called thumping upon the window
with nil her might Then she flew to
the front door and flung It wide open
Anne turned and her absorbed face
brightened with a smile She had not
before been aware that her attention
was being demanded And Anne was
always so quick to hear and see!
"Oh le that you Gall?’1 she ex-
claimed She came slowly up tbe
steps hold out her hand There
was a gentle abstraction In ber man-
ner a dreaminess In ber face a con-
scious reserve in her voice that Gall
noticed without being able to define
and which was new to her Certainly
Anne’s three months of absence bad
changed her perceptibly
"I’m so glad to see you” Gall said'
kissing her a little breathlessly "I
did not look for you so soon When
did you come?”
"Ob we came yesterday father and
I But It Is no sooner than we ex-
pected to come” She followed Gail
Into the parlor where Fanny Leal
who was always cold and Hilda
Mains who could never be happy at
any distance from Fanny were hover-
ing over the radiator and eagerly
awaiting her entrance
“Oh Acne!” They both kissed her
rapturously '
"And you wrote me only two letters
in all those three months” Fanny re-
minded her reproachfully
"You wrote me only once Anne”
Hilda took up the complaint "And
Gall says you' treated ber almost as
badly Such snippy letters too! Noth-
ing to them but beginning and end-
ing” “Well cow! By the beginning you
knew I was' alive and well and by
the ending you knew t loved you In
the same old way Wbat more would
you haver Anne parried laughingly
sitting down comfortably and loosen-
ing her furs
“Lots more” Hilda grumbled “We
wanted to know aboi your good times
and your beaux for surely you must
have had both No girl could spend
three months at a Georgia winter re-
sort without them"
Anne was slowly pulling off her
gloves while she studied a water color
upon the opposite wall Yet she did
not seem to see the picture so much
as something far beyond 1L
“Oh beaux and good times” she
aid “Yes I suppose I bad as many
ot both ae were good for me” She
was fumbling at her left glove It
yielded suddenly and slipped from ber
hand -
‘‘Anne!’ the three girls cried In one
breath starting Anne looked down
at her gleaming new ring with a flush
nd smile
And you never told us!"
“It happened just before I came
away” she explained shyly
“And you came away to get ready
to be married! Qlrls our Anne!”
Fanhy turned and awestruck faced
one and then tbe other There was a
moment’s tense silence then they fell
upon her and kissed her
“I am sorry — I mean I’m so happy”
Gall stammered “But Anne you! I
never dreamed of such a thing after
you’d been about so much and had
so many chances you wouldn’t take
right here Id this town too Oh
Anne I”
“Well?” Anne turned the ring upon
her finger lovingly
“Well I should say!” Hilda said
Then the three sat down and stared
at her atf If she suddenly had been
transformed Into a new being'
"Is your father pleased?" demand-
ed Gall firmly '
“Is he nice?” BBked Fannie
“Is he as good looking as John
Wilbur?” Hilda’s tone was wistful
She had always wanted John Wil-
bur herself v
“Girls wait! Three questions at
once! How can I answer them?”
Anne defended J
“He la coming up here In a month
or so and you will all have a chance
to see him and judge tor yourself
whether he Is nice or not I think be
la"
“If he can suit you Anne be must
be a marvel" Hilda sighed “Your
taste In men Is so fastidious Mother
has always said you would never mnr-
ry because you would never find any-
one who even approached your Ideal”
v‘Ts be tall and blonde Anne? And
handsome? But of coulee be Is!"
Gall erled excitedly
“What does be do 7" Inquired Fanny
“Is be lawyer or a clergyman or—”
8he paused trying to recall the pro-
fession Anne bad always shown most
preference for
“Ob he Is a business man” Anne
aid still turning ber ring proudly
“Then be is rich ot course Oh
Anne bow lucky you are!’’ Hjlda
Igshed '
“Yes I 'think I am lucky” Anne
said complacently
—"I think he Is lucky to get Anne"
said loyal Gall
"Oh Gall you are partial” Anne
chided -“Walt till you see him and
then yon will wonder bowjie could
ever have chosen me”
"Have you got his picture T” Fanny
asked j -
Anne shook her head -"What
Is his name?” questioned
Hilda
"His name Is Theodore Rlvlngton
Reese” Anne annonneed ths name
lowly and with becoming reverence
"What n beautiful name!” Gall
breathed "Do you call him Teddy for
short?"
“Oh no!” Anne looked startled
“No Indeed! Teddy would be horribly
out of place— with him"
"Theodore Rlvlngton Reese" Hilda
repealed "Why that name might
have come out of a novel! Mrs
Theodore Rlvlngton Reese! Doesn't
It sound grand?” - - '
"Makes John Wilbur sound pretty
shabby doesn't It?” Gall queried mis-
chievously -
"Poor John!” - Anne bulled on her
gloves while the girls watched her
with mingled feelings of envy and In-
terest and regret '
“Well 1 must go” ' She rose
"Come and seejne and we’U tdlk it all
over You haven't said a word about
yourselves" '
'"How could we when we were so In-
terested in you?” Gall asked "You
are forgiven for your long neglect of
us we understand everything now"
- “I knew you would” Anne said
“And you are happy? But of course
you are!” - Fanny hung upbn her
anxiously -''Happy?"
Anne’s voice had the
hush of exceeding joy - “My dears
you will never know how happy until
you each find the one man for your
self’’
“I suppose not" the girls said They
followed her to the door When she
had gone they returned solemnly'to
the radiator ' - -
”1 knew no ordinary man would get
her" Gail reflected at length
“Isn’t it wonderful?” Fanny mused
“Fate does Indeed lurk In unexpected
places Anne herself never dreamed
of this when she went south fflr her
father’s health Tall and blonde and '
handsome and rich!- Such a lucky1
girl!” -
“She didn't say” Hilda Bald a little
sharply thinking of plain good John I
who had courted Anne unsuccessfully!
’ “I know she didn't" Gail returned!
wouldn't have him if he wasn't all
that and more"
Within a week tho whole town was
agog over Anne's unexpected engage-
ment And 'when she began tP pre-
pare for her betrothed's visit her girl
friends flocked to offer their loving
service with no attempt to conceal
their curiosity to see him '
As bis visit was only to last three
days on account of his not being able
' to leave his business for a longer
time Anne had decided to hold a re-
ception for him the evening of bis ar-
rival TheodoreRivington Reese was met
at Jbfl station by a closed carriage it
being a rainy day and of course no
one caught a glimpse of him during his
rapid passage to the Gabe home -Fanny
Hilda and Gall bravely
togged In finery fresh for the occa-
sion went together flushed and flut-
tering with excitement As they en-
tered the large old Gage parlor they
beheld Anne standing very tall and
stately in all the glory of pale yellow
organdy a fair picture surely In tbe
sight of ill men with her betrothed
beslda her
The girls stumbled through their
greetings and retired with precipitate
baste to the privacy ot the corner be-
hlnd the winding staircase where
they clung together for some moments
speechless
' "He Is nearly half a head shorter!"
gasped Fanny Then jerking her
black and blue arm from Gall’s un-
consciously cruel grip —
“And he wears eye glasses and he
Is getting fat and bald and he Is
every day of forty-five” welled Hilda
“And he keeps a hardware store
Oh" moaned Hilda
“But she loves him!” cried Gall In
vindication
“Yee she loves him" Fanny agreed
"Girls If love can do that It can do
anything”
“And she might have had John Wil-
bur" Hilda said
Then their solemnity gave way to
hysterical giggling which lasted until
John W'ilbur who had been looking
everywhere for Hilda came peeping
around the corner and Inquired what
was the matter

"Didn't bother you a bit did I?”
“No madam” - '-
