The method which Is being followed
consists In spi.iying the Holds with n

who took tlvu and one-eighth pounds
of eggs from one Get man carp. By
actual count one grain contained four
teen eggs, which would bilug the sum
total of eggs canted by this fish up to
approximately ILMlO.m It Is this
i cum limbic fecundity of the carp fam

Is none the less teal because It is one
that Is usually taken for granted. A

that a farmer can get to town over
good roads w ill) a thirty dollar load
of produce with less wear on horses
and wagon than he could with a ten

roads he holds that time lequlred for

of the state the number of wolves seem

stead of serving as an Incentive to ex
terminate the pests, the bounty Is look
ed upou as a gi.ift for a lot of shiftless
woodsmen aud hiiuteis, who so manip
ulate matters as to have a steady
Hotitce of Income from the business.
It Is thought that If the bounty were
removed enthely those stiffeilng the
most from the Inroads of the animals
would undertake the destruction of the

H mother left iU'leeti yeats ago with
live children under ten yenis of age
and a farm heavily mottgaged. The
fortitude with which this mother met
the duties and responsibilities of her
trjiug position is luspiilng In the ex
treme. Being .i schoolteacher before
her marriage, she took this wotk up
on the death of her husband ami would
drive three or four miles to the neaiby
school during all the winter mouths,
doing the farm choies In the morning
before she left aud finishing them at
10 or 11 o'clock at night after her re
fill u home. In this way she kept up
the Interest on the note and at the
same time gave her five childicu the
best education that laj- In her power.
Today she lb reducing the indebted
ness with their assistance. The in
stance Is not cited because it is ex
ceptional, tor it is a type of devotion
and self hacilflte that is very common.
There Is hardly a home but is giaced
by the unselfish seivice of one oi moio
of these uncrowned heioes or heioiues
a husband devoting every energy to
providing for his dear ones, often hand

often a mother, mingling her prayets

ble as the heart Is capable of, perhaps
the only support and ptotector of the
chiidien of a shiftless or drunken hus

daughter on whom the buiden falls.
But with all of them it is the same
faithfulness thiough long years of toll

these that the world grows better aud
human hearts more mellow and gentle
with the passing jeais. Though his
tory makes no count of them and
though no memorial is raised to com

their faithful service Is impressed on
the tablets of human hearts and re

their fellow men.
THE HOY AMI HIS FATHER.
While as a people we shaie a becom
ing Interest in the vast material val
ues annually pioduced on the myriad
farms of the country In the shape of
bumper ciops of giain and thoiough
bred stock, theie is not one of all these
things that possesses the leal value or
concerns the futuie w elt'are of the com
munity, stateor nation us does the clean,
honest, ludustilous aud lclhible boy of
eighteen years. The pi Ice of all other
farm products fluctuates Is up or down
to conespond with the varying de
mandbut for the boy of the kind
mentioned theie is an ever Inci easing
call to do the wotld's woik. In view
of this situation it is worth while to
give to the boy that painstaking care
nnd Interest that will enable him to
supply the country's demand for men.
While it would be dllllcult to measure
the Impress of the mothers Inlluence
wo would say u woid here concerning
the boy and his father, for the cases
aie all too numerous where beyond the
age ot ten tho lad Is pione to follow
the example of his father iatiicr than
to abide by the piecept of his mother.
It is natural, but ti matter both of con
gratulation and regret, that the boy
looks ii to the father as he does.
While theie are exceptions to tho tide,
It lb not reasonable to expect that the
hoy Is going to realize any higher typo
of manhood than the father exempli
fies, and he Is slioilslghtirl and unioa
sonable who condemns lu tho boy what
he allows In himself. Boy nut mo doos
not oveilook the iiiHlncetlty of such an
attitude. The early establishing of
a bond of Inteiest and comradeship not
only conduces to the highest satisfac
tion on the part of the parent, hut Is
fovorablo to the development of that
affection and legatd on tho part of the
son which never leave him, but which
tend to develop In him a filial gtatl
tudo that will make the fathers declining-
years cheery and golden ms they
come and go. Itali-c pure hied stock,
tho best possible to got, but don't over
look tho boy, In n fundamental and
lust anulyhJs everything else raised on
tho fnim, howover good or useful, Is
mere trash computed with him. A Hue
type of manhood thlB Is pilmary. And
every farm home lu the laud should
furnish Its quota to supply n never sat
isfied demand.

Hats In Parliament.
History does not tell, so far as we
know, how it oume about that mem
bers of tho English parliament wear
their luitn. The custom has de
scended from an ago when its pro
ceedings were not recorded, but ono
may suspect that thereby hangs a
tale of sturdy and victorious levolt
against privilege, such as broke out
ut Vcrsaillus, could it be lecovered.
Now and again wc lind an antique
allusion lo Tho practice. When the
commons voted thnt every one
should 'uncover or stir or move his
hat" when lho fpeuker expressed tho
thanks of ino house for any servicn
done "by a member, Lord Fiilkluiri
"stretched both his arms out and
clasped his hunds together on tho
cron of his hat and held it down
close to his head, that all might ecj
how odious that flattery was to
him." Lordon Chronicle.
Antiquity of Soap.
Soap is not a modern invention.
It is twice mentioned in tho Bible,
first in Jeiwnluh and again in Mal
nclii. History tolls us that woro
than 2,000 jours ago the Gauls man
ufactured it by combining beech
tree ashes with goats' fat. Some
years ugo a soap hoilor's shop was
discovered in Pompeii, having been
buried beneath tho terrible rain of
ashes that foil upon that city 79 A.
IX Tho soan found in tho shop hud
not lost all its efficacy, although it
had been buriod 1,800 years, At tho
time that Pompeii was destroyed
tho Botipmuking business was car
ried on iu severul of the Italian
cities.

is in question. Far from it I She may have, tucked away
in sonic remote crevice of her brain, an idea of enjoy

American woman, in any phase
is naturally strenuous and she
has an object in view she pursues it indcfatigably.
Her ideal recreation and that is what the majority indulges in
is not a recreation at all. It begins in May and ends in October
and comprehends all the rushing about, all the confusion of thought,
all the splendid mixture ot interests, which only she can keep straight,
and fatigues that would make a strong man quail. Her first step is
to set sail for Europe on one of the big liners, and for a week the ship
life engrosses her new people, new amusements. Then there is the
London season. After this a short tour on the continent, a long
seance at Vienna (with the dressmakers). Another, equally trying, at
Paris, and a third, to wind up if she has the true shopping instinct
in London. Then harassed, worn out with hours of "trying on," dis
appointments, and all the other etceteras that attend the victim of the
modiste, her every nerve on edge with the artificial fever of existence,
she hies her where? To a nunnery? Not at all. She makes for a
famous rest cure, and diets, exercises, walks and bathes herself into a
civilized being again.
For three weeks she works like a horse. She lives absolutely
by rule. The regimen is of the strictest, and as in all other affairs,
she allows nothing to interfere with it. Her return passage is already
engaged. Her season beyond the sea is about to open and she must
be on hand, read', smiling, fresh and this is the important point
looking years younger than when she went away. So she follows her
cure to the bitter end and emerges rejuvenated. Ask any woman
how she has enjoyed it at the end of such a summer and she will tell
you it has been a perfect success. The passion for overcrowding is a
disease. We cram all the excitement and fatigue into our "recreation"
that one poor mortal can live through, then sentence ourselves to
three weeks at hard labor to work it off, and say we have had a lovely
time. And the moral of it all is wc are Americans, the apotheosis
of the restless.

send the boy or girl to
college or university. It would be a good thing if some millionaire
would endow a co'lege of good horse sense. Many boys whose par
ents have money go from one artificial life to another. They have
never learned to do one really useful piece of work at home, and many
of our schools appear to be arranged to carry on this condition of
weakness.
In the old days when colleges were smaller the professors them
selves taught the majority of the students. These sturdy men some
times spent half an hour in giving a strong word out of their own
experience. They did not hesitate to mix up in a cane rush or go
to a student's room at night to see why he was breaking up the
furniture.
In the days when Daniel Webster went to college they made
great men by personal contact with other great men men who on
meager salaries, but with minds rich with varied experiences, were
capable of giving that which far exceeds mere technical training.
They were mostly men of definite religious experience, and might
be regarded as old fogies now. But the students who came under
their influence knew something moie than books when they grad
uated. It sometimes seems as though only the fellows who have to
make their way should go to college. That is the assurance of their
desire to have an education. Abraham Lincoln is an eminent exam
ple of a man who went to the school of horse sense.
