It was recognized sphere of work for the great majority of the women of the country, but if was amazing how few women took any trouble to qualify themselves for en- tering upon that sphere of work. Women were extremely adaptive and were so. quick at picking up ig that they were apt to go through life ng up things as they went alotig hensive training for any of the duties they were called upon to full. In the | case of the betterto-do women, thelr ignorance of domestic economy was counterbalanced in the great majority of cases by the employment of per sons skilled In the or ormance 'of tic dut 80 tht Ignorance of the practical discharge of those duties robbed the supervision of them of much of its interest. Those well-to- do people might fe-l that their ignor- alice did not neecssarily soall any very serious dagger to the children whose lives were placed in their éare, but in the casé of women who had to do all their own house it was a very different matter. Ignorance In their case never deprived them of interest in thelr somewhat humdrum round of duties, but it no doubt made serious inroads on domestic happiness asd comfort, and it had a very ser fous influence on the health of the children.

The boy, Joseph Adair, had been loitering along behind the teams, "plumping" marbles, a dozen or more of which he had brought with him trom Hillsboro, when he was much alarmed on seeing in the road, direct- ly in front of him, a large, flerce-Jook- ing Indian, rifle fa hand, and other wise equipped with tomahawk and knife, after the manner of his race, The lad's first impulse was to shout aloud for help; but it struck him that the doubt thus expressed as to the Indiab's peaceable intentions might anger the savage. These and other thoughts ran quickly through the boy's. mind, the Indian, meanwhile; standing like a statue In the road. It then occurred to Joseph that the In- dian was closely observing the mar bles, and he determined to resort to a little friendly diplomacy. Picking up the marbles and holding them out in the palm of his hand, he approached the dusky stranger, and with as calm a voice as he could command, said, "Marbles! Do you want one? May have both. I have more." The Indian took the marbles and examined one of them so closely that the boy, sup- posed the savage had never before seen such a toy, and was trying to determine its use. Upon this, he took two other marbles from his pocket, and casting one of them some six or eight feet from him, he properly ad- justed the other between his thumb and finger, and showing the position tothe Indian, took deliberate alm. He hit the marble that he shot at so plump that it was knocked several yards. The one he had shot spun round in almost the same place from which the other had been driven, It was a good shot. The Indian, obsery- ing the @, uttered something like a grunt approval, and placing the marbles en him in his pouch, with- out & word or a gesture, stepped from the road and disappeared in the for- est. 3 EMPTY CRADLES Father Vaughan Says Low Birth Rate is "Simply Appalling" Father Vaughan, speaking. in Lon- don, referred to the fall in the birth- rate, especially among the well- ie tara aos The de- creases from 37 and 38 to 24 and 25 per 1,000. wag simply appalling in one generation.

AS HE SEES GOLF by thorough tillage. CANADA THE PRODUCER. J. J: Wiki Believes the States will Soon be Importing Our Wheat and Flour James J. Hill, perhaps the best au thority on farming and railroading on this continent, has stated that within a very few years the United States will be compelled to import wheat and flour. , He quotes statistics to show that the ratio of the population is increasing much faster than the production of foodstuffs, and draws the conclusion that in a very few years the United States will be im- porting. He also states that Canada will be the 'great produéing country of the 30th century, and that much ol the grain and flour which the United States will import will be secured in the Canadian West. In this connec tion it is interesting to notices that from 100,000 to 200,000 American far mers are crossing into the Canadian West every year and securing land which will yet grow wheat that is to supply their neighbors to the south.

"Next day I was appointed to take chafge of the service at three hundred dollars a month." But this was due to something more than luck. ! . TATTOOED BY LIGHTNING !
