A little girl wrote this composition en men: "Men are what women mar ry. They drink and smoke and swear, but dont go to church. Perhaps if they wore bonnets they would. They axe more logical then women and also more soologlcal. Both men and wom en sprung from monkeys, but the women sprue further than the men." Buddhism and Animal Ufa. t It must be said of Buddhism that It baa left one indelible mark all over India, China, and the east, and that la the teaching of gentleness and kindness to one another and to ani mals. Buddha taught that life is but a prolonged endeavor to escape from suffering, and that, therefore, to cause others to suffer is the unfor gtveable sin.

ATTRACTIVE FARM DWELLING CONVENIENT Detailed Description of Hous Owned by Farmer tn Ohio That May be Butll at an Approximate Cost of.$2.600 to 3.000. aA-Srr;. An Attractive (Tly 3. E. PRTPGMAV. One of the most convenient and modern farmhouses of moderate cost the writer has seen Is owned by a farmer In Ohio. It la comfortable and handsome, and the farmer and hia family enjoy practically all of the advantages that are to be found In city homes. The house has few an glea and corners and It may be built at an approximate cost of $2,800 to $3,000, and contain many of the Im provements essential to comfort, util ity and beauty. The main or front part of the house Is 28 feet square and the kitchen and pantry 14x20 feet. The lower story Is 9 feet high and the second story 8 feet 6 Inches. The exterior walls are covered with shiplap end lap sid ing with building paper between. The roofs are covered with best grade of 5 to 2 cedar shingles, that Is. Ave of the shingles, when placed together, will measure practically 2 inches at the thick ends. These shingles will cost slightly more, but they will also last about three times aa long as the $ to 2 shingles. All interior side walls and ceilings receive three coats of plaster with white finish. All floors are quarter sawed yellow pine. The trim for dining-room, living-room, hall and li brary is of birch with mahogany stain. The kitchen and pantry has hard pine trim with oil finish. Entire second floor has pine trim with flat tints except bathroom, which has enamel finish. A good solid limestone or cement foundation Is placed under the house and a basement excavation under the front part. A hot-air furnace Is placed in the basement, also a hollow wire lighting plant. The furnace and RACE SUICIDE AMONG FARMERS Decline In Population Shown by Last Census in Atrlcnllnral Areas Due to Discourage snent of Married Workers. fBy C. R BARNS.) The pitiful story was told recently In a northern daily paper of an In dustrious and capable farm laborer who bad answered several advertise ments of farmers In need of just such experienced services as he was able i to render; but whoe application was rejected. In each Instance, because he ! bad a wife and two small children, j The farmers wanted neither ronen ' nor children about their farms. So ; this competent farm worker was ; obliged to accept employment In a city stable. It is to be feared that this Is by no means an Isolated Instance. Human kindness has been so far eliminated, In many cases, from the relationship between the farmer and his hired help, and that relationship has been put so exclusively on a bard business basis, that the complaint Is common that "the farmer cares more for the comfort and happiness of bis cattle and hogs than be does for the well- j being of his men." Under healthier conditions In rural I life, the married workman would re- ceive the same preference that he generally does from employers In mercantile and manufacturing pur suits; as being more reliable and Ipss likely to seek a change, If fairly well treated, than the single man. AsMo from this, however, there Is a moral COW TESTING A dairy farmer near Myrtle, Ont, yield of milk by 2.453 pound per cow. tow In 1905, and $76.78 In 1908, The the milk can. 1904 907 (s i905 " fiX f was! a-5 Cj- MitK JT MR T - J1 pi COW i cow COW ir .

As both the heating and lighting plants are entirely safe, easy to oper ate and the expense of running them less than the cost of operating or us ing oil lamps and stoves. It would seem that their use would pay. to say nothing of the added comfort and pleasure derived from them. The funiace will without doubt pre vent much sickness If the fresh air shaft Is properly Installed, and the gas lights will save the housewife much labor; alo you will have a light equal to any city light, tlectrlcity not excepted. The cellar has an Inside entrance under the main stairway, also an out side entrance. Root cellar, front room, etc.. are provided In the basement. The pantry Is so located that it pre vents the heat from entering the dining-room during the summer months and contains china closet with doors opening to dining-room, cupboard, flour bin, etc. All rooms are of good size well lighted, and ample closet room is pro vided; also a good-sized linen closet. The living-room has an open fire place which also his smoke flue for the furnace. The large arches con necting the dining-room, hall and living-room causes these rooms to seem larger than they really are, and with suitable rugs, curtains, etc., a beauti ful effect may be obtained. The house has no fancy work, but when neatly painted will present a very good front and will not look out of place on almost any building lot. and for many reasons this building seems especially adapted to rural dis tricts. and social obligation, resting at least as strongly on the farmer as on any among workers, and thus to promote stability in rural populations and to discourage the nomadism among la borers which Is the bane of our agri cultural enterprises. It Is altogether probable that the actual decMne In population, shown by the last census to have taken place In extensive agricultural areas, Is due to the discouragement of mar riage among farm workers, and the refiipal of employment to men with families. That way lies the decline of states and the ruin of democracy. If we want growth in population, and the perfect working out of the Demo cratic ideas underlying American In stitutions, we muKt reverse our meth ods, welcome rather than repel the man with a family, and be willing to share with him some portion of the opportunities of the farm. Utmost Precautions Needed. Impure milk will be the result If the utmost precautions are not taken In handling It, and Impure milk neces sarily means that lis products will al so be Impure and have very poor keeping qualities. It should be remem bered that all contamination depends upon some form of bacteria, which are present everywhere and which multiply very readily under certain conditions and temperatures.

There have been no flowers on the table since the tragic death of the Empress Elisa beth; but the lights of wax candles glint the golden service and the rare wine In cut glass; they fit from his toric tapestries to carved wood furni ture and panela such a no museum possesses and make dancing shadows In the distant corner. There are faint, mysterious noises In the Ilofburg. aa of furtive steps up secret stairway In the walla, and there are alienees In which you feul eye peeping through holes. The great palace ban an invisible popula tion if effaced officials, gliding ecclesi astics, soft-footed domestic, noble old dames and ancient courtiers, whose only sounds are creaking Joint as they slip through dim corridors where entries stand immobile. It la the frigid court of a lone, aged emperor bereaved by bloody loss of wife, son and favorite brother; so high that none dare offer him sympathy, tern and unbending In hi haughty Isolation. When his daughters. Marie Valeria, with her battalion of children, or Qelsele. became a morose old wom an, are not there on some rare visit, the emperor Is "alone." It Is hi wish. He Is too old for state dinner and court functions, except the most Indis pensable, brief and Infrequent. Th aged emperor la dreaming of the gorgeous gala dinners of the past. He see the Ideal throng of other day. Again he hear th three tap of the Grand Chamberlain' can to announce the entrance of their Impe rial and royal majesties.

Their majesties pass. Vanished all that Th aged em peror sighs, and plans little pleasure which the doctor will permit him. He may still hunt; doubtless be no longer climb crag after the chamois or the woodcock; but hi hand 1 still firm as he wait on hi camp stool In the forest; and tg or roebuck that come within range I sure of his af fair.

Twice a year they hok't him to tne back of a strong, tran quil animal, a pbnntom of the bril liant cavalier of other days; and Fran cis Joseph, stiff ant bruised, watches th spring review and the finale of the autumn maneuvers. He love his cigar and smoke continually the green and Juicy marvels mndo for him by th two famous Cuban growers. The aged emperor looks up from his cigar. How lonely Is the Immense pal ace full of hidden courtiers, func tionaries, servants. It Is still esrly, not yet seven. Francis Joseph rises. Ill guest takes ceremonious leave and the sovereign goes to his study. What a place, that study. Suites of libra ries and office on endless corridors, from which once went ont minute ad ministration of the dual empire! Fran cis Joseph aighs with relief. A confidential valet helps him Into hat and overcoat.

He walks 20 steps across the Utile courtyard to the door, where a limousine awaits him. There Is no special secrecy; It Is to avoid cere mony merely.

For long she, too, has lived rotlred. and the mourning emperor found bur so Intelli gent, ao fine and also good. that, great love and sorrow having burnt out, an affectionate friendship grew up to give him a kind of peaceful solace. The court calls her "the Dour geolse." With Katharine Schratt, for the Drst time In (5 years, he learned what blesesd relief from frigid etl quotte and numbing ceremony might be.
