civilization of the known world. It Is
true that extreme poverty, like Idle-

culture are still sadly inadequate. But
it Is not true that we have reached the

slowly, to be sure, but this shows wise
conservatism and a due realization of
its solemn responsibilities. The home
knows that not everything is advance

WHO SUPPORTS THE FAMILY f
N thirty States of the Union a mother has
no ownership In her own children, and the
husband can collect every dollar of their
enruings. Is the wife who bstags up a fam
ily of children, under such conditions as
these, not a self-supporting member of the
community? Who supports the family, any
way? In the days of our grandfathers the husband paid
for a bariel of flour and the wife made that flour into
bread. Converting raw material Into a manufactured
product Is usually more expensive than the raw mate
rial Itself. The cash value of the wife’« contribution
to the broad might have been more than the value con
tributed by the husband to provide the flour. Would
she, then, not be as self-supporting as her husband?
All this balderdash about the necessity of economic
independence for women is a pretty poor tribute to the
Intellectual ability of the female reformers who are re
sponsible for so much trouble and unhappiness. Is tho
woman who draws a salary from the mere man who
employs her in his office more Independent than the wife
who is comfortably cared for by her husband? Or can
the wage earner of either sex be considered as econom-
ically independent?
There is no sex to brain power of itself. And in this
free country there Is no more obstacle to a woman at
taining economic Independence than there is to the man.
Stop arguing, sisters. There is no room for argument.
Time flits and opportunity fleets. If economic independ
ence is your sole object, roll up your sleeves and dig In.

DEATH BY VIOLENCE.
EARLY 11,000 persons committed suicide tn
this country last year. This Is probably
the largest number of suicides In any single
year in the history of the country, statis
tics showing a marked and steady increase
In late years In the number of cases of self-
destruction. Other deaths due to personal
violence numbered 8,952, which, with the 100 cases of
lynching rej>orted, make a total of 19,904 cases of death
by personal violence In a single year. These are star-
tling figures.
Of the Illegal hangings or lynchings, the South con
tributed ninety-seven and tile North three. California
had one case and Illinois two. There were ninety-two
legal executions In the country, thirty-six of which were
In the North and fifty-six In the South. Two persons
executed were Chinese, forty-four were blacks and forty-
six were whites. Of the suicides, 0.34 arose from busl
ness losses and failures, nnd of this number thirty-one
were barkers and brokers. Among profosslonal men,
physicians furnished tho largest number of suicides
Seven thousand, eight hundred sixty-four males anil
2,USS females destroyed themselves, a ratio of nearly
three males to one female.
These figures tiiat tell of the violent deaths of 20,000
people yearly, bei-ause of crime or Inability to eojie suc

awaken profound and Bober thought and lead to serious

WATCH CANADA.
N the Canadian Northwest the railroads
arc laying out new towns by wholesale
along their new lines. On the Grand Trunk
Pacific, the Canadian Northern and the Ca
nadian Pacific 220 new villages will be plat
ted within the next few months. The rail
road authorities believe that to locate such
trading places and rutlway stations not more than eight
or ten miles apart, along their extensions westward ami
northward, will facilitate the settling of the farming
country between and promote the development of the
entire territory. It Is expeeteil that settlers from the
United States will furnish a large part of the population
required to fill up a great region, far north of the boun
dary. Canada has seen immigration from this country
rise to 00,000 a year, with signs of a still heavier move
ment, and the plans of the Canadian railroad companies
are on a generous scale, accordingly. It is solid, en
during, fruitful growth which will add Immensely to
tl»e productiveness and wealth of America, on both sides
of the international frontier. The Dominion is moving
forward at a great rate. In all of the vital elements Of
national life anil progress. Its future will surely far

WATER WAYS AND PEACE.
HE use of common waterways has always
proven a prolific cause of Internationa
wrangling. The Joint navigation of such
waters, the joint control of water power,
the regulation of fishing rights und the
determination of the use of water in navi
gable streams having their rise in one
Jurisdiction and their outflow in another have led to in
terminable dispute. Iaiter Inventions, especially the use
of water power for the development of electrical energy,
have only served to increase the possibilities of dissen-
sion. There has been a continuous unsettled water-
ways debate between the United States and Great
Britain from the time of the colonies. It is therefore
of most happy augury for the future that a treaty has
been successfully negotiated by Secretary Root and An*
bassador Bryce providing for amicable adjustment by
a Joint high commission of all future waterway and
boundary difficulties.—Philadelphia Record.

Another result of Dr. Landone's ex-

better to preserve the tissues with

the production of an immense amount

Tty* fig tree grows alaioet wild and
requires little cultivation, safs the Pre
mier Enquirer. Although certain vacie-
tl«'s are gyown in various parts of the
.world, those of Asiatic Turkey, com
monly called Smyrna figs, for the rea
son that they are packed and shipped
from Smyrna, are the b**st. The grow
ing district is in the province (vilayJt)
of Aidin, the plantations extending
from Ayassoluk to Ortachi, a valley
over 100 miles long, spreading far on
both sides of the line of the Ottoman
railway, which runs through it, afford
ing direct trans{>ortation from the in
terior.
The tigs ripen by the beginning of
August. They nre not picked, but when
they reach a certain maturity they be
gin to dry and consequently they drop
on the ground. In the morning every
body on the plantations goes around
with buckets gathering the fruit, which
they carry to a certain place where the
ground is covered with dry leaves and
straw (sergei), and on which they
spread the fruit, exposing it to the sun,
allowing it to remain there from two to
three days.
Fig packing Is one of the principal
industries of Smyrna. Thousands of
people find employment during the end
of August and the months of Septem
ber. October and part of November,
more than $500.000 being paid in wage«
during that time.
The demand for figs has increased
considerably during the last two years.
