With something of angelic light. 'William Wordsworth. What a beautiful tribute the world always pays to a good woman! It may regard a man with disfavor or even with doubt, but when a good woman nods the world acquleses.

Iroof may be lacking, apparently the weight of evidence may be against her, bbt the fact la established when she speaks. A splendid Illustration was recently recorded. As everybody knows New England people are generally familiar with hash, not only from It esoteric, but Its practical side. Peculiarly adapted as it is to certain conditions in life, It has been perpetuated and not alone In song and story until It has come to occupy a unique place In contemporaneous history. As has been previously noted.

It has been at times open to grave suspicion, but, in passing. It will not be Improper to once more call attention to that band of good women who, with confidence In their own Integrity, offered a hash supper. The world lacked but Its faith never wavered, and the golden reward these women received fr their efforts was but another Illustration of the tribute that the world has always paid and always will pay to such as they. But now come the good women of another church society, located, by the way, not far from Boston, whose announcement It would seem might strain the firm faith of the world almost to the breaking point. Only a few days since It was publicly given out that a "missionary hash" would be Berved as part of an evenings entertainment.

In certain lands and under certain conditions such a proclamation might be expected to causo some excitement, but not so In this case. At first thought there Is something shlveringly suggestive in the thought of "missionary hash." Chicken pies, lobster season, clam chowders, coot stews, or even frankfurters have a legitimate and long-established standing, but a "missionary hash! But again the woman -triumphed! Lest any unjust suspicion should attach to the members of this society, it should be made clear-that the "missionary hash was extended as a mental rather than as a gastronomic feast. The missionaries cards on which the names of missionaries are written, this fact must be clearlyunderstood were cut up into small pieces, then well shaken and Berved on china plates, one plate to each guest The object was to fit together the pieces of the card on ones plate so as to find out the name of the missionary in "the "hash." The place where things happen Is generally of little moment; It Is the result that counts. If the British soldiers had marched in the direction ot Quincy, rather than Lexington, it Is probable that the "embattled farmers in that section would have "fired the shot heard round the world." If name had been Jones. why tho elm at Cambridge would Have a different name, thats all.

So with the following story. It doesnt teally make any difference whether it happened in Cambridge or Somerville, and it isnt of the slightest Interest whether the mans name is Brown or Smith, But It is necessary to know that he really owned. an automobile not on the Instalment plan and also had hiddbn away In the dark recesses of the bank or In the cmcker Jar in the china closet at his home money enough left to buy another If It Should suit his fancy to do so. That Is one reason why things happened as they did. He had meditated and his meditations had so shaped themselves that he resolved to purchase a new automobile, he selected the make and even the dealer from whom he would purchase.

All these things settled without being suspected he started out in his old automobile. He didnt notice it, but fate sat In tho Beat besides him. That explains why It was that when he neared the door of the auto mans that an electric car bumped Into him and skewed one of the wheels of his car. Fate grinned and then finished up the job. He brought out the auto man In time to see the damaged car, but not In lime to see how the accident happened, then he took away that business mans wisdom and allowed him to Bay: "A man who cant drive a car belter than that has no right to own one.

He dont notice he didnt say doesn't "know enough to go in when It rains." The gentleman with money heard and understood. He straightway got Into his skew-wheeled car and skewed away. A little later and as he had real money It was not a long time, before he came back driving a new $200 car and It was liljJ because he bad paid for it. And he sat up very straight when he drcfve by the other auto mans door, and the auto man Baw and understood and looked unhappy. a a Notwithstanding the recent war scare between Great Britain and Germany over the Moroccan question a London newspaper Is considerably wrought up over the possibility of a mans whistling with a pipe in his mouth.

HOME ECONOMIC WORK Courses Through Country Is Extensive. Teaching Begun by Mrs Richards is Now in 1200 Institutions. The widespread influence and growth of the home economics movement in thi3 country lg shown in the recerit report prepared by Miss Marie T. Speth-mann, ofiieo of experiment stations.

department of agriculture. Investigations show that there are In the United Statfes over 100 colleges and universities or other institutions of collegiate grade which give courses in home economics. Of this number the colleges of agriculture and mechanics arts, or so-called land-grant' colleges, established by act of congress in each of the states, constitute the largest group offering four-year courses leading to the usual academic degrees. The courses vary considerably in character and extent, but in the main represent a reasonably high standard. The report of Miss Spethmann is particularly interesting at this time when in recognition of the leadership of the late Mrs Ellen H.

Richards of Boston, the American Home Economies association purposes to raise a memorial fund of the interest of the fund to be used in furthering the home economics movement in this country. Miss Spethmann says in her report: "Such work under a variety of names is also included in the curricula of a great number of normal schoo.s and higo The information included in the summary here presented hi been compiled from a card index of institutions, including normal schools and high schools as well as institutions of collegiate grade, giving instruction in home economics whicn is maintained in the agricultural service of the office of experiment-stations as a part of its regular work Generally speaking, it includes only those institutions which have furnished definite information regarding their course as a result of correspondence witn them. In a few cases, the data desired have been obtained in some other way." "As regards colleges and other In-Mitutions thN compilation comprises land-grant institutions not receiving federal aii, 1i2 normal schools, 64 secondary schools receiving: state aid for instructions in agricultural and home economics, beside other high schools, 12 special domestic science schools, 24 industrial schools, 26 Institutions for de feetives and dependents and 26 pasttime schools, ail for white students. -our-year courses leading to degrees are offered by 27 of the 32 land-grant institutions. Instruction in home economics for teachers is offered by 23 of the land-grant institutions, by 23 of the other collegiate institutions, and by 3 of the special domestic science schools.

There are also 16 land-grant institutions (of secondary grade) and 69 secendary and elementary institutions not receiving federal aid, for negroes, and 147 secondary and elementary schools for Indians. Of the 16 land-grant institutions for negroes, 9 offer some training for teachers in home economics, and of about 20 negro collegiate institutions listed, six give suen training. The grand total of Institutions known to be giving Instruction in home onomtes in the United States is, therefore, over 1200. and there are undoubtedly many others doing, similar work."
