Scmetimes a man tells his own troubles just to keep from listen- ing to those of others. The meanest man on earth is the one who hides his wife's curl- ing iren and powder puff, When a girl rejects a man she listens for a muflled shot or a splash to denote his finish. Usually the man with tight shoes has the most to say about women who indulge m tight lac- ing. The man who only knows one funny story caninventa hundred ways to drag it into the conversa- tion. There’s one good thing about the constitution; it does not sound like a commencement or- ation. Most of us who attend the school of experience insist on long vacations and short ses- sions. Some men go to as much trouble to explain why they do a thing right as they do to excuse a mistake. In wondering what other pec- ple think of you, do you include book agents, insurance solicitors and salespeople? While “wine, woman and song” may be all right, the country has had a demonstration that when mixed, as in the Thaw affair,they are apt to cause trouble. Cynclsm is intellectual dandyism without the coxcomb’s feathers.—Mere- dith, Hammers. Hammers are vepresented on the monuments of Egypt twenty centurles before our era. They greatly resembled the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the ex- traction of nails. The first hammer was undoubtedly a stone held in the hand, Claw hammers were Invented some time during the middle ages. I1- luminated manusecripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dalnty instruments used by the jeweler, which weigh less than half an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham- mer of shipbuilding establishments, some of which weigh as much as fifty tons and have a falling force of from ninety to a hundred. Every trade has its own hammer and its own way of using it. Queer Weather Forecasting. One of the rites performed by the French peasants on New Year's eve is the forecasting of the weather for the coming year by means of onions. ‘When the Dbells ring for midnight mass they scoop out the middles of twelve onions, set them in a row on the kitchen table, fill them with salt and name them for the months of the year. Then when they return from mass they examine the condition of the salt. If it has melted in any of the “months,” those months will be rainy; if the salt remains dry, It indicates drought; if half melted, the first fortnight of the month will be wet. The peasants have such implicit faith in this means of foretelling the weather that they plant their crops in accordance with the prophecy of the onions. The Iron Law of Caste. As an [llustration of the exclusive- ness of caste, which a native of India will do almost anything to preserve, it might be mentioned that when money passes between a low caste and a high caste man the coin is thrown on the ground by the one and picked up by the other for fear of defilement. They may not stand on the same carpet or enter the same room. Neither must the low caste man cross the threshold of his superior’s house or hut. If he wants to communicate with him he stands out- side and bawls. An Invitation, “Mabel,” he sald, “I love you. I place my happiness in your hands”— “Ior goodness sake,” she cried plead- ingly, “don’t do it now!” “Why not?” “Because I'm quite sure I'll need both hands in a minute or so to keep you from kissing me.’—Philadelphia Press. An Adage Vindicated. “Where there's so much smoke there must be some fire.” The boss was speaking. He had just detected the office boy consuming a clgarette on the premises. The adage was verified immediately. 1 The boy got the fire. — Philadelphia | Ledger. The Very Worst. Schoolmistress — Now, tell me the i truth, Yohnny Jones.

TS WORK IS FINSHED {Minnesota State Legislature Concludes Its Labors. AGREE ON AN ANTI-PASS BILL Both Houses Pass a Mearre That Will Become Effective on Jan. 1, 1908—Omnibus Appropriation Bill Is Passed. St. Paul, April 24 —After an even- ing of riotous proceedings the house of representatives of the Minnesota legislature closed its work last night. The senate turned back the clock and worked on until long after midnight. Today both bodies will meet to cor- rect (he journal and adjust affairs among members and will adjourn at noon. According to the constitution the time for passing bills ended at mid- night. The disorder in the house started in the afternoon when the anti-pass bill was on its final passage. Members began throwing spit-balls and paper wads at one another and started a gen- eral confusion. With the tax commission, anti-pass and other hills disposed of during the afternoon. the evening was given to passing the senate bills on the calen- dar and local and pet measures of the members. The only matter of im- portance during the evening was the omnibus appropriation bill and this was disposed of in a moment. The closing session in the senate was a busy one, the hilarity which marked the house doings being miss- ing, but the senate nevertheless was good-natured and the various bills were rushed through with little fric- tion. The house, on motion of R. J. Wells of Breckenridge, chairman of the ap- propriation committee, increased the state tax levy from 15 mills to 1.7 mills. An anti-pass bill, effective Jan. 1, 1908, was reported by the conference committee and passed in the house. Embodies Features of Senate Bill. The bill passed embodies the essen- tlal features of the bill passed by the senate last week except that the house provision for free transportation for members and employes of the state railroad commission is left in the bill. The date is a compromise between the house and senate bills, the house bill going into effect Dec. 31, 1908, and the senate bill immediately. The Rockne amendment to the house bill specifically prohibiting legislative members and state and county officials from accepting passes is attached to the bill, the object of this being to prevent them from taking passes un- der the excuse of being railroad attor- neys or employes. The senate passed the bill with but three votes against it. Senator McGowan’s bill substituting the gravity test for the flash test for kerosene oils was killed by the house. The opposition was based on the in- crease of fees and salaries. On motion of R. J. Wells of Breck- enridge the house recalled and recon- sidered the game and fish bill which had been passed Monday. The bill was amended to require a license of hunters only when outside their own county and repassed. The house spent some time repass- ing house bills which had been amend- ed by the senate. Tirst of these were the dralnage bills, the bills drawn by the house committee on drainage. There were four bills, a bill for a judi- clal system, a bill amending the coun- ty system, bill for a state system and a bill providing for an increase of the price of state land to cover the cost of drainage. They will all become law. J. A. Dalzell of Morton made a fight on W. L. Nolan’s municipal ownership bill, known as the Muller law, when it came hack with the senate amendment requiring a threefifths instead of a four-fifths vote on the question. C. B. Miller of Duluth defended the bill and it was repassed. Minneapolis Man WIll Build It. The Elwell-Timberlake bill provid- ing for a special tax to raise $700,000 for the state university in the next four years for the purpose of acquiring additional ground for the campus and erecting additional bulldings was passed by the senate in the form in which it came from the house. As passed it provides for an expenditure of $250,000 for the engineering build- ing, but contains no provision for the ladles’ dormitory nor for the dental ‘| and pharmacy building. Senator Albert Schaller of Hast- ings, who had the amendment rein- stating the appropriation of $75,000 for the dormitory inserted after the house had taken it out, stated in moving that the vote by which the senate passed the bill with this amendment be reconsidered, that he had been in- formed by the president of the board of regents of the university that the dormitory will be built by a public spirited Minneapolis citizen whose name he was not at liberty to mention. The fear that there would be trouble between the two houses over the omnibus appropriation bill was not reallzed. The senate passed the bill, amending it by adding about $94,000, and the house agreed to the senate amendments without ‘much discussion. The report on the conference com- mittee on the tax commission bill was adopted by the senate and the bill as amended was passed. The principal changes in the bill were making the salary $4,500 and providing for the re- tention of the state board of equaliza- tion until Jan. 31, 1909, . ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. dury Impanelled to Try the Case of a i€ Remarkable Woman. New York, April 25.—A jury has been fmpanelled for the trial for mur- fer of Anisia Louiso de Massy, a ‘widow, and in many respects the most ‘remarkable prisoner ‘who has oceu- pled a cell in the Tombs.

Millville, N. J., April 25—Three young women employed at T. C. Wheaton & Co.’s glass factory in this city were killed by the collapse of a smokestack which crashed through a voom In which they were working. The dead are Lena Doughty, Lydia Thurston and Sylvia Gallagher. The accident occurred during a wind storm which lasted but a few seconds. The velocity of the wind was estimated at sixty miles an hour. The stack crashed through the roof of the plaat and into the grinding room occupied by several men and the three young women. All were buried under the debris. The crash was heard for several blocks and work- men from other parts of the plant went to the rescue. Among the res- cuers was George Doughty, whose daughter was in the ruins. Her body was quickly uncovered but life was extinct. Miss Thurston was taken out alive but died shortly afterwards. Miss Galiagher was dead when her body was found. Has a Talk With Roosevelt.

It’s just stomach trouble, nothing_else in the world. Two bottles of Cooper’s New Discovery will put the stomach in shape in three weeks. Iknow this becavse I’ve seen it tried a thousand times. _ Then all nervousness will disap- pear. I know this too, because I’ve seen it happen a thousand times. Here’s a let- ter I got the other day: ¢“My system was badly run down and my stomach and nerves in an awful shape. I could not digest my food, was always tired and would often feel faint and dizzy."’ “I had heard_ so much of your New Discovery medicine that I began takingit. Relief and strength and happiness were found in the very first bottleand the bene- fit I have received from it has been truly wonderful.
