A household magazine down East is gladdening the world by publish- ing a symposium on “How to Get Your Husband to Go Out of Even- ings.” Never before had we known that there was any trouble about this. Our perusal of the gush and mush depariments of the magazines has led us to believe that the main difficulty after marriage is to keep the brute at home except during working hours. We have read millions of articles, or at the least, thousands, suggesting that lonely wives fix up dens and libraries and invite in his friends and give them cigars and cards and thus keep hubby at home. Probably this scheme succeeded, and the women now repent them of their achieve- ment and want him to go out of nights. A few of them complain that when the brute comes home from work he doesn’t want to go somewhere and play bridge or dance. Laura Jean Libby can get points from some of them. But why all this ruction? If a woman wants her husband to go out evenings all she needs to do is to tell him to stay at home. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc™] No life is fruitful without frost. Folks who expect failure seldom are disappointed. Patience with lesser lives is born of the larger life. You are free from any divinity so long as you despise humanity. It’s hard to stay blue when you are brightening the lot of another. Many think they repent the sow ing when they only fear the reap- ing. You never will have the privilege of sympathy without the price of suffering. The lives of some of its friends hurt religion more than the logic of its foes. There’s a lot of difference be- tween saving money and hoping to be saved by it. Four hundred saloons have gone out of business in St. Louis.

Walker of Beresford, this coun- ty, while left alone crawled to the top of the kitchen stove and set her clothes on fire. The screams of the little one soon attracted her. mother, who threw her at once into a tub of Water. The child's body was badly burned and the little sufferer passed away in a few hours. Diphtheria Closes School, Brookings S. D, Feb. 1)\—The schools of this city were closed by order of the board of health in order that they might be thoroughly fumi- gated. This summary action of the board was caused by the sudden death of Bennie Randall of black diphtheria. The young man was seventeen years old and a member of the sophomore class. He was a son of John Randall of this place. Generally the Case. “l wish you would mention this to Jinks.

GERMANY OVER THE TRACES Action Comes as a Shock to the Offi- cials of England and the Continent, Particularly as a Quiet Diplomatic Season Had Been Anticipated. London, Feb. 15—What is prac- tlcally the brealk-up of the European concert on the Macedonian question has come as a shock to the chancel- lories of the Continent and England, particularly as a quiet diplomatic sea- son had been anticipated. The assent of Germany to the management of Moroccan affairs by France, the con- clusion of agreements to maintain the status quo in the Mediterranean and the opening of negotiations looking to treaties that should accomplish a sim- ilar purpose with regard to the North sea seemed to make the possibility of differences arising among the powers remote. The conferences of the am- bassadors at Constantinople also ap- peared to be going on smoothly when & bomb was thrown into camp by the announcement made by Baron Mar- schall von Bieberstein, the German ambassador, that Germany would no longer act with the other powers in insisting that Turkey consent to their demands. As to the cloud that has arisen be- tween Russia apd Austria-Hungary over the projécts for railroad exten- slons in Macedonia by the latter state, the right of Austria-Hungary to secure a concessiou for ths Novipazar rail- road line and the justice of Germany supporting her ally are recognized in England, but it is contended that the present time is in opportune for the raising of this point. It is now said that the official break- ing up of all these international un- derstandings will aggravate the Mace- donian question, reopen the whole Near East problem, start a contest for railroad concessions which may lead to serious results ard enable Turkey to posipone the reforms for which the ambassadors have been working. RUSSO-BRITISH AGREEMENT Joint Action Likely With Regard to Macedonia. St. Petersburg, Feb. 15—It is ex- pected here that Russia and Great Britain will enter upon an agreement for joint action with regard to the situation in Macedonia and that these two powers will be supported by France and perhaps by Italy. If such a coalition is made the reason for it undoubtedly will be the latest develop- ments at Constantinople—the fact that Germany intends to abandon the allies and adopt the counter proposals of the sultan, which are, in the Russian point of view, tantamount to no reform at all, and which are regarded as creat- ing a situation rivaling the Morocesoy entanglement in international impor- tance. Only by such a four-power league, according to the Russian press, can the necessary reforms in Mace- donia be carried through. Dispatches received here from London indicate that a similar view is gaining ground there. FATAL RIOTING AT BOMBAY Police Kill and Injure Quarrelsome Mohammedans. Bombay, Feb. 15.—Serious rioting occurred here during the course of the celebrations of the Muhurram, the first month of the Mohammedan year, aris- ing from disputes between the Sun- nites, or orthodox section, and the Shiahs, the second great division of Mohammedans. The police arrested several Sunnites and the mob demanded their release, which demand was refused. The mob thereupon stoned the police, injuring two of them. The police commission- er and other European officers fired upon the rioters, killing at least five of them and injuring forty, twenty of whom were seriously wounded. - It is believed that others were killed and their bodies removed by relatives. Eventually the troops were called out and are camping in the streets. TORNADOES IN THE - SOUTH Loss of Life Reported in Mississippi and Texas.

Janesville, Wis., Feb. 15.—Discovery ‘was made by Chief of Police Appleby of this city that Mrs. Martha Ander- son, who was found dead with her throat cut, had been for three years an inmate of the asylum for the in- sane at Mendota, Wis., suffering with suicidal mania. The police declare that this practically dispels the theory that the woman was mundered. DEAD WITH THROAT CUT. Another Janesville (Wis.) Woman Meets Mysterious End. Janesville, Wis., Feb. 1..—Mrs. Mar- tha Anderson was found dead with her throat cut from ear to ear. The district attorney. is Investigating her death. Mrs. Anderson was found in a room- ing house lying on a cot, her head hanging over the side. A police officer was summoned by other roomers in the house. While the death is appar- ently due to suicide owing to the two other recent mysteries an nvestiga- tion will be made. ‘When the police came to investigate the death of Mrs. Anderson they found that the screen on the outer door had been torn away as if some one had used that means of getting into the house, the glass in the inner door broken and the door to the woman’s room open, Mrs. Anderson was a dishwasher in a local hotel and had always had & good reputation. BOMB FAILED TO EXPLODE Had Been Placed Under Stage Where King Carlos Landed. Lisbon, Feb. 15.—It has been learned that a bomb was found under the land- ing stage where King Carlos landed jon the day of the assassination. It had failed Lo explode because of a de- fect in the fuse. A number of persons have called at the late home of Buica, one of the dead assassins, to give money to his mother-in-law for the support of his children. The proprietor of a depart- ment store has opened a subscription for them with $1,000. A curious fact has come to light. Shortly before the crime Buica had competed with the king in a shooting match, beating his royal opponent by several points. Cuts Off Brother’s Leg. Parkersburg, W.

Crazed by drink Marshall Spillman of i A Lost Bank Note. A friend of mine, writes a Scottish correspondent, recently saw a plece of paper lying on the street. He plcked it up. It was a one pound note. Some men might have pocketed it, with a smile of satisfaction. My friend, how- ever, honestly handed it over to the police. A short time afterward he dis- covered that he himself had lost a pound. He thought over the matter and remeMbered that before finding the note he had been standing on the edge of the pavement for some time. It slowly dawned upon him that the pound he had found was his own and that he had drawn it from his pocket unconsciously. He went back prompt- ly to the police station and explained | the circumstance. The officer In charge only shook his head and smiled in- icredulously. “Very clever,” he said, “but—eh—it will scarcely do.”” If my friend cared to call back at the end of six months, he was informed, he would get the pound if in the interval it had not been claimed. During this time of waiting he is inclined to meditate as to whether honesty is always the best policy.—London P. T. O. In Case of Accident. Don’t bluster. Be tactful. If there are dangerous germs present, ask them to withdraw. If they demur, ask them where they were brought up with gen- tle irony. Be careful to render first aid to the injured. A great deal of unnecessary suffering has been caused by persons hastily rendering third or even fourth aid where first aid was indicated. In case of drowning select a best method of resuscitation. There are 4,639 best methods in all. Have them about you in the form of loose news- paper clippings and run them over briefly before acting. Keep cool. Stop every little while and take your temperature, If the coroner arrives while you are at work, immediately desist. It is dis- courteous to save life in his presence. Take accurate notes of the street and number. Reviving patients almost al- ‘ways ask where they are. If possible, induce death to super- vene rather than to take place merely or even to ensue. It gives the family a sense of dignity.—Puck. The Frank Critic. “When Sir John Millais was engaged In painting his ‘Chill October’ among the rushes on the banks of the Tay, near Perth,” said an English artist, “a railway porter from the station at Kin- fauns used to carry the canvas back and forth for him. “The porter was a quaint chap. His services were called for many days in requisition. He became quite friendly with Sir John and seemed to take a bearty interest In the progress of the painting. “Well, ‘Chill October’ was eventually finished and sold a little while after- ‘ward for a thousand pounds. This fact somehow reached the porter’s ears. He met Sir John’s brother-in-law at Kin- fauns one day and said excitedly: ““Mon, is’'t true that Sir Johu’s sold t'picture and got a thoosand poond for't?” “‘Yes, certainly,’ was the reply. “‘A thoosand poond! repeated the porter. ‘Why, mon, I wadna gi’en half a croon for’t” " Rotundity of Earth. ‘We are assured by competent au- thority that Thales of Miletus taught that the earth was of a globular form so0 early as 640 B. C. Pythagoras dem- onstrated from the varying altitudes of the stars that the earth must be round. Aristarchus of Samos main- tained that the earth turned on Its own axis and revolved about the sun, which doctrine was held by his con- temporaries as so absurd and revolting that the philosopher nearly lost his life B. C. 280. The wisdom of the an- clents was, of course, lost sight of in the darkness of the “middle ages,” and it took Galilei and Copernicus to re- store the old knowledge to the world.— New York American. Murder In Germany. Germany distinguishes between two kinds of murder—one, premeditated and intentional, is punishable by death; the second, intentlonal homicide with- out deliberation, is punishable by penal servitude for from five to fifteen years. Dueling in Germany is a misdemeano of a special kind. Who kills his oppo- nent in a duel is not charged with murder or manslaughter, but with dueling, the punishment for which Is detention in a fortress for fifteen years, —London Chronicle.

The old nag was jogging up the hill with the elopers. “Yes,” said the old nag, “it is rather tough pulling them up to the parson- age, but it will be easier coming back.” “How 807" queried the friendly goose at the roadside. “Why, can’t you see that after leav- ing the parsonage two will be made one?’—Chicago News.

Trials of Writers. George Eliot in one of her letters referring to her novel “‘Daniel Deron da,” writes as follows: “My bool seems to me so unlikely ever to be finished in a way that will make it worth while giving to the world thai it is a kind of glass in which I behold my infirmities.” Again of the same work, “As usual, 1 am suffering much from doubt as to the worth of what I am doing and fear lest I may not be able to complete it 0 as to make it a contribution to literature and not a mere addition to the heap of books.” Montesquieu wrote thus to a friend. “I thought I should have killed my- self these three months to finish a morcean (for his great work) which I wished to insert on the origin and revolutions of the civil laws of France, You will read it in three hours, but I do assure you that it cost me so much labor that it has whitened my hair.” The eminent modern French writet Gustave Flaubert suffered tortures in his efforts to attain perfection. When composing, he would sometimes spring to his feet, shriek aloud and call him- self “‘blockhead.” “idiot.” No soonei was one doubt removed than another arose. At other times he would sit at his writing table as one magnetized, lost in contemplation. His friend Tur- geneff declared that it was exceedingly touching to see his struggles with lan- guage. He would work a whole day and sometimes all night on a single page. Traps cf the Ant Lion. ‘We read of the tiger traps in India— great pits dug in the ground and cov- ered lightly with pliant bamboo. The tiger steps upon the false top and be- fore it can retreat is precipitated into a-trap. Walking along a sandy road. look for tiny circular pits sunk below the surface and then sit down and watch an exciting episode in the life of the little still hunter which has dug the pitfall. It is invisible, and for some time the whole affair seems life- less. Then an ant comes blundering along and without warning topples over the edge and begins to slide down the incline. But the inseect fights hard for life and seems about to make its escape, when, lo. the sand grains heave upward at the bottom and with.a jerk are hurled like a miniature catapult at the ant, knocking it over and rolling it to the bottom lion, for such it is, now prey and after sucking its 'es casts the dry body away and weals its pit against the coming of another victim. — Chicago Record-Herald. Sciont| Corner. Lord Kelvin was buried in West minster abbey in the spot which by analogy we might call scientists’ cor- ner, but it is such a very ugly phrase.

And yet, when one thinks of the poets. how many of them have opened up such wide spaces of jmaging Newton and Herschel, Da Kelvin?
