i Wife Worth Having. Herr Blumenthal, a director of th¢ Lessing theater in Berlin, once had|: great misgivings regarding the suo cess of his new piece, “Zum Weissen Rosse.” “If I had only 20 marks for -every thousand it will bring you I should e quite content,” said his wife. “All right, you shall have them,” re plled Herr Blumenthal. “Zum Weissen Rosse” (“White Horse Inn”) met with an immediate wuccess. Every night the Frau Di Tector went to the cashier and levied der 20 marks per thousand. On one occasion, after the piece had ~ She got them!—Tit-Bits. Ideal School Described. M. Augustin Rey, a Parisian archi tect, has described his ideal school in a recent paper. He said that the bene- ficial effects of the violet rays were so well known that it was criminal to build in such a way that they could not penetrate to every part of a room; it was doubly important that thig should be possible in schoolrooms. It there was a choice between heat, ven- tilation, and sunshine we should see that we had the sunshine first. His | building was so arranged that the ; classes should meet in the east rooms INOT IMPOSSIBLE - FOR HEfi Mrs. Mead Showed Her Husband How Easy It Was to Change Style of His Hat. ‘With narrowed eyes Mrs. Mead re- garded Mr. Mead’s soft hat, which he ‘was putting on preparatory to start- ing for his office. Mr. Mead dreaded that look; he knew what it méant, and he settled his hat anew, firmly, even a trifle defiantly. “You need a new hat,” Mrs. Mead began. “0, I don’t know,” Mr. Mead re- turned, feebly, taking off his hat and In the street she added, quietly, “There, Brnest, you see how ‘impos- sible’ it i -Youth’s Companion. Honorable Career Rewarded. Professor Luigi Pagliani, who repre- ‘sented the Italian government at the Congress of Hygiene and Demogra- phy, held in Washington recently, has returned home, after studying sanitary conditions in several large eastern cities. He is professor of hygiene and dean of the medical faculty of the University of Turin, and was founder of the first chair of hygiene in his country.

I don‘t know how ‘te! spare the time, but you can't go round with that thing on a minute longer.! It is positively disreputable.” Although there was no further open ! resistance from Mr. Mead, he made a mental reservation or two. If he got a hat, which he doubted, it would be a hat that suited him, one exactly like the hat he had on. They proceeded downtown in comparative silence. ‘When the first smart hat shop was| reached, Mrs. Mead marched in. “What are the latest styles in stift hats?” she demanded of the attentive clerk who flew to do her bidding, “Edith!” protested Mr. Mead, angrl 1y, “I tell you it i8 impog—" “Please,” pleaded Mrs. Mead, “don’t| make it appear as if you had a brow- ating wife!” Hat after hat, each stiffer than the last, was placed on Mr. Mead's unre- | sisting head, now by his own hands,| now by those of the clerk.

Not long ago, from the clay of a railway cutting near Spokane, Wash., there was taken a little bit of vege- table fiber—the leaf of a gingko tree which must have flourished something like 100,000 years ago. There are fossils of even greater age, of course, but this leaf is still a leaf, not a mere i imprint in stone; and it is undoubt- ; edly the oldest known bit of vegetable matter iti the world. The particular species to which it | belonged hecame extinet long ago: { its only surviving relative is the ging- ko tree of Japan. Its appearance at the point where it was found proves to geologists that it grew and fell when the Cascade and Coast Range mountairs had not yet been formed, and the Rockies themselves were young. Floating Farms of China. Like the wood merchants of northe ern Russia, who carty their wood on great rafts to Nijni-Novgorod, Kazan, pnd Astrakhan, the farmers of the up- per and central regions along the Yang-ste-Kiang construct rafs cov- srmg as much as twp acres of surface, and on the rafts they establish farms where produce grows. On these great floating farms are habitations for the’ men and stables for the animals, pig- pens, feed-barns, and storehouses well stocked with provisions. The ‘voyage to market is often one thou. sand miles, and to employ their time on the slow journey the dwellers on the rafts make baskets and many ob- Jects of household use. Arrived at their destination, they sell their prod- uce; take apart and sell the rafts, fnd return to their homes by the ways used by ordinary travelers.—Harper's Weekly.

When a set of one hundred has been reached a special premium of $25 will be given. Thus for one hundred subscriptions the society securing them will have received a cash gift og $125. If a club secures but seventy-five yearly subscriptions, it will receive $75; if but fifty yearly subscriptions, $50; and if only iten are secured a cash gift of $10 will be made. For one six months subscription to the Daily Pioneer, fifty cents will be paid, and for each additional six months subscriptions secured the rate will be paid the same. Thus, when two hundred of these six mouths subscriptions have been turned in an addi- tional gift of $25 will be given. A six months subscription tcounts just half of a yearly subscription for the Daily Pioneer. One yearly subscription to the Weekly Pioneer counts same as six months to the Daily, the only difference being the subserip- tion price which is $1.50 a year. The Daily for six months is $2 and the Daily for one year is $4. Free Premiums will be given to every subscriber.
