JenKts Lloyd Jones, of Chicage, Saye Bhey Need Training in Housekeeping. “A girl who cannot make and aa Ave. Price | bread, compound a pudding and wash and iron her own shirt waist is a fraud upon young American womanhood,” declared Rev, Jenkin Lloyd Jones be- | fore the National Housewives’ asso- | “Aud you, moth- { , ers and housewives, are to blame for the common feeling of your daughters ; against kitchen service. Why, condi- i tions have reached the stage that an American born girl would rather work in a store or factory than in a home, doing housework. “This servant girl question is be- coming more vital than trusts, tariff or-anything else in the nation’s cate- gory of unsettled things. It affeets the home and family, the most sacred institutions in the land, and has much to do with the unhappiness of the na- tion. Every girl ought to have lessons in home-making; she ought to be proud of her housekeeping abilities; she ought to glorify kitchen work, not scorn it, How many men there are who are proud of having begun as a day laborer? But who ever heard of & woman boasting of having begun life as a dishwasher or kitchen-girl? And why is the difference, pray? This idea that kitchen work is menial must be corrected and the lessons must begin at home, in every home.” The speaker further expressed him- self in favor of a large school of do- mestic science for girls to offset the manual training schools for boys. He said he knew pf persons, of whom he was one, who stand ready to establish such a school in Chicago as soon as there is a demand forit from the wom- en of the city. OFFICIAL STATUS OF MULE. | | Missouri! Court: Decides He Is Treacherous aud Vicious Ani- mal and Not to Be Truated. The western Missouri court of ap- peals has decided that a mule is a treacherous and vicious animal, and that so well known is this fact that if a workman is injured because of those traits of disposition in the mule, the employer cannot plead ignorance of the mule’s nature as a defense. This decision was made in the case of Pete Borden against the Falk Con- struction company. Borden worked for the company. He went beneath a heavy machine on wheels to hook a chain, to the machine, and while Borden was beneath it the driver of the mules was ordered by the superintendent to go beneath the machine to help Borden, Thereupon the mules started and one of the wheels ran over Borden's foot and crushed it. He sued:the Falk A 1 spon Ck mules wom Lites |He is accompanied in this latest, ef- company and obtained judgment that was affirmed by the court of appeals, which says: “The mule is a domestic animal, whose treacherous and vicious nature is so generally known that even courts may take notice of it. The company cannot be heard to claim thatit did not know of the treacherous and unre- liable qualities of this animal. It seems to us that the defendant wag guilty of grossest negligence in order- ing the teamster to assist Borden. Any man of ordinary prudence, under such circumstances, would have not only placed himself in front of the mules, but he would with his hands have firmly grappled and held the bridle bits of each of them.” THE NEW ARCHBISHOP. Intereating Talk About Dr. Randall Thomas Davidson, Successor to Dr. Temple. Dr. Randall Thomas Davidson, the new archbishop of Canterbury, says the New York Tribune's London cor- respondent, is a comparatively young man, and like his predecessor, an ardent temperance refermer; where- as, however, Dr. Temple was rugged and austere, Dr. Davidson has always been courtly and urbane, and while Dr. Temple was a schoolmaster, Dr. Davidson brings to bear upon the great work which lies before him ex- perience gained wholly within the church. Dr. Davidson, it is under- stood, would have declined the arch- bishopric had not the king person- ally requested him t6 accept the place. His translation f¥o#i. Win- chester to Canterbury will mean an increase of salary from £6,500 to £15,000. There are now two vacant bishoprics—Winchester and St. Al- bans. PEARY WILLING TO TRY ‘AGAIN.

Friction and Unpleasantness Devel- ops in the British Army. Officers Whe Have Won Their Com- missions from the Ranka Com- Plain of Grossly Untair Treatment. When the South African republie of- fered opportunities to the men from the ranks and from the auxiliary and colonial forces to obtain Commissions as the reward for distinguished serv- ice the British nation applauded. To- flay one hears strange stories how these men, who served their country well,are— being snubbed amt” black- balled because they lack the social hall-mark obtained by entering the army through Sandhurst. One officer complains that no one will associate with him in his mess. His presence at table is tolerated with the scantiest of meals. He threatened to make a statement in writing to the authorities, since in addition to this treatment the regimental expensesare being forced up with the object of driving him out of the corps, This snobbery occurs among officers who are in the main drawn from mid- dle classes and who entered the army merely to obtain the social status which the king's commission bestows. Manyof the men who complain are of the class known as “born soldiers,” with whom it was hoped to stiffen the somewhat flabby ranks of some of the corps. But the fact that they have won their commissions from the ranks by dis- tinction in war is proving a bar to their advancement. Money on the one hand and social qualifications on the other are strengthening their forces to keep the army a close preserve, for which ‘ brains alone are a disqualification. In the cavalry, for instance, the inspector general has drawn attention to the fact. that one of the chief attractions of the service in India is polo, PRESIDENT A TREE CHOPPER. The Mystery of the Executive's Visits to the Forest la at Laat Explained. The mystery of President Roose- velt’s visits to a forest near Tennally- ; town was cleared up the other day. He goes out there during the early morning and spends an hour wielding an ax against the trees of the forest, fort to rid himself of his surplus ener- gy by Gifford Pinchot, forester of the department of agriculture. The forest near Tennallytown be- longs to the Dutch Reformed church which President Roosevelt attends. The trees on the land are so close to- gether that they do not have a chance to grow and the trustees of the church determined to thin them out. They asked President Roosevelt to request Forester Pinchot to visit the land and mark the trees which should be re- moved. The president replied that he would attend to the matter, so he noti- fied Mr. Pinchot to be on hand early in the morning with a couple of axes. The president and the forester after deciding that a tree should be re- moved proceeded to remove it. Fully 50 large trees have been felled by the presidential ax. HELEN GOULD PRAISES MEN. Says That Their Chivalry and Self- Sacrifice Should Be Appreci- ated by Women. In connection with the golden jubi- lee of the local branch of the Y. M. @. A. at Washington, the National Auxil- jary of that organizaiion heid a meet- ing at the home of ex- etary of State Joh: W. Foster, Miss Helen Gouid spol. of the work i: New York and Brooklyn and urged that the auxiliary establish a branch at every army post and naval station, She said that the privileges, oppor tunity and protection accorded to women in the United States, such as are accorded nowhere else in the world, came through the chivalry and ardent self-sacrificing labor of the men of the United States and that it is peculiarly appropriate that the wom- en of the country should show their appreciation by devoting some of their time and thought to movements that benefit men. Ex-Secretary Foster spoke of the fruitsess efforts of some scientists to disprove Christian doctrines. A num- ber of other addresses were made, WILL TRY FOR NORTH POLE. William H.

Forty-eight Kokomo and Howard County (Ind.) girls are making pre- parations to start to Rugby, N. D., to become wives of men they have never seen, Several weeks ago J. R. Walters, formerly of Kokomo, now a resident of North Dakota, wrote # letter to a Kokomo paper stating that there were 500 bachelors near Rugby wanting wives. As a result Walters received nearly 100 letters from young women of Kokomo offering to go there and marry their share of the lonely bachelors. The names of the women were given the Dakota men, and corres- pondence was opened, the young wo- men being willing to take chances on securing good husbands with quarter sections of land. The girls are making preparations for the journey, and will go in a body if rates can be secured. The letter that caused this matrimony hegira reads: “Yes, it is true we have 500 bach- elors here who want wives, and want them badly, They all own land, and 500 girls can find husbands. I have received 48 letters from Kokomo girls and have husbands ready for all of them. Part of these 500 bachelors cannot talk English, Some are Rus- sians, Turks, Danes, Germans, but mostly Americans, get first choice of husbands, They are all nice fellows and good work- ers,” Mr. Walters, the writer of the above letter, is a thoroughly reliable man, and his statement can be dbtpended upon as truthful. He is well known at Kokomo, The girls, knowing him to be reliable and trustworthy, have accepted his offer to procure them good, thrifty husbands, and will leave in a short time to be introduced to their husbands and the quarter sec- tions of land in the Dakotas. HAS BAND OF TRAINED RATS. Jemey Boy of Fifteen Has Taught the Rodents Some Remark- able Tricks. William D, Crawford, 15 penne) old, and living near Lake Hopatcong, N. J., has a band of remarkablerats, whic h he has trained after six months of hard work. The first rat was captured ina cage, Tt was trained after a week of patient work so that it would eat food from the boy's hand. The rat..which was named Scipio, was then released with a smal] bell around its neck, on the chance that it would return, For ten days the family heard the bell jingling among the rafters. Then Scipio returned with three other rats, who had presumably been persuaded after listening to the arguments of the former captive. After running about for three hours they finally ate food from the boy’s hand under the leadership of Scipio. ‘The work of training then began. The other rats were then named Bismarck, Gladstone and Li Hung Chang. Each has an apartment in a eage. At the boy's call each rat will respond to his name, coming forth from the cage with a flag of the na- tion represented. They form in line and go through military evolutions in sharp time, Then a battle follows, Each rat is arm: d with a stick, and at the command of Scipio, who acts as referee, they fight sham battles, Bismarck first engagts Gladstone, until the latter rec:ives a thump on the head and falls as if dead. Then Scipio battles with Li Hung Chang un- til the latter runs. HORSE-MEAT BANQUET. Berlin Society Gives Unique Dinner and Seeks to Show Equine Flesh ls Nourishing. Six hundred people sat down at Ber- lin the other night to the most remark- able banquet that ever has been given in Berlin, The dishes consisted en- tirely-of horse meat, and were served in various forms, The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals is- sued the invitations to dinner, which wae given for the purpose of demon- the nourisl:ing and palatable qualities of horse meat, thereby caus-| ing increased consumption of the meat and.a ready market for old horses, This would prevent owners.from work- ing the poor animals to death, as well- ted specimens would bring good prices. The bill of fare consisted of horse soup, pickled horse tongue, filet of horse, and roast horse. All of the dishes were nicely prepared and were greatly relished. The presiding officer of the society, Privy Councilor von Seo- feld, said 30,000 horses had been eaten in Berlin last year, and that he hoped for a large increase in the future. Many prominent members of the reich- stag and of the city council were pres- ent at the ‘banquet. Beaconsfield’s Diplomacy.

A MODERN WILLIAM TELL. Virginia Youth Suspended from Tree Limb Is Saved by Shooting of the Limb in Two, William Tell, with variations, was enacted at Roxbury, Va., the other day when Henry Wilkins, a boy, was saved by precise marksmanship. The boy climbed a tree to get a squirre) that had been shot by a hunter. He fell and might have been killed but for a spur limb that penetrated his treusers and left him hanging head and feet down. A council of war was held among the hunters as to the best way to get the boy down, and Mr. Wilkins suggested that, as the limb was small, he would shoot it in two at the base while two young men stood at the bottom to catch the boy. This the boy at first refused for want of faith in the hunter's aim, but the shot was finally fired, the limb was cut, the boy fell into the arms of the hunters, and, al- though all went to the ground to- gether, no one was much hurt.
