If a man doesn’t care to be his own boss he might as well marry. Lots of proud men take off their hats when they meet an ultimatum. Every widow who knows her business knows when a man means business. Somehow a compliment Is pleasing to a woman, even when she knows It Isn’t sincere. It’s surprising how brave the average man Is when there Isn’t any real danger in sight. There isn’t much philosophy in a man If It doesn’t get busy when he has occasion to visit a graveyard. A girl will forgive ~a young man Quicker for kissing her against her will than for not being interested enough to try. ========= When you are willing to go in debt for things you don’t need, just because your neighbor has them, it’s time to, stop.

The Japs have away of keeping to themselves, and It Is not probable that they will make an exception-for the benefit of Untie Sam’s agents. A startling Instance of mixing government and private business was exposed recently during a congressional Investigation, where ICwas shown that a secret service agent had been used to run down an erring spouse tp secure evidence for a divorce. Rabies developed recently In the pack 6f foxhounds belonging to a famous New England hunt club. There were fifty-two dogs and twenty-six puppies, the cheapest worth $25. Instead of risking the spread of the; disease, ■ the club had the whole jpack shot Such drastic remedies as’this, including the Quarantine of all dogs from foreign countries, have caused the disappearance of rabies in England. The officials of the British board of agriculture say that England is now the.only European country in which hydrophobia is impossible. ‘ . Six years ago the sword was abolished in the British army as the weapon of the unmounted officer. It was considered a useless weappn and a dangerous mark of distinction to reveal to the enemy’s sharpshooters. This year it has been restored, because experience showed that the enemy i could distinguish the officer by his position, and that In close conflict useful weapon; The restoration affects a much larger army than any that fights In the field, the army of minor poets, for whom the sword is the traditional symbol of warfare. ■ ■ 'V ■ """— J Legal phraseology Is to be reformed. Lest the reader, especially the unsophisticated layman, receive, too severe a shock, it should be stated at’once that this refers to France, not to the United States. It is In France that an Important legal reform has just been effected. The reform consists of simplification of the phraseology of processes, Writs and other documents sent out by the courts of jusjtlce. The minister of justice, Brland, an advanced reformer along social lines, Is the iconoclast who had the courage to attack the sacred jargon of jurisprudence, Intended to mystify and overawe all but the experts. Brland, on conceiving the idea of simplification, of abandoning meaningless and antiquated formulas and verbiage, felt that the legal world ought to be consulted. A referendum of an informal kind was arranged, and out of 385 replies 727 were- favorable to a change. A commission prepared the proper substitutes, which are said to be clear and intelligible, and Brland ha* directed the Couxts of Appeal to

make and enforce the substitution. If modern French Is good enough for science, literature, politics, business and polite conversation, ft Is good enough for law and Its Instruments. The motion that precision requires clumsy turns, repetitions ad nauseum, superannuated words and idioms, and so on, Is too ludicrous to be entertained seriously by anyone who takes the trouble to give the matter a moment’s thought. Now, why Is not the reform just as desirable here as It Is In France? Why do not American lawyers agitate for simplification and rationalization of legal phraseology? One of the most terrible arraignments of women which the world has ever known was made by Dickens, probably without much consciousness of the violence of his attack, when he created his whole class of nagging women. These women are to. be found In every one of his novels. A list, of them would Include Mrs. Wilfer, Mrs. Varden, Mrs. Podsnap, Mrs. Gummidge, Miss Squeers. and—’ mes of ill omen!—Mrs. Sowerberyy, Mrs. Mc„Stinger, Mrs. Snagsby and Miss Knag. It is a testimony to the grim acceptance of their type by the world that we can laugh at them. They are generally indulged and excused by their men-folk and feared by their children. They are caricatures, no doubt, but tike most caricatures which survive the moment, they bear a vital relation to fact. Education helps' to discourage and abolish the nagging woman. She still exists, however, although she is now driven to apologize for herself. She talks effectively of the tyranny of her nerves, of the wear and tear of social and domestic life, and especially of the inescapable sway of temperament. In point of facts her miseries and those of her friends are due to temper rather than to. temperament. The fault Is not In her, stars, but in herself, that she is altogether detestable. Neither argument nor grace seems able to save her. A Yankee farmer, the victim for forty years of his wife’s tongue and temper, put the thing In a nutshell with the wit and the frankness for which his kind are famous. He had listened half an hour tp her abusive talk, without a word in reply. Finally he left his favorite seat' by the fire, fairly driven out by the storm within. , As he went, he flung over his shoulder his final judgment: “Salrey, there’s that in ye that nothin’ but the ground’ll ever take out !” TAEj&niLY Wtorl —* — -jChlorosis. This Is a peculiar form of, anemia which occurs in young women, generally between the ages of fifteen and twenty. If It is found after the age pf twenty-five it is a relapse from a former attack. It is characterized by a yellowish gr°en tint of the skin, and from this it receives Its name. In any case of anemia where there is a doubt of the. diagnosis, an examination of the blood itself will soon settle the quesHotfT ■ • The blood of the chlorotic patient will invariably be deficient In hemoglobin, which Is the coloring matter of the red corpuscles and the carrier of oxygen to the system. While in other forms of anemia the red corpuscles may be found greatly- decreased in quantity, in chlorosis they will be “found in sufficient number, but poor in quality. As it is the hemoglobin in the blood which enables one to breathe, it follows as a matter of course that any deficiency in it will affect the breathing power, and therefore the supply .of necessary oxygen which comes to the system. The chlorotic patient therefore lives in continued bad air wherever she is, and her whole system suffers accordingly. The whole muscular system of course suffers, because muscular force is in direct ratio to the amount of oxygen taken in. The heart muscle will be weak and irritable; and there-will be a sense of breathlessness and probably palpitation following any exertion. As the entire system of muscles is affected, there will. naturally be a sense of fatigue and lassitude, with pain at the base of the neck and In the small of the back. The peculiar cplor Is absent In certain cases, although, it may declare itself on the backs of the hands and on the ears or the chest, when it is not noticeable on the face except as an ordinary pallor. Another symptom that will usually be found in the sufferer from chlorosis is puffiness of the face and swelling of the ankles. There may also be a persistent dry cough, worse at night, or coming on after long talking. As to the. treatment of this condition, Iron iri some form or another may be said to be a specific, but must, of course, be regulated by the physician In charge, both as to the form of Iron to be taken and the quantity. There should be careful attention to general hygiene. Plenty of time should be spent in the open air, but fatiguing exercise should not be attempted until the muscles have regained their tone, and common sense should be exercised as to hours of study, diet and sleep.—Touth’s Companion.

Perhaps the most superstitious class of people in the United States are the otherwise hard-headed, keen-witted railroad men. They are fatalists by circumstances of a life of constant danger. Death is a eomtnonplace; accident and Injury all in the day’s work and line of duty. Contempt of death, akin to that of the fanatic Mussulman, but without the allurement of the black-eyed houri paradise, is bred by familiarity, the never-ending risk of life and limb, as told in the grim statistics of railroad Many bloody campaigns of great wars show fewer casualties than the annual death and accident report of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This makes life cheap and its risk and sacrifice .for so much per diem an incident. The railroad man lives in an atmosphere of the fatal chance and nerve-teasing uncertainty. Death may be speeding toward him and around the curve ahead; the next pounding of the massive drivers may strike a broken rail; the tower signal man makes his awful errors in an almost unvarying average; the landslide and the tampered switch are entirely beyond prevision. And it is this dominancy of chance, of the unprevised, the unexpected, the unforeseen, utterly baffling human ingenuity, that makes, the average railroad man as superstitious!}- fatalistic as a whirling dervish or a warrior .of the Mad Mullah. Tins environment of the fatal chance, emphasizing human futility and powerlessness, creates a rich soil for omen, charm and fetich, and few railroad men can be found who are not inoculated with the virus of protecting superstition. Press them closely, and seven out of ten will confess it in a half shame-faced, half defiant way. For Instance, it is considered most unlucky among engineers to take an engine out for its first run Friday or on that fatal day to put the finishing touches to it in the shop. Trainmen, particularly brakemen of the old school, believe it is bad luck if

MOUNTED NURSES. They May Become a Feature of the EiiK'liMh Army. Army nursing may be revolutionized as the result of a course of training instituted at the North London Riding School, where the Islington Drill Brigade' Girls' Yeomanry, twentyffive strong, is showing what mounted horses could do in the field. The innovation will be brought unofficially to the'notice of the British military department at the next annual Show of the navy and army, and it is believed the army medical corps will give the idea more than passing consideration. The. work of the girls’ brigade is a revelation to every army\>fficer \yho Witnesses it. They are trained to all the arts of nursing before being advanced to the brigade service. In this their work is to bind up the wojunds of any soldier found helpless in the field, hoist him LjWw NUBSE AND WOUNDED SOLDIEB. upon their horses and ride with him to the field hospital. All this they do in their regular drills with surprising proficiency. Army officers are already discussing the practicability of the plan. The most reasonable objection urged Is the question of being able to mount nurses where every available horse Is needed for fighting and transport work. Most of the officers admit that the women a

a woman is the first to enter the train at the beginning of the trip. They will resort to ruse or diplomacy to avert such an Invitation, of accident. They will stop a woman with slow inquiries abbut her ticket or destinatloh in order that a masculine foot will be the first to ascend the steps. It is also considered bad luck for the train to permit a cripple or a hunchback to enter first. A one-armed man among passengers upon a train is also viewed with suspicion as an omen of accident.’ Sometimes a careless fireman will let the engine bell toll. Such an untoward accident means that some member of the engineer’s family will soon die. Old time engineers will not count the number of cars in a train as it rounds a curve. It is considered bad luck. As would naturally be expected from the wide prevalence of the number 3 superstition, it occupies an important place among railroad men’s omens. It is the firm conviction of almost all railroad men that when one man is killed or'lnjured in railroad work two other fatalities or accidents will follow in rapid succession. It is considered unlucky, before two or three days have elapsed, for a railroad man to take the of another who. has, been killed in 'an accident. • Engineers see an omen of death upon the trip if the headlight of their engine 1 accidentally goes out as the engine is leaving the roundhouse. A left-handed engineer is viewed as a hoodoo by many trainmen. It is believed his presence in the cab invites disaster, and old-time firemen and brakemen seek transfer to other trains as soon as a left-handed engineer is put on their run. Trainmen dislike the presence of a corpse in the baggage or express cars, just as sailors object to carrying a corpse on board ship. But It Is considered particularly threatening to load The coffin oh a train with the feet of the dead person toward the engine. In a recent wreck in North Carolina a corpse | was almost incinerated and many persons were killed. It is the firm belief of trainmen on the South-

would be invaluable if they could be equipped and so maintained. Admittedly it would be out of the question to have such a mounted nurse corps in desert fighting, such as English troops are frequently required to engage in, but on European battlefields there is no reason why they could not be used to distinct advantage. The Islington brigade has been officially invited to attend the next military tournament, and it is by no means Improbable that they may ultimately be the nucleus of similar corps throughout the army. COAST ABOUNDS Pacific Region Will in Time Supi>ly file Whole Country, The extensive coast line of the territory seems everywhere abundant with halibut, which has become almost a luxury in the East. There the fishing is done at great hazard and at tong distances from markets, while in Alaska the fisherman leaves his home in the morning and returns in the evening with the fruits of his labor. A little off the coast of Alaska and in many places among the numerous islands along the shores there exists great cod banks. These are little known and while they are now fished to some extent It might be said the industry is wholly in its infancy. When we consider the enormous extent of these banks as compared with those off the New England coast and the very few fish now taken on them as compared with the large numbers taken on the Atlantic' It can readily be seen to what an extent this fishery can also be expanded. Here also the element of safety is greatly In favor of the Industry on the Pacific coast. At present, In a small way, both halibut and cod are shipped clear across the continent

ern that the body was loaded in the fete defying way. But the railroad man is not alone in his belief in omens and charms.. The passenger also has a pet lot of superstitions that defy logic and the persuasion of common sense. The belief that the wearing of a white flower or a white ribbon protects travelers, from accident is fairly widespread. Some believe that burning coffee just before leaving bn a journey is better than an accident policy, and in certain sections of the South some very pious people will not under- ! take a railroad trip without first tying a copy of the sixteenth psalm under the left armpit. Putting a wisp of straw in the bottom of the trunk is believed not only to protect the baggage from loss, but also insure the safety of the owner. ’ Women sometimes pack their Stockings in the trunk in a mystic circle, as a protection from accident. There is a superstition that it Is unlucky to lock the trunk before it leaves the house, and with more apparent reason, it is particularly portentous if the trunk lid falls upon you while you are packing. If a traveler loses his hat out of a car window there is compensation in the knowledge-that it means good news from home. If a passenger happens to pass a derailed or wrecked locomotive, : It is the sign ’that he soon is to come into possession of hidden wealth. To see a crow feeding on a carcass is another lucky omen for a traveler. If dust blows in a person’s eye'while on his way to catch a train it is a sign of accident oh the trip. It is considered an ominous encounter for a person hurrying to a train to meet a spectaclewearing negro. It is also unlucky for a traveler to cut his finger nails just before starting on a Journey ; disgrace will overtake him, a;id if a traveler leaves home in a carriage for the station it. is simply inviting disaster for hit family or friends to watch him out of sight. Tp insure the safe return of a nervous traveler it is only necessary* to tie an Irish knot in his handkerchief, but if he loses the knotted piece of linen he had better end his misery by immediate suicide.' Here is an incantation which Pullman conductors declare will insure slumber on a sleeping car to even chronic Insomniacs. if repeated several times with the eyes focused on the tip of the nose: “A sleeper is that on which the sleeper which carries the sleeper runs; therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper Into the sleeper which carries the sleeper, and jumps off the sleeper by striking the sleeper in"the sleeper, and there is no sleeper in the sleeper.”

The extent to which this part of the industry has grown is more faffiiliar to the world than any other. During the last few years the fresh fish industry has made inroads even on the cannery supply and mild cured salmon is now being shipped all the way to Germany for smoking. During the last winter buyers from German houses in Hamburg have appeared in Alaska towns and eagerly taken all the product they could secure. This is but a- beginning, and development in time in the way of improved means of transportation will extend the shipping of salmon fresh ■ from the waters of Alaska to all parts of the world.—Pacific Coast Monthly. ‘ All Id One. “You’ve read his novel.

REVIEW OF INDIANA

Within the past two months five suicides have occurred in Huntington County. Fire destroyed the poultryhouse owned by R. W. Akins, of Carlisle, causing $4,000 loss, with limited insurance. Roy Parkinson, a young Noble County farmer near High Lake, says he has killed twetny-three rattlesnakes this year. , The rest room for women provided in the court house at Warsaw has proven so popular that similar quarters, will be established in the building for men. i ® While a storm was raging, Williard Bell, a wealthy Kentucky farmer, opposite Madison, took refuge under a tree, and both he and his horses were killed by an electric bolt. While near a cage containing several wolves belonging to a traveling show, Robert Rosella, of Bedford, 14 years old, w&s grabbed by one of the animals and his arm was frightfully bitten. The most valuable find reported in the Southern Indiana-Illinois pearl fisheries field this season was made by Fred Chapel in the Wabash river a short distance above Mt. Carmel, 111. The pearl is valued at SI,OOO. Charles York, a 13-year-old lad at DeCatur, was kicked by a vicious horse and was critically hurt. The animal’s hoof landed below the boy’s heart. Two of his ribs were broken and one arm painfully mutilated., Mrs. R. S. Padgett, of Marion, was immeasurably surprised a few days ago when J. W. Sanders, a brother who disappeared from their home at Danville, 111., thirty years ago, apd was presumed to be dead, turned up alive and well at Marion. , There is much mystery about the serious injuries received by Oren Fuller, wffio was found unconscious in the road near Hartford City.- He is suffering with concussion of the brain. Fuller was driving home in his buggy and is unable to tell how he was injured. The remnants of a corduroy road laid through Mishawaka and South Bend over seventy'yeafs ago were discovered at Mishawaka by workmen Who were excavating fbr a sewer. The road was eight feet beloW the present street level and the logs were in excellent condition. The prosecuting attorney has caused the arrest of tobacco merchants in Shelburn, for selling tobacco with coupons attached, good for cigarette paper. The merchants will contest on the ground that they are not giving nor selling cigarette paper, pleading that the coupons have to be sent to the factories to be honored. . While making a professional call Dr. G. W. Pirtle, of Carlisle, ran his automobile off a bridge. The bridge had sunk on one side, and the floor was wet, and when his machine began skidding he turned too abruptly and went off on the other sids The machine w r as badly damaged in the fall, but Dr. Pirtle and his little son escaped without serious hurt. Mr. and Mrs. James K. Sharp, of Charleston, completed fifty-nine years of married life last week; but a celebration was deferred till August, that all the family might join. Mrs. Sharp is a sister of the late Judge Charles P.. Ferguson,'and is a daughter of a pioneer jurist of the county. Her ’husband was a former member of the family of Jonathan Jennings, and Dr. Harry Sharp, physician at the Indiana Reformatory, is a son. » While visiting on the farm of a relative near Cteal Springs, 111., last week Thomas J. Cooper, of Princeton, witnessed the finding! of an aged coin, which is believed to have been lost by Ponce de Leon in, his search for the “fountain of youth.” The coin is of silver, seemingly, and is somewhat larger than a United States silver dollar. It is believed to be an old Spanish coin, and the theory is advanced that it was lost by Ponce de Leon, who. it is thought, believed that Creal Springs was the perpetual youth fountain. / . « Occupying a conspicuous place on a wall in the clothing store of Marcus Phillipson at Warsaw is a hand-paint-ed sign by James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, and which sign is highly prized by the owner, i The lettering was done in 1872, when Mr. Riley spent several weeks in Warsaw doing similar wmrk. This particular sign was placed aside and for ten years reposed among the rubbish in the basement. At last it was found by Mr. Phillipson, who gave it a place on the wall of his store. Mr. Riley was in Warsaw abbut a year or so ago and stepping into the Phillipson store he noticed the sign and commented upon his work of other days. While the proprietor was sitting not more than ten feet away, a nervy thief entered the Tilman restaurant at Wabash, opened the safe door and got away with about S2OO. There is no clue. A dog owned by John N. mile south of Columbia City, went mad recently and attacked Mrs. Beeson, who took refuge In the house. Later the vicious animal was killed by a Columbia City man who chanced to be driving past the home. %

Huntington wants the Government to erect a postoffice building in that city. George Harvey, the 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jessie V. C<sx, of Elwood, drank concentrated lye, and is so badly injured that his lite is despaired of. \ John Allcorn, farmer, sueing his neighbor, William Riley, for $2,Q00 for alienation of. his wife’s affections, was by a jury in- Princeton awarded one cent-. He will appeal. A knife wielded by Albert Bayless cut a big gash in Cassius McCains - hand during a fight at Waldron. The trouble began on a west-bound interur- . ban car, Bayless asserting that McCain' owed hinr 50 Cents. Raymond Anthony, 8 years old, son of Alice Anthony, now in Terre Haute, shot Hugh Fowler in the shoulder, the . bullet ranging downward and making a serious wound. The« Tad asserts the , shooting was accidehta.l. He has been sent to his mother at Terre Haute. ' Mrs. L. A. Anthony, a mute, gave a surprise party at her home in Wabash, in honor of her birthday. Thirty mutes were present from ‘Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Huntington and pern. Devotional services were held, the guests singing religious songs in the sign lan-; guage. The saloon in Shelbyville owned by ■ Roy; and Earl Vanarsdall was entered , by burglars and the cash.register was robbed of $78.40. Entrance was effected by climbing to the roof and descending through the skylight. The burglar overlooked checks calling for 1 $24 and a $5 bill. Brooding over blindness, which befell him six months ago, William Wycke, a retired lumberman, 65. years old, jresiding just outside the city of Vincennes, barricaded himself in his bedroom and committed suicide by mutilating himself in a most horrible manner. His son, William Wycke, finding the door locked, peeped through the window and saw him lying on the floor. Patoka river, pearls j have i.een brought to Oakland City jewele found to be of excellent qu: Uty : the most valuable one selling for $:! r).

Bossing scrambled to his feet, and tried to defend hNnself wtih an ax, but the bird renetlted the attack so quickly that he was again knocked down. Blood streamed from his face, partially blinding him, and he was fast losing strength when his dog took part in the battle, detracting the hind's attention. Bossing then seized a club, and a well- j directed blow disabled the eagle, and ’ it was killed with no further difficulty. The eagle measured almost five feet from tip to tip. Inviting the brothers in his lodge together around him, Joseph Sandlin, a charter member of the Red Men, at Advance,, climbed into a coffin which he had made to his order, stretched himself out as he will lie When he is dead, crossed his hands over his breast, and bade them pass around and view him. Mr. Sandlin is a veteran of the Civil War, being a member of the Eleventh Indiana Infantry, and is eccentriq. He is years ‘old. Mr. Sandlin made a coffin of the best yellow, poplar, superior in workmanship and quality, and bought a lot in a cemetery, am} he has placed a monument over the spot where he desires to be buried. He left the coffin jn the care of the lodge, inside of which he placed written instructions as to funeral arrangements. Estimates of population, based on five persons to a family, were once regarded as reliable, but a census of the thirteen rural routes leading out from the Columbus postoffice shows that this kind of estimate will not do any more; On these thirteen routes 1,378 families live, with a total population of s,3o3’people. This shows that the average family is composed of-3.8 persons. The largest families are found on route No. 5. The total population on this route is 410 and the total number of families is 84, making an average of 4.8 persons to the family. The smallest families are to be found on route No. 10, where 96 families, making a total of 329 persons, only shows an aver- , age of 3.4 persons to the family. This showing is regarded all the more remarkable in view ofrthe fact that every family counted is that of a farmer, and farmers are generally supposed to have larger families than residents of cities and towns. James A. Tsgrigg, one of the oldest lumber dealers in Indianapolis, died laS week at his home on North Senate avenue. He was born near Cincinnati in 1830, and was in business In Indianapolis for many years. , Lloyd W. Wood, of Elkhart, known in Angola when a boy going to school at Silver Lake, in 1892, ran a piece of a lamp chimney into his right foot. Last week he went to Dr. Short, of Elkhart, who picked ofit a piece of glass as big as a half penny.
