WIFE

The Gold Hill NeWs makes the fol-
lowing suggestion in regard to the
practice OF wife beating, and tho man
ner in which offenders of that kind
should be punished:
Some two weeks ago a woman named

in New York. shot aud killed her hus-
baud while he was in the ac of beating
her. On the 9TH instant "A man named
Kavanaugh attempted 10 beat his wife
ut Ruby Hill. The woman promptly
sent "A bali through his body. In III $
case, however. the wonnd Will not
prove fatal. The report SAYS that Kav
anau.h is in Jail. but that public =, IN
patty is ~ greatly in favor nf the wife
thai no attempt to arrest her has been
mahee
While we consider the wife heater a.
a brute, and m which should be sub
jacted 10 The sane punishment which
we inhict on brutes, we cannot advo
cate their indi>crimin ate shooting by

perhaps, II a woman, seeing thai she
has no adequate profession afforded
her by law, should take extreme meas
ures To protect herself. Still. she has
no right Ia violate the law in doing so.

duced by PhiIipA Roach in California.

The First Year Of the Century.

A GENTLEMAN born on the 5th Of Feb.
ruary, 1925, which quarter of the present
century was he born in?n The B0s]dn
Journal elucidates the point thus "A
the year 1900 was the first year Of ~
century, 1901 the second, and 1902 TIE
third, and so On, it follows that the yee4
1924 was the twenty fifth year Of the cea:
tury, thus winding up the first quarter q
the century with Dec. 81, 1924" Pr
contra, was 1.-THE year 1900 the first Of tho
century" Suppose the present century
to have been the first in the history ofthe
era-then what should we call the year
corresponding to 1900, as reckoned abovef
We couldn't call it nothing, and say thst
man, for instance, was born on the 81
OF January, o." The first year, then,
would be the year /, and the year 2 would
be the second year, and the year IS would
be the 25th year, thus winding up the mrs
quarter of the century. Hence the year
100 would be needed to complete The
century, and, by the same reasoning
following down the flight OF time-the
year 1900 would be needed to complies
the eighteenth century, so that the year
1901 would really be the beginning q
this century, and the year 1925 would tall
within the first quarter of the century.
Here are two sides OF this question.-Nss

Quick Ears.

IT is sometimes surprising to see how
animals learn to pick out the sound in
which they take an interest from the
thousand noises of the city. In Paris a
man who goes about with cheap meat for
the cats rings bell as he approaches the
house of = customer. Long before the
members of the household detect the
sound pussy will spring to the door, and
with eager looks await the arrival of her
benefactor; for, as she has no ideas of trade
she can only look on the "cat-meat man.
as true philanthropist. She can always
pick out his voice and tone amidst the tlr-
moil of the busy street.
A gentleman away in a Western seaport
was down on the wharf one day, when he
saw dog spring up and prance about in
a very joyful manner. He could see no
reason for the excitement; but a by
stander explained: "That is Mr.. Fairy's
dog. He is mate on board the Alexan-
dria, and as soon as the dog hears the
whistle of that boat he knows it, and
goes for it."
Sure enough, the dog started off at full
speed for the dock where the vessel stopped ;
and as soon as it touched the wharf
he boarded it, and sprang to meet his be-
loved master. The owner of such faith
full dog ought certainly to be good mas
ter. To most people the whistle of one
steamboat was much like another. but
this shaggy fellow had learned the exact
tone OF the one tor which he watched and
waited.
1t is still more wonderful that dogs. and
perhaps some other animals, seem to un-
derstand conversation sometimes, and act
upon the hints they get in this way.
A clever little fellow, who always liked
TO ride with folks, but was often shut up
at home, was sitting in the breakfast-room
one morning, when the family planned to
go to town that day.
Shall you go with the single or the
double team, father!" asked one.
with the double team" was the re-
ply.
Shortly after Dash disappeared, and
nothing was seen of him until the party
had got some four miles on their way.
when he meekly crawled out from under
the back seat, and wagged his tail in
way that seemed TO say: ..'You certainly
can't send me back, now have got 50
far" He seemed to know which sleigh
to hide in, and could only have learned
from the conversation .-Luthsran o.

The wooden ship rat is q more complex

1t consists of box in which are placed a
pair OF vertical cylinders, one at each end
OF the box and spaced about five feet apart.

est to it. The consequence is that as the
ship rolls the water alternately QUITS and
returns to the vertical cylinders, and, act
ing FIRST on one side of the piston and then
the other, communicates reciprocating
motion to the piston-rod. This motion
Is converted into rotary motion at the
weighted auger, and in time a hole il

lore the seat OF the leak is discovered.
Provision is made for the release of he

and the resistance to it removed. when IL

the hole Is not plugged by the auger. ard
the ends OF villainy are successful. Should
the hole be discovered and the box be ex
amlned, there is nothing in it, except to a
professional eye, to show how the hole
was produced. Like the iron-ship rat, the
