q Husbands Lowe

The Laramie Boomerang humorous
ly but truthfully says: 1t is easy
enough to win a husband. Most any
attractive little dumping with n
bright eye and cooling voice can gather
in noble husband, but it is pretty
difficult to retain him. Noble hus-
bands are thicker than the hair on a dog.
but the grand difficulty is to draw out
their true nobility and secure it at
home. Most men like to be loved and
soOthed. There is something in the
mans great, rough, earnest nature
that can be won quicker and easier
with gentleness and pie than by the
logic of the broom-handle and bilious
course of reasoning with bread and
milk diet.
We have seen a girl who understood
her business take a reformed road
agent by the nose, so to speak. and
lead him through life in such a way
that he wouldn't know but that he was
boss of the ranch. So perfect was the
delusion, that when she asked him to
bring in a scuttle of coal, or to get up
in his night shirt and kill burglar,
that he knew was nothing but bob tail.
ed cow four blocks away, he always went,
and he felt as though he counted it a
mark of special favor that a poor un-
worthy worm of the dust, like him.
should be sought out and delegated to
go and chase lame cow across nine
vacant lots with an old barrel stave
and clothed in nothing but a little
brief authority and a knit undershirt.
We cannot exactly describe this
magic power of devoted wife over
her husband, and we do not intend to
try it. 1t is an unseen motive, a name.
less leverage that makes the husband
get up in the dead hour Of the night
and set the pan cake batter nearer the
parlor stove.
A man need not think that because
he gets up and looks for burglars in
the night and is otherwise obedient,
that it is because he has no backbone.
1t is simply because he is the hus-
band of woman of whom he ought tC
be be proud.

Joan of Arc.

The London Standard says: Though
Joan of Arc is a French heroine in
little danger of being forgotten. the
citizens of Crotoy have thought fit to
make assurance doubly sure by rearing
a fresh statue to her memory. 1t is
true, though there is a question how
far the fanticism of Jeanne aided in
routing our countrymen, no one doubts
that they were defeated. 1t, is there
fore, needless revising the verdict then
passed at the spears point. But after
a hundred works had described her
death, and thousands of reverent pill
grims have wept over the scene of her
martyrdom in the Place de la Pucelle
Of Rouen, it was a shock to hear not
only that the English were not respon-
sible for her martyrdom but that the
heroic damsel was never burned at all,
having lived to be respected matron
and well-to-do cheyenne. This is,
nevertheless, what Father VIgnier
asserts to be the fact, and NJ. Delapierre
has confirmed it with documents re-
garding the authenticity of which
there cannot be much skepticism.
There always was a belief that the
woman executed in 1431 was not the
real "Maid," and at different towns
during the subsequent years numerous
imposters were punished for attempt
ing to pass themselves off as the au-
thentic martyr. NJ. Vignier, however,
found in the archives of Mentz a con-
temporary account of the arrival of
Jeanne in that city ON the 26th of May,
1896, and her reorganization by her two
brothers.
This paper furthermore mentions
that in due time she was married to a
Sieur de Hermoise or Armiose, and
though it might be admitted that the
document discovered was a modern
forgery, 1t is certainly staggering to
disinter from family imminent chest
of M. des Armoise, of Lorraine, a
contract of marriage between Robert
des Armoise Knight, with Jeanne de
Arcy, surnamed the "Maid of Orleans" :"
This also might have been a coinci-
dence, though rather striking one,
but among the archives of the Matson
de vile of Orleans, under dates 1885
and 1436, are records of certain pay
ments made to messengers bringing
letters from Jeanne the Maid" to her
brother John du Ills or Lys. Now,
this sir name is well known to have
been that under which, as a reward
for long service, the Arc family are
ennobled. So here-unless we at once
cut the knot by declaring that the en-
tire mass of documents (those in Mentz,
in Lorraine, and in Orleans,) to be
gross forgeries, which has not yet been
attempted-is a curious net work of
facts, out of which it is rather difficult to
escape from the conclusion that there
must have been some mistake about the
Maid of Orleans having been incineart-
cd in that lively city on the Seine, in
which stands one of her many statues
erected to attest the truth of the event.
Most curious of all, in the Orleans Ac-
counts, under date of August 1st, 1889
eight years after she ought to have
been dead, there is an entry of 900
livrcs presented to Jeanne d Armoise
by the town council for services rem
dered by her an the seige of 1929. 1t
is difficult to get over these facts.

Fresh Meat for Export.

The manner of handling fresh meat
for export is changing. 1t is now
sent in refrigerators filed with cold
dry air. 1t was found that the damp
ness of air cooled by direct contact
with ice, was injurious to the keeping
qualities of the meat as soon as it was
removed from the steamer. Now the
air is cooled by COMPRISING it in a
closed cylinder, absorbing the heat by
cooling water acting on the compressed
air, and the subsequent expansion of
the compressed air in second cylinder.
by which means great deal of cold
can readily be obtained. At this stage.
and before the cooled air is allowed to
pass to the room to be cooled, a pecu-
liarly arranged snow-box is attached
to the delivery pipe of the expansion
cylinder, and by this means all moisture
contained in the air is effectually con-
densed in the form of snow, and depos-
tied in the snow-box: the cool and
dried air is allowed to pass into the
room desired to be cooled. This is the
process now used in shipping meat
from Australia, which is proving so
successful. 1t is rumored that fresh
meats from the Argentine republic are
contemplated. Cattle are cheap and
plentiful there, and If fresh meat can
be sent to England from thence, it win
compete seriously with that from
North America

Crude Petroleum.

There is at present, in round num-
bers, 25,000,000 barrels of crude petro-
leum stored in iron tanks in the oil
regions of Pennsylvania 1t is an inland
lake of oil that may be described as
having reached its highest ebb, mas
much as indications now point unmis-
takably to falling off in the daily
production of the wells and a conse-
quent decline in the amount tanked.
Not the least striking feature of the
oil regions are the clusters of these
enormous iron reservoirs, located on
Hill and valley, and whose construction
keeps actively employed great work
shops and an army of men in Pittsburg,
Titusyille, Pa. and Oil City, Pa, and
elsewhere. The oil held by the 1900
tanks dottiBg the oil regions would fill

The Country-Fair Orator.

The greatest curiosity at a country
fair is the orator. He is usually in his
gpeech 80 distant from anything agri-
cultural. even when he talks OF crops
and stock, that the farmers like to lis
ten to him. He patronizes the country
man by saying that the sons of the
soil are as good as other people. Mr..
Beecher used to talk about heifers and
pears and posies in a manner that
caused the farmers wives to smile
when they discovered how little he
knew. Mr.. Hayes shook hands, kissed
the babies, and wrote commonplace
in albums. The agricultural orator is
an ornamental hero at country fairs,
and the less he knows about the
hings he talks about, the more he il
Imposed to know about everything.

COUNTING THE COST.
The Expenses Attending Gen. Gar
fields Illness and Funeral.

neto Illness ana FuneTat.
ST. Louis Republican.
1t is stated that up to this time not
single bill of expenses growing out of
President Garfield's illness has been
presented. It is not to be expected,
however, that they will remain unpre-
sented forever. In the usual order of
things the Garfield estate is responsible
for all the charges, and the administra-
tors are calling for all bills from per-
SONS who have claims, so that if con-
gress shall direct payment to be made
out of the public treasury the gross
amount may be known. Some curious
estimates are made on the subject. DIR.
Bliss bill, it is conjectured, will be
$4,000; that of DR.. Reyburn, $4,000;
Drs. Agnew and Hamilton, $4,000
each; Drs. Woodward and Barnes, it is
said, will not make charge at all, but
will accept what congress may see fit
to vote them. DIR. Boynton, as a rela-
tive, will not present bill, either.
The doctors bills, when all presented,
will amount to $4,000. The cost of
drugs and medicines is expected to be
covered by $500; ice, $500. TIE trans
portation of the sick president from
Washington city to Elberon was the
gratuitous work of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, and no compensa-
tion will be asked for it. The same
company took the dead body back to
Washington, and after the ceremonies
there bore it to Cleveland-and for this,
too. it will decline to make charge.
The expenses at Elberon are put down
at $1,000; the funeral ceremonies at
the capital, 81 900; telegraphing, 50, 900;
trip of senators and representatives to
$1,000. The expenses at
Cleveland, which are assumed by the
and citizens of that city,

That portion of the expense falling

to the state of Ohio for pay, subsist-

No doubt bill will be introduced in
congress at its approaching session to
pay all that portion of the expenses
which would fall upon the Garfield
family, and the bill will pass with lit
tie or no opposition. The state of

ses within its limits, and the city and
