The Terrible French Rifle.
London Telegraph.

LONDON IeleSrapn-
According to all accounts the new
"Lebel rifle" is a wondrous weapon,
and is destined to do terrible things
in the hands of the French soldiers.
The members of the Academy of
Medicine wishing to diagonise the
physical consequences of the wounds
inflicted by the bullets of the gun, re-
Gently had experiments made on
twenty corpses, probably those of
paupers whom nobody knows, of
those of Inflated waits, picked up an
the morgue. The bodies were placed
at the ordinary firing distance, from
200 yards up to a mile or SO. The
bullets whizzed through the bones
and pierced them without fracturing
them, as is done by the bullets of the
Gras rifle. The wounds, if they be
called so, which ware inflicted were
small in their punctures, and eonse-
quently very dangerous and difficult
to heal. Injuries inflicted at short
distances were so considerable that,
in the opinion of the surgeons
they would be almost incurable. At
the longest range-2.000 meters-a
poplar tree was hit, but the bullet did
not 60 through the tree. AT 1900
meters the tree was pierced through
and through. The discharges of the
rife are unaccompanied by smoke,
and the reports are comparatively
feeble.

THE IMPORTATION OF TEXAS CATTLE.
Io,ra La,r Triumphant ia a Case Before the
Highest Court.


The supreme court of the United
States rendered an opinion in the case
of P. @. Kimmish, plaintiff in error, vs.
John J. Ball and Henry Trinka. The
case involves the constitutionality of
the law of Iowa making any person hav-
ing in his possession in the state any
Texas cattle which have been wintered
north of the southern boundary of Kan
sas and Missouri, liable for any damage
that may accrue from allowing them to
run at large and thereby spread the
Texas fever. Two judges in the circuit
court of the United States for the
southern district were divided in opin-
ion and the case was sent to the SUI
preme court for final decision with the
result recorded, showing that the case
had been decided against the plaintiff
on the ground that the Iowa statute
was an interference with interstate COM
merce and also in violation OF n consti-
tutional provision giving the citizens OF
the several states oil the privileges and
immunities of citizens of any state. The
supreme court holds that the Iowa
statute is not in conflict with the para
mount authority of congress to regulate
interstate commerce, but 1T is unable to
see that the statute has anything to do
with such commerce. The ease, it says,
is not one of restriction to commerce,
but simply to require that whoever per-
mits diseased cattle to IL at large shall
he liable for my damages occasioned
thereby, and the court entertains not
the slightest doubt of the right of any
state to enact such q statute. 1t further
holds that as the citizens of Iowa are
liable under the statute the same as citi-
zens of other states, there is no force in
the objection that the law is contrary to
the clause of the constitution granting
eoual rights in the several states to all
citizens of the United States. The opin-
ion is by Judge Field.

in their present occupations is shown to
be four years and nine months, and of

gagged in a first trial at earning their
own living. OF the whole number, A.

Ireland is most largely represented and
Germany next. The great majority Of
the women co~mprehended in the report
are single. They are not only support
ing themselves but are giving their earn
ings largely to support others at home.
The report shows that of II, 1926 who
reported their health condition at the
time they commenced work, 16, 900 were
in good health, SS3 we're in fair health,
and 1873 in bad health. The changes in
health condition is illustrated by the
fact that IA, 554 are now in good health,
{, 345 are in fair health, and 4S9 are In
bad health. The tables upon earning
and lost time show that of 13, 1922 who
reported, 1913 earn less than 500 per
annum, and that this class lost an aver
age of '86.5 days for the zyear covered.
The largest number earn $500 and under
$3.50 per annum, losing 37.8 days; 2,377
earn from to $255 to $500, losing 36.5
days. As the earnings increase lost
time decreases, as for instance, 39S earn
from $3.50 to $500 q year, and this class
lost but 1873 days. These earnings are
actual earnings, and are not statements
derived from computations based on
rates of wages. TIE average weekly
earnings, by cities, shows San Francisco
the hihgest, with SO. 81, and Richmond,
Va, the lowest, 1898. The average
weekly wages computing all cities ex-
amined, is 1924. Upon the subject of
Character of Workingwomen," the
commissioner, among other things, says:
"Workingwomen of this country are as
honest and virtuous as any other class
of our citizens. The social standing of
workingwomen is becoming better and
better"

How a Meek Woman Manages to Hav,

How Meek Woman Manages to Have

eff there is a man in the world that
excites my sympathy it is hen-pecked

'Some time ago my friend Amelton
invited me to go home with him.
promised, providing he would wait
until l transacted certain piece of
business. He agreed reluctantly, say
ing that he promised his wife that he
would be home at a certain hour.
After 1 finished my business accom-
panied him. As we proceeded he re-
marked:
"'Rimple, / am the worst hem
pecked man in town. That's why I
am in such a hurry
Il was very much disappointed when
we reached the house. l expected to
see notwithstanding woman, with
savage face and harsh voice, but l
was introduced to little, meek-look-
ing woman, with delicate face and
plaintive tone of voice. After supper.
when Amelton and 1 were sitting in the
library smoking, l remarked:
"Say, didn't you mislead me about
that henpecked business? / don't
know that l ever saw gentler woman
than your wife
No, sir; l have not misled you.
Gentleness is her strongest hold. 1t
IS her gentleness that knocks me.
Don't think that the scold is the worst
type of hen-pecking women, for she
isn't. Why, sir, if my wife were
scold | would get mad and leave the
house, but as it is l am disarmed.
When leave home my wife always in
s1sts upon my appointing the exact
time when 1 will return. If I am
late, no matter what business has de-
tanned me- she cries and takes on, and
declares that l don't love her. When
l VOW by all things sacred that 1 do
love her, and that l was detained by
business that could not be postponed,
she wrings her hands and weeps so
violently that l am sometimes
afraid people think am abusing
her. She has way of signing and
turning over in bed with kind of de-
spairing founce, and instead of asking
me. as is her custom, if l have locked
the doors, she slides out of bed with
suppressed "Oh, mer' and goes on
tour of inspection. Every time she
quiets down l try to convince her that
she is wrong and that I do love her,
but just as soon as l say word she
breaks out afresh and turns over with
another despairing flounce. Next
she gets up before / awake.
When l get up find her at the break

preston of such unutterable sadness

ORIGIN OF IDAHO.
How a Poetic Name Came to Be Applied
to a Prosperous Territory.

How a Poetic Name Came to Be Applied
to a Prosperous Territory.
From time to time something ap-
pears in the public prints connecting
the name of Joaquin Miller with the
origin of the word Idaho in which
it is always claimed that the word in
question resulted from an interview
which Miller had with Colonel Craig
while both were travelling through the
Nez Perce country in the summer of
1861. Miller is said to give Colonel
Craig credit for composing the word
from elements found in the Nez Perce
language and which Craig is said to
have first pronounced Edaho, applying
the word to the appearance of neigh
boring mountain, upon whose summit
something was seen to glisten like
diamond or gem. This was no doubt
the origin of the Miller Craig gem of
the mountains, but not of the genuine
article nor the word Idaho"
In the spring of 1860 several months
before the discovery of gold had at
tracted the poet of the Sierras" into
the Nez Perce country, a steamboat: was
built at the upper cascades or the
Columbia river under the auspices OF
the Oregon Steam Navigation Com
pany; and when the steamer was
launched the word Idaho appeared in
its appropriate place as the name of
the vessel. The definition of the word
then given to the world was "gem of
the mountains" and the word was
then said to have been taken from the
language of one of the Indian tribes
inhabiting that portion of the Colum-
bia river valley. Some efforts have
been made TO find out who it was that
first suggested that name for the steam
er, but thus far without success.
The steamer Idaho piled upon the
waters of the Columbia during the
spring, summer and autumn of 1860,
and its name was quite familiar to all
who travelled through the country that
year. When it became necessary to
find a name for the new Territory,
which was organized in March, 1868,
somebody, probably Salucius Garfield,
the name of the old steam
boat that had been long since used up
and relegated to the "bone yard.'-
