LIEUT.. PEARY's wife is not the first
woman to brave the perils of the Arctic
exploration. Thirty years ago J. w.
Taylor, of London, was placed in charge
of an expedition sent out from London
to COLOMBO the east coast of Greenland,
and was accompanied by his wife, an
accomplished young woman, who lived
with him two years in an isolated set
Element on Cobwin's island. She was
the only European woman in a colony
of thirty men. Her health failed at the
end of two years and she returned to
England, her husband remaining 4
year longer. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor

A New Law Point.

Judge Lewis, of st. Louis district
court, has made a ruling that upsets a
universal practice of committing magis-
trates in the state, and which will give
freedom to greater portion of those
now held in county jails awaiting in
dictment if they care to ask it. It has
been the custom for years to permit a
prisoner arraigned for an indictable Of
tense to waive examination if he
wished. On this waiver he would be
held to the grand jury. In habeas cor
pus proceedings brought before him,
Judge Lewis held this to be in error.
TO hold prisoner for indictment the
state must show a crime and probable
cause to believe the prisoner guilty.
This cannot be done when the record
shows only a waiver. The point is one
never raised before in Minnesota.

DID you ever notice the weakness
women have for marking their letters
''personal?' They seem to think that by
so marking the envelope the letter will
go to it's destination quicker, through
the same line of reasoning which some
years ago led women to write on envel-
opes lin haste" supposing that the
postman would immediately start on q
run with them. This habit of writing
personal sometimes leads to very en-
barrassing results. A purely business
communication addressed in unmistak-
able feminine hand and marked per
sonal" has been known to raise lively
row in usually peaceful family.

The latest invention of labor-saving
machine is that of an apparatus for
picking cranberries. A harvester of
cranberries who uses his hands to pick
the berries can make only from 81. 50 to
q day; but by employing the cram
berry-picking machine he can make
from Is to IS day. Upluckily, how
ever, the owners of the cranberry
marshes suspect the machine harms the
cranberry bushes, and many of them
will not permit it to be used.

EM1N PAsHA is again reported, by the
same old reliable gentleman, to have
been slain. This time it is alleged that
Emin has actually been eaten by can
nibals. If he is eaten that will end the

would have been better for Emin to
have permitted Stanley to complete
his forcible rescue of him and to have
returned to Europe. But the old sol.
der didn't want to be rescued, and so
he became food for man eaters.
