HOW TO KEEP A HUSBAND.
Have Tact, dave Tact, and Evermore
Have Tact, Is the Rule.

A wife may combine the personal
appearance of the lamented Helen OF
Troy, the intellectual attainments OF
the extremely intellectual Minerva and
the wifely devotion Of the renowned
Penelope, but unless she adds to these
unfailing tact they will profit her moth
ing says the n. Y. World Or, as Nine.
de Stael tersely put it: at is the
woman who possesses more tact than
love who retains the devotion of a
man" Fortunately tact can be ac-
quired. One woman whose school was
an unhappy, "nagSing" first marriage,
and who is putting what she learned
there into practice in a gloriously sue
cessful second one, tells how she man
ages.
First, above all things" she SAYS,
Il have interested myself in those
things which interest my hus band.

That when man wants to tell any,

doesn't want to. Another important
| thing is that | never contradict him.
simply acquiesce and then afterward
use my own judgment in the matter
and do as think best. Then | regard
1t as positive duty to make myself as
attractive in his eyes as possibly can.
1t is comparatively easy thing to
catch husband, but an entirely diff
ferent matter to keep him, and nothing
disgusts man sooner than to learn
that the girl who charmed him by her
daintiness and attractiveness has
developed into the wife who affects
wrappers and curl-papers. And, last
ly, | do not let a simple division of
opinion increase to such proportions
that divorce suit looms up in the
distance"
Tact Is so strong in this woman that
she can, although possessed of ex-
qulslte taste, smile approval upon her
husbands carbuncle cuff buttons
rather than destroy the pleasure he
takes in them. Her expression of fond
pride would undergo no change should
her spouse appear in an orange and
pink tie. To keep him satisfied with
himself is the first step toward making
him satisfied with his wife, she has dis
covered.
There was as much tact as love in
the method one little woman took to
bring her clubman of husband back
to her. 1t was his cheerful custom to
go off to his club, sending her bunch
Of flowers and note by way of peace
offering. By and by this grew mono
tonous to her. One night She felt that,
tears and reproaches having all proved
futile, she would try another way I'M
pulsively she wrote on the back of his
note, "All your flowers for sight of
your dear face" and sent it to him.
That bit of tactful 1atterv accom-
pllshed what all the tears of Niobe and
all the curtain lectures of Mrs. Caudle
would have failed to do.
Flattery is the food of men. The
women who can show appreciation of
their society. their judgment and their
tastes, and who can be serenely OBJ
livious of their whims and crotchets.

bands. The only question is whether |
the game Is quite worth the candle!

THERE seems to be in process Of devel-
opment new test of party allegiance,
and 1t is also the inspiration of political
activity. The test is the occupancy of
federal position, just as the hopes OF
achieving the honors and securing the
perqulsites of office make clear the duty
during political campaigns, of those who
make personal application of the prin-
ciple, the laborer is worthy of his hire
There is a sort of er cdthedra tone in the
utterances Of the federal office holders
which is wanting in the words of him who
foolishly believes that the choicest fruits
of victory are not the emoluments of
office.
Just as soon as the spoils are distrib-
uted there is caste distinction. The in
depreciation of party policy becomes
vested by some esoteric means, in feder-
al Official. From that time on he speaks
as one having authority on all matters
political. Ii a King can max belted

power of exposition, and puts the stamp
OF commences on what reason would re-
Ject. 1t is queer how slong- dormant ca
paclties for leadership and sage counsel
spring into instant being in the brain of
the Office holder as Pallas did, IN full
nannniV nF W. from tho fpraIo,l 81
There were nesting for years political
sagacity, capacity for leadership and
powers OF exegesis, awaitlng;the vivifying
touch of commission to become offensive
ly active.
There is degree of buoyancy, as well
as strong flavor of authority in the
calculation of political subjects by the
office holder. He is part OF the ad.
mlnlstration and as such feels privileg-
ed to direct the mere ''hewers of wood
and the drawers of water" He assumes
the role of guardian while not forgetting
to include IN this the duties of censor.
The real, genuine, simon pure party man
is democrat who holds office or re-
publican who hopes to. There are no
good citizens except office holders or
office holders in spe.
There is something grand in the d1tta-
torlal attitude OF these chosen people:
something which makes the poor devils
who have no hankering for the loaves
and fishes feel how utterly insignificant
they are IN the body polite; something
which recalls the old school house, at the
time when the boys sought to render
with appropriate authoritative express
ion the command to William Tell: BE

THE Milwaukee banks refuse to pay |

THE Milwaukee banks refuse to pay
more than . per cent. on state funds. The
board of deposits have established rate
requiring per cent. But as cash is ac-
cumulating rapidly in the state treasury
there beng S2,500,000 there now,) it is
reasonably sure that a reduction will be
made in the rate so that the money now
lying idle may be producing something.
One year ago the question of what in
terest should be exacted from state treas
urers for the sums it was legally deter
mined were due the state from them as
he proceeds of interest money which they
retained, was up. A dispassionate examin
alton of the subject at that time was i'm
possible as the people were possessed by
the frenzy of success which made the
grating OF quarter appear like the sur
render of right. A war indemnity of
such dimensions as to impoverish the de-
feateu parties was exacted. The state
received seven per cent. per annum dur
ing the period of years which yielded
only three per cent.
1t must be conceded that the state has
dealt with unnecessary severity with the
eX-treasurers. To recover what the state
lost is all That in justice should have been
asked. The sober sense of the people
does not approve the punitory demands
nor the despoiling of individuals to swell
the income of the state.

ELECTRICAL scientists are not seeming
ly content with extending the uses OF
electrical principles already established,
though it would seem that there is a wide
field for application Of mechanical prln-
ciples to accepted theories of electricity.
But the scientist is always leading the
practical man who makes mechanical use
of scientific discoveries. In electricity
the discover has now material enough on
hand tC keep the inventor busy with me-
chanlcal appliances for century to come.
And the century would not be called non
progressive if mechanism limited itself to
the field Of operations which science has
opened.
A few short years ago, comparatively,
the ordinary student IN an ordinary
course in physics need not blush for his
ignorance IN the department of electric
ity, The discoveries in this science dur
ing that time are greater than was the
sum total of knowledge of mechanics
then. Late discoveries in this branch
of knowledge are really startling, notably
those of Nlkola Tesla. With an Edison
toturn those to practical account the
next decade will bring a revolution in the
appliances Of to-day.
The imagination stands appalled, at the
magnitude and possibility of these dis
coveries. Their significance are beyond
the comprehension of the layman; all he
can do Is to accept what science gives
him and make no effort to comprehend.

WILD CRANBERRY BOCS,
The Stretch of Marshes In the Puget
Sound Country.

The entire Puget Sound country and
the coast of Washington is dotted with
wild cranberry lands. These lands are
found throughout all the woodland
sections, and when once under cult
walton produce the most abundant
crops of hay. grain and vegetables. In
fact, there are no lands more prolific
and fruitful.
r All up and down the rivers of the
Sound country and in the heavy wood
ed districts in the interior away from
any stream are found acres of these Pc
culiar tracts.
The wild cranberry in this country
IS not a success, as are most all other
| kinds OF wild fruit Patches are found,
however, that are very prolific, and
each fall wild cranberries are picked.bv

remote districts. In Pierce county on
the military reserve, opposite Point
Defiance, is considerable berry
marsh where once used to be gathered
many bushels of the wild berry.
Up in SnohOmish county, on the
Stilliguamish river, wild cranberry
marshes are found in great mum Der.
One tine marsh. near the postoflice of
Oso, has recently been drained and
cleared of the old vines, and is now
one of the finest ranches in the State
for its size. Farther up the river, near
the head, are some marshes, which
produce bushels of berries. In the

parts of Clallam county are acres of
these fertile places.
