 the public were invited to inspect 1t.
 That was some years ago. It may be
 looked at now by anyone who wants to see 1t. It Is worth a journey of mile and is located on the soldiers plot

 wonder at for moment or two, but 1t
 does not hinder permanently right pur- poses and plans being carried out. The pleasure which comes to each man who can provide for himself is different in degree from the pleasure which comes to the man who has to laugh at the fact that he himself can only half pro- vide for himself. If pIices are to be
 weighed and compared as they are now
 with prices when things were away up then 1t follows that it is easier to pro- vide for ones self now in family life than 1t was years ago. Things don't cost as much, and one can buy with less
 money. We must be thankful for this Thursday.

 together. Where all are leaders pub lie movement is bound to meet hearty approval.

BIsMARoK,s WIFE DEAD.

, fled isr Family When They Opposed His Suit
 Berlin. Nov. 27.-princess Bismarck died at varzIn at o'clock this morn- ing. Her eldest son. Count Herbert Bismarck. arrived at yarzin yesterday evening in obedience to summons, and other members of the family are on their way there.
 In lsH young Count Bismarck mar ried the woman who to-day passed out of his life. She was Johanna Won Puttkamer.
 Bismarck's courtship was ardent and unceasing. Herr von Puttkamer was prejudiced and uncofnpromising. and bitterly opposed the young mans suit The chancellor to be was then rath- CT wild young man. of no apparent fn' ture. He had left his university with no particular distinction. and was, the family thought. in no way suited to be a son-in-law of the Von Puttka' mers.
 One day Bismarck resolved to take matters into his own hands. He went before the family circle of the Won Puttkamers, folded the young woman in his arms, and looking Herr Won Puttkamer in the eyes said, sternly What God has joined let no man put asunder."
 After that things went all Bismarck's way. He loved his wife with devotion and fidelity, and their home life was an ideal one. Politics did not enter there.
 Princess Bismarck was an essentially German woman. She took but little in terest in affairs of state.
 She bore Bismarck two sons, Count William and Count Herbert. The for mer Is country squire. The latter. ir a measure. took up the fathers interest in politics.
 The effect of the death of the princess upon the chancellor will be watched with anxiety. So great was the sym pathy between the husband and wife that illness on the part of one always affected the other.

 dr n.
 The second volume of the "Studies from the Yale Psychological Laborato- ry" presents several articles which are of popular as well as scientific interest. The researches by Dr. Gilbert on the mental and physical development of school children furnish new facts and hints not only for the scientists, but for the mothers and teachers of public schools. By series of tests on about 1900 children in our public schools he has brought out many facts as regards the mental development of children, which is an entirely new line of re- search. Sensitiveness to differences in lifted weights and color-intensities, rapidity in reaction and reaction with discrimination and choice, accuracy of time memory, rapidity of tapping, growth in weight, height and lung ca pacity, all increase in general with age
