Durrant Not in It.

Another sensational story based on the
Durrant case was exploded last night. A
few days ago Philip Rogers of North Oak
land accounted for his wife's leaving him
by saying that she had gone away from
home because he had refused to read the
complete reports of the Durrant trial to
her every day. 4 letter received from
Warsaw, Wis, last night gives the other
side of the story. Mrs. Rogers said that
she did not leave home because of any such
absurd difference with her husband. She
says that her husband was cruel to her
and was penurious, and gave notice that
he would not be responsible for any debts
contracted by her.

WOMEN STEAL COOK BOOKS.
Remarkable Charge Against the Fair
Sex Made by Librarian.

Remarkable Charge Against the Fair
Sex Made by n Librarian.
From the New York World,
An assistant librarian at the largest cir
culating library in the city this week made
an important contribution to the question
which has often been dscussed-are wom-
en- honest?
A member of the library asked him for
a good illustrated cook book.
1--WE don't keep cook books any longer"
he said.
Why"
1.-The ladies always steal Them he said
in the most matter-of-fact way.
Further inquiry ELECTED other facts. It
appears that until within two or three
years the library was in the habit of pur-
chasing six copies of every good, useful
cook book. But they disappeared in an
incredibly short space of time.
Women members resorted to all sorts of
lodges to get possession of the cook books
Iii some cases a woman would call for half
a dozen books, including the cook book
and then ask the librarian to bring her
some more books, and while his back was
turned slip the coveted volume under her
cloak. She would then formally borrow
one of the latest batch Of books and trip
out before the theft could be discovered.
OF course a time came when the IL
brarianS were pretty well up to the lodges
but the trouble and unpleasantness of at
tempting to prevent the thefts made it
advisable to stop buying cook books for
the library.
The one consoling feature about this sad
state of affairs is that it reveals a consid-
cradle interest taken by women in cook
cry. Would it not be worthy enterprise
to supply them with good cook books free

STARVING PARIS DOCTORS.
Not Enough Patients and the Free
Hospitals Cut Into the Practice.

Not Enough Patients and the Free
Hospitals Cut Into the Practice.
From the New York World.
A double suicide which shocked Paris
the other day brought to the attention OF
the public the financial straits in which,
1t is said, the majority of the physicians OF
that city live Or. Arnaud de Lanyard
an old physician who had been decorated
by the government for brave conduct dur
ing the cholera epidemic many years ago.
committed suicide with his wife because
his practice had dwinded to the vanishing
point and starvation was staring them
in the face y
In commenting upon the tragedy sew
eral newspapers asserted that in Paris
not more than one doctor out of five is
able to make more than the barest living.
Among the causes of this poverty among
physicians is the restitution of most OF
their patients. Medical science has made
such great strides, too, that maladies OF
all sorts are more quickly cured, and such
precautions are taken to prevent the
spread of contagious diseases that cpl
denies are becoming practically unknown
The number of doctors, on the other hand,
has rapidly increased. Another reason
why there is not practice enough to go
around is that in many of the hospitals
people can be treated for nothing or at a
very nominal figure. Many of these hos
pitfalls have training schools which are free,
in which are taught the rudiments of medi-
ly attended, and many sick people are
taken in hand at their own homes by some
member of the family who has profited by
this instruction.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.
What the British Scientific SOcietieA
Are organizing to Carry Out.

What the British Scientific SOcietieA
Are organizing to Carry Out.
From Harpcr's Weekly.
Three great British scientific societies ar
agreed that 1t is the duty of the British
government to At out an expedition for
thorough antartic exploration. In Noyem-
Der, 1893, the Royal Geographical Society
appointed a notable committee to inquire
into the propriety Of such expedition
and report. They reported in favor of hav-
ing the government send two suitable ves-
sells to explore the south polar regions and
keep them at 1t for three years. The
port was adopted and transmitted to the
Royal Society. which in turn appointed a
powerful committee. which in May. 1894.
reported strongly In favor Of the scheme.
At the beginning of the present year the
council of the British Association gave the
plan its vigorous Endorsement, and it doubt
less took further action on 1t at its recent
annual meeting in September
The plan of DR.. John Murray Of the Chal-
lenger, who addressed the Royal Geograph-
ical Society on the subject two years ago.
was to send out two suitable government
steamships Of about 1000 tons each. have
them start in September. land company
Of about ten men somewhere south of Cape
Horn and another in Victoria Land, and
have these parties spend two years or
more ashore, exploring the antarctic con-
tinent. The ships would land the shore
parties the first summer, visit them the
second, and take them OF the third, and
would spend their own winters and all
their other available time in deep sea and
other observations along the outer margin
of the antarctic ice.
What may be found on the antarctic con-
tinent no man can say. Animal life in
abundance was found last year at Cape
Adair by c. E. Borckgrevink, a young Mr.
wegian, who sailed there as one of the
crew of a whaler. and whose account of his
experiences excited interest at a recent
geographical congress in London. Mr..
Borchgrevink wants to go back, and writes
to the London Times pressing for further
and immediate research within the antarc-
tic circle" 1t is held to be possible that a
new race of men may exist somewhere
within hail of the south pole, and that
such creatures as the ichthyosaurus may
still survive IN the antarctic seas. Seals
and sea birds are abundant there; what
else no one can say, but many inquisitive
persons want to know.
Our countryman, Dr. Frederick Cook.
greatly desired to fit out an American
south polar expedition to start out this fall
and catch the next antarctic summer, but
his efforts in that direction seem not yet to
have come to anything. Perhaps he will
do better another year; but at any rate.
there seems a real prospect that a serious
attempt to find out whatever can be known
about the antarctic continent will be made
before the present century ends.
