separated from obtaining possession OF
her child was bI ought out in a trial
Friday before Supreme Court Commits

The woman is Mrs. Jaeger, the wife OF

Couldn't Phase the Footman

Lord Leighton, when asked by what title
he would be called to the upper house, at
once replied: Il am workingman, and can
not afford TO change my name, which is my
trademark There result many minor
social confusions when the alteration in
status is accompanied by an alteration of
the patronymic. When, for instance, Sir
James McGarel- -Hogg, raised to the peer
age under the title OF Lord Magheramorne
first dined out with his new dignity, the
footman, unable to master the sound but

Women the World Over

A lady in Essex recently rode to hounds
on bicycle. She was thrown several
times, surmounted six stiles, was in at the
death, and was presented with the brush.
The wife of Ii Hung Chang is said to
possess 1000 frocks, and has half that
number of waiting women in attendance
upon her.
Women have better perception of color
than men. An eminent authority on color
blindness asserts that under very severe

Nonsense About Exercising.

Prof Munk, OF the University of Berlin
famous for his discoveries in the physiology
Of the brain, says it is great mistake TO
suppose that gymnastic exercise sand
wiched in between school hours rest the
pupils. On the contrary, he says, they
still more fatigue the brain, which ought to
have absolute rest. If both studies and
gymnastics are to be indulged in on the
same day, he says, they shoul d be separated
by intervals of rest.

A true essence of the sway that Kan

it shines forth in the high percentum of

ideal of conduct that was always before the

in every township. The high priestess
thereof is the schoolma'am, and when
she is in her holy temple-well may the
nations tremble.
Kansas, by reason of the high stand

reached, has become the nations barome-

to psychological currents. The states

Only a people of much culture can register

of a coming event. Yet Kansas has this
faculty. The Kansas boom broke in 1888;
the national panic occurred five years
later in 1898. And so as sure as there
were signs to the prophets in the elder
days just as sure do the Kansan good
