TO settle Family Quarrels.

Most family quarrels are FRACTIONAL
disturbances that the oil of affection
would smooth out, il we but knew it.
And most breaks between married
people could be healed by time, if
they would but give time a chance.
Between a man and woman once
bound together by this tie there are
memories potent enough to draw them
together through CULTS of discord, if
they have only been wise enough to
be loyal to one another in the respect
of silence as to what belongs to them
selves. 1t should be in the marriage
service, If it would do any good, this
vow OF silence about each others
faults. The old formula, 'for better,
for worse" meant nothing to most
who repeat it. They mean in their
hearts not to put up with worse. But
we have to put up with something
wherever we are in the world, and the
question Is, shall we not do better to
stand by our choice in life like brave
soldiers. loyal to their c%olors, and earn
the respect of the world, rather than
exhibit the miseries our poor judg-
ment brought upon US, and gain only
opprobrium in consequence? For
publicity doubles trouble.-Women's
Home Companion.

Mile a. Sea.

The term "knot" is Of very FREE
quent occurrence in the newspapers
these times in indicating the speed OF
var vessels. The term has reference
to what is known as the nautical or
geographical mile and implies q dis
lance Of 2,025 yards. Our statute
mile represents a distance of 1890
yards. So that a "knot" would be
equivalent to one and one-sixteenth
miles as we use the term. A vessel
making twenty knots an hour would
make q speed of about tw~enty-three
and one-third miles. Some of the
torpedo destroyers make a speed of
twenty-four and one-half knots-near-
ly twenty-nine miles per h~our-which
is equivalent to the average speed of
a railway passenger train.

The story of a sioux.

Samuel Campbell Chaska commit
ted suicide at Niobrara, Neb., last
week. Chaska was a full-blooded
Sioux Indian. Ten years ago he
graduated with high honors at Car
isle and shortly became famous by
marrying Clara Belle Fellows of Wash
ington. Neither the wealth of his
fashionable society wife, 10 his
learning, acquired by years of study
at Carlisle, could eradicate the Sioux
traits that generations had left in his
blood. In a few years he drifted
back to the reservation and sunk to
the level of a common blanket Indian
again. His wife left him years ago.
Chaska was in Jail at the time of his
death. charged with horse stealing.
