The scientists have got to work upon
the theories of lava flows. Perhaps out
of their varying views some bright
ideas may be evolved. We have had
the gas theory, the superheated steam
theory and no one has yet come for
ward with the pressure theory, which
is strongly advocated by some, who
have shown some ground for their be-
lief by reducing rock, at a very high
pressure to liquid, and the contraction
theory which is regarded as satisfac-
tory by quite a considerable school. The
ordinary layInan can take his choice,
but when in the presence of the sup
porter of any. particular theory he had
better hold his tongue.

\ GOOD, EXAMPLE.

Governor Stanley of Nebraska made
a new departure by appointing COM
mittee of women to visit all the public
institutions of the state and report
upon their condition. Within a month
every institution had been inspected
and the report was in the Governor
hands. In such matters the ladies are
invaluable, they work indefatigably
and they have quick grasp of details.
They are, moreover, undeterred by po-
litical considerations and freely criti-
cize what they. see wrong
A great deal of such work might be
done by ladies in this country to the
manifest betterment of many of our
institutions. We have a remarkably
well educated and progressive set of
women amongst us, who are good Or
ganizers and who are possessed of great
executive ability. Some people talk
about woman's. sphere being the home,
but some women can direct their homes
and find ample time for work outside
the home.
The idea that the iconduct of all state
affairs should be confined to men is no
longer tenable. There are lots of
things which can be managed as well,
if not better, by women. In nine cases
out of ten the woman who finances a
household upon a small salary is far
more capable than the man who earns
the small salary. ....
OF course, all women are not suited
to committee work, but neither are all
men. The advance of woman is one of
those slow revolutions which glide
along imperceptibiy, and we hardly
realize how great it has been Now
that we have co-education, it is certain
that we will in time have co-work. The
idea of women striking out for them
selves was looked upon with horror by
the Philistines Of thirty years ago. 1t
is not looked upon in such way now.
1t is quite a natural thing to see a
woman strike out for herself, and she
is by no means unsexed by doing it.
A clever, well-read woman with some
speciality which enables her to earn an
income is no longer bluestocking, and
regarded as a sort of monstrosity. We
have learned that great attachments
may be combined with tender affec-
ton and loving motherhood.
1t would be no bad thing If the ex-

Some one has said that the Anglo
Saxon supplies himself and his family
more abundantly with food than any
other individual on the earth's surface,
and cooks it more abominably than any
one else. This is probably, like all gem
civilizations untrue, but there is no
doubt that in the art of cooking the
Anglo-Saxon is woefully deficient. The
ladies of this town have set their minds
on supplying the community with prop
erly educated cooks, but they must be-
ware lest they teach their cooks too
much. The Anglo-Saxon stomach hav-
ing been accustomed to the "choleric
meats" of its boyhood may resent the
kickshaws and side dishes of the Gallo
cookery. And the great Anglo-Saxon
stomach has much TO do with the blunt
bad cooking is a necessity to the proper
development of the Anglo-Sax If it
had not been for surfeit of boiled beef,
should we ever have had Magma
Charta? and assurediy the Declaration
of independence never would have
written on a diet of dinde troufee ="
or "perigorde pie The ladies can i'm
prove our cooking. for even the Anglo
Saxon stomach turns from the abOm-
nations of half cooked fat, and watery
gravy, supplied by All Chez and his
confreres, but they must be careful and
not run into the other extreme. They
might actually sap the mental vigor of
the coming race.

BUSINESS SUCCESS.


The business concern that succeeds
I'm these days OF close competition must
be directed with consummate skill and
tact There can be no resting on oars
or trusting to past records. There
must be enterprise and energy and a
constant movement forward. In no
instance has the success that crowns
energy and enterprise when we'll
directed been more signally shown than
I'm the case of the Manufacturers Out
let Company. which in a comparatively
short business career has become the
biggest clothing and furnishing goods
concern i'm the state or for that matter,
in this section of the country.
The gentlemen who direct the for
tunes of this vast establishment not
only have capital, but they have ideas
that are up-to-date. Their methods
are progressive. They recognize the
needs OF the public and fiji them i'm a
way that is mutually satisfactory and
profitable. II Is safe 10 say that by no
other concern has the idea of small
profits and large and quick sales been
carried out with half the success as by
the Outlet Company. Nor are the ef-
forts i'm this direction spasmodic. on
the contrary, they are continuous. per-
manent and the fixed policy of the
company. The result is that the people.

BODY Identified.


The body of man, found in the
river yesterday has been identified at
Monahun's undertaking rooms. as that
OF James Eugene Budedn. AZ years of
age, who lived in Natick. The remains
were identified by Mrs. Budeau, whose
husband had been missing from his
home since Junuary g. Mrs. Budeau
stated that her husband had come 10
Providence to collect some money that
was due him. and from that time had
not heard a word concerning him.
There were no evidences OF violence
visible and everything about the body
indicated that the man. after disposing
of all documents that would reveal his
identity, had Jumped into the riveA and
committed suicide. Another Theory is
that the man, wandering about the un-
guarded whaives at night, accidentally
fell into the water and drowned. The
body was taken to the Budeau home in
Natick today, and will be buried at
once.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
II Vas 10 The Defendants Plea In Bar In Case Of
Johnson vs., ka'lck Mills.

The plaintiffs demurrer 10 defend
ants plea in bar in the suit of Gustave
Johnson vs.Natick mills is sustained by
a rescript handed down by the Appel
late Court today. The language of the
rescript is as follows:
"Our opinion is that the release plead
ed i'm bar to the suit is broad enough
to include not only all actions and
causes of action which the minor John
son had by reason of the accident To
him which was the subject of the suit
against the defendant, but also all ac-
tions and causes OF action growing out
of that accident which the plaintiff had
as father of said Johnson. The release
is expressly not only the release of
Gustave Johnson as next friend 10
John Johnson. but also as his father
and is of all action and causes of ac-
ton arising or growing out of the ac-
cident.
THE demurrer must, therefore, be
overruled and the plea sustained"
John johnson originally brought suit
by his father as next friend against
the defendant corporation for injuries
received while in it's employ. This suit
was settled and the release given re-
ferred TO i'm the rescript above given.
Gustave, the father of John, recently
brought suit to recover for the loss OF
Johns services resulting from the ac-
cdent. The defendants set up the re-
lease obtained i'm the other suit and
plaintiffs demurred 10 the plea with
the result above noted. Walter II. Vim

ON DEMURRER.
Appellate Court Hears Case Of Town
Of Cranston vs.. Chaffee.
Question at Issue Is as 10 the Division Of
an award For Land Damages.

Chief Justice Matteson and Justices
Tillinghast and Douglas in the appel
late division of the supreme court to-
day heard, Mary A. Bullock's demurrer
to the bin In equity filed by the town of
Cranston against Mary j. Chaffee ct
ais. The commissioners appointed by
the town OF cranstOn 10 layout Alice
avenue made an award TO the rtspond-
ents, one of whom was Mrs. BLslOck or
1907 as their interest might appear for
land taken for the highway. The bill
seeks TO have the parties who were
awarded the money settle as 10 whom
IL shall be paid.
Benjamin w. Smith attorney for Mrs.
Bullock argued that the bal did not
properly describe the land taken for the
highway and as the respondents owned
good deal Of real estate i'm the neigh
borhood of the new highway it was
clearly necessary that there should be
a suitable description of the land taken
and that IL was the DUTY OF the com
mlssioners TO award the amount due
10 each of the three parties separately.
John Palmer for the town argued
that the demurrer was insufficient and
said that the commissioners report on
the layout Of the highway contained
an exact description Of the land taken
and the respondents could not claim
they were surprised dn any manner.The
three respondents. Mr. Palmer said all
claimed the land taken and the com
mssioners had no authority 10 settle
to whom the money awarded might be-
long. The land had been replatted and
this lead TO the trouble about title.
Mr.. Smith did not think the replat-
ting had much TO do w,G the trouble.
Mr.. Palmer thought the respondents
should interplead and not put the town
TO further expense. Mr.. Smith said the
lines of the old plat could be discover
ed i'm Is minutes. The court held the
case for advisement bUt some OF the
judges expressed the opinion that there
should have been a fuller description OF
the land i'm the bill.
