gram Of the club defined in pale greens
and gold and tied with soft pink colors,
the Friends in Council of Tecumseh
present their plan Of studying English
Literature for tie coming year. From
Shakspere to Tennyson, celebrated
authors and their most important works
will be considered.
The constitution and bylaws OF this
club are models OF conciseness. Tho
secretary is Mrs. Matte Hedrick, Te-
cumseh, Nebr.
Representation in the G. F. w. G. has
been greatly reduced by the amendment
adopted at Denver whereby federated
clubs of fifty members or less can only
be represented by the president or her
sppointee. BY the old rule each club
was entitled to one delegate besides the
president. There are over six hundred
clubs affiliated with the general fedora
ton, take away the extra delegate and
II none OF these clubs have over fifty
members the number Of delegates en-.
titled to seat 10 tho biennial is reduced
to six hundred. Thus this question is
solving itself. without debarring any
club that may wish to receive the per-
sonal benefit derived from sffilistion
with the national organic alton.
At the Denver biennial Ne brasks was
entitled to twenty.four votes. viz: from
the nine clubs belonging, eighteen. from
the state federation. 1--we, and one from
the state chairman. At tho Milwaukee

Nebraska would be entitled to only nine
votes unless some Of those clubs should
represent more than fifty members.

 The copper production of the United states in the year 1898 was the largest ever recorded in single year, or 8 total of 535,900,23 pounds of fine cop per, which was an increase over 1897 of S4,529,9S7 pounds, or e.s per cent.
 A New York exchange states that farmers have been wasting cornstalks to the value of S9O0. .0oO,o ,oCO a year. They are good for "hole-stoppers" for battle ships, cardboard, paper, foundation for dynamite, cattle food and glue. The 1lihculty, however, is to sell them for the money.
 M. Piatti dal Pozzo, an engineer from lunis, has invented a deep sea diving apparatus, which has been tried with put accident at depth of ITO feet near Cherbourg. The inventor declares his purpose of searching for the hull of the Alabama, which lies where she was sunk by the Kearsarge, eff Cherbourg harbor.
 People have been poisoned with bread containing salts of lead, which came from the timber used to heat the oven. Inc Paris council of hygiene has, there lore, forbidden the employment of painted or unpainted wood from old houses, old sleepers impregnated with ereosote or sulphate of copper, and dis. used blocks of wood paving for heating ovens, on the ground that poisonous volatile salts may arise from them and deposit on the roof or floor of the oven.
 ii. Schaw has invented a method of blasting by electricity and steam com bined. MT. Schaw found by experiment that it would be easy to boil water in cartridge by using thin coil of plati- mum wire through which electricity IS sent. The steam pressure within the cartridge would rise to 15O pounds per square inch and far in excess of that. If the water cartridge is success ful in mining its application to heavy blasting may be made of use by railroad engineers, western mining concerns and in large quarries.

European Wives of Japanese,

Much has been said about mixed mar riages in Japan. On rare occasions ;hey are a success, but this is not gen. ,rally the case, especially if the wife be the foreigner. Twas much interested in a European lady I knew, who had married Japanese officer. They were ! very united couple, and, had it not been for the husbands mother, all might have been well. But in Japan a wife is entirely in subjection to her nother-in-law, who makes the most of this authority, in some cases reducing her sons wife into sort of upper serv- mt. In the present instance, as long IS her husband remained at home. his wife was able to do pretty much as she pleased. When, however, the war broke out and he joined his regiment m China, the mother-in-law entirely regained the upper hand. The Euro pean daughter had to abandon her Flu ropean custom, to adopt Japanese 5ress for herself and her child, to sit on the floor and live principally on Japanese food. So great was the old lady's power and influence that the western woman did not dare to disobey, put had to submit in silence until her husbands return home, when am glad 70 say life once more became bearabl. 70 her.-Cornhill Magazine.

CULTIVATED DOGS.
Retrteyers Tint Carry Birds So Gen. uy They Scarcely Rume
 n Feather.

A writer on breaking dogs gives sev-
 eral instances of pretty behavior in cer- tain very good pupils. One beautiful
 retriever is madly anxious to start aft CT the birds, but will never stir until her master gives the word. Till then
 she stands looking up in his face still as
 a stone, but at the whispered command
 she is off like the wind.
 She has a beautiful 'mouth;" that is.
 she can bring in the dead birds without
 ruffling a feather. This accomplish
 ment evidently gives her a pleasure equal to that of her master; for when she is out for run, she mischievously ''retrieves" the domestic ducks by the
 side of the pond,
 At first the owner of the ducks was
 somewhat indignant over that liberty,
 but he learned to feel only amusement
 as, no doubt, was true of the ducks also.
 One bird, to the writer's certain knowl- edge, was retrieved three times; and at last, when released from the somewhat
 embarrassing position, she gave her self a shake, and walked off not bit the worse.
 Another dog had so perfect a mouth
 that he seemed incapable of hurting anything with it. One day, when he
 was at play in field with some friends,
 his master noticed that he was carry ing something in which the other dogs were greatly interested. Presently it became evident that a birds head was
 protruding from his jaws; and calling him up his master took from him . young thrush, entirely uninjured. Notwithstanding the excitement of
 the chase, and the efforts the other dogs had made to catch him, he had carried
 .he bird with the utmost tenderness,
 never once closing his jaws.
 The writer of the article goes on to say nost emphatically that these use-
 ful and taking" ways were taught with
 the aid of kindness and patience, and
 that the cowardly brute who has to call
 in the lash, during training, is usually
 far less intelligent than the dog he
 abuses.-Blackwood's Magazine.

SURGERY BILL FOR A CAT.
rabby's Nose Was Cyrano de Berpc. rae Build and It Had to
 He Changed.

Timson, a large tortoise Angora cat, owned by Mrs. Samuel Rawley, 8 wealthy woman, living on farm about six miles from St. Louis, had an opera ton performed on his face recently, to the like of which probably no cat ever before was subjected.
 Timson was feline De Bergerac. All lis native charm and beauty, his chiv- airy and the courtly manners inherited from proud, unbroken line of an ,estors, were spoiled by big yellow smudge on his nose. For Timson to assume Beau Brummel airs with that plebeian yellow nose was as absurdly impossible as Chuck Connors in an opera hat.
 If science, through the agency of dermatology, couldremove the blemish, 1t should be removed. Correspondence was opened with a prominent surgeon, and after the nature of the blemish had been minutely described to him he con- sented to remove it, and suggested that Timson be forwarded to his clinic in New York.
 After examination of the stricken nose the doctor announced that cleo tricity was the only means which could be employed to remove the tortoise hued hair, and that after it had been taken out the nose would have to be blistered slightly to insure that the hair would grow in white.
 The electrical needles, he admitted. would be more or less painful, and after watching his patient sinking his long claws into his blanket and then draw them out, as though tG keep him. self in training, he decided to admin ister an anesthetic.
 After Timson had succumbed to its influence the needles were applied and one by one the disfiguring hairs were removed. As the patch covered more than two inches on each side of the nose, the operation was necessarily a long and tedious one, and it was more than an hour before it was completed and Timson was brought to.
 A light blister was applied then. and the patient put to bed. The experiment was great success. No complications set in, and beyond an annoying irrit S- tion caused by the blister Timson suf- fered no inconvenience. He was around again in two or three days, and already soft white down has taken the place of the ugly blotch. The operation, in- cluding the fee and the doctors ex. penses, amounted to $90.-N. Y.
