DEAD PASSION.
There Is Nothing Else SO Dead as ons
Mrs. wilcox Says.

There Is Nothing Else SO Dead as ons
Mrs. wilcox Says.
a man writes me that | do very
wrong to advise wives to and
control capricious passion for other
men. He SAY 1t is a husbands duty
to give his wife the love she cries for
no matter IL it necessitates her leaving
husband and children. He says: MY
wife, the mother of three children,
told me she loved another. We waited
several years in friendly companion
ship only and then separated. She is
married to the man she loved. I have
remained n Of her best friends and
intimate with her husband. The oldest
child went with me, visiting her when
ever he wishes; the other two re-
manned with the mother. We are both
far happier than had she been mourn
Ing the lost paradise. My wife was
neither a degenerate nor a lunatic; she
neither ruined my life nor disgraced
her children. We have neither of us
ever regretted the step. Our first and
sacred duty "a to ourselves" OF
course it indicates a very noble quality
in a mans nature when he gives his
wife her freedom and helps her to the
happiness she longs for with another.
1t is what Ruskin did, and is far more
sensible than a duel or a murder. l
admire n respect the man who does
1t. The man or woman who endeavors
to keep another's affection by force is
a selfish fool. Marriage Is only beau
tiful or moral when both parties ete
loving and beloved. But it is easy to
understand how a woman could fall
out of love with such a man as my
correspondent proves himself to be.
The husband who can remain in init
mate association with his divorced
wife after she marries another man,
who can comrade with his successor
is lacking in delicacy, In sentiment, in
refinement and in passion. 1t is no
wonder his wife wanted a change. To
be the friend in feeling to her is n
thing-to associate with her in her
new relations is quite another. II
savors of Mormon ,sm-and the thought
of 1t gives one unpleasant chills down
the spine. There is nothing so dead as
a dead passion. The corpse should be
buried at once-and not carried about
in view of the whole world. There is
something lacking in the woman who
could permit such an association as
this. The woman of real delicacy does
not like to be intimately associated
with an old sutton after she is married
to a man she loves. She does not like
to be reminded that she ever allowed
any other man than her husband to
make love-like advances to her. She
wishes her old admirers we'll, but she
does lot want them for intimate
friends, and certainly she does not
want a retired husband lowering about
her. Neither does the best and worth
lest type of man want old s~weethearts,
old mistresses or old wives around his
new menage. 1t is all very indelicate-
and little short of disgusting,-Ella
Wheeler Wilcox in New York Evening
Journal.

Especial letter.

Especial Letter.
hat section of country known in
early days as the Western Reserve in
Ohio and the home of many great men
In American life is now passing
through its centennial celebrations.
One by n the towns and cities within
its borders are beginning to arrange
for suitable celebrations in honor Of
the colonizing of this notable expanse
OF country. The city of gainesville
will soon unveil a monument in men,
DRY of Capt. Edward Paine, it's founder.
The town Of Connecticut and the city
OF Cleveland held their centennial Gel
ebrations last year. The little town
of ~Austinburg a few days ago held
festivities appropriate to the passing
OF its Tooth birthday. Geneva, a town
of some 5000 inhabitants, will cele-
brate in 1903, and with each succeed
ing year for several years the word
century" will have a particular sig
niicance in northern Ohio.
One hundred years ago the first
white child born in the Western Re-
serve died of starvation: The first
church in the section was dedicated
by the breaking of a bottle of whisky
over its steeple. Among the promi-
nent men born and raised in that part
of Ohio were James A. Garfield, Will
lam Mckinley, William Dean Howeils,
G%iddings, and Wade.
Hundreds of people each year visit
the old law Offices of Giddings &c
Wade, the famous statesmen of anti
slavery times, located at jefferson,
Ashtabula county. Their monuments
in the little Jefferson cemetery are
also a point of interest. Scattered here
and there throughout the reserve are
the old underground railroad stations
which sheltered many a slave on his
way to liberty. The birthplace of
Mckinley is located at Niles and the
home of James A. Garfield at Mentor.
William Dean Howells set type in a
printing office at Jefferson which is
still standing, and the same p is
issued weekly. Edith Thomas, the
poetess Of nature, often went down
beside the brook at Geneva and wrote
poetry beneath the canopy of an I'M
brella as she watched the torrents Of
rain and the flashes of lightning. In
the woods near the lake, Plat r.
Spencer, the author of Spencerian
penmanship, taught hundreds of pu-
pills the system of ~penmanship which
has become famous since then.

Perry's splendid victory stands in
Wade Park, Cleveland. AT Kirkland

yation and harvesting followed in like
manner. Gold and silver were used for
ornaments, but not for money, except
with foreigners, and all other kind of
trade was done by the government.
The business Of the people between
themselves was strictly trade and bar
ter. AS to their mechanical skill, it Is
said that the world has nothing to
show in the way of stone cutting and
fitting equal to that displayed in Inca
stone structures, many of which are
standing. 1t is but reasonable to sup
pose that such a people would explore
every foot of the Andes for precious
metals as well as for general informa-
ton.
Sir William found as much difficulty
IN persuading the superstitious Indians
to carry his packs al he did in reach
ing glaciers zigzag fashion and work
ing around gaping ~crevasses. The In
dams still revere and fear the tradi-
tional god of the Illimani, for he is not
the kind of a mountain god to take
kindly to trespassing upon his
premises. No difficulty worth men
tioning was experienced up to
the 16, 700-foot level, but it took
three days of perilous travel
Ing in an atmosphere intensely rari-
hed to travel the other 5000 feet. At
nearly every step there was danger of
going down to death in a crevasse or
of being crushed by the fall of ice and
snow from above.
Twice Sir William caught himself
walking in his sleep from sheer fatigue.
1t was a climb from a lower to a higher
summit all the way, and when the top
Of the highest peak was reached there
was nothing to do but retrace his steps
which was done with great difficulty.
The party was roped together. The
head of the line would drive an iron
pin deep into the frozen snow and
then those in the rear would pass for
ward, the rear becoming the front,
when another pin would be driven. In
the little villages IL, zoo and 5000 feet
above the level of the sea people and
houses were found-Indians mostly,
though some Of them are descendants
of the old Incas, who refuse to conform
to the religion or customs which Spain
forced upon their ancestors 500 years
ago.

The French Kitchen.

The French kitchen, however small,
is always neat and in order, its brick
floor and blue and white thing giving
a picturesque appearance, often accent
ed by a rose-bush or other growing
plant in the window. Space Is
economical in every other point but
the range, which is strikingly gener-
Gus in size in comparison with other
appointments. The French cook de-
lights in copper kitchen utensils which
form such a shining array as to be al
most dazzling in effect. These are
hung in rows on the wall above and
convenient to the range, probably be-
cause kitchen closets are unknown in
France. The dresser (much the same
as in this country, is kept so clean
with spotless lace covers on every
shelf, as to serve as ample testimony
of the dainty standard of both mis-
tress and maid.

position Of Wool In sheep Husbandry.

favored localities such a course of

a claim it should not be forgotten that
the American markets in the past have
not been glutted with a large supply
OF the medium and coarse grades OF
wool, while the scarcity of fine woods,
owing to the common stock of the
country being largely Merino grades,
has not been apparent until within
the past few months, although a few
or the breeders of Merino sheep have
persistently prophesied that former
conditions would return, and that the
grading up of fiocks for the produce
ton OF the finer grades Of wool would
again profitably engage the attention
of American sheep men. Fashion in

which has always been a potent fac

Sir William Martin Conway, the dar-
isg explorer, always finds a warm cor
ner and a hearty greeting in the hearts
OF the people of the United States,
for they themselves are daring and
fearless. During the last twelve years
Sir William has explored the Hima-
layas. searched for information in
Egypt and in the far east, ~traversed
The Alps, the Andes and S~pitzbergen,
and approached the confines of dis
coVery In the arctic regions. He is no
common traveller and explorer. He goes
for scientific and geographical research
that the world may know more of what
It contains. Sir William is enroute to
Bolivia to make a second exploration
and survey of the Andes.
In 1898 Sir William conceived the
Idea of exploring the Andes to ascer-
tain their secrets and compare them
with what he had discovered in the
Alps and the Himalayas. He assembled
the 1llimani peaks, the highest one be-
Ing 1880 feet above the level of the
sea. He was the first white man, and
more than likely the first human be-
Ing, to explore these peaks since the
days of the Incas, a once powerful and
highly cultivated people, but who were
in their decline as a nation when Pr
zarro swooped down upon them with
Spanish soldiers and took their coun-
try from them.
Traces Of the Inca civilization still
remain showing that people to have
been a superior race. Their system of

The first night out from the 16. 700
foot level the party pitched their tents
at an altitude of 18, 900 feet with great
satisfaction. for 1t was evident that
the outworks of the mountain fortress
were now passed; 1t only remained to
deliver the assault on the final peak.
Before 2 o'clock next morning the
party were winding upward among
great yawning crevasses by the light of
a candle. Fifteen miles away. across
the great valley Of the La Paz river,
another twinkling light was visible,
shining through the window of a re-
mote farmhouse. The night was not
cold (only 81 degrees F~ahrenheit), but
the snow was as hard as a board and
rapid progress was made. Once one Of
the marty fell into a crevasse but, be-
ing roped, no harm was done. The old
o rising over the snow field rem
dered the lantern needless. Two hours
and a half after starting the head of
the glacier was reached, the very crest
of the Cordillera Real, and we looked
down an appalling precipice of at least
$4,000 feet into the black depths Of
some valley of fertile Youngas. 1t was
still night.
The party when it next rested was
300 feet above the sea. Here the
first view of the eliminating peaks Of
1llimani rising out of the great snow
plateau was had. Four snow-white
peaks besides the Pico del Indio rose
out of it. The two on the extreme
right and extreme left respectively
were evidently higher than the other
but which of these two was the Gull
minating point was uncertain. The
same uncertainty exists in all views of

According to an Australian writer
there is not a large number of horses
in that country fit for army use. The
principal Australian horse shippers
are unanimously of the opinion that
should the same high standard of
quality as is insisted upon by the re-
mount officials in India be adhered
to, the available supply in the colony
will be found to be very limited in
deed. The Indian requirements are
stated to be most stringent. To pass
the standard only well-bred horses,
with plenty of bone substance, stand
any chance of acceptance. The best
height is between Is hands 2 inches
and Is hands 8 inches, although up to
16 hands will pass muster. The limit
Of age Is seven years, and it is the
general experience of shippers that the
slightest blemish is a certain bar to
the horse being accepted. The Indian
veterinary inspectors insist upon all
horses submitted to them being clean

sszse Ia tpAt Fields.

Wherever srSEf exists In pats the
financial loss TO the farmers is very
great, though this 2ac& Ii not usually
appreciated. The Department of
Agronomy OF the Illinois College of
Agriculture Is making a special effort
this year to ascertain the losses in
Illinois oat fields due to smut. The
loss last year was estimated at 81, $780,
600. Those Of our readers who will
help in this work should send to the
University at Urbana for a circular
giving instructions how to make the
estimates. Among other things the
instructions contain the following,
which will be of interest to all our
readers: In order to determine the
per cent of smutted heads take an
ordinary barrel hoop or light frame of
any kind OF convenient size and throw
over a spot in the field, selected at
Count all of the stalks in
l d the hoop and note the number on
the blank given on last page OF this
paper. Now count the stalks affected
by smut and set down. in the proper
column of the same blank. Repeat this
operation in three or more places in
every field in order to get an average
OF smutted stalks for the field.
Caution.-Care should be taken that
none of the smutted stalks are passed
by unnoticed.
l. The smutted stalks are usually
shorter than the ilealtty ones, and
consequently are overlooked in count
ing.
2. The smutted heads do not always
push out Of the sheath and these
stalks are counted as merely dwarfed
plants, when if the sheath is unrolled
the head will be found to be smutted.
3. The smut appears early, and by
the time the oats are ripe has been
mostly whipped off by the wind, in
many instances leaving only a bare
stalk or stub.
The so-called blighting of oats is
generally caused by smut, although
the smut may have disappeared en-
tirely.
