Ernest Seton Thompson, the author
and naturalist, gave some thrilling
stories of animal life in his talk on
Some Animals Have Known" tho
other night at the Peabody Institute,
in the course of lectures given by the
Public School Teachers Association
An interesting part of the address was
the lecturers imitation of the calls and
cries Of the different animals. Mr..
Thompson told some OF the comedies
and the tragedies, too, of animal life
One of the latter was the story of

every effort to kill or capture him.

Training Wives.


One of the most interchangeable advo-
~ca1es o5l -aohaRif. tights used to say
that it was the greatest pesihi6fais-
take for girls to be brought up 70 re-
gard marriage as profession. The
danger nowadays seems to lie in the
opposite direction, and women appear
to think that no kind Of training IS
necessary in order to fit them for the
duties that will devolve upon them II

ers should train their daughters to
snare husbands and to regard matri-
mony as their predestined end Is I'M
questionably mistake; but that our
modern system does not make for do
nestle felicity is. unhappily, only too
evident. However, we get over all our
troubles at this end OF the century by
the use OF serum or by technical
schools, and it is therefore not in the
least surprising to learn that train
ing college is in course of formation
where girls can be taught their duties
as matrons. Naturally. housewifely
duties come first in the course Of
studies, then care Of children, then
the preservation of personal appear
ance. And 1t may be here noted that
this is by no means an Insignificant
subject for wives to study. We know,
alas! that the average woman looks
older than the average man, who is
very susceptible to good looks and that
inde1nable attractiveness that clothes
can give a woman il they are we'll
chosen and we'll put on. Every wife
cannot have unlimited dress money or
credit at her modiste's, but she can be
careful to keep wrinkles and dowdiness
at bay. One can easily imagine that
the classes for this subject will be well
attended at the school for wives; but
1t is impossible to imagine how pupils
are to be practically trained in tact,
which is also included in the curric-
ulum. If the professors can teach
this, then future rulers in the divorce
court should have very easy time,
and matrimonial misunderstanding
become exceptional. But how is it to
be done? Can the leopard change its
spots or the Ethiopian his skin? And
Edwins and Angelinas all the world
over are daily giving each other all

A Hint as to Table Linen.

The preferred table linen is of fine
damask with an embroidered cipher.
This device is no longer made very
large and conspicuous, and is not much
greater for the tablecloth than for the
napkins There is nothing SO difficult
to judge as table linen; no fabric where
authorizations or exact qualities are SO
difficult to discern. In other than
high-grade establishments, where one
must depend upon personal judgment
for the purity of fabric, there are
few points to keep in mind. Pure linen
is hard and slippery, never soft and
pliable. If a moistened finger be ap-
piled to an all-linen cloth the moisture
Will at once appear on the other side,
whereas in mixed goods it will appear
slowly or not at all. The flax odor is
always noticeable in linens, and every
woman should learn to recognize it or
its absence. Sheets with ruffled tops
are again used, after being long aban-
doned. Sheets and pillowcases, with
the bolster cases, If bolster is en-
ployed, are made in sets to match.
Yellow or grayish lace, now seen on
underwear, is likewise adopted for bed
linen. Hemstitching is another dec

The laces which are chosen for trim

Mechlin, Valenciennes and guipure.

Again attention is called to those es-
sentially feminine habits of putting
pins In the mouth or moistening a
pencil with the lips. A pin swallowed
means only a surgical case, but the
greater danger lies in the contagion
that may be lurking in the pin itself.
Under the head of the pin, or in the
point of the pencil, all kinds Of ma
lignant germs may be located, which
will be transmitted by the mouth
quicker than any other way. 1t hardly
seems possible that anyone needs to be
cautioned against holding money be-
tween the lips, yet person can scarce
ly go a block on street car without
noticing some one INDUCING in the
dangerous habit.

A REPUGNANT TALE.
II is Charged that Lumpy Jawed Cow Was
Killed and Sold In this City for Beef.

II is Charged that Lumpy Jawed Cow Was
Killed and Sold In this City for Beef.
On Monday Mrs. +. ID. RAYMOND of
the NatcheeZ made complaint to Mayor
Redman that lumpy jawed COW, with
running sores, had been killed in the
neighborhood where she lives and the
carcass had been brought to this city for
sale. The mayor at the time was on his
wav to the reservation to attend to his
duties there and could not give the al
tention to the matter which it demanded,
but he said he would pay reward Of
$25 to anyone who would furnish proof
OF such violation to health and law as
would secure conviction of the guilty
parties.
THE HERALD knows none of the facts
in the case and all it can do as a public
newsgatherer is to relate the story as told
by Mrs. Raymond, who asserts that the
COW had been a nuisance and eye-sore to
the people on the Natcheez for some
time past. Finally party bought
it from the owner for So, claiming that
he was going to kill the animal and feed
the meat to his chickens He then Dor
rowed a gun from neighbor and the
lumpy-jawed head was soon in evidence
in proof that the animal was dead
Shortly afterwards he drove to town with
load OF what appeared to the neighbors
to be beef covered with the customary
cotton wrappings. What became OF the
beef THE HERALD is unable to saw. but
MIR. Rand, who controls the meat business
OF this city, elnphaticaly denies that he
made any such purchase. If there is
truth in the story it should be thoroughly
investigated by the authorities and pun
ishment should follow any violation of
the law, as public health is of too much
importance to admit OF triting with it.

THE FORESTRY RESERVE.
The Stoekmen Meet Superintendent Shelter
and Agree on Range Lands

Superintendent d. b. Shelter, OF the
forestry reserve, accompanied by his
wife, arrived here on Monday from Ia
coma, and according to the call preyi
ously published, Mr. Shelter met the
sheep and cattle men at the Commercial
club rooms on Tuesday. There was
great gathering OF stockmen, and not
only was Yakima strongly represented,
but there were many here from kittitas
and Kickitat counties, and even from
the Oregon side OF the Columbia river
There was much pulling and hauling,
caucusing and wire working to secure
advantages. The sheepmen claim that
the cattlemen We're allotted all they were
entitled to and perhaps little more, but
those who had no direct interest one way
or the other are rather of the opinion
that the division was about as impartial
as could be made.
There are some changes from last year
in the boundary lines between the two
interests, the most important being that
the cattlemen have district on the Big
klickitat set off for their exclusive use,
and are to have the ranges at the head of
the Cowychee and Ahtanum during the
month of June, after which they are to
be jointly occupied by both interests for
the season as previously outlined in

range lands east Of the summit are re-
served for sheep. Applications from the
