A rather curious method Of burglar
catching was resOrted to by an in
genious maidservant recently in New
York. AS The Electrical Review tells
tile story, while in pursuit Of her
household duties the maid noticed a
mans foot inside the clothes closet.
She did not scream. neither did she
jump at the door nor shut 1t with
bang. Instead she took broom and
began to sweep that corner of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done so naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious Dur
glar. At last the broom brushed the door
gently. but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched,
which she at length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against 1t.
AS the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her If she called
for assistance. she bethought herself
of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs OH a wire that
runs TO another house in the block.
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped wire, attached
testing instrument and called up one
of the down town exchanges which In
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters.
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the house, and
two policemen were sent around and
got the man.

Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas
queen OF the Ratchet, is a fanatic. No
one OF sound mind could gainsay that.
Yet there Is strong sentiment of
truth IN the text of her attack upon
Governor Stanley OF Kansas when she
says: "You can close every saloon In
kansas If you will, Gov. Stanley. You
are law-breaker yourself if you do
not. You took your oath of office to
keep the Constitution. You are not
only law breaker but periurer''
The laws of the state in whose gov
ment he is chief executive distinctly
proclaim the sale Of Intoxicating liqour
to be illegal. yet before his own eyes
the law is utterly disregarded by hun
dreds of citizens to whom the moral
support Of thousands of their fellows
is given freely. But he is politician
ana ne dares MT offend powerful
lactlon, even when his duty plainly
calls for determined action, although
should an occasion arise where much
less extensive defiance of the law
should prevail, and execution of the
statutes might be met with popular
favor. he would not hesitate to call
out the whole state militia to protect
the dignity Of the Legislative branch
OF the commonwealth. This problem
needs solution, not only in Kansas but
in other states as well, some Of them
not a great many miles away from
the place where the New Hampshire
Grants used to be.

j. Tindall of Williamstown. 1t is a
worthy tribute to the late Queen Vic
toria and we take pleasure in giving
publication to the same, as follows;
The loss keen-felt but proves the gain
In having held thee for space;
A spirit calm, serenely sweet,
Thou hast assembled to the skies.
A queenly woman, and a queen,
Who ruled vast realms and faltered
not,
Till waiting angels took the crown
From her tired brow, and bid her rest.
IT'S not thy regal lot in life
That bids US mourn at it's sad close;
Nay-'tis grander GLADDEN.
Thy sweet and tender womanhood.

only one way to cure deafness, and that

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its

The fact that the abnormal behavior
of the widened lines in the spectra Of
sunspots since 1894 had been accom-
panied by irregularities in the rainfall
of India. led Sir Norman Lockyer into
an attempt to correlate the two series
of facts. He has discovered, as a mat
ter of fact, that the effect Of these
solar changes is felt in India at sun
spot maximum, and in Mauritius at
sunspot minimum. OF these, the great
er is that produced in Mauritius at
sunspot minimum. The pulse at Maui
ritius at sunspot minimum is also felt
In India, and gives rise generally to a
secondary maximum in India. India,
therefore, has two pulses of rainfall,
one near the maximum and the other
near the minimum period. 1t has been
found from q study of the Famine
Commission reports that all the fam
ines therein recorded which have de-
vastated India during the last half
century have occurred in the intervals
between these two pulses. 1t has also
been found from an investigation of
the Nile curves between the years 1919
and 1878 that all the lowest recorded
states Of the river have occurred be-
tween the same two intervals. Sir
Norman Lockyer's work is a serious
attempt to make possible the predic-
ton of Indian famines.

inventions nipped in the bud by the
edicts of proprietors of hotels and
other places that such apparel shall
not be allowed within their precincts?
Perhaps it would be the part of wis
dom for intending makers and wearers
of this article. undeniably comfortable,
to inform themselves on the probable
attitude of restaurant keepers before
undertaking any large outlay for this
part of a summer costume. OF course,
If an article is worn universally, th;t
makes assent to its appearance univer

be worn even by one-half the male
population? Or will its wear in public
be confined to few bold spirits who
lead where others dare not follow? 1t

Residents of Shreveport, La, com
plain that while in former years many
varieties of American birds made their
homes in that vicinity. great change
has been brought about by the Eng
lish sparrow. This pugnaclous little
creature first appeared there about ten
years ago and soon changed from All
unobtrusive twisterer to a savage
fighter with a raucous voice and dis
position to fly at every feathered thing
not thrice its size. The result is that
very few birds winter there now and
it is about the only small feathered
creature seen at any time.

LADY CURzoN.s PARTIES.
New Form of Entertainments Which
Amuses Indla's 400.

Amuses India's 400.
Elephant parties are the latest form
Of amusement to be invented by Lady
Curzon to entertain midas 400. II
seems that several OF the native rul.
ers have taken a great fancy to her
and the Maharajah of Durbhunga re-
Gently made her a unique gift by plac-
ing at her disposal magnificent herd
Of elephants.
The vicereine was at loss to know
just what to do with the gift at first
Then the idea occurred to her of CIV
ing an elephant party. She arranged
it so that each animal was to bear a
young woman and an attendant saint
to a rendezvous, where tiffin was to be
served to the assembled pairs.
Lady Curzon herself rode the largest
elephant in the group, and in her how
dab of silver was protected from the
sun by an umbrella Of white silk. bor-
dered with pearls. Her nshout car
ried silver goad and fly fan. The
trappings of her mounts were en-
broidered in silk and gold while a
festoon of pearls hung around the ele-
plants ears.
The first party was such a success
that her ladyship gave several more,
and now the fad has developed into
almost a craze.
The humorous side of these affairs
was supplied by the elephants them
selves, who insisted on testifying to
their affection by snatching treasures
from passersby, or from the bazaars,
and bestowing them upon the rider
This thoughtfulness on the part of the
elephants several times became en-
barrassing, especially when the gift
happened to take the form Of naked
Indian child. One chubby little boy
the son of the elephants keeper, wear
ing only a string of beads, was lifted
into the vicereine's howdah, causing
great amusement to the party. Lady
Curzon received the gift graciously
and gave the child present to take
home
