BUSINESS WOMEN AS WIVES.
Tact I'm Fiscal Affairs Does Not spoil
the Woman of To-day for

A feminine writer does not regard
the business woman as untitled for the
duties OF wife and mother. She re-
CARDS il as a matter of personal taste
upon the part Of the man in the case.
If he wants a clinging vine, some one
who will put him on pedestal and be
grateful that fate has given her a god
usually inlet him keep away from
the business woman. But If he wants
a chum who will take him for what
he is-and in spite of it--who will be
a wife and pal. and will be n solid COM
fort To him. let him choose a woman
who has been out into the business
world and gained a broader view of
the world and OF man.
Such a one will take n man for just
what he is worth-no foolish ideals
about his greatness; just plain man
good fellow who won't bluff, because
he knows he cannot. and they will be
happy. because neither expects too
much.

An Aquatic Fowl That IL Too Indoient

During a recent trip through the

looking beak, in form something like
the dodo, now extinct. ! have spent
much time in watching this fowl
which is found in some of the shallow
lakes, and the chief point of interest
10 me was the startling stupidity dis
played. They call them shags, 1 be-
lievc, out west. They generally squat
on stumps or logs IN the lake and
watch for the smaller fish that play
around the surface OF the water. They
are fairly clever in catching what they
want, and they throw out their bills
with considerable precision when they
gig for game. But they never get 10
eat what they catch until they have
fed az least one and maybe more than
one member OF another kind OF water
fowl. Whenever "A shag begins 20 catch

have, on one occasion, seen one shag
feed as many as three water hens be-
fore eating a single fish. IL is certain
~ a singular display of stupidity, and
after having watched the performance
a number of times am convinced that

ARIzONA's GLASS MOUNTAIN.
Remains of Prehistoric People Found
Near an Extinct Volcano In nm
Unknown Region.

A party of archaeologists and anti
quarians have made important discov-
cries in the hitherto UNEMPLOYED region
at the northern limit of the Harqua
Hala range of mountains in Arizona.
A great desert and the total absence OF
water have prevented any previous ex-
animation, and only the Indians know
of the curiosities of these mountains,
says the New York sun.
One side OF one mountain rises in ter
races, and presents many features re-
calling the Grand canyon of the Col
orado. The whole mass is of obsidian.
or volcanic glass, and glitters in colors
OF green, blue and black. IL may be
seen on clear mornings at grea: dis
tances and the glitter Of the noun
tain has lured many travellers in its di-
rection.
The exploring party found under
high shelving rock a narrow necked
ola, or earthenware jar, bottom side
up, containing human bones, broken
hammer and a metate, or stone EN-
ployed by the prehistoric races OF Ari-
iona probably for the same purposes
as a similar utensil Is used by the
aborigines of to-day for grinding
maize. Slabs, turquoise stones and
other curiosities were revealed by Dig
cling, and there were marks on buried
rocks which were supposed 10 be In
scriptions \ careful study of the GU
riosities was not made, but another
party will be organized for the pur-
pose of unearthing all available relics
in the mountain and 20 study them.
The mountain of glass is a marvel OF

as the last eruption left il, except that
where fractures have occurred the

cauic glass are brilliantly reflected.

John Philip Sousa in the New York
World. These syncopation ~ vocal

America undoubtedly has more

a common attribute of young people.

The movement of the right hand al
the piano suggested the rhythm Of
hand-clapping used in some Of our
country dances. The common 'call" in

invention Of the term rag time" re-

UNIVERSAL ENERGY.
Electrical Influence May lie a. Moving
Force I'm the Motion OF the
spheres.

This age Is giving dignity and place
10 electricity that were not dreamed
of few years ago, and now comes NJ
L. Pence. professor Of physics in the
Kentucky college, at Lexington, claim
ing-and not without strong proof
that the space peryading ether is
form of electricity.
This theory strongly supports Mr.
Tesla's claim that intelligences i'm
widely separated planets can com
municate with each other. and is in
line with the often expressed hypothe-
sis that electrical energy plays a great
part In the motion Of the spheres, and
may be the real cause Of what we call
gravity"
Even Newton said he doubted the
power of matter attracting matter
through a vacuum, and intimated that
he believed there must be some moving
substance or energy forcing the bodies
together, and he found the law that
the force of attraction diminishes ac-
cording 10 the inverse square TO be in
accord with the theory. Now, accord
ing to Prof Pence. we may End that
electrical energy is forcing matter in
all directions, and is the cause of what
we term attraction of gravitation.
This electrical ether. if il exists, is
consistent with well-known facts in
wireless telegraphy, and its permeat-
ing the earth may, IL is claimed, be the
real cause Of the ground circuit.

a narration Of the laws relating 20

Puritan observance of the Lords day
had its origin with the Puritans of old
England and reached its fullest devel-
opment in Puritan New England, says
Donahoe's Magazine.
None of the laws were more rigidly
enforced than those intended TO pre-
vent the "prophaning OF the Lords
day" The old records are full of con
victions for violation of them. Capt
Kimble, of Boston, was in 1856 set for
two hours in the public stocks for his
"lewed and unseemly conduct" which
consisted in kissing his wife publicly

OF his house, when he had Just re-

he was brought before the court and

Business is not inseparable from

only as grocers. Scion and Thales,
wise men OF the Greeks, were mer-
chants; Plato peddled oil; Spinzona,
the philosopher, mended spectacles.
Linnaeus was a cobbler as well as
botanist Shakespeare prided himself
more upon his success as a stage man

During 1900 some $4,000 hail shoot
ing stations were established in Italy
and a very large number in France

dence whatever that the shooting
done az these stations has had any
effect upon hailstorms. The quantity
OF powder employed is usually so
small that the vortex rings do not
rise further than thousand feet.
They do not, therefore, reach the

this method Of changing hail into
