The Austrian Wife.

What would the women's clubs of this country have to say had they to face such decision as was handed down by the Austrian supreme court of appeals not long ago? The decision in brief was that if wife saves money from the amount allowed her by her husband for household expenses and appropriates this money to her own use she commits what is to all intents and purposes theft. The case that brought this decision was that of couple named Daun. After thirty years of married life they were divorced, and Mrs. Daun took with her the sum Of S625. her savings of thirty years. Her husband brought suit and recovered the whole amount, and the judges made the ruling that Mrs. Daun had prac- tically committed theft.

THEY CRUSH THE POWERS

This is written in mid October. The long, oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading leaf, whitening treo and the rustling corn in the fields are signs of the season.

young Engllshman has invented q new automatic weaving loom for which great things are claimed. Richard Marsden. editor of The Textile Mcr. cury, says of it:
 Tt is capable of attachment at n comparatively small cost to existing single box looms. There are S50.oo0 power looms In Great Britain. Out of this number Crossley's invention will be capable of being applied to 100000,
 "There is no commercial limit to the speed of the loom of that adjustment. Assuming that a loom Is working nt POO picks per minute, which is good average rate, this loom without my pause in its action changes the shuttle in one four-hundredth part of a minute that Is, half revolution of the first shaft.
 Tt effects this change and at the same time entirely avoids the faults made In looms as ordinarily construct. ed-thnt Is, making what are termed thick and thin places in the cloth either by putting too much or too little weft in."
 Use For Wire Grass.
 The despised wire grass of the Wis consin marshes, which has annoyed farmers and cattle raisers for years, which cattle would not eat, drought would not destroy and cultivation could not eradicate, is now being har vested and made into doormats and binding twlne. About 1,50o men find pmDIoympnt In the factories usIup khp grass, and there is promise of n rapid growth in the industry. It has now been shown that good mats can be made from the grass, and factories to produce such goods are being erected. They will also try to make rugs, mat. ting, carpet lining, bagging and other like goods from the material.

Farewell to Death.

Years ago I was at Fire Island, Long Island, and I went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours be- fore they come into port. There is an opening in the wall, and the operator puts his telescope through that opening and looks out and sees vessels far out at sea. While I was talking with him he went up and looked out. He said. We are expecting the Arizona to- night" I said: "Is 1t possible you know all those vessels? Do you know them as you know mans facep He said: "Yes. I never make a mistake. Before see the hulls often know them by the masts. I know them ali I have watched them so long,"

THE trend of sentiment towardsa COM
promise primary election law applying to
counties that might elect to try the re-
form is meeting with some opposition.
The Hudson Star Times has this sugges-
ton to offer:
"The Star Times said at the outset Of
this discussion that it would not oppose
such a trial of the new idea. Inasmuch
as the republican party has been led into
the muss to such lengths as it has pos
sibly some such compromise would be
wisest and best. A county local option
system would be still better; with a
dropping out of it's operations in NUM-
pal elections of all cities under 5000 in
habitants The folly of having such
complex and expensive machinery at
spring elections in cities like Hudson
must be manifest to every citizen who
has just passed through our meagre and
harmless little campaign of caucuses and
conventions to secure new city officers.
By all means do not load down the little
cities with lot of claptrap machinery;
and in fact rural counties need it about
as much as a horse needs two heads.
But as reform is reform" if we must
have compromise trial of it let it begin
and end with the counties and the large
cities"

WHILE the population of the United
States has increased a little less than
fifty per cent in twenty years the sales
of stamps by the Postoffice Department
are said to be about three times as large
as twenty years ago. Total postal re-
ceipts in round numbers amounted to
about S1O3,5O0O00 for 1900, S99,0OO,O0O
for 1899 and S91 100000 for 1898, and in
crease in three years of over S12,O0O,OO0.
The figures for 1900 fall little short of
three times those of 1881 and are over
twice those of 1888.

brough who appeared in our course at
the Tabernacle this season. Mr.. Kim
brough is born pianist and an artist of
the highest type. He captured our peo-
pie from the very start, and the 5000
auditors were perfectly carried away
with his playing, encoring him at one
time three or four times, and the ovation
which he received was>such an one as is
seldom seen in Nashville. His playing
is marvellous He was more heartily APP
plauded than Padereski on the occasion
of his recent visit here, and the evident
enthusiasm over his playing was greater
than that over the great Poles playing
This may sound like extravaganza praise
but is not; it is meagre justice. One
would have had to have seen our audi
ence as it called Kimbrough back for
the third or fourth time to fully appre-
ciate the effect. Respectfully,
