RAJAH WEBS A EUROPEAN.
Some of the Singular Provisiona Made
in. the Marriage Con-
tract,

It is announced that the young
rajah of Jhind, who is lord of tho
third biggest native state under the
Punjab government, has celebrated
his coming of age by marrying a Eu-
ropean girl, Miss Olive Monalesen.
daughter of Mr.. Monaiesen, of Bonn
bay. The wedding took place accord
ing to Sikh rites and was to some ex-
tent runaway one, if the match can
be so described where the bridegroom
is already the husband of at least two
native ladies. Anyway. the British
political officer was not given time
to interfere effectively, says London
paper.
The Indian Planters Gazette claims
to have seen the marriage contract
which has been drawn up in accord
ance with Sikh usage, and provides
the lady with a definite income, be-
sides making stipulations, with reser-
vations, as to how many other wives
the potentate may also possess. The
existing Maharanis are reservations.
It is an unpleasant business to An
glo-Indian thinking, this marriage of
white girl to rajah, but right
enough from the Sikh point of view.
The lady will be known as her high
ness Juswan& Kuar.
This is the second case of the kind
that has occurred of late years in the
Punjab. Thai of the late Princess
Florence of Padala was the first.

WAR ON THE COYOTE.

Ranchmen FindsatSHha(t GreyhoundR

Down.

The ranchmen of the west, who have
suffered serious loss for many years
from the depredations of the coyotes,
think they have discovered a means
for their determination. Greyhounds
alone of all the dog creation are feet
of foot enough to run down the cow
ardly little pests and at the same time
brave enough to give them battle.
Ranchers throughout the country are
paying big prices for blooded dogs,
and the friendless coyote is on a run
for his life. For years the ranchers
and plainsmen have been skeptical Of
the stamina and fighting qualities of
the greyhound in a finish fight with a
coyote, but that idea, unjust to the
big-hearted dogs, is now entirely
eradicated.
Clinton E. Worden, an enthusiastic
greyhound man, was the first to give
the dogs fair trial, and his experience
showed that greyhounds can run down
and kill singly and collectively hum
dreds of the marauders of the plains
At close quarters the coyote has not
the ghost of a chance against the grey
hound, and when pack of the dogs
or a portion of them overhaul the
quarry it is very quick time to mince-
meat for the coyote.
Packs are now being trained on
numerous ranches, and the sport and
excitement of coyote chase with
greyhounds is adding new zest to life
on the plains. incidentally the ranch
ers are Kidding themselves of disagree
able neighbors.

SUN WARDS IN HOSPITALS


The theory that sunlight exerts .
powerfully healing influence upon dis
tase processes has now become 80 we'll
established that the sunroom is re-.
garded as Decessity in q well-ap-
pointed hospital. In the plans of new
hospitals that aspire to be up to date
the solarium finds prominent place,
and to keep up with the advances Of
medical science many of the old hos
pitfalls are attaching solaria to their
buildings, says the Trained Nurse.
The sun ward il easily built. It
must be, of course, on the south side
Of the building, having it's eastern,
southern and western walls largely
constructed of glass. A good plan is
to build large bay window, with
metal frame work, and, if the hos
pital building is to be three or four
stories high, this bay window may ex-
tend to the full height of the main
structure. With this arrangement
each floor will have the advantages
of a sun ward.
The means of ventilation should be
perfect and the heating arrangements
adequate, for the sun bath is just as
practicable and useful on bright, win
try days as on sunny days of summer.
If the outlook from the windows of
the solarium is pleasant, if the land
scape is diversified with hills, trees,
green lawns or fields or lake or q
bit of the ocean, 30 much the better.
Unfortunately fer some institutions,
the south view from the hospital is
limited by walls of brick and stone
Nothing, however, can deteriorate
the direct rays of the sun, so that,
wherever possible, this exceedingly
useful and very cheap commodity
should be utilized for therapeutic ef-
fects.

THE LAST RALLY.

While no edict was heralded forth
for our business houses to close
and for all to turn out and do honor
to our esteemed townsman, Capt.
NJ. L. Fay, the reception accorded
himself and party upon their ar.
rival in the city on Monday even
ing to address Virginia audience
in the last grand rally of the cam
paign was of a nature and magni-
tude which completely overshad-
owed all former attempts at doing
honor to the city's guests, and was
a pleasing evidence to Capt. Fay of
his personal as we'll as political
standing in his home town.
Greeted by hundreds of his home
people, headed by the NJ. w. A.
Band, grand torchlight process
sion escorted Capt. Fay to the hotel
where brief informal reception
was held previous to the exercises
at the Opera House, where a .throng
greeted him later and listened to a
lucid explanation of his position
on points of direct interest to the
people of Virginia and the ranges,
his remarks bringing forth rounds
of applause.
Capt. Fay was followed by VIM.
Brown, independent candidate for
the state legislature, who made a
good impression upon his audience
as shown by the vote on the follow
ing day, being accorded the largest
vote in this city of any of the legis-
lative candidates. Mr.. Brown was
followed by NJ. H. Mcmahon, who
had stumped the district with Capt.
Fay, and who RECALLED his hearers
with a flood of oratory, not of
political nature so much as an ex-
hortation to the people of Virginia
to do their duty by their honored
townsman, whose interests are so
closely Unidentified with the welfare
of Virginia and her commercial
and industrial advancement. n : ,
A. N. Thompson, former mayor,
presided as chairman of the meet
ing, which was a successful and
enthusiastic one in every particular,
while stage seats were occupied by
leading local opponents of dem
OCracy.

.MET THE (3UYERNC1k.

Gov. Van SAINT and party, EN- body
ing number of state and county
candidates, arrived in the city on (,
special Saturday afternoon, being
met at the depot by a great many of
our citizens. The party at once re-
paired to the Fay Opera, which had
been secured for the occasion with.
out cost through the efforts of Dr.
Bates, where a pleasant informal
reception was held and addresses
made by Mayor Hugo, of Duluth,
and the Governor, NJ. c. Palmer
acting as chairman of the meeting
at the request of c. f. Nelson, local
member of the Republican county
committee.
The spacious hall was we'll filled
and the lessons of the protective
principles of the Republican party
as expounded by the speakers
met with hearty approval from the
throng of visitors.
The address by the Governor was
interrupted by the expiration OF
the time limit. His parting assur
ance to his hearers was that he liked
them, and the Virginia vote Tues
day would show that his kindly re.
gard was reciprocated. From here
the Governors train went to Hib.
bling, where an evening meeting
was held and a pleasant reception
and banquet was rendered the city's
guests.

THEY HAVE HARD SERVICE.
Soldiers In the French FOreign Le-
gion Have Anything But an
Easy Time.

The French foreign legion, which II
again the subject of Partisan political
gossip, offers about the hardest mil.
itary service in the world, and no one
who knows enters it until he has ex.
hausted all other means of support OF
wishes to bury himself, says London
paper. Men Of all nations are in its
ranks, many Of them hard characters,
criminals anu jailbirds, and it is al
ways sent by France to do the dirty
work which that country naturally
does not choose TO impose upon it's own
children.
Thus it has held the frontiers of tho
African colonies, where every now and
then post is cut to bits by wild Arab
tribe. The fever-infested portions Of
Cambodis and Indo-China, which Lodi
has described, have also been the scene
Of its exploits. The discipline, too, is
most severe. Flogging is daily occur
renee and capital punishment is the
result of the most trivial offenses.
Thus the cases Of insanity in the legion
are of much larger number than in
any other branch of the French service.
A physician who has been studying the
insanity of the legionaries says that =
majority of the cases are well devel.
oped when the men enlist. since few
sane men would ever accept the condi.
lions know to exist in this corps. He
adds that in his opinion many men shot
for breaches Of discipline were not
mentally responsible, and he says that
the same trouble may cause the insub-
ordination among the French troops
with the allies in China.

wheat from Egyptian Tombs.


The statement has frequently been
made that it is possible to cause grains
of wheat found in ancient Egyptian
sepulchers to terminate and grow.
This statement has been disputed, and
the question was discussed at a re-
cent meeting of the French Academy
of Science. It was shown that while
the albumen of wheat found in a
tomb 5000 years old had undergone
no alteration, the embryo was changed
and could not be caused to germi-
nate. But fresh embryo placed in
the ancient albumen would grow, and
this fact, it was said, probably ac-
counted for the statement that the
old Egyptian wheat rescued from its
long entombment would sprout and
grow. 4
