And the poor man. springing UP like q
name gone crazy. climbs the little stair
way with single bonnd and goes upon
the stage. his hair in disorder. and his
eyes bright with tears.
His entrance makes the hall Shake with
cheers. Then, intoxicated with this echo
of former happy days. he plays his great
scene like a master His looks are wild
his demeanor overwhelming; his speech
has periods and gradations where the
torture of his soul is painted clearly.
His voice at first is filled with tears
then supplication, and now threats. II
is grand, justice descended in the drama
as the day descends upon the earth.
AT this moment Saturnin recognizes Ju-
lius's steps behind the curtain at the
back and hears the words:
1T is all over. she is dead"
Then, beating his face with his fists,
tearing out his hair by handfuls. his body
thrown back, he cries:
My wife is dead. She is dead-do you
understand? She is dead
And he fell to the floor in the midst of
his frightened companions and before the
audience delirious in its applause. The
play was ended.
lhe cheers recalled him to life. He rose
and, like a man deprived OF his reason,
holding a comrade by each hand he salu-
ted the public without seeing 1t, the great
public that was fascinated by his mere
look.
The crowd filed slowly out, without
knowing anything, without guessing any
thing.
".
The next MORNING. the public letter
writer. the oracle for the honest people OF
Batignolles. declared that Saturnin had
played his part as though 1t were a
reality.
At nightfali many who had not seen the
renewal of THE Hand OF God" and many
more who had seen it, wended their way
toward the tugglers theatre. Alas, Each
one was forced to turn his steps home

alton.
Saturnin was seated on n chair at the
window of his wagon. his elbows resting

The Department of Agriculture is
preparing TO fight the ravages of the
San Jose scale throughout the country
with It's natural enemy, the ladybug,
brought for the interior of China.
Assistant Botanist Marlatt has lust
returned from the ORIENT, where he
sought the original home of the dread
Ell scale. Far IN tho interior of tho
latter country, where European plants
have not penetrated, he found the scales
and also the ladybugs, which keep the
scales IN subjection and permit the
native plants to flourish. Mr.. Marlatt
started home with good supply of
these ladybugs, but only sixteen sur
vived on arrival IN this country, and
fourteen of them subsequently died.
The Two remaining, however, were
nursed carefully by the government,
with n view to fighting the scale in the
same manner as in China. There are
not fifty of them, requiring the con.
stant gathering of scales from the de-
partmcnt grounds for food. While not
expecting the scales to be exterminaL-
cd from this country, experts are
planning to attack them with the in-
creasing breed of their natural enemies.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
finds it necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the homo SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before 1t is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

TRISTAN D'AcUNHA.
Little Communication With the Rest
of the World.

The death, in his ninety fifth year, of
Thomas Watson, the governor of the
small island of Tristan d'Acunha, in
the South Atlantic ocean, directs at
tention to little community which is
practically severed from compunica-
ton with the rest of the world.
Tristan d'Acunha was discovered by
the Portuguese in 1906, and formal pos
session was taken of this small speck
in the ocean in 1917 by company of
British artillery, for the purpose of
keeping a watch on Napoleon, at that
time a prisoner in st. Helena. On the
death of Napoleon the soldiers We're
withdrawn. with the exception of Cor
poral Glass and two companions, who,
with some whaling men, were the
founders of the present settlement.
The colony fiourished and numbered
in 1898 twentyseven souls, and in 1887
there was n population of ninety-seven.
Property is held in common, and there
is no strong dring, and no crime, while
the inhabitants are healthy and long
lived The oldest inhabitant acts as
governor \ ship of war pays the is
land an annual visit, and brings tho
only mail that ever reaches the inhabi-
tants The settlement is in a fertile
part of the island, and is called New
Edinburgh. The population has been
for some years almost stationary, and
is kept down by migrations to the
Cape.
Watson went to Tristan d'Acunha
from the Cape sixty-five years ago, and
never afterwards left the island.-Buf-
falO Commercial.

Mr.. Ray Stannard Bakers article
on Irrigation" in his series on The
Great Southwest in The Century for
July, will not be the first on that sub
ject printed in the magazine, but 1t is
the most timely, coming just as irriga-
ton is receiving the greatest attention
in and out of Congress. AS an exposi-
tion of this subject, with Mr.. Bakers
usual array of practical details, sta
tistics, color and incident, this article
is likely to attract the attention of the
press and the reading public, particu-
larly in the West. The picturesque
features of the irrigable country are
set forth ar;istically by the pencil of
Mr.. Maxfield Parrish, who, it will be
remembered, was specially sent to this
region TO illustrate this series. The
Century announces that Mr.. Bakers
articles have had the advantage of
careful revision by government ex-
perts, and that they found them sin
gularly accurate.

When the scandal connected with the
charges for Arapahoe county printing
came 20 light. Secretary of State David
A. Mills instructed Printing Clerk Rich
ard Ballinger, to investigate and report
in regard to the charges of the Smith
Brooks Printing Company for state
work. After an investigation Mr.. Bal
linger reported that so far as items COW
cred by the state contract We're con-
cerned there was no chance for crit
icism, as everything was within the
price stipulated in the contract, and
not one instance of overcharge was
found. As to items that We're not men
toned in the contract there was not
the same fast and firm rule to guide the
printing clerk, but he was certain that
even there the amounts paid to the
Smith Brooks company We're cafe from
criticism.

DEFECTS OF THE COLLEGE.
Gees Not Fit People for the Affairs Of
Practical Life.

The college graduate is unfit for the
practical affairs of life. according to
Prof. Oscar l.. Triggs of the Universi-
ty of Chicago, who delivered an ad-
dress before the graduates of the jew
ish training school in Sinai temple.
Professor Trigg's address was n plea
for more schools of technology and
fewer colleges where the literary
course Is the principal one. He de
clared that the college man went out
in the world unprepared for the condi-
tions which surrounded him; that the
ideal of culture which had been so
strongly urged upon him can be of ser
vice to him only in n state of compara-
tive idleness.
