Answer: IL is not probable that YOU can

can prevent the milk wasting by winding

enough to prevent the milk passing. Then
use silver milking tube with which to
draw the milk from that teat This YOU
may do possibly without removing the

ITO promote the musical interests of
the city OF st. Cloud and the mutual i'm
prevement of its members, the an
nounced object Of the club, is always
kept in mind, and the Schumann mem
bers are required during the year to do
a great amount of hard work in carry
Ing out the programmes arranged for
each Of the clubs meetings.
On Oct. 26, 1901, the Schumann club
entertained the federated clubs Of st.
Cloud at a symposium meeting, the &C.
caslon being one Of the most enjoyable
in clubdom in a long time.
sOrOsis Are Travellers.
The Sorosis club is distinctly one of
travel, and is the smallest Of the three
organizations which claim the ladies of
st. Cloud as members. The club was
organized about ten years ago, largely
through the efforts of Miss Charlotte
Clarke, who is still an active member
Of the club.
The membership is limited to fifteen,
and vast amount of work devolves on
the members, as meetings are held every
Monday afternoon at the homes of the
members. During the existence of the
club the entire study has been on the diff
ferent countries of the globe, taking up
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-01-12

in each the geography, art, literature,
religion and the discussion Of current
topics.
Usually, one years study is devoted to
each country, but some times more is
necessary, two years being devoted to
Spain. This year the clubs travels are
through Russia, and some time ago Dr.
s. G. Smith, of St. Paul, delivered a lee
ture on that country before the club,
aiding materially in the study then in
progress.
The first meeting Of the season was
held on Nov. 4, at which time map
study was the subject Of a paper by
Mrs. Gilman; ethnography and charac-
teristics Of the people by Mrs Schilplin,
and Bilint and folk lore by Mrs Noble.
The series will end with the meeting
ON April IA, when Mrs. Keeberger

cussion of HowelI's essay on Tolstoy;
Mrs. Hill a review Of "War and Peace"
or Anna Karenina;'' Mrs. Atwood
''Tolstoy's Religion and Philosophy"
The annual meeting of the club is held
April Il this year, and the annual picnic
In June. The club is particularly happy
in having for a president a woman who
is highly cultured and thoroughly inter
ested in the work of the club, and the
studies which 1t is pursuing. While
there is a vast amount of work neces-
sary in the preparation Of the papers for
each of the meetings, it is of an inter-
esting and instructive character, and
there is never a dull session Of the So
rosis. The officers and members Of the
club are: Mrs. g. r. Keeberger, presi-
dent; Mrs. F. A. Ranney, vice president;
Mrs. j. E. jerks, secretary; Mrs. H c.
Erwin, treasurer; Mrs Charlotte Clarke

meeting held at Owatonna. One of tho
pleasing events that followed that meet
ing was the reception given to the other
clubs by the Schumann, at which lne
subjects discussed at the state meeting
were again talked over in far more de-
liberate manner.
Beginning of First Club.
The St. Cloud Ladies Reading Room
society enjoys the distinction of being
the Oldest of the clubs of the city. The
organization was effected on Feb. II, 1880,
through the efforts Of Mrs H. c. Waite,
when fortyfour women met for the pur-
pose Of organizing a society for advanc-
ing the interests of the city library and
establishing free reading room. The
society was vigorous one from the
start and with the aid of membership
dues and the receipts of entertainments
the society soon had a growing fund. 1t
was not until 1886, however, that the OBJ
ject of the society was carried out by
the establishment of a free reading room
While there was a sort Of library, there
was no reading room nor was there any
aid given to the library project by the
city. Three hundred dollars was first
voted to maintain reading room, and,
in after years, as the library grew the
demands on the Reading Room society
furnished each year. While the society
had as an object the promotion of So
liability and the broadening of the So
cietys interests, the main object was
the reading room, and to it the greatest
amount of attention was given. But five
CT the forty-four women who formed the
society have remained constant, and the
membership of the club has dropped as
low as twenty-six. AT the present time
the limit of sixty is reached, and there
are many waiting to become affiliated
with the society as others drop out or
remove.
When the announcement that Andrew
Carnegie had donated $4,000 for a public
library new interest was awakened in
the society and the women at once began
to arrange to do their share toward CIV
ing St. Cloud a public library of which
the city may point with pardonable pride.
Up to the annual meeting Of q year ago
the society had paid for the maintenance
of the reading room the sum of $3.50.
Last year the greatest donation was
/ made, when, with the aid of some out
side donations, the society presented to
the public library board a site for the
new Carnegie library, located In the
heart Of the city and secured at a cost of

st. Clouds. Musical Club.
AS the name would indicate the Ladies'
Schunlann club is devoted to music.
and among its members Is found the
leaders Of the musical world SO far as II
pertains to st. Cloud.
The club was organized in 1897 in q
very natural and unassuming manner
After Minneapolis teacher had finished
her Iabors in the city, she suggested to
her pupils that they meet at stated times
and sing for each other Acting upon
this suggestion Mrs. A. H Reinhard
the present president Of the club. and
Miss Aimee Boyd, one of the most cana
bic musicians in the city, undertook The
task Of organizing club A programme
was prepared, and the first meeting, an
informal affair proved such success
1t was decided to organize on business
basis and to hold meetings fortnightIy
The plan of the work assigned was TO
study the lives and works of the most
famous composers There were sixteen
charter members, but this increased
I rapidly from the start, and soon twenty
five members were enrolled, and this has
increased gradually until there is now
membership of about seventy. From
1897 until 1899 the club studied the bio
graphical reviews of classic composers
ancient and modern, and their works
During the season of 1900 and 1901 har-
mony was studied. and this season the
history of music has been taken I'M.
Until this year the meetings have been
held at the homes of the members, and
at each meeting musical programme
has been carried out.
At the beginning of the present season
1t was determined that the membership
had grown so large that the homes of
most Of the members were inadequate
and arrangements were made then to
hold the meetings in the kindergarten
han at the Normal building. In a neat
year book, issued the first Of October,
the programmes for each meeting from
Oct to Oct. II is printed, together
with the bylaws of the club.
Much Of the success attained by ths
Schumann club is due to the indefatiga-
bic work Of it's president, Mrs. A H
Reinhard, who assisted in the organiza-
ton and has been prominent in the clubs
circles since Herself a musician Of
rare ability, she devotes largely Of her
time and means to promote the interests
Of the club over wy'ieh she presides. The

Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD. Mimi, Jan. u.-There
are three womens clubs in the city
of st. Cloud, each of them organized
for some certain object. That the object
has been attained in all instances is suf-
hcent assurance that each of the clubs
has a membership devoted to every
thing tending to promote the interests Of
each organization and society generally.
The interest shown in each meeting is
another evidence that the clubs are APP
preciated and the work mapped out by
each enjoyed by the respective member
ship.
st. Clouds first and largest club, the
Ladies Reading Room society, was or
ganiZed just twenty years ago, when
st. Cloud was little more than a ham
let. The object of the organization was
a laudable one, the establishment of a
free reading room in connection with
a public library that probably had books
enough to fill an ordinary dry goods box.
The object of that society has been ac-
complished and more.
The second club is the Sorosis, organ
lied something like ten years ago. for
the purpose of travelling through for
eign countries in club fashion. The mem
bership has always been limited and the
SOrosis has studied on an average almost
one country year. This study is most
thorough, and at each of the weekly
meetings papers are read by several Of
the members and there is a general dis
cussion on current topics. Usually one
lecture a year is given by some one par
ticularly wen fitted for the subject in
hand, and by this means the member
ship has become wonderfully well versed
in the history, the art and the literature
Of many Of the foreign countries
The next club to be organized was the
LADIES' Schumann club, and music was
the natural object for study. From a
charter membership of sixteen the club
has grown to almost hundred, and the
meetings are events that are looked for
ward to with much interest by the mu-
siclans who enjoy the distinction of be-
ing included in the clubs membership.

to grace such cities Of such small pop
ulation with their presence. In addition
to being musicians of much worth, the
membership, and more especially the Of.
f1cers, are workers as well, and the great
success that has been attained by the
Schumann club is largely due to the
strenuous efforts made by the promoters
of the organization during it's earlier his
tory.
Each of the clubs is a member of the

scented by fun delegation at the last

Brain WEIGHTS.

The average weight of Scotchman's
brain is sixty ounces, an Englishmans
forty-nine, a Frenchman's little over
forty-fve. The weight of Dutch. Frisi-
an, Italian and Lapp brains come near
that of the Englishman, while the Ger
man brain is in many instances heav-
Ter. The Polish brain is forty-seven
ounces. Among Hindoo and other races
in India it is from forty-one to forty
four ounces, but Mussulmans average
more and the khonds. one of the abo-
riginal races OF India, much less-not
quite thirty-eight ounces. Travelling
toward China, the brain weight of the
tribes there settled increases. In Afri-
ca the average weight is from forty
three to forty-eight ounces; in America
that of the Indian averages forty seven
ounces; in Australia from forty to for
ty-tWo ounces.
