Yesterday when the weather man
hung out the sign that cold wave
was about to swoop down on this city
the first bought was for the wood box
and half the mon in town made a rap
i'd retreat for home. Eve"y one of
them could feel the blizzard coming
and for the first time this season the
housewives had a respectable showing
of wood. Some OF the excited family
men took the precaution u l!ace an
extra supply of liquid fire in the cup
board in case the weather got beyond
control. Just why the weather man at
| Washington should select this section
to land his cold wave is what is stick
ing the majority of the people. Up to
Thursday the wood man was register
ing a complaint that the wood bust
ness was not worth bothering with
as the people only built a fire once in
awhile. Yesterday the same people
were keeping the telephone wire hot
with orders for wood. The ice man
who has been wearing a long face now
beams all over and the supply of the
slick stuff is in sight The plumbers
were also in the line of smiles and
from the way they are hustling theil
crop is about right to harvest. Ever
the cold wave seems to be blessing
to many OF our citizens.

he Kept A-swimmin..

The other day in New York a man
named Boyle had an experience that it
is better to read about than go
through. He was working at man
hole, when the ladder gave way. He
fell into the sewer, and was carried
for more than mile underground in
torrent of water that ran like mill
race, in absolute darkness and deluged
with mud and slime and all manner of
filth. He was dashed against brick
walls, well-nigh overwhelmed with dirt
that was emptied over him from side
sewers, and finally he was pitched into
the East River and was fished out by
a bargeman. Doyle's own account of
the matter is interesting, and the chief
fact is that he never gave up. 81 kept
a-swimmin," was his succinct way OF
putting it, and even when he found
himself in the middle OF the East
River, half unconscious, he kept a.
swimmin'" One must confess to a good
deal OF admiration for a man who, I'M
der such circumstances, in about as
hopeless a condition as human being
could possibly find himself though still
keep in the game.-May Woman S

Chinese humorous literature
abounds with reference to henpecked
husbands" said Prof Herbert Allen
Giles, Of the University of Cambridge,
n the closing lecture of his course at
Columbia University. Then he went
On to tell a sample story cu1led from
this branch of Chinese literature.
Ten henpecked husbands resolved
10 form a society to resist the imposi-
tons OF their wives," he said. THE
Zen wives heard OF the plan, and while
The meeting for organization was in
progress entered in a body. Nine of
The rebellious husbands incontinently
bolted, but the tenth one retained his
place, quite unmoyed by the frightful
apparlt1on. The ten ladies, merely
smiling contemptuously on the one
man left behind, returned to their
homes satisfied with the success of
their raid. The nine husbands there
upon returned and resolved to make
the heroic tenth the president of the
society. When they went, however.
TO inform him of the honor it was
found that he had died of fright.

men have not" continued Prof. Giles.

A fond father says that nowhere is
there to be found as well-developed a
brand of natural depravity as that
which animates 6-months-old infant,
and he tells this story in confirmation
OF his opinion:
The other evening he was left alone
with his tiny son and heir The young
ster'S mother went to the theater His
aunt went out also, and SO did his
nurse, and the man was LETT in full pos
session of the field.
About o'clock, with sublime disre-
gard for modern rules, which say babes
must be put upon bed and left 10 go
to sleep by themselves, the father be-
gan to rock his child to sleep. And
he rocked and crooned and walked
steadily from that time until 8.
Then, the infant having finally sue
cumbed to natures sweet restorer,'
he arose, and, as If walking on eggs,
carried his burden steadily to the bed
room, put it down as gently as pos
sible, and withdrew. Alas, however,
in closing the door it squeaked bit,
and Mr.. Baby was as wide awake as

booed. And a woman is O source OF
anxiety and misgiying to magistrate
and counsel in any case in which she
may be a party, for no Chinaman will
enter into an argument with a woman
not from any feeling Of chivalry at
all, but from rooted conviction that
he will get the worst Of it,
Prof Giles continued to reveal mas
culine secrets by describing something
which he said really took place at a
dinner at which a number of high
class natives and important foreign
ers were present. The host, address
ing himself to the latter, inquired:
DO you fear the inner ones?"
Upon inquiry he explained that he
meant their wives, and added, with
unconscious pathos, that many China
men stood in constant fear Of their
wives.

the host, naively, pointing to sol

even more. A stone that New Guiana
gold prospector recently exchanged for
q bottle of saccharine pellets was sold
in Sydney, N. S. W.. for $500.
A popularity of the spinel is that,
no matter what be the color Of the
stone, the light which is reflected from
the depth of the gem is always a pale
yellow. A blue spinel has been con-
signed as sapphire, and was returned
to the cOnsignor, who had it cut and
received more for it than it would
have made had it really been sap
phire. A spinel collected by Dr. Heron
is said to weigh forty-nine pounds.
When spinel crystals are very fine they
are considered gems, and De Beers
think, having been found in large guam
titles in St. Lucia, it is rot unlikely
that they will be found in Martinique
and st. Vincent.

WHiM OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

Her Private Secretary.
The queens interest in and over
sight of public affairs did not cease
with the princes death, although, in
the first years of Overwhelming sor
row, it must have been difficult tc
carry out her conception of duty. AL
important resolutions were taken by
her; the personal notes in the court
circular were written by her own
hand, and were seen by no one else
When Sir Henry Ponscnby became
the queens private secretary, she
said to him: Remember this: Nc

In after years historians will have
much to say upon the queens per

ranged, and some day perhaps viii BIZ

A shakespeare MAGAZINE.

Shakespearean enthusiasts in Eng
land have combined to produce a new
quarterly magazine of which Shakes
peare is TO be the inspiration. 1t was
launched at Stratford-on-Avon on
shakespeare birthday, April %, and
it's title is the Shrine.
The idea OF its founders is that
Shakespeare was a symbolist and the
magazine is to bear witness to his
personal thought as enshrined in his
symbolism.
The magazine begins by spurning
the contention that Shakespeare was
Bacon ON the ground that Bacon's
verse is utterly contemplate, and the
mean, groveling and sometimes even
loathsome character of his moral sen
timents would be impossible to
Shakespeare.

when colored, are often very valuable.

A Benefit to Farmers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent incor-
poration Of the International Harvester
Of the five leading harvester manufac-
turers have probably not been consid-
cred by a large portion of the farming
community.
The economical necessity of consol-
idation of the interests of manufacture
ers and those Of their farmer custom
ers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and increasing cost OF
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and their several selling agents
has made the business Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas-
ing Of the prices of machines or the re-
duction of the cost Of manufacture and
sales. The latter could only be accom-
plished by concentrating the business
in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
Of the new company was not stock
:. t,G ID, s1r operation but i centering of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and tan
gible assets There is no stock offered
10 the public, it having all been sub
scribed and paid for by the manufae-
turers and their associates.
The management OF the international
Harvester Company is in the hands Of
we'll known. experienced men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus II.
Mccormick; Chairman Executive Com
mittee, Charles Deering; Chairman FL
nance Committee, George w. Perkins;
Vice-Presidents, Harold F. Mccormick,
James Deering, VIM. II. Jones and John
J. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer,
Richard e. Howe. The members Of the
Board Of Directors are as follows: Cy-
rus Bentley, William Deering, Charles
Deering, James Deering, Eldridge NJ.
Fowler, e. II. Gary, John J. Glessner,
Richard F. Howe. Abram M. Hyatt,
William H. Jones, Cyrus H. McCor-
mick, Harold F. Mccormick. George
". Perkins. Norman 3. Ream, Leslie
\. Ward, Paul D. Cravath.
The international Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest harvester
plants in existence, the Champion,
Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc-
ing nearly or quite 80 per cent. of the
harvesting machines Of the world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and a steel plant; it has
new factory in the process Of con-
struction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost of produc-
ing grain, grass and corn harvesting
machines will be so reduced that the
present low prices can be continued,
and that consequently the results can
not be otherwise than beneficial to the
GARNER. To maintain the present prices
of these machines means to continue
and increase the development of the
agriculture Of the world, for no one
cause has contributed or can contrib
ute more to this development than the
cheapness Of machines for harvesting
grains.

WHY THEY AROSE EARLY.
EXPLANATION Of the Action Of Brace
Of College Presidents.


Something more than year ago
the last meeting was held in Washing

conclusion in the Carnegie institution.
It so happened that quite number
of members of that committee eft

these were President Eliot OF Har-
ward, President Draper of the State
University of Illinois, Prof. (noW
president) Butler of Columbia, and
DR.. Garfield, now librarian of Colum-
bia, and one-time president OF the
State University of Nebraska.
In the morning President Draper
and DR.. Garfield were the first OF the
party to rise. They were dressed
and sitting in the smoker Of the sleep.
er, reading the morning papers, when
Prof. Butler came struggling in to
complete his toilet. Close upon his
heels was President Eliot. Prof. But
Ter began a good-natured trade upon
the two gentlemen who had preceded
him for their unreasonably early ris-
Ing. Presently Eliot raised his face
from the bowl and with his eyes
shut and the water stunning down,
protested:
you ought not to find fault with
Draper and Garfield for their early
rising, Butler. They have been pres
idents of agricultural colleges SO Ions
that they still think they must get up
and milk"
And the two early birds laughed as
long and as loud as the others.-New
