a century ago this verse appeared;
When first the marriage knot was tied
Between my wife and me,
My age did hers as far exceed
AS times does 3.
But when years and twice years
We man and wife had been,
Her age came then as near to mine
AS is to 49,"

( The mystery attending the injury to the
steamer Oscar II. Of the Scandinavian
American line, in which were involved
over 450 passengers bound for the north
west, has been cleared up. A. E. john
son Of New York, head of the firm of A. T..
Johnson & Co., general passenger agents
of the line for America, who was in the
city to-day, received the following
explana tory cablegram from the head
office:
= Company cables it has been ascertained by
now completed survey held by underwriters and
bureau veritas in Glasgow that Oscar Ills acci-
steamer in storm striking submerged wreck on

The QUART.
Milk and Beer Measures More CO.
pious Under the Shove
Law.
The Act Prescribes Cubic Contents
Nearly 0ne-fourth Larger Than
Present Measures.

Quarts of milk and quarts of beer will
soon7be a. great deal larger than they are
now. Ralph L. Whitney, city sealer of
weights and measures, has decreed that
beer and milk must be sold according to
the provisions of the Shove law, which
was passed in the last struggles of the
legislature to accomplish something. This
law distinctly states that "beer and milk
this is the order as given in the law
must be sold by system of measures, of
which the gallon shall contain 282 cubic
inches, a quart having one-fourth Of that
capacity. Heretofore beer has been sold
any old way and milk has been sold by
the wine measure standard, of which the
gallon contained 231 cubic inches, and
this measure has prevailed since Mime
apolis had geographical location.
With the dispenser of beer the law
will not be much of a hardship, as he can
simply draw a little more Of the 'suds. :"
The dairymen and milk vendors will,
however, not only be obliged to provide
but they will be compelled to give % per
cent more milk in their quarts. With
the excellent organization existing among
the dairymen, it is probable that they will,
II they comply with the law, raise the
price to 6 or z cents per quart.
Mr.. Whitney has been testing some dry
measures with the standard fixed by the
Ae" Id" dIlu Illus IleI1l SIlOil IHe Olu
law fixed the dimensions of the various
dry measures, but the new one simply
requires certain standard of cubic ca
pacity regardless of the shapes of the
measure. .'..,. -.
According to the new law the galvan-
lied bottomless measures, used largely by
grocers for sacking vegetables are short.
The peck measure is about right, but the
half peck measure is about 10 cubic inches
too small and the quarter peck about four
cubic, inches short. The grocers will ac-
cordingly be notified to comply with the
law. r....: e.

A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS
Needs Of "U" in That Direction Con.
sidered by Park Board and
F.. Pillsbury Heirs.

It is quite evident that the Minneapolis
park board has not abandoned the uni
versity on account Of the student rebellion
against the police last 5fall. Several loads
of new earth have recently been hauled to
the campus to lay over the peat which is
not considered good soil for foliage plants.
From the present indications it apepars
that the floral decorations this year will
eclipse those Of former seasons. Super
intendent Berry of the board said this
morning that the board had not yet de-
cided definitely what it would do at the
''U' this year. 1t will meet tomorrow
to consider the question.
= Inaaddition to the parkway decorations
the heirs Of the late John S. Pilsbury
plan to improve the whole campus. A de-
signer came here from New York last fall
and marked out a new system of drives
and arranged for extensive foliage decor
at1ons. Even if the park, board does not
give aid the general appearance of the
unive' sity surroundings will be greatly
improved by the memorial wall and the
approach along Fourteenth avenue SE. :

ELDERS WIFE SAYS:
She's Opposed to the St.. Paul Idea
of a Noiseless July
Fourth.
Mayor Haynes Would Restrict DAN
ger, but Encourage Patriotism
X in the Young. .

Elder Levi M. Stewards wife opposes
the st. Paul movement for an improved
noiseless Fourth Of July. This innovation,
first suggested by Rev. E. c. Mitchell,
pastor of the New Jerusalem Sweden
borgian church OF st. Paul. has found ad-
vocates there in the Commercial club,
committee of which has called a citizens
meeting in the interests Of quiescent pat
riotism.
But that wouldn't suit nv Wife"
commented, to-day, Elder Stewart, the
local capitalist, looking up from his desk
in the Kasota building. ''No, my wife
likes plenty of noise. I don't. prefer
a tranquil life. But that's the way we
get along SO we'll together, my wife and T.
We're always indulging in an agreeable
disagreement. They can't make too much
noise for her on the Fourth SAYS she
likes to liven things up. She means me-
sometimes.
''And you can't have too many explo-
sions to the minute to suit my bows.
They're a bit rough in their ways. those
little fellows. They're like their pa used
to be when he was small. Why, 4 never
could get anything that made row enough
for me then. At the very first report I
was up before daybreak, a-shooting all
my f1recrackers and all the other boys,

night and the night before. I sit up every
night. Work eighteen hours day every
Fourth of July, Christmas and other holi-
days. Got to keep scratching. Can't lie
abed and make a living
Some Other Opinions. T.
Mayor J. c. Haynes surmised that Rev.
Mr.. Mitchell could never have been a.
boy. He must be trying to make St..
Paul the New Jerusalem" Fiant flrecra ck-
ers and toy cannons should be forbidden.
the mayor thinks, but the noisy Fourth is
an American institution.
1T is a matter for regulation, not for
prohibition" declared Major R. r. Hen
derson. 1--WE must make some conces-
sion to the spirit Of the day, but boys
should not be allowed to scatter frecrack-
ers broadcast"
In the opinion Of Former Mayor William
Henry Eustis, s,the use of fireworks
should be prohibited inside of the city
limits. This would make it possible to
drive a horse on the Fourth, and it would
do away with the great majority of acct
dents and fires
