IDEAL IN HOUsEKEEr1r~.
Many of the old Customs and Con. ditions Are Passing Entire-
 ly Away.

A generation ago to be an ideal house. keeper was the chief ambition of alm ost every woman No girl desired . fairer fate than to be placed at the head of household with a good and loving hus- band to supply all her wants and mako her the mistress and the queen of his heart and his home. In most cases, says the Peoria Herald Transcript. the girl who started housekeeping had more or less experience in the art under the tuition of her mother. She loved to decorate and beautify the house which was to be her homo during the rest of her earthly pil- grimage. She loved to create delicacieo for her husband and her children, and. disguise 1t as we may. much of the af- :ection she received was due entirely to her skill n Q homemaker. When her children grew up around ne, this kind and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions in their world. AS they grew older the ties only grow the stronger. When they acquired families of their ewD the old homestead. with its abundance of good things. still had attractions fer them. Tho kind old mother was still their best friend. She knew all the difnculties they had to en- counter in starting homes of their own. and her advice and sympathy were worth moro to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerats her as sort of venerable goddess, and when she finally went away from the homo circle she left . vacancy which could never be filled.
 But we are assured with every symp- tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing: that women have been emancipated; that ir the future they are to be the rival. instead of the helpmate, of man, and that they must combine to enforce their just demands against the hostility of tho male sex. This is non. sense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women in this generation than there were in the last. It Is unfortunately true that . larger proportion of the female popula- ton has been forced to be self-support ing. but 1t is not true that women enjoy the so-called liberty" which goes with toiling for living.
 The home Instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be re. moved by the effects of generation oi club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods. but the natural, wholesome girl will still lind her highest ideal of happiness iA good husband and cozy homo. The clubs may succeed In making such homes impossible to few men and women by making the young women feel that they have a more important work in the world than the prosaic duty of home making, but among the masses of the American people the mother will con- tinue to be the bond which unites the unities of that holy institution the fam- fly, and she will continue in this exalted role until the end of all things.

k BIC rKEE'S LIFE STORY.
Wonderful Recuperative Power of . California Forest Giant-Record
 in It's Rings.

A letter by William Russel Dudley to Senator O. Fl. Platt, ac- cording to the Detroit Free Press, says:
 A remarkable recuperative power following an injury was found after examination of the eequoias of the Converse basin. khe effects of certain tremendous forest fires occurring centuries ago are registered in the trunks Af these trees and the record completely concealed by subse. quent healthy growth. Among ' number of similar cases the most instructive record of thege ancient forest fires was observed tp a tree of moderate size-about 10 feet in diameter-5 feet from the ground. It was 270 feet in height and 2,171 years old.
 This tree when felled had an enormous surface burn on one sdde 30 feet in height and occu. p,fng IS feet of the circumfer. ence of the tree; this was found to have ben due to a fire occurring n A. D. 1797. The tree when sut, in 1900, had already occupied itself for 103 years in it's efforts to repair this injury, its method being the ingrowing of the new tissue from each margin of the great black wound. When the tree was cut the records of three 'lher fires were revealed. The his. tory of the tree was as follows:
 271 B. C. it began it's existence.
 The frs, year of the Christian era it was about four feet in di- ameter above the base.
 254 A. D., at 516 years of age, occurred a burning on the trunk three feet wide. One hundred and five years were occupied in covering this wound with new tissue. For 1,196 years no fur. tller injuries were registered.
 1441 A. D., at 1,712 years of age the tree was burned a sec. ohd HAe in two long grooves one and two feet wide, respectively. Each had it's own system of re. pair. a{ na8
 One hundred and thirty nine years of growth followed, includ. ing the time occupied by covering the wounds.
 1880 A. D., at 1851 years of age, occurred another fire, caus, ing a burn on the trunk two feet wide, which took 56 years to GOV. CT with new tissue.
 Two hundred and seventeen years of growth followed this burn.
 1797 A. D., when the tree was 2,06S years old, tremendous Ire attacked it, burning the great scar IS feet wide.
 One hundred and three years, between 1797 and 1900, had en aAled the tree to reduce the ex po0od area of the burn to aheut - tsst in width. .s

Marsh Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing of Delos
Marsh, the reRro arrested a few
nights ago on two most serious charg-
es, was held this morning before Jus.
tics Jos p. Sweeney. Two crimes of
the most serious nature were laid at
the door of Marsh, they were rape
and assault with attempt to commit
murder.
No one appeared as attorney for
Marsh. but after reading the com
plant containing the charges against
him Marsh made a statement which
was an attempt to prove au alibi. But
it was a most fiimsy excuse and tho
court saw ft to bind him over to the
next term of the district court in bail
in the sum of 500 each. on the two
charges, total of $500.
Marsh is not an old man nor a
young man. but man older than bis
years. Crime is indelibly stamped
on his face and that he NAV he made
to pay the penalty of his crime is the
ardent wish of those who want to
see man meet just punishment
who has murder in his heart and does
not value or regard human life. when
it stands between his fell purpose and
himself.
