GONE RULERS
Want TOO MUCH

The question of the division of the big
precincts is occupying the attention of
the various political parties. The
Democrats and Home Rulers have de-
cided on their method of division of
the first precinct, Fourth District, which
Is not in accordance with plans being
formulated by the Republicans. The
Democrat Home Rule plan is said to
divide the precinct so as to give these
two parties entire control of one of the
proposed new precincts.
The same is reported of the fourth
precinct, Fourth District, where the
Democrats and Home Rulers have
drawn a line which will serve their
purposes best
A proposed division of the eighth
pre>inct. Fourth District, by the Demo-
Gratis and Home Rulers, would give one
precinct an overwhelming Republican
majority and in the other a full ma
jority for the Home Rulers.

Here is a little test for your eyes
that will soon show you which of them
Is the stronger. Place an object about
two inches In diameter on Level with
your eyes and move back from it about
ten feet Then point TO 1t and take
sight along the top Of your pointing
finger until the object and the tip OF
your finger are exactly In a line with
the eye from which you are sighting.
Next open the other eye and see II the
object seems to have moved from the
straight line. If it has not moved TO
one side apparently, the eye with winch
you first looked Is the stronger, as the
addition of the others vision does not
change the focus. If the object seems
to have moved. it proves that the other
eye is the stronger, the difference be
ing measured by the distance that the
object appears TO have moved.
Try sighting with both eyes open
first. Then look with first one eye and
then the other and see low far out OF
line each makes the object appear. The
one that is farthest out of line Is the
weaker eye.-Chlcaeo Journal

Miss Steiner's career in the north
has been full Of adventure. She was
the first woman to 90 into the Seward
peninsula and Is the discoverer of tin
deposits there which are at present the
only deposits of commercial value on

She endured great hardshipS on a trip
of 1870 miles from Nome, partly by ca
noe along the shallow coast and partly
by pack train into a barren wilderness,
to which even fuel had to be carried In
from the coast on mems backs. Her
discovery Is considered one Of the

Wall Decorations.

There are people who assert that 1t is
inartistic to hang plates, cups, saucers,
etc. on walls, since no one can get up
there on stills or otherwise to eat off or
drink out Of them. But heartily wish
that these persons would, on the con
trary. advocate the hanging up on
walls of all pieces of rare or costly
china. They would then be safely out
Of the way. Some acquaintance Of
ours have beautiful little cups and sau-
GERS, exquisite vases and costly antique
glass set out on small tables all over
their drawing rooms. In these days of
shaded lamps It Is task enough to grope
for ones hostess without having added
all the dangers of explorations In a
risky country. Why not place all these
beautiful things on chimney pieces,
brackets, ornamental shelves, in cabi-
nets, over doors and on etageres2-
