a Wife,s Allowance.

Is 1t desirable that wives should
enjoy a fixed monetary allowance for
their own disposal for dress and such
personal expenses as are continually
arising? The question is put forward
in the pages of a leading authority on
matters of feminine interest, and is
answered from various points of view.
Thus, a business woman urges that a
man shout not give him wife unlimit-
ed credit at shops and then be indig-
nant il her expenditure is large. On
the other hand, says this lady, an
allowance spurs on woman to live
within her means, and teaches her
the value of money. A lawyer lays
down the maxim that a man owes it
to the girl he marries to keep her
free from financial worries. There
are those husbands who admit that
they are only glad to hand over the
larger part, if not the whole, indeed,
of their income to careful and man
aging wives leaving them to arrange
the scale Of household outlay, and
taking what they regard as necessary
for their own and the children's
dress.-Londou Telegraph.

MONKEYS Earn a Lixino

Monkeys are more than pets in
some parts of the world Az Malabar,
India, they are taught to work and
have actually made thmselves almost
indispensable in the homes of the
wealthy. The Malabar monkey is of
the fine species known as the langur.
1t is very warm in Malabar, and there
is a fan called the punka, which used
to be kept in motion by slave. 1t
requiredfa slave to work each punka,
but now every punka in Malabar is
worked a monkey. 1t was an Eng
lish officer who conceived the idea
of making the langur work in that
manner. The fan is movable frame
covered with canvas and suspended
from the ceiling. The motion is
caused by pulling cord. The officer
tied the hands of the langur to one
of the cords and then by means of
another cord put the machine in mo-
ton. OF course the monkeys hands
went up and down, and the animal
wondered what kind of a game was
being played. Then the officer patted
its head and fed it with candy till
soon the langur thought it fine fun to
work the punka. The experiment was
successful, and now thousands of
monkeys are in harness.

hesitation. and the master had the

Studying Cancer.

Jensen has successfully inoculated
white mice with cancer. This will
materially aid the pathologist to
study the methods of the growth and
communication of cancer. He carried
the cancer through 10 generations by
reimplantation of the cancer cells.
He remarks that these cells, isolated,
retained their vitality for 10 days at
room temperature, while at the tenn
perature of the body they persisted in
"a hours. If ground in mortar, the
experiments resulted negatively.
Bright light was rapidly destructive
to the cells, and also one-fourth of

WHY STARS TWINKLE.
The Effect Produced Upon Them by
Air Waves,

~ ssoNSos
The great aerial ocean over our
heads is made up of an infinite multi
tude of moving currents and stream
of varying density and temperature,
all in process of continued change and
adjustment due to the heating of the
atmosphere by the sun during the
day and cooling by radiation at night,
says the Baltimore Sun. The atmos-
phera is full of little waves or stream
ing masses of air, somewhat resemb-
ling the rippIes in a shallow stream
of water flowing over gravel. And if
the astronomer will point his tele
scope on bright star and remove
the eyepiece, SO as to look directly
upon the object glass Illuminated by
the light of the star he may see these
streaming currents dancing in all
their completely. It is these little
waves in the air which cause the
twinkling of the fixed stars. AS the
waves are passing before our eyes
they act like prisms. DETECTING the
light first this way and then that, pro-
duclng flashes of the spectral colors,
and sometimes almost extinguishing
the stars, so that momentarily they
appear to go out. In high, dry coun-
tries where the atmosphere is quies-
cent, these waves are generally dimin-
ished in Importance and astronomers
have noticed that in such localities
the scintillation of the stars almost
ceases. There the air is quite free
from agitating currents, and the as
tronomers can make good observa-
tions.
1t is worthy of remark that but for
the brightness Of the sky the stars
could be seen in daylight. Even as
matters stand. some of the brighter
of them ihave been seen after sunrise
by explorers in high mountains, where
the air is very clear and the sky dark
blue. If we could go above the at
mosphere the sky would appear per-
fectly< black and stars would, be visible
right close up to the sun. SAstrono-
mers observe bright stars in daytime
by using long-focus telescopes, the
dark tubes of which cut off the side
light; and persons in the bottoms of
deep wells have noticed stars passing,
overhead, the side light being reduced
by the great depths of the wells.

FAMOUS CHURCH eullpER.


Bishop McSnbc the Most Striking Fig
ure In American Mcthodism.
The most striking figure in Ameri-
can Methodism is DIR. Charles C. Nc
Cabe, the new resident bishop of Phila-
delphia, assigned by the General Con-
ference. AS church builder, lecturer
and litter of church debts he IS known
not only In every State of the Union
but in almost every country as we'll.
More than 1900 Methodist congregn-
lions owe their houses of worship d.
rectly to his personal efforts, while
thousands of missions. situated in eN-
cry corner of the globe are maintained
from the income of $1.0C0GO0 estab-
lished under his Immediate supervis.
ion.
Bishop McCabe is now GS years old
and has been member of the church
since his eighth year. After being
graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan
University, In 1860, he was received
into the Ohio Conference When war
broke out he entered the service us
chaplain in the Ore Hundred and
Twenty second Ohio Infantry. The
surviving members OF that regiment
remember, with gratiiled hearts, his
tender sympathy and kindly aid 10 the
wounded. He, did not remain in'the
hospital tents to care for the injured
Us they came in. Instead, In each bat.
tie he hurried to the field and minis

Bishop \AlcCabe's great solicitude for
the wounded that resulted in his cap

remained on the field when the Union
troops fell back before the arrival OF
Sheridan and was sent TO Libby
prison.

The soil that made Newcastle IA
nous as the American Beauty rose
city is being brought to indianapolis
to enrich the beautiful and vigorous
indianapolis rose, which, like this
city's carnations, already has name
in American flower circles, writes the
Indianapolis correspondent Of the
New York Tribune. WI. Hasselman,
owner of the indianapolis Flower and
Plant Company, a wholesaling con-
Germ, that has large greenhouses just
north of Central avenue and Thirty
fourth street, shipped two car loads
of the wonderful Newcastle rose pro-
ducing earth to Indianapolis last year
and used it with remarkable success
In his greenhouse benches. He is
just now unloading four more car
loads. The soil that is now being
shipped to indianapolis is taken out
of one of Newcastle's streets that is
being improved. 1t is dark colored
clay-the kind that farmers call
white oak clay"-and its peculiar
characteristic is its adhesiveness
when in damp state. 1t can be
worked until it looks and feels like
putty, but when dried out 1t lies a
compact mass that holds well any fer
tilizer that may be used on it.
The Newcastle people think that
this is the greatest rose producing soil
in the world" said Hasselman today
as he handled some of the clay that
was being unloaded in the green
houses, but am not prepared to
say whether that is true or not. At
all events 1t has given the best re-
suits in rose growing of any soil found
in Indiana and has also given New
castle national reputation as pro-
Queer of roses that cannot be sur
passed. Newcastle roses have taken
sweepstakes and other prizes in ma
tional shows. We are shipping it to
Indianapolis because it is the best
soil that we have available, and mas
much as we can get it from the streets
that are being improved in Newcastle
1t is about as cheap earth as we could
get even if we sent teams out into
the country here and found a passably
good clay. We have found place
north of Broad Ripple that seems to
have good rose growing soil, but we
have not made sufficient experiments
yet to be certain that it will produce
the results that Newcastle soil will
produce.
Newcastle has built up wonder
full rose growing industry. Chicago
is still the rose centre of the West,
as Madison, N. j., is in the East, but
Newcastle is looming up in the list
of our national rose centres.
"The Newcastle florists are cutting
and shipping between 100000 and
100000 roses a year now, and they
go everywhere. What is it in the soil
that makes the roses grow and
bloom SO wonderfully? l don't know,
but it Is there. we have very good
rose soil around Indianapolis, and 1t
