Ourselves as Others Sec Us.

The American man is more consist ently considerate of and generous to women than any fellow on earth, and in no country does he get sharper snubbing for his pains, says an En- glishman in the London Chronicle. The handling of husbands by wives in America amounts to an art, prOfes- sion, almost science.
 Based on the theory that the more one has to do the more one can accom- plish, ladies who have hard-working enterprlsing spouses simply retire from active life. If he manages his office and business satisfactorily, why not take over the house and servants! !! What is known as "a good husband" in the States is first-class, nOn-tiring money-making machine, who gives ev- erything asks nothing and brags ceaselessly of his wife's perfections. Should he presume to criticise a charred chop or a flat souffle or com plain at the size of the draper's bill, he is set down as brute, and the wife is pitied as frst-class martyr!
 For such sins as the above two men of my acquaintance were forced to live in hotels a year at time. They had committed the crime of finding fault with the impeccable sex, and were reduced to subjection by having their homes taken from them. For my part l think the Briton's way is best.

Fraud in Food Products.

Of 6,OOO samples of food products of sixty one different kinds exam. ined during the last year at the Con- Eecticut agricultural experiment sta ton, more than one-third were found to be adulterated, according to the ninth report, just issued. Certain sta pie articles, such as flour, sugar, cheese, condensed milk and tea, says the report, have not been found adul- terated in this State. Most forms of food adulteration are innocuous, ap- parently, as far as health is concerned, hut are frauds and consist for the most part of cheap and worthless make weights added to increase prof its or meet competition in price.

In a small South American state, which had recently undergone a change of administration, the new potentate summoned an artist and or dered new designs for all the official uniforms.

NEITHER SIDE SCORES
In Augusta HalioweIl Football Game.
Saturday Afternoon.

Augusta and Halloween football teams
contested for supremacy at the Driving
park grounds, Saturday afternoon, and
the game resulted in a tie, neither side
being able to score. About $50 cnthus-
lasts were present at the game and wit
messed its varied features, and for what is
commonly known as scrub game the
contest was ar extremely clean one, there
being little offsidc play or questionable
work tina. many times accompanies this
sport, and the handling of the ball was
clean, the ball being lost but twice during
the entire contest by fumblinE, once by
Augusta and at another time by Halo
well.
Aside from numerous minor bruises
torn sweaters, etc, the only injury of any
consequence during the play was that
sustained by Parqucttc captain of the
Augusta team, who put Il little finger out
of joint with two minutes to play in the
first half No physician was present on
the grounds and Parquette retired from
the field, his position on the line being
taken by HILL
The most noticeable work developed
was the tackling Of Thoms. the 35-yard
run made by Smith of Augusta, and the
all-rCund work of Clary of Hallowcll. All
of these m.n were in the thick of the
fray at all times.
BY the courtesy of the visitors, the
home team selected the officials for the
game, and while their work at times was
questioned, it was pretty near correct,
although the Hallowell enthusiasts at
times were inclined to help out the play
ers by their protestations.
The game began with the ball in Halo
wells possession for the kickoff. Par
quettc made a pretty catch and succeed
ed in making the center of the field be
fore being downed. Augusta was held for
downs and the ball went to Hallowell,
but the former soon secured the ball on
a tumble. End runs by Smith made sub
stantjal gains. and Smith punted. His
punts throughout the game We're well
placed, and had the boys only come to
the rescue they might have secured at
least one touchdown, but it seemed that
with the ball in play near the IIallowell
goal they became possessed of eXtraordi-
nary strength and succeeded in pushing
the ball away from the goal.
The ball was during the entire game,
with the exception of one short moment
in the second half. in HalloWell territory,
and in the contest there was everything
that goes to make up football game,
from the center rush to end runs and
punts, all of the players showing Il good
knowledge of the game and both the adj
herents of the contcsting teams of Satur
day are anxious to see another contest in
the near future.
