JUSTICE BREWER ON SUFFRAGE.
Expresses His Firm Belief In The
Desirability of Woman
Suffrage.

Supreme Court Justice Brewer, in
a recent interview expressed his hrm
belief in the desirability of woman
suffrage. He said in part
"When / was a young man | thought
that female suffrage was q theory.
Today, by the knowledge that years
of experience have brought me, / am
firmly convinced that what / regarded
as theories in my youth are practical
today. The only way to prove the
DRY is to test it, We are now engaged
in testing the theory of female suffrage.
In four states it has been tried and
not found wanting.
ITO be sure, there has never been
any severe trial of the question up 10
the present time. There have been
women mayors of small cities. of FIVE
and ten thousand inhabitants. And
under the rule of these women mayors
public affairs have been conducted in
most satisfactory MINER. Just what
woman would do as mayor of city
like Chicago is thing vet 70 be test
ed l think that the chances for her
administrative success would be great
er than though she were man There
is no question but what women have
at least as high aud probably a higher
sense of honor than men. There is
also no question but what their exec
utive ability is quite as good as that
of the other sex.
Gust how far their capacity for
business goes has never yet been
discovered. | can see no good reason
why there should not be woman
President of the country. l can see a
great many good reasons why there
should be one. However, / question
if it comes in the near future. Women
have shown their capacity for hand
ling big affairs in colleges. schools,
railroads and banks. To be sure. there
has always been prejudice against
women stenographers in large con-
Germs. The idea of the sex question
has handicapped the development of
the twentieth century girl.

Mad Dog Bites Boy

A dog belonging to Noble Carroll,
of Eastport yesterday showed signs
of rabies and ran amuck in the viii
lage. The dog barked and snapped at
men, women aud children around
Eastport. who happened to come his
way, but all eluded him until Clar-
ence Jones, the son of John Jones, of
the village, was badly bitten on the
hand by the animal. There seems to be
no doubt that the dog was mad and it
is thought he had been inoculated by
some of the many mad dogs that have
beven running around loose in the Sec
ond district eThe parents of Jones
boy Immediately sent for DR.. Wells,
who cauterized the wound. This
morning the boy seemed to be doing
all right. The dog was subsequently
killed.

Incident of Our Flag.

An interesting little incident occur
red few years ago in China. AT a
Fourth of July dinner in Shanghai the
English consul, in toasting the flag of
his country, said "Here's to the
Union Jack--the flag of flags the flag
that has fioated on every continent
and on everyssea for 1000 years-the
flag on which the sun never SETS
Ii was such a strong sentiment that
the Americans were a little embarras-
sed until Eli Perkins was called TO
toast the stars and stripes. He said :
"When the setting sun lights up her
stars in Alaska, the rising sun salutes
her ON the rock-bound coast of Maine.
1t is the flag of liberty, never lowered
to any foe, and the only flag that
whipped the flag on which the sun
never sets.n

THE UNDER MARRIAGE.
Wedding Customs and Frolics That
Prevail In Holland.

Prevail In Holland.
In Holland two weeks before mar
riage takes place cards are sent out de-
claring that the banns have been pub
lished. This is called an under mar
riage." The card also announces when
the final marriage is to take place. The
wedding itself is Il small affair, and
the civil marriage is the only one rec
ognized by law. A church wedding Is
usually looked upon as Il concession to
either fashion or sentimentality and Is
called Il 'consecration of the marriage"
The couple enter the church behind the
family members, bridesmaids and 9TH
er attendants. They are shown to seats
before the whole assembly, and the
clergyman comes in with two witness
es long after the others have been seat
ed. He first makes Il prayer, then de-
llvers sermon on suitable text,
which usually brings the bride to tears.
After that the couple are married. Then
a hymn Is sung and the blessing given.
The whole occupies about an hour and
a quarter. Before leaving the church
n huge Bible is presented to the BRIDE
groom. During the two weeks of walt
ing between the under marriage" and
the real marriage all the wedding fes-
tivlties take place. The happy couple
are literally surfeited with dinners,
balls and theater parties, and all man
ner of practical jokes are played on the
pair. AT the dinner toasts innumerable
are given, and ut each the whole com
pany rises from the table to sound and
touch glasses with the bride and groom,
who never rise. Among their friends
the idea is not to allow the couple
night of sleep, If possible, before the
wedding day.

UNIQUE AzTALAN.
The Only Brick Walled Town Sit,
Found In This Country.

The Only Brick Walled Town Site
Found In This Country.
In many respects Aztalan, in Wiscon-
s'a, Is among the most remarkable pre-
historic monuments in the northwest.
IL Is tile only brick walled town site
found in this country. 1t is on the bot
TOM land of the Crayfsh river, about
Two miles from Lake Mills The inclos-
ing walls of the town site are about
i03 feet on its tianks and about 1,5OO
ieat long. The river served to COM
plc'e the inclosurc of seventeen acres
oi lina.
Within and without the inclosure
iii>fe are round, truncated and oblong
mounds. Dust beyond the inclosinr
walls the land rises abruptly over
twenty fcet 10 the rolling table lands
OF tie surrounding country From the
bank above Il stone could he tossed ill.,
20 the town site within the inclosure,
which would seem to be IL good reason
why this inclosurc, which has been
>'alleu Il fort, could not have been in
tended for Il defense against any hui
man enemy.
Along the brow of the higher land
Is Il row of more than thirteen round
pyramidal mounds ranging from three
to twelve feet in height. From the top
OF these mounds or standing on the
tahie land AN enemy could command
the whole town site. 1t has always
been conceded that Aztalan was not
inclosed for purposes of defense. 1t
has been supposed that it was walled
for protection from wild animals,
though the inclosure has never been
high or abrupt enough since its dis
covery to keep out the panther, wild
cat %olf, bear. moose and buffalo, which
were the only dangerous animals Of
the woods hcreabout.
The purpose of its inhabitants in
constructing this inclosure over a half
mile long still remains mystery The
most remarkable art of Aztalan is its
brick walls and walks. In this it is
singular and alone, the only example
of hricklaying among all the monu-
ments of the mound builders. These
bricks or bricllets are not rectangu-
lar and regular in form and size, as are
the modern brick. They are simply
balls of plastic clay welded by the
hand into small bricklets of irregular
form about the average size of n snow
ball. The material used was the
glacial yellowish red clay of the vi
cinity. and the color of the bricks is
red or light yellow. Under the glass
scrapings appear like handful of
crystal sand.-Minneapolis Journal.

Poultry Notes.

Never feed spoiled or tainted food
to fowls il you wish toavoid disease.
Clean up all moist and mash food re
naming after the fowls have finished
eating. In warm weather it is not
safe to cut much green bone at a
time; it soon spoils and is unfit f, +
the chickens.
If the chickens are constipated
give them more green food; if diarr-
hoea affects the flock after gener-
GUS feed Of meat, cut down the am
cunt. Pullets fed too much animal
food will begin to lay before they
have their growth. The slow feather
ing chicks that run around half
naked after the rest of the brood are
well feathered need more animal
food.
Chickens do not require the run
OF the entire farm to do well but they
must have green and animal food
to thrive. On the range in summer
they get this. They will do quite
as we'll butat the cost of more time
and trouble to the owner, if he yards
them and provides what they need.
As rule there will be about the
same per cent Of chicks fail to
hatch as were weakly fertilized.
Notice your flock, and see if this is
the case. 1t is said that sixty per
cent OF the chicks hatchcd die young,
and that twenty-five per cent of the
fertile eggs fail to hatch. -Wallace's
Farmer.

with scant courtesy, no matter what

picture of the Konigsberg coronation
the Empress Augusta came to the con-

been sufficiently considered, SO she sent
Field Marshal Wrangel to tell him so.
The artist took the criticism very i'll
and bluntiy told the marshal that he

Furnishing Mail Order Buyers.

The Waverly Democrat reports
that "one Of the practical undertak-
ings of the new organization of.
Waverly merchants, besides that of
putting a ban upon dead beats, will
be to try to get back the business that
has been diverted from them by the
Chicago mail order houses. The de-
pots will be watched and list made
of those who are in the practice of
sending away their money for goods
that can be obtained at home, and
then each individual case will be
dealt with as the circumstances war
rant. The number of residents of
this city who are wholly Independent
of the business element are few in
deed. Only those who have no occu-
patton whatever can live unto them
selves entirely. All Others are in
terpendent, the prosperity of one de-
pending upon the prosperity of
others, and the business prosperity
Of the town being under all. When
a man is found trying to undermine
this prosperity Of taking the money
he earns on occount of it and send
ing it away to catalogue houses, the
spirit of the old Greek rule of an eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,'
will be applied. If he be profess
ional man his practice will suffer, if
a working man his jobs will grow
few-at least to the extent that the
business men have to say in the
matter. The suggestion as to this
plan comes from a Nebraska town
that was once fairly stagnated on ac-
count Of the mail order fad,
where it was inaugurated a year
ago. 1t had not been in operation
two months before the people were
avoiding the mail order houses as
they would avoid a pest house. Now
the town is enjoying an era fgenui-

every step of the cremation rites. Sit
ting on stone ramparts above, to the
right and left, are friends and relatives
of the dead ones. The figure to the
right, huddled up in bright green
wrap, is Of the lowest caste of Hindoo
and keeps the mat shed near by, where
the sacred fire for igniting every corpse
is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries
Of Ram! Ramana!" and, behold,
burial procession is coming down the
slope. -Four men carry the corpse
slung between two bamboo poles and
cry to the god Ram. He is the persona
fication of filial love, and thus 1t is
meet that they should call him to wit
ness. They swing down to the river
and immerse the corpse. 1t is wrap
ped in Il white shroud stained with red
blotches. Then they lift the head
slightly out of the water and remove
the shroud from the face, splashing
water five times upon the mouth.
Others in the meantime are building a
wooden pyre, made of fagots sold
near by and when finished standing
three feet or more above ground. The
corpse, its dark color showing through
the dripping shroud, is then placed on
the wooden altar and covered with
fagots. This done, all but two mount
the ramparts and watch the final cere-
mony. OF the two remaining, one
pours oil upon the wood from small
clay dish, while the other goes to the
fire house above. He soon returns with
a long straw wisp, blazing at one end.
He advances to the corpse's head,
touches it with the wisp and then cir
cles the pyre five times, touching the
head each time until the fifth; when
he places the blazing wisp beneath the
feet, and the whole pile bursts into
flame. When all is consumed the ashes
are raked into the river and float away
