He will probably pick up his paper pretty soon, but by the time the ba- bies are put to bed he will usually have finished 1t, and if the finishing of the paper coincides with your re-entry he will probably lose his impulse to go downtown if he had 1t.
 Let an atmosphere of quiet and lei sure prevail after supper. It will lead to pleasant things ill the way of closer friendship and rosier sentiment. You can wear daintier frock simply to get supper than you can if the work is to be done And the gown counts. my dear girls, at thirty odd and over. It may not take you long to do the dishes, but even that half hour of alien occu- patton is enough to break the spell of the tea table talk, to loosen again just a little the hold you should at once take upon the heart side of "him" when his days work is over. The spell is not abated while you are en- gagged in putting the babies to bed, especially if you sometimes invite him to assist at that function. Anyway 1t means half hour longer with him. That is good deal of time in a year for extra sweethearting. Next morn- ing the dishes will take longer, and they may be sticky, but you are not paying for your pleasure until after you have had it, and the price is not high. Sometimes it will seem to be fruitless for time, sometimes it sim ply cannot be done for awhile. I speak with all this in mind, but try it, try it, do it when you can. This is out of my own heart and experence.-M c. P. in Healthy Home.

HOW TO FIND A GAS LEAK.
philadelphia RecordD

The folly of hunting for a leak in 4
gas pipe with a lighted match is not
so much because of the danger of an
explosion as of other damage, as Il
shown by the experience of 4 Jtlt
Philadelphia householder last week.
One or two small leaks were detected
by going over all the pipes and hold
ing a lighted match to them. The
smell of gas ceased, but was replaced
a few hours later by the smell Of burn
ing wood. Another visit to the cellar
showed a chaTred floor joist a little dis
lance above a gas pipe. There was no
apparent cause for this until a very
close examination discovered that d
tiny jet of gas was issuing IT JEl the
pipe beneath the beam. 1t was lighted,
but was so small as to be blue in c"lCr
and nearly invisible. 1t had been light
ed by the match used in the first in
vestigatiOn, but had not been noticed.
IF that leak had happened to be in a
lead joint instead of an iron conBec-
ton" said a gas man, there would
probably have been work for the fire
department. The smallest possible jet
of lighted gas issuing through lead
will in time heat and melt the lead and
make the leak larger, until big flame
is issuing. This may make a fire hours
later. in the dead of night or At Z time
when no one is in the house. The OnIy
proper way to look for these very small
leaks is to paint the susD ecued pipe
with a smooth soap lather- Just as III
the case of a bicycle tire, the tiniest
leak will blow a bubble in the la-heT,
and there YOU are"

Successful Experiments Made by an
Indian Doctor.

Consul Masterson of Alden repovts
that DR.. Leonard Rogers contributed a
paper TO the Indian Medical Gazette on
the treatment of snake bite by per-
manganate of potassium, which has
been very widely discussed throughout
India, and which is likely to receive
general attention from medical men.
Consul MastersOn writes:
DR., Rogers, in this paper, reports
Of twelve cases of snake bite in which
this new remedy was put into practice.
In two cases it failed, but these were
the cases in which the longest interval
had elapsed before the remedy was ap-
Piled The persons were bitten during
the night and were not treated till the
following day, the interval in one case
amounting to eleven hours and in the
other TO nine hours. In seven of the
successful cases the snake was killed
and identified; in five cases it was a
cobra. and in the other two it was a
viper. In the remaining three success
full cases the identity of the snake was
not aScertained in two cases and I'm the
other cases the reptile was seen and
described as a cobra
''Of the two fatal cases, one was bit
ten by a cobra, the other by a snake
that was not identified. Two Of the
successful cases were treated by Eu-
ropeans without any medical training.
In three of the successful cases treat
ment was begun at once, III the remain
ing seven the interval varied from half
an hour to four hours. These results
show that even when all the doubtful
elements have been excluded or allowed
for, this method promises TO be most
efficaciOus, and a very satisfactory fea-
ture is that it is so simple anybody can
apply ii, and so cheap that it is within
the reach Of the poorest.
when a person has been bitten by
a snake the first thing to do is to apply
a lgatUre above the wound 10 prevent
the rapid absorption of the venom
Then an incisiOn is to be made over the
snake bite with any sharp cutting in
strument that is perfectly clean, and
few grains of the peFmanganate are
to be well rubbed on. Permanganate
Of potassium is a cheap drug, obtain
able from any druggist, It keeps IN
definitely, and q pound would suffice,
at the rate of 10 grains for each case,
for between 200 and 500 people. There
seems to be no reason why every
household should not be furnished with
this remedy, or why the great major
ity of 5000 odd deaths that take place
in India each year from snake bite
should not be prevented"

MR.. HApLEY,s BREAK.

Attorney General Hadley of Missouri
will not advance in the opinion OF the
public through his generosity TO John
D. Rockefeller. Mr. Hadley has been
going around the country blowing a
horn and loudly proclaiming that he
was going TO compel Mr.. Rockefeller to
testify in the Missouri Standard Oil
investigation. We had been led to
believe that Hadley regarded himself
as a sort of David, armed with the
sling Of righteousness and the stone of
truth, and we were under the impress
sion that he would land that stone
squarely in the center of Goliath Rock
efeller's forehead.
Now comes Mr.. Hadley with the an
nOuncement that If Mr.. Rockefeller
wants to come out of hiding long
enough to visit his new grandson a
truce will be declared for that purpose.
Hadley will even let the truce last long
enough for Rockefeller to wait until
he can take the baby back into hiding
with him. What right has Hadley, a
sworn officer of the state of Missouri,
to enter into a bargain of this sort
with John D. Rockefeller, the man he
has been hunting with d brass band
Nor many weeks Does the new grand
son make RockefeIler's testimony any
less necessary
The proceeding is altogether idtottc.
Mr.. Rockefeller is entitled to no more
consideration at the hands of the Re
publican attorney general of Missouri
than any other subpOena-evading,
process-dOdging fear-stricken reluct-
ant witness. If he was wanted before
the baby was born he is wanted now,
and if he is not anxious enough to see
his grandson to take chances on being
served with a subpoena he does not
deserve to see him. There is neither
by Hadley.
The great common people Of the
United States viii be pardoned If they
wonder what action Hadley would
have taken under similar circum-
stances if he had wanted one of their
number as badly as he processes to
want Rockefeller. Suppose RockefeI-
Ter were a ten-dOllar-a-week clerk who
had stolen 800 from his employer
Would the officers kindly permit him
TO visit a grandson unmolested. or
would they watch the house carefully
to see If he did come and then arrest
him the moment he appeared?
Attorney General HadIey can never
again enjoy the respect and confidence
he won from the public during the
early stages of his investigation.

In his last letter, which comes now
ike voice from the grave, John A
Mccall says the only condition under
be secured was that no accounting of
moneys advanced to him should be
asked Of him, or rendered by him."
This does not accord very well with
some Of Hamilton's statements, but
Mr.. Mccall undoubtedly told the truth
in his final statement, for he realized
that he was very close to death. As a
matter of fact, he died the day after
the letter was written.

SHOULD NOT CUT LICENSE.

At the next meeting of the city
council the committee on license VIII
recommend that the license for whole
sale liquor dealers be reduced from
81 600 a year, as at present, TO $500 a
year, cut of so per cent. The result
of favorable action will necessarily be
a reduction of the revenues Of the city.
those who contemplate the opening of
establishments for the sale of intox-
icants in wholesale lots. While the
loss in revenue may not be consider
able, as most of the wholesalers take
out a retail license and operate both
Wholesale and retail businesses under
it, the principle is an extremely per-
niciOUs one.
Salt Lake City is already overabund-
antly supplied with places in which
liquor may he purchased in large or
small lots. A reduction i'm the whole
sale license might be regarded as es-
tablishing a precedent for reducing the
retail or saloon license. The Herald
is quite sure that the latter PROPOSE
tion would not be tolerated by the pub
lie for an instant. though all things are
possible in this reform council So
viewed from any standpoint, it would
be most inadvisable for the council to
assent TO the recommendation of the
committee on licenses.
As the people of Salt Lake view the
pective, they cannot help wondering
what is going to be the end of it all,
and of them. At what figure will the
next tax levy be placed. at what figure
must it be placed to meet the growing
expenses and the decreasing revenue?
Salaries have been raised without re-
gard TO merit. without the slightest
pretense at any necessity therefor.
Men in voorhees, positions have been
given assistants in order to keep them
company in their wOrklessness; a IA
vored contractor has been awarded
$4,000 of the public funds because his
friends thought he ought to have the
money.
Already there Is a proposition before
the council to sell some real estate. The
proceeds of the sale viii be disbUrsed
the moment they are received. and the
taxpayers viii get no benefit from
them. When viii the end be reached,
and what will be the end? Less than
three months the 'reformers' have
been in office. and indications of mu-
uicipal bankruptcy are by no means
lacking Defenders of the Thompson
Black regime cOnfine their defense to
attacks on the last Democratic admin
istration. Why do they not explain
the acts of their own people? Is it be-
cause no explanation is possible?
