Wisconsin
Legislature.
DeInge of New BINS.

With an almost superhuman effort the
members OF the Legislature introduced all
bills they could think of before adjourn
ment Saturday, raising the number of
measures submitted for consideration far
above that ever introduced at any previ-
Gus session of Wisconsin Legislature.
There is no way of getting at the exact
total because many of them are still in
the process of incubation in Dr. McCar-
thy's bill factory" but it is certain that
there will be over 1,500 in both houses.
The total number at the close of new
business two years ago was 1,l6l. which
broke the record up to then. There are
1918 bills in the hands of the two chief
clerks. and about 200 in the hands of the
TWO revision committees and large num-
Der in the hands of DIR. Mccarthy. Only
little over twice as many bills were
introduced in the Assembly as in the SEN
ate, although there are three times as
many members.

of Friendship Among women.

Can women be friendsg' asks
George Harvey. in Harper's Bazaar.
Sacrifices for the sake of love of man
and offspring are recorded without
number, but female Davids and Da-
mons are not readily discovered in
either history or legend Professors
of platonic affection continue to evoke
Jeers of incredullty. and the traditional
disingenuousness of dearest friends
still plays we'll its part in caricature.
The changeableness of woman's nature
has become automatic. Can it be that.
throughout the ages. even to these en-
lightened days, it has retained consist
ency in this respect alone? 1t suffices
for us TO raise the question: to Others
of more certain mind we relinquish
the hazardous privilege of adducIng
evidence and passing judgment"

no Encourage sleep.

Many people suffer constantly from
a sense of overfatlgue which entirely
prevents sleep at night A hot bath
taken before retiring is capital anti
dote in some eases, but in others the
bath acts as q stimulant rather than
a narcotic, and prevents rather than
encourag es sleep. One of the best
means of obtaining rest is a cup of
w,-rm milk, to which has been added
a pinch of salt and dash of pepper.
while many people ignore the fact that
sleeplessness is caused by shut win
downs and a lack Of fresh air.
