FLOOD HAVOC IN GRMANY.
Fifty Persons Reported Drowned and
Crops Greatly Damaged.

Berlin, July 19.--From six to
eight inches of rain have fallen over
the greater part of Germany during
the last three days, and as a result a
number of rivers have overfiowed
their banks, carrying death and de-
struction in the surrounding country.
No less than dozen minor railroad
accidents from washouts have been
reported, and dispatches coming in
from the country traversed by the
swollen streams relate the destruc-
tion of crops, dwellings and out
buildings. The floods are especially
severe In Western Germany. Casu-
alties to the number of fifty have
been reported, principally single per-
sons caught by the waters, and chiefly
from the villages of Poland and SiIe-
sia. The capsizing of a boat on the
Nugget sea, near Berlin, resulted in
two deaths. The hay and rye crops
in the province of Brandenburg are
entirely ruined by the rain, the farm
ers having had only one day for har-
vesting.

JERKING THE HORSE.

(From outing Magazine. }

OnCc put to and out of doors the

of using the voice or whip, and 1t ap-

What whlskey Is Good FOR .

An exchange says that alcohol
will remove grass stains from sum-
mer clothes. The exchange is right.
1t will also remove summer clothes
and also spring and winter clothes,
not only from the man who drinks
it, but also from his wife and chill
dren. 1t will remove household fur
niture from the house and eatables
from the pantry, the smiles from the
face of his wife, and the happiness
from his home. As remover of
things alcohol has few equals.

Spartanburg, July 17.-Chas. How
card and Tom Nolan, the cracksmen
convicted here several months ago of
robbing the safe of the Enoree Manu-
featuring Company in November of
& 1902, and sentenced to terms Of ten
years each, were taken to Columbia
tonight by Acting Deputy Irby to
begin their terms in the State peni-
tentary. N
The fact that the men were to be
taken to the State penitentiary at
this time was not given out, and 1t
was not known that the authorities
had decided upon such course till
the prisoners and guards appeared at
the station a few minutes before the
train departed. They have been held
in jail here pending their attorneys
motion for new trial. This has not
materialized, however. though Mr.
Sims declared to-day he would take
the crackstaen's case to the Supreme
Court. He said he did not know that
Nolan and Howard were to be taken
to Columbia at this time.
Other prisoners in charge of the
officers leaving here tonight were:
Jack Scruggs, sentenced for life for
!. the murder Of =. l.. Carver, and Geo.

THE BEST WIVES.
The Business. Girl More Competent to
Adapt Herself to circumstances.

The question has becn raised SO
often, and especially by the lords of
creation" that think it Is time the
matter received attention. says a
writer in the New York American.
Why, we may asa, should not girl
who has sharpened her wits and be-
come alert in business matters be bet
ter able to manage her house and
husbands income than the average
girl, who just lives to play, dress and
read, which Is the usual routine of
the 'stay-at-home" daughters of the
house, and whose very limited means
require little or no management?
ss know the cooking question will
be put forward. but there again the
business girl looks after the dinner,
while Maud can practice or do her
painting, while the girl who has been
busy with brain and hands all day
scores; for how often we hear, "Ma
Will welcome some cooking expert
ments as healthy recreation"
l have In my mind case in ques-
tion showing the quickness of the
business girl to adapt herself to cir
cumstances. A girl of nineteen, a
clever "typist," suddenly lost her
mother, and without any preparation
undertook the entire management of
her fathers home and small family,
and has proved herself TO be most
competent householder.
1t is high time that men should
understand that the smart shop girl
is not to be cut by the girl who stays
at home. in many cases because she
lacks the qualifications essential for
business girl.
The business girl has her wits
sharpened by her training and con-
tact with the outer world, and, as in
all other careers and relations os life
the capable girl will always score and
readily adapt herself to the new con-
ditions of her life and surroundings.
