influence of the Politicians wife.

Influence Of the Politicians Wife.
II has often been asked how much
influence the wife of a public man
bears on his political career. This is
hard to estimate; but this much is
certain: The man who comes to Wash
ington, either as member Of Con
gress or OF some other branch OF the
government where his position Is one
Of prominence, Is very unfortunate II
his wife 10 not one whom he can trust
to making her way socially. Not nee
essarily being a great social success.
but capable of mingling with the aver
age woman at the national capital.
For, in spite of the fact that small
percentage of society looks leniently
upon the married couple who are sell
dom seen IN public together, the aver
age sound American believes In the
comradeship Of man and wife. But
when we sum up this question OF the
influence Of women in statecraft we
pass the judgment that, on the whole,
the influence Of woman In statecraft
is for good. says a writer in Home
Magazine. Being impulsive, she Is apt
TO make mistakes now and then which
cause the more logical males to laugh
at her, but as a rule she is pretty sure
Of her footing before she attempts to
make the jump across the political
stream that divides womankind from
mankind.

Potatoes as Cattle Feed.-In the
opinion of German writer. about 70
pounds Of raw potatoes can be fed ad-
vantageously to cattle, and if fed with
supplementary food there need be no
fear of physiological disturbances.
They should be mixed with hay or cut
straw to insure proper mastication.
Feed only ripe, healthy tubers and it
is best not to water Immediately after
feeding

the large stocks left after cutting back
the branches, a choice variety, or sew

The renewal of the trees produces
a vigorous growth OF new wood from
the upper extremities of the large
stubs left after cutting away the
branches. Neglect to follow renewal
with a judlcious thinning out of super
huous shoots, and the cutting back of
those remaining, would mean failure
to attain the true purpose of this
heavy pruning. This thinning and
clipping back of the new shoots tends
to keep the tree in low, compact form,

of Correction Investigation.
Milwaukee, Jan. 14.-Secretary

rectors of the Merchants and Manu-

his inspection Of the house Of correc-
ton with a view of ascertaining its
needs. the feasibility of remodeling the
present buildings, Or the necessity OF
a new prison within the county limits
large enough to provide against the
future for some years to come. The
cost OF such a plant he estimated
would be in the neighbOrhood OF
S475,0OO. A credit of about $4,000
could be secured by selling the site of
the present house of correction for
building lots.
Mr.. Bruce said he had found the
present house of correction unsafe and
unsanitary as prison plant, as re-
suit as much of the rapid growth of
the city as of a false economy. The
sewerage system, he aid, was posi-
tive menace to the lives of the in
mates and the factory had to be braced
to keep it from falling to pieces.
The present site would not be ade-
Quate in the future and he suggested
the purchase of another three times a
large. which he estimated could be Sc
cured for about $125,OO0. 1t would
cost at least S15O,OOO to put the pres
