Age ProbIem i'm Merrlaee..

age frObAem IN maFrlaRe8s
Is there any truth in the belief that a
husband should be several years older than
his wife?
The answer depends largely upon the. type
of the man and woman, their temRera
ments, habits and customs, says the st.
Louis Republic.
Our mothers and grandmothers aged at
lightning speed. A woman of 80 used TO
look and feel as old as the modern woman
of 30.
Because Of this rapid whitening OF
womanhood, as compared with that of
manhood, 1t was necessary that a differ
ence of ten years should exist at the time
of marriage Unless this precaution was
taken, the better preserved man of 40
found himself husband to a gray-haired,
lined and wrinkled woman. Nowadays
women have learned the secret of self
preservation.
In mind, heart and body a woman may
still be young and very ornamental at 80
and upward.
Men, on the other hand, age more
quickly-at any rate, In the matter Of
baldness-than they used to- When his
hair gets thin on the top something like
ten years is added to a mans appearance;
so that a well-preserved woman at so
balded-headed man of 40
Old superstitions die hard, and it is ex-
tremely dimcult TO get rid of the tradition
that all men are strong. self-reliant and
masterful, and that all women are lean
ing" confding little weaSlings. If this
were true, the marriage OF a middle-aged
woman to a young man could never be
success.
Nevertheless a very large percentage Of
such unions turn out remarkably we'll
Many men absolutely need a wife Of
strong character and experience in life.
By good advice and influence a woman
of mature age can often help on such
men in their business or profession. If a
young man possesses weak and waver-
ing will, If he is not steady and well bal
anced, to marry an uniformed girl will be
the last straw to carry him over.
An older, sensible woman of the world
can sometimes work wonders in a some
what weak-willed husband, where a girl
would be absolutely helpless.
Adaptability Is the secret of a success
full marriage. But It comes very hard to
a woman who has been supreme monarch
Of her own life for many years, who pos
sesses decided views and has been accus-
toned to manage her own affairs, to sud
denly be called upon TO adjust her tenn
permanent and habits TO those Of strong
willed, decided man.
For this reason a middle-aged woman
who elects TO desert single blessedness
chooses more wisely II she mates with
a man OF more coloriess character than
herself The gray mare is then the bet
ter horse, and the elderly wife of the
younger man can very fittingly take her
position as leader OF the team
In this way the husband gains the sup
port and prop he. with his comparative
inexperience of life, stands in need OF,
while the wife does not have to alter her
habits convictions and customs.
Consequently It frequently happens that
the tact. sympathy and good management
Of the mature woman outweigh the more
youthful. endearing charms of the girl
and the marriages OF elderly wives and
young husbands often turn out remarkably
well.

Only the woman who can do the small
things at home. conquer domestic difieul-
ties and hght shoulder to shoulder with her
husband In the days Of adversely, can hope
to do bigger or greater things in the out
side world.
Some women get the idea into their heads
that they are cut out for some great ca
reer-for some sort OF ideal existence, says
a writer in the st. Louis Republic. they
are not always sure what sort, but some
thing far removed from the petty little af-
fairs OF everyday life. The woman who
suffers like this-and she doesn't forget to
let others suffer at the same time-may pos
sibly have some talent but it isn't really

Since the foundation of the station at
Naples in 1872 by DR.. Anton Dohrn fifty or
more laboratories have been established in
different parts Of Europe, America, Aus

Dr. Dohrn, the highly endowed station at
Naples offers a central point for the inter-
change of ideas brought from all quarters

time to know one another and the young
man an opportunity Of saving money and
improving his position.
But an engagement which "drags" wear
lily over five, seven and more years, says
the st. Louis Republic, is most trying and
wearing to a girl. Often the best and most
hopeful years of her life are wasted in
waiting, and after all, something happens
to prevent the marriage from taking place.
She finds herself more or less stranded"
on the shores of spinsterdom, having
missed perhaps the chance of one or two
other men in position to marry her at
once.
Waiting about year after year for a man
who doesn't get on very well or who
makes plausible excuse from time to
time for putting of the wedding is rather
risky proceeding. There aIe a good

But the marriage never undertakes"
There are too many sad and disappointed
'old maids" who have been the victims Of
long engagements. and the most sensible
thing for a girl to do whose fiance year
after year cannot ask her to name the day
is to break off the engagement and not
wear out her youth and best years waiting
for a man who hasn't the energy to get
on" in the world for her sake.

Leaves from Fashions Note Book.

With the summer dresses there are now
madc some charming little boas which are
designed specially to go with the gowns
Taffetas are hand embroidered and, to
make them more effective the polka dots
are introduced in connection with other
hand work
One Of the most extravagant things OF
the season is a gown Of very fine net lace
over an embroidered background or Slip
The effect is something like the shadow en-
broidery which was fad of last summer
Swapping, piping, needlework and art en-
broideTy OF every kind appears upon the
silk dresses Of the season and also upon
the cotton gowns. 1t matters not whether
gown be washable or not, 1t is trimmed
with delicate silks and even with tiny ue-
signs IN velvet.
Many gowns are made very simply, and
this is boon to the woman who can fit.
And as for capes, there IS fancy for
the cape that is made of CLOTH quite un-
trimmed, and lined with pretty cOlored
satin. Such cape or cloak Is not neces-
sarily expensive.
1t can surely be stated that the embroid-
cry fashions were never so numerous as
TINS summer. And Tor the time being, even
lace is set aslue Tor the more popular
needlework. but in numerous instances
lace ana embroidery are combined. Lace
is used with embroidery IN thousand
ways.
IL Is becoming fashionable to introduce
three or tour Inherent Kinds of lace IN these
lingerie gowns. BANDS Oh cluny run around
the belt line; there are Insertions OF met
lace upon the waist, nOunCes trimmed with
net are set around the foot of the skirt
and the neck ana sleeves are trimmed with
ting frillngs of valencIennes lace and a
little irish crochet. thus IS the lingerie
gown put together. 1t is marvel in daint-
mess.
Inc lingerie dresses are so pretty that
many women wear them all the year
around, even in the washable goods. And
IN making up a lingerie gown, IL IS wei
70 calculate upon it being worn next winter.
1T should be an au-tne-year- round trOck.
And, by the expenditure of little thought.
1t can easily be so planned that 1t is just
as good next winter In the ballroom as It
Is this summer at the hop.

scarcity of Teachers.

E7ITH the approach OF the end OF the
w school year complaints Of the
scarcity of teachers come from
ES&f<G{I various cities. In New York,
- Chicago and st. Louis the supply
IS scarcely equal to the demand, although
each city draws extensively on the teach
ing talent OF the surrounding country.
The chief difficulty, particularly in New
York, is that the production of teachers
barely equals the increase In school at
tendance, while marriage and other causes
annually makes large inroads in the ranks
Of the teaching profession. These losses
are partially Offset by larger classes and
more of them, materially increasing the
work to be performed. particularly in the
higher grades. In New York women
teachers arc vigorously demanding equal
pay with men for like work. The dis
parity in salaries has been an irritating
grievance for years and lie likely to be
remedied by the legislature this year. st.
Louis reports a greater scarcity Of teach
ers than any of the cities named and the
reason for It is found in low wages. Be-
ginners receive $500 a year. Schoc officials
and members of the Board of Education
agree that the only solution is better pay
In all grades, not only TO attract teachers
from surrounding towns, but to retain
many OF those already in the service of the
city.

A Clever Catch

Hiram Giles, of Grafton, who is in the
livery business reported at the customs
this week span of horses that had
been spirited across the boundary line
into Canada without his consent or that
of the customs department.. Sometime
ago stranger called at the barn and
asked for team to drive through the
neighborhood, that he was looking for
land and expected to be away couple
of days.. Time elapsed, the team was
not returned and Mr.. Giles started a
relentless search that lasted several
weeks. He found the stranger had
gone north and located one horse forty
miles west of Winnipeg where he had
traded it to a, doctor, and the other he
had sold to Jew junk peddler in Win
nipeg. The culprit is in charge of the
Provincial police and will be returned
to Grafton for trial

the equalization board made no great
changes in the assessment of this county,
and all but one of these were reductions
The only changes we're as follows:-
horses 3 years old and over 30 less;
cows, $3.50 less: oxen, 6Gc less:
shares of bank stock % per cent
less; engines and boilers, SO more.
Lands, structures, town lots, and other
property left as returned by the county
board. This of course will be very

Got Away and Got Again

Jacob Martonious was brought in last
week for examination by the board of
insanity and found insane and was or
dered committed to the asylum at
jamestown. Martin was a former resi-
dent near this city and was prominent
character in the Till case, when the lat
ter was tried and found guilty of the
murder of Adam Miller several years
ago. From the fact of the conflicting
stories told by him at that time, and
the furthur fact that he was the most
intelligent of number of Hungarians
who were there abouts, there was al
ways more or less suspicion that at least
he knew more about the murder than
he told on the witness stand. Later he
moved to the vicinity of Hamilton and
was renting farm belonging to Frank
Tough of Bathgate. Last year he got
word that legacy had been left him in
the old country and after seeding we mt
back to get it, intending to return by
harvest time. He got the money, about
5000 and started back, but got detained
seven weeks, on account of the boat get
ting into long quarantine.
Meantime in the long wait he formed
the acquaintance of friend on the ship
and when they at last was on shore they
parted, and the friend took Jacobs cash
leaving him stranded In New York City.
He finally got funds from friends in this
county to pay his passage back. When
he arrived he found his troubles not yet
over. as his wife had gone off with an
other IN m, taking what she wanted of
property and the owner of the farm had
taken the rest.
All these troubles and perhaps some
troubles that he doesn't tell anybody
about, preyed on his mind and disar-
ranged his reason. He was taken by
sheriff Roadhouse and deputy Atkinson
on the N. P. on the way to the asylum
but when near Oriska, west of Fargo,
Martin went to the toilet room and
while the door was shut, opened the
window and jumped from the train
which was going about thirty miles an
hour. The sheriff soon missed him, and
the train was stopped, but though
thorough search was made by the sher-
if along the track and the neighborhood,
Martin could not be found and the sher-
if and deputy came home: On Tues
day word was received that Martin had
been arrested at Tower City near where
he had jumped the train, sheriff Road
house left immediatelyNto complete the
trip, and we dou't think Martin will
get away this me.-Martonious was
known by the name Martin by acquaint-
ances here.

Another Insane Nan

Judge Wick had caller this week
in the person Of q gentleman who intro
duced himself as Colborne Bell. Mr..
Bell had some very private business
with the judge and after writing his
name in full, he proceeded to draw di.
agrams, about the various groups of
letters, by which he showed his relation
ship to Edward Victim, who claims to
be King of England, as we'll as Napo}-
con Bonaparte, the Highlanders oflScot-
land etc. The Judge became somewhat
nervous in the presence of SO much roy
atty, and visitors coming his highness
excused himself for a time and went out
promising to call again. Later the
Judge informed the sheriff and some of
the insanity board and when Mr.. Bell
came in and began explaining diagrams
they all concluded that he had better
be taken into custody. The presence
of the others rather disturbed Bell and
he started to leave, so the sheriff at
tempted to arrest him, but he objected
so siren uously that Mr.. Roadhouse call
ed assistance and after some tusselling
the man was taken into the. Jail. Upon
being searched big loaded revolver was
found in his pocket, and the officers and
Judge Wick are since wondering how
near they came to something rather
serious. Bell has been living in the
neighborhood of Hamilton and was last
at toilette where he has relatives. He
told the latter that he was coming to
Pembina and they tried to dissuadelhim
as they had noticed that his actions
were rather queer. Last Sunday in
spite of protest he took the precaution
to take his revolver with him to Rev.
karrs services at toilette. He was COM
mitted to the asylum about seven years
ago and later discharged. He will
doubtless be sent there again.

1t looks like baby machine alongside

to thresh out about thousand bushels
a day, and at that rate it. will not take
long to thresh out a section of land
and in the meantime it will not be nee

around to keep the things moving. In
our opinion, smaller machines and more
of.them is what must happen in the
future. The present threshing arrange
