PARTS OF BIBLE
UNPRINTABLE

The majority of the religious peo-
pie of today accept the Bible as it
Is without question. If these same
good people who are so noisily pro-
claiming their virtue by protesting
against the publication of uncensored
news will go carefully through the
lid Testament they will find that by
their own standards OF morality
many parts OF this volume should
be unprintable. Now either this part
OF the Bible is imperfect and i'm some
respects Objectionable and inspired
by evil instead OF good or God clear
ly intends that people shall have the
recital OF things just as they are
There is, for example, a book I'm the
Bible much franker and more sug-
gestive than anything in the much
described opera, "Salome." No news
paper of unclean, tendencies would
think of now printing some OF the
Facts of sacred history in the I'M
yelled form they are set down i'm the
Bible This doesn't mean that the
Bible errs, but It does indicate that
those whose authority It's should
look to their own tactics better

FREDERICK THE
GREATS SPIDER

On the ceiling OF one OF the rooms
In Sans Souci, the world-renowned
palace of Frederick the Great, is
painted a great spider with its web.
The origin of this strange decora-
ton Is as follows This apartment
was the great kings breakfast room
md adjoined his bed chamber.
Every morning when his majesty
entered the room he was accustomed
to find cup of chocolate, but on
one occasion, just as he was about
to drink, he thought of something
he had forgotten and returned to
his bedroom. When he again en-
tered the breakfast room his majesty
discovered that a great spider had
dropped from the ceiling into the
cup, and he naturally cried out for
fresh chocolate to be prepared.
The next moment the king was
startled by the report OF a pistol
No sooner had the cook received the
order than he blew out his brains
Not because the king had refused
the chocolate did he do this, but
because he had poisoned the cup and
had thought himself discovered. It
was in remembrance of this narrow
escape that his majesty ordered the
spider with its web to be painted
on the ceiling.-Fictitious History.

There seems little doubt OF the

Prof. Willis l.. Moore, Chief of the

the only way TO convince people of
the error OF the idea that the win
ters are becoming milder. He SAYS
this belief is very costly to many
people, and he is pleased when Sc
we're weather comes. OF the blizzard
of 1888 Prof. Moore says: when
you get old enough you will be tel
ling your boys that that occurred
every winter when you were young
ster, and that the weather is not
what IL used to be-" Thomas Jeffer-
son wrote: 1T is apparent that the
climate OF Virginia is changed. The
Old inhabitants here tell me that they
remember when the snow lay on the
ground four months every year and
they rode I'm sleighs. Now II is rare
tlat we get enough snow to have a
sleigh ride. II is apparent that the
climate of Virginia has changed since
1907, when the settlers came into
jamestown. There has been a
great deal of clearing in the thickly
wooded country of Virginia since
1907" Prof. Moore says, but, really
that would not change it. The
change was in the men who were
telling the story" Well what does
the oldest inhabitant" think of It.?

Those who know the man will tell
you what a good game of golf he
plays, how he can send a rife bullet
through a 10 cent piece at 20 yards.
These are things worth knowing
about a really great man. And Mer-

plished man. He speaks all langua-
ges. His English is perfect: he is

HELP THE BUTTER TRADE

The best way to help butter prices
is to make better butter. The great
est n to the industry now is poor
butter and so much more of it. If the
country store l0-cent brand could be
worked into some other channel for u
while; if we could give all butter con-
sumers n taste of the genuine article,
1t would mean the n of the poor stuff
that finds it's way to SO many tables.
until butter makers take hold of the
proposition right, rope products and
bogus butter will be sold in enormous
curtains in many farm homes where
the l0-cent brand is made. and seeing
the methods of renovated butter factor
les and oleomargarine plants, my sense
of smell compels me to take my chances
with the last, 1t is nothing but down
right carelessnesS in taking care of
milk and following methods in use
twenty-five years ago.. that brings so
nue. bad smelling, varied colored but
ter to country stores. l have witnessed
instances where the care of milk from
the time il was drawn until long after
breakfast, was almost criminal. These
may be strong words, but they are
Facts, which anyone can SEQ for him
self, IL he will happen aroun a shiftless
farm when the milking is in progress.
The way to help the dairy business is
to help the quality of your home made
goods. Think of any business mar SELL
ing for 10 cents what 1t has cost 20
cents to produce. That's just what you
are doing when you sell butter at 10
cents a pound.

MEN WHO MAKE GOOD HUs.
PANEC
From the New York Weekly

From the New York Weekly.
An alleged authority on mankind has
given his views on the sort of men
that make the best husbands. Among
the really nice one he classes the man
who is fond of fishing, the lawyer. and
the all-round journalist.
He does not get enthusiastic over the
popular doctor as a husband. and a
musical genius or q man of letters gives
him cold chills and shudders. The au-
thor, he says, is SO fond OF his fine
sentences that he is disagreeable when
the baby cries, and makes himself gen
orally odious about his food, and noise
of the children, and any domestic in
felicities that may come along.
The musician cares for little except
his art, and the wife is often secondary
to the claims of a prima donna.
All in all, the good journalist seems
to nave the most strong points. He
is a bit of 81 philosopher, is likely to be
practical makes the best of what cam
not be helped. and is full of alterna-
tives The lawyer is good to have in
the house. He is likely to be alert. a
good judge Of human nature. a good
talker. and quite as fond of listening as
OF hearing the sound of his own voice.
He studies human nature at home as
we'll as abroad and is altogether a good
fallpw

PARIS woMEN's HOTELS.
Another Home for Business Girls at
Low Prices Opened-Run at a Profit.

From the New York Sun.
Another women's hotel of the cheap
err sort has been opened in Paris. 1t is
called La Villette and has been built
and is to be managed by the Societe
Philanthropique.
This is the society's third venture in
the wolnen's hotel line. The first was
opened in 1902, with funds b~equeathed
by the Baroness Hirsch de Gereuth and
DR.. Margolin. 1t was such a success
that the society began a campaign for
funds for the new enterprise.
These were provided in 1903, when
Jaques Stern died.. leaving 10000 OO
francs (S2OO,OOO) to the society for the
purpose, and in October, 1904, the sec
ond hotel was built in the La Roquette
quarter. 1t had seventeen large and
ninety-seven small rooms. 1t cost $780,
900 francs, or $4,000, and every room
in it has been continuously occupied
since it was opened, with a waiting
list.
The new hotel is OF about the same
size and cost about the same amount.

on the opening day of the second, shell

ing for their living. including sales
women, clerks, g~overnesses INC holders
Of small government situations. It is
said that even society women without
escort AVE found shelter there for
brief periods
A speclai point is made of having the
hotels nicely decorated and prettily fur
nished so that they may be attractive
to young women for other reasons be-
sides their moderate prices. They all
nave ample bathing facilities-not a
common thing in cheap French lodg-
ings-and roof gardens. where the
boarders can enjoy themselves in fine
weather.
One of the larger rooms costs at the
rate Of 20 cents a night; one of the
smaller ones IL cents. A bath costs 4
ant the price of portions varies from
2 to 6 cents; the fullest meal that can
be made Up, including soup, meat,
vegetables, sweet bread and wine, foots
up just II cents.
Both of the older hotels are not only
paying their expenses; they are maxi
ing money. The society hopes in a year
or SO to build another one.
