Hou.ehoId Money.

Personally, says clever man In
housekeeping discussion, when my wife
is from home | hand the housekeeping
money to my cook, who is careful
soul with simple IDEAS and she inya-
riably has a surplus at the end OF the
month-and l lose weight, l believe,
but am In better health | have even
done the housekeeping myself.
My wife and l consider the allow
ance for food, etc, as a trust fund (no
matter who has it,, to be expended for
certain purpose in the home, the vic
tualing of the home, not for powder
and paint, nor for cigarettes or pipes,
but fer victualing the home.
1t is certainly the wife's duty, IL she
is doing the housekeeping, to expend
the whole, or else to tell the husband
she can do with less allowance in that
direction, or put 1t IN the rainy-day
fund. 1t Is not fair for anybody con-
cerned that the wife should cut down
supplies or use poorer food In order TO
save money for other, and perhaps pri-
vate, purposes other than for the pur-
poses the money was obtained. That
would be misrepresentation of the funds
at her disposal
The wife has her allowance for pin
money" as it is cailed, and the hus-
band does not claim her surplus OF
that, if any. Why should the wife
claim the surplus money from store
allowance or housekeeping?

Weighing the Rnhx.

1t is well to weigh the baby regular
ly. In some cases the weight is taken
daily, but once a week is usually often
enough. Nothing tells so accurately
how he is thriving.
The best time to weigh him Is when
he is undressed. just before his bath.
The same scales should be used each
time, and these must be accurate. The
scoop kind are best for young infants.
Before putting him In the scales ne
should be undressed and wrapped in a
small blanket The scales are then bal
anced and the amount noted, after
which the baby is removed and dressed,
says the New York Herald. Then the
blanket IN which he has been wrapped
is weighed and this amount deducted
from his weight A normal baby usu-
ally doubles his weight at the end Of
the fifth month, and By the end Of the
first year viii weigh three times bis
weight at birth. When properly fed,
healthy baby does not lose weight
There are times, however, when the
baby will gain very slightly, and, prob
ably, for few weeks will not gain at
all, and still be IN healthy condition.
During the teething period and dur
ing very hot weather the baby seldom
gains, or, at least, gains very little

Need for Companionship.

There is wise old German saying
that ''only a god or = brute can dwell
in solitude" Men and women need
congenial companionship, both for the
sake of health and happiness. Just as
your lungs, after using up all the oxy-
gen In a close room, need to be filled
with fresh, out-of-door air, so your
minds need contact with other minds
to get new ideas. There is such a
thing as mental as well as physical
hunger. Herders on the cattle ranches
of the West frequently become mad
from the isolation they are forced to
endure. Women ON lonely farms and
in small villages grow morbid and
mildly insane, and people do not guess
that the cause is want of companion
ship. 1t is for this reason that wom-
ans work at home is always more try
ing than that of her husband, who
goes to his Office, sees new faces and
has the friction that is produced by
meeting other people. Even the farm
err has more intercourse with his neigh
Dor at market or at the village grocery
than his wife, who may not see any one
outside of her own family for weeks.
1t Is a great mistake for young people
to isolate themselves. Even If their
tastes lead them to quiet life, they
should make it a point to cultivate
few agreeable friends.

NO STATE TAX BUT MILL TOLL.

Decision Reached by Governor, state
Treasurer and Secretary of state.
AS in the last four years, the State tax
win be RENTED this year. The mill
tax. however. will be levied this year
This was the decision reached by the
State board. consisting of Gov Davidson,
Secretary of State Frear and State Treas;
urer Dahl. From the figures before the
board there was unexpended N the State
treasury on Oct. l $1.53T, 14.64. The es-
timated receipts for the year 1908 are 81,
40, making a total of $6,543,614.64.
The Secretary of State thinks, however
that the estimated receipts are being plac-
ed very low The disbursements for the
coming year will be $5,479025, including
the S450,000 capitol appropriation. With
this estimate on Jan. |. 1909, there will
be balance in the State treasury of
$:554, 600. Secretary Frear thinks this is
conservative and believes it will be over
half a million The State assessment is
the basis upon which the present seven
tenths mill tax for common school pur-
poses and the two-seventh mill tax for the
university fund are levied against each
county and upon which the balance in
favor of or against the county in the
distribution of the school fund is found

ToWED BY A SHARK.
Ffsherman's DOry Dragged TWO
Miles Before Help Comes to IL.

Miles Before Help Comes to Ii.
When the fshing steamer Angler
tied up at the Battery last night she
had on board not only a story of how
a 35O-pound sand shark had towed
dory with two men in 1t through two
miles of rough sea, but also the shark
itself TO back up the yarn and the
sharks mate, which weighed a frac-
ton over 300 pounds, says the New
York World.
When the Angler started out yester-
day morning Captain Al Foster head
ed her down the Jersey coast to
ledge about thirty miles from New
York known as the New England banks
Blacklist, ling, Goldfish, fluke are
plentiful about the banks, but sano
sharks there have habit of gobb!ina
a hooked fish and making off with
fish, hook. line and sinker. Fred Eos
ter, the captains son, and Ferdinand,
the captains brother, were on board
for the express purpose OF capturing
some Of the marine pests.
When the Angler reached the banks
the two men were lowered over the
side of the steamer in a small dory.
The shark gear consisted of a stout
steel hook with chain snood and
ouarter-inch rope. The hook was bait.
ed with a two-pound ling. The first
shark appeared about noon and cir
cled the dory twice before seizing the
bait. Fred Foster grasped the line
when the big fish struck, but it burned
his fingers and he had to drop 1t. Luck
lily the end of the rope was fastened
at the bow of the dory.
The shark started for the sea, drag
ging the boat after him at terrific
speed. Waves splashed over the bow,
threatening to fill the little craft
Caught in the trough of the sea she
waved from side to side, and it SEEM
ed to those on the Angler that she
would capsize at any moment. One of
the Fosters seized an oar and steadied
the course of the dory.
Captain 81 Foster on the steamer
saw the predicament the two men were
in and, signaling to the engineer for
full speed, started in pursuit. So fast
was the shark travelling that the An
gler did not overtake the dory until
nearly two miles of sea had been COW
cred A rope was fastened to the
shark line, tackle rugged on the An
gler and with fifty men hauling away
Mr.. Sand Shark was hoisted aboard,
threshlng his great tail and swapping
viciously. He measured eight feet in
length.
Later in the day another shark, and
evidently the mate of the first one, was
caught. 1t measured a little over seven
feet. When the Angler reached the
Battery the two sharks were taken to
the aquarium.
Fred Foster, who has caught hum
dreds of sharks, declared that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is right in his assertion
that shark does not turn on its back
to seize its food. The shark, he says,
shoots up to an almost perpendicular
position when seizing the bait.

a long one, and they knew that the fox

without checking for an instant, dash
through the open door into the little

ILLITERACY GAINS IN STATE.

Statistics show Alarming Condition
Regarding Attendance AT schools.
Despite the fact that the population Of
the State is rapidly increasing at rate
Of about $1,000 annually, the attendance
Of children to the schools OF the State
shows no increase. From the reports sub
mitted 10 the State superintendent Office
for the past year ii is evident there has
been no increase in attendance over the
year before. Ten years ago the State of
Wisconsin was ranked as eighth in the
list for hteracy; now it ranks twelfth.
The number of people who cannot read
or write, according TO the federal statis-
tics, is rapidly increasing in the State.
The reports show that the number of per-
sons of school age in the State on June
80 last, was 172,516. There are more
people of school age in the counties than
in the cities. The number of school age
in the counties for the year ending June
80 was 4ST, 233 and in the cities 253,21S.
The compulsory education law has operat-
ed quite successfully in cities during the
past year and about~94 per cent of the
children of school age were in attendance.
In the rural districts only about 40 per
cent of the children We're in attendance.
This was due to change in the compul-
sorry education law. Formerly children
had TO attend school but twelve weeks in
the year. 1t was found that % per cent
of the country school children were in at
tendance. Then the limit was raised two
years ago to twenty weeks in the year,
and as a result the percentage dropped %
per cent. The report of the increasing
illiteracy in the State melted the recent
Legislature to pass law compelling chill
dren to attend schools twentyfour weeks
in the year. The amount expended for
the county and city schools during the
past year was S9,094,012.S6 OF this
amount there was expended on the city
schools $4.094, 3S001; and on the schools
in the counties 50. 400, 623S5.
