WISCONSIN SOLONS.
Force Premiums Down

The insurance bills have been prepared
lative investigating committee. James w.
Glover, professor of mathematics and in
surance in the University of Michigan,
who was the counseling actuary of the
Wisconsin legislative investigating COM
mittee, and who assisted in the prepara-
ton of the report made last fall, says
the joint committee is disposed to stand
by the recommendations of the investigat-
ing committee in demanding that a limi-
tation be placed upon premiums. "Inves-
legations of the various committees have
shown that the companies have collected
more than is necessary to transact bust
ness in the way of premiums said Prof.
Glover. There are various evidences of
this overcollection. The amount of undis
tributed surplus held by companies doing
business in Wisconsin is in excess of
$3.50, 100000. The recommendations pro-
vide a reduction of only 81 to $40 on
policies above the rates now charged. The
suggestions are not radical. The hill
will, however, interfere with the collec-
lions of premiums for eXtravagant pur-
poses. The companies ha.a contended
that such a bill should not be passed, that
to limit premiums is wrong in principle
1t appears. however, that competition
alone in the past has not effected a reduc-
ton and there is no guarantee that it will
do so in the future"

Feeding OF Farm Stock.

The composition and digestibility Of
feeding stuffs, feeding standards, pala-
liability of rations, and related ques-
tons are discussed by a New Hamp-
shire bulletin. Tables of composition
are given, and the computation Of ra-
tons explained by examples.
1.-THE economic feeding of stock
should be the feeders primary object.
Economic feeding must go hand in
hand with scientific feeding
1.-The principles of scientific feeding
have been carefully worked out by
skilled Investigators and feeders.
THE application of these scientific
principles is a very simple process in
volving only the rules of common arith-
metic.
Every farmer can and should apply
these principles iIr his everyday prac-
tice.
"a careful study Of the market
prices on feeds and an inspection Of
their guarantee tags will mean money

for it consists of merely a steel rod
that IS c!amped to a table. At one
end of the rod is movable arm that
may be adjusted at any angle and at
tached to the arm is a flexible steel
band that fits in the crown Of the hat
and that may be made larger or smaller
as desired. One of the most trouble
some things about trimming a hat is
holding 1t in such a position that the
hat isn't crushed, yet firmly enough to
sew the trimming on, and there was
probably never a woman who didn't
wish she had at least three hands while
she was struggling with a bandeau or
facing. The hat holder does away
with any desire for an extra hand and
saves considerable temper and no doubt
a certain amount of time.

Limit Is 70 Degrees.

The State started on new line of re-
form, when the public health committee
of the Assembly reported favorably on
Hughes anti-tights bill, with amendments
which compel actors, male and female,
to wear skirts four inches above the knees.
The original bill said four inches below.
The action of the committee is said to
have been inspired by the Thaw trial.
Before sending the bill back to the COM
mittee, two additional amendments were
adopted, as follows I'm case the temper
allure in the house is below seventy-two
degrees, actors must wear cloakS. When
the temperature is above seventy-two.
cloaks must be cast off, in which event
all bald-headed men must leave The
bill was up for passage, but after the
amendments were incorporated, Assembly

question was involved. after a man

MOtherhoOd.

This is one of the most beautiful
words in our guage-beautiful, not
as collocation of letter symbols or
sounds but for it's manifold meaning.
When it is pronounced in appropriate
connection a swarm of gentle ana ten
der thoughts spring up and hover
about it like honey-laden bees around
their hive; for it is generally conceded
that the highest type of human affec-
ton, the purest, most self-sacrifcing,
most enduring. is that of motherhood
In law, in custom, in literature, in art,
in religion, the richest tributes of adj
miration and respect have been laid at
the feet Of the mother.
1t is not strange that among certain
peoples, notably the Hebrews, mater
nifty was eagerly desired by married
women; and the grief Of those who re-
manned unmarried after attaining a
marriageable age was not that they
called to capture a man, but that they
were denied children. While to be a
married woman and be childless was
A'S"AdSu dS IeDEOdcu- hdcueI y dp-
peal to her husband, Give me chit
dren or | die" IS the pathetic cutlery
of heart that was breaking from its
unsatisfed longing for motherhood.
One would conclude from certain
positive utterances in the press that
the maternal instinct has quite ex-
pired in American wives of the better
grade; that is, the more intelligent
grade; but it is well ascertained' that
it survives, though not so generally
and intensely as is desirable. A little
more simplicity in the mode of life, a
little less of bondage to the despotic
mandates Of society, a little more Of
domesticity or plain love of home, and
nature will assert herself, TO elevate
the race and to bless the world.-The
Pilgrim.

nauchters ~ HoSfeSSes,

If girls are trained from childhood
in the art of entertaining guests, they
will naturally fall into the habit Of
considering home parties and gayeties
a part of the daily life, and, what Is
perhaps not so well understood, be all
the more popular for the reason that
they are good hostesses. To further
this, perplaxed mothers have to make
some sacrifice; they have to give young
people the privilege of inviting friends
of their on n age and assist in selecting
and preparing suitable amusements
whereby evenings may be passed more
pleasantly at home than elsewhere.

Tailored linen and pongee costumes
will again be in vogue for warm
weather.
The new petticoats and underskirts
are really too pretty to be hidden un-
der dress skirt.
Chiffon and marqusette skirts over
checked or striped silk foundations are
worn with taffeta coats, the color of
the thin fabric
Castor brown, tobacco brown, golden
brown and cinnamon brown, as we'll as
the pale chocolates, biscuits, putty and
apricot tones, are found among spring
shades.
Lattice work of ribbon is found on
many sheer evening fabrics, while lat
tice work of braid, both wide and mar
row, is used OH several chic tailored
cloth gowns.
Period gowns will characterize many
of the spring and summer models for
evening wear. One will see costumes
on the lines of those worn in the day
of Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. There
will be empire and semi-empire and
even the classical princess robe.
The general type of spring suits
comprises a short plated skirt and a
severe little coat. From this general
rule, however. there are numberless va
riations in the way of materials, strap
pings, buttons, revers, tassels and
sleeves, to say nothing of passemen-
terie and style of coat.
Pastel tints will make many of the
new cloth suits for visiting dresses
This coloring is, if anything. more
vague than formerly. The preference
seems to be with the pastel green's
! blues, pink and grayS Some of the
newest materials have white sheen
others are family shot with another
pastel tint, and still others show glints
of dull gold or silver.
The one-piece petticoat and cache
corset has apparently come to stay
and is marvelously embroidered and
befounced ana beribboned. "Complet'
is the French term for this garment
and it is found in silk and gauze in
place of the formerly Indispensable
dress foundation or slip. In fine en-
broidery with elaborate handwork and
valenciennes insertion it is dream of
beauty.
Brown bids fair to be worn this
spring. judging from the number OF
shades of this color on exhibition Old
apricot they are called, though they
more closely resemble copper from the
pale tint of highly polished metal. A
smart, practical, everyday hat would
be a toque of the soft braid or horse

Pass District Option Act.

The Baker bill providing for district
option in cities was passed by the As

that the residents of any district contain

petition have the question whether any
saloon shall be licensed to operate in such
district submitted to a vote of the cleo
tors, and if majority votes against sa-
looms the common council is prohibited
from granting license. Any block with
onethird or more of its street frontage
used for business purposes cannot be in
cluded in the prohibited district. The
bill also limits the number Of saloons in
any town. village or city to one for ev-
cry $50 inhabitants.

A WOmam's Age.

Seventy years young" IS the clever
phrase that fitted we'll the birthday of
q famous New England woman who had
kept untouched by time her vivacious
interest in life and youth. Now that
women are learning that with them, as
with men, it is true that one is as old
as one feelS--that their secret as we'll
as that of men resides in powers of
mind and graces of spirit, In viyacity
and sympathy and observation-disclosures
and spontaneous affection and ripeness
and serenity-they no longer conceal u
birthday like a crime or tell contempt
raries, who know better, white lies
about their age.
Silence or even deception as to their
years has been rendered useless for
thousands of American women by their
college diplomas. When a hundred
classmates know approximately the
ages of one another, the secret of the
passing years becomes an open one.
You can't be more than "a or less than
OIL" said heartless alumna to one who
was coyly refusing her age to a gath
'erer of statistics. THE Glass of 1871"
is a label hardly less Illuminating than
Born in 1850"
Moreover, college relationships have
a tendency to keep women young. by in
ducing them to resume the schoolgirl
attitude whenever they meet one an
other, and by creating a bond which
holds them to 1.-The girls" of all ages
and all places.
The supreme compliment to a woman
remains the same as three centuries
ago. AS time passes it becomes possible
to apply it to more and more of the
sex. Originally said of the wicked, fas-
cinating, irresistible queen, whom not
even her adorers could honor, it may
come to be true of the best of women
the world over:
Age cannot wither her. nor custom stale
Her infinite variety.

The Maple Leaf-Stem Borer.

An insect attack upon the petioles Of
the leaves of the sugar maple has been
observed in some localities In Connec-
ticut for the past seven years, says the
Entomology News. The larvae of this
pest develop from an egg laid at the
base Of the leaf and burrow through
the petiole, which finally breaks off,
causing the leaves to be shed In May
or June. The insect has been identified
as Proiophorus acericaulis, a species Of
sawfiy.
A few parasites have been reared
from specimens of the sawfly. No good
results can be expected in controlling
this pest by application Of insecticides
to the tree. 1t is suggested, however.
that since the larvae fall from the tree
and enter the ground about June 10, a
large proportion of them might be de-
stroyed by spraying the soil at this
time with kerosene emulsion.

Without exception the skirts which
strictly tailor-made. They may be
fashioned with tucks innumerable or
they may be strapped. banded or other
wise trimmed, but over all there will
be the tailor finish, which, contrasting
with the coat, gives it the required
new" appearance This effect is gain
ed in many ways, and its popularity is
bound to give the plated skirt not
only a new lease of life, but a stronger
vogue than it enjoyed even at the be-
ginning of its reign.
There are really two distinct classes
of jumpers, those to be worn with two
niece street suits over lingerie or shirt
waists, and which practically convert
such street suits into dresses; and the
fancy Jumper, which may be WORN with

Driety ut simple dinners and to CON
certs and the theater. Those included
in the first class must be made OF ma
terial like that of the skirt, or of diff
lerent maletldl which perfectly MATCH
as the skirt in color, or of the princi-
pal color in the skirt if the latter be
of check or plaid.
4 milliner with turn for philoSo-
ply declares that a woman's character
is infallibly revealed by the hat she
wears. There are audacious hats.
modest bats, ridiculous hats and hats
that reveal the wearer as car tious and
secretive. As a rule woman of strong
personality may be trusted to choose a
hat to suit her. She is strong enourb
to withstand the temptation to wear
something merely fashionable. The
vulgar, self-assertiye woman generally
selects a loud obtrusive hat but even
that l prefer to the funereal style of
headgear affected by the morbid wom-

Women who are clever enough to
trim their own hats ought to be inter-
ested in a little Invention for holding
the hat In any position while it is be-
ing trimmed. 1t is one of those simple
little affairs that makes one wonder
why 1t hadn't been thought Of long ago,

Clean Beds Measure Is Lost.

After spirited debate the Barker bill,
regulating sanitary conditions of hotels,
was killed in the over house Friday by
a vote of 46 to SO. 1t had been passed
previously by the Senate. Assemblyman
E. A. Everett, a former Chicagoan who
runs a summer hotel at Eagle River in
the northern part of the State, led the
attack on the bill, and Assemblymen II.
II. Miller of La Crosse and Wesley Ir-
vine of Manawa, practicing physicians,
defended it. The essential features of
the bill are as follows "All beds and bed
ding in all hotels and public boarding and
rooming houses must be kept clean and
reasonably aired, and all sheets or blan-
kets and pillow cases be changed after
being used, and not again used for other
guests until they have been thoroughly
washed and dried"
