BRIEFS FOR SCOLDING MOTHERS.
When you feel cross take a mouth
full of water and retain it. The irri-
liability will soon cease.
Resolve to control your voice. When
whirlwinds of cross words assail you
speak kindly. slowly and with deliber-
alton. Compel yourself to be pleas
ant.
Never nag.
When you refuse, refuse finally.
When you consent, consent cordially.
Commend your child often. One
word of commentator goes further
than a whole cyclone of hasty words.
Soon you will have gained control
over your own spirit-the dynamo for
the scolding supply, and the switch
to that battery, will be turned off
forever, while the energy wasted in
scolding will be changed into good
management material.
You are now, instead of continu-
Gus menace to yourself and your fam
lily, sweet and permanent joy to
your household.
3olomon's comparison. "a continu'
al dropping on rainy day and con-
tentious woman no longer applies
to you.
The same force that makes the
thunderstorm makes a beautiful,
bright day. Use your force sanely.-

World.

FEES FOR SINGERS.

In the past very large fees have
been paid to celebrated vocalists, the
record hitherto being, it is said. the
6 900 check handed nightly to Ade-
lima Patti by Col. Mapleson, during
the prima donna's engagement at the
Metropolitan Opera House in New
York. Christine Nilsson received
f400 nightly; Marcelle Sembrich,
$500; Campanini, f20O, and Nine.
Schalchi, e200. The only real rival
of Patti, Nine. Frezzolini, generous
and romantic souled woman born by
some mistake of nature in the most
material of all the centuries, would
never accept more than G 40 night.
In this respect La Frezzolini resem-
bled the painter who, when at the
height of his renown, never sold a
picture for more than s200, declar-
ing that "a piece of colored canvas
cannot possibly be worth more" How
ever this may be, even PATHS fees
have been surpassed today. And by
whom, think you? BY man, a

AN ANIMAL ANGLER-THE OF

Hunters and trappers have so de-
plete1 fur-bearing animals that few
are left who catch and eat fish; and
1T is fortunate the otter is now COM
paratively scarce in our northeastern
States. fc~ he is terrible and per-
severii.g 20 fish. He is so dainty
that frequently kill several

those pt. ons which best please his
palate, LAYING the remainder on the
watsrside TO become the prey of 9TH
er fish-loving creatures. For the pur-
suit of his finny prey the otter is
admirably adapted by nature. The
body is 1.-THE and serpentine; the feet
are furnished with broad web that
connects the toes which are of infin-
tie service in propelling the animal
through the water; the tail is long,
broad and fiat; and the short, power
full legs are so loosely jointed that it
can turn them in almost any direc-
ton. The hair of the body is of two
kinds-one close, fine. soft fur,
which lies next to the skin, protect
Ing it from extreme heat or cold; and
the other composed of long. shining,
coarse hair, which permits the ami
NAL to glide easily through the water;
the teeth are sharp and powerful. pre-

of its entrance, and on emerging upon
the shore the body is withdrawn from
the stream with the same noiseless
ease.
When the otter is engaged in eating
the fish captured it holds the slip

begins with the back of the neck

daily food is about four fish, weighing

DROPPING HIGH-PRICED TAIL
ORS.
Fashionable tailors for women with
expensive establishments in Fifth
avenue and other thoroughfares
where the rents are high have com.
planned recently that the number OF
society women who patroniZe them is
booming smaller each year. Strange
as it may seem, it is true, never
theless, that the women of wealth
while they buy many useless things
are as keen after low prices as their
poorer sisters. Time was when so
ciety woman would have scorned to
have her clothing made by any one
except tailor recognized as catering
only to the fashionable set. Now 40
men like Mrs. S,uyvesant Fish, Mrs
Astor, Mrs Goelet and many others
have all their garments made in the
side streets. They have found the
prices less where the rents are low
er, and as the wardrobes of all are
extensive they have saved hundreds
of dollars each year. The customers
of the highly expensive women's tail.
ors now are mostly women on the
fringe of the social set. actresses and
those who have acquired their wealth
recently.-New York Press.

There was a good deal of noise and

some time before l realized that there

distinguished, evidently talking to a

SANITARY INSPECTORS.

England is finding out that women
make excellent sanitary inspectors,
and quite a number of them are now
pozing around officially in the various
boroughs of London, trying to save
the poor and the overcrowded from
the fate that is always hanging over
them. An English sanitary inspector
is a sort of combination of a New
York factory inspector and tene-
ment house inspector, with a few adj
ditional duties thrown in. The in
spector not only visits tenement
houses, model dwellings and dwell
ing that are not model, factories
laundries and Offices where women
are employed, but she may be re-
quired to teach mothers how to take
care of their babies. The borough of
Southwark, in London, has three wo-
men inspectors, and there are four
teen boroughs that have two women
inspectors each and seven with one
apiece.
Some enthusiastic believers in the
sex say that women make better in
spectors than men-that men have
no eye for dirt. That is not true.
Many men are quick to see dirt and
disorder, and hate it, as many wives
can testify. Men have got that repu-
tation of Indifference to dirt because
of the way they growl at houseclean.
ing time, but their growls do not
that they love the process of cleaning
less. Women are probably no better
sanitary inspectors than men, but
they are just as good.-New York

work which the eleven received last fall

hand for this years eleven and with the
great benefit which will result from this

be able to repeat its success against It's

made last fall.
Mr. Weavers offer to allow the men to
train at his farm was readily and grate-
fully accepted and IL was decided some
time ago to start practice Sept 10. The
men will stay there until college opens on
the 9th and they will be able to realize
a great deal of benefit from their work
during this time. Victor Schwartz, cap
tain Of Browns 1906 eleven. together with

coach to Head Coach Edward N. Robin

valuable In developing man for quar-

Pougnkeepsie, IN. Y. Aug. 14.--This was
