Can a wife caVse the arrest of her

KANSAS TOWN BARS SWEARING.

by chowder' is the official swear
at Waterville, Kan, now. The people
of this burg cannot use any cuss words
stronger than that under pain of 60
ing to Jail. The street loafers of Wa
teryille, it was charged, became so
profane that the women of the town
hesitated about going out on the
streets. They would rather stay at
home than to hear men using vile Ian
guage. The merchants felt the loss of
the women's trade keenly and prevail
ed upon the City Council to enact a
drastic law against swearing. In ODE
dience to the demand, the Council
made it misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and Imprisonment, to swear
within the city limits. In order to
help the chronic cussers out, however,
the Council ruled that "by chowder"
would not be considered a swear
word.

SUIToR MAY BORROW.

Judge Says, However, Girl Should
Not Lend Her Fiance Money.
According to an opinion rendered by
Justice Goff in the New York Supreme
Court, it is not at all the classy
thing for a young woman who is en-
gagged to be married to lend money to
her fiance. Justice Golf says it can
not be considered crime for a man
who obtains money in this fashion to
omit the formality of repaying it, be-
cause he may be a trifer and his VOW
to we'd may be a false one-a situation
that rests entirely with the conscience
of the party of the first part and over
which the court has no jurisdiction.

this purpose is pinned on at the
front of the coiffure, to be taken off

not put back again. Most brides
in this country wear the veil off the
face. The same rules as to dress ap
ply at home as if the bride is mar
ried at church.
The bridesmaids usually wear hats.
but very pretty custom, followed
much in Europe, is the wearing of
tulle veil instead of hat This veil,
which is adjusted with a wreath of
flowers. and of course worn back
from the face, is always becoming.
The veil matches the gown in color,
and the flowers are the same as those
in the bouquet. The bridesmaid and
maid of honor both wear Gloves

CLOVER SICK SOIL.

Ever since the beginning of farm
ing in the United States there has
been 4 misunderstanding in some sec.
tions and among certain farmers as
to why clover won't grow. Of course
there are different reasons. but it is
usually because the ground is either
sour or because it is not good enough
to give the young plants the proper
start.
If a farmer finds that he cannot
make red clover or alfalfa do well,
it is comparatively an easy thing for
him to experiment with an acre or
so. Let him buy. say fifty bushels
of Lime just before he sows his grain.
Maize a big bin of boards on the
ground, dump the lime in it and
slack with water. Water-slackened
lime is much better than air-slacl-
ed. Then, after the soil is prepared
for seeding, scatter 25 bushels of this
slackened lime on one acre and SOW
it with three pecks Of barley and 25
pounds of good, well tested alfalfa
seed. Then scatter say 300 pounds OF
soil from an old alfalfa field, or soil
from the side of the road where sweet
clover grows in abundance.
OF course farmers cannot afford to
do great deal Of promiscuous ex.
pe-imenting but it pays to know your

WORK FOR THE NERVOUS.

WORK FOR THE NERVOUS.
Now, what is true for normal,
healthy life is equally true for abnor-
NAL. morbid life The popular doc
trine for long time has been that
for nervous persons rest is a neces-
sity. This doctrine has been em-
bodied in the famous Weir Mitchell
cure. And doubtless for certain
cases rest should be commended-as,
for example, in certain acute exhaus-
tive states of the nervous system,
where there is a genuine or physical
fatigue as distinguished from psychi-
cal fatigue. But modern students
are more and more coming to realize
that not absolute rest but modified
rest-that is to say, rest and work
combined-is the sovereign remedy
spr nervous disorders. The great ma
jority of persons who suffer from
neuras.henia complain Of sense Of
fatigue, and they need above all
things is rest, or cessation from activ-
ity: but they forget that, in a vast
majority Of instances the fatigue does
not spring out OF any real muscular
weakness, but rather from psychical
or mental causes.-Rev Samuel Nc.
