q sigh, rs he looked down ut his wife.
who stood before him. with defiance in
every line Of her pretty face. Her
shoulders were thrown back and her
right foot advanced, while her hands
We're clinched as if for combat.
This ready acceptance Of her ex-
pressed determination annoyed her.
She had expected opposition and was
prepared for fighting 1t from every
standpoint. Her arguments had been
carefully prepared to defeat anything
he might say. And here he had accept
ed her decision without word. He
asked no concession, made no appeal.
1t was exasperating.
Ezra Robins was six feet tall and
big in proportion. Edna was little
mite of woman. whom he could car
ry like child In his strong arms. He
loved her with mighty love and
cherished her with an infinite tender
ness. He almost worshiped the girlish
prettiness of her face with its pink
cheeks, pale blue eyes. ashen blond
hair and weak chin. All these traits
appealed to his large nature as the ten
der beauty Of little child. Nothing
that he could do for her was too hard
or irksome.
Ezra had received next to no edu-
cation. as his family had moved TO
California before there were schools
and he had been obliged to work from
almost his babyhood. His father had
died. leaving him the ranch near the
summit Of the beautiful undulating
hin just beyond Piedmont. Here he
had brought his young bride.
Every comfort that he could obtain
for Edna was purchased, and he was
very happy in his protecting love and
abounding tenderness. He loved her
so entirely that he did not know or
| feel that her love for him was but a
| weak and attenuated sentiment Of halt
contemptuous liberation.
- Fer Edna Rabins had literary aspi-
rations. She subscribed for the story
papers, read Mrs Braddon, Ouida and
The Duchess. She longed to evolve
books like those written by her fa.
vorite authors and to people them
with such unreal characters as lived
In those books. She would sit fol
hours In her darkened room trying te
create a plot for book where all the
suffering heroines should live in sump
tuous homes, wear diamonds and have
dazzling beauty.

Of unrealities in her room Ezra would

DARBGE TO CELLARS

The water in the river at this place backed up to such an extent just before the advent Of the cold wave as to put several cellars in town out of business. The furnaces in the basements of both the B. Y. N. and depot buildings were inundat ed and it was necessary to abandon them and erect stoves to keep the buildings warm. The cellar under Taylor and Drury's store was flooded, causing much inconvenience. In front Of the depot the water came up fully two feet in the slip" which is sev- eraI feet higher than 1t has been here for years. The backing up of the water was due to an ice jam below town.-Whitehorse Star.

 Convinced that the couuuywoman is not getting the necessary training in the way to manage a home and be- cause og the fact that instruction In domestic science is for the most part confined to students in towns and cities the department of agriculture has talk eu up seriously the question of how to train the women of the rural districts to do their work and manage their homes.
 The individual brought up in the country may suspect that the farmers wife knows more about running a home properly than her sister in the city, but the department of agriculture doesn't feel that way about It. It finds great need for iusuucting the farmers wives and daughters lu domestic science and purposes to make a beginning through farmers institutes for women
 Results of Ignorance In Home.
 According to report on the subject by John Hamilton. farmers institute specialist or the department of 0grIcul- ture. comparatively little Is being done in training women and girls who live in the country in domestic science or the management of the home. The rural schools do little, and other Op- portunities are few. Ignorance in the home of the proper way to manage it, Mir. Hamilton points out, means food improperly prepared and sanitary con- ditious neglected. Moreover the selec- ton and cooking of food and the keep ing Of things clean are not all the items in the duties of the countrywOman. Other problems exist such as those connected with the rearing and educa- ton of children. the clothing of the family and Che social, intellectual and aesthetic Improvements oi the housewife herself

According Co thc census of 1900, there were 8T2HI45 women and girls in this country. About 30 per cent, or over 1&OOou0O. lived in the rural dis ricts. Alr. Hamilton says that toreach this great multitude with even limited educational facilities for the study of domestic science and household art will require, as Mir, Hamilton views 1t, a radical change in the methods here toforc pursued. The introduction of the study of domestic science and household art into the rural schools, the high schools and the normal schools is only part of the work that will be required.
 Winter schools for adult women will have to be organized" says Mir, Hamilton. Movable schools in large numbers will have to be sent out; suit able demonstration schemes will need Co be devised; expert advisers to visit couutrywomeu will have to be em- ployed, and publications adapted to the capacity and needs of rural house wives will have Co be introduced into fhair hompg

Institutes For Women.

Farmers institutes heretofore have been largely conducted for men. If women attended. they have had to con- sider the same subjects as the men, as rule. But now the movement for distinct farmers institutes for women is rapidly growing. and 1t is considered by the department the best agency at present to increase the cOuntrywOm- ans knowledge of domestic science. Last year T32 meetings for country women were held by the farmers in- suutc directors in the several states. The work iu such institutes is far from perfect, but J is in the right direction.
 As in the case of many other things, other more progressive nations in such matters are far ahead of the United States, though the American finds it hard Co realize it. Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzer- land. France and the German states have for many years been conducting schools of domestic science and home economies specially adapted to cOun- try people and also courses of study in these subjects in fixed institutions in towns and cities.
