W0MAN'S RIGHTS III NORWAY.
Miss Guia kros, Pioneer, Tells What
Her Sex Has Gained.

Miss Guia Krog, a prominent Norwe.
gian delegate to the QuinQuennial meet.
ing of the National Council of Women
held in Toronto this month, said re
Gently to a New York Sun reporter:
"The women Of Norway have had
municipal suffrage and have been eligi.
BILE for all municipal Offices for the last
nine years and next fall will exercise
their rights as full voters for the first
time. Though we speak Of it as uni
versal suffrage, we don't really have
the same rights to the ballot as the
men have at present.
Before 1893 the men of Norway had
suffrage with the taxation qualifica-
ton. On that date they got universal
suffrage. Next fall the women of Nor.
way will begin to vote just about ou
the same terms that the men did be-
fore 1893, with the advantage that
married women can vote on the taxes
paid by their husbands and unmarried
women on those paid by their parents.
That is better than the men started
with, you see.
"The women Of Norway have served
on juries for upward of five years.
Often a woman is elected as foreman.
We serve In all sorts of cases, Just as
the men do. They look upon us wom-
en- of Norway as being interested in
the welfare of our country aside from
our sex. We have no children's court
as yet. In it's place we have a body Of
officers, men and women, elected by
the municipal authorities to look after
the welfare of the chi.Sren.
There may be women elected to par
lament next fall, but hardly expect
it. You see, with us the Conservative
party is very much stronger than the
Liberals or the Social Democrats. Our
ablest women, those who might be
elected to parliament belong to the
Liberals. 1 hardly expect them to get
in.
"One thing we who have worked for
suffrage in Norway have noticed-that
good many women held back, re-
fused us their assistance, but now
that the work is accomplished they
come forward with enthusiasm and
are eager to take part in it. l believe
the same will be found to be true here
in the United States"

The Very Newest Bracelets.

The following valuable informa-
ton is given to the dear girls, just
as we stole it, from fashion maga-
8ine:
1t is made of ribbon.
1t is worn around the wrist, over
the sleeve if a long-sleeved gown is
worn; on the arm simply, or over
the glove.
Black velvet previously confined
to the neck, now encircles the wrist.
1t is pinned with a small brooch.
Quaint antique brooches are Of
ten employed in this way.
Another idea is the ribbon
worked" in ribbon embroidery,
tiny pink roses, or daisies, or forget
me-nots.
Charmingly picturesque is the
length of tulle tied closely around
the wrist in a tight little bow, with
loose ends.
This may be either in white, or
in colors to match the costume.
Sometimes the same trimming is
used as that found in the blouse.
1t is merely put on in bracelet form
ending in demure little bow at the
outside of the wrist.

The Signs on the Walls of Three
Big Saloons.

In Spokane, Wash, there is
saloonkeeper named Jimmy Durkin.
He has two big saloons, and has
just opened a third. He has taken
his sons into partnership, and upon
the occasion of the opening of the
third saloon he wrote them a letter
about saloons, liquor and drinking.
For years and years Jimmie Dur
kin, standing behind the bar. has
watched the never-ending process
sion of customers.
He has seen tipplers and sots,
young boys and old men, rich and
poor, glad and gloomy all pass in
review before his bar.
He has learned a lot about booze
and lot about people. He has
summed up some of his experience
in notices which he has hung upon
the walls of his bar-rooms. When
the new saloon was opened Jimmie
picked out a set of signs for it..
Not only that, he bought large ad-
vertising space in the newspapers
so that his customers might read
them.
Here are a few:
Don't buy booze if your children
need shoes; Jimmie don't need the
money"
Don't lean on the bar thinking
it will support you"
IF mems consciences were the
tenderest things about them, this
would be happy world"
'The trouble with Jimmie's med
icines: The patient is apt to take
an overdose"
Keeping the bartenders busy
don't hurt my feelings"
"Durkin's bottles are good when
they are full-that is more than
you can say about the fellow who
gets full empting them"
The fellow who's wishing he
had it will never catch up with the
fellow that's trying to get it,
Buying drink for bartender is
like paying a conductors fare"
"A man who is looking for
trouble can find it easier than the
man that's trying to borrow
money"
IF we had a looking glass that
would reflect our past actions, We
would break it,
There is lots of chin music in
front of the bars in my three
stores; the best notes that l get
from it find in my cash register

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
Has Not Taken AlcohOrs Place, or
Proven the Boon Expected.

A recent dlSpatch from WASH
ington, gives the following:
Seventeen inspectors and four
revenue agents on the denatured
alcohol rolls of the Internal Revenue
Bureau have been dismissed because
their services are no longer needed.
1t is explained that the eXpecta-
tion that denatured alcohol would
make rapid strides in supplanting
gasoline as motive power for small
farm engines, automobiles, ETC., has
been disappointing; first, because
the engines now in use are not
adapted to alcohol, and second, be-
cause of its comparatively high cost
of manufacture by present methods.
Considerable progress in it's utiliZa-
tion in certain classes of manufac-
lures is, however, apparent, notably
in the production of celluloid, ether,
gunpowder, and as a solvent for
paints, varnishes and the like, and
to a slight degree as fuel and light.
In many of these uses it has taken
the place of wood alcohol.
But so far as any direct benefit to
the farmers of the country is con-
cerned, the removal of the tax of
S1.10 a gallon on denatured alcohol
has been up to this time inconsequen-
tial. 1t was fully expected by the
friends of the measure in removing
the tax that low grade potatoes,
cornstalks and other cheap pro-
ducts and by products of the farm
could be utilized in the production
of denatured alcohol that could sue
cessfully compete in large and
growing field with gasoline and other
mineral oils, but very little progress
in the direction has yet been made
The total production of denatured
alcohol in the United States during
1908 was 3,321,451 wine gallons
and in 1909 about 100000 gallons

a REVOLUTIONARY MUSKET.
Found by Lumber Co. in Trunk of
Tree at ShOhOIa, Pa.


Tree at ShOhola, Pa.
a curious find was made few
days ago in the wood tract back
of Shohola, Pike county, Pa, which
is being cut off and converted into
lumber by the Pennsylvania Lumber
company. a huge pine tree was
cut down. but the butt was defec-
tive and in order to secure sound
end to the log, the diseased portion
was cut off. In doing so it was
found that this portion of the tree
was hollow and the aperature had
grown over so that it was obser-
able to the wood chopper. In the
hollow was an old fashioned flint
lock musket, such as was in use
by the pioneer of this region.
AS the spot where the musket
was revealed is in the neighborhood
of the bloody battle which occurred
between the whites and Indians on
July %, 1879, in which the former
were defeated, it is supposable that
the gun may have belonged to one
of the wounded stragglers of the
defeated patriots, who had wander
ed off and died in the woods.
A miscellaneous collection of hui
man bones, which lay bleaching for
over forty years ON the battle field
near LackawaXen, were gathered up
and buried at Goshen. over which
the beautiful monument was erected
a few years ago, through the gen.
erosity of DR.. Merritt H. CASH.

WHAT QUEER BRUTES.
His Wife's Second Husband in Jail.
Enoch Arden Taggert Resumes
puSinaSS at tho Old Stand.

HIS NHeS y SeCOnu nuSDduu III OtAA'
Enoch Arden Taggert Resumes
Business at the Old Stand.
The following, which we gather
from Bloomsbury, Pa, dispatch, of
July 14th, is ridiculously interesting:
After absenting himself from his
wife and family for twenty-one
years, John Taggart, formerly Rev.
John Taggert, minister of the
Methodist Protestant church, and
modern Enoch Arden, turned up
at the home of his wife, in Hem
lock township. He found that she
had been married for many years
to another man and that her
second husband, John Van Horn,
was now in the county Jail serving
a sentence following his conviction
of a crime in which Taggart's son
was the prosecutor and which inn
plicated Van Horns own daughter.
In 1887 Rev. John Taggart mar
ried Miss Eliza Ivey, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Ivey of
Bloomsbury. To them year later
was born a son. Then the tongues
of gossip began to wag, with the re-
suit that Taggart threw up his
charge and left, ostensibly to find
work. From that day until Sunday
not word was heard from him.
His wife heard a report that he
had been drowned in the Johnstown
flood, and married John Van Horn.
By her marriage to Van Horn two
children were born, daughter,
now Is years old, who figured in
the recent case for which Van Horn
is serving time, and a boy now Z
years old. 1t was with the family
affairs in this condition, with the
second husband in Jail since last
May that Taggart found them upon
his return.
To a friend Taggart stated that
v he left his wife and baby to
seek relief from his troubles, he
lost control of himself and when he
recovered his senses he learned that
his wife had again married. Rath-
er than to stir up any trouble, he
allowed matters to remain as they
were and kept his whereabouts un-
known. He would not have re-
turned now, he Sdlu, Hdu lie uol
learned of the trouble his family
were in and felt it his duty to rem
der them any assistance in his
power.
1t was his purpose, he said, to
take his family to some section of
the country where they were not
known and start lite over again,
as the children had no future be-
fore them in these parts unuer the
condition of things. To this ar
rangements Mrs. Taggart or Van
Horn, agreed.
When asked where he had been
during the twenty-one years of his
absence he replied that he had been
everywhere, North, South, East and
West, even as far as Honolulu. He
followed the trade OF painting and
paperhanging and preached from
time to time.
When Van Horn was visited in
the Jail and informed of Taggart' s
return he was surprised. He said
he thought Taggart was doing the
right thing, and when he got out
OF Jail he would not molest his
wife and her former husband.

Over forty cases of typhoid fever
are reported as being prevalent in
Washburn's brickyard in the town
of Ulster, about three miles from
Kingston. DR.. E H. Loughran, the
health officer of the town, sent
samples of the water from a well
from which all the patients have
been using water to the State Bac-
teriologist at Albany for analysis, to
discover the cause of the epidemic.
The water has been pronounced pure
by that department after bacteriolo-
gical analysis by the experts there.
The State board is of the opinion
that the epidemic can be traced to
flies or mosquitoes. 1t was request
ed that samples of blood of the pa
tients be sent to Albany for eXamin-
alton and they were sent by DR..
Loughran. The we'll from which the
water was taken is so feet deep in
solid rock. The State Department
has also recommended that the pa
tients be isolated from flies or mos
quitoes while sick or convalescent,
and this will be done with the forty
six patients remaining in the town.
Four of the patients are at the
Kingston City Hospital. The re-
mainder are isolated in tents on
high ground and are under the care
of DR.. Loughran. Nets have been
provided in the houses in the vi
cinity to keep out flies and mosqui-
toes which might transmit the dis
ease germs to other people.

There is money in peppers, especially
the large sweet, green pepper, as 1t can
be used in so many ways from salad
to pickle. There is always a sale for
them, whether one lives on a farm or
in a village. Just let 1t be known
that you have peppers for sale and see
how fast the orders come in. You
will not even have to deliver them.
These peppers sell, according to their
size, from s cents to 10 cents apiece.
and from one good plant one can aver
age 81 and sometimes more. The
smaller kind used In mixed pickles
find ready sale too. Lima beans
are another thing that one can sell
and make money ON. y

The Wicked Potato Bua.

The potato bug is probably the great
est obstacle to the raising of potatoes,
but notwithstanding the deadly work
of this pest 1t is easily controlled If
resort is made to arsenical poisons. \
good method is to hand pick these
bugs, but it is tedious task. The
most popular course is to use paris
green either as dust or as part of a
liquid solution. If the bugs are taken
as soon as they appear it will seldom
be necessary to treat the entire field
The bugs, being killed on the part of
the field where they appear, will have
no opportunity to extend their laborS
to other parts. A recommended treat
ment is one pound of pure paris green
to $50 gallons Of water. When dust is
used one pound of the paris green may
be mixed with fifty pounds of air
Slaked lime and the resulting powder
applied by being sifted over the plants
with some kind of box in which are
small holes. A good sized pepper box
is found serviceable. In such case it
is better to apply the dust while the
dew is on the vines.

A Curious Fly.

a curious lantern fly discovered by
naturalists in the Malay archipelago
possesses the power of jumping a dis
tance of several feet without opening
its wings. 1t has Il projection on its
head which, when bent back and sud
denly released, throws the insect into
the air. This fly was seen to jump
from the ground to the roof of Il hut.

Food For Pet Owls.

Young owls are easily raised on fresh
meat, says st. Nicholas. Up to the age
of four or five weeks beef and mutton
finely chopped make a good food. Aft
er that mice. rats and English spar
rows, served whole, are in great de-
mand and come nearest their natural
food. These, if not too large, they will
swallow whole.

Maonesia.

The close affinity of magnesium for
oxygen is sufficient to cause it easily
to absorb oxygen from the air and
change it slowly into a white, pow

as maGnesia.

Anxious to Prove Claims


On Board The Osar II, Sept. 1S.-By
wireless telegraph, via Halifax, N. S-Dr.
Frederick A. Cook evinces the strongest
desire to arrive in New York as quickly as
possible.
He is anxious to prove to America the
veracity of his claims, although IL e charges
brought against him by Commander Peary
and others do not cause him the slightest
concern. He has a complete answer, he
says, for everything.
In reply to question as to what answer
he would make to these charges Dr. Cook
said this afternoon;
81 will not enter into any controversy
until | know definitely what has beer
brought again me and whence it eman-
ates Commander Peary's general and
articulate charges do not call for any
response from me until he gives to the
public as much as | have He has given
few details Of his journey, claiming that
he reached the pole on certain date
without much else.
His accusations are founded purely
on statements given him by an ignorant
man, whom purposely kept from learning
the facts. When land | will examine the
charges and reply when the proper time
comes.
"Peary's declaration that he is the only
man who has been to the pole and vii
prove it still awaits proof. As to the
affirmation that Pealy has evidence tC
refute my story, that evidence is based
on the word of Murphy, the boatswain
who is unable to read or write.
81 have already expressed my READINGS,
to place my observations before "A com
mittee from scientific bodies, and the yer.
dict Of that committee will justify my
story"
Dr. Cook has received dozens of dis
patches daily extending welcome to hin
and inviting him to receptions, banquet'
and other functions He is ready to accept
some of these invitations, but has left the
arrangements entirely in the hands O
John r. Bradley. Many offers have alsC
been made for lectures and magazin,
articles and on other propositions, which
| DR.. Cook has declined without exception
