day of crushing his enimies, upholding
his friends, purifying his house; and
then, with the heat of righteous battle
still upon him, with its gore, so to
speak, still upon his hands. of turning
his mind, without a pause and without
hypocrisy, to things intimate and soft
and pure-the domestic sweetness of

crowd, breasting the modern world, like

Identifying the Stars
In "How to Identify the Stars"
WHICH IIlt COMPANY -
bringing out this week, Professor Will
lis |. Milham has provided exactly the
information which amateur astron-
omers wish to find at hand. With the
aid of the charts and plans at the back
of the book the identification of the
consultations becomes a simple under
taking and in the text is to be found
much compact information. One very
valuable feature is the inclusion of the
D1afad work of the HAT-
ward observatory in determining the
magnitude of the stars. These figures,
representing the latest results of as
Economical research, have not hitherto
been readily obtainable. Altogether
the book provides a convenient and
agreeable introduction to knowledge OF
the heavens.
"From Cairo to the Cataract" is
most delightful capsule of Egyptian
history, with a sugar coating of pres
ent day life and conditions on the
Nile. Miss Carson takes us with her
on her visits to all of the most i'm
portant monuments and temples be-
tween Cairo and the First Cataract,
giving us, at the same time, the latest
accepted information about each. (You
may not know, for instance, how the
recently translated hieroglyphics ex-
plain the mystery of the building of
the pyramids.) Sidelights on 1.-THE
Professor and other members of the
party are deftly mixed with material
like this, so that the capsule is quite
palatable without the sugar coating.
Appended to the book are a few re-
marks about the religion of the an
cient Egyptians, together with sketch
of the history of the country. For
better appreciation of the more serious
passages we should advise the reader
to peruse both appendices carefully be-
fore starting the book itself.
The numerous photographs are ex-
cellent and convey a vivid idea of
Egyptian scenery.

PARADISE FOR sUFFRAG|sTs
A Little Corner Of the Sahara Desert
Where FeminisH Is in
Full Swing.

A French explorer just returned
from Africa has addressed an open
letter to Mile. Laloe and to the woman
doctor Nine. Pelletier, the great advo-
Gates of woman's rights advising them
to leave at once for the Sahara, or
rather to that district inhabited by the
tribe called Tuaregs.
The Tuaregs, says the explorer, are
crafty, cruel and treacherous, but they
are ardent apostles of feminism. The
Tuareg women are indeed privileged
beings. They have camels of their
own. which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are, so to say, nil.
They are allowed to have an adj
mirer who saddles their camels and
runs errands for them. According to
the Gentlewoman, the attitude of this
admirer must remain strictly platonic,
for II he starts making love to the
lady the husband flies into temper,
and an angry Tuareg becomes dan
gerous creature.
| According to the laws of the coun.
try the Tuareg woman need not fol
low her husband unless she wants to
do SO, nor is she compelled to serve
her spouse. She is educated, for she
! can read, and this accomplishment,
not shared by the other six, gives her
. privileged position in 90 far that she
acts a. judge or arbitrator in all din
cult cases.

MAY BUILD SEWERS.
Traer Considering Making Appropria.
ton for Partial System.

Traer Considering Making Appropria-
ton for Partial System.
Special to Times Republican.
Traer, Sept. IA meeting is to be
held on the 9th of September in the
town hall for the purpose of hearing
objections to the new proposed sewer
system at which time the owners of
the property subject to assessment for
the cost of the construction of the sys-
tenn may appear and make objection
to the contemplated sewer and upon
consideration and hearing of objec-
lions the resolution for the building
of partial sewer system, may be
amended and passed as proposed. 1t is
now proposed to construct a partial
sewer system in the city, which will
take care of the sewage from the new
school house and Main street at this
time, and later on to make the system
complete thruout the city. This step is
taken at the present time for the rea
son that a sewer system for Traer was
very evident within a couple of years
and upon figuring the cost of taking
care of the sewerage from the new
school building, 1t was found it would
mount upwards into the neighborhood
of $1,000 or $500, and when the sys-
tenn for the city would be put in, this
amount of money thus expended, would
simply be wasted, and for that reason
the movement was started to construct
at this time a partial system, complet-
ing the same later. The project is meet
ing with very little opposition.

MANY sparrows Killed.

Webster City, Sept 14.-During the
heavy wind and rain storm of Sunday
night millions of sparrows met death.
The ground under the trees in the
public parks and around the homes of
the city Were strewn with dead bodies
of the little birds. This same condition
no doubt prevailed in all the towns
in this part of the state, which means
that millions upon millions of the
little sparrows were killed by the
storm.
Many limbs were blown from trees,
but We have heard no great damage
being done, further than the blowing
down of corn in the fields.
