AS TO SILENCE AND CHATTER
Middle Course Suggests Itself to Those
Persons Who Are Possessed Of
Common Sense.

A Chicago husband has been put
under bonds to keep the peace with
his wife. The form of annoyance to
which the wife was subjected was
talk, continuous, unremitting talk,
at one time lasting for IL hours, she
alleged in the petition. So this dear
husband to keep out of Jail, for too
much talk, had to file bond.
1t was the proper course to pur-
sue. 1t is certainly cruel thing
for the fine sense of woman to be
annoyed by the continuous gable of
man. For it was gable, wretched
gabblc, indeed, for few men could
talk sensibly one hour, let alone IL.
1t was well that that woman had
the spunk to make him quit.
But the opposite condition is sug-
gested by this incident, where the
husband keeps glum and speechless
for hours at stretch, making his
wife think his mind is occupied
with ponderous thoughts of business
and all such stuff. Such men are as
ridiculous as the fellow who crushed
his wife by incessant talk. There
is golden medium, where the wife
is made happy and the home fair by
conversation that is mild and
sensible. and which terminates like
an old song when the melody ends.

THIS IN THE SUMMER DAYS
When They Played Poker on the
Housetops IN the Metropolis Of
the Country.

1t was SO warm that the fiat
dweller who lives among the weather
vanes couldn't sleep. She got up
and began prowling about in search
of breath of fresh air, going final
ly into the kitchen to see if she
couldn't find one there and at the
same time get drink of water. She
was amazed at the liveliness of the
scene which met her view from that
window. In the first place the Roof
across the area was hung with white
clothes, straight and still, without
the breeze that should have blown
but didn't. Then these clothes were
partly lighted by the flicker of a
candle that made them very pictur-
esque. The candle was set fiat on
the roof and around it was grouped
party of four, playing cards.
1t was gypsy-like scene that
really should have been out on the
green grass in the daytime. The
dark starlit night back of the white,
still hanging clothes, the faces, some
of them picked out by the light OF
the candle, some in shadow, all in
tent on the game; the quiet, as if
they were four spirits out there play
ing cards in the night, instead OF
four absorbed people.
The fiat dweller stood looking at
them awhile, then went back into
her den, picked up the little clock
there and looked at the time. Three
at must be poker they are play
ing" she said, as she went back to
bed.-New York Press.

INDIA A Mosaic OF Castles
Society in Eastern Land Divided Into
Numberless Forms Of 0rotesque
Distinctions

No other country On earth fur
nishes even a distant parallel to the
structure of Indian society, soci-
ETY. in which the lines of division
are still the primitive lines of race,
religion and caste, deepened by CEN
turtles of incessant warfare; in which
more than 40 different tribes or
nationalities, speaking over hun
drcd and eighty different tongues
and dialects and confessing nine diff
ferent religions, are jumbled to-
gcther in formless and inextricable
mosaic and subdivided again into
something like 2,4OO castles, each
caste a distinctive, exclusive, sepa-
rate entity; in which three-fourths
of the people live by the land and
nineteen-twen'' eths of them are
wholly illiterate; in which faiths,
usages, habits and customs are pre-
served with jealousy and intensity
far beyond the range of occidental
experience; and in which power is
held, government administered,
justice dispensed and progress fur
thered under the authority and di-
rection of handful of rulers sum-
moned from a distant northern
island to guide the destinies of one
fifth of the human race.-North

OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN.

It is estimated that the census Of
1910 will show that the United
States has a school population of at
least 14,OOO,OOO. The school army
ten years ago was 13,367,147. OF
that number 4,266,3O2 were between
the ages of five and nine, and $685.
1914 ranged from nine to fourteen.
About 10 per cent. of the whole
number were from Is to ~ years
old, and about five per cent. we're 10
years of age or upward. OF all the
children between five and nine re-
ported in the census of 1900 only
about one-half regularly attended
school; of those from nine to four
teen, four-fifths attended, and Of
those from Ia to II a little more
than two-ffths.-Chicago Examiner.

BREWING THE CUP.

Miss Mayne, the tea faster, says
that more than 500 different varie-
ties of tea are imported from China
alone. From Ceylon and India come
from hundred more. Japan sends
us 100. The varieties give 1000 diff
ferent flavors of tea. Here is the
way she makes tea: The water must
be freshly boiled or it will not bring
out the delicate flavor of the tea. 1t
must be more than steaming-
|. it must boil furiously at the moment
it is poured on the leaves. The wa
ter should remain on the leaves not
more than ten minutes and not less
than seven. The infusion should
then be poured off into another
heated vessel. If allowed to stand
on the leaves it draws out the tan
min. Use one spoonful for each cup
of water. Tea should make from
200 to 800 cups to the pound.

HEARD DICKENS LAST WORDS
Miss Hosarth. Now "a Years Old, Was
at the Deathbsd Of Great Eng
iish Novelist.

The most interesting person at the
recent Dickens bazaar at Caxtor
hall, in London, England, was Miss
Georgina Hogarth. Miss Hogarth
is 81. She was a child when she
went to live .uDder the roof of her
brother-in-lav', Charles Dickens, and
she remained a member of his house.
hold till the final summons came to
the great novelist. She was with him
when he was struck down. His last
words we're, "On the ground" She
alone heard them.
1t is generally supposed that Miss
Hogarth was in Dickens mind when
he jotted down in his notebook the
following outline Of character
for future use: "She-sacrificed to
children, and sufficiently rewarded.
From . child herself, always the
children (of somebody else) to en-
gross her. And so it comes to pass
that she is never married; never
herself has a child; is also devoted
to the children (of somebody else) ;
and they love her; and she has al
ways youth dependent on her till her
death-and dies quite happily"

SCALES THAT CHEAT.

Our attention, says the New York
Times, has been called to an un-
usual form of cheating consumers
by computing scales. The cheat is
not in the weights of the machine,
but in the arrangement whereby it
automatically calculates the price of
the purchase. Coffee at 80 cents a
pound registers at two cents an
ounce, but featherweight above
the pound would register as two
cents extra. The dealer gains on
the fraction Of weight, according to
the advertisers of the device, three
per cent. above the understood
price.
But this is only one Of a variety
of cheats by small dealers through
which, according to the report this
year by the superintendent Of
weights and measures, the public of
this state loses at least 5000 900
annually.

sEwED UP FOR THE WINTER
Good Reason Why Boy Didn't Desire
to Interfere with Mothers
Arrangements.

Miss Elizabeth c. Sprague, who
teaches in the Chicago public schools,
attempted the role of missionary to
the grimy boys in her charge.
There is a shower bath in the
basement of the school building and
Miss Sprague endeavored to induce
some of the dirtiest pupils to make
acquaintance with it.
She was pleased when one of the
boys expressed desire to try the
experiment. The janitor told the
rest of the story to the teacher.
"Say, that boy You sent down
here wanted to take bath and l
fixed things for him. Pretty soon he
stuck his head out of the room and
said he couldn't get off his clothes.
why can't you?' I said to him.
MY mother sewcd them on when

he. Why did she do that?' I asked
him. $50 l wouldn't catch cold,' he
told me. l ripped out the stitches
and he took the bath. Then he
called me again. will you sew

asked him. $50 my mother won't
