The Expense of a Wife.

A wife is a decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense, however sensible and managing she may be, she is expensive. But everything worth having has it's price of one sort or another, and there are some things which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that it is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- venience."

1haekeray's Satira.

Thackeray created quite erroneous Impressions of himself by often indulg- ing in irony in the presence of people who were incapable of understanding 1t. One curious in>' lnce which he gave was this: Thackeruy had been dining at the Garrick and was talking in the smoking room after dinner with vari- ouS club acquautanceS One of them happening to have left his cigar case at home. ThaCkeray. though diSliking the man. who was Il notorious tuft hunter. good naturedly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar, but, not finding it to his liking. had the bad taste to say to Thackeray. T say. Thackeray. you won't mind my saying l don't think much of this cigar: Thrckcray. no doubt irritatcd at the mans ungraciousness and bear ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec- tons. quietly responded, You ought to, my good fellow, for It was given me by q lord" Instead. however, of detecting the irony, the dolt immedi- ately attributed the remark to snob- bishness on Thackeray's part and to the end of his days went about declar- ing that "Thackeray had boasted that he had been given cigar by a lord"

TIE sc0LD's BRIDLE.
Brutal Punishment to Which Women
 Were Once Subjected.

The prank, or scolds bridle, or gos- sips bridle, was neither more nor less than a muzzle. It was in general use in Great Britain from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and in Scot land as well women were muZzled for certain offenses, some at least of them more imaginary than real. The instru- ment of torture, even a dogs leather muzzle, is uncomfortable. How much more the scold's muzzle! It consisted, according to high authority, MT. w. levitt, of kind of crown or frame
 work of iron. which was locked upon the head, and it was armed in front with gag, plate or sharp cutting knife or point, which was placed in the poor Woman's mouth so as to prevent her moving her tongue, or it was so placed that if she did move 1t or at- frightful manner. With this cage up. on her head and with the gag firmly pressed and locked against her tongue the miserable creature, whose sole of
 fending perhaps was that she raised her voice in defense of her social rights against a brutal and besotted husband or had spoken honest truth of some one high in office in her town, was paraded through the streets, led by chain by the hand of bellman, the beadle or the constable or chained to the pillory, the whipping post or market cross. to be subjected to every conceivable insult and degradation, without even the power left her of asking for mercy or of promising amendment for the future, and when the punishment was over she was turned out from the town hall or the place where the brutal punishment had been inflicted, maimed, disfgured, bleeding, faint and degraded, to be the subject of comment and jeering among her eighbors.-London Family Her.

colors of the Stars.

Although there is no relation ap- parent betwen the two phenomena, yet it is interesting to recall the fact that among the stars certain colors ap- pear to characterize different stages of change, or evolution. Red stars, ac- cording to the testimony of the spec troscope, differ widely in their consti- tuition from white or yellow ones. and it has been thought that varying col ors may give a clew to progressive changes in the heavenly bodies. Sirius, for instance, is said to have changed from red to white, and some have sus- pected that Arcturus is fading from red toward yellow.

Edmund Kean was playing in "Rich- ard Ill.," and the part of Catesby had to be taken by low comedian, who sauntered on to the stage at the wrong moment and uttered the famous words, My lord. the Duke of Buck ingham is taken" in the wrong place.
 Edmund clinched his fists in rage. but otherwise took no notice of the re- mark.
 Later the comedian repeated the words in the right place. and when the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded his arms, walked boldly down the stage and remarked to the great actor in loud tones:

Kafirs, North American Indians and the fat boy in "Pickwick" may well be quoted as fearful examples of vo- racity, but even their grastronomic feats are exceeded by the full grown Eskimo, who will daily eat twenty pounds of flesh and oil if he has the chance, while on the authority of Ad- miral Saritcheff a Yakut of Siberia has been known to consume in twenty-four hours "the hind quarter of large OK. twenty pounds of fat and a quantity of melted butter for his drink"

The severe weather does not seem
to keep Bismarcks theatre goers from
the pleasure of seeing the all star bill

don't get out tonight.
Messrs. Temple and Miller announce
the engagement Of the verona Trio
to open Sunday. This Is the, most
costly vaudeville act ever presented
in Bismarck, and their advance no.
tees indicate that they are we'll worth
the money, and lovers of good music
are assured Of a treat.
There will be a children's matinee
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, to
which children under eight years old.
will be admitted free. Children over

ct will illuminate the eastern sky,
an arc of light, plainly visible. PEG.
pie all over the world will marvel, In
fluenced by something Of the awe OF
their ancestors who, when they be-
held the great hairy star" thought
that it was q menace sent by God to
warn. them of their sins-an awe that
in many people, science has failed to
dispel.
In 1862, HALEY, the London astron'
omer, declared that the comet bear
ing his name would return in 1859.
When the comet appeared at that
time, as predicted, Halley's statement
that it travelled in an orbit, was, con-
firmed. Particular interest attaches
to Haley's comet because it is the
first one to reappear. Prior to the
time Of HALEY, comets were sup
posed to be only occasional visitors,
but by calculating that the comet
travelled in closed curve it would re-
turn to the solar system at intervals
of about seventy-five years. In 1885
the comet was only about half as
large, and as brilliant as in 1859.
Some scientists claim there is dan
ger to mortals from the gases in the
tail Of the comet which will envelop
the earth for at least two days, hut
a majority say the comet will not get
close enough to cause this.

INDICTMENT AGAINST
NATIONAL PACKING co.
:ES Associated Press,

New York, Feb. 1S.-Prosecutor
Garvin said tonight that acting upon
his recommendation, the Hudson
county grand jury of New
Jersey had instructed him to draw
upon the form of an indictment
against the National Packing COM
pany and its directors. The grand
jury, he said had positive evidence
that food products have in some in
stances been kept In cold storage for
seven years.
It was stated here tonight with
much positiveness that the National
Packing company had already been
indicted. Prosecutor Garvin's state.
ment, although technically denial,
forecasts such action in the near fu-
ture and it is understood that the
indictmen when finally presented
was probably before conspiracy in
restraint Of trade as the court in
structed the jury it might find in his
charge.
Hudson county grand jury has been
investigating Affiliations of the rail-
roads and the western packers with
cold storage houses In Jersey City.
Any indictment found, Mr.. Garvin
said tonight would be broad enough
to cover every detail of the case in
which he thought the chance Of a
conviction possible. In his belief
the best proof of a conspiracy to re-
strain trade lay in the minutes Of
the National Packing company, which
he had in his possession and which
had been read to the grand jury.

SIMPSON Makes
SERIOUS charge

Boston, Mass, Feb. 18.-SensatiOn-
al charges against the executors and
the attorneys for the Daniel Russell
estate were made by Senator Simpson,
counsel for the claimant, at the iden.
tity hearing this morning.
In his cross examination Of Ferdi-
nand B. Almy, and in statements made
in open court, Mr.. Simpson alleged
Encouragement of the funds, use OF
the estate by the executors in de-
fiance of the injunction issued by the
Massachusetts, court last summer, and
naturalization in the inventory filed
with the probate court.
Mr.. Simpson also alleged that two
years ago, before the claimant had
been heard Of here, detectives were
sent out to his ranch in the Bad aLnds
to SPY upon him.
Every allegation Of wrong doing was
emphatfcally denied by Mr.. Amy
Judge Lawton excluded many Of the
questions asked by Attorney Simpson
in the course Of his probing and order.
ed stricken from the records several
of his assertions regarding the coun-
gel and the respondents.
Simpson drew from Amy this fore
noon the admission that he had no
money when he came to Melrose IN
1894 and that Lawyer Eugene Upton
owns 81 per cent Of Almv's present
business. The witness, when prodd-
ed as to his attitude toward the claim
ant, declared with force:
"As long as Willim C. Russell and
I are executors of the Russell estate
none but the right man will ever be
recognized"

Three PER CENT MONEY
FOR THE farmers NOW

Spokane, WASH, Feb. 1S.-'Since
we cannot raise cheap food on dear
money, we have launched campaign
to force an amendment to the postals
saving bank bill so that money may
be loaned direct to farmers on land
security at 3 per cent. The plan Of
lending it to banks at 2 3-4 per cent
means 10 per cent money to farm
ers."
L. c.. Grow, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Farmrs' Indus
trial and Cooperative Union, which
has more than 10000 members in the
Spokane country, gave out the fore
going in an interview after dispatch
ing telegrams to the Northwestern
delegation in congress urging an
amendment to the measure. He ad-
ded:
"Our demand is merely that the
farmers and producers be given a
square deal by the government. This
will afford them the opportunity of
making their farms attractive and
profitable. One of the chief things
to make the farm source of profit
is cheap money for the use of the
farmer. NO man can run a farm at
profit and pay 10 per cent for mon
ey, Prevailing rates Of interest paid
by the farmer would bankrupt any
other class of business and these
will eventually bankrupt the farmer,
even in this wonderful country of al
most unlimited undeveloped re-
sources.
Zone Of the principal reforms we
hope to bring about by the use of
cheaper money is to solve the tenant
problem. Tenant farming means
thriftless methods soil exhaustion
and the waste of natural and human
energy and resources. The farm
must be made sufficiently attractive
that its owner will remain on it and
farm it for himself.
