HEART THROB CASES.
CHiCAGO'S COURT FOR

Chicago, Dec. THE court for
heart throb cases created in Chicago
is officially one to dispose OF cases of
these classes: Breach of Promise,
abandonment, child delinquency, ne
glect of children, wife beaters," and
related complaints. There is where
love and pathos intermingle in the
recital of marital differences and
perennial apathy. Club women and
settlement workers We're active in the
formation of the new court For
several months these women have
petitioned Chief Justice Harry Olson
Of the Municipal Court for special
court to deal chiefly with love, pa
thos and marital troubles. 1t was de-
cided at a meeting of the judges Of
the Municipal court to create the do
nestle relations branch Now a
search is being made for the right
Judge to sit and hear the cases. Jus
tice Olson said last night that as
soon as he found a judge that could
settle such ticklish questions a lit
tie better than his associates, he
would assign that judge to this new
court.

upon a sacred picture. Aihand-

for the head Of st. Mark, but when

MIspOM From TIE TALMUO
The Fourteen Hard Things Of Life Put
Together in Poetieal Phras-
inp

There are fourteen hard things,
each one harder than the other, and
each one struggles for mastery over
the rest
The deep sea is an object Of dread,
but the land keeps it within narrow
bounds. The open land is unyicld-
ing, but the mountains rise above it.
The mountains seem irresistible, but
iron proudly cleaves them asunder.
Iron is hard. but fire fuses it. Fire
is a fierce tyrant; water subdues and
cxtinguishes it. Water is difficult to
restrain, but the clouds easily carry
it aloft. Clouds are beyond control,
but the storm disperses them. The
storm RACES nightly, yet the wall
braves it. The wall forms a strong
barrier, vet man can break it down.
Man seems inhexible, hut trouble
laws him PROSTATE. Trouble APP
pears insurmountable: wine dispcls
it and causes it to be forgotten; but
the pleasures OF wine fade before
illness. and illness Itself is ended by
the angel of death. who carries the
soul away. But more ungoyernable
than any other evil is a bad wife =

WHITE MAN IN THE TROPICS.

When completed the Panama ca
nal will be the greatest physical tri-
umph in the history Of the human
race.
DR.. William c. Gorgas in a recent
report shows that the annual death
rate Of over 5000 white Americans
connected with the commission was
four in 1000, while by comparison
the death rate in population such
as New York wonld be fifteen in
1000. He may well claim that such
a mortality ratio as this among
North Americans living at Panama
demonstrates a sanitary revolution
showing what can be done in the
triples by special care and special
effort by population entirely IN

VIPER KILLERS ON STRIKE.

Odd as the London music hall
strike may seem there is an even
odder ono in Switzerland, in the
canton OF Geneva. Some parts Of
the canton are infested with yipers,
so much SO that viper killing is a
regular calling and is followed by
a considerable number of persons.
A reward of one franc for every
viper killed used to be given by the
department Of Justice and police,
which ma, these reptiles i'm charge,
but lately the department lowered
the reward to 80 ccntimes. But the
viper killers objected, as they truly
said that their calling had got no
less dangerous, and 50 they went
out on strike. As long as the dis

CALLS FOR EXTREME SKILL
Art Of the Lspidary Is One Of the
Highest Known In Mechanical
Employments.

The art of the lapidary is one Of
the most delicate employments of
mechanical force known. The prac-
teal diamond cutter learns many
facts about precious stones which
are sealed books even to mineralo-
gists.
For instance, it is the lapidaries
who have found out that diamonds
coming from different districts very
remarkably in their degrees of hard
ness. 1t appears that the hardest
diamonds known come from New
South Wales.
An unfamiliar fact is that dia-
monds are made to assume approx
mately the required shape by Sitting
and cleaving and by "bruting," y
which is the rubbing of one diamond
against another, before they are sub
mitted to- the polishing wheel
In cleaving the diamond is &C.
mented on the end of a wooden stick
and a steel blade is driven with a
smart blow in the direction of the
natural plane Of cleavage. Dia-
monds that have been cut by the lap
idary's wheel lack some of the bril-
lance possessed by those that have
simply been cleaved.
