A LIBERTY WITH time.
Casts'ars Interrupted Lecture In the
University Of Madrid,

castsIar's Interrupted Lecture In the
University Of Madrid.
In Home Life In Spain" Is a fine
story Of the University Of Madrid,
which once had among its professors
that Senior Castelar, who was for a
time president Of the short lived Span
ish republic. But when Alfonso XII.
was brought to Madrid after the fall
OF the republic Castelar,, with his COM
panions, was exiled.
Some years sfterward an amnesty
was proclaimed, and CASTELAR, returned
In triumph to Madrid to resume his
Office In the university. A vast gather
ing attended to hear his first lecture,
and the greatest orator in all Spain
mounted the rostrum, looked imper.
turbably at the sea Of eager faces sur
rounding him and began, "As I was
saying yesterday" Como decia ayer).
Between that yesterday and this
day he had fought the battle Of the
fallen republic and had known the Bit
terness Of years in exile. All memory
or this, however poignant in the heart
Of CASTELAR,, had passed from the pro-
lessor Of Madcid's university, and he
continued his lecture at the very point
at which it had been broken OF.

A largely attended and very enthu-

There were present at the meeting
doctors, automobile dealers, livery
men. merchants, wholesalers, in fact
nearly every industry in the city was
represented. The proposition which
was favorably considered was the op-

Missouri river just south of the

The Dollar.

There was time when dollars were
minted in England. In March, 1907,
the mint issued stamped Spanish dol
lars worth As. 3d.. but they were called
in seven months later. 1t was from
the Spanish coin that America got the
idea Of her almighty dollar, but the
name was made in Germany. At least
'thaler," Of which dollar IS corrup-
tion, was. The original thaler was the
silver guldengroschen, coined in 1918
by order Of Count Schlick from the sill
yer Of Joachimsthal, IN Bohemia, and
known at first as the "Joachimsthaler."
Thus the name means etymologically

intended to have q man in charge of
the ferry at all times and that~it be
operated at any hour of the day or
night.
The plan that was adopted was the
organization of a stock company and
the Commercial club stands as spon.
sor for the movement However, the
ferry will not be a money making
proposition entirely. The rate of
transportation will be kept as low as
possible and still pay fair rate of
interest on the capital invested.
What the members of the CONNER
cfal club want is the trade from the
surrounding towns and country. The
ferry across the river would add con.
siderably to the trade in this city.
Bismarck is rapidly growing and be-
coming one of the leading cities of
the state. A wholesome and steady
growth of business is an essential and
this Is assisted materially by having
some communication with the other
side of the river. While the North
ern Pacific has been doing transfer
work by train, the officials of the
road are heartily in favor with the
ferry proposition and feel that it will
mean much to the city.

Stories Of the Paris courte,

Among humorous stories Of the Par.
s law courts it is told how a well
known lawyer, NJ. Alem Rousseau,
was once pleading IL rather tiresome
ease and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, AS
the president is falling asleep l sus-
pend my speech" But the judge had
just woke up and cried, And sus-
pend you from ,practicing for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, suspend myself
forever and ever," and, gathering up
his brief aud cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and, dealing tre-
mendous blow on the desk in front Of
him that woke everybody up with
start, he cried, YESTERDAY at this same
hour l was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other if they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The sane counsel was pleading ut
Versailles on a cold day and remarked
that the Judges were all turning more
and more around toward stove that
gave out a welcome heat. "The tribu-
nal behind which l have the honor Of
speaking brought them all right about

The Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair is named after &C.
dan, the town where it was first used.
The earliest mention of it in England
occurs in 1881. Early in the following
century the Duke of Buckingham
caused much indignation by its use in
London. People were exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place Of horses to car
~ him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1923 three curiously wrought
sedans, two of which he gave to the
Duke Of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their Introduction Massinger pro-
duced his play, 'The Bondman," and
in it he thus adverts to the ladies':
For their pomp and care being borne
In triumph on mems shoulders.
The reference is doubtless to Buck.

JAPANESE TREATY
~ Associated Press.)
CONTINUED from page l.

leges which America now enjoys under
the treaty of 1894. Hence the Japan
csc government has been using every
effort to induce the state department to
follow the example of the great Euro
pean nations and consent to an imme-
date revision of the treaty. The de-
partment has delayed doing so princi-
pally for the reason that it desired to
await the conclusion of all the treaties
which Japan is making with other pow
ers, in order to make certain of Sc
curing for America any advantage ex-
tended to other peoples.
The radical difference between this
new treaty and the one now in force
and one which may prove ohIioxlous to
the western senators, is understood to
be the omission of any reference to the
immigration question. The two govern
ments have enjoyed undeniable right to
legislate regarding immigration rather
by restriction or by total exclusion of
coolie labor. Unquestonably, the
United States government could do this
without any treaty stipulation on the
subject. just as it did in the case of
China when it enacted the China exclt,-
SION laws. 1t is understood that there
is no disposition on the part of the
japanese to deny the extension of such
power: What they do object to is the
inclusion in formal treaty to which
thew are party of stipulation as
serting that right, which is not en-
bodied in any treaty America has made
with European powers and which
serves only as an irritant to Japanese
pride. In other words, the consumma-
ton of the new treaty would be trib-
ute to the advanced position which
Japan has taken among the nations
without in any degree curtailing the
power of the United States government
to regulate immigration BY legislation |

PAPER.
From time immemorial it has been
the tradition of the medical profess
sion that communications of patients
to their physicians are held sacred
and confidential, and it is the duty of
every physician to refuse to divulge
the details of sickness or treatment
OF any particular patient, without the
patients consent.
So we'll is this understood that
courts of law place the communica.
the same category with the confess
sion Of penitent to his priest or the
confidence bestowed on lawyer by
his client. A physician is not allowed
to testify in court in regard to priv.
ileged communications from his pa.
tents.
If a physician should undertake to
use photographs of patient on an
operating table for advertising pur.
poses, he would not only be liable for
damages to the patient but would lose
his standing as reputable member
OF his profession.
1t appears to me that it would be
calamity and menace to medical !
progress i, in addition to the natural
fear and dread that some patients
have of surgical operations, there |
should be added the uncalled for pub J
licity entailed by spreading abroad |
photographs Of the operation.

Havana, Feb. 21.-Prcsident Alfredo
Zayas has determined that there shall
be no serious halt in the work of rails
ing the ill-fated United States warship
Maine from the muddy harbor bottom,
even if the United States government
fails to provide sufficient money. The
reports that the United States would
not advance any further funds for the
work has aroused Zayas to such an
exten that he has determined to have
the Cuban government make up any de-
ficit. Zayas says it is of the utmost
importance to Cuba, the United States
and to the world at large to have the
wreck raised in order to determine
whether the ship was blown up from
the outside or the inside; also he wants
the harbor cleared Of the dangerous OBJ
struction to marine traffic. Zayas is
willing to pledge the credit of Cuba for
at least half million dollars to further
the work. The progress of the work
of building the big cofferdams around
the wreck is we'll shown in the accom-
panying illustration.

Husbands Beat Each Of Their Wives
With q Different Club.
The marriage customs Of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
Of many other savage races. The Ger.
emory is largely matter Of purchase.
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years Of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier.
When a young lake man desires to
get married he visits the father of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as an induce
ment to the father to consent to the
union.
If man has gun he is great per-
sonage and can demand anything, but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears most of the the Papuans have
very little. Even agricultural produce
1s scarce, the only cultivation under
taken being on very primitive scale.
A little clearing is made by both:
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women 60 to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men 60 with them as a protection.
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have bundle Of an
dent Portuguese cloth centuries old,
and when young man IL seeking a
bride one Of these heirlooms is gener-
ally part of the deal. The youth and
the girls father haggle over the mar
riage until eventually they agree to
terms, and then the thing Is done.
The men are not limited to one wife,
and once girl is married she is sub
ject to her husband in everything and
10 practically his slave.

There are 40 better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers of the
Italian army, yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat achieved by one Of them. To
run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough. but to run ut full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand spoon on which rests an egg
and 10 reach the goal without dropping
the egg is a feat which must be prac-
ticed carefully long time before it
can be performed successfully, and as
result there are not many who can
be sure Of accomplishing It whenever
they try. Great, therefore, was the
surprise when an italian officer mount
ed on horseback performed this diff.
cult feat. Moreover, he selected
course in which there were two or
three high fences, and these he cleared
1t full gallop without losing the egg.

Taught to Perform Tricks.
'The cardinal principle In training
animals" says an animal trainer, lis
not to attempt to make an animal do
anything contrary to the nature Of it's
particular species. To be successful a
trainer must know enough about the
habits of the animals he has under
training to fit the tricks he would teach
them to their natural bent.
"The seal is very easily taught. You
begin with one seal, some small pieces
Of fish and string. You let the seal
sit on his pedestal, something he likes
to do by nature; then you throw him
one Of the pieces of fish, and he natu-
rally and easily catches It: Next you
tie a piece Of Hsh Oh the end Of your
string and swing 1t toward the seal.
He catches this, too, and you keep
moving away from him and swinging
the fish to him from an increasing dis
tango. Now you are ready to begin
with the hat Or cof1dcopla. You put q
piece of fish in the bottom Of It and
toss It to the seal. The seal is dex-
ferrous by nature, and his nose, quickly
detecting the 6sh In The tip Of the
cone, seeks it ept: The cone catches on
his Shout, and he bites out the fish and
losses the cone aside. Before long he
comes to associate the cone with fish,

fails to find what he wants.

The SOUP PLATE.
A Seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why Il Was Invented.

A Seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why Il Was Invented.
A valet of Louis XIV. published a
cookbook in 1866 In which he gives al
follows the reason for the invention of
the hollow soup plate:
The plates of the guests will be hol-
low in order that they may help them
selves to as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take 1t
spoonful by spoonful because Of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon go from the mouth
to the tureen.
Guests, it will be seen, used their
own spoons to fill their plates, the
large spoon to be used for serving the
soup not being invented till some time
later.
Yet even hundred years after the
invention of the soup plate Q749) q
work on civility advised that all the
dishes should be SO placed on the table
that every one could reach them with
his spoon and that if the soup was
served in dish (tureen) every one
should help himself with his own
spoon without seeming to be in a hurry.
A work on manners that appeared
Just before the French revolution
deemed 1t best to advise its readers
that it was impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth and
the tureen.
