To Kill Bull Thistles.

Bull thistles, common in pastures,
cannot always be killed by moving.
Moving tends to prevent maturity OF
seed. Cutting off the thistles below
the surface of the ground two or three

DANGERS THAT LURK
IN THE HANDKERCHIEF

Did you ever think what 4 tempta-
tion it is to pick up dainty hand
kerchief lying on the walk, or in the
street2 Many have done it, and then
have wondered why their children
have come down With scarlet fever or
other diseases without having been
exposed. The handkerchief is one OF
the most efficient carriers. To pick
up handkerchief lying in the street
dust is as dangerous as to handle a
poisonous reptile.
If your own handkerchief drops in
the street do not pick it up unless
you have another in which TO wrap il
immediately and carry it home to be
put in the small pail of disinfect-
ant which every good houSekeeper
has on hand. The street dust is alive
with bacteria and germs of all kinds,
typhoid, diphtheria, spinal meningitis
and scarlet fever are floating about
because of eareleSSneSs on the part OF
such persons as do not use precaution-
airy measures to prevent the spread Of
disease.
Countless deaths can be traced K
the innocent handkerchief which
some one has picked up and carries
home.

Doesn't KNOW Her Ace

There is glazing phase of unfair
ness in the position of the two sexes,
despite all our struggles for the suf-
frage. A woman still breads to tell
her age, no matter how youthful she
may look, while as long as man
looks youthful he is generally willing
to admit and even to boast of how
many milestones he has passed. There
is at least one father who understood
this problem in time and who gave
his daughter a fair chance in life by
never letting her know how old she
was. He realized at her birth that a
time would come when she would not
want to tell her age, and he spared her
the humiliation of having to prevari-
cate, so she was never told either her
age or the place where she was born,
and there were no birth records pre-
served IN the family.-New. York

Wausau People are making a gala
event of Nine. Schuman-TIeink's
appearance at the opera house
Thursday evening, April u, and indi-
cations are that full house will greet
the great diva The boxes are being
rapidly subscribed for and Wausau
society people will make this real
social event. One of the special
features of Nine. Schuman-Heink's
concerts is her programme. In addi-
ton to her operatic numbers she
always gives q generous array of songs
by American composers. She is an
ardent admireI of the gifted American
composers. A recent interview with
her disclosed the following on her
opinion of 1.-THE Rosary - that beauti-
full song so familiar to every one:
"A young woman from st. Louis,
who is now studying for grand opera
in Berlin, came to sing for me. She
had beautiful big contralto voice,
and when she sang The Rosary L
was swept off my feet. l got the song
at once, studied it and began to sing
it in concert.

while they had tea. There were none

Tearing a Proverb to Eaters.

One of our correspondents, to whom
so far as we can remember we never
did any injury, sends us the following:
Carlyle said that genius is an in
finite capacity for taking pains. We
venture to think this definition appro-
pirate to a clerk.
But in a doctor genius is an inf
mite capacity for shaking pains.
In a commercial traveller, for taking
trains.
In a literary man, for raking brains.
In a sanitary engineer, for making
drains.
And in Don Juan, forsaking
James.

Consolation.

A little girl of thirteen or so found
herself one day possessed of a new
emotion-a desire to be pretty. She
struggled with it, but finally went 20
the long mirror in the hall and for tie
first tlue in her life looked at herself
critically from head to foot. She saw
what most girls see at thirteen-a
lanky creature, mostly legs and arms,
hands and feet. 1t hurt her, and she
went out of doors to think it over.
Thought resulted in tears. and in tears
she was found half an hour later by
her particular chum, a boy near her
own age. Anxious inquiry as to why
she was crying induced her to speak.

The term eating crow" comes from
an nte-Revolutionary story. A soldier
Of an English regiment stationed in
Virginia shot pet crow belonging to a
farmer. The latter entered a COM
plant with the colonel. who sentenced
the soldier to eat the crow. The farm
er was left alone with the soldier to
see that he did it. After the soldier
had consumed a portion Of the bird
he took his gun, presented it at the
farmer and told him to eat the re-
mainder Of the crow or he would shoot
him. This was the origin Of the eat
ing crow story.

Then comes silence that grows tenser
and tenser. | can see and feel on
every face before me that what is in
my heart is in theirs, and we are both
swept along in artistic transport to
that anguished cry for a happiness
that has escaped us. 1t is song to
wake an echo in every heart that has
suffered the pain of loss; and what
human heart is without that wounds?
IF you study the melodic outline of
the song, it may surprise you to dis
cover the connection that exists
between the poets imagery and the
musical form. All of us do not tell
our beads as the saying is, but we
know that The Rosary is a string of
small beads, with larger bead strung
between each set of ten smaller ones.
Now notice the composers phrase,
how it slips along in eight notes, just
as the beads would slip through your
fingers. This is repeated over and
over after the manner of the pious
devotees of the rosary, Now observe
the melodic outline Of the climax on
the line TO kiss the cross-Sweet-
heart-tO kiss the cross The first
part is sung on one note-the voice
goes up and then down on the word
Sweetheart, and the concluding
phrase is sung on one note as was the
beginning. The composer has actually
made the sign of the cross in his
notation to convey the idea Of the
crucifix, which the devotee of the
rosary kisses in concluding his devo-
ton.
II had sung the song a great deal
before l noticed this, and l have often
wondered since, how many of those
who hear the song are conscious Of it. ;"
