ALWAYS FOUGHT LIKE CATS.
Yet SnarIing lbsen and 5jornson Could
Not Keen Apart.

Edmund Gosse In his Two Visits
to Denmark tells Of how be heard.
through Christian Molbech, OF the an
tagonism between Ibsen and Bjornson.
1t was In their younger days at Rome,
and Ibsen, poor and obscure, INDUCED
his naturally sullen temper to the ut
most. Later he became quite q dandy
In appearance, but at this time. In the
sixties, he wore q long black beard
and possessed but one coat shabby
and green.
He used, related Professor Molbech.
to keep morosely TO himself In the
Scandinavian club at Rome until sup
per time. then, emptying his bottle
OF wine. he would brighten, not into
geniality-for that would have been
impossible-but into sarcastic loquac-
ity. And let BJornson appear and a
storm was at hand.
"Oh." said Molbech, ito be In Rome
with Ibsen and Bjornson together, my
dear young friend, Ii was a weary,
weary thingl They could not keep
apart They were like two tomcats
parading and snarling and swearing at
each other, yet each bored to death II
the other were not present. They
collected their adherents behind them.
There were two well defined parties.
Il assure you. II 1t amused the Nor
wegians, IL was death to US easy going
Danes and Swedes. At last Bjornson
took himself of. oh, what a sigh OF
relief we gave! And Ibsen came into
the club, glanced around and snarled.
and there was no one to snari back at
him. Then followed the publication Of
Brand, and money came In. and Ibsen
grew to be a celebrated character. So
he smiled and stretched out his legs
and was quiet. But agreeable? Oh.
not
"Let us use words In their true sense
Ibsen has been an agreeable
man, and he never will be. But he IL
a great genius and a very honest per
SON."

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

If silver is to be stored away for
some time, pack it in dry flour; it
will remain untarnished.
To be absolutely sure that a EAR
bolic solution will not burn, use one
part acid to -wenty part water.
Before scaling fish you should dip
them in boiling water for a moment;
they will scale more easily.
If the tip Of shoe laces pull off,
twist the ends of the string and dip
into glue. They are as good as when
new.
When the cream is too thin to whip
add the unbeaten white Of an egg.
You will have no trouble whipping
the cream.
The edge Of a silence cloth should
be finished with a buttonhole stitch,
not too close. A hem makes a ridge
under the tablecloth.
When filling the gem pans with
batter, leave one Of the cups empty
and fill it with water. The gems will
brown nicely without burning.
In heating the oven, the draughts
should be closed when the coal is we'll
started. In a word to save fuel plan
ahead and then watch the draughts.
Rust can be removed from steel
by covering it with sweet oil for a
day; then rub with a lump Of fresh
lime and polish in the ordinary way.
For a creaking door, rub the edges
with soap, and then with the addi-
ton Of a few drops Of oil on the him
ges, the nuisance will be remedied.
Cranberries can be kept fresh in
definitely If put in a jar and filled
up with cold water. Place a lid on
lightly and change water every day
or two.
Colored stockings should be washed
in a suds Of warm water and soap.
Rinse thoroughly and wiring very dry.
then hang them in the shade to dry.
A bruise should be bathed immedi-
ately and freely with very hot wa
ter. The congestion will then be re-
lieved and no ugly di~scoloration will
follow.
Window shades that have been
cracked can be renovated in the fol-
lowing way; Lay the shades flat on
the floor and paint them with or
binary oil paint.
Sprinkle salt on the tablecloth when
wine has been spilled. When the
cloth has been removed pour boiling
water through the stain until it has
disappeared.

Quick Measurements

A traveller was detained at q little
country railroad station In England
for half an hour and was chatting with
the station master when the bell rang

a line on the platform and stood at at

with a single saloon car slowed up.
The solitary occupant Of the a re-
garded the men sharply from the win

PAID TO THINK AHEAD"
The Part Imagination Plays In the
Business World.

0uSineSS Wori0s
There is a man In an office In New
York whose business 1t is to think
ahead on behalf OF the community and
prepare for coming events. writes +.
Sharper Knowlton In the Century. dis
cusSing 1.-The Uses Of Imagination In
Business" He sits at a big table, and
before him is a map Of New York with
its e~nvirons by land and sea The
problem Is to determine what shipping
accommodation will be required In the
future and to begin the work or con
struction now. During the last centu-
~ the story was one Of growth,
growth, growth, and the story is, to be
continued HowI That is the ques-

whatever bis official title may be, l
shall call him acting professor OF i'm
agtnadon to the shipping interests OF
New York.
In every progressive house Of bust
ness there is or ought to be a similar
officer. Generally he Is the principal
himself. That is one reason why he d.
vides his business into departments
and pays men high salaries to superin-

BRIGHT's DISEASE.
Faulty Living Is the Cause OF "the
MaIady Of Civilization"


Bright's disease has been called "the
malady of civilization" and the name
is not unmerited. 1t Is beyond every
thing else a disease Of civilized white
men, and It Is due almost entirely to
those habits Of life which distinguish
the white man from the savage Of the
Jungle. Nine times out Of ten II Is the
result, more or less direct, Of disorders
Of the digestive tract, and nine times
out of ten these disorders are due to
too much eating and drinking, too much
bending over desks and too little fresh
air.
The savage lives in the open, eats
simple foods, knows nothing Of whisky
and gets plenty Of sleep and exercise.
AS q result he has q good digestion. a
clear eye and good red blood in his
veins. But the civilized white man
eats rich food, made a~ppetizing by
stimulating condiments; braces him
self with alcohol, lives In stuffy houses.
In filthy. smoky cities and never walks
when he can ride. The result IL that
his stomach fails In its duties; his kid
neys. inundated by poisons, 90 to pieces
and he dies from Bright's disease
Sometimes the trouble starts In the
kidneys themselves-as, for instance.
when they are crippled by alcohol
and sometimes 1t starts In the stomach
or elsewhere. But in any case the blame
lies with faulty methods Of living. and
It Is the kidneys that suffer the final
damage. And when they falter or fail
in their business the body fills up with
poisons and death is not far away.
Bright's disease, In fact, may be called
autopoisoning. Its victim dies Of poi
sons generated within his own body

MRS. BRUCE ISMAY AIDS
TITANIC SUFFERERS
American Women Abandon Pleasure
and Entertainment and Personally
Relieve Distress.

London, Oct. 2.-Since the Titanic
disaster Mrs. Bruce Ismay and her
sister who are the daughters of
George Schieffelin Of New York, have
abandoned everything like pleasure
seeking or entertaining. All the time
they have been able to spare from
their own domestic obligations has
been devoted to an Investigation of
the needs Of those who suffered
through the loss Of the Inflated
steamer.
They were not content with the
knowledge that a huge sum Of money
had beer subscribed by the philan-
thropic public; they decided to see
II ings with their own eyes and per-
sonally to relieve distress.
A list of everyone in Liverpool
and a district who had suffered in
any way was made out for them. and
in cases where they were not able
to call themselves they sen a res
ponsible representative with sufi-
cient relief to meet immediate needs.
They also SEN a special investiga-
tor to Southampton. where the great
bulk Of the relatives of the lost sea
mar lives, and scores of homes that
could not afford to wait for the Of
ficial distribution of the big London
Mansion House fund were enabled
to weather the crisis. The most COM
feature Of their p%hilanth-
ropy is that there has not been a
semblance of ostentation about it.

DEAN ROGERS FOR WILSON.
Yale Law School Head Hands Hard
Words to Roosevelt.

Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the
Yale Law School, like former Presi-
dent Elliot of Harvard, intends to
support Governor Wilson and regards
Colonel Roosevelt as a man whose
gluttonous lust for power has SO Ia
ken possession of him that he is ready
to go to any lengths if only his sell
fish ends can be promoted"
Dean Rogers makes his views
known in the current issue of lions
Herald. He says he intends to support
the Democratic ticket to punish the
Republican party " as the represent
alive of the mercenary interests that
have preyed upon the people for a
generation and to punish it for the
sins of Big Business in partnership
with crooked politics"
Also he wishes to secure a tariff
for revenue only, to maintain the
rights Of the States and because he
believes that the Democratic party
will solve more efficiently the trust
probletm. A further reason he gives
for supporting Wilson he states to
be:
Because Woodrow Wilson pos
sesses the energy, the ability, the
4ha n6nnnndnnn tho
respect for the Constitution OF
the United States. | believe that
I his personal qualities are such
that he will be mor successful
in getting things done than
Roosevelt or Taft.
Dean Rogers is against Taft chief
ly because Of the Republican policy
Of protection. Regarding Mr.. Roose-
welt he has much to say, of which
this is part:
Mr.. Roosevelt showed while
he was President an unwilling
ness to submit to the. restraints
which the Constitution imposed
upon the President. I regard him
as the most lawless President
the nation has ever had. AS /
believe in a government of laws
and not of men, | am opposed to
him. | regard his views of the
powers Of a President as abso-
lutely unsound and dangerous.
The alternative of a government
Of law is a depotism.
Mr.. Roosevelt says Dean Rogers,
is as much a protectionists as Mr..
Taft. He calls the Colonel's action
in Panama as scandal and declares
the idea Of his fighting bosses to be
ludicrous in one who consorted with
Platt and Woodruff. He says:
He can turn traitor to his par
ty, be Judas Iscariot to his best
friend, be Mr.. Facing both ways
ITO the colored race, break his SOL
emn promise made to all the peo-
pie Of the nation that he would
not under any circumstances"
again be a candidate for the
Presidency, or put any MAI or
woman in the Ananias Club
whose veracity it serves his pur-
pose It any time to challenge.
Il am opposed to the election to
THAT high Office" writes Dean Rog-
ers in conclusion, ''of any man |
believe to be an out-and-out demago-
gue."-New York Sun.

dad, HERE'S TO YOU"

I'VE happened in q home the other
night. and over the parlor door saw
thellegend worked in letters of red,
What is home without a mother?
Across the room was another brief,
God bless our home.
Nov what's the matter with
God bless our dad? He gets up
early, lights the fire, boils an egg,
and wipes off the dew Of the dawn
with his boots. while many mother
is sleeping. He makes the weekly
hand-out for thebutcher. the grocer,
the milkman. and baker, and his lit
tie pile is badly worn before he has
been home an hour
If there is a noise during the
night, dad is kicked in the back and
made to 90 downstairs to find the
burglar and kill him. Mother kneads
the bread, but dad supplies the
dough. Mother does up the fruit;
well, dad bought it all. and the jars
and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself, and
draws the neck from the ruins after
everyone else is served. What is
home without mother?' Yes, that
is all right; but what is home with
out a father? Dad, here's to you;
