Despite the inclement weather there was a large attendance at the Musi- clans club Monday afternoon when a well arranged program was given under the direction of Mrs. H. C. Lockett, in appreciation of Mrs. Henry D. Ross, a member of the club has written a special article for the Republicans:
 The composers selected for the af- ternoon were Handel and Schumann, a felicitous combination for beauty and strength All Handers piano music was written for the harpso- chord, and much of it was in the form of Suites-or lessons as they were called in England. They are pedagogic and thematic in content, patterned for the most part after the style of Bach, with whom he does not compare as composer or instrumental music. His fame rests on his incomparable work in the Ora toria forms. To make his piano works interesting demands daintiness and grace of touch, and much art istic skill It is pleasant to relate that all these requirements were met in the performer of the instrumental numbers from Handers works last Monday afternoon. Handel had the knack of writing well and gratefully for the voice, which many critics at tribute to his Italian training. His melodies are always flowing and

 LONDON, Dec 7-Pending the as- sembling of the peace delegates in London, the Balkan allies are occupied in preparing a joint draft of the de- mands to be made upon Turkey, and it is understood, are exchanging com- munications with a view of arriving at an agreement defining their own mu- tual obligations. The formal accept ance of an invitation to all the powers to send delegates to the ambassadorial conference to be held in London, has not yet been received, but there is no reason to suppose there will be delay in the assembling of the conference.

Club Notes

graceful, and abound in simple ex- pressiVeness.
 Schumann has well been called the great Romanticist of the musical world. but tine term must be inter preted very broadly, for he is no sentimentalist. His works are noble and lofty, abounding in great intrica- cies of harmonic transitions, and much catchy syncopation. They re- quire of the performer physical strength, finished technique and breadth of vision. They are never the work for the amateur and we are proud to record that the player of Monday afternoon rose above that class in her performance of the exacting "Whims" The beauty, power and appealing quality of Schu- mann's songs must be always attri- buted to the long and trying court ship he was forced to undergo, for the best of them were written during that stormy period in his life, in- spired by his passionate love for Clara Wieck. They are the highest form of the pure German Lieder and require deep and long study for sat isfactory presentment.''

FRESH FISH.

In these days of the high prices
of meat it is frequently pointed
out that fish is much cheaper and
that the fnny tribes afford good
foodstuffs for the table.
The main trouble in this coun-
try is to get fresh fish. All of us
know the kind of fresh fish" the
various trusts furnish us-fsh
caught and frozen in the winter
and peddled through the spring
and summer.
In this, as in many other mat
tiers, we could we'll take a leaf out
of Gernany's book. In many Ger
man cities it is absolutely manda-
tory that the fish must be alive
when sold. The housewife goes
to market and sees the fish swim
ming in the tank. She takes her
choice. Fresh fish? The German
certainly gets them.
A start has been made IN this
country. 1t is announced from
Boston that an immense water
tank has been constructed for one
of the fishing schooners, so that
fish may be taken to port alive
and thus delivered absolutely
fresh.
Some day-when we become
really civilized-all of our big
cities, and little ones, too. will
have fish markets la Boston.

Wind and Waves Cause Quakes.

To the average man any movement
of the solid" ground is a striking ex-
ception to the normal order OF nature.
To the seismologi8t, on the contrary.
absolute tranquility OF the earth Is
the exception, and the quakes-large
or small-are the rule. The little
quakes are quite as interesting from
the scientific point of view as the big
ones. There is an international COM
mission for the study Of these mi
croseisms," as they are called. One
type of microseism has period Of 80
seconds. This has been traced to fric-
ton of the wind upon the earth's surf
ace. In other words, the wind creates
es-vibrations-over an extended
land surface. just as 1t does over the
ocean. Another type has a period OF
from Ave to ten seconds. This is found
to have no relation to the wind or to
other meteorological conditions. 1t Is
now most plausibly attributed to the
impact of waves on the seashore.
Great storms on the Atlantic thus set
up trains of little earth waves, which
are registered at Hamburg. Strasburs,
Vienna-their amplitude decreasing
with the distance inland.

WEIGHT OF LOAD FOR HORSE
Should Not Be Asked to Pull More
Than one-Tenth Of Its Welqht--
Cost Of Marketing.

CBy PROF. r. M. DOLvE North Dakota
Agricultural College.)
Since horses use their weight In
pulling they should be loaded in pro.
portion to their weight and observers
are agreed that for hauls over coun-
try roads horse is properly loaded
when exerting pull on the traces
equal to one-tenth of his weight. For
team Of 1.60O-pound horses this
would be exerting pull of 800 pounds
and II 1t requires 14O-pound pull
to haul a ton on an average level
country road they would haul about
21-3 tons. In order to haul this load
up per cent grade they would
have to exert pull equal to one
fourth their weight. which is an ex.
haustive pull and should not be much
exceeded. especially if the hill is long.
II the hill had 10 per cent. grade the
load would have to be reduced to
1890 pounds or nearly three tons less
In order to keep the pull up the
grade equal to onefourth the weight
of the horses.
Statistics show that 1t costs over
20 cents per ton-mile to market farm
products, 80 that If the distance to
market was five miles 1t would cost
81 to market ton when the road
Is level or contains not more than
per cent grade.
Assuming that Is would take as long
to haul the small load Of 1000 pounds
necessitated by the 10 per cent. grade
as it does to haul the larger load, the
cost of marketing a ton would be in.
creased to $225. or an increase Of
S125 because of the grade.

Bishop Rowe has worked veritable
miracle at that mission during his

have been worked upon and moved
to band themselves together against
the introduction of liquor among
them; they have already had two OF
their number arrested and fined for
drunkenness and disorder, and have
given public notice In the local paper
that they will testify in court against
any man who attempts to sell them
