Blow at Matrlmony.

ST. Paul Dispatch: The worst
blow ever aimed at the institution of
matrimony has been struck by Los
Cal, Judge. He has ruled that
a bride was justified In leaving her
husband and applying for a divorce
when she found that the things he had
told her before marriage were untrue.
1t is difficult to picture what to ex.
pect, in view of that decision. If
wives carry their rights to the limit,
the American family, as /: exists today
will be practically wiped out. or
course there may be a few unable to
prove the falseness of the fairy tales
poured out TO them in the ante-nuptial
days. But very large majority would
have no trouble. In most cases all
that would be necessary would be to
tell the stories in court and leave the
rest to the jury.
It is bad enough to have decision
on the books as an avenue OF escape to
practically all the married women in
the country A still more serious fea-
ture is that there seems no hope OF
removing conditions II absolute truth
fulness Is to be required by the courts
as condition precedent to matrimony
what hope do the men have9 1t is ex
pecting too much to suppose he would
have any success IL obliged to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Thus not only is the
American home of today tottering

A LIFE SAVING DEVICE.

With the spread of the use of cleo
tricity comes the knowledge of the de-
vices in use to render this powerful
servant of mankind harmless. High
voltage is necessary to send electrical
current great distances, but when it
is delivered. so to speak, into the
hands of the users, the voltage must
be reduced in order that their hands
may not be burned. Wires carrying
a voltage sufficient to kill man can
not be safely used in a factory where
they might come in contact with the
employees. The device for effecting
this reduction is called transformer.
They are manufactured in various
forms by the General Electric, West.

HOW TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENT
PUBLICATIONS

No doubt most people interested in
useful reading matter will thank us
for information, obtained through Off
cial sources, as to how public docu-
ments can be procured with least trou-
Bile and at trifling expense. The idea
that prevails most generally, that this
class of literature may be secured
through the courtesy OF members of
congress, Is correct only in SO slight
a degree that 1t had best be corrected.
There are nearly five hundred sena-
tors and epresentatives-he an
edition of several thousand copies, il
distributed pro rata, gives to each on
ly a few copies. Some OF these the
senator or representative needs for
refernce, the few left over are soon
exhausted and those constituents who
then write for them are necessarily
disappointed, through no fault of the
public man whom they have address
ed. Now, as general proposition, the
reader who is interested in Gov
eminent publication will serve him
self best by addressing the official
known as the superintendent of docu-
ments, government printing office,
Washington, D. c., who is authorized
to have reprinted any Government pub
LEGATION for which there is demand
and sell the same. at cost to all ap-
plicants. He will mail price lists, di
yided by subjects, free upon applica.
ton. and remittance can then, as re
quired by law authorizing such sales
accompany order.

A LAUGHING CHORUS.

A LAUGHING CHORUS.
Oh, such commotion under the
ground
When March called, "Ho, There!
ho!''
Such spreading of rootlets far and
wide,
Such whispering to and fro;
And, Are you ready?' The snow drop
asked
.'Tis time to start you know"
y Almost, my DEAR the Scilla replied:
"I'll follow as soon as you go
Then "Ha. ha! hal chorus came
OF laughter soft and low,
From the millions Of flowers under the
Yes millions beginning to grow.
"1'll promise my blossoms" the Gro
Gus said,
when / hear the bluebirds sing"
And straight thereafter, Narcissus
cried,
my silver and gold I'll bring
"And ere they are dulled,'' another
SpOhe,
"The Hyacinth bells shall ring
And the Violet only murmured, I'm
here
And sweet grew the air of spring.
Then, "Ha! ha! hal" chorus came
Of laughter soft and low,
From the millions of flowers under the
ground
Yes misunderstanding to grow
oh, the pretty brave things! through
the coolest days,
Imprisoned in walls OF brown,
They never lost heart though the blast
shrieked loud,
And the sleet and the hail came
down,
But patiently each wrought her beau
tiful dress,
Or fashioned her beautiful crown;
And now they are coming to brighten
the world.
Still Swallowed by winters frown:
And well may they cheerily laugh
''Ha! hat"
In chorus soft and low,
The millions of flowers hid under the
ground
Notwithstanding to grow.

A Story and a Lesson

Marshalltown Times-R epublican: Al
little story is going the rounds which
carries an important lesson to corn
farmers. At the Iowa corn show one
ear Of corn on exhibition was an easy
winner over all competitors. Shape,
size and kernel, the judges placed it
first. Some of them pronounced 1t
the best ear ever exhibited at the
Iowa show. But the termination test
proved that it was utterly worthless
as a seed ear. 1t had been frozen and
the germ was dead. Not kernel
sprouted.
That's the story and the lesson.
Enough said

sprlna Is Here.

Spring 10 Here.
l know that 1t is spring, though
hear no robin sing,
Though l see no jeweled flashing OF
the bluebird on the wing;
| know that spring is here, though no
laughing leaves appear,
Though the snowfiakes scurry swift
ly through the chilly atmos-
phere.
Yet still it's spring, know, though no
dandelions blow,
And the meadows still are sleeping
meath their covering of snow;
I even know it's spring, though no
poets rise and sing,
In Hoosier dialectic roundelay made
of "B'jing!'
No balmy southern breeze brings the
humming of the bees.
And no marvel-sweep of blossoms
bursts upon the apple trees,
Yet / know that spring has come,
though the frogs are sleeping,
dumb,
And the fingers that would play upon
the pipes Of Pan are numb.
But this symptom never fails-every
spring ones eye it halls,
So I'll sing tits spring, although we're
swept by fiercest Arctic gales.
Spring is with us: spring is here; in
the daily prints appear
Many wild, prophetic statements that
miners strike is near.
