A WOMAN'S MIND.

Tho old saying, Convince man

opinion still" would seem to apply
more especially to women, says the
Boston Globe. II we may trust the
accuracy Of dispatch from Pitts
burgh, giving a report of stalk by
Prof Munsterberg before the students
OF Carnegie Institute Of Technology
In describing an experiment with a
group OF Harvard men and group Of
Radcliffe women, who were asked to
tell which of two blackboards contain
ed the more white spots, Prof Mum
sterberg is reported to have said that
bl per cent. of the men and 40 per
cent. of the women named the right
board. but after the matter had been
discussed by the class, each side at
tempting to convince the other Of It's
correctness, a second vote showed
that rs per cent, Of the men and only
As per cent. of the women made the
right decision. Commenting on the
experiment, the psychologist is said
to have declared that women form
their opinions and judgments az rap
idly and as accurately as men, but
when they have an opinion they stick
to 1t, and no amount of discussion cap

Some American editors have just
learned that in France and Germany
recruits for the army who come from
some rural districts are inferior in
stature and stamina to the young men
bred in cities. The result Of this new
knowledge is an amusing set of spec
ulations as to the way modern science
Is making the city the best place In
which to rear children. The real ex-
planation Is very different Defective
rural recruits come from sterile re.
gions known to ethnologsts as mis-
cry spots,'' where conditions of life
pair health. Such a misery spot In
France is found In the Limousin hills.
not very far from Limoges. A little
district in those hills has one of the
shortest populations In Europe. Re-
cruits from this place are bound to
make bad showing when compared
with those of Paris, whose population
is drawn from all France, and, there.

France. Modern science has done
much to make city life healthier than
before; but it has not yet enabled cit

sounder than those Of wellto do Coun

THE COMEDY SUCCESS, THE
BACHELORS BABY"

If there is a man who does not
love children, he will change his
mind when he has witnessed
Frances Wilson's comedy The
Bachelors Baby" in which Hen
Try BuckIer and Mimi YvOnne are
appearing this season with SO
much success. 1t is an April day
sort of a farce, with sunshine, gen
tie tears once in a while, and a
sweet cnveloping atmosphere of
selfiShncSS that warns the heart.
Tom Beach is the bachelor
whose pet aversion is children. 1t
is the Joke Of his intmatcs and
friends. His brother has been lost
at sea, and when the missing will
is found it contains the news that
Beach is to be the guardian Of his
five year old niece and also to re-
Ceive a large sum Of money. He
absolutely refuses to accept the
legacy, nor will he receive tIc
child in his household, but while
ne is fumjng over the terms Of
the will, the little orphaned child
arrives, and struggle against his
fate as he will, declaring hc will
send the child to convent, the
baby calmly and with certainty as
well as child like simplicity takes
possession not only of his heart
but his home as well. The child
also has another uncle, Col. Cal
vert, a brother Of her dead moth
cr, who comes to claim the child,
and Beach's conscience impels
him to give her over, realizing
that he is in no way fitted to bring
her up. Coincidently it happens
that Calvert was a boy sweetheart
of Winiired Vests, a young girl
in whom Tom has become pro-
foundly interested, but who will
not marry him because he holds
such strange ideas about children.
Tom is led to believe that Calvert
wins Winifred and then his spirit
is broken, for he realizes that he
has lost both the baby and the
girl. In the end, however, through
a trick conceived by Winifred and
Calvert the baby is restored to
Tom and promise given that the
baby is to have a new mother.

A NEW PgAcEMAksR.

A new discovery in electrical forces
has been made by SigIor ulivi, an ltal.
ian engineer. While experimenting
with electricity and light he discov-
cred a new set of electrical oscilla-
tions, which have been named Fl
rays" to have the power of exploding
gunpowder when encased in metal
boxes or coverings, says the Pitts,
burgh Dispatch, ;, Experiments at
Havre exploded gunpowder in metal
boxes, both floating and submerged to
depth of q feet, at distance of
about. eight miles, by the new force.
The machine producing these rays is
light portable. easily fixed in the cab
IN OF ship or mounted on a motor
car 1t can explode the contents of
a magazine in a fortress or on bat.
tleship with equal facility. or course
there is much to be learned concern
ing the new force and the means Of
counteracting its attack, but at pres
ent it seems to wipe out artillery and
to render the expenditure of millions
for battleships and fortresses wholly
useless. The "F rays can be used
for purposes Of peace as well as war,
though in Europe the belligerent uses
attract the first attention. Mineral
ores can be located by their aid, and
many other industrial uses can be de-
veloped. But at present the most def
mite result, If the further experiments
support those at the start, is the aboli-
tion of the most costly element of war.

Changeable Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE,

Dr. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio.
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes, 1t is the climate, not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure.
and are of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, changeable
climate, Is the true cause of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies. the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials 10 adjust to.
The area Of high pressure forms In
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east. subjecting millions of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands of
people catch cold. A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get well of
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh. or bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what / am getting at Is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do Is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health Is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health. with
excess vitality this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.
Some Of us must have assistance.
The assistance that I use for myself,
would recommend for my friends to
use. my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
If the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
If the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
a cold, a few doses of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-runa off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system. 1t keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather Of
winter.

 The negro is said to be paa character and is wanted for severely beating his wife and for carrying a pistol. Deputy Constable J. L. NC Burnett went to arrest him Tn thlS city some time ago, when he was cl'y detective, and the negro held nm OIL with revolver. Later he telphohed to police headquarters, challenglns the officers and saying that he could not be arrested. When officers were seh- after him, he skipped the city ana had not been heard of until Chlei oA Police Frank Stewart was notified oi his arrest yesterday.
