Right and Left Hands.

AS regards the moral significance of
the right and left hands. a highland
friend who is something of n Gaelic
scholar gives me the interesting infor.
nation that In Gaelic the right and
left hands become respectively the
south" hand and the north" hand.
The moral aspect of it comes out in the
Gaelic idea of the south as rich. well
favored and fortunate and the north as
the reverse. In the south hand are
carried riches and honor. The north
handed man is unlucky. And now we
know why it is so many Scotsmen go
southward!-London Chronicle.

ERADICATION OF QUACK GRASS
Badly Infested Field Should Be Plowed
From Five to Eight Inches Soon
as Crop 10 Removed.

By ANDREW ROSS. Minnesota Expert
ment ,Station.)
Where a field is badly infested with
quack grass 1t should be plowed from
five to eight inches deep as soon as
he hay or grain crop is removed. All
portions Of the grass must be turned
under. Within a few days the pillow
should be followed by a disk harrow
with the disks set straight at the first
time owe to avoid turning any Of the
sod. The disking should be repeated
m or twice a week for six or eight
weeks and occasionally after that IN
til freezing weather.
Short crop rotations are useful in
keeping quack grass under control and
when arranged SO as to provide an
opportunity to attack the quack grass
at he right time they will permit
eradication Of the weed without los
ing the use of the land.

Philadelphia, Feb. 6.--"The high cost
OF living is responsible for the majority
of martial troubles and divorces, de-

of the Housekeepers' league. in an adj

School league.
Nothing leads to divorce so quickly
as the sql,abbles and quarreis which
arise in a home because the money
doesn't reach far enough, continues
Mrs. Derr. Women. as a rule. do not
know where to buy and they are easily
glllIed on prices.
The speaker advocated system OF
cooperative stores as a means of re-
ducing the cost of food products.

.coniitions in this county have
reached such point. said Mrs. Derr.
that co-opera ton among consumers
in the purchase and sale of food prod

people who should benefit. At present.
the food supply passes through too
many hands before it reaches the con-

BEACH CASE Will
GO TO Jury SOON
Prosecutions Efforts Devoted
Largely to Effort to Break
Down the Story Of the
Defense.

Aiken, s. c.. Feb. 6.-When the trial
OF Frederick o.. Beach, of New York,
charged with attacking his wife with
murderous intent was resumed here
today counsel for each side were con
fident the case would go to the Jury
before evening. Only minor witnesses
remained to be heard before the state
concluded presentation OF evidence in
its clrcumstantial case against the
millionaire.
Indications We're that the defense
would Introduce only two witnesses in
addition to Mrs. Beach. Whether the
defendant would testify still was in
doubt.
None of the witnesses who testified
during the first days proceedings was
able to describe the assault on Mrs.
Beach. Every effort of the prosecu-
tion seemed directed at picking flaws
in Beachs story No effort. 1t ap-
peared. was made to substantiate the
prosecutions contention that Beach at
tackled his wife after he had failed to
overtake mysterious man in gray
he was pursuing.
The court room was crowded when
the trial was resumed at $50 o'clock
Beach and his wife arrived early, ac-
companied by Mrs. Taylor and Mrs
Hollins. Mrs. Beach was again at =
tired in brown and seemed to be suf-
fering from q slight cold.

Prince Katsura's reply was brief He

The attitude OF the opposition is
very determined and the only outlet
from the present deadlock appears to
be the selection of new diet and
the redistribution of the parties
The finance minister in the course of

recognized the expediency of readjust-

the nations general expenditure and
postponing for the present some of the
undertakings planned Every encour-
