Tale Of the Commune.

This story of the Paris commons
is well vouched for by spectator.
"As several Versaillaise we're being
led away to be shot," he says. "one
man in the crowd who accompanied
them, to see the shooting, made him
self particularly conspicuous by taunt-
ing and revlling the prisoners. There,
confound you, said one of the prison
era at last, don't you try to get out
OF It by edging of into the crowd and
pretending you are one of them. Come
back here; the game is up; let US all
die together And the crowd was SO
persuaded that the communard's vehe-
mence was only assumed to cloak his
escape, that he was marched into file
with the prisoners and duly shot"

London tailors get good share. There
is one London tailor who, when the
king of Spain was the guest of the
duke of Westminster at Elton hall
some little while ago, took an order
from the Spanish monarch for 40
suits.
The tailor was asked by wire To go
TO the dukes residence. and returned

esty. Any suit the cut of which has
become in the least out Of date is at
once put out of the royal wardrobe,
though it may only have been worn BY
the king once, or possibly not worn
at all. The king Of Spain has not
any particular fancy for any material
(except perhaps striped flannel Eor

light and dark clothes OF different pat

His majesty has a particular liking
for fancy waistcoats He buys doz-

he spends at least $1,000 year.

Fine Clothes Help Spanish King
to Keep Throne.
Monarch Believed to Spend More
Money on Wardrobe Than Any
Ruler Except Gear Of Russia
Wears Startling Vests.

London The ting of Spain is the
most deliberately aJtired monarch in
Europe.
1t is doubtful if the youthful mon.
arch has ever been seen more than
half dozen times in the same suit
and it is certain that there are many
suits in which he has been seen but
once or twice
When he takes a fancy TO particu.

he tires of the material before he has
worn the whole dozen he will have
the lot put out of the royal wardrobe,
1t would be difficult to say how many
suits of clothes the king of Spain or
ders in the year.
The number greatly varies. Some
times King Alfonso will order as
many as couple of dozen suits at a
time. while at other times he will give
his tailor. or rather one OF them, for
he patronizes several. an order for but
one or two suits.
The king of Spain keeps from 100
to $50 suits in the royal wardrobes
and buys on an average OF 100 suits
year.
His majesty's bill to his tailor alone
averages $4,000 year. of which sum

summoned He got two short lengths
of wire and placed one at the base of
Monjo's tongue and the other against
his diaphragm and connected the free
ends with an electrode. MonJo had
been pronounced dead more than two
hours when DR.. Wynkoop began his
treatment,

movement of the heart Then slowly
that organ resumed its functions and
respiration was restored.

young wife hung over her husband

cess Ena he had in his wardrobe some
waistcoats of rather more remarkable
pattern than was possible even for a
monarch to wear, in England at all
events. without being thought to vic.
late good taste,
Clearly hint had to be given to the
young monarch on the matter. and his
royal host, the late King Edward. with
characteristic tact. thought of the best
way Of doing this without offending
the royal guest. The Princess Ena was
instructed to say something on the
subject to King Alfonso, and there
after his majesty was never seen in a
fancy waistcoat except of the most
correct pattern according to English
notions.
The king of Spain. like all very well
dressed men. is extremely particular
about having ties that harmonic cor
rectly with his clothes. He purchases
about 100 ties in the year. which cost
him from So to $40 each. and buys
most of them in Paris.
On shirts the Spanish monarch
spends about the same as he does on
ties.
his polo shirts cost him SIS apiece
and are made of the finest silk. and
he puts dozen OF them out OF the
royal wardrobe every season.
King Alfonso changes his collar and
shirt three lines a day, and rarely
waara a shirt that has heeu laundared
more than three or four times.

A comparison for the last nine years
gives 1870 convictions OF married men

port indicates that there is a gradual
increase in crime among young men,

University Would Prevent Spread
of Pests.
REPORT AT FARMERS PICNIC
Experts Planning to Eradicate Canada
Thistle and Quaek Grass From
Various Parts of Wis
consin.

Madison.-The spread of noXious
weeds, such as the Canada thistle and
quack grass, has become such a serious
tax upon farmers in certain parts OF
the state that experts in the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture have been
investigating means by which these
pests may be controlled or eradicated,
and in many sections have already
demonstrated the practicability of
their systems of control.
State Seed Inspector A. L. Stone
will give report of the findings so
FAR at farmers picnic to be held in
Madison this month under the direc-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce of
that city and the university.
Other speakers who will have a
place on the program of the farmers
picnic are Prof. ] 6. Sanders, who
will discuss the white grub pest and
suggest methods of control. and Prof.
R. A. Moose, who will tell OF the influ-

ESTABLISHES soil LaboratOry.

GStaDltSneS SOIL Laboratory.
Methods to be employed in the es-
adjustment and operation of the new
state soils laboratory are the princi-
pal subjects OF consideration at pres
ent to the soils department of the
University OF Wisconsin's college of
agriculture. Prof. A. 2 Whitson, in
charge of the work, is also making
provisions for the work OF the de-
partment in relation to the organiza-
tion of drainage districts.
Possibilities of great financial bene-
fit to the farmers OF this laboratory
are almost unlimited Part of the
work will be to examine in the field,
land belonging to individual farmers
and to make such chemical analyses
as may be necessary to determine
lines of treatment best adapted for
the maintenance and increase of soil
fertility OF course in this connec-
ton the laboratory will aid the farm
er in developing whatever system Of
crops may be suitable to his land
While this department has carried
on much extension work in the past,
especially in conducting crop expert
ments with individual farms, this is
the first time provision has been
made for field analysis. The law re-
quires a five-dolIar charge for the ex-
animation Of 100 acres or less and a
single soil analysis. For the exam
ination of additional tracts and for
additional analysis the rate is three
dollars. But when five or more farm
ers in community unite in their re-
quest for the laboratory's service the
department must make field examina-
ton and soil analysis at the rate OF
three dollars per Individual and also
to send representative to the COM
munity, after this work has been
done, who will give a complete ex-
PLANTATION Of the results of the chem
zeal study and discuss with the farm
ers practical plans for soil improve
ment and crop increase.
The last Legislature also revised
the drainage laws of the state in ref
erence to the organization of districts
and the construction of town bitches.
This revision aimed at reduction in
the time and expenses now involved
in the organization of districts, The
new law requires that citizens desir-
ing to organize a drainage district
must make application to the circuit
court and attach to this application
an itemized statement of the cost OF
the survey and report by the col
lege of agriculture outlining the quail
ity of the soil. the feasibility of drain
ing, probable benefits to accrue. and
the probable cost of the project This
win necessitate careful field investi-
cations of the proposed drainage dis
tricts by representatives from the
soils department.

Forbidden TO Train Teachers.

Forbidden TO Train Teachers.
Attorney General W. c. Owen ruled
in response to an inquiry from State
Superintendent C. P. Cary that a board
of education of high school district
cannot lawfully establish and main
tain at it's own expense a training
course for teachers in such school
Furthermore. under chapter 555.
laws of 1913, no high school board in a
county containing county or a joint
county training school for teachers
can lawfully establish a training
course for teachers in its high school.
The attorney general, however, held
that the conditions prescribed in chap
ter 555, laws of 1913, did not interfere
with training courses established and
approved by the state superintendent
of public instruction before the enact
ment of such chapter.
In counties having county or joint
county training schools for teachers
any free high school district may, IN
der approval of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction, establish and
maintain training course for teach
,ers and receive an amount of state aid
equal to the amount expended by it
