The Little Country Theater.

II is quite agreed that II the country boys
and girls are to be held on the farm in larger
numbers than at present, 1t will be necessary to
afford them more OF the city attractions which
lure them away. And simply superior economic
advantages will not do, at least, have not done.
"All work and no play makes Jack dull boy"
and the amount of play which the country
Jacks city cousin is able 10 crowd into his
workaday life tends to make Jack restless to
get to town
So. to meet this need, a lot OF 'socializng"
of country life has been tried. The latest
scheme has been launched by the bureau of
education of the Interior department in the
nature OF the little country theater," now in use
by the North Dakota Agricultural college. II It
proves successful there, II will be tried else
where, with a view OF general and permanent
use. The theater is to be built by the college or
organization conducting 1t, is to seat 200 and
afford such plays as may he accommodated in
any well-regulated small-sized house
AS part OF general plan for "cityfying,"
so to speak, the country life, this ought to
prove helpful. Why it should continue to depend
upon the paternalism of the government
though, is not clear Now that the bureau of
education has introduced the plan, II II is &C
ceptable II ought to be taken up by private in
sttutions or communities, Its permanent sue
cess, of course, would be a red feather in the

One OF our democratic legislative candidates
ascrbes his nomination to the fact that he in
troduced a suffrage resolution in the house six
years ago that was beaten by only vote.
Yes, but another law-maker who ehampioned
woman suffrage in the legislature only last year,
when he made the principal speech in behalf of
votes for women, failed of denomination on
the republican ticket, which would indicate that
the suffrage sword is two-edged weapon.

GASOLINE at the Poles.

The Amundson and Scott eXpedi-
tons were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott Mr..
b. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At 81 degrees be
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pUlverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains large percentage of
tin, and so, of course. disintegrates in
the same way. Consequently the gas
oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies of gasoline in containers made
of glass, or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion.

During the BOer war Mr. Rhodes
was shut up i'm Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed Il people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was a regular modern rifled
gun, and fred shells-also homemade
ON each of which was stamped,
with compliments of c. ]. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves were not with
out a sense of humor During Christ
mas. 1899, they were besieging Lady
smith. and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with a piece of plum pudding inside,
and each bearing the words, with the
seasons compliments"
Two of the shells were found by the
garrison. and It was discovered that.
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in foundry

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes. and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar of
resinol ointment and a cake Of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin Is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv.
