ed and then hit in the face. When

MONEY WAS FOR sPARlNG HIM
American Had Never Heard Town
Band, and Consequently Got the

Christmas day, and asked for do

CAN ONLY FORM AN ESTIMATE
Able Accurately to Tell the
Speed OF the Wind.

Up to the present the greatest
speed of the wind las never been
measured, for the simple reason that
no instrument has yet been invented
capable of doing so.
In 1878 an thermometer on Mount
Washington registered 1876 miles an
hour, which is the highest velocity
on record, and last November a Rob-
inson thermometer was blown away in
Jamaica when registering 100 miles
per hour.
A tornado, however, blows far
harder than that. At various times
attempts have been made to estimate
the velocity of the wind in tornado
by observing its effects. For instance,
in 1875 a board of pine wood was
Blown against and right through
telegraph pole, while during the
same storm another plank was driven
three inches into the trunk of tree.
It was calculated that such eff
fects could only have been produced
by q force little less than that of
q cannon ball-that is to say, the
wind must have been travelling at
the rate of between 600 and 800
miles per hourl

I'm DEFENSE OF FATHER

EVERY now and then father will
come across little baby shoe when
he is rummaging through an old
trunk. To him it is only cheap
little bit of kid that was worn by a
little tad who get sick and died.
He can't see why my mother keeps
it. But to mother the little shoe
has warm lips moist with her kiss
es, little hands that cling lovingly
to her breast and little eyes that
look into her very soul and under
stand her SORROW" The above ap-
peared in one of our most valued
exchanges and brought forth the
following comment:
Here is where we call for new
deal for father. Mother is all that
has been said, and more, God bless
and keep her. Father is all that
has not been said. know men
who rush away into the dark and
grieve on their knees with their
head in their arms, because little
baby died a long time ago. And
after that they come out and face
the world smiling and brave,
and the world doesn't know.
I know a man who carries a little
daughters little shoe in his grip
when he goes out upon the road 4,
and sleeps with it beneath his pill
low, and | know many fathers who
will never be comforted this side of
the grave. Let US still love and
cherish mother; but let us also give
father credit for being at least half
human.

MAKING A HOME OF 1T

Under the above heading the
Tribune of Chicago says:
Cities are absolved from blame
for Turing the boy from the farm and
the more or less stable existence of
the tilIer of the soil TO the uncer-
tain lot of the city laborer or clerk.
According to a bulletin OF the Wis
consin Country Life confer ence,
the blame for the desertion of the
land by the young must rest largely
with the parents, with the farmers
themselves.
THE average farmer, says this
bulletin, has until recently been in
terested in his crops, cattle, and a
bank account more than he was In
the comfort of his wife and children.
With the city man it has been the
reverse. The wife of the city me-
chanic, whose income was far small
er and immeasurably less secure
than the income of the farmer, has
for years been having hot and cold
water in her kitchen, bath IN the
house, and gas and electricity to
cook, wash and iron with. Her
household work has been cut to a
minimum. The wife of the farmer
is still largely drudging away un-
necessarily. Because OF this drudg-
ery, the want of a comfortable and
consequently interesting, attractive
home, the migration from the farm
to the city has been unprecedented
in recent years, it is asserted.
THE Wisconsin Country Life
conference Incorporates some prac-
teal advice to farmers in its bulle-
tin. 1t enumerates the various ma
chimes which might be installed in
the farm home at comparatively
small expense, and which would go
long ways towards making lite
on the farm lighter on the woman
and more attractive tor the children.
The bulletin holds up examples
farms which are run on a modern
basis and are made to pay better.
The farms so run not only keep the
child rem at home. but keep them
interested in the home, in the farm,
and farm work, is shown. 1t is
timely and valuable advice and is
sure to bring light and happiness
into many farm home that feels
that there is something wrong with
it, but does not know just what is
wrong, and how TO remedy it.

FROM SHEER HABIT.

Miss Muffitt had recently Joined the
"Band of Sisters for Befriending Burg
lars" and was being shown over a
prison for the first time.
One prisoner, evidently man of
education, Interested her more than
the others. He rose and bowed to her
when she entered his cell, apologizing
for the poorness Of his apartments.
Miss Mufitt could not help wonder
ing how this refined man came within
the clutches of the law. In fact, as
she was leaving the cell, she said:
MAY I ask why you are in this dis
tressing placer"
Madam" he replied, "I am here for
robbery at a seaside hotel"
How very interesting" said Miss
Muffitt. Were you-er-the proprie-

1t seems strange that so many
newspapers and persons who are
generally for everything that is for
advancement should numerically
criticise the eugenic marriage law
which without a doubt is one of the
greatest steps forward that has been
made in this state in years. DR..
John M. Beffel, one of the state S
foremost physicians, has stated
that the new law will cut down the
number of unhappy marriages
frightfully and DR.. Beffel ought to
know what he is talking about, and
if this is so there should not be a
single word uttered against the law.
AS an illustration of the preva-
lence of disease among men DR..
Beffel stated that recently a test
was made with 5000 persons in
Australia, the results showing that
of that number 5000 were afflicted.
A test made in Berlin, Germany,
showed IS per cent, while another
test made in Russia showed 90 per
cent afflicted. "In one of our penal
institutions for girls" said DR..
Beffer 40 per cent of the inmates
are diseased"
Forty per cent, or almost half,
goes to show that the disease might
run up to IS per cent or higher
among the men here. Does any
one then question the need of such
a law. 1t has been stated in one of
the leading magazines that three
fourths of women's ills are caused
by these diseases which are trans
mitted to them by the men. The
houses of Ill fame are almost en-
tirely supported by unmarried men
and many of these young men, we
are sorry to say, travel in the best
society and with the incest young
ladies of their towns, and many a
bride would be painfully shocked
and would demand a health certi-
hcate of her betrothed if she could
read his past.
The law citicized because the
Wassermann test which is a scien-
tihc means of discovering the pres
ence of certain disease is expen-
sive and cannot be made for three
dollars which the state allows ply
sicians to charge. But medical
men agree that a number of dis
eases can be detected without the
expensive scientific tests and if
this is the case the young women
should be given the protection of
such a law.
