seekinn a Husband

Nat e. Harris, recently elected gov
ernor of Georgia. merrily smiled the
other evening when the converse
ton in the lobby of a hotel turned to
the subject of ~benedicts. He said he
was reminded of a little incident.
Some time ago a pretty young wom-
an entered a moving picture theater
and took a seat well toward the front.
Finally the lights were turned on, re-
vealing a young married couple with
whom she was acquainted sitting be-
side her.
"Why, Clara," exclaimed the young
married woman. noticing that the
other was unattended. What in the
world are you doing here?"
81 am looking for a husband, dear"
was the quiet response of Clara.
Looking for a husband" returned
the married woman, wonderingly.
why, you have a husband"
Eyes, l know" was the sighful re-
joinder of the late conner. That's the
one I'm looking for."-Philadelphia
Telegraph.

Toad Soup as a Cure for Insanity 10
One of Them-Caste Question Al
ways Of Profound Impor-
lance.

Hidden among the pages of statis-
tics and maps in the 1911 general re-
port on the census of India are some
quaint stories of Indian beliefs and
superstitions. Mr.. O'Malley, who su,
perintended the census taking in Benz
gal, Bihar and Orissa, tells us that the
lower classes think that insanity ia
due to excess of bile in the system or
to worms in the head.
Neglect of the worship of the gods,
or the curse of Yogi Sadhu or other
holy man may produce it. Madness
being due to possession by an evil
spirit, every attempt is made to APP
pease or exercise it. The exorcists
hold smoking chilies to the nostrils
of the patient and chant mantras, ad-
dressing the spirit in obscene Ian
guage, all with the idea of driving it
away. When these means prove futile
they prescribe a diet calculated to
force the spirit to leave his victim in
fear of losing his Caste. The unfortu-
nate patient has therefore to consume
soup made of toads, etc. When these
abominable nostrums fail the use Of
medicated oils and of indigenous
herbs and drugs is resorted to-
The medical treatment of the insane
sometimes takes the following forms:
"The mud taken from putrid tanks
is plastered on the patients head, or
aloe pulp is mixed with water and APP
piled in the form of an emulsion. A
favorite remedy is soup made from a
particular kind of frog"
Again, the caste question is n
which is Of particular Importance in
many of the Eastern provinces, and it
is told how one chief communicated
the recalcitrants In one highly organ
lied caste which had been split into
two hostile camps, and so effectual
and binding was this order that not
only did the BARRIERS, washermen and
priests of the state, who had hitherto
served them. refuse to work for them.
but the services could not be OBJ
tanned even of BARRIERS, washermen
and priests residing outside the state.
This order was strictly enforced for
some time. The men of this caste
are clean-shaven and very well
groomed and dressed, but when the
dispute was eventually settled the per-
sons affected by the order had long,
dirt-matted boards, the hair of their
heads was in long strands and filthy
in the extreme, and their clothes were
beyond description for uncleanliness.

Temperature and conductabIIlty.

It has been known that some mate
rails are better conductors of cleo
tricity than others. and now Professor
Kamerlingh-Onres Of Leydan has dis
covered that at certain very low tenn
peratures many metals which are con
ductors Of electricity lose every trace
of resistance to the current and be-
come what he calls "superconductors"."
The finest wires of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. 1t is strange that when the
critical temperature Is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
ard the metal behaves as at other low
temperatures.

Borah is still hugging the delusion
that the primary law is popular in this
state. Evidently, his sensitive ear has
become dulled by overindulgence Of
the "to-the-ground" habit and records
false notes, If there is another person
in Idaho who favors a continuance of
our farcial primary law he has not
been heard from. But Borah is right
on one thing, for change, and that is
in regard to the duty OF every voter
to exercise his right of franchise He
says that he would disfranchise those
who, without good and sufficient
excuse, fail to cast their votes. There
is altogether too much of Well il

Passing Into Oblivion.
(Lewis County Register J

(Lewis County Register.)
The Progressive party Is soon to pass
into oblivion. 1t was a glorious soap
bubble while it lasted-a formation in
f1ated by one, Roosevelt, who, by the
way, is also being fast forgotten. The
Progressive party in California, which
is really the last remnant of an organi-
cation that promised three years ago
to be great factor in politics, is to
be wiped out by special session of
the legislature, called at the instance
and for the benefit of Governor Hiram
Johnson, who wants non-partisan
elections. His object in wanting such
is easily discernible. Hiram cannot
very well return to the Republican fold
as an officc-sceker With non partisan
ship election there will, of course, be
no party candidates, it being free
for-all race. Under such a condition,
Hiram believes, past party affiliations
would count but little, and, as he as
sumes, his personality would be suf-
hcient to land him at the head OF the
list. The extra session of the legisla
ture will cost the state of California
100000, but if it lands Hiram in the
u. S. senate in 1916 he, at least, will
consider the investment a good one

Senator Borah sounded keynote"

difficult for the plain voter to under

in part:

do believe, in the efficacy of the law

In this the senator is quite within
his rights. He may believe or support
or oppose to his hearts content and
none have the RICH to say him nay
but he cannot commit the Republican
party to the direct primary or, for that
matter, to anything else. In fact Re
