HAVE OWN DOMESTIC COURT
English Married Pair Air What They
Feel to Be Grievances at Home
Twice a Year.

The suggestion that there should be
a "grumblers' day." day on which
everyone should air their grievances
and then forget them for the rest of
the year is not the novelty some peo-
pie seem to think. Two years ago,
writes a correspondent a young mar
ried couple anticipated the suggestion
by establishing half-yearly complaints
courts.
On the selected day, both husband
and wife told each other frankly of
the faults found in the previous six
months. Usually the husband goes
into the ''dOck" first, while the wife
submits her indictment. If he has
been unduly forgetful, if he has shown
tendency to prefer his club to his
wife and home, if he seems selfish or
untidy or keeps too tight hand upon
the purse strings, the charges are put
before him and are argued out. When
he is convinced, or has shown the
charge is due to misunderstanding,
the subject drops. Then the wife has
to undergo her crOSs-eXamination.
The practice, it is said, has prevent
ed many little faults and grievances
from becoming chronic and leading to
serious trouble-Mancheste Guard

Drove Popular Author Too Hard.

At a recent autograph sale in New
York were several letters from o
Henry, written in the beginning of his
last illness. He was always dilatory
about his work and tried the patience
of editors. At the last they did not
understand that they were urging him
beyond his strength. In one of these
letters he writes:
"You are sure using plenty of 'sar-
kassum' on me these days. I don't see
why you should think am lying about

HUMAN MAKEUP TOO COMPLEX
And That Is Why People Have to Die,
Says High Authority Presumed
to Know.

"Why do we die?" This question
has been asked of the editor Of the
Journal Of the American Medical As
ISOLATION, representing "all the doctors
in the land" as the old saying goes.
eve die because we are 50 COM
plex," says the editor.
So that is the reason that the lay
man must accept. The Literary Digest
intervenes to say that it long has been
believed by biologists that death is
not due to any natural property of the
protOplasm that makes up our bodily
cells Primitive cellular organisms
that propagate by division may thus
live indefinitely. The higher organ
isms, we are told, die because their
structure is a complicated one.
There is very delicate state of bal
ance, and it is easy to disturb it so
that the whole structure fails. This is
the price that we pay for the multi
plicity of our functions. Would you
rather be a protozoan and live for
ever; or man, and die? This is, in
effect, the alternative that nature
holds out to us. Most of us probably
will be disposed to be glad that we are
what we are, even if our enjoyment Of
the multitude of aptitudes and abili-
ties with which nature has endowed
us is to be brief.-Philadelph Public

New York Apartment Hotel Would

Three hundred Park avenue, New

abode of wealth in the world, says a
correspondent. 1t has gold-plated
doorknobs, silver-plated chandeliers

Supplies Lonq-Felt Want.

Since there are great many Amer
lean and English commercial houses
in Buenos Aires, numbers of girls go
down to that cosmopolitan city to work
in offices, but the problem Of finding
suitable lodgings there is serious one
for them because the Argentine wom-
an has not yet entered the business
world. On this account a hard-work-
ing committee has fitted up CON-
plete hotel for women, called the City
house, and this delightful and much
needed place, although it has every
modern convenience and is beautifully
furnished and decorated, is not being
run for profit.-New York Evening

Roadless Russia.

Russia is almost roadless land. 1t
Is uncomfortable to the foreign visitor
who has ever left the beaten track Of
the railways in Russia how great
empire can have subsisted so long and
so successfully without even pre-
tense at roads. The secret lies in the
fact that for five or six months in
the year nature herself provides
roads over the greater part of Russia
admirable smooth, glossy roadways
over hard-worn snow. The traffic is
further cheapened over these roads
by the substitution Of a sledge runner
for the wheel and axle. This brings
the cost of land carriage as near the
cheapness of water-borne freight as
possible, and 1t is the principal rea-
son why Russia In the Twentieth CEN
fury is still roadless land.

ONE THING MISSIONARY KNEW
And the knowledge Enabled Him to
Score Direct Hit OF the
Bullying Skipper.

Bishop Mitchell said the other day :
Missionaries are good deal de-
rided and reviled since the World
war. Why try to convert the heather,
people cry, when we're still so unre-
generate ourselves?
"A Methodist missionary was travel
ing in steamer along the west coast
Of Africa. The skipper kept making
fun of him. The idea of his trying to
better the heather! Why not first bet
ter his own people-get them to stop
using poison gas and all that sort of
thing? Missionaries were no good,
anyway. An ignorant, lazy lot.
The missionary stood a good deal
of this talk, and then one day at din
ner he said to the skipper:
"'We missionaries are ignorant, and
you, of course, know great deal.
Sailing these African waters so many
years, suppose you can tell me the
length of an alligator's tongue?
Sure l CAM clustered the skip
per. .Surest thing you knowr
"'Well, then, what is it.? o..
1T depends said the skipper, ON
the length of the alligator
"'All right. Suppose the alligator
is Is feet long?'
'"The skipper looked around the
table. All the passengers bent for
ward, deeply interested in this lingual
duel-this tongue battle, so to speak.
If the alligator's Is feet long, the
skipper said, it's tongue will be three
feet long
"'Wrong!' said the missionary,
calmly. I'm only an ignorant mission
airy, but know that alligators don't
have tongues "-Detroit Free Press.

BAD HABITS SEEMINGLY SET
Famous Raider, Moews, Though Now
Engaged In Peaceful Trading, Con-
tinues Career Of Damage.

Although she has been rechristened
and is now devoted to peaceful pur-
suits, the old Moewe, once notorious as
q German raider, cannot reform her
bad habits. She rammed and sank
the Formby lightship Planet. near the
Mersey bar.
The Moewe is now the Green Brier.
She was outward bound from the
Mersey to Teneriffe and was proceed
ing along the main channel when
something went wrong with her steer
ing gear and she smashed into the
Planet, one of the three lightships
stationed near the mouth of the Mer-
sey and familiar to American and all
other navigatOrs.
Although the Green Brier's captain
kept his steamers head in the light
ships breach, flood of water poured
into the Planet and she soon sank.
Her crew of six narrowly escaped.
The Green Brier's bows were so dam
aged she returned for repairs.
The Green Brier, under the name
Of Moewe and commanded by Capt.
Count Nicholas Won Donna SchOlO-
diem, for long time terrorized pas
senger and cargo-carrying vessels in
the Atlantic. and as result of her
operations British and allied shipping
suffered extensively. The Moewe
proved most elusive and defied all
efforts at capture during long career
Her original name was Punga. She
made her first trip to the West Indies
under the British flag and Messrs.
Elders and Fyffe's ownership from
Newcastle about Is months after the
armistice.

SPREAD WARNING OF STORMS
vorable Weather Conditions in
Time to Take Precautions.

Cold waves, heavy SHOWS, high
winds and billiards. vitality interest
the stock growers of the great range
states of the West. The weather bu-
reau of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, in it's endeavor to as
sist the stockmen, issues warnings of
these unfavOrable conditions which
are dangers to farm animals and to
those who Craze on the range. These
warnings are widely distributed by
telegraph and telephone to large cen
ters, but further dissemination de-
wolves on those interested. The prob
lem has been largely solved in some
of the states, particularly Missouri, by
telegraphing the warning to one CEN
trail point in each county, where ar
rangements are made to telephone in
formation of the warnings to each
community interested.
When warning is received stock
men arrange to Craze their stock near
shelter. or in such a direction from
shelter that the stock will drift to-
ward it when the anticipated severe
weather comes. A modification of this
service consists Of sheep shearing and
lambng forecasts and warnings. In
early shearing and lambing districts
shearing is delayed Or newly shorn
sheep, ewes and young lambs are kept
near suitable shelter, such as coulees,
where they will receive protection
when wind, snow or cold rains are ex-
pected.

the direction of a beautiful young
woman with very marvellous jewels.
