A household magazine down East is gladdening the world by publishing a symposium on "How to Get Your Husband to Go Out of Even- ings." Never before had we known that there was any trouble about this. Our perusal of the gush and mush departments of the magazines has led us to believe that the main difficulty after marriage is to keep the brute at home except during working hours. We have read millions of articles, or at the least, thousands, suggesting that lonely wives fix up dens and libraries and invite in his friends and give them cigars and cards and thus keep hubby at home. Probably this scheme succeeded, and the women now repent them of their achievement and want him to go out of nights. A few of them complain that when the brute comes home from work he doesn't want to go somewhere and play bridge or dance.

Laura Jean Libby can get points from some of them. But why all this ruction? If a woman wants her husband to go out evenings all she needs to do is to tell him to stay at home. OBSERVATIONS. No life is fruitful without frost. Folks who expect failure seldom are disappointed.

Patience with lesser lives is born of the larger life. You are free from any divinity so long as you despise humanity. It's hard to stay blue when you are brightening the lot of another. Many think they repent the sow ing when they only fear the reaping. You never will have the privilege of sympathy without the price of suffering.

The lives of some of its friends hurt religion more than the logic of its foes. There's a lot of difference between saving money and hoping to be saved by it.

GERMANY OVER THE TRACES Action Comes as a Shock to the Offi- cials of England and the Continent, Particularly as a Quiet Diplomatic Season Had Been Anticipated. London, Feb. 15.What is practically the break-up of the European concert on the Macedonian question has come as a shock to the chancellories ot the Continent and England, particularly as a quiet diplomatic season had been anticipated The assent of Germany to the management of Moroccan affans by France, the conclusion of agreements to maintain the status quo in the Mediterranean and the opening of negotiations looking to treaties that should accomplish a similar purpose with regard to the North sea seemed to make the possibility of differences arising among the powers remote The conferences of the ambassadors at Constantinople also appeared to be going on smoothly when a bomb was thrown into camp by the announcement made by Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, the German ambassador, that Germany would no longer act with the other powers in Insisting that Turkey consent to their demands. As to the cloud that has arisen between Russia and Austria-Hungary over the projects for railroad extensions in Macedonia by the latter state, the right of Austria-Hungary to secure a concession for tha Novipaaar railroad line and the justice of Germany supporting her ally are recognized in England, but it is contended that the present time is in opportune for the raising of this point. It is now said that the official breaking up of all these international undei standings will aggravate the Macedonian question, reopen the whole Near East problem, start a contest for railroad concessions which may lead to serious results and enable Turkey to postpone the reforms for which the ambassadors have been working.

RUSSO-BRITISH AGREEMENT Joint Action Likely With Regard to Macedonia. St Petersburg, Feb. 15It is expected here that Russia and Great Britain will enter upon an agreement for joint action with regard to the situation in Macedonia and that these two powers will be supported by France and perhaps by Italy If such a coalition is made the reason for it undoubtedly will be the latest at Constantinoplethe fact that Germany intends to abandon the allies and adopt the counter proposals of the sultan, which are, in the Russian point of view, tantamount to no reform at all, and which are regarded as creating a situation rivaling the Morocco entanglement in International importance. Only by such a four-power league, according to the Russian press, can the necessary reforms in Macedonia be carried through. Dispatches received here from London indicate that a similar view is gaining ground there.

FATAL RIOTING AT BOMBAY Police Kill and Injure Quarrelsome Mohammedans.

A friend of mine, writes a Scottish correspondent, recently saw a piece of paper lying on the street. He picked It up. It was a one pound note.

Some men might have pocketed it, with a smile of satisfaction My friend, however, honestly handed it over to the police. A short time afterward he discovered that he himself had lost a pound. He thought over the matter and remembered that before finding the note he had been standing on the edge of the pavement for some time. It slowly dawned upon him that the pound he had found was his own and that he had drawn it from his pocket unconsciously. He went back promptly to the police station and explained the circumstance.

The officer in charge only shook his head and smiled incredulously. "Very clever," he said, "butehit will scarcely do." If my friend cared to call back at the end of Bix months, he was informed, he would get the pound if in the inten al it had not been claimed. During this time of waiting he is inclined to meditate as to whether honesty is always the best policy.London P. T. O.

In Case of Accident. Don't bluster. Be tactful. If there are dangerous germs present, ask them to withdraw. If they demur, ask them where they were brought up with gentle irony.

Be careful to render first aid to the Injured. A great deal of unnecessary suffering has been caused by persons hastily rendering third or even fourth aid where first aid was indicated. In case of drowning select a best method of resuscitation. There are 4,639 best methods in all. Have them about you in the form of loose newspaper clippings and run them over briefly before acting.

Keep cool. Stop every little while and take your temperature. If the eoroner arrives while you are at work, immediately desist. It is discourteous to save life In his presence. Take accurate notes of the street and number.

Reviving patients almost always ask where they are. If possible, induce death to supervene rather than to take place merely or even to ensue. It gives the family a sense of dignity.Puck. The Frank Critic. "When Sir John Millais was engaged in painting his 'Chill October' among the rushes on the banks of the Tay, near Perth," said an English artist, "a railway porter from the station at Kinfauns used to carry the canvas back and forth for him.

"The porter was a quaint chap. His services were called for many days in requisition. He became quite friendly with Sir John and seemed to take a hearty interest in the progress of the painting. "Well, 'Chill October' was eventually finished and sold a little while afterward for a thousand pounds. This fact somehow reached the porter's ears.

He met Sir John's brother-in-law at Kinfauns one day and said excitedly: 'Mon, is't true that Sir John's sold t'picture and got a thoosand poond for't?" 'Yes, was the reply. 'A thoosand repeated the porter. 'Why, mon, I wadna gl'en half a croon Rotundity of Earth. We are assured by competent authority that Thales of Miletus taught that the earth was of a globular form so early as 640 B. C.

Pythagoras demonstrated from the varying altitudes of the stars that the earth must be round.

C. 280. The wisdom of the ancients was, of course, lost sight of in the darkness of the "middle ages," and it took Galilei and Copernicus to restore the old knowledge to the world.

The tiger steps upon the false top and before it can retreat is precipitated into a trap. Walking along a sandy road, look for tiny circular pits sunk below the surface and then sit down and watch an exciting episode in the life of the little still hunter which has dug the pitfall.

Then an ant comes blundering along and without warning topples over the edge and begins to slide down the incline But the insect fights hard for life and seems about to make its escape, when, lo, the sand grains upward at the bottom and with a jerk are hurled like a miniature catapult at the ant, knocking it over and rolling it to the bottom The aiit liou, for suc'i it is, now ices I'-S and afte sucking its j'iees casts the dry away and nu i Is its pit against the coming of an the victim.
