Ixuis Woman Has Dan of Mar rying Her Sons to Her. Servants. St. Louis. Feb. 13. Mrs. Louis J. Tichachek, wife of a wealthy marble manufacturer and former Missouri state representative, trains servant eirls in ner home ,0 be wive8 of ,,er sons. She has made three of these matches and they have been so suc- cessful that she has plans for keen- inc her personally conducted matri- - i neir motner nnds np r wivps and I put them in business and everybody is happy," says Tichachek. Mrs. Tichachek has a rule which thus far has never failed her. This is the way she states it: "If a girl is good enough to work in my household for five years she is good enough to marry one of my sons." When a girl has successfully passed through five years of proba tion and has shown that she is pro ficient as a cook and as a house keeper, according to the standard set by this mother of ten, Mrs. Tich achek does not hesitate to recom mend her to the oldest son still sin gle as a helpmeet. With the executive forethought Mrs. Tichachek preserves' the line of succession by always having one or n,ol'e household servants in training when the senior in rank is approach- ing the end of the allotted five-year period. Friends of the family are com menting with interest on the fact ! that three of the sons who have I reached legal age George, 27; Ed jward, 24, and Charles, 22 are still I bachelors, and that coineldentally a young woman regarded by all of Mrs. Tichachek's woman acquaint ances as a paragon of servants has been with the family almost five i vears The sons who have followed their I mother's advice in selecting servants I in the house for wives, and who 'have not regretted it, are Louis, 33; August, 31, and Frank, 29. Lous has two sons, August has four daughters and Frank has a son and a daughter. The younger numbers of the Tich achek family are ,'erome, 20; Marie, 17; Harry, 1G, and Eugene, T. "Our daughters-in-law are n-i dear to us as our sons," said Tichachek. "Every night they come to our home with their families and we have a party. We make our home so at tractive tl-at our sors never go else where to find amusement. "I hM'e i, ever baa caure tu regret taking ny pons ini1 n.y Uk-Zitipss as partners. Day and night we are a happy family." Tichachek has been in the. grain ing and marbling business in St. Louis 3G years. He was a member of the state legislature In 1903 and Is a cand'date for the democratic nomination for city register at the coming spring election. Wise Indians Mock (Hiicago 'Wise fiuys." Chicago, Feb. 12. Fifteen offi cials of the tribes of Pueblo Indians in New Mexico passed through this city today en route for Washington. The Pueblo officials represent the owners of (100,000 acres of tribal lands which have been in their pos- j session since they were granted by 'the Spanish crown in 1G90. i The Indians, most of whom were i in blankets and moccasins, were slightly amused at efforts of fellow passengers in the railroad stations to patronize them. "Heap cold, John," said one trav eling man to a tall Pueblo in red and blue blanket. "Yes, it is rather cold, but we are accustomed to extremes and-don't mind it much," replied the Indian, i who was Juan Antonio Martin,- al calde of Acoma. "Heap big Injun on warpath," i laughed a station porter, coming up 1 10 tne groU, ! ..Here. boy, take this bag to the I Bn,oUlnR room. 1T be there in a j minllte ordered one of the Indians, , ral)lo Abelta one of the chier men I of Pueblo Isleta. The porter obeyed in a dazed manner. The Pueblos are delegates to the i United States government. It is j their mission to deed their property to the United States as trustee for 25 years to insure continuance of their policy of keeping liquor out of their boundaries and preventing the sale of the lands to individual white men. Thev are accompanied by Francis G. Wilson, an attorney. Live Job for Teachers. Oregonian: "There is such a uni versal cry for more freedom and lib erty for every man," said the great Samuel Johnson, over a centuiy ago, "that soon there will be no liberty or freedom for any man." ' Tliere is nothing nej under the sun. The clamor grows for less restraint upon the citizen and less and less author ity.

Having par Utopia at last. j taken of chocolate, the brigands post Now it is the school teachers who i ea" themselves behind some rocks, and fear the ruthless school machine, and therefore they purpose to set up a machine of their own. They bave a little bill up at the legislature which will In effect give them life jobs in Portland, for it will practically take away the power oi the directors or superintendent to dismiss them after they shall have passed a two ears' probationary service. Then they are to hold on forever, unless alter a trial hedged in by many saving con ditions they shall be dismissed. The burden of proof against any teacher is thus placed upon the directors, who must make out a specific case on definite charges. The directors who may desire to drop a teacher or principal on sufficient ground of un fitness, or incompetence, or laziness, or general worthlessness, will be helpless. They must publicly -give their reasons and publicly justify them. If there is anything the matter with the present Portland school board, it is possible through legisla tion or otherwise to gt a new hoard. But the life-tenure scheme is not a movement against the authority of a particular school board, but of any school board. The real complaint against the Portland school directors is not that they have dropped too many principals and teachers, but too few. The Death of Captain SCott. Medford Sun: The death of Cap tain Scott and his live men on their expedition to the south pole seems peculiarly wanton and pathetic. The pole had been discovered by j Amundsen, so that the sole excuse for risk of life had passed. The world informed that the south pole had been reached, were willing to drop the matter with the same relief and eagerness that the north pole controversy was dropped long before Dr. Cook and Admiral Peary had ceased disputing over it. The two poles have cost infinitely more than they can ever be worth. Their sole value id that of satisfying human curiosity. The contributions of polar discoveries to scientific knowledge have been slight com pared with the price paid in money and human life. From the time when Sir John Franklin disappeared in 1S54 until the recent discoveries the yearly toll in lives and suffering has been enor mous. Nineteen men perished at one time with Lieutenant Loekwood. The astronomer, Sonntag, found an icy grave in the Arctic circle, Cap tain DeLong starved, Charles W. Chipp and ten others froze to death. These two imaginary extremities of the earth's axis have lured adven turers with the pitiless fatality of the flame hiring the moth. And when It, is over the world secures nothing but a few grains of geo graphic data and the knowledge that "it can be done." It has been an expensive exploring stunt. To sacri fice men like Captain Scott and his crew after everything of importance had been done seems to give added potence to the warning that the ends of the earth are two places to avoid'. A speed exceeding two miles a minute has been made by cars on a short German ele?tric railroad built by army officers for experimenting.

" Mexican brigands; " Pleasant Sort of People That Merely Robbed Travelers. "I was once for some weeks at a sugar plantation, near a small provin cial towu in Mexico." wrote the late Mr. Lauoucbere In 1S79. "In the town lived a brigand. He was highly es teemed by bis neighbors, and. I passed many a pleus.iut evening with him and bis family. His daughter was a 'beau ty.' and this estimable parent was amassing a little fnrrim fnr hor "His habit was to ride at night to tue road between Mexico and Vera Cruz witn two or three associates and to levy contributions ou the diligence. w ben I left the town I wanted to strike this road, and I went with biiu uiiu uis inenuH. vo rpw .. it nt ... I looked ou. Soon the diligence was seen approaching. The brigands emerg ed, the coachman stopped, the passen gers were requested to descend and were politely eased of their money. "The passengers then took their places again In the coach, and it drove off. while the brigands courteously bowetl to them. So honest were they In tbelr peculiar way that they wished me to take nry slmre in the spoil, but this, of course, my standard of moral ity being different from theirs. I de clined, and 1 wished tbem goodby. "Riding on to rendu I dined at a table d'hote that evening with the de spoiled travelers and was greatly amused to hear them recount the val orous manner lrf wblcb they had de fended themselves and how they at last bad to succumb to numbers."

While whiles are the largest of ma rine animals, yet certain fish grow to almost as gigantic size. The largest of true lis lies are found among tbe sharks and the largest of these for midable fishes are the wbnle sharks. These huge lish occur In the waters of India. Japan, South America. Panama, California and the West ludies. The nose Is very broad nnd blunt and the mouth, although very wide, is armed only with minute teeth. It is a dark colored creature, marked with small, whitish spots and Is perfectly harmless to man. feeding exclusively on small fish. It's huge bulk makes it dan gerous when wounded. This great tish reaches a maximum length of seventy feet White Robed Blacksmiths. , Extraordinary precautions are tnken by the Korean blacksmith before he attempts to shoe any Korean horse which is noted for Its bad temper and likely to tlomrish its heels if not se curely tied up tirst. Sight of one of the small ponies trussed np to the heavy timber framework is ludicrous, however, and In a way may be termed "horshoelng on tbe safety plan." White costumes would look out of place for a blacksmith's use almost anywhere else, bpt in Korea all men wear white gar ments. Young men also wear their balr screwed up Iu hard knots on the top of their beads as a sign they are married. Marriages In Burma. A curious Idea among tbe Burmese is tbat people born on tbe same day of the week must not marry and tbat if they defy the fates their union will be marked by much ill luck.

The smallest state In, Europe, the autonomous republic of Moresnet is ou the boundary between Germany and Belgium. Moresnet has an area of barely one and a quarter square miles aud a pop nlatiou of 3.500. It owes its existence to u boundary controversy for the con trol of a once important zinc mine. A boundary commission settling the fron tiers of Holland and Prussia after the fall of Napoleon in 1S14 was unable to agree upon the ownership of this liny piece of land, with its valuable mining rights, and finally left the question for future settlement. Neither power was to occupy it. and it was administered jointly by the two states. In practice the Joint administration soon resulted iu nu administration by neither stale, mid the community be-, came autonomous under the protection and tutelage of .Prussia and Holland aud later of Prussia and Belgium. In 1S41 the .two guaranteeing countries regularized tills aud formally gave the district its own independent adminis tration. It has no courts, but litigants can choose between the Belgium and Prussian tribunals In beginning litiga tion, which Is subject to the laws nei ther of Germany nor of Belgium, but of the ancient Code Napoleon. Chi cago Inter Ocean. PRIMITIVE ARAB LIFE. Desert People Still Have the Customs of Abraham's Time. In the wild deserts Arab life is as primitive as ln-Abraham's time. Sheep are still slain to seal a vow. The salt or bread covenant is observed, and when a man dies his tent is torn down aud destroyed. Old names such as Joseph. ' Moses nud Alexander are still in common use nmong Arabs, though pronounced "Yusuf." "Musa" and "Skandar." To divorce his wife a man may re pent the formula Ent telek three times. Usually saying it once makes the wo man behave, and its repetition is uot necessary. The "evil eye" superstition Is com mon, and the first injunction given a visiting foreigner by experienced Ara bian travelers is that he must not point at animals or persons In Arab settle ments. Arabs say a man gifted with this malign power can look at a bird flying in the air and that it will drop dead: that if be chooses to cast his wicked spell on a camel it may go lame or a child so selected will be struck blind. None of the lower class can read or write, but the Arab Is noted for his ready wit and his habit of speaking in allegory. Christian Herald. , The Human Brain. . In estimating tbe size of the human braiu in comparison with the bruin of other animals we must figure on uot only the positive, size, but the relative. Were this not the case man would stand below the elephant and whale, as the brains of those creatures far ex ceed man's in positive size, while as regards relative size they stand so far below him that, while the braiu of the elephant amounts to about tbe live hundredth and that of the whale to three-thoiisandth part of the bodily weight of these animals respectively, tbe braiu of man varies from oue-tbir-ty-fifth to one-thirty -seventh of his en tiro weight. This shows the immense superiority of tho human brain as com pared with the bruins of the lower ani mals. New York Ainericau. t Dogs That Hunt Crabs. A collector for tbe London boo has succeeded Iu capturing several crab hunting nnd crab eating dogs Iu Brazil. Tbe dogs are half fox. but they do not seem to cure very much for poultry. They have been known to turn up their noses at nice, fat pullets and go fishing for crabs instead. The dogs hunt iu packs along tbe banks of the rivers .in the Amazon valley, and the crawfish and land crabs of that region are their especial prey. Tbe crabs often put up a vigorous tight, but the dogs have a way of turning them over and biting them In a vital spot Just as the thor oughbred terrier polishes off a rat. New York Herald. Unfair Advantage. A school inspector, examining n class in Bible history, asked. "Can any boy tell me what bird Noah let outof tbe ark?"

His sou, a captain in the army in the Philip pines, was on bis way to see his father before he died and was expected every hour to arrive. He was the apple of the old soldier's eye. They bad fought together In Hie Spanish-American war. The colonel had si-eu his son wounded and carried past him to the rear, but had refrained from any further ex pression of grief than a "God bless you. my boy," and had pressed ou at tbe head of his regiment The sou had recovered and after peace came had been sent to tbe United States posses sions in the Pacific. When it was known that the colonel had not long to live the son was notl" fled and, having secured a leave of ab sence, sent word that he would start for home immediately. They told tbe father that bis boy was coming, and for a time It buoyed him up wonder fully. But his disease was rapidly wearing him out. and he soon fell back again. "Doctor." he said to his physician, . "can you keep me ullve till my son arrives?" "I shall try, cololiel." "But you must." "I can't work a miracle." The colonel was not satisfied. His doctor was an old man brought up iu the old lime school, and bis patient wished for younger blood, one who if he could not defeat nature's laws could by daring and a knowledge of their workings produce some marvelous re sults. So the next day he called in u young man noted for his original meth ods and. dismissing the old doctor who hail been attending him, placed himself under the young doctor's care. These were the instructions he gave him in tbe language he would write an order: "You are not to attack my disease with a view to curing me. You will use every effort, take every risk, to keep me alive till my son arrives that we may meet once more on earth. Iu case you succeed $5,000 will be paid you from my estate by my son, whom I shall instruct verbally to do so. If I am utile to give him the instructions you will receive the money. If I am not able to give them you will receive nothing but an ordinary fee." Never did a young physician have a better chuuee to make a start in his profession. Tbe doctor devoted him self personally day and night to his pa tient. Ten days remained from the time he was engaged before the cap tain could possibly reach the bedsid of bis father. Every stimulant known to the profession was administered to the invalid, but in spite of all of them he gradually sank. Eight days passed, and there was barely enough strength left in him to keep him conscious. Then came a message that the ship in which the son was coming was making port at San Francisco. When a telegram was received an nouncing that 'the captain had left the Pacific coast for home it was known that be would arrive, on time in three days at noon. Tho doctor told the colonel of the time his son would be with him and urged him to nerve him self to fight death. "He is coming," said the old sol dier resolutely, "and 1 will hold the position till he arrives." , But twenty-four hours liefofe the captain was due a severe storm set in. and the weather 'conditions have a . marked effect on those struggling with . disease. The old soldier held out man fully till the morning of the day his . son was expected to arrive. ThenJie fell away so rapidly that his doctor felt obliged to administer the most powerful heart stimulant known to the profession. It revived the patient, but not for long. Then oxygen was ap plied and lastly galvanism. By such means the doctor succeeded in keeping his patient alive till the hour anil minute the train was due. Then came word that it was an hour lute. For a moment the doctor was staggered. Then be resolved on what proved a stroke of genius.' The colonel lived near an army station, and tle doctor telephoned the situation to the commandant and asked him to send a detachment, with firearm and blank cartridges. In half an hour twenty men under command of a sergeant wero before the colonel's door. A carriage darted up to the house, and a young man alighted and ran in side and upstairs. Kneeling by the bed, be exclaimed: "Father!" , But there was no reply. The colonel was unconscious. i Cokng to the window the doctor cried to the sergeant below: "Beat the long roll!" The sick man heard, and a, light came into his eye, u flush into his cheek. . "A volley!" cried the doctor. Twenty rifles tioiuidert at once. "Turn out the guard!" cried the colo nel. "The enemy is upon us!" Then seeing his son: "My boy! My boy! I feared you would not arrive In time.". A light came Into the father's eye, a tinge of red to his cheek, as his son. put his arms about him and kissed him as. he had done when a child. Then tbe old man's words became indistinct, and he closed his eyes with a faint "Good by." But another volley infused still more life, and the colonel lived several hours, during which he conversed with his, son and gave the instructions he had promised to give concerning the d.oc tor's reward.
