Wlaconsln started a campaign to stamp out f tuberculosis in tbls stats. Methods for taroplns; out the plag-ue have been tip- permost in the minds of the people for .some time, and the state has recently appropriated 1260,000 for the establish . merit of a state hospital to treat lncip ' lent tubferculosls patients at Walos. Wis. i This plan was forwards by Dr. H. , 'Tm, Russell, dean of the college of agrl , culture at the state university, who ' lias already spent years in studying; , the best sanitary methods for ridding this state of the disease. Together with Ir. M. P. Kavenel of the university, they visited the tuberculosis sanator lnms in New York, gathered lnforma- tlon on the treating of the disease in . Kurope, spent time at the Rockefeller hospital and then advised the ieglshv ture to -establish this institution. Al ' though In operation but a year, nearly ' S00 patients have been admitted, and - only one or two were sent home as in- curable. The treatment given Is open air, plenty of sleep and lots of milk to drink. The huildlnffn for the natlenta are constructed like the verandas of a bouse. Here the patients, warmly wrapped, read in the daytime or stroll over the fields and here they must sleep, practically in the open air at night Sometimes the wind blows in upon them, or a little snow may sift In, but heavy clothing keeps them - warm. Dr. Paulll, superintendent, thinks if he can once get the patient "growing fat" he stands a good chance to conquer the disease.

Br &4y Zsary Somerset. ' (Hearst New by Longest Leased WirO London, Deo. 6. A movement is tak ing place In the French chamber to sup press a, clause in the French civil code of marriage. The article reads: "The, husband must protect his wife, and the wife must obey her husband," and In civil marriages the mayor reads out this article to the couples about to be mar ried. The promoters of the bill assert that this Is old-fashioned and out of date and conHtltues a real injustice to wo men. The proposal to suppress the phrase is, of course, no new one, and It is ourtous that in the religious ser vice the words "to obey" came In with the reformation. It does not exist In the Roman Catholic form, but 'the posi tion of woman was largely influenced at that time by the Puritan idea of woman's submission. It la sometimes said that Indiscre tion is the attribute of woman, and that one of the chief reasons why it is no necessary to keep women from pubHc life Is that they are likely to give the cause away b.y their volubllty or want T I of reserve. The German emperor Is certainly an Instance that such qualities can be equally shared by men, and the indis cretions of his imperial majesty appear to have created a very whlrllpool In the heart of the German government. It is true that the emperor has now exposed the fact that during the Boer war he did his best to encourage this country in the subjection of the Dutch republics, and that attitude probably strengthened the hands of those who perpetrated a war of which England can never be proud, but the real mischief lies in the fact that the emperor la anxious to Impress the world with the idea that "the prevailing sentiment among a large section of-the middle and lower classes in Germany in unfriendly to England." and that he finds it "not the easiest task" to. oppose the major ity of bis people. , , , . . Now there are those who think that when England desires to Increase her navy she Is doing it with a view to ag gressive action, but when the emperor of a neighboring country calmly asserts that the majority of his people . are against us, it becomes incumbent upon England, I think, to sea to it that she maintains the supremacy of the sea, although probably at the back of our minds we know, that the hostility of which the mperor speaks Is a bogey raised in order to show how valuable la hia existence for the protection of the public peace. " . It Is strange that this hostility should have been unfolded to us at a time when the great mass of the German people have shown a singularly fraternal senti ment, when there has been an. inter change of friendly relation ; between editors of newspapers,, between pastors. hntwAnn hurrnmtatsri and trade union ists. I do do not know whether it can be said of such exalted people as em perors that their utterances can be characterized as "gas," but to common eyes it looks strangely like it. The kaiser Is not to be envied during the last few days. In the reichstag only are Oarmana allowed to SDeak their minds about the ruling sovereign with out fear of punishment for lese ma Jeste. Herr Heine, in the course of some remarks, said that the emperor had been ' accustomed to speak on all subject. He spoke on science, not dreaming how scientists shook their heads at his speeches, and nobody told Ha flnnke nn art. but he did not know how people in art circles smiled and shrugged their shoulders. He spoke on politics, but they had heard enough, he said, about that The divine right of kings was in the pres ent day a manifestation of arrogance, of fantastic imagination, and of a special personal relation to God closer than that enjoyed by mortals on a lower PlThe unity which had been brought about In the German nation, he add ed, was the unity of indignation. , a A modern, Raleigh has mad himself famous in Belfast On a wet day Madame Melba had to traverse a soak- oavement from ner noiet 10 mo ing carriage. but the youthful hero, who Dr. H.

Describing the New York horse show, the London Dally Me.11 of November IS, In a dispatch entitled "Parade of Riches," said: "The great social event of the year, the national horse show at the Madison Square Garden, resolves Itself into a contest for public admiration between the ladies of the nmartent set and the horses owned by their husbands. "The spectacle indeed, was a curious one. imagine a vast ring, in which val uable thoroughbreds are exhibiting their paces, surrounded by a glittering circle of women In low necked dresses ablaze with diamonds and clad in the latest freaks of fashion. " 'Which section of the show repre sents the greater expenditure of money? I asked an American friend, who was proudly discoursing for my benefit on the extraordinary number of dollars necessary to produce the magnificent spectacle confronting us. He made a rapid calculation. ' 'Well,' he said, you see 600 women, I wearing at least iz.ouu.uuu worth of jewels. You also see 600 horses worth on an average $1500 each, or a total of 1 i,uuo. -their harness costs another $750,000, and their keep amounts to $1, 000,000 yearly. I think you may safely say th American plutocrat spends mor on the fair sex than on horses.' "Th crowds of middle class specta tors catch only occasional glimpses of the horses, and their attention was ab sorbed by the dresses and hats Of th wealthy women present. The hats worn by the ladles were of enormous size, and the costumes exhibited were all In th Directoire style. Two, displayed by wejl known women of wealth, excited a great deal of comment They were both 'sheath gowns.' on of peacock: blue and the other of pale blue satin, and both revealed black-silk garments to the hip. Neither of tne women wore petticoats. They were pointed out to me as belong ing to the 'younger set of smart s- rtety" , Commencing Monday, we will give to every one of our customers placing his order for a suit of clothes an extra pair of trousers absolutely without cost.
