S. 6 THE HiRDIN TRIBUNE By E. H. Rathbone HARDIN, • MONTANA rebates corn is announced from Bloomington, Ill. Don't want It. How are we going to eat corn off the cob! As a discreet diplomat Mr. Wu should be in no great haste to get back to the vicissitudes of official Lit. in China. Richard Croker cannot be expected to find entertainment in a country where horse racing Is at present la such alight favor. \Legal lynching\ takes place in Ten- nessee. That's good. Now can't wo have a little legal arson, counterfeiting and general hellraising? Jane Addams, Dr. Cornelia De Bey and Mrs. Emmons Blaine, whose terms on the Chicago school board have just expired, have not been reappointed. The prima donna whose husband is wildly excited because she wears tights on the stage should get the press agent to calm him if possible. A Men's league for women suffrage has been formed in Holland, and the Lutheran church in that country has given women a vote in all church at fairs. A New York tradesman of long ex perience says that the hardest persons to collect bills from are those WO have no money and those who have a great deal of money. In the days when Methuselah and others stuck around for 700 or 800 years the microbe which Prof. Metch- nikoff blames for causing old age had not been discovered. A young woman in New Jersey fell dead from excitement and terror caused by the sight of a mouse In her path. Now say that a mouse is not a terrible beast, will you? Chicago's traction interests contem- plate a two -hundred -and -forty -six-mil- lion -dollar merger. A man with only $1,000,000 must feel pretty small when he tries to talk business these days Partnership for mutual advantage was observed when two one -legged men went into a Broadway (New York) automatic shoe -shining shop and each had his shoe shined for the same nickel dropped in the slot. There may be a walking test to try the sea legs of naval officers. It will, at all events, remarks the Baltimore American, relieve the fear of being re- quired to dance a hornpipe and we might suggest that they be made to dive and swim. It seems to be the consensus of opinion of correspondents of the Daily News that living is cheaper abroad but that money is harder to make. There never was a rose without a thorn, but perhaps Luther Burbank will be able to make one some day. Prof. Elie Metchnikoff will devote his Nobel prize to the study of longevity, and he says he is convinced there is no good reason why useful lives should terminate at the compara- tively early ages of 70 or 80 years. But the professor is silent upon the pro- longation of lives that are not useful. Motor omnibuses, motor trucks and traction engines are so dangerously numerous in the congested sections of the city of London that conferences at the Mansion house have been discuss- ing means \to check the speed, noise tnd smell of heavy motor traffic.\ bese are the grievances that citizens complain of; and the list suggests that the next worst thing to losing a limb once in a while is to have one's ears and nostrils offended all the time. It used to be said that a railroad through a new country was one of the greatest of civilizers. It looks as if the automobile might be made to serve equally well. China has always frowned on railroads, and in conse- quence a great part of it is shut off from the outside world, but the Chinese are much pleased with auto- mobiles, and in and around the cities they are becoming a familiar sight. The next step is good roads and gen- oral development. One of the large eastern newspapers has recently abandoned the \comic supplement\ of its Sunday edition. The change was followed by a discus- sion in other papers of the merits and faults of the comic supplement Pres- ident Hadley made it plain In his re- cent article in the Youth's Companion that the existence of any \feature\ of a newspaper, good or bad, is deter- mined by the people, and that the newspapers purvey what they have found by experience the people are ready to buy. In this, as in other mat- ters, we have no one to blame for faults but ourselves—and our next- door neighbors The netiotial dowry of chills ssems to be dowagers A new one has geeeeed- ed the old one In power, and the re- port is that she Is quite clever and re- eourceful.

AS MUSEUM IN BROOKLINE. Historic New England House Opened On 203d Anniversary of Town. Boston.—The historic Edward De- votion house on Harvard street, Brookline, was formally opened ati a public inuseum the other day. The little old building has been well stocked with articles of the revolu- tionary period, given or loaned by public spirited citizen of the town. The day was especially appropriate for the opening of the little museum, for it was the 20:Id anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Brook- line. The town not long ago appropriated $1,500 to place the so ucture in a Edward Devotion House, at Brookline, Massachusetts. habitable condition, and the Edward Devotion House association is to have charge of its maintenance, The Ed- ward Devotion house is the oldest now standing in Brookline. It com- memorates the Devotion school fund which was bequeathed by Ed- ward Devotion and received by the town in 1762. The fund amounted to about $3,696, which the donor speci- fied should go toward building or maintaining a school as near the cen- ter of the town as should be agreed upon by the town. The Edward Devotion grammar school is located on the old Devotion lot on Harvard street, where the old building may be plainly seen by passersby. WOMAN MINE OPERATOR. Mrs. Upham of Denver Delegate to No- tional Convention. Pittsburg, Pa.—Mrs. Nellie C. Up- ham of Denver, Col., the most success- ful woman mine operator in the coun- try, bears the distinction of being the only woman delegate to attend the ses- sions of the American Mining con- gress held In this city recently. Mrs. Upham was appointed a special delegate by the commissioners of the District of Columbia and bears the dis- Unction of having twice before repre- sented the district in the congress. Mrs. Upham is known as the \Hetty Green of the Mining Industry.\ She owns and operates a dozen mines in various sections of the far west and has successfully conducted' some of the most bitterly contested legal bat - ties for possession of mining claims In which she was pitted against famous western mine operators She has been remarkably successful in avoiding la- bor difficulties on her many claims. The Maternal Instinct. A little girl sat in a corner of a rail- way carriage: apparently lost in thought and with a slight frown on her pretty face. Opposite was her mother, who wondered what Molly was thinking of, and whether she regretting the joys of paddling castle building at the seaside. At last the moth , r spoke: \Well Molly, what is it? Are you sorry to be going home?\ \I shall be glad to see my dollies again,\ said Molly --a mere babe, but already quite a little mother.—Home Notes. was and Must Not Read Newspapers.

Lagercrantz, the recently appointed Swedish minister to the United States, firmly established his popularity with the president imme- diately upon his arrival in this country when it became known that he was the father of seven children. President Roosevelt told him that he had the right kind of credentials to make him an acceptable minister to any country on earth. Before entering the diplomatic service of his country he was en- gaged in the iron industry and was president of a railroad. BURIAL OF ROYALTY IS A MOST EXPENSIVE UNDER- TAKING IN CHINA. More Than $4,200,000 Will be Expend- ed in Rites Over Late Emperor— Obsequies of Empress Dow- ager Just as Costly. P 'kin. --The Chines empire will ex- pend more than $4,200,000 in the birial rites of the late emperor and dowager empress of the Celestial kingdom, be- fore the Confucian law and the an- cient precedents governing the burial of Chinese royalty are complied with The religion and all Chinese usage is founded on respect for the dead, and to the western observer the lavish expenditure of money attendant on the taking of the body of Emperor Kwang-Ilsti from the Forbidden City to the coal hill mortuary, with all its pomp and splendor, was nothing short of the grotesque. For a week the body of the dead emperor rested in state in the room in the palace reserved especially for that purpose by the Chinese court. Be- fore his remains could be removed the law demanded that every piece of his personal property must be destroyed. Priceless silks, furs, gems, art works of which the emperor was intensely fond during his life, were assigned to the flames. This was done at the cost o a fortune, while the destruction of the vast personal effects of the Dow- ager empress will entail an expendit- ure of doubly as much. 13rillisnt, barbaric, and weird was the progress of the cortege through the streets of Pekin the other day. the procession was led by Prince Chun, the regent, while the baby em- peror had a prominent position in the line. Thousands of soldiers, ministers of state, priests, and prominent cir ilians marched to the coal hill, while my- riads of mourners bowed their heads in the dust as the body was borne by. At mortuary hill the remains will lie in state until the imperial sepulcher is prepared. The dowager empress will be buried in the spring, when her mausoleum shall have been completed. Her ob- sequies will cost as much as those of the emperor. A vast collection of priceless furs and other personal prop- erty belonging to her was incinerated In her palace two days ago. The funeral observances were no table for a strange admixture of an dent chluese custom with western forms and practices, a fact that shows the progress made in recent years of modernizing the system of procedure for imperial interments handed down from oygone generations. The fact that ninny of the old gro, tesque funeral forms that have been observed for centuries were to -day Ig nored as utterly unsuited to modern conditions has brought out much local criticism of the government, but in spite of this the throne has ordered the grand council to consider another memorial looking to the alteration of existing funeral observan , e; to con form to modern methods. SOCIETY UNIONS ON DECi INE. Country Shows Failing Off of Seven Per Cent. During Year New York. Marriages amens per - Sons in New York who are socially prominent are on the decline, accord- ing to statistics based on names ap peering in the Social Register for 1909, just out. A decrease ef 20 per cent over last year's msrriaftes is shown for New York city. Ph a general fall- ing off of approximately seven per een' throughout the country Pittsburg was an exceptioi. with 69 \social marriages\ this year as against 65 last year, and Chicago Was sta- tionary with 135 Compilers of statistics declare the financial depression was responsible for the decrease. The figures In New York for last year were 763 and for 1908 only 662. Philadelphia's weddings dropped from 242 to 224 and Boston from 167 to 147. St. Louis recorded only 98 for 1908 as against 131 for 1907, but San Francisco showed an in- crease from 81 to 119. In Baltimore there was a decrease from 116 to 99, in St. Paul from 67 to 59 and in Minne- apolis from 29 to 27. Southern cities as a whole showed no appreciable change. FARMERS USE OAT INCUBATORS, Poultry Raisers Have a New Way of Providing Food for Chickens. Morocco, Ind.—Farmers near here have a new device in connection with the raising of poultry. It is called the \oat incubator.\ The outfit is simple and original, consisting of a number of crates, one above the other, with nine inches of space between. On the bot- tom of each crate layers of burlap are placed and on the top crate\ water Is poured each morning. The water soaks the oats and then drops from one crate to the ether. Under the Influ- ence of artificial heat the oats sprout and grow rapidly, the green, tender shoots making excellent food for chick- ens during the winter months. A bucketful of oats will make five buck- etfuls of green food. Poultry raisers who have tried the \oat incubator\ are euthuslastie in its praise. CUP YACHT IS SOLD FAMOUS CONSTITUTION TO BE BROKEN UP FOR JUNK. Was Built to Race Lipton's Shamrock 11.—$25,000 Worth of Various Metals and Material In the Craft. New York.—A few days ago marked the passing of another American cup yacht. The famous Constitution, predecessor of the Reliance, was sold to Edward S. Reiss & Co., by the American Cup Defender ussociatiou, the syndicate which built her, of which August Belmont was the bead. She will be broken up for junk, like Thomas W. Lawson's Independence, Lipton's Shamrock 11. and other eels - limited racers, The Constitution is high and dry in the yard of the Thames Railway Company, in New London, -Conn., where she has been since her last race with the Reliance in 190'3. She will be cut in tour sections, each of which will be put on a lighter with a derrick and brought down the sound and East river to the foot of Broad street. There everything in her construction will be broken up and sold. There is $25,000 worth of so- called Junk in the yacht. There are 100 tons of lead, 30 tons of bronze, 25 tons of steel, 20 tons of sails and 20 tons of miscellaneous materials, in- cluding anchors and chains. Mr. Reiss has bought nearly a score of famous yachts in a few years. Some he has sent south ad sold for tarpon fishing, and others whose bones were getting brittle, he has broken up. In cases where their years have not told on them their size has kept them idle in some shipyard. A cup defender is an expensive play- thing because of the large crew re- quired to man her. The Vigilant and Colonia were changed into schooners —which require less of a crew than a sloop of equal size --but neither is as large as the Constitution. The Con- stitution measures 89 feet six inches on the surface of the water, but from her bow to her stern she is 132 feet long. She has a beam of 25 feet two inches, a draught of 19 feet seven Inches, and has 19 feet of depth. SISTERS WEDDED ON DARE. Double Nuptials In Early Morn Result of Cousins' Proposal. Sioux Falls, S. D. --George Sweet of Gregory, and Miss Minnie Austin, and Guy Stearns of Ottumwa, S. D., and Miss Sadie Austin, were the principals In a romantic double wedding, which was the result of a dare on the part of the young men. The brides are sis- ters and are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Azariah Austin of Iona. The grooms are cousins. The wedding fol- lowed a midnight journey from the extreme southern part of Lyman coun- ty to the county seat at Oacoma. It appears the two young men were vis- iting the sisters, and during the eve- ning Wade the daring jest that the sisters had not the nerve to accom- pany them to the county seat at once and be married. The sisters called the bluff, accepting the dare, and the four started out at once on the long and dangerous journey to Oacoma, arriving at that place at three o'clock in the morning. The great difficulty and dan- ger in making the crossing of White river in the darkness added zest to the occasion. After their arrival at Oacoma there was a tedious wait for the clerk of courts to appear and issue the necessary license. After this was se- cured the services of Rev. N. H. May were engaged and the marriage cere- mony was performed WIFE OF MINISTER FROM SWEDEN Copyright by tir'sidon Mme. de Lagercrantz. wife of the new minister from Sweden to the United States, is one of the most delightfui womer In the diplomatic circles of the capital and bids fair to he one of the most popular hostesses in WastOngton with the opening of the social season. riffeSNCI.

No Night's Rest for a Year and Limit of His Endurance Seemed Near —Owes Recovery to Cuticura. \My son Clyde was almost com- pletely covered with eczema. Physi- cians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. Ills head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand - it no longer, I used some Cutioura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cuticura Resolvent That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept In the morning there was a great change for the better. In about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema. Mrs. Aigy Cockburn, Shiloh, 0., June 11. 1907.\ Disease Damages Tea Crops. A curious disease which has done much damage to the tea crops of northeast India is known as \red rust.\ An account of the species of alga (Cepaleuros virescens), which causes it, is given by C. M. Hutchin- son in the \Memoirs of the Agricultte ral Departioent of India.\ It attacks the leaves and stems of the tea plant, forming yellow patches. It is prop- agated by two kinds of spores, one carried by water and the other by air. STATI OF OHIO cm Ow YOLIDO. LUCA!! meters. TRANI .1. CHEIglY makes 0•411 that be II stales of the nrm of F. J.
