Should Men Talk Business at Homer
One of the real reaaona of divorce
of interest between men and women of
tbie country la that women do not take
an Interest In tbelr husband's business
Business bores most American women
We are too Ideallatio and too Intellec-
tual to care for ita sordid details Busi-
ness does more than bore us aooner
or later the average f Oman growa to
dislike business and for a good reason
it Is her rival In her husband’s Interest
and affections says the writer of an
article entitled “The Inconsequential
American Woman” ' In Appleton's
America Is full of sad-eyed and well
dresBed women who complain that
their husbands' lives they would stare
business” that they have no Interest
left for anything else If you were to
suggest to these women that they bad
once been given a chance to share In
their h usbands’ lives they would stare
at'you In surprise It would be useless
to tell such a woman that she might
have been a consulting partner in her
husband’s business had she wished To
this she has the reply “Man ought to
leave his business cares In his office”
That is a man's brain should be neatly
divided Into two parts he should be
able to switch off the thoughts which
have occupied his business hours the
way In which one extinguishes an elec-
tric light He should at the same mo-
ment switch on the other half of his
brain where should burn brightly with
affection for bis wife love of amuse-
ment and desire for that kind of relax-
ation which his wife enjoys The great
majority of men have been made to be-
lieve that they should not "bring busi-
ness home” so great Is 'the power of
reiterated suggestion They actually
think that It would not please them to
have their wives take an intelligent In-
terest In tbelr pressing affaire
In accordance with plans of the war
department Surgeon General O’Reilly
haa recently enlisted a large number
of the most skilful and noted surgeons
and physicians In an army medical re-
serve corps The physicians were
drawn from all over the country a few
here and a few there and were chosen
solely for their ability In time of
peace they will receive no compensa-
tion although they may be called upon
for consultation or advice In time of
war they will receive the regular pay
of their rank which will be lieutenant
major lieutenant colonel and colonel
Thjs however Is no temptation to men
of such a class They have allowed
themselves to be enlisted In the re-
serve corps solely as a matter of patri-
otic duty and tor the purpose of
strengthening and Improving the army
medical service
The Romanes lecture which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been chosen to de-
liver at Oxford university In 1910 Is
given under the provisions of a bequest
of the late George John Romanes an
eminent biologist The lectureship was
founded in 1891 for the purpose of giv-
ing the Oxford students an opportunity
each year to hear a man of general em-
inence In art literature or science or
one who bad special claims for distinc-
tion in discussing some subject of high
Interest at the time The first lecture
was given by Gladstone Among his
successors have been Holman Hunt
Huxley John Morley and Ambassador
Bryce Next year Mr Balfour the for-
mer British premier will give the lec-
ture Count Boni De Castellano has with-
drawn his suit against his former wife
for alimony ' Considering that she ob-
tained the divorce the withdrawal of a
demand for support Is not altogether
magnanimous but It may be regarded
so by himself and family as the Ameri-
can girl who bad nothing In their eyes
to entitle her to the honor of an al-
liance with them but her money was
given distinctly to understand that was
all she was married for But this sor-
did picture of vulgar greed Is not de-
terring other American heiresses from
tempting the same fate

IS STUDENT WONDER
BOY WILL END COLLEGE TERM
AT AGE OF FOURTEEN
Norbort Wiener Bon of Cambridge
Profaoior to Graduata from
Tufto In Juno— Aloo Good
In Athletics
Boston— At Tufts college a boy will
graduate next June at the age of 14
and we will have to take off our
mortar board caps to him He Is
Norbert Wiener the son of a Harvard
professor This remarkable boy was
born to Columbia Mo November 26
1894 He could repeat the alphabet
at tbe age of 11 months could read
and write at three years and at the
age of eight he was fitted tor college
In mathematics philosophy modern
languages and the sciences
It required less than three years
of schooling after donning short trou-
sers for him to prepare for college
Boys seldom do this In less than ten
or 11 years usually it requires an
even dosen and often longer
When Norbert Wiener entered Tufts
In tbe autumn of 1906 he had gone
farther In chemistry and philosophy
than the average senior He was re-
quired to take beveral entrance ex-
aminations mathematics among them
In which he was found to he far In ad-
vance of the freshman class
So as a freshman he did upper-
class work in the theory of equations
and In determinants while In philoso-
phy It was found necessary to place
him In a class by himself He had
read Spencer Haeckel Darwin Hux-
ley and many others Now he has
read Locke Hobbes and other Eng-
lish philosophers he has translated
Homer and several plays of Aeschylus
as well as a similar amount ut Latin
In mathematics he has delved Into
the Galois theory of equations and has
completed differential and Integral cal-
culus He will continue this branch
this year and will study the philosoph-
ies of Lelbnlts Spinoza and Kant
In Greek he will read Herodotus and
Sophocles the rest of his time will be
taken up by biology and organic chem-
istry In June 1909 he will have com-
pleted the regular four-year course In
three years receiving the degree of
bachelor of arts before be has reached
the age of 16 But the work he has
covered will equal the amount usually
completed by a candidate for the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy
In the autumn following his gradua-
tion at Tufts college he will enter the
Harvard Graduate school where he
will elect work In higher mathematics
with a supplementary course In biol-
ogy or chemistry After receiving the
doctor's degree at 17— an age when
many students are not yet contem-
plating the entrance examinations—
he will spend two or three years In
Germany or France devoting himself
to philosophy or science
That is at an age when the average
boy has still two years of work ahead
of him for hts bachelor’s degree young
Wiener will be doing advanced scien-
tific work among the gray-hatred
savants of a German university
Prof Leo Wiener of the department
of Blavio languages at Harvard is of
Russian parentage the boy's mother
Is a native of Missouri The other
children of tbe family do not differ
from other boys and girls of their age

LOBSTERS AT $600 A MEAL
Ptrto 'Rican Journal Has High Idas of
Morgan’s Taats
Baltimore Md — Now that Porto
Rico la a part of the United States It
behooves tbe Porto Rlcana to take
heightened Interest In that most curi-
ous of North American products-rthe
multi-millionaire And they are doing
so judging from an Item which ap-
peared In a newspaper of San Juan
about J Plerpont Morgan which may
or may not be known to reader of
more northerly latitudes Here It Is:
"The lobsters destined for the ex-
alted palate of Mr Morgan are caught
expressly for him and for nobody else
they do not belong to that vulgar class
of Bah which everybody can acquire at
the market by simply putting down
the price asked The American multi-
millionaire haa had built on the shores
of the ocean a little hut painted red
In this hut a lobster fisher lives all
the year round His job is an easy one
because Mr Morgan’s craving for the
delicious crustaceans cornea upon him
very seldom— not more than three or
four times a year
"The lobster fisherman above men-
tioned draws a salary of 92000 yearly
Supposing that the American potentate
eats lobsters four times a year the
cost of hla lobsters comes to (600 a
catch
"Thus the greatest of millionaires
baa Introduced once again tho gas-
tronomic customs of the ancient
Romans The Romans liked lampreys
juA as Mr Morgan Ukea lobsters In
order to feed the lampreys properly
and be enabled to eat them In season
they kept them In tanka at enormous
expense Borne historians go so tar
as to aay that the aald Romans to or-
der that their Bah might have a suc-
culent taBte were In the habit of giv-
ing them live slaves to eat
"But tbe American multi-millionaire
has not aa yet thought of treating bis
lobsters to a meal composed of red-
skins” THEY GROW TALL IN MONTANA

Cincinnati — Dr B F Lyle physi-

Robert Armstrong living opposite
the peathouse claims that convales-
cing pesthouBe patients swiped his
cow and he won’t take It back until
It la fumigated They offered him 60
cents rent for the cow but he spurned
it because he was afraid of that hall
dollar
Many methods of fumigation have
been suggested to Dr Lyle but each
baa had Its own disadvantages Ths
city service to which the complaint
was made left It to Dr Lyle with
power to act and he feels responsible
for the methods a well as the results
Planet Out Beyond Neptunef
Cambridge Maas— The possibility
of a planet outside of Neptune which
since Its discovery to 1847 has been
considered the outermost body of the
solar system la Indicated aa the result
of calculations at the Harvard observ-

orbit of Neptune The officials of the
observatory do not contend that they
have discovered the presence of such
a body hut say that such a planet
would cause perturbations such as
have been found

WILBUR' WRIGHT GETS FIRST
FLYING MACHINE TROPHY
Fins Flees of Sculpture Called "Tri-
umph of Aviation” Presented by
Aero Club of Franc to Amen -lean
"Bird Man”
New York— Wilbur Wright the
American aeroplanlat has been pre-
sented with the Mlchelln cup by the
Aero club of France for making the
longest aeroplane flight during the
year 1908 The trophy la a handsome
piece of sculpture and la called tha
"Triumph of Aviation”
The particular flight for which was
Wilbur Wright was awarded the tro-
phy was made on September 24 at Le
Mans France In this flight Wright
whom the French greeted as a “Yan-
kee bluffer” but whom they delight to
honor now sailed hla aeroplane against
an 18-mtle wind That was the strong-
est wind he had faced But he re-
mained up for a fraction more than 66
minutes and covered by official meas-
urement 39 kilometers (nearly 26
miles) This Is about half a kilometer
more than Mr Wright had made a
few days before to competition for the
Mlchelln trophy On September 24 he
made really about 36 miles for the
strong wind forced him to make wide
turns with his aeroplane
Briefly Wilbur Wright has achieved
these triumphs toward accomplishing
the conquest of the air
He has made the longest flight with
a machine heavier than air
He has made the highest flight
The only flight in which the aero-
plane carried two men besides the
operator
The only flight In which a woman
was a passenger— but this Is not truly
Important nor practical
His aeroplane hag arisen solely by
the aid of his own motor without Je-
Ing given an Initial impetus by man’s
finger to It
He has earned $100000 the price for
the patent to France of bis invention
paid by Laiare Welller a French
financier and promoter and patron of
aviation
Up to this time he has taken all the
prises for which he' has competed In
France Including the Aero club's gold
medal and Its prise of 1000 for the
longest flight over an Inclosed ground
On bis return to this country Wll-
The Mlchelln Cup '
bur Wright and his brother Orville
will be presented with gold medals
worth $1000 each given by the Aero
Club of America
It should be stated that Wilbur
Wright's record which closed his con-
tract for the sale of his patents of his
aeroplane In France for $100000 was
sufficient to fulfill as to time of flight
with a passenger the requirement of
the United States signal service corps
which his brother Orville had been
trying to meet pt Fort Myer Va The
United States war department wants
an aeroplane which can carry two per
sons for an hour In a still atmosphere
at a speed of 40 miles an hour The
requirement of the United States serv-
ice is open to all competitors and
Orville Wright had been endeavoring
to meet them on this side as hts
brother had been endeavoring to meet
the demands of his French contract
Orville Wright hoped to meet the
requirements here on September 17
when he took Lieut Selfridge to a
flight with him An accident to the
propeller sent the machine shooting
to the earth and resulted in the death
of the army officer and the serious
injury of the Inventor
The Aero Club of France gave Wil-
bur Wright the Mlchelln trophy on hla
flight of September 24 but he himself
haa beaten that record all to smash
on several occasions since then On
December 18 he beat all records In
aviation In the morning he made a
sensational flight remaining aloft to
hla aeroplane nearly two hours and
traveling about 70 mllea In tbe after-
noon the “bird man” as the French
have come to call him rose to and
maintained a height of 300 feet
HER NAME NOT POLLY TICKS
During the late campaign an Illlnola
candidate for the legislature was driv-
ing through the country seeking
votes among the farmers when he
met a young man In farmer’s garb
walking by the roadside
Having to mind a prospective vote
he stopped hts horse and saluting him
to a familiar manner Inquired:
"Are you paying any attention to
politic nowadays?”
The young man' stopped looked at
him auspiciously and drawled out:
"No stranger that don’t happen to
be my gal's name but sf it was I
wouldn’t think It was any of your
duraed business”
This ended the Interview as irell
as the prospect— Judge
Proved
“Ah but how can I be ture" she
said with a far-twny look “that you
really love met”
''Darling” h replied "I am will-
ing to do anything to prove 1L Stay

"I have been suffering from catarrh
to the head for the past two months
and tried innumerable so-called reme-
dies without avail No one knows how
I have suffered not only from the dis-
ease itself but from mortification when
to company of friends or strangers
"I have used two bottles of your med-
icine for a short time only and it
effected a complete medical cure and
what is better yet tbe disease has not
returned
“I can most emphatically recommend
Peruna to all sufferers from this dis-
ease” Read Thl Experience

Martel Ohio writes: "When I began
your treatment my eyes were inflamed
nose was Hopped up half of the time
and was sore and scabby I could not
rest at night on account of continual
hawking and epltllng
"I had tried several remedies and was
about to give up but thought I would
try Peruna
‘‘After 1 bad taken a bout one-third of
a bottle I notleed a difference I am
now completely cured after suffering
with catarrh for eighteen years
"1 think if those who are afflicted
with catarrh would try Peruna they
would never regret It"
