NEW WOMAN HUSBAND.
The Sensible Charmer Does Nat Re-
quire the Pretty Knack.
Tim** was when the foty woman
marrleJ a man devoid of l« a ity wl.li
the Idea of always being beautiful l>y
comparison. She fan ltd h* r elf iso-
lated In this cleverness. Not so. In
deed, the spirit spread until hiti-baud*
are like certain breeds of dogs—the
more ugly. the more valuable.
It was an economical Idea, as beauty
Invariably requin s fit’.© rami -at,
w hich Is a terrific drain ou the h auk
account.
Nor would an astute woman make a
glib tongue and a pretty knack at love
making one of her requirements.
Undoubtedly It I* delightful to meet
with a man who observes what you
have on, understands your moods,
knows how to turn a deft compliment, j
and Is skilled in the delicate art of (
playing at love, but such a man does
not make a soothing and restful hus-
band. He Is too apt to practice his
accomplishments elsewhere.
A woman never really feels safe ^
with any man except one whose love-
making came like pulling teeth—a few
choking, sputtering words that caused
the cold sweat of agony to break forth
upon hit brow. (
She knows that no earthly power
• could ever make him go through that
ordeal again, and so, while she would
like to have a husband to pay her
flowery compliments, >he Is willing |
to forego them on the certainty that
no other woman gets them' from him. j
No matter what other virtues a man
has, If he does not make a living for,
his wife, he is a rank failure. Hull
the reverse of this proposition is also
true, and the man who gives his wife I
nothing but money and fine clothes
and fine houses Is a poor makeshift
for a husband.
A great deal is said about the ex-
travagance of women nowadays, and
of the selfish way they go about from
piace to place, leaving their husbands
at home to toll to supply them with
the money they waste.
The real explanation of this state of
affairs is to be found In the fact that
such women seldom have a husband
at home.
Here is the present ideal make-up
for a husband:
Sympathy. r.O; moneymaking. 15;
good spirits, 13: attentiveness, 12; T»o-
mesticlty, 10; good looks, 0. Total,
100.
Dead Hand at the Wheel.
With a spoke of the pilot wheel
clutched in a death grip and a hand
extend'd toward the bell rope. George
W. Conant was found lying dead in
the pilot house of the packet loircna.
near Hast Liverpool, O., at an ear.V
hour in the morning.
Without a guiding hand. th« big
packet, filled with passengers, who
were peacefully sleeping, wanden d
hither and thither through the <1. n <
fog, and was running at high speed In
to a rock studded pool when Captain
John Richardson stopped the eiaft
from running to destruction.
Faithful to bis dying breath, Conant
exhausted his last bit of strength try-
ing vainly to reach the signal ro|»e,
a pull of which would have stopped
the bout, ills hand was within a few
I inches of the cord when death over-
I took him. The prompt action of Cap
tain Richardson was all that saved thi-
ll ves of a score of pas-enger*.
President Roosevelt's Maxims.
Jacob Rees, who wrote that splendid
work on the life of Theodore Roose-
velt, made public a few days ago, for
the first time, the four maxims which
have been the foundation of his policy
They are as follows:
"First—Fit yourself for the work
God has for you to do In the world
and lose no time about it.
"Second—Have all the fun coming
to you.
"Third—Go ahead, do something
and be willing to take responsibilities.
“Fourth—Learn by your mistakes.
"No man can drive the President,
j He is always right to himself In his
1 own judgment. He may do wrong, but
I have yet to see him, and If he does,
he will learn from his errors."
Moth Preventive.
For a moth preventive and exter-
minator steep In about eight ounces of
strong alcohol, fop about four days,
one ounce of gum camphor and one
shell of red pepper: strain and sprink-
le the clothes or furs and roll in
sheets.
DEW AND DU FI.
Harduppe—I told the florist to be sure and send flowers that were fresh.
Was there any dew on them?
Miss Ritchie—Yes. The florist’s boy when he brought them said some-
thing about a good deal on them being due.

Greenland Natives Are Awakening.
William Thalbitzer. a celebrated
Danish ethnologist, has Just return*!
with his wife to Copenhagen from
Augmagsallk. one of those Isolated
places on the coast of East Greenland.
The doctor went there to study the
Eskimos of that coast. Mrs. Thal-
bitzer, a prominent Danish sculptor,
accompanied her husband in order to
make models of the natives In wax.
Augniagsalik Is a small place, where
the entire native population of East
Greenland, about four hundred souls.
Is now centered. It gets into commu-
nication with the outer world only
once a year, when a Danish steamer
comes with mail and supplies for the
solitary white family living there and
with goods for the natives. The
Danes established the trading post
some twelve years ago, and installed
Johann Peterson as governor of the
island and trading agent of the Dan-
ish government, bartering goods from
Denmark for the commodities the na-
tives have to exchange.
These 400-odd natives are all that
are left of the once large East Green-
land population. But a wonderful
change has befallen them since Holm
revealed them to the world some twen-
ty-five years ag >. When he dlscov- j
ered them they had no knowledge j
whatev* r of their relatives on the west
coast of* Greenland, and had never
heard of the big out.-ide world; in fact,;
they were the only living souls on
earth. Colonel Holm discovered that
they were using articles made by civil-
ized men, for their harpoons wer»v.
tipped with Iron, sharpened with hoop'
Iron that had been washed ashore,
and relics of many a ship that came
to grief on the coast were found in
their huts.
Today, however, they buy and collect
Implements, matches and many otliei
European Implements. I ho white
man is helping them to reduce to a
minimum the hardships of their lives.
In fact, they are rapidly losing many
of the characteristics of their primi-
tive condition, and for this reason Dt.
Thalbitzer and bis wife were sent
amo.-g them to make them the subject
of a year of study before they should
become wholly modified by contact
with whites.
The white man and his wife visited
them daily in their stone winter huts
or summer skin tents talking and gos-
siping with them, studying their ways
of life and dialect.
Brain vc. Muscle.
Sir John Cockburn's praise of a
healthy mind In a healih.v body is as
sound as It Is venerable. The form
In which It has hem published, how-j
ever, seems a little conf ising. Not
tho men of mest muscle, nor even
those of the soundest health, have done
niott for the world. Columbus may
have been a man of muscle, but Ma-
gellan had been crippled long before
he set out upon bis marvelous voyage.
Poetry owes nothing to muscle; art i-
indebted for some of its choicest tr.-as
tires to the Invalids; literature seems
incompatible with rude health and lus-
I ty thews. Nelson and Wellington and
Napoleon would have been considered
poor creatures by the physical cultur-
ists. who would relegate to moral sul
j cldcs those reclust s of the laboratory j
to whom are due the discoveries which
have made Invention and commerce
and science what they are. Muscle
; had nothing to do with discovery of
! the circulation of tho blood, or anaes-
thetics. or the antiseptic treatment;
the use and properties of steam wer-'
problems solved by scientific anelior-
| jtes; the radio-activity of matter be-
longs to a domain explored by discov-
ers of the same class. Picture a Clerk
Maxwell, a Herts, a Becquerel, a Curie
galloping about a football field or sail-
ing into a rival upon conditions gov
erned by Queensberry rules!
Hobbs—'"What makes you think that
Jones married for money?"
Dobbs—"I have seen the bride."
