Woman lletalns Her Barbarian In
stincts to a Phenomenal Deajree.
To the cold-blooded, analytical stu
dent of anthropology, woman has re
tained all her marked barbarian In
stincts to a phenomenal degree, says
a magazine writer. Her clothing, orna
ments, love of ceramonlals, religious
longings, her likes and dislikes, her Ir
rational affection and hatreds are sur
prisingly similar to those of her Jun
gle sisters. The various degrees of so
cial standing and the generations of
civilization have had their Influence,
but their natures, Instincts and that
peculiar sense, which for want of a
better name we call Intuition, are the
same in every woman, whether she Is
a laundress or poetess. For the Man
from Bombay never wrote a truer line
than this :"For the colonel's lady and
Judy O'Grady are sisters under their
skins."
Three-fourths of our International
marriages are possible because of this
peculiar savage Instinct. It la Idle to

BREADLESS PEOPLE.
Substitutes I'aed In Tarts of Italy
Austria and Koumanla.
Baked loaves of bread are practical
ly unknown In many parts of South
Austria and Italy, as well as In the ag-
rlcultural districts of Roumanla. the
Baker's Weekly says. In the villages
ot the Oberstelrmark, not many miles
trom Vienna, bread is seldom seen, the
staple food of the people being sterz. a
k. t d of porridge made from ground
beechnuts, which la taken at breakfast
with broth or fried In lard and with
milk again at supper. This sterz U
also known as hetdon, and takes tin
place of bread not only In Stelermark,
but In Carynthla and In many parti
of the Tyrol. In the north of Italy the
peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a
porridge made of boiled maize. The
polenta, however, Is not allowed ta
granulate, like Scotch porridge or like
the Austrian sterz, but Is boiled lntu
a solid pudding, which Is cut up and
portioned out with a string. It Is eat
en cold as often as It Is hot, and Is in
every sense the Italian peasant's dally
bread. The modern Roumanians nr
held by many scholars to be descended
from a Roman colony In other words,
to be .cousins of the Italians; and. cu
riously enough a variation of the po
lenta, called mamallga. Is the national
dish of Roumanla. The mumalti;a U
like the polenta In that It Is mudo ol
Soiled .maze, but It is unlike the latter
In one Important respect, as the grain i
are not allowed to settle Into a solid
mass, but are kept distinct, after th
fashion of outmeal porridge.

Opinions of Great Papers on Important Subjects.
CONCERNING "GRAFTER."
CCOIiniNG to a court decision that has
jiint been handed down, calling a man a
grafter dors not constitute slander. This
will probably lead to fresh attempts at a
definition of the term which has filled a
long-felt want while awaiting a place In
the dictionaries. The people accepted it
A.
quickly and applied it liberally without any effort at
nice distinctions. They called men who were guilty
of criminal offenses grafters. They found the word
useful In connrrttoii with boodle aldermen and dishon
est politicians. But they employ It also In referring
to small cheating and a disposition to nsk something
for nothing. The offenses vary from prave to trivial
ones, and yet the same quality is recognizable in them
all. The grafter figures on rewards without service, on
holdup games, op taking what does not belong to him.
The same moral qualities are suggi-sted by the term
whether the action complained of is criminal or not,
and they are qualities that make for thievery. They
were recognized recently In the Senate In a smoking
room of a sleeping car which was discussing an Inci
dent that hnd happened shortly before. A man had
secured two railroad 'tickets for the price of one, owing
to the error of a clerk, had refused to pay the full
price on demand, and had decided to let the unfortu
nate clerk take the consequences. The Senate voted
unanimously that he would be a star grafter If he had
the opportunity, and Its members emphasized their
opinion of him by snubbing him and making unpleasant
remarks within his hearing.
The legal problem Is beyond us, but we are positive
that If "grafter" is not slander it will never be mis
taken for a compliment. Chicago Record-Herald.
TRICKS TOR THE JURY.
N spite of its many good qualities, the
Jury system has always presented to the
mind concerned with pure Justice the
basis for a multitude of doubts. For ex
ample, when eight men on a Jury are con
vinced that a verdict for murder should
be rendered and four are equally honest
In their vote for acquittal, what Justice can there be In
a verdict which condemns their subject to a compro
mise verdict of manslaughter and a term of twenty
years? Either the law has been robbed of a life right
ly forfeited to it, or an innocent man has been made
to pay the penalty for a crime he did not commit.
And this brings us to the methods by which the
opinions of Juries are swayed. It Is the view of the
law that a Jury is moved to its duty by some telling
bit of melodrama, a piece of sentimental clap-trap, or
the clever Introduction of Irrelevant nonsense Into tha
erlous proceedings of the case by some slick lawyer.
One does not wish to be severe on a man on trial
for his liberty. Nor is it right to deprive him of any
legal privilege granted to him by the law. But it must

In other States where drainage projects are undertaken.
Northern Iowa, particularly, contains a large number
of shallow lakes which can be drained apd converted
Into agricultural land at comparatively nmall outlay,
and the tendency to do so has led to much litigation
to preserve lakes which the common good demands
should be retained. Whatever other effects the law ha9,
It will tend to stop the drainage of real lakes, since
the direct financial benefit Is not so likely to tempt the
State as It would a private Individual.
In rendering this decision the Iowa Supreme Court
has also undoubtedly cut out for Itself much litigation
in the future determining titles to lnke beds already
drained and defining what constitutes a lake within
the meaning of the law. The Iowa court la used to

mission of the Bureau of Immigration, under the or
der Just issuel by Secretary Nagel, to equalize this con
dition to send the laborer away from the overstocked
market to the other market where his services are In
demand.
Though the government doubtless concerns Itself
largely with the economic aspects of the case, there Is
also a moral and physical question Involved. The more
generally immigrants are kept away from cities, the
better will be the health and morals not only of them
selves, but of their children; the more probably will
the second generation grow Into worthy, law-abiding
Americans. The better, too, will be the conditions in
the cities themselves If they are relieved somewhat of
this constant Influx. It would be almost a solution of
the problem of congestion and Its train of evils. Cleve

FOR THE ECONOMICAL MAN.
Mot Kec-rsanrr to Vuy II lit h Prices
In Order to lie Well l)rraad.
It is not necessary for a man to pay
high prices for his clothes in order to
be well dressed, the New York Sun
says. In all kinds of ready-made
clothes better taste Is Bhown than for
merly. A good rule for the econom
ical man to follow Is to avoid the ex
treme and the conspicuous.
Take thirts, for instance. It Is pos
sible to buy for about 1 a perfect
ly plain white negligee Bhlrt which
will look almost as smart as the shirt
made to order and costing four times
as much. Instead of such a white
shirt, let the economical man buy a
plaited shirt for the same price and
It will be perfectly obvious that it was
not as costly as a good plaited shirt
turned out by one of the first shirt
makers ought to be.
This Aanie rule holds good with ev
ery article of man's dress. In the mat
ter of shoes the simple style free from
eccentricity will enable the wearer
look well dressed without the expend
iture of much money und with no
special evidenca of economy, while a
shoe exhibiting freakishness displays
Its origin at once.
Any man can buy for 20 cents socks
In a quality as good as a millionaire
would desire. The cCme in dark blue,
purple and even green. Yet there are
certain kinds of cheap hosiery that
shock the taste with crude colors,
harsh combinations and discordant
stripes. So the discriminating buyer
by the exercise of taste can manage
to look well and yet not spend much
money.
In the matter of neckwear It Is pos
sible to purchase for a very small
price r.rtlclos that imitate fairly well
much costlier ties. The solid colors
and the combinations In low-priced
neckwear are sometimes as good as
those In the university ties and the
knit ties In the solid colors.
In Btraw hats If a man picks out
the ordinary thape, moderate brim
and crown, be is not likely to go far
wrong. He will probably look as well
as the next man, even If he did pay
Jl.f.O for his hat instead of $4.
Of course the tie that costs f0 cents
Is not the same as that which costs
13. nor is the hat that costs $1.50 the
sumo us that which costs t; nor do
they look the Fame. The difference be
tween the two ties will not be so great,
however, as that between the hats.
For Hint reason tho hat must be se
lected with even greater care than the
tie, r.nd the principal chance of suc
cess lies in keeping to good models.
In his ,gloves. In his handkerchiefs
und In his underwear there Is plenty
of opportunity for the ecouomlcal man
to show his tasto. By watching his
chances to buy advnntageously In the

will be able to appear as well dressed

TAINTS BIG THEATER CURTAIN.
AlloKorlrnl Picture (or the Denver
Auditorium Being" Finished.
One of the largest theator curtains
in the country is being painted by
Albert Herter In the Vanderbilt gal
lery in the Fine Arts building at 215
West 57th street, for the Denver Au
ditorium, the New York Herald says.
It Is for a proscenium arch, thirty
three feet high and sixty-five feet
wide, and with the exception of a com
paratively narrow ornamental border
the entire spaco will be given to an
allegorical picture.
The princial figures are General
"Wushington and the Marquis de La
fayette, mounted, and near them
stands Alexander Hamilton. They are
on an elevation from which they can
look down upon a scene of war. Far
beyond them Is the figure of Progress
and near by stands Justice and other
personifications of the civic virtues,
while emerging from the folds of the
flag, far above the central group, Is
the spirit of Independence. The pa
triotic theme was chosen because the
curtain is to be presented to the Au
ditorium in Denver by a revolutionary
society.
The curtain was first sketched In a
large loft owned by the scene painter,
but as Mr. Herter could only see the
results of his work at a distance of
six feet he removed It as soon as pos
Bible to the gallery, where he can
study the effect under conditions
which more nearly correspond with
those under which the curtain will 1m
displayed when it is In place. The
panel Is pleasing In its color scheme
and highly decorative.

INLAND VACATION FISHINflL
Home Instrnrtlmis for the Anli
Who Wonld Arhler Success.
In- still fishing for plckerrl. pike ot
muskellunge on the lake the best tlma
la from 4 p. m. till dusk, or from sun
rise to 7 a. m., though such early fish
ing at other seasons is les3 effective,
I-ouls Rhead says in Outlnif. The best
bait for these three fish Is small, two
or three Inch minnows for pickerel!
five-inch minnows for pike and eight
inch minnows for muskellonge. For
the last, Bhlners, silvery dace, young
white fish, chub or a young sucker
will do. Anchor the boat quietly tea
to twenty feet out In the lake from
the weeds and use a clnker heavy
enough to keep the live bait below,
according to the size of bait.
The right tackle consists of a phosphor-bronze
wire leader, with one or
two single hooks snelled of the samo
material; Insert the hook through tho
hack of the shoulders, using care not
to kill the bait, so that it can swim
around the leader. Have swivels at
tached to each bucII and one connect
ing the line to leader, so that the bait
will not get twisted while in the water.
Pome anglers use two hooks, one a
foot from the sinker, the other four
feet above It. A float is very useful
In keeping the line straight up from
the bottom and Is an excellent devlco
to denote , when a fish takes the luro.
When It does and the float sinks ht
r.eath the surface, be patient; It wITl
come up again to take a Journey moro
or less rapidly; after It has traveled
a few yards, raise the tip of your rod
rtronp and quick; you will thus hook
the fish. Then being to reel it In to
ward the boat and be sure to use a net.
