THE SEW-WEEKLY TBIIUHE IRA L. BARB, Publisher1. J TERMS, $1.25 IN ADVANCE. NORTH PLATTE, . NEBRASKA V HUSBANDS A8 PROPERTY. Considerable satisfaction will bo felt by mankind generally at tho nrgumcnt advanced by a married woman In a suit Involving another woman that "a husband in property to a wlfo and a family, and to win him away is noth ing short of stealing." So It Ib tho husband and not tho wlfo that is tho "human chattol." Tho admission con troverts tho thoory upheld through generations of feminist protest against tho sorfdom imposed by man on his domestic partner through unequal man rlago laws, says tho Now York Herald, Tho honest confession that tho con trary is tho caso has been secured at last, but at a cost to feminine con sistency which may bo oxpoctod to bring Us proper rcbuko from overy woman's club In tho land. Tho fair plaintiff to secure her own ends has proved falso to ono of tho chorlshcd principles of her sex. Dut tho truth Is out. It Is man who is tho chattel, possession of whom Is gained by tho marrlago ceremony and tho right, title and Intorcst to whom has beon estab lished in suits for non-support or for abandonment during marrlago as well as in alimony proceedings afterward. His etatv.s as matrimonial property has to bo sure, long boon a matter of court record. Hero la high valotry and variety with a vongeancol A roomclerk In an uptown palaco hotel tells of a pal ace revolution that doublo discounts a Jerked-beef mutiny in Rio Janeiro, ssyB tho Now York Press. He says: "The valota and maids wo get hora are far more difficult to deal with than their masters and mistresses. Most of them insist upon having rooms with private baths and turn up their noses at anything else. It has happened at times that tho sorvantB rooms woro all occuplod and we had to put a valet or a maid into a room with a bath, a regular guest room, charging tho reg ular sorvant rato. Tho result Is that every 'gentleman's gentleman' that comes here now demands a 'bantu' as his Inalienable right" The coming generation, In our cities at least, is likely to have a more live ly appreciation of the value of fresh air than the ono that lias proceded. Within the past three years nearly fifty cities have established opon-alr eoliools for the benefit of tuberculous children, says the Boston Transcript, Providence began It and other mu nicipalities have followed on, though not all have developed the idea to the same extent. Doston, for .lnstanco, might profitably carry it farther than she has. Pawtucket, R. I., not only has a fine open-air school, but; pro poses to have at least one open-air room In ovory uchool building In tho city, where delicate children can re ceive the tonlo Influence which nature bo bountifully provides. A woman surgeon is attachetTto tho WllllaraHburg hospital in Now York city, having ben appointed because she surpassed ail male contestants In a competitive, examination. Bho had beeu an ambulance surgeon only n few hours when she had her first case. It was cold and raw, and the experi ence was anything but agreeablo, but the lady doctor was equal to the omer genoy and took excellent caro of the patient. And she says she has learned jiu-jitsu and Is not afraid of "drunks" and D. T. victims. That energetic lady appears to bo abundantly able to ac complish what she wished without go ing Into the suffragette business. The Newfoundland government hai refused permission to American fish ermeii to bur herring for tho purpose of lllllnar contracts. The request was made because of a poor Reason which prevented tho Americana from obtain lnK what they wanted la tho waten accessible to them under the torms ot The Hague decision, Newfoundland. Is within Its rights In taking such o stand. Still. It la not Indicative of th best or most neighborly temper, and the action seems to show that the re sult, of the fisheries arbitration hai not been accepted In the proper frame of mind. A Jury in New Yqrk, In the caeo ot a young wlfo Who had killed her hus band, brought In a verdict ot man slaughter only. Perhaps they felt that In the summary taking off ot partners sow- bo fashionable 1b domes tic cir cles, the woman ought to have some show. The United States says through one e! Its eourta that the hen la not a bird, but that as egg Is an egg In the ihell or out of It. Now It remains to be seen whether modern science will .put Uaele Sam la the clasa ot nature fakers or rank him ass an expert ob fowl decisions.

AY what you owo and you will vArvotio would mend ono. all would bo A Standard Bread. A all over our country, In county and state fairs, and In contests of all kinds the women and girls are bringing the work of their hands In sewing and cookery to be Judged we need to have & larger vision and a better Idea of standards. The vast majority ot women cook as their mothers did before them and often that knowledge is very limited aa the exhibits at the fairs will attest Take bread for example. The most eoiBinon article ot food made la our homes; hardly two women will agreo as to a good loaf, so our contests aro doing groat work In getting tho wom en to hco a loaf of bread which In the judgment of tho judge approaches) tho' Ideal. It is most Important that tho udgo should bo a qualified ono, as otherwise alio may hnvo a wrong standard. Ono judges broad In much tho same! way that grains nnd corn or stocks, aro Judgod. Tho shapely brown loaf, weighing pound, haa a domo-shapod, wolt-l roundod top nnd a rich brown crust showing that it has beon woll baked. Tho flavor should bo good, tho odor. swcol and nutty, with novor an odor of yeast and texturo ovon. Tho pores in bread should novor bo larger than n grain of wheat. Very llttlo yeast should bo usod. Tho kind Is Immaterial as "starter;" homo-mndo yeast, dry or compressed, all mako excellent bread when well mixod. This and the kneading is tho sccrot of flno-grnlned bread. Broad should bo kneaded until It fools springy nnd elastic under tho hands; usually It takes about twonty mlnutos. Thero Is a right way to knead bread, and if It is not well kneaded tho re sults will show It, To knead bread uso tho palms ot tho hands without a great deal of forco. Aftor each prossuro turn tho dough with . tho loft hnnd a quarter way round. In this way tho yeast plant nnd gases given off nro ovenly distributed. A loaf should rnlso until It is doublo Its bulk, nnd a pound loaf should bako from forty-flvo to flfty-flve min utes. !'S n Baying old nnd musty, Yet it . a ever now: "Tin never troublo troublo Till troublo troubles you. Care of Milk, Cream and Sutter. Thero nro two thlnns absolutely cs- sontial in tho caro ot milk products, and thoy nro both so Important that It la hard to know which should come first cleanllnosB nnd coolness. Milk that Is cleanly milked into sterilized palls and quickly cooled and kopt from tho contamination of germB in tho air will keep sweet for a long tlmo. Ono of our enterprising dairymen sent a bottlo of milk to Paris at tho tlmo of tho exposition. It mado tho ournoy ovor nnd back, a trip of 28 days, and was still sweet. Thero wns no preservative used, and tho only precaution wns to havo tho dishes and bottlo perfectly sterllo, cooling tho milk at onco and keoplng it all tho tlmo nt n low tomporaturo. This socinB a good while to koop milk sweet, but It shows what cleanliness nnd n low tomporaturo can do with milkt Tho best motbod for keoplng milk is to koop it from tho air, as many bacteria got Into milk from tho air. Tho bacteria in warm milk aro In tho ldenl medium for growth and re production. A varloty of bacteria re produce by division, and a generation ot bactorla may grow In 20 minutes. As thousands ot bacteria can playhtdo and seek through n noodle's oyo, ono can npproclnto tho number contained In a drop of milk. Thoy cannot grow and multiply if tho milk is kopt cool. In innking buttor ono of tho most' common mlslnkoa Is tho keoplng of tho crennr too long; such buttor lacks tho good flavor which Is tho most do- slrablo quality in butter. Another mlstako often mado by buttor makoro Is over-working ot but ter. Aftor churning and tho buttor la In lumps tho slzo ot kernels of corn, drain oft tho butter milk and wash tho buttor In good cold wntor to remove tho buttor milk boforo It becomes packed In a lump. It will need more washing In tho butter bowl, but work It as llttlo as posslblo. Overworked buttor has no grain and is salvey In appearance. Cut into tho buttor with a knifo nnd break off n pioco. It it breaks oft ltko broken steel It la of good toxturo. Beans at Their Beit. No two cooka quite agree on tho methods of making beans do their boat, and when aftor petting "and coax lug and nursing tho savory moss woll oiled and mellowed with' bacon boiled Into tho heart of It the proud cook will ask, after dishing out a quart or two for trial, "Woll, how do you Uko my beana?" an If by no pos sibility could thoy- be Uko any .other beans cooked In the same way, but must needs possess some special virtue of which he alone Is master, wrltos John Mulr In the Atlantic. Molasses, sugar, or pepper may be used to give desired flavors; or tho first water may be poured oft aud a spoonful or two ot ashoB or Boda added to dissolve or soften tho skins more .fully, according to various tastes and notions. But, like casks ot wtno, no two potfuls are exactly alike to every palate. Some are supposed to be spoiled by the moon, by some unlucky day, the beans having been grown on soil not suit able, or the whole year may be to' blame as sot favorable for beana, etc. iiKrtu Some Dress LITTLE finishing touches mako tho finished toilet and mark tho caro that is beautiful.

Lingerlo blouses will, of course. havo their devoted admirers and fill a conBtdorablo portion of our shirt waist boxes.

Tailored blouses often open down tho Bldp, and hand ombroldered makos thom a llttlo less sovero In. stylo, Cro cheted buttons make delightful taston lngs. With us still Is the wash-silk blouse In tho well-romembored striped of- focts, These may bo many colorB, nnd the blouses nro usually rather tailored In stylo.

Sho soon discarded that all sho got was a lot for her money, and it was not alt baking powder, for tho bulk of It was cheap materials which had no leavening power.
