If In Ohio recently a gTouri of women t. xecuted rather rough-handed justice ( on a certain George H, Ward, a prosperous pros-perous farmer of Roscoe, Madison , county, who cruelly beat his wife, and when she died, largely as the result of i I his treatment, dug her grave himself in order to save the expense. As the I 1 wife had filed a petition for divorce the e i story of her persecution was known. I and accordingly sixteen of her women j ; neighbors met at an appointed place I with bupgy whips and when Ward came from the funeral lashed him un- merciffully. at the same t'ne condens- I ing their opinion of him Into cries of '"Boast and Brute." This unique man- I per of expressing public opinion on the t wife beater is perhaps superior to beat- I i ings administered by public officials. but the pity is the avengers did not do i their chastising while the wife was still I '.ilive. 1 I j Washington's War on Impure Milk. I S An interesting development ." in the f 1 war upon tuberculosis being, waged by ; f the health department of the District i "f Columbia is the practical barring of ; ' New York milk. A milk commission j j headed by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief j f hemist of the deoartment of agrcul- ! Ture, has been appointed which it is ex- : j'octed will enforce draKic regulations, ; nd the New York and Pennsylvania producers have been required to fill out certain blanks which give the facts as i to sanitation, ventilation, light and i other such matters, in the dairies from j which the milk is shipned into Wash-! higton. It is reported that one of the I largest dealers in New York City has j replied that' compliance is entirely out i of the question and that he will dis- f continue his shipments to Washington, I as he can easily find ready sale for his ' product in New York. This is rather I J sharp criticism on the lax methods of f inspection in New York City. It is, j however, an encouraging sign that some I I of the members of that admirable or- iranization, The Peoples institute, are taking a keen interest in a pure milk uppl and by way of bringing it to p:iss have apnlied pressure as voters '.o those aldermen who held up the Freeman Grifcnhagcn milk ordinance offered no substitutes.

How to Dress the Hair. It is an utter impossibility to lay down any set rules in regard to becoming be-coming hairdressing. Of" course, if latest models are the only desire this accomplishment may be fulfilled by watching the hairdressers' windows, but there is no better school for study than one of the large, better class department de-partment stores, where the young mo-man mo-man employes usually display good taste in arranging their hair," and though they frequently err by going to extremes, their coiffures are. generally practical. This is another great point that is not always Considered in models such as are seen at the theatre or other oth-er public gatherings where :there are well dressed -women, 'for the styles of hair dressing worn at fashionable places often are decidedly smart, but when attempted by an amateur are often of-ten entirely different, especially when the hat is added. Now, young women in snops usuany iry to iook smart on i the street, and it goes without saying, must look neat and attractive as possible pos-sible when in the, stores, so that there is no better school for the study of hairdressing than a. large department store. Imitating the Masculine. She jumped on the car while it was still moving and plumped herself down heavily into a side seat, so that her leet extended half way across the aisle. When the conductor came for her fare she pulled a ticket out of her pocket and, regardless of the attention she was attracting, nonchalantly asked how near the', car went to Pemberton street. When her street was reached she jumped off the car as she had jumped on and walked away with a pronounced stride. Her dress conformed entirely to her actions. The only part of her attire which could not have been worn with perfect propriety by a man was her skirt, and that was as short as possible. Her coat was an ordinary man's rag-Ian, rag-Ian, in a light tan; her hat a man's gray crush hat, whose only concession to custom was one small and incon spicuous hatpin. Her hair was parted and gathered into a tigtu knot at the j back. Her white shirtwaist was as near to a shirt as it possibly could be and still retain a shirtwaist. She wore a high white linen stock and from one pocket of her coat protruded a large handkerchief, from the other a pair of heavy dogskin gauntlets. Her shoes were thick and the soles cx-tendede cx-tendede half an inch all around. And, to crown it all, she wore a seal ring on . her little finge ! Spanish Heir Born. Spain was aflame with emblems of joy last Friday. The prince of the Austrian, Aus-trian, the heir to the throne of Spain, was born shortly before 1 o'clock that afternoon. Within five minutes the announcement announce-ment was flashed to every point in the kingdom where telegraph wires are strung. As the" royal flag was flung to the masthead on top of the palace the guns in the fortress began to boom a salute to the new prince. Every person per-son in Madrid stopped at .the first shot and breathlessly counted. Would the gunner fire fifteen and stop, announcing announc-ing the birth of a girl, or proceed to twenty-one, proclaiming that a boy-had boy-had been born. At the end of the fifteenth shot the great city was as quiet as the grave. Then the moment of silence was broken by the cannon's roar for the sixteenth time, and a shout like the' roar of all the oceans rolled into one wave and breaking on Gibraltar, rose from the city. The peonle did not wait to count twenty-one. uney knew mat the child! vas a boy as soon as the sixteenth' gun i was fired.. - Immediately all Spain broke into revelry, with the abandon of the Latin race. Victoria's future happiness is assured. Had the child been a girl the peculiarities of the race would have made, her husband's people turn w ith animosity toward her. Now she is the idolized queen of their hearts. Alfonzo is the name given to the infant, in-fant, and so he will bo christened. Iast week the queen gave signs of the approaching ap-proaching .-vent and messengers were dispatched 16 the prime ministers and court dignitaries, who gathered at the palace. Early Friday morning the doctors doc-tors announced that the queen's condition condi-tion was normal and satisfactory. The king remained at her bedside. At S o'clock the kind canceled a meeting of the council of ministers. By 10 o'clock functionaries representing the nobility of Spain had gathered in the apartments apart-ments set apart for the official ceremonies. ceremo-nies. .The child was born at 12:45 p. m. and'the announcement was immediately immediate-ly made, to the assemblage. As soon as the child was dressed it was placed in "a little basket upon a golden salver.. The king, bearing the precious burden, presented his son to the prime ministei, who officially declared de-clared its sex. American Minister Collier was among the officials present. Evtii .the; rooms in the royal palace at Madrid; which the infant will use have been arranged and furnished. They are situated immediately above the private apartments of King Alfonso end Queen Victoria Eugenie. With these apartments they communicate by way of a small staircase. The rooms are a night nursery, a day nursery, a dining room and a bathioom. Many "wonderful and beautiful gifts for the heir already have reached the palace. . Pope Pius has blessed the beautiful and costly layette, which was made by the most skillful nuns in Rome, and Queen Victoria has herself chosen a magnificent satii. pillow of pale rose color on which the baby will be laid when it is formally presented to the court. All the convents in Madrid, too, have been hard at work preparing dainty, diminutive garments. Six dozen chemisettes, chemi-settes, exquisitely embroidered and trimmed with Valenciennes lace, have been made by the Sisters of Mercy; while the Sisters of the Sacred Heart have contributed eight dozen dresses, all trimmed with the same costly lace. To the Convent of St. Catherine belongs be-longs the honor of providing the cradle linen. King Alfonso having himself designed de-signed the monogram used. She Knew. There is a certain cooking school in the loop district where, every day in the week, large classes of girls convene for instruction in the gentle art of raising rais-ing the dou?h. Last week a class of thirty rather impractical im-practical girls, as most of them are, was studying the doughnut scientifically. The teacher pointed out just why some doughnuts were healthy and others not. I've forgotten (he reason, but I guess it depended on the amount of grease, or the kind of grease, or something like that. Anyway, I know as much bout it as the ret of Ihe class. One of the dullest pupils in th? class, who never could learn to boil water without burning it. was rather inattentive inatten-tive while the teacher was lecturing on "sinkers." Thinking to catch her and administer adminis-ter a rebuke on her inattention, the teacher suddenly broke off and asked: "Miss Smith, what is the healthiest part of the doughnut?" "Miss Smith straightened up, flushed up, stood tip and 'replied: "Why why, the hole,. I believe." A Clear Identification.

As the visitor had not given his name he was somewhat curious to see the entry. Calling for the register, he read: "Mr. Russian Leather, coming from Warranted."
