The Islands in rivers between states
usually belongs to one stuto or the other,
and are thus included in the state's juris
diction. If not, they are under the laws
of the United States. Rivers within tho

jurisdiction of the state, and crimes
committed on them are punished by the
state. The phrase, "high seas," includes
the entire open sea, the highway of all

Education is the true liberator. As
the brain of man expnnds his shackles
full. Ignorance has more power to
hold the spirit of man in bondage than
prison walls and links of steel. Know
ledge sets us five. It emancipates us
from the grovelling terroi-s of supersti
tion. It banishes the ghosts and golv
lins from the dark caves of Intellectual
night. It lifts tho mind abovo the
aottishness of beastly sensuality, and
teaches self-respect. Knowledge Is the
true panacea for the ills of life. It Is
the Elixer Vltw and the Philosopher's
Stone. Therefore, oh syboritic Bon of
Adam, with all your getting, get
wisdom. Punxsutawney fyririt.

Two buildings are going up. Behind
one is a plan, carefully thought out,

He persistently runs his saw, shoves
Ills plane, and pounds with his hammer.
He has something of a building to Bhow
for his pains. What a difference,
though, between it and the other build
ing! What makes tho difference?
Brains, thought, a plan. What kind
of a character are you building, young
man? How are you preparing for the
active duties of life? Are you building
in a hap-hazard way, or have you your
plans all laid and building a character
that will not only be substantial, but
also beautiful.

Senatorial district composed of Indiana
and Jefferson counties, convened at
Marlon Centre, July 12th, and after

adjourned to met at the American Hotel,
Brookville, on Tuesday, July 20th.

Wo hear a groat dent nowadays about

writes Edward W. Bok in "At Homo

Home Jimrnnl. But I notice that the
women who are agitating the question
are not the gentlewomen of this country.
No, my positive friend, you who will
rise at this and say that these other
women are under the subject of their
husband and nre afraid to sjicak. This
Is not so. These women have found a
warm and tender plaice In tho heart of
their mankind. They have found the
secret of "managing a husband," and
you have not. Prate all you like,
agitate all you wish at cluhmcctlng and
nt women's gathering, but the secret
will not thus be found. The place to
learn how to manage a husband Is not
at the meeting of your club, but In
your home, at the side of your husband
and with your children. "That's the
old-fashioned Idea," said a punitive
woman contemptuously to me the other
day. Yes, thank Clod it Is, iny friend,
and it would lie belter for the happiness
of hundreds of women lo-day if they
would 1x a little more old-fashioned in
this resiiect.

A pigeon flying experiment at Tours
has ended in a most remarkable man
ner, proving the shocking fact that the
useful birds, in addition to being ex
cessively greedy, are also given to an
overindulgence in strong drinks. Four
hundred and twenty-nine pigeons were
conveyed by train from Tours to La
Bohalle and there let loose. To the as
tonishment of the various societies in
terested in the experiment, only forty
returned home, and these were in
dazed condition, and quite incapable of
finding their respective quarters.
, An inquiry resulted in the discovery
that at a roadside station large con
signment of black currants had been
put into the same van as the birds. The
inebriating qualities of the currant
juice proved too much for the little trav
elers, and they were quickly in inch
condition that only a small proportion
were sober enough to find their way
back to Tours. Exchange.
A Strang Illrd In the Plgaon's Nt,
, Harry Francis, a boy of thirteen
years, living on Pratt street, had a Leg
born hen'a egg given him, which he put
in charge of two male pigeons. The
birds sat upon the egg until within two
days of the time for it to hatch, when
they deserted it. The boy placed it
under another pigeon which was already
sitting on two eggs, and Sunday a little
brown chick burst its shell.
The foster parent fed the little stran
ger pigeon fashion.which method seemed
to puzzle the chicken, making it amus
ing to watch them. The newcomer's
language appears to be a mystery to the
pigeons, but tbey treat the little fellow
