The characters that are great must, of necessity, be characters that shall be willing, patiet, and strong to endure for others. To hold our nature in the willing service for another, is the divine idea of manhood, of human character. Mary Church Terrill is doubtless the most accomplished Negro woman in America. She was the first woman appointed on the board of education in the District of Columbia, and not long ago when she went to Berlin to attend the meeting of the International Association for the Advancement of Women, she surprised the entire assemblage by being able to deliver her address in three languages. She was formerly from Memphis. She now devotes much time to lecturing on subjects concerning the welfare of the Negro race. Publication Notice. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.

"Sugar has modified the history of Europe and of the world in more ways than one," says a writer. "Used four centuries ago, almost exclusively in the preparation of medicines, and long afterward an article of luxury only accessible to the rich, it has by enlarged production and cheapened manufacture been brought within the reach of all. The universal use of this practically pure carbohydrate, which is not only a freely burning fuel and proteid sparer, but a muscle food, increasing the power of doing work and lessening fatigue, must have had widespread and beneficial effects on Publication Notice.

I. F. BRADLEY, Atta, for Pliff. Attest: Wm. Needles, Clerk Charles De Kay, the well-known art critic, has some pertinent things to say in Broadway, concerning Americans as art collectors. "New York," he writes, "to those who are in the way of hearing about works of art in private hands, is a constant surprise by reason of the treasures that unexpectedly appear. American collectors are independent folk in some respects; they are apt to shun observation in their projects; they dislike to buy things which have been much exhibited. Moreover, they are singularly shy of each other, in a way jealous. They hold aloof, one from the other instead of taking counsel, as if they were afraid to be thought to lean on another's opinion and were pursued by the idea that a fellow collector might snatch the prize from under their noses. Sometimes their scepticism regarding objects offered them by dealers in New York is comically offset by the ease with which dealers in London and Paris mulet them of great sums. The case in point was a tapestry offered to a certain very rich man in New York for sixty thousand dollars $60,000)—and declined. He went to Europe and bought a set of five tapestries of the same period (old Flemish) for the tidy sum of six hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($625,000). But in this set of five, there were two pieces which were no other than the single tapestries offered him the year before for sixty thousand dollars ($60,-000). This tapestry had been sent back to Paris, cut in two, the halves provided with borders like the other three and the whole set of five sold to the same millionaire for one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000) a piece. It is generally agreed in Washington that Viscount Siuzu Aoki, ambassador from Japan to the United States, is the spunkiest diplomat ever seen there. When the viscount made his first call at the state department to protest against the separation of the Japanese from white children in the San Francisco public schools there is said to have ensued the most heated colloquy Secretary Root has ever had with a foreign diplomat. The ambassador of his imperial majesty was wroth all through and he let the calm-tempered Mr. Root know it without mincing words a bit. Mr. Root forthwith communicated with the president and the result was the immediate dispatch of Secretary Metcalf to San Francisco to look into the situation carefully and make a full report to the president. Viscount Aoki's wife is a German of high birth and he seemed to feel that the treatment accorded the children of Japanese at San Francisco was a personal insult constituting an international incident of grave portent. What species of animal lives to the greatest age is a question that has not been satisfactorily answered, but an official of the National zoo at Washington asserts that a giant tortoise, recently brought from Mauritius to the London zoological gardens, is probably the oldest living creature whose age is positively known. This tortoise which weighs a quarter of a ton, has lived at least 150 years, as historic documents prove. The same authority avers that 100 years is a good old age for an elephant, and no other animals, except certain birds and reptiles, reach half this span of years. But in 1821 a tortoise died at Peterborough, England, whose age was said to be 220 years. One instance, at least, is known of a tortoise which was still growing when 30 years old.

Attest: By I. F. Bradley. Atty. Wn. Needles. Olerk. Dec. 7 Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bread Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titanian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What Money Will Do.

A Welsh judge had before him a case in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to 'embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns—I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World. Building Up to Requirements. A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract. "This little shack you are building," said the real estate man, "lacks a whole lot of beitg a 1,2500 house such as you agreed to AMERICAN HAIR GROWER BEFORE USING PIOTURES TAKEN AFTER USING FROM LIFE.

Because its employees were late a London house provided a book in which the tardy ones were to write excuses. Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp. Example of the Postage Stamp. The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." Think What a Family Then!

Mean- time they had heard we were coming, and had taken train for Albany. ‘They refused to meet Garfield, wio then Suggested that I see them and make any arrangement that would bring them into line. I saw them, and they at first declined to believe in my as- surances of Garfield's good faith. ‘Gentlemen,’ I said, ‘1 Pledge you my word as a man of honor that Mr. Gar- field made me that promise, and T will undertake to see it carried out.’ “It was then understood among us that Conkling and Platt should con- trol the New York patronage, and it was with this assurance that they worked for the ticket. Grant came back from the West and took the stump with Conkling, and everything was done by Platt and Conkling as agreed. You know what happened af- iter the election. But there ts one thing you do not know. It is true I went to Albany again—I did so far descend from the dignity of my office as to go to see Platt and Conkling—but I aid not go to conciliate them. It was worse than that—much worse, I went te their order to come and explain |why I had not made good my pledge.

Tarbell reports an extraordinary ac- count of Abraham Lincoln given her by a Springfield (1.) man who knew the president intimately for years and years . Miss Tarbell permits the man to tell the story in his own simple way —without interruption, Here is a part of the report of a trip to Washington to see the President: “Well, I had a brother in Washing- ton, clerk in a department—awful set up ‘cause he had an office—and when I got down there I told him I'd come to visit Mr. Lincoln. He says, ‘Wil- Ham, be you a fool? Folks don't visit the Fresident of the United States without. an invitation, and he’s too Yusy to see anybody but the very big- gest-people in this administration. Why, he don’t even see me,’ he says. Well it made me huffy to hear him talk. ‘Isaac,’ I says, ‘I don’t wonder Mr. Lincoln don’t see you. But it's. dif- ferent with me. Him and me is friends.” “Well,” he says, ‘you've got to have cards anyway.’ ‘Cards,’ I says, ‘what for? What kind? ‘Why,’ he says, ‘vis- itin’ cards—with your name on.’ ‘Well” I says, ‘It’s come to a pretty pass if an old friend like me can't see Mr. Lincoln without sendin’ him a piece of pasteboard. I'd be ashamed to do such a thing, Isaac Brown. Do you suppose he’s forgotten me? Needs to see my name printed out to know who Jam? You can't make me believe any such thing, and 1 walked right out of the room, and that nieht I footed it up to the Soldier's Home where Mr. Lincoln was livin then, right among the sick-soldiers in their tents. “There was lots of people settin’ around in a little room, waitin’ fer him, but there wasn't anybody there 1 knowed and i was feelin’ a litte funny when a door opened and out came lit- tle John Nicolay. He came from down this way, so I just up and says, ‘How'd you do, John: where's Mr. Lincoln?’ Well, Jobn didnt seem over glad to see me, “Have you an appointment with Mr. Lincoln?’ he says. “No, sir? I says; ‘I ain't, and it ain't necessary. Mebbe it's all right and fittin’ for them as wants postof- fices to have appintments, but T reckon Mr. Lincoln's olf triends don't need "em, so you jist trot along, John- nie, and tell him Billy Brown's here and see what he says.” Well he kind @ flushed up and set his lips together, but he knowed me, ana so he went off. In about two minutes the door popped open and out came Mr. Lincoln, his face all lit up. He saw me first thing, and he laid holt of me and shook my hands fit to kill. ‘Billy,’ he says, ‘now Tam glad to see yon. Come right in. You're goin’ to stay to supper with Mary and me.’ “Didn't 1 know it? Think bein’ pres- fdent would change him—not a mite.” Bran and Clover. A mess of finely cut scalded clover, with bran, will be relished by all classes of poultry, especially if it is fed in a warm condition on a cold day. Bran contains a fair proportion of the phosphates, and for that reason may be used with the ration in order to render it more complete. It is not ad- visable to feed it in a soft condition if it can be used by sprinkling it on cut clover that has been scalded al- though a mess of scalded bran and ground cats, early in the morning of a cold winter day, is very invigorating and nourishing. Four pounds of bran, mixed with one pound of linseed meal and a pound of ground meat, the mess slightly dampened, and fed to the hens once a day, allowing half a pint of the mixture to ten hens, will greatly add to the egg-producing materials. As a food for chicks bran should always be scalded and allowed to stand for an hour or two in order to soften, and it will then give good results, especially if mixed with equal parts of corn-meal. ‘The clover and bran will be found a chezp ration, and should be allowed at least once every day.

A NARROW ESCAPE A NARROW ESCAPE By Helena Davis. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. The snow was packed as hard as dint and as smooth as glass. The sun shone genially, but accomplished very little thawing. There was no wind, thus making the sweater ideal to be out in if one loved coasting and skating and did not mind a taste of frost. Soon after breakfast Bricktop and The Twins decided to go to the river skating. As the finest surface on the river was about two miles from town by road, the children decided to make a short cut through a big cattle pasture that bordered the river. Several times lately Bricktop, in company with other boys, had gone through this same pasture to shorten the distance to the river, and, as he told The Twins, not a cow nor a calf had they come in contact with, so there was no danger of meeting with formidable horns—The Twins being so afraid of cattle—Bricktop declared. Half a mile from town they left the river road and climbed over the high board fence that inclosed the pasture. Walking was rather difficult here, for the tall grass had caught the snow in little reefs, making it deep in places and shallow in others. And, as the crust was not everywhere frozen sufficiently to support the children's weight, their progress was rather slow. "I guess we'd have made time by following the road," said Bricktop. "Shall we go back and continue that way?" "Oh, I like this pasture," cried Lettie, her face shining from the cold nips it was receiving. "See, yonder goes a rabbit. What fun to be in the country, where there is no road nor travelers." "Yes, I think the same, sister," declared Bettie, her face full of happiness. The Felt That He Must GIVAL M. GIVAL He Felt That He Must Be Calm and Keep His Wits "All right, kiddies," said Bricktop. "If you don't find the road too heavy it's good enough for me. And we'll see a lot of squirrels in that bunch of timber yonder at the foot of the hill. The last time I was through here I counted five bushy tails on one tree." looked at him. Then Bricktop knew then one course to pursue. He may keep up these surprises bull, for only about 20 feet arated him from the ferocious Should he try to climb t "They must have been having a party," suggested Lettle. But just as she finished speaking a strange and dreadful noise tell on their ears, and, turning their eyes in the direction from which it came, the three little Perkins saw to their horror a great bull, head down and pawing the earth, some quarter of a mile distant. He was giving vent to short snorts and furious bellows, and the children could see that his eyes were fixed upon them. The Twins grasped their brother's arms, gasping out: "Oh, Brick, what shall we do—what shall we do?" The color left Bricktop's face, but his nerves remained steady. "We must reach that tree at the foot of the hill," he said calmly, but hurriedly. You Kiddies go ahead of me—run as fast as ever you can—drop your skates and fly. I'll be with you, but I must remain behind you to keep an eye on that bull who is preparing to come for us. We've got the advantage in our favor if we don't stumble. Now, go and climb that low tree—the first one to your left." The Twins, as well as Bricktop, threw their skates to the ground and started for the tree. Bricktop remaining behind the girls to watch the bull. They hadn't taken many steps when, with his head to the earth, the bull bellowed more fiercely than before If you would study the various vegetables, fruits, etc., as to the medicinal qualities in remedying ailments, there would be less demand for the doctor's services. It would not be difficult to remember that fruits and vegetables (tomatoes) and came towards them with all his speed. But, to Bricktop's relief, he saw the bull flounder in a snow drift, which retarded his progress. "Hurry, Kiddies, hurry!" he urged, himself running with them. "He's in a snow drift which will take him a minute or so to get out." The three ran with all their might, but as has been told, walking was somewhat difficult over the uneven snow, which in places let them through the crust. So, if the bull was delayed by the drift, the children were also prevented from making great speed. As they ran for their lives they could hear the bellowing and snorting coming closer and closer behind them. Once Bettie's fear almost mastered her, and she must have fallen in the snow and become a victim to the raging animal so close behind had it not been for Bricktop, who grasped her hand and fairly pulled her over the ground, calling out words of encouragement whenever he could get his breath to do so. At last they reached the tree, but the bull was coming at full tilt close upon them. Bricktop lifted Bettie in his arms, telling her to grasp the lower limb and drag herself up. She was quick to obey and was soon climbing on up to give her sister room below her. The same way Lettie was helped to mount to a safe limb, fully eight feet from the ground. But she had scarcely reached safety when the snorting, bellowing bull, was so close that, had Bricktop at the moment attempted the tree he must have been fixed against its trunk with the long, sharp horns. Realizing his awful danger, the boy turned quickly and manaced the animal with his overcoat, which he had pulled off as he ran. For a moment the bull, as if surprised at his conduct, stopped, head up, and be Calm and Keep His Wits. looked at him. Then Bricktop knew there was but one course to pursue. He must in some way keep up these surprises to the bull, for only about 20 feet now separated him from the ferocious animal. Should he try to climb the tree he would be lost, for two bounds of the beast would bring him upon the boy, who now faced death, but faced it without a quiver. He felt that he must be calm and keep his wits, otherwise he would be a dead boy within a few seconds. He waved his coat again, but this time the bull prepared for an attack. Then Bricktop hurled the coat into the air in such a manner that it came down full in the bull's face, sticking on his horns and covering his eyes. "Now! Now!" cried Lettie and Bettie, in one agitated but hopeful voice. "Come up, brother; for heaven's sake, be quick!" But Bricktop did not need the Twins' urging. Like a cat he went up the tree, and when half a minute later the mad bull had tossed the coat from his horns and looked for his prey, he found it gone. With blazing eyes he looked at the three children, who were for the present perfectly safe, being comfortably seated among the great, closely interwoven limbs fully 10 feet above ground. For a little while the defeated animal showed his resentment by pawing the earth and bellowing. Then he would dash at the tree as if to hook it; but knowing full well that such contact would only injure himself, he would withdraw some few feet away again and resume his pawing and snotting. heat and are a good substitute for meat in winter.

"I'll keep a close watch on the road," said Bricktop, "and will signal the first person I see." "But the road is so far away, brother," sighed Lettie, also becoming numb with the cold, which was quite intense up in the tree. "But, look at brother," exclaimed Lettie, suddenly realizing that he was without his overcoat. "If we're cold, what must he suffer?" And she was for having him take her warm fur boa to wrap about his neck, which, of course, Bricktop only smiled at, declaring he was not so cold as he was impatient to get down to earth once more. "Ah, there comes a man on horseback!" Bricktop cried, pointing down the road toward town. "I'll have to use my lungs now to some advantage. And you, Kiddies, must help me. We'll all cry 'Help! Help!' as soon as the horseman gets opposite us in the road." They did not have to wait long, for the horseman was coming at a brisk trot. When at the point in the road nearest to the little ones in the pasture he was hailed by three lusty voices. 'Help! Help! Help!' came the cry, and looking across the pasture the horseman saw, to his great wonderment, a boy and two girls leaning forward from the bare branches of the tree and calling out at the tops of their voices, the while waving their handkerchiefs. It only took one look for the man to realize the situation. "Three children treed by a mad bull," he said, under his breath, for the bull was still lingering near the tree, continuing to bellow and paw at intervals to keep his little prisoners informed of his nearness. The horseman signaled to the children that he would have them liberated from their unpleasant predicament as soon as possible. Then he rode off at a gallop toward the house of the farmer who owned the pasture. Pretty soon the three Perkinses, to their great delight, saw two horsemen coming across the pasture and within a very short time the bull was driven away, his owner coming back to assist the children from the tree and to ask them to his house to get warm and have some refreshment before returning to town. Bricktop thanked him and their kind deliverer and was glad of the opportunity to go to the farmer's house for food and warmth. Getting his overcoat—which was not much the worse for having been tossed by the bull's horns—he and the Twins set off across the pasture with the farmer, who walked beside them, leading his horse. Their skates were found where they had thrown them half an hour before. "I don't think we'll care for skating today, shall we brother?" asked Lettie as they went along. "Why not?" laughed Bricktop. "We aren't hurt in any way, and I don't see why we should miss our skating on account of that old bull's mad disposition." "You're a brick, young man," said the farmer, slapping Bricktop on the shoulder. "Well, that's my name, and I can't help being one," Mr. Perkins, Jr., replied with a smile. "He's a hero," replied Bettie, proudly, to which Lettie nodded her head emphatically. Million Dollar Diamond in a Mati Bag The American Magazine contains an account of the gord's greatest diamond—a stone recently found in South Africa. In connection with the description of the finding of the gem the following interesting facts about transporting it are brought out: "This record stone was not, as might be supposed, sent to Europe in a ship of its own. So prosalaic' is the civilized commerce of today, that this vast treasure was merely sailed up in a tin box registered as a 'postal packet' and sent through the malls as though it were a worthless geological specimen! It was received at the London office of the Premier Diamond Mining company, Ldt., and measures were taken at once to insure it for about half its approximate value—say $2,500,000."

The story is told by a man who knew Lincoln intimately throughout the whole period. Here is a picture of Lincoln's last appearance in Springfield. Sharp Rebuke for Women. Jospehine Daskam Bacon in The American Magazine sharply rebukes women for their alleged failure to cooperate. She calls the chief business of women "the worst managed business in the country." Here is the charge: Until women are willing to co-operate in aiding each other to find good housework and the houseworker to "Of course he seemed pretty cheerful always. He won't no man to show out all he felt. Lots of them little stuck up chaps that came out here so talk to him said, solemnly as owls. He don't realize the gravity of the situation. They's their words, gravity of the situation.' Think of that, Mr. Lincoln not realizing. They ought to heard him talk to us the night he went away. I'll never forgit that speech—nor any man who heard it. I can see him now just how he looked, standin' there on the end of his car. He'd been shakin hands with the crowd in the depot, laughing and talking just like himself, but when he got onto that car he seemed suddint to be all change. You never seen a face so sad in all the world. I tell you he had woe in his heart that minute, woe. He knew he was learnin' us for good, nuthin' else could explain the way he looked and what he said. He knew he never was comin' back alive. It was raisin' hard but when we saw him standin' there in bare head, his great big eyes lookin' at us so lovin' and mournful, every man of us took off his hat, just as if he'd been in church. You never heard him make a speech, of course?' You missed a lot. Curious voice. You could hear it away off—kind of shrill, but went right to your heart and that night it sounded soider than anything I ever heard. You saw I always hear it to this day, night, when the wind howls around the house. Ma says it make her nervous to hear me talk about him such nights, but I can't help it; just have to let out. 'He stood a minute lookin' at us, and then he began to talk. There ain't a man in this town that heard him that ever forgot what he said, but I don't believe there's a man that ever said it out loud—he cann't, without cryin'. He just talked to us that time out of his heart. 'O how we felt all of a suddint how we loved him and how he loved us. We hadn't taken any stock in all that talk about his bein' killed, but when he said he was goin' away not known' where or whether ever he would return I just got cold all over. I began to see that minute and everybody did. The women all fell to sobbin' and a kind of groan went up, and when he asked us to pray for him I don't believe that there was a man in that crowd, whether he ever went to church in his life, that didn't want to drop right down on his marrow bones and ask the Lord to take care of Abraham Lincoln and bring him back to us, where he beonged.

Cheerfulness is a sign of sanity. It is the person who has no laughter, no Josephine Daskam Bacon in The American Magazine sharply rebukes women for their alleged failure to cooperate. She calls the chief business of women "the worst managed business in the country." Here is the charge: Until women are willing to co-operate in aiding each other to find good houseworkers and the houseworker to find good situations, and realize that their present selfish pushing and bribing and concealing and deceiving are bad business as well as bad morals, they must expect to suffer the punishment reserved for selfish individuals and everywhere—anarchy, discontent and shameful failure in the business in hand. "I do not mean by co-operation a general feeble good will. I mean the abandonment of pet individual domestic habits; the sacrifices of a definite amount of time each week and month; the willingness to ask and answer detailed questions; the strength of mind to forego certain private advantages that would follow withdrawal from one's pledged word to a community and a class; the courage to go without a great amount of ease one might get by mere accident to insure a fair amount of ease pretty certainly to a large number. Take one practical instance of what I mean. Any woman who has answered the advertisement of another woman 'who wishes to place a good servant' and met that woman in her home, has either had the advantage of a valuable conference with her and found a good servant or failed to cumber herself with an unsuitable one; or she has confronted from two to six women on the same errand; all glaring at each other, all competing for a presumptively able worker. There is no better way to get a good servant, in my opinion; it speaks well for maid and mistress. But means that the mistress gives up a portion of her time her houseroom and her information to an employee of no further use to her and a prospective employer whom she does not know. How many women do it? "But this means work." "Of course it does. It means committees of inquiry and estimates and adjustment, all the energy in fact goes into women's club's, to take advertisements from billboards and chloroform indigent animals and run church fairs and elevate the slums and teach the Indians lacework and the negroes bookkeeping—anything, in short, but the systematization of the chief business of women, which is the worst managed business in the country." Prince Alexander of Battenberg, who comes of age this year, was a great favorite of his grandmother, Queen Victoria. She forgave him many a prank, including one which all but lost her majesty's favor. While he was at school he wrote asking her for some money. Victoria, with characteristic thrift, answered saying that little boys should keep within their limits and that he must wait for one payment of his allowance. Shortly afterward the undefeated prince resumed the correspondence as follows: "My dear grandmamma, I am sure you will be glad to know that I need not trouble you for any money just now, for I sold your last letter to another boy for 30 shillings." The last few years Emperor Menelek has been an unusually strenuous ruler. Recently he was so interested in having the railway between Jibutil and Addis Abeba finished that he commanded 5,000 of his soldiers to lend their assistance to the work.

The figures taken from commercial reports and the percentages of waste calculed by domestic science experts show that $193,140,000 is lost annually careless buying, unscientific cooking and other domestic extravagance. The School of Domestic Science sums up the cause under several heads. Among these the half dozen follows are selected by the Tribune as most prominent: 1. Buying provisions by order of telephone instead of seeing them. 2. Buying prepared foods. 3. Buying fruits and vegetables of season. 4. Taking goods as offered by dealers instead of insisting on quality brands and cuts wanted. 5. Loss on weight, wrapping an attractive glasses, cans, etc., in food is put up. 6. Lack of expert knowledge of of meats and of how to cook least pensive things to bring out values in good taste. "The thing which the average home keeper figures upon as most important now is her time," said Miss Lyford, the School of Domestic Science. When she buys so as to save this she has to figure against it not only of money, but loss of nourishment. Again, you have to figure if it is better to spend more money and more nourishment." Two women were talking of the tite chicken pies that are bought at delicatessen shop. "They are only 18 cents and the apiece is plenty," said the first house keeper. "But the crust is greasy and not nourishing, and besides we have been used to have a great dish of chicken pie from which we would up our plates a couple of times least, and each time more than the whole of your one little pie." Of the gain in the old-fashioned plan of going to market instead of ordering by telephone or by the order boy, the woman of the school cannot speak to strongly. Said Mrs. Wagley the secretary: It is a matter of fact that your room will cost more if you order it than does if you see it weighed. The butcher may prove perfectly honest and you may have him for years and years and not find a fault if you go and get things yourself. The minute you begin to order, however, the total of your week's bill will be higher. "Another advantage of going to if your butcher does not happen is flave the cut you want, you simply easily can walk to another place out any talk or argument about Many housekeepers do not do this it is the most logical thing in the world to do. You ask for a certain thing hasn't it. You say nothing, but go to another place to get what you have cried upon." One of the things which Mrs. Wagley considers it absolutely indispensable she to see out his hamburger steak which she says should be cut off and wanted and put through the grinder. The kind that is ready prepared will have scraps and trimmings put in it. One reason for the common habit of ordering is given by the housekeeper in the fact that in the majority of markets the fresh goods are not brought up until nearly noon, and this leaves the housekeeper no time to market but in the middle of the day. To this is an tributed the crowding of markets just before dinner, when it takes an at most impossible time to get waited on. Why He Looked that: Way. A Northern man visiting in a Southern town announced that he could tell a man's political tendencies by looking at his face. His auditors looked at one another with incredulity. "Well, I seldom make a mistake You," he said, indicating one of the group about him, "are a McKinley man." "That's' right," said the man referred to. "You," pointing to another, "are a Cleveland Democrat." "Yes, that is so," answered he. And the crowd began to sit up and take notice. "You," addressing a third, "are a Bryan man."
