What woman Most Need,

Speaking of the problem of female
education, the Nation remarked that
what women most need, next after
health and the power of acquisition,
and the confidence which springs from
having acquired something, is toIer-
able amount of administration on
small scale. 1t includes the falculty
of getting the most for ones money and
managing servants and children. If
it were likely TO be mans vocation
to the extent to which it is likely to
be a woman's he would be undoubtedly
prepared for it 10y some sort of appren-
ticeship. He would have to learn i'm
some subordinate capacity the proper
mode of buying and preparing food,
and of procuring and taking care of
clothing and furniture, and ruling ser
wants. He would he trained to receive
company by some experience in the
art of entertaining both i'm its materi-
al and aesthetic aspect. Noone would
ever guess, however, from an average
school course that girl was to be the
head of that most complex result of
a modern household, with /
its thousand duties, responsibilities
and relations.

There is boom in the air. 1T has

friend Charley Williams, of the Pearl
River Plow Works, too. His plows
We're always popular wherever known,
for they are the equal of the best plows
made anywhere, but they have of late
grown more in popularity than ever
and to keep up with the demand he is
working thirty-five hands, and short
of hands at that. He has already
sold 400 more of his plows this season
than he did last year. He turns out
1l5 complete plows from the stock
every day. Orders are being received
for the Williams pillow by every mail,
and we hope the day is not far distant
when he will have to double his pres
ent force in order to keep up with his
increased business. Here's to YOU
