Notes For the Fair Sex.

The proposed university for women
at Baltimore, under the aupices of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, will
doubtless be established, as $135,OOO
of the 100000 requisite, is already
subscribed.
The Indiana State Board of Agricul-
ture has increased the amount OF
premiums for the woman S department
from 5000, as offered last year, to
81, 900. The increase is for the pur-
pose OF securing exhibits representing
the business interests of women. By
vote of the State and Delegate Board
of Agriculture, the entire management
of the upper floor of the exposition
building has been rendered to the
Woman's State Fair Association.
This is certainly high tribute to the
Judgment and executive ability OF
women.
Are there not women who fill our
vase with wine and roses to the brim,
SO that the wine runs over and fills the
house with perfume; who inspire us
with courtesy; who unloose, our
tongues and we speak; who anoint Off
eyes and we see? We say things we
never thought to have said; for once,
our walls of habitual reserve vanished,
and left us at large; we were children
playing with children in a wide field OF
flowers. Steep us, we cried, in these in
fuences, for days, for weeks, and we
shall be sunny poets, and will write out
in many.colored words the romance
that you are-Emerson.
1t is becoming serious question all
over the world what occupation to put
the young women at who, for any
cause, fail to enter the marriage state.
To our notion, there is no calling SO
admirably adapted to the feminine
genius DIS that OF dairying-perhaps
not in its broadcast sense, as Including
farming and stock-raising, but certain
ly in the way of making cheese and but
ter. II We had a bright young girl left
to our care with the understanding
that we were to find an occupation for
her, and she had no personal objection
to the occupation, we would certainly
advise her to. make q, first-class cheese
or butter-maker Of ~herself-not that
she need do the work with her own
hands, for a knowledge OF how to teach
others is far more valuable than the
single work ofany indiyidualcan be-

An Enterprising Lady.

During a trip through California,
this Summer, we stopped at q neat
farmhouse, where there was every
comfort and luxury of q home.
Among the members of the. family
was q daughter Is Or - years old.
In the morning we were invited to see
the work in which the young lady was
engaged. We found complete and
successful fowl-raising establishment.
A number of small Enclosures with a
capacity ofF4O fowls each, had been
made. There was q little house in the
center of each Enclosure The whole
cost OF the Enclosures and houses could
not have been more than 5000. With
this Investment she was raising i 900
chickens, and g. perfect swarm Of ducks
and turkeys, all in perfect health. r.
A breeder of fancy fowls had sent out
200 of his choice chicks to be reared,
for which this young lady is to receive
81 SO apiece, or $500. Without any
Unforeseen accident this little estab-
lishment wifi net its brave owner from
$3.50 to 81, 900 this season This is
better than competing with q China
man in a hot kitchen over burning ba-
con and cabbage. At is better than to
struggle with the needle for q fashiona-
Bile living ina field already overfull,
and it is a thousand times better than
sidleness in shabby gentility. What

How to Manage Children.

One great secret in managing young

which produces such miserableresults.

The grazing AREA is becoming circum-
scribed; the people, the meat con-
sumers, are rapidly increasingi in NUM-
bers. Populous countries do not raise
enough meat for their own consump-
ton. State and National legislation
in this country favors the small holder,
and thus a population ultimately for
which it will become impossible for the
lands divided and subdivided into
small holdings to furnish an adequate
meat supply. Mexico in course of time
seems likely to become the breeding
ground in place of Texas. The old
Spanish land grants which have come
down for hundreds OF years unim-
paired offer unbroken, tracks in large
areas suitable for breeding and: feed
ing, and already American Capitalists
are inspecting and buying the best
grounds.
If that country becomes a new Texas
the trail and transportation will be-
come even more important problems
than now, and quarantine, as now, an
| incident.
In any event meat must gradually
advance, whether rapidly or not de-
ponds upon the wisdom Of the legisla-
ton.

weakness for chickens is we'll under
stood in the parish, and in making his
rounds the other day Mrs. Jones upon
whom he called, drew him out on the
subject OF his big flock of young chick
ems. When he had enlarged upon
them as only O. chicken fancier can,
Mrs. Jones informed him that she had
saved up nearly half a barrel of stale
bread, which she asked him to send
for as feed for the chickens. The pas
tor said he would be glad to do so,
as it was just what his little peppers
delighted in.
HE proceeded with his calls, and
among others called upon a. second

aristocratic Of all his -parishioners.
His visit was a pleasant one,s and he
was full Of it when he returned home.
Reverting in his own mind to thelady

take q bushel basket and 90 over to
Mrs. Jones, and get the bread she had
promised for the chickens. The boy
moved promptly, but in the absence

the bread. 81:
The lady, to whom the question of
chickens had not been mentioned, and
who had parted from her pastor only
an hour before, was astonished at the
demand and size of the basket. The
boy insisted that his father sent him
for bread for the chickens, md the
lady hunted her cupboard and pantry
over and gathered every crust, not
more than a handful in all, and sent
the boy on his way, she thinking the

STATEMENT.

TNHE undersigned, Committee of Di-
Il rectors OF the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report:-
1st-The Society issues all the approx
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine po-
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by In
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and a surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death
3d-Ihc premiums on TOntine po-
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu-
mulated profits In cash at the end of n
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
ne can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperence shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine pc.
licies approximate to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, SO that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tally is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as
sUrance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business, the
funds judiciously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
0th-The Society has since its organi-
cation transacted larger amount Of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present yer is $1,750,00O larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $GO,0o0,0o0; over $l4 OOO,-
600 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

STEAMSHIP VS.. RAILWAY TRAIN.

1t seems rather absurd to talk
about steamship beating a railroad
train in long-distance contest, but
it begins to look as though it might
happen. 1t is already a fact that
the fastest boats on the transatlantic
lines make almost as good time as
the Pacific Railroad lines do from
the Missouri river TO the western
coast. From Omaha to San Fran
cisco, by the Union and Central Pa
cific lines, is a distance of 1928
miles, or about two-thirds of the
distance between Queenstown and
Sandy Hook. The schedule time
by the fastest train between Omaha
and San Francisco is Lightweight
hours, lacking ten minutes, which
makes the average rate of speed
under twenty-five miles per hour.

The LICK TELESCOPE.

New York, Sept. l2-The Tribune
has the following: On the steamer
Belgerland which arrived yesterday
from Antwerp was Professor Simon
Newcomb of Washington with his
wife and daughter. They went
directly home on the afternoon train.
Professor Newcomb's family has
been abroad for three years. He
left this country in July to bring
them home, and to visit the great
observatory at st. Petersburg to see
about the disks for the telescope
ordered for the Lick Observatory in
California. Chatting with your re-
porter yesterday he said: 1.-The
notable item of news which l
gathered at st. Petersburg was the
fact that the Gar has ordered the
award of great gold medal to
Alvin Clark & Son of Cambridge,
Mass, who manufactured the glass
for the great telescope in the Russia
Observatory at Pultowan. This
medal is rarely awarded. 1t is the
first one ordered by the present
Car since his accession to the
throne. There has been some delay
in striking it, as he desires to have
his own bust on it, and the engravers
have required time to perfect it.
My special mission to Europe was
to see this telescope. The mount
ings were made by the Rapsolds of
Hamburg. | examined the instru-
ment thoroughly, both as to its
structure and working. 1t is large,
and the finest refracting telescope
in all its points that has ever been
made. The working is admirable
in every respect. visited Paris to
see if they had finally succeeded in
casting the rough glass for the Lick
Telescope. They have succeeded.
The order was given over four years
ago. The firm in that interval made
several unsuccessful efforts to cast
the glass. A pair of disks have
finally been made. They are both
to be shipped at once to Alvin Clark
4 Sons, for final grinding and
polishing. l advised that both be
sent so that the optician might make
his choice. The maker is Fiel of
Paris. The disks are thirty-nine
inches in diameter. They will be
six inches larger than the disks of
the Pultowan Telescope. The Lick
instrument will be tifty-fve feet
long, monster, and the largest re-
fracting telescope in existence. -

which "beat the record" made an
average across the Atlantic of 455
miles per day, or almost exactly
nineteen miles per hour. The steam
ship has thus come within three
miles an hour of the transcontinental
train, and, as the time of the ocean
passage is being steadily cut down,
it looks as though one would before
long cross the Atlantic as rapidly as
he can get across the western part
of the Continent.
