WOnan'S Work.

A lady correspondent writing from
Paris notes with interest how in
Europe women fill positions which in
America are reserved for men. 1t is q
woman-not man-who ushers you
to your seat in the theatre, or who,
having shown you to your seat in the
hippodrome, places u comfortable
stool at your feet, for which she re-
turns to collect a gratituity half an
hour later. In many of the theatres
women have charge of the sale of seats
in the box Office. They wear dainty
white muslin caps with great red or
blue satin bows on them, and in their
neat gowns add much to the decora-
tive effect. If you drop the smallest
article they will restore it to you.
Just before leaving the theaore the
other evening one OF the ladies in our
party discovered that she had lost
her eyeglasses. "You will find them
at the box Office" said the young
lady who had brought our footstools.
The owner was rejoiced, for, as she
had been promenading in the foyer,
she supposed the glasses had been
trampled upon. The saying Nothing
is ever lost in Paris' fell true in her
case.

A PRAYER for Coffee,

During the war the people of Arka-
delphia, Ark, kept up the religious re-
vivals. Theyargued that the Yankees
might keep out the sugar and coffee,
but that they couldn't keep out the
Lord. Amongthe most fervent OF the
revivalists was old sister Boyle. with
out her no revival could hope to be g.
success, and whenever there was the
least drawback she was called upon to
pray. One night at a meeting the
mourners were slow in looming
through" Sister Boyle was called
upon. She took a position near the
altar, knelt down, raised her hauds
and said: "Oh, Lord, we are in great
distress. We have tried rye, Drowned
potatoes, parched corn, okery and
many other things, trying to get a
coffee taste out OF 'em, but, Lord, thou
knowest as we'll as we do that parched
corn an SIGH lacks a right smart OF
being coffee; so now, Lord, knowing
all this, please open the blockade and
let the Lincoln coffee pour in, and
Well praise thee early and late. -

Americans are that 50 large . percent. ],
age of our cattle are scrubs, aud the
need of Improvement Of horses. pigs,
and other stock il as great Is the want
Of good breeding in our cattle. It
would be . pleasure to do something,
however little it might be, to help to
convince the people Of the great impor-
lance of this matter. Ihope to be able
to gather from thousands Of intelligent
aud observant breeders q mass of evil
dence that will enable the press to
show the magnitude of the work breed
ers have done and the bearing that
work has upon the welfare of all classes
of people in this country. OF course
you know that good bull is a mission
airy whose influence may extend SO far
as to promote to = considerable degree
the bodily comfort and the physical,
mental. and moral advancement of the
people"
isn't that drawing it rather strong?"
Think so? Good breeding increases
the quantity and makes better quality
of the milk, beef, and other cattle pro-
ducts from given quantity of food.
This is profitable to the farmer. 1t is
also good for the consumer. If the
latter is a wage-worker he is benefited,
because anything that increases the
supply tends to lower the price of the
necessaries of life, aud any cause
which improves the quality of food
tends to improve the health and tenn
per and lengthen the useful life of
those who eat that food. A lessening
of the cost of the nccessaries of life is
equivalent to an increase of income,
and that means ability to pay for better
housing, clothing, and food, physical,
mental, and moral. Of these have
come and will come higher physical,
mental, and moral powers. With less
ening of want will come a decrease in
sin, crime, and shame, and in turn this
lowers the cost of policing. of courts,
prisons, almshouses, and all such evil
dences of inability to govern wisely.
Yes. I think a good bull may be very
good missionary indeed"
':Do YOU get many replies from
breeders?''
Eyes; every day brings large num-
Der. The breeders see readily that they
will be benefited by such a work. and
understand that it can not be carried
out successfully unless they give the
little aid ask of them. OF course
there are some who seem to be unwill-
ing to give the few minutes required to
help movement that, properly carried
out, will for years be q constant bene-
tit to themselves as well rs to all breed
ers of pure stock and to consumers Of
cattle products. Once in 4 while q man
shows that he fears that there is some
hidden purpose of injuring him; as. for
example, one who asked whether the
questions about the value of purely
bred and high-grade cattle were not
asked for the purpose of increasing the
taxation on such property. His doubts
suggest anything but extreme honesty
in making his returns to the assessor.
Of course no one has reason for fear.
ing that the department of agriculture
would permit giving to the public any
information of private nature, if
were inclined to do SO. All the answers
relating to any one breed will be used
in ascertaining general truths regarding
that breed. Chicago Times.

Census of Fine Stock,

During the present summer thousands
of breeders have received circulars ask
ing how many cattle they have of each
sex of the several established breeds,
what the age and value of the register
ed animals are, and several other qucs-
tions. In response to questions about
his purpose in sending these circulars,
Mr.. E. w. Perry, No. 234 La Sale
street. Chicago said:
The purpose is to show as accu-
rately as possible the present status Of
each established pure breed of cattle in
the United States. Age, sex, and pres
ent value of registered animals of each
breed should be gwen. This will af-
ford information of kind never be-
fore obtained about any important race
of stock in America-I mean impor-
tant as regards numbers. not as to in
trinsic value"
Cant this information be found in
the herdbooks?"
lit might be if those books indicated
in any way that certain animals are
dead; but they do not. To show the
pedigrees of these animals registered
for the first time it has been necessary
sometimes to record the names of many
of their ancestors of which some If not
all were dead at the time of registration.
No. the herd books give no Indication
of the number of animals in existence
of the whole number they record. But
q mere count of the number of register
ed cattle in the country is by no means
all that is desired. Part of the purpose
10 to note the most remarkable per-
formances of individual members of the
several breeds as to yield of milk, of
butter, of cheese. and of beef; then to
show as nearly as may be the cash val
ne Of the Improvement in quality and
increase in quantity of cattle products
resulting from the influence of good
breeding. This should show to the
farmer, the dairyman, and the beef
grower the true value of q good bull. :"
'.But this has often been done BY live
stock and other publications, hasn' it?"
HAS it been done often enough or
80 thoroughly as to convince the major
ityP The publications have done and
are doing excellent work in this field,
yet less than so per cent. of the cattle
az the United State have in their veins
the blood Of any Of the pure breeds,
md, indeed, it was only few weeks
ago that livestock paper declared
that no bull should be really worth /
forget the figure, but think il was about

there may b little or nothing new to
