German agricultdrists have discovered a
use for the much despised horse chestnut.
They dry, or rather bake them. and, whef
thoroughly free from moisture, feed them &c
their cattle, sheep and pigs, also TO deer and
bears. In the dried state these chestnuts
crushed. are considered both wholesome snd
nutritious, even more so than acorns Ac
cording TO chemical anslysis they contain az
much az Ga per cent. OF proteine. ana Al per
cent. Of fatty matter. Sheep are not glyer
more than ono kilograrn Per day; mich cat

Woman's WAY.

Whenever the question is brought
up for discussion. and the relative
merits of the respective sexes agitated,,
an irresistible plea in favor of female
labor rests in the fact that women as a
class are far less rebellious, turbulent
and difficult to deal with than men.
They rarely combine against higher
powers; are generally content with
whatever remuneration capital sees fit
to give them, being in the aggregate
of SO accomplishing and peaceable n
disposition that in factories, or wher-
ever it is possible TO utilize their in.
dustry, employers are only too pleased
to have them supcrsedc and displacc
the men. This is a pregnant subjcc:
with material for many an eloquentdis-
course, showing that the ready and
unquestioning acquicscence of women
is merely the natural sequence of ages
of absolute suppression and depend
ence. When digniied body of fe-
male employees agree on grievance
the cause must be genuine, and when
they unite in well considered and
womanly fashion TO right the wrong.
their effort is deserving at least of re-
spectful attention. N o. Times Demo

INTERESTING TO WOMEN.

THERE is large organization with
many branches. in England, called the
Young Woman's Improvement Society.
Mr. HENRY SHIRK, of Baltimore. has
given real estate TO the value ot $685.
600 for the use of the new woman's
college in that city.
ONE of the most succe ssful of orchid
growers is young New Jersey woman,
who, finding herself in Strengthened
circumstances few years ago, began
Horticulture in small way on lit
tie piece of pine land. Now she
has taken her younger sisters into
partnership and is doing big business
IT is in the last degree unlikely that
all men would ever vote one way and
all women the other. As Prof Stuart,
of England, said, it is like asking what
would happen if everybody in London
should want TO take the one clock
train for York on the same day. No
railroad could stand such strain; but
no railroad would ever be required to
stand il. 1t is one of those things
which simply do not happen.
''THE position that woman can no,
properly vote because she can not fight
for her vote efficiently, is precisely like
the position of ffcudalism, that she could
not properly hold real estate because
she could not fight for it. When
any community is civilized up to the
point of eniranchising women, it will
he civilized up to the point of sustain
ing their vote. as it now sustans THEN
property rights. Col. T. w. liggu-
son.
A FEW years ago, when the Legisla-
ture of Connecticut was discussing n
woman suffrage bill, member arose
and denounced the bill, and added: 81
don't propose 10 make man out oil
my wife," Mr.. Cleveland. another
member, replied: "1hc gentleman
doesn't propose to make man out OF
his wife. 1t would be a blessing fol
the country if his wife could make a
| man out of him. The shot was 50
well deserved that the House went wild
over it, and for long time business
was suspended. -Iowa Tribune.
"CATHARINEC COLE" lays that since she
began to write for the New Orleans
Ricayunc, six years ago, there has
been grea; change in the way work
ing women are regarded in the fal
| South. At first, women who worked
for living were thought to be out oi
their sphere; then for time they be-
| came the fashionable "craze;" and now
they have ceased 10 attract attention.
and their right to work is accepted n,
n matter of course. Catharine Cole
own example and influence have mi'
doubtedly helped TO bring about this
beneficial change. She received many

TWO WORDS TO THE TIMlp.
Sensible Suggestion for Sensitive
Women.


1 was about to head this article "A
Word to the Timid." but on consider
alton | find there are exactly double
that number. The two words referred
TO are, Don't care"
That is the solution of the whole
difficulty. When you are very much
afraid of any thing you generally do
care a great deal. Now, if, by an effort
OF the will. you can pretend that you
don care, the mouth of the cannon,
or OF the setting hen, or of the SANDER
er-three OF the awfules: mouths with
which l am acquasnted-.s at once
robbed of two-thirds of its terrors.
Imagination il at the root Of all our
fears. The big June bug, which goes
booming and buzzing and humping
about the ceiling. with the self-impor-
tance so characteristic of insignifcance.
would not frighten you at all if you
did not fancy that he was going to
tangle in the mcshes of your hair, or
try to go in at one ear and out at the
other Take the advice of a person
who used to be just as scared at those
things as you are, and who. by reso-
lutely pretending that she doesn't
care. has escaped great deal of ncrv-
Gus suffering. Don'tlctyourself begin
to care.
Imagination can create no evil which
determination can not prevent or cure.
When your particular John or Thomas
is absent of an evening, do not allow
yourself to be cxpectant at ten, apprc-
hensive at eleven. hysterical at twelve,
and nervous wreck by one. The
chances are that he will return before
two with clear and satisfactory at
count of the way he spent the evening,
and the reasons for his delay. 1t is all
very reasonable and sensible, and he is
naturally impatient and displeased
with you for allowing visions of horri-
bic accidents and midnight murders to
dance through your head, but you pos
sibly needed one experience of this
sort to prove to you that not all the inn
aginary evils in the world are worth
the price of good nights untroubled
sleep.
Don't be afraid. 1t is hard TO be
courageous, but we can at least assume
n virtue if we have it not; and let us
hope that the appearance of courage
may, like some of the diseases spoken
of by our ancestors. eventually "strike

Tribe has good features, n skull mod
clel like that of white man, and q
complexion about rs dark rs that of
the Italians. They werc great slave
Traders in the old days. but they made
specially of the finest grades of cap
tivcs, and but few of their own num-
oer were ever transported. 1t is
SAID that shipload Of them was once
landed on the coast OF l. ,uisiana, and
'nat the Crcolcs, refusing TO believe
lhcm darkics, set them free and hung
the slavers.

Schultz is a unique character. He is fifty
two years old and since 1917 has at times

rheumatism and he has suffered the most
.rcruciating torture since. In walking 10
his work, five squares from home, he once
consumed an hour and half OF time. One
day his sister found him writing in con-
vulsons in his room and tearing his bed
ding to rags. II was found that he had
twisted one hip, his elbows, fingers md
knees clean out OF position. 1t took two
powerful men TO hold him while two
strong armed surgeons pulled his dislo-
Gated joints into place, and then they failed
10 restore them as they were before, and
Schultz has been awry ever since. A few
months later the toes OF both fect were
disjointed by rheumatism. Now the big
toes are where the little ones belong, and
the other toes are 10 the side, His knees
and elbows look like compound joints, and
unsightly ridges cover tho knuckics Of
both hands.
