woMAN.s BEST CHOICE.

DR.. Holland Taken TO Task for His Ad-
vice to Young Men.
The advice OF DIR. Holland for young
men to select wife from the female
society above them would be more valu-
able If the learned doctor had defined
in just what the wife was to be the supc-
rior. That he had clear idea in his
head seems manifest. But does hc
mean superior in social positionp Does
he mean that the coachman shall
always aspire to the brilliant and ac-
complished daughter of his employer
for wifep Does he mean that the
gardeners son should always aim to
win the Countess on tho ground that
love makes all things evenp Does he
mean that the Judge shall always pass
by Maud Muller for q lady OF high de-
gree-that the aim OF tho noble Lord in
the selection of wife shall be the
daughter Of a King-that tho young
mechanic should seek for his bride in the
home Of the coal kings and iron barons
and blue-blooded first familiesp If this
is his meaning his advice is worthless,
for in common everyday life such mar
riages. in nine cases out of ten, prove
to be among the most unhappy
and usually end in divorce. A man of
brains has u better chance for peace
and comfort in a marriage with a
woman who is a good-natured Ounce
than woman of intellect could ever
hope for in u union with an ignorant,
clod or thick-headed boor. The reason
is obvious. The man has the world of
business and society open to him for
tho pursuit of happiness. He need use
his home only as place to sleep and
eat, while the wife welded to boor
has lifelong sorrow, dead weight
of woe. and q penitentiary for home.
But the gifted women who have mar
ried inferior men and have had any
sort of q fair chance for happiness we
fail to remember, while Mrs. Hemans.
Miss Landon, Mrs. Norton, Fannie
Kemble and others stand out rs awful
warnings. DR.. Hollands line of adj
vice, if carefully followed by men.
might give comparative happiness to
them. Marrying above themselves in
wealth. social position. intellect and
piety might perchance not be bad as
world goes, but what of the women
who thus come down to wed mon of
low estate in each or all of these
thingsp In former days such stuff and
cant might have been accepted as sense
and wisdom, but nowadays no such ig-
noring of women will be counted as
gospel. A marriage to be really happy
must be q union of true friends and
real lovers, who have fair endowment
of reason and common sense between
them. Two fools with but single
thought will be happier in marriage
than an angel married to Tommy
Noddy. no matter what DR.. Holland
says. All the talk about "angelic
superiority" may be set down as cant,
or what the English call "rot. Pills.

FLOATING IN SPACE.
The Only Kind Of right Likely to he Of
Practical vTae.


Practical Use.
I believe that athletes such as those
who first obtained mastery over the
problem of the bicycle could very soon
learn to float, to ascend, to descend. to
ride upward, to soar and so forth, in a
way which would very decisively indi-
cate the possibility Of much fuller
mastery over the problem Of fight
later on. Experiments which have
been already made prove decisively
that mans weight can be supported
by planes or sails of very moderate ex-
tcnt--not much greater, proportionally.
to his body than an eagles wings-~if
only there is either rapid motion of ad-
vance OF strong current of air against
their slightly slanted surface. But these
experiments have not yet been so car
ried on as to show fully what can be
done when practice in the art Of balan-
cling in the mir and in making the adj
justments necessary for changing the
direction Of fight has been sufficiently
extended. Yet Mr.. Charles Spencer, n
teacher of gymnastics in England. was
able, after obtaining no greater velocity
than would be given by running down
a small incline, to sustain fight by the
supporting action of wicker wings for
distance of 100 feet. Besnier indeed,
toward the close of the last century,
devised q method of supporting the
body by pinions, which enabled him,
after sharp run to fly across river
OF considerable width. 1t is certain
that very little is to be gained from the
attempts which have been made to
direct balloons. The velocity which
can be given to n balloon in still air is
very small. A very moderate breeze
would carry q balloon one way despite
all the mechanical attempts to direct
it in another. let the balloon be shaped
us it may. Moreover. all such attempts
are dangerous, for the wind has a
great hold on the necessary large sur
face of a balloon, and going against the
wind would subject the balloon to de-
structive Influences Whenever man at
tacks the problem of flight, seeking real
advantage from its mastery, he will aim
at much more than such mere floating
power as the balloon gives-at more,
even, than the rapid floating motion,
with power of guidance, which may be
obtained by the experiments suggested
above. There must also be power
of energetic propulsion while still in
the air. This might be obtained by
suitable adjustments of levers to be
worked by man in actual flight. But
while believe flight to be possible for
man in this way, consider the only
kind of flight which is likely to be
really useful to men to be that of flying
machines propelled, balanced and di-
rected by some one or other of the
natural forces man has brought under
his control That man who has learned
to traverse the land more swiftly by
mechanical means than its most actual
denizens, and to make the wide seas
his highways by similar devices, should
be unable to travel in the air. which by
natural selection alone has become the
home of creatures descended from rep
tilian forms, is to me unthinkable.

WOMAN JOURNALISTS.
Some OF Those Who Flourished In tho
Eighteenth Century.

The first daily newspaper printed in
the world was established and edited
by woman-Elizabeth Mallet, in Lon
don, 1902. In her opening address she
said she had started newspaper to
'.spare the public half the impertine noes
which the ordinary papers contain"
Woman-like, her paper was reforma-
tory. The first newspaper published
in America of which we have any
record was in Massachusetts. 1t was
called the MGssn Gazette and Mewsletter.
After the death of the editor the widow
edited it in the most spirited manner
for two or three years. It was the only
paper that did not suspend publication
when Boston was besieged by the
British. In 1772 Rhode Island issued
it's first newspaper 1t was owned and
edited by Anna Franklin. She and her
two daughters did the printing and
also worked their printing press. His.
tory tells that for her qujckness and
correctness she was appointed printer
to the colony. supplying pamphlets,
etc., tn the colonial offices. She also
printed IN edition of the colonial laws
of three hundred pages. In 1776 Sarah
Goddard printed II newspaper and very
ably conducted it at Newport. She
traded under tho name of Sarah God
dartl & Co. In 1772 Clementina Reid
published and printed IL paper in Vir-
ginia, favoring the colonial cause and
greatly offending the Royalists, and
two years after another paper was
started in the interests of the Crown
by Mrs. H. Boyle. borrowing the
name of Mrs. Reid's paper. which was
the Virginia Gazette, but which was
short lived. Both papers We're pub
lshed in the town of Williamsburg.
The colonial newspaper was the first in
which the Declaration of independence
was printed. In 1873 Elizabeth Timo-
thy printed and edited o paper in
Charlestown. s. G. After the revolu.
tion. Anna Timothy became its sole
proprietor and editor. and was ap-
pointed State printer, which position
she held for seventeen years Mary
Crouch published paper in the same
town about the same time in special
opposition to the Stamp act She after
ward removed her paper to Salem.
Mass, and continued its publication for
many years. .-Stationer and Printer.

"A plan recommended to induce a

-Alsike clover originally came from
Alsikc. Sweden, and is said to be

Cream Cake: One cup sweet cream,
one cup sugar, two eggs. two cups flour.
two teaspoons baking powder, and flavor
to taste.
Teaspoons vary in size, and the
new ones hold about twice as much as
an old-fashioned spoon of thirty years
ago. A medium-sized teaspoon con-
tans about dram. Four teaspoons
are equal to one tablespoon.

One can in this way gather up some of

1t is q wasteful practice to haul
out manure in winter and leave it in
small heaps till spring. The manure
often heats and throws off the ammonia,
which is lost. If spread at once it will
not heat.

BEARDED BEAUTIES.
Women With Hirsute Appendages Who
Were Known the World over.

Were Known the World over.
Bearded women have always at
tracted considerable public attention
in France, and some interest therefore
attaches to the fact that the doyenne.
or eldest member of what may be called
the galaxy of Gallo femmes barbe,"
has just departed this life in little viii
lage in the Pyrenean department of the
Ariege. She had exhibited herself at
fairs for the space of sixty years, and
was supposed to be the woman who in
spired the celebrated cafe-concert re-
frain of Theresa. ''Cest moi qui suis la
femme barbe!' Her early successes
caused legion of imitators to spring
up, and women with boards and
whiskers were sought for everywhere
by speculative Barnums with as much
energy as was displayed by the agents
of Frederick the Great in their hunts
for giants who were to be enrolled in
the Royal Guards. The lady from the
department of the Ariege, however,
long held her own. because she was u
genuine article, while many of her
rivals were unmitigated frauds, who
were popularity supposed to have
either false whiskers or to have culti-
waited diligently their originally slender
hirsute appendage with artful un-
guents. Therefore she amassed little
fortune, on which she lived in comfort
in her native village for the past few
years. Nowadays Parisians, and even
provincials, have become rather tired
of bearded "beauties' s'-there have been
too many of them. One of the most
remarkable femmes barbe of recent
years was an Alsatian called LA Belle
Catherine" who used to make capital
not only out of her beard, but out of the
conquest of Alsace. She was won't to
say to her visitors in Franco-G German
jargon: ''Meissieurs ct mesdames, chat
suis femme q barbe ct chai obte (not
opte) pour Ia France" Catherine was
also considerable giantess, and was in
the habit of calling the attention Of
spectators tn the smallness of her ankle
as contrasted with the girth and vast
ness of her body. There is q curious
story told Of another bearded woman
named Jacquelin Doublin, who fell in
love with an actor She had seen him
In the Chatelet theater one night, and
from that moment she only exhibited
horsels during the day. When night
came she put on male attire and re-
paired to the theater, whore she con-
tented herself with looking on and ap-
plauding the man of her choice. One
night she was recognized, and the peo-
pie laughed at her, SO she rushed Off to
the barber's and had her beard shaved
and her face we'll powdered. Neverthe-
less, she was again recognized in tho
theater and was heartily hooted by u
cruel crowd. In despair Jacquelin went
home and died of broken heart
