FEMININE WONDERS IN
KANSAS.

The young Kansas farmer goes out
into the field at daylight, and by night.
fall has cribbed $50 bushels of corn.
The young mans sister can play the
piano, do the house-work, and in the
| busiest time goes out with the men and
does so much work as to astound her
best friends. A pretty Dickinson
coun'y girl, aged IS, drove a self blu
der over 1 200 acres and took care of
the four horses hitched to the machine.
During the spring she helped to plant
I2o acres OF corn, did the house work
| for family Of seven, went to ten dances,
tried twice to elope, taught the most
interesting class in Sunday school, and
now talks of going to Africa as miss
ionary, and says If the Lord speaks
| loud enough she will go among the
lepers.
A Brown county girl looked after her
fathers grape patch often acres, picked
the apples on 1000 trees, and when
her male parent pocketed $4,000
from the sale of the fruit did not ask
| for any of the money-because, she
knew she wouldn't get penny. She
believes in the Alliance principles, can
play tennis, row a boat, or ride the
widest horse IN the county.
Another young woman living in
Irving township worked in the harvest
| field as well as man, herded cattle
and sheep for several summers, and
this winter will teach school. She has
three young sisters, who are following
in her footsteps.
The bright daughter of "squaw"
man on the reservation wants a white
husband-and she is worthy Of one.
Her sister married an Indian, and her
father gave them farm and a curse.
He thinks the unmarried one is too
good for an Indian. She has taught
school, driven race horses and won,
has never been beaten in uade, equ-
ais any man in the country in f.etness
of foot, can shoot with the best of them,
and would work her hands off for her
parents sake. A Lincoln county girl
got her father to give htr a farm and
lives on Il looking alter eighty acres
without help, and last year cleared ST.
900, besides buying clothes, machinery,
and stock This year she has a girl
friend for a companion and hired
man.
A woman 60 years old has farmed
near Notawaka with continuous success.
Her place is small, yet she makes money
and gives literally to the needy. She
never leaves her farm except TO attend
the meetings of woman's suffrage So
ciety.a
A Hiawatha woman who has a hus-
bard helpless from rheumatism has
kept him and large family of children
by directing work on an eighty acre
farm. Sne is Jealous worker in
church and Sunday school, and says
she owes no one a cent. Her farm
and buildings are in better shape than
those of her more fortunate neighbors.

FACE YOUR TROUBLES.

81 had plowed around rock in one
of NV fields for five years." said a
farmer, "and | had broken a moving
machine knife against it, besides losing
the use of the ground in which it lay.
all because thought it was such large
rock that it would take ,oo much time
and labor TO remove it. But this time
when l began to plow for corn l
thought that by and by l might break
my cultivator against that rock so l
l.oak a crowbar, intending 10 poke
t0I
around and find out its size once for
all. And it was one of the surprises of
my life to find out it was little more
than two feet long. 1t was standing on
its edge, and SO light that could lift
it into the wagon without help"
"The first time you really faced your
trouble you conquered it," replied
aloud, but continued to enlarge upon
the subject to myself, for l do believe
before we pray, or, better, while we
pray, we should look our troubles
square in the face.
Imagine the farmer plowing around
that rock for five years, praying all the
while, 40, Lord, remove that rock !"
when he didn't know whether it was
rock or little fat stone.
We shiver and shake and shrink,
and sometimes do not dare to pray
about trouble because it makes it
seem SO real, not even knowing what
we wish the Lord to do about it, when
if we would face the trouble and call it
by its name, one-half of its terror
would be done.
The trouble that lies down with US
at night and confronts US on first wax
ing in the morning, IS the trouble whose
proportions we do not know.

HARD UPON THE CLERGY.

"It seems that in Prussia people
who are desirous to be divorced are
not allowed to petition until the par
son of the district has given them
both good talking-to. If he fails
to persuade them to make it up,
they may apply to the courts
Is not this rather hard upon the
parson? 1t is like making a joiner
come into a house and argue that
his work sticks together, when it
notoriously does not.

Her lnfatuation aor the Jersey general and
her enthu'i asm in the cause of the royalists
cost her 5000. 600, which she directed shou d
be used to defray the ex Dc nses of Boulang-

was influenced TO secure the support of the
anarchists for Boulangism. She first met
the little anarchist at the bedside of the
dying woman. She was attracted by the
tenderness OF the forlorn little wonaan's
heart and subsequently called on her. The
sequel of this curious relationship came
when Boulanger presented himself for cleo
ton on Jan. q, 1889.
Il do not love your Boulanger," Louise
Michel then wrote to the duchesse, ''but for
your sake will not attack him. On the
contrary he will have the suffrage Of my
friends"
The duchesse's affection for Gen. Boulan-
ger is supposed to have sprung from her
confidence in his perso al courage. A few
months ago she had in her salon the busts

HALIFAX. February 26-The Allan steamer
Manitoban arrived this afternoon, seventeen
days out from Glasgow after rough passage
In which she encountered the frightful
cyclone which swept the Atlantic on Thurs
day last, when two Of her boats were stove.
Capt johnson reports that on Sunday, the
10th, in latitude 47o 46', longitude $40 2l', he
saw signals Of distress. He bore down ana
found the French steamer Nantique, former
ly the Quebec, OF the Dominion line, from
Havre, thirty days out for Baltimore. The
Nantique was floating coffin. lying in the
trough of the sea and completely helpless.
Capt. Dragoone reports that they left Havre
January 18th and experienced all the fright
full hurricanes which had swept the Atlantic
since that date. The ship was so knocked
about and strained that on the 24th she
sprung leak under the engines. All the
pumps were set going On the 30th. she was
on her beam ends. The engine fires were
drowned out and from that date to February
10th she was completely helpless and at the
mercy Of the waves. The water gained
steadily and 1t was only question OF time
when she would founder. Life RATS were
noon Sunday and laid by until 10 o'clock.
During that time all the crew and effects Of
the Nantique were transferred TO the Mani
toba except the captains chest and money
which were lost overheard. Even the two
cats were saved. One hour after the Nam
tique's crew were safely aboard the Mani
toDan the Ill fated ship went down head first.
The Manitoban had a frightful experience
on her passage. She lost several boats and
everything movable on deck and had over
200 head OF cattle drowned or killed.
Steamer Gottenburg City arrived this
morning from London. She had heavy
weather and steamed around the southern
edge OF ice for 130 miles, having been steer
ing due south for IS hours to escape the
heavy 1eld Ice which was dotted with numer-
oas. icebergs, being obliged to go beyond
latitude 43o.
Steamer st. Pierre, from st. Pierre, arrived
at n0on. Capt. AngrOve reports a heavy
field Of ice the entire passage. He brought
as passengers the crews Of two Gloucester
vessels, the Massachusetts and Agnes,
wrecked near st. Pierre. There were twenty
four men all told In both crews and they
were, sent to Boston by steamer Halifax
which sailed today.

FOUND THEMSELVES OUTDOORS.
Thirty.five Persons In a Building
When 1t Became Kincling Wood.

CINCINNATI, February 26-All the ele-
ments of disastrous flood in the Ohio river
seem now to be present. Continuous wet
weather has saturated the earth so that the
excessive rainfalls of the past three or four
days have all found their outlet in the tribu-
taries of the river. Along the entire valley
of the Ohio the rainfall has been enormous.
From the Kentucky side Big Sandy river
comes with boom, almost unparalleled.
while the Kanawha river, further up. also
pours out its swelling volume. The Scieto,
Hockhocking, Muskingum in Ohio, as we'll
as the two Miamis, keep the river bed full,
while rise is coming down the head waters.
The rise, since a. m. yesterday, for "a hours
is over seven feet, and the gauge now shows
40 feet inches in the channel. About five
feet more will begin the interference with
railroad traffic, and every inch after that will
increase the trouble as well as cause the ele-
yaton of great quantities of goods in all the
bottom portion of the city. At Hamilton,
Ohio, the Big Miami was higher last night
than it has been for ten years. The water
had entered the Straub House, one of the
principal hotels of the city, and many houses
were submerged in part
In many places the heavy rainfall was at
tended with high wind. AT Keathley, Tenn,
the bank building belonging to Winslow,
Fisher & Baird, was blown into splinters.
Ihirty-five persons were in the building at
the time, OF whom about six were more or
less injured, none fatally; George Kitchiner
thigh severely bruised; E. o. Cross Of
Proctorsyille, VT, had his right leg crushed
at the thigh; Geo. Thatcher of Middlesboro
had an arm broken. DIR. Hudgings of Kn OK
vile. Tenn, was severely injured in the
eyes and had both legs and an arm broken.
At Marion, KY, there was a severe wind
storm. The court house was unroofed and
partly blown down. and the records badly
damaged. The opera ROVsSI waSf unroofed'
