On Friday week Capt. J. H. Drag
don and Mr.. Geo. W. Young left for
Boston to join the schooner J. b. Cool.
idge, which on Saturday sailed for
Savannah.
Quite a large delegation from the
town attended the Hancock Baptist AS
ISOLATION last week at Sedgwick, and
from the appearance one might sup
pose they had enjoyed such a rich
feast it would last year with a good
substantial lunch now and then. For
ourselves the repast was rich, mental
ly. spiritually, and materially, as such
gatherings never fail to be. where
names are forgotten.
We are panied TO learn that Mrs.
Abby Austin is not quite as well as in
the past week, and that her mother,
Mrs. Emma j. Mcfarland, was taken
home to Mrs. Austin's very sick with
a disease to which she is subject, heart
failure, but as We learn it is not so
severe as the last attack. we hope she
will soon recover.
Mrs. Della Berry and daughter, Miss
Nettie, who have spent the summer at
Bar Harbor, hav. returned horne.
Miss Leila NJ. Bragdon who has
also spent the summer at the same
place, made flying visit home of a
week or so. and returned on Tuesday
to spend the autumn.
Cranberry picking seems to be the
leading business just now. They are

Women in Australia.

A correspondent from Sydney, Aus.
tralia, writes to the Woman's Cycle
I'VE have several women's clubs here
the oldest, however, is that established
by Mrs. Lawson. editress of Dam,
who is an untiring and enthusiastic
worker for the higher education OF
women. Since the Public Works De
partment was thrown open to female
tvpewriters. there has been craze for
typewritiug, and it seems in fair way
to be overdoue. Women are employed
as clerks in several Of the city offices.
Quite lately the largest insurance office
engaged a lady as short hand and type
writing clerk. Another insurance office
employs six lady clerks. The principal
dentists here all employ lady assist
ants. We have one woman house deco
rator. Most of the Sydney papers en-
ploy at least one woman reporter or
correspondent.

Be a Woman.

OFT I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,
Urging him TO be a man.
But unto her buc-eyed daughter,
Though with love words quite as ready
Points she out the other duty,
"Strive, my dear, to be a lady"
What's lady? Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks, and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs'
Is ii one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
II It's this to be lady,
It's not this TO be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far
Than to be mere fashions lady.
Woman is the brightest star
Ii YOU in your strong affection
Urge your son to be true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be a woman.
Yes, woman, Brightest model
OF that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind and soul and body
Blend to work out lite's great duty.
Be woman, naught is higher
On the gided crest of time;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.

How the Chinese and Japanese Eat All

"They cut thoir food with their dag
gers, and they eat with pitchforks"
cried the Mortified Japanese who first
saw Europeans eating in such barbaric
and revolving manner with the knife
and fork.
Light-fngered, deit and initiative as
the Japanese and Chinese are, 1t takes
them as long to learn the proper and
graceful use OF the knife and fork as 1t
requires for US TO master tho ovolutions
and etiquette OF the chopsticks.
1t is q pretty sight at the beginning
OF a Japanese or Chinese feast, TO SEQ
the host help his guests to sweets, as
then is displayed the best and most
graceful play Of the chopsticks. One can
take lesson as the master Of the feast
daintily lifts cakes or CONNECTIONS and
places them on the plate or paper be-
fore each guest. The Chinese chop
sticks are longer than the Japanese,
often metal-tipped and decorated. and
are used again and again. Mandarins
carry their own silver-tipped ivory
chop-sticks TO feast wipe them clean,
and carry them homo again when
IL is over. In the common
restaurants in Chinese cities, the
chopsticks constitute lottery for the
patrons. All the sticks are kept
together In deep, round box, and GER
tain ones are marked on the lower end
with Chinese character or number.
The ones who select those chopsticks
from the box are entitled TO an extra

Facts of Interest Contained in the
May Report of the Secretary OF
Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
Secretary Rusk to-day issued a report for
May on the condition Of winter wheat, cot.
ton planting, the wages of farm labor and
freight rates of transportation. It contains
many facts Of particular interest to the
Northwest. In discussing the foreign dis
tribution of wheatand corn surplus the sec
rotary says that only about one-sixth of the
foreign export of wheat goes to other than
the European countries. In the last fiscal
year there were sent to all the countries of
Central and South America To per cent:
the islands of the seas rs per cent
and only 2 per cent altogether to
Asia. Africa and Australia Less than
100000 bushels, either as flour or grain,
represent the markets of three continents
and nearly two-thirds of the population of
the world. A single county of Dakota
could supply from its surplus this require
ment, and III any good season each OF five
principal counties could do it easily, viz:
Brown, Cass, Grand Forks. Penibina and
Walsh. and possibly each of several Others,
and vet all the back counties of the two
: Dakotas are forward in their search for
more markets OF more continents to con-
quer. 1t is an ambition that has already
seriously reduced the price OF wheat OF the
United States.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT,
Senator Davis Will Attempt to Place

Senator Davis Will Attempt to Place
Binding Irvine on the Free List,
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
Senator Davis will make a speech on the
tariff bill. He introduced an amendment
to the Mckinley bill to-day which was re-
ferred to the committee on finance which
proposes to put binding Irvine on the tree
list. Speaking Of the amendment, he said:
/ send to the desk an amendment to be pro-
posed to the bill to reduce the revenue and
equallZe duties on imports and for other pur-
poses. The purpose of the amendment is to put
binding Irvine on the free list. and desire to
give notice that at some time during the prog
ress OF the bill intend to submit some remarks
posed modified form which is considered by the
farmers OF the Northwest as oppressive exact
ing and extortionate.
The bill has not yet been discussed by the
finance committee of the senate, and the
statement that substitute would be re-
ported to the senate instead otthe McKin-
ley bill with amendments was at least pre-
mature. A leading member of the COM
mittee said to-day that the policy of the
committee in regard to the manner of
treating the bill would be determined
by the nature and number of amendments
or changes it was found desirable
to make to the bill as passed by the house.
Representative Carter has received tele-
grams from various sections OF Montana
congratulating him upon his winning fight
on the lead schedule in the tariff bill. The
last was from the Butte board of trade. The
lead lobby is making determined effort to
kill the lead tariff in the senate, but the
Western senators say they will have ma.
lOrity of seven for it. -.
