A New Device for Shaving Paper.

At last there is something new in shaw
ing paper. At least this is the business aJ
which | surprise Otero. She wore a de-
mure gray dress and vas curled up on an
ottoman. In her lap she held a quantity
of white tissue paper, which she cut deity
into circles. When she had a little fiutter-
ing heap of disks all of a size she ran il
through the middle with darning needle
followed by a length of baby ribbon, knot
ted at the end.
Then she smoothed and folded and
coaxed these flamboyant skirts to lie down
modestly. and whipped them inside Of
rough linen paper cone, or bell, with hole
in the top, 10 let out the ribbon 20 hang it
by. The cone was laced down It's side with
baby ribbons, and the dark little dancer
seemed TO find "a much fun In playing
with it as a child with a new toy.
II was painted with struggling chrysan-
themums, but for the art work Otero WAS
not responsible. The bell was given to her
by a woman artist ready To I'LL. The bells
are made sometimes of celluloid and some
times of isingiass, and it is not strictly
necessary that they be painted, rosettes
of baby ribbons with hanging ends, when
perched at the top so as TO drop over the
sides, answering very tolerably. New York

SUGGESTIONS ON FARMING.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Winter is the season of the farmers
vacation; respite from anxious, busy
care. Surely, no one needs it more. lie
is not bothered with pOndrOus ledgerS
in casting up and balancing accounts,
invoicing stock on hand; of a thousand
things, to know how and where he
stands. His ledgers are in the barnyard,
consisting of horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep. His wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley are safely stored in his capacious
granaries. He knows, to peck. how
many bushels there are of each variety;
he also knows, to dot, what the entire
lot is worth. If he has money to make
up, he knows Just where his backing
firm and solid-stands, and he selects
from that which may have the best mar
ket value, to make up the required sum.
With plethoric purse and tranquil
mind, he can either sing or whistle
Yankee Doodle" as he goes forth to
meet his obligations.
The past year has been as prosperous
with the farmers as with other
callings. notwithstanding the unusually
light corn crop; prices have been
remunerative ali along the line of farm
products. The outlook for the coming
season is an suspicious one for all hands;
wheat could not be in better condition.
There vet remains some rubbish-effects
of the late boom-to be cleared away.
This will be done as the tide of normal
prosperity moves steadily along the track
of legitimate business pursuits. In con-
nection with the daily care of stock and
minor chores on the farm, there will be
sufficient leisure time for reading the
papers and considerate arrangement for
the spring and summer campaign on his
fertile acres of land. Due caution should
be taken that plans are not drawn too
large; it would be much safer to clrcum-
scribe than enlarge the area of cultIva-
ton. In deep blowing and thorough
cultivation may be found the Key To sue
cess in growing a crop OF any KIND on
our fertile soil. 1t Is well known fact
to every intelligent observer that too
many farmers undertake TO do more than
they can do well and as sequence their
reward is small. Our climate being
somewhat given TO arldity, especially at
times when crops are growing, there
cannot too much emphasis be given to
deep blowing. By putting the pillow
down, followed by clean cultivation,
there is immunity from failure by
drouth. Another bad practice too much
in is that of blowing under large guam
titles of trash. 1t prevents impaction OF
the surface mold with the subsoll; cuts
off capillary attraction of moisture from
the soil beneath, and very frequently
CROPS are ruined from this cause. IN
dOubtedlv very many never thought OF
such a thing, nevertheless 1t IS true Cos
pei, easy to be entreated Of.
There are so many things to be said
that must be deferred. Ii would be inn
pertinent to ask of our genial editor too
much space for a single communication
Should this escape the waste basket, we
will in behalf Of farming and the holy
cause, call again. D. w. BRoCKwAY.

Women, being so much more limited in
their field Of work, are driven to exercise
their ingenuity for the purpose of finding
OPPORTUNITIES that men have no need to
look for. One of the most curious has been
that of an honest German woman on thu

the death OF her husband with family OF

call nudels. These are made by rolling

WILL BE VETO IT?

The following incident, related by the
Washington correspondent of the Chica-
go Tribune, will probably allay some
what the apprehension felt by the
friends and supporters of the pending
silver bill, that the president will veto 1t
if it shall pass the house as it came from
the senate:
He was waited upon by delegation OF
citizens and asked to veto a bill which
the chairman of the delegation character
lied as a bad measure. The president
replied: Il often sign bills passed by
congress for which l would not have
voted if in congress. hold that it Is
not sufficient for president to be OPP
posed to a measure to venture TO inter-
pose his veto. ! believe that the veto
power is only properly exercised when
some acts has been passed by congress
without sufficient deliberation or care,
or where some manifest error has been
committed. do not see how the presi-
dent has the right to set up his judg-
ment against the manifest will of cong
ress, when that will has been expressed
in a thoroughly deliberate manner. after
careful consideration of the subject, and
where no manifest error or encroach-
ment upon constit Itionalrights has been
made"

WOMAN AND HOME.
TtiE PROGRESS or WOMEN AND THE
CHANGE OF THOUGHT.

A Plea for the Dowry-Don't Correct .
Nudels--A New Device for Shaving Pa
per-woman's Real Weakness.
The gradual emancipation of women
which the last fifty years have witnessed
shows very clearly that, of its two pioneers
of the last century, the woman who relied
upon her instinct better understood the
exigencies Of the case than the man who
was wholly ruled by reason. Condorcet
insisted upon the immediate accom- plish-
meut OF the great end OF the new move
ment. Mary WOllstonecraft would have
urged rather the adoption, one by one, Of
the means which must eventually lead 10
it. The consequence is that today, when
the political sphere in which Coudorcet
would have placed women has only just
been opened to them, all the new privileges
which Mary Wcllstonecraft demanded have
already been granted
Though unfortunately too MANY women
still remain the social puppets and shop
ping dolls Mr.. Pearson has called them
she ideal of womanhood is certainly differ
ent from that of the Eighteenth century
1t is impossible to imagine a Rousseau to-
day being seriously listened TO if he
preached that woman was made for mans
pleasure The change of feeling in this re-
spect was very strikingly emphasized when
Ibsen's mora" was played in London; for,
despite ali the soulful discussion to which
the performance gave rise, the disinterested
spectator could not but feel that, while the
moral might be all very revolutionary ana
edifying in Scandinavian countries, in
England it was decidedly behind the times,
for the English or American Nora who
continued to live in her dolls house would
have but herself to thank. When the
whole country was but yesterday ringing
with the late triumphs of women students
at Cambridge, it would be useless 20 do
more than point out that Mary Wolf
stonecraft's theory of female education has
been realized beyond her most ardent
hopes.
True, her suggestion for the co-educa-
tion of the sexes has not been carried out,
but something very like it already exists
at the universities, where women are al
lowed to come up for the examinations,
and the public school system in the United
States virtually meets her views on ma
tiOnal education. Woman's economic pO-
sition, though 1t IS not yet what the most
radical reformers would have it, could not
fail to satisfy Mary Woollstonecraft's ideal
of womanly independence. That her in
stinct was not at fault when she recon-
mended the pursuit Of medicine for wom-
en- the success of women doctors today
proves beyond dispute. And so 1t is that
doctrines which in the eighteenth century
were held TO be subversive OF all morality
are now thought to be its very basis

American fathers have a strong prejudice
against providing their daughters with
marriage settlements. Let them begin az
we did, :" they say. But in Edinburgh or
Paris your friend remarks to you frankly.
II can afford only my modest style of liv-
ing, because must save for the marriage
portions of my daughters" Is there any
reason in the American preiudtce2 Is it
fair treatment of the daughter Of the bOuse
that she should be guarded from every
wind of heaven, lest il visit her face too
roughly, be furnished with every appliance
of comfort and ease, and on her wedding
day be thrust out penniless? Is it fair
treatment of the expected husband that
she should be habituated 70 live without
work and then be handed over TO him with
nothing she can call Der own bat a store Of
personal clothing and a parcel Of bric-a-
brac?
Dependence upon husband is a very
different thing from dependence upon her
father. a young woman goes to her father
for LII, ney with the trust and confidence
cf a young child. How is it when she
goesto a husband for money? BE he ever
so considerate, there IS "a Painful shrink
ing Oh her part, particularly If she knows
that his means are straitened. IN truth,
the two that have heretofore met a. equals
cease to do so. What equality can exist
where one supplies all the means Of sub
sistence and performs all the labor' a
great injustice has been done 70 the young
wife The parents have brought her up
TO live without work they ought also 10
have provided for her maintenance. This
has been the rule IN older communities.
and it will probably become the rule in
ours.-NOTth American Review.
