to the commercial school instead?
LEoNoRE HERMANN.
The editor of the {" Woman's IS World =
department, on whom devolves the
task Of replying to the foregoing, has
a decided opinion on the subject and
expresses it freely without consulting
the general editor OF this great moral
journal, as follows: Go to the high
school, by all means. 1t gives you a
better general education than any
body ever got at a commercial
school, or g commercial college, .
Then IL you want a special education
for a trade or profession get that in
the most practical way possible, for
the high school will not turn out
physicians, lawyers, bookkeepers nor
stenographers ready made. Neither
will the commercial colleges, :"
though they profess to.
When one who has learned book
keeping in a commercial college :"
attempts to earn living the first
thing necessary is to unlearn all that
was learned at the school; the next
thing is to learn to keep books. Nine

The women. Building at the Fair

Mrs. Potter Palmer has selected as
the design for the women's building
at the exposition the plans prepared
by Miss Sophie P. Hayden of Boston.
Thirteen women competed for the
three prizes offered The contest be-
tween Miss Hayden and Miss Lois P.
Howe, alsd of Boston, was very close,
but the honors were finally awarded
to the former.
Miss Laura Hayes of Chicago won
the third prize. The selection of Miss
Hayden's plans carries with the honor
a purse of $1,000, offered for the best
work. Miss Howe Will be paid $500
for preparing the second best designs,
and Miss Hayes $3.50 for the third best.
As soon as the selections had been
made, Chief Burnham telegraphed
Miss Hayden to go to Chicago and
elaborate her designs, to enable the
construction department to make
specifications for putting up the
building.
She will receive cheek for all her
expenses in addition to the prize when
she reaches Chicago The design
chosen is of italian renaissance style,
with eolonnades broken by the center
and end pavilions. The building,
which will be 200 by 400 feet, is very
simple, the only attempt at ornament
alton being at the main entrance.
This building will be fifty feet high,
being ten feet lower than the grand
central group. It lis to be constructed
of iron and steel.
The southern California orange
growers appear to have profited by
refusing to sell to the combination of
buyers, and the grape-growers of the
Cupertino district, in Santa Clara
county, have combined to market
their own grapes.

Farm Notes.


California's last years honey crop,
according to the California Fruit
Grower, was about 100000 pounds.
of which $500, 900 pounds was shipped
east. There were shipped to Europe
4972 cases by sail and 961 by rail over
land. The stock on hand is hardly
sufficient to last till the new crop
comes in and there is good demand
in all markets. Comb honey has been
scarce and many orders could not be
filled, especially for one-pound frames,
which command cents a pound more
than two-pound frames. Apiarists,
make u note ont.
f. w. Steele, a progressive dairy
man of San Luis county, has made a
generous offer to the county agricul-
tural society. He is interested in
Holsteins as competitors of the Jer-
seys as the model butter COW, and he
offers thoroughbred Holstein bull,
two years old or over, as premium
for the COW yielding the most butter
on the grounds during the fair, under
test conditions, and thoroughbred
registered Holstein bull, six months
old or over, for the second best, pledg-
ing himself not to compete nor permit
any of his cows to come in competition
for the premiums. Mr.. Steele also
offers to have milk testers and eentri-
fugal butter extractors on the grounds
and test the milk of every COW on ex-
hibition. He claims, as do others who
have used the extractor, that it saves
20 per cent more butter from the milk
of any COW than can be got by the old
method.
The war which the federal author
tiles are making on the sale of oleo-
margarine for butter is not being
seconded by the dairymen of Cali
ifornia, in the enforcement of the
state law, as it should be. There are
laws enough on the subject, and they
are good enough, but laws will not
enforce themselves. The dairymen
should be willing to contribute the
small sum apiece which would be
needed TO hire competent men to see
that all oleomargaiiHe offered Tor sale
by groeers or placed on the table in
restaurants is bought by the con-
sumers as oleomargarine or not at all,
and the state law is sufficient, if en-
forced, to accomplish this. If any
body wants to eat oleomargarine he
should be permitted to do so, but it
should not be fed to anybody as
butter.

The general curiosity Of our entire
town was aroused by the appearance
upon our streets of native Of India,
who was born upon one Of the Fiji
Islands. says the Atlanta Constitution.
He wore a very red or cardinal-colored
suit of clothes. knee pants and jacket
trimmed with black velvet collar and
cuffs. Over his shoulder he carried
cloak that was tied over the left sfoul-
der and under the right, made of white
and red flannel. His head was COW
cred with a blouse that fell down his
back. and still over this a sombrero.
His shoes were tied under the instep
with one-half inch white braid that
wound around the leg up to the knees.
His general appearance was very
gaudy.
This native was converted when
twenty-three years old. and is now
seventy-four years of age. His father
lived to be one hundred and three and
his grandfather one hundred and thirty
years of age. His life has been spent
in lecturing on the condition of bis
people He speaks twenty languages
fuently. When five or six years old
he saw an Indian woman throw her
child to a crocodile that weighed 1. GOO
pounds. The animal missed the child
and the mother caught it as it ran
back to her begging for its life. when
she threw it again; this time the croc-
odile struck it with its claws, tore it
into two pieces. and ate it very quick

He also was a cannibai. When he
was seven years old there were TWEEN
ty-one ministers who were caught
while travelling and prospecting for
places to locate churches, and one of
these ministers was beheaded every
morning by their high priest and his
flesh cooked. and the natives were
made to stand in row and each one
was given a part of the flesh and they
stood and ate it. This was continued
every day for twenty-one days until
all of the ministers were eaten up. and
he ate part of twenty-oue preachers.

When the rebels captured Iquiqui
the government troops took up
position some distance from the fort
The rebels returned on board their
vessels, leaving only fifty men in
charge. The troops soon heard of
this and marched on the place 200
strong, under Colonel Soto. Firing
commenced, and the shore fusilade
led the ships to promptly open fire
The Blanco Encalada, EsmeraIda
and Huasear used heavy guns, while
the transports kept the mitraileuses
busily employed. Tremendous de-
struction followed, and the flames
spread until the whole central part of
Iquiqui, where the best stores and
buildings were situated, was in ruins.
The fight which resulted in the fire
was stern and bloody tragedy in
which 200 men were killed, and it
would have been more prolonged had
it not been for the arrangement
reached by the chiefs of the two
parties, and under which the op-
position leaders engaged to pay
Colonel Soto $4,000 to deliver among
his men, who were then to join the
rebels. The government troops aban-
doned their arms and soon dispersed.
Subsequently Soto was arrested and
sent on board the Amazona, accused
of having distributed only $1,000
among his men and having retained
the other $4,000.
The Chilean government has evacu-
ated Antofogasta.
The report reached Panama on
March that when the forces of Val
paraiso fired on the Blanco Encalada,
killing several of her crew, the COM
manding officer solicited permission
from the shore authorities to bury
them, and the answer he received was
that he might bury them in the sea.
The commander of the Blanco En-
calada thereupon referred to the cap
tain of her maiesty's ship Champion,
and the latter significantly replied :
&C Request me to bury them and
shall do so.'' The request was ac-
cordingly formally made, whereupes

Growing Raspberries.

Small fruits are not given near the
attention in California that should be
given them Berries of all kinds do
well in most parts of the state, and
everyone should grow at least enough
for home use. Mr. A. B. ELS gives in
the Santa Ana Blade his experience
with raspberries, which will prove of
general interest:
at is time now that pruning was
done, but any time before the leaf
buds swell will do. I believe most
writer's .reccomend cutting back dur
ing the summer, and if properly done,
it is, 1 suppose, good plan. The
results which myself have obtained
in this way do not warrant me to
recommend the plan to the new be-
ginner The trouble with this method
with me has been that I checked the
growth for time, and then induced
late growth that was not to be de-
sired. IF the plants are cultivated
sufficiently to keep down weeds and
make good growth there need be
but little fear about canes upon which
to grow the fruit. I prune according
to the size of the cane, remembering
that cane of ordinarily good growth
may be expected to hol a weight of
four to six pounds of fruit and foliage,
and also that fruit buds thrown out
near the ground will produce double
the fruit that they will over two feet
from the ground, and that of a much
better quality; and also that it is the
buds near the ground that are most
likely to remain dormant if long canes
are left to be tied up to supports.
sAs to varieties, the Souhegan or
Taylor's Early, is the only one have

How to Make a Squeeze.

The science of making squeezes dur
ing the last few weeks has. says the
Washington Star, absorbed some at
tention on the part of the army and
navy commissioners to the southern
American republics. who have been
obtaining instruction on this and other
subjects at the National museum pre-
paratory to departure for the scenes of
their labor in behalf OF the worlds fair
at Chicago. To-sfow them how to do
it the Smithsonian experts had them
make in proper fashion squeezes of
bas-reliefs and Inscriptions in stone
on sarcophagi and other antiques.
First. they were taught to moisten the
surface of which likeness was to be
taken with plain water, after which q
sheet of tough tissue paper was laid
over and smacked lightly into every
curve and crevice with stiff brush. SO
that the moist paper took perfectly the
form of the inscription or bas-relief.
Next thin flour paste was spread
over the adherent tissue paper. and
over this a sheet of blotting paper.

with the brush the blotting paper was
gently pounded until it took the shape
as perfectly as possible of what was
beneath. Finally it was left to dry

such squeezes of carvings and the like.

America and South America. They
will reproduce all such as they find
desirable in this manner and will send
the squeezes thus obtained back to this
country packed in sawdust. All that
