How Would Women Do a. Jockeys

[From the Chicago News
 'T'n tell you another sphere of useful ness for women, involving a class of work for which they are not at all lilly adapted by nature" said gentleman from whose button-hole hung a race-course badge. "And whats thatT"
 'fRsce riding, Why shouldn't girls make as good jockeys as mens They're smaller, and as weight is the desideratum primarily, they are naturally better suited than the men to begin with. Then it has been demonstrated that women can ride, and ride well, even when hampered by the clumsy garments of their sex and side saddles. Even with these handicaps the ladies manage to keep up with the men in cross-country riding, and in some in stances the fair ones capture the brush over their male competitors. Now, it be- ing proven that women can ride, and that its healthy exercise for them, we may also take it for granted that most women love horses and like to ride. Then why shouldn't they be jockeys. ehl
 'For race riding let 'em, of course, dis card their skirts and corsets snd don the habiliments of the jockey The costume is ample, more so than those of other pro fessionsl women-athletes, dancers and circus riders. l tell you its 6 great scheme It would prove popular-not only with the women, who would embrace the new profession eagerly because of the good money returns and the opportunities it would give them for display of thsir horsemanship-and it would draw big crowds to the track. Racing isn't particu- lsrly dsngerous-no more 60 than lots of other professions that women do engage in and ss the girls are light, plenty strong enough, quick-witted, good schsmers, fond of rivalry and naturally adapted to riding as well as the men, I don't see why lady jockeys shouldn't be popular feature of the rsce-courses in the future. I mean 10 advocate the innovation anyway"

C0URTs OF CANCELLATION.


 A court of conciliation is not a good thing for lawyers, but 1t Is very good thing for those who need 1t. In Norway they have courts of conciliation in every city or village containing at least twenty families. The districts are small so as to allow persons to appear in these courts without inconvenience or long journeys. The city or parish council nominates three men as commissioners fora term of sev- eral years, and from these three the peo- pie choose two. They are usually of high character, above politics, and are held in great honor. The proceedings are held with closed doors and nothing is known of what is said or done there. Admissions made by the parties to the suits cannot be used if the case is taken to the higher courts. But no case will be considered by the higher court unless it has been first taken before the court of conciliation. Lawyers are rigidly excluded and the parties must personally appear unless for some very good reason when representative is admitted. If one of the parties refuses to appear he must pay the costs of the suit in the upper court even when he wins it. There are not many forms or technicalities, the object of the court being to get at the truth and to dis courage litigation. In fact, as the name of the court implies, 1t is the bounden duty of the commissioners to be peacemakers and encourage settlement.
 Three-fourths of the cases brought are adjusted in these courts of conciliation and do not go up to the higher courts. The system is very popular in Norway, and as it has been in operation nearly one hundred years it has been we'll tested. It deserves a trial in other countries.

Our NgW SuppIy A NEW MISSION.

 A NEW MISSION.
 Music exalts each joy, allays each grief,
 Expels diseases, softens every pain.''
 It is said that new work for the benefit of the sick and suffering, to be known as "The Mission of Saint Cecelis," |" is now in process of organization. Recog- nizing the power of music as remedy for sleeplessness, panacea for pain and discomfort, it is the plan of the society to provide the services of accomplished musicians, at hospitals or private houses, by day or night as most desirable for the sufferers.
 Many proofs might be given of the power of sweet and tranquil harmonies to alleviate pain and soothe the restless It's influence was tried long ago by 8 gifted young harpist and singer, with ex- cellent effect for time at least, upon an irascible, half demented king. Florence Nightingale and other nurses and phy- sicians who have watched the effect of music upon nervous patients, approve of :t as practically beneficial The plan is not new one, except in the idea of or ganization to effect regular and satis-
 
 who otherwise might be deprived of it.
 Some years ago the Rev. H. R. Haweis, In that delightful book, "My Musical Memories" wrote of music as powerful therapeutic, and one especially adapted to this excited age, when half our diseases at least come from disorder of the nerves, and ills of mind are followed by bodily ail- ments. "Have we never known," asks MT. Hawis, "an invalid to forget pain and weariness under the stimulus of musics Have you never seen pale cheek flush up, dull eye sparkle, an alertness and vigor take possession of the whole frame, What does it meana It means truth that we have not fully grasped, truth pregnant with vast re- suits to body and mind. It means that music attacks the nervous system directly, reaches and rouses where .physie and change of air can neither reach nor rouse. /" MT. Haweis then pleads for the recogni- tion of this truth and points to new vo- cation, that of the Musical Healer" urg- ing it especially upon girls who might thus turn their musical abilities to gen. tie and tender human use.
 Not all players have the gifts which would be necessary to ensure success: Ready tact and sympathy, quick Judgment
 
 to cultivated taste, command of wide range of competitions, beautifully accu- rate and smooth style of execution, whether with voice or fingers; in other words, it is the union of musical talent with personal qualities that will give one grace and pow CT to apply the medicine of music to dis, ease. ReThe fascination of the new call | ing" says our author, "wou1d be, in the delight of its exercise, the variety and end less excitement and surprises of it's results the incessant study of character, the con stant self training and cultivation of sym pathy for definite and immediate end and in the intense happiness of feeling tha upon the waves of heavenly melody ant harmony which lifted up your own soul another's pain and distress were floating away, and that you had been the activ' agent in procuring this pleasure, this re lief, this recovery"

 The Maine coast dwellers have peculiar remedies for all sorts of diseases, and among them that prescribed as sure cure for cancer by an ancient mariner of Harp well is the queerest.

 Schultz is very common name among Germans. A striking illustration of that fact is found in the city directory of Der lin, which has nearly two hundred pages of citizens bearing that name And in certain departments of the city govern ment there are numerous sub-depsrtments, each having different set of clerks, to take care of special divisions of the Schultz family.
 An interesting phase of the servant girl | question has made It's appearance in 8 Brooklyn police court. Mary Jenkins sued Joseph Adler for wages which said Joseph refused to pay on the ground that Mary had broken too many dishes. A tea set had been smashed, and plates, tumblers and saucers. But MT. Adler had not seen the domestic break any of the dishes; he merely inferred that they had met their fate at her hands. So the judge ruled that it was the general custom for servant girls to smash things and that Mr. Adler must pay Mary her wages.
 The cheering news comes from Berlin that Dr. Engels has discovered in Africa a remedy for blood poisoning caused by the bites of snakes and rabid dogs. This rem edy is the ''wild-growing black noble | palm" It is stated that 500 negroes bitten by poisonous snakes were treated with the extract of the palm and 487 were cured in five days. Of sixty-6ve farmers and negroes bitten by rabid dogs all but | two were saved. The extract is injected under the skin and causes a moderate fever. On the third day the fever and inflammation disappear, and on the fifth or seventh day the patient is cured.
 There is such thing as being too smart Certain land spectators in Washington bough tract of land consisting of sev. enty-four acres and put it into the asses sors' list at $150 an acre. Since then the government has bought thirty two acres oi

 an acre. The owners still retain forty 1.-two
 acres. They expect to have the assessment
 on that continue at $150 an acre. Tn,

 the discrepancy in prices and has ad
 dressed letter to the assessors formal,
 calling their attention to the difference be
 tween the price at which the owners sel
 the land and the price they afix to it fo assessing purposes.
