Working Girls Studies.

The Association of Collegiate Alumn@
has begun noble work in the effort to
extend higher education among working
girls. This undertaking will do much
to break down the feeling Of caste which
still fingers among women, though men
have largely outgrown it. In Washing
ton the collegiate alumne are at present
giving instruction to class of young
women organized from the working
girls clubs,
1t is interesting to observe here what
a womans idea of higher education is
The foundation laid by the Washington
young ladies is really to be the basis, it
is hoped, of a successful university ex-
tension work. Glasses in French and
German have been formed among the
working girls Instruction in Delsarte
physical culture is also given, so that If
the working girls of Washington are
shortly observed to be 1.-the, willowy and
/ dreamily aesthetic, we shall know the
reason why. IT'S well. But after this the
| collegiate alumn8 young ladies' sudden
ly switch off and dose the working girls
with old English cathedrals Now, what
under the heavens do working girls OF
any girls want to know about old Eng
lish cathedrals, when they have not two
ideas in their heads about the govern
ment and history of their own country
and don't know sanitary diet and ven
tilation from hole in the sky? Go to
with your English cathedrals!

In all probability Fairhaven and
New Whatcom will soon enjoy the adj
vantages of inter urban mail service
twice day each way over the consol-
idated street railway lines. If we are
not mistaken there are at present only
two cities in the United States between
which street car mail service is regu-
larly maintained, viz: st. Paul and
Minneapolis Three years ago n "howl~
ing wilderness bordered Bellingham
Bay for nearly the entire distance now
traversed by one Of the finest electric
street railways in the country, over
which it is proposed to carry the mail,
aud the company operating the road is
obligated by its franchise to extend its
tracks at least two miles each year
until its right-of-way privileges are eX-
hausted. And yet there are those
among us who seem to think that the
work of city building is progressing at
little better than a snail's pace.

Cotton and Sheep.

1t is a bad year for agriculturists in
the south; bad because they have too
much Of their great staple cotton. The
immense crop has forced the price down
very low. Many Of the cotton raisers
mortgage their crops in advance to pay
for groceries and dry goods, 1t is a bad
plan, but it is a survival of the old times
that cannot be uprooted save through
misery and inconvenience. But this
year the suffering planters may think
seriously of the advice that was given to
them as far back as 1S4S by one of their
own men.
It was that instead of running all the
productive energies of the soil into cot
ton and cotton alone, they should diver
sify their productions. First of all they
should go into sheep raising extensively
The south might well vie with the north
in the wool and mutton industry. Sheep
could be raised at probably half the ex-
| pense they can in the north. In many
| parts almost no shelter at all would be
required in winter Food is abundant.
The waste products of the cotton crop
could go into food for the sheep. They
would moreover give change and rest tc
the worn out fields of the older cotton
states Nothing could be worse than
the condition of many of the cotton
growers this year. Let them minglt
wool with their cotton and see if the
change will not be for the better TIL,
census shows that this United States il
becoming more and more a mutton eat
ing country, although there are pro
portionally no more muttonheads thar
there ever were.

The Express ingenuously observes
editorially that its life "does not de-

u M,sterious Disappearance.

Mr.. B. Jones Monaghan stepped out
the door Of his suburban Philadelphia
home at West Chester ON the 2fth OF
last September and remarked that he
was going to New York on business. He
said the same thing to his business part
ner and went away. That evening he
telegraphed his partner that the bust
ness would require him to remain in
New York till next day. 1t was not till
several days passed that any anxiety
was felt concerning him. Then the fam
iIv and partner became anxious and his
brother went to New York. The tele-
gram Monaghan had sent several days
before was traced to a hotel and found
to be genuine Thence on he was as one
dead. Not a sign, not trace could be
found of him.
His accounts were examined and all
found correct. His home was happy and
his habits were exemplary Detectives,
the best in America, were put on the
case, but all was no good. Mr.. Mon
Afghan was believed to have been muir
dered in New York And at length,
when all hope of ever seeing him alive
had been abandoned came "a cable dis
patch from Melbourne, Australia dated
Dec. 5, saying that Mr.. Monaghan was
there and in good health.
Later came a dispatch that he would
sail for home in January, which ne did
His own explanation sounds simple
enough. It is that while on the verge
of lunacy from insomnia he had wan
dered away, hardly knowing whittier.
But the story proves that, even in this
age of photographs, telegraphs and de
tectives, anybody can disappear if he
wants to and nobody can find him.

THE WORLDS GREATEST RIVERS
Astounding Calculation of the Aggre-
gate Volume of Water

Astounding Calculation of the Aggre-
gate Volume of Water
Geographers claim that there are
twenty-five rivers on the globe which
have total length each of over 900
miles says the Scientific American.
OF these, two, the Mississippi from the
source of the Missouri in the Rocky
mountains to the Eads jetties, and the
Amazon from the source of the Benz to
the isle of Marajo, are over 1000 miles
in length. To be exact, the former is
1900 and the latter 1929 miles from
the source to the places where their
waters are mingled with those of the
ocean. Four claim total length of
over 5000 and under 1000. They are
the Yenisei i'm Asia, length 1850; the
Kiang, Asia, length $500; the Nile,
Africa, 3, 240; and the Hoang-ho, Asia,
which is 3,Ol0 miles. Seven streams
on the globe are under 5000 and over
1000 miles in length the Volga in
Russia and the Amoor i'm Asia, each
being $500 miles i'm length; two are
$500 miles long, the Mackenzie
i'm British America and the Platte
i'm South America The Rio
Bravo i'm North America, the Rio Ma
deira i'm South America, and the Niger
i'm Africa are each 1900 miles from end
to end. The Arkansas river just comes
inside of this 1000 mile limit. Ten of
the great rivers of the world are over
600 and under 1000 miles in length.
Three of these are in North America,
the Red river $50, Ohio !, $50, and the
St. Lawrence $50. South America
has also three in this list, the Rio Ne
gro $50, Orinoco 1900, and the Uru-
quay 1. 100 miles. Asia has three III the
same list, the Euphrates 1900 miles,
and the Tigris and Ganges, each OF
which is about 1900 miles. In the

group Of great rivers, the St Lawrence
IS the most remarkable. II constitutes
by far the largest body OF fresh water
i'm the world. If we include the Great
Lakes and tributary rivers with the St.
Lawrence system, as they cover about
5000 square miles, the aggregate rep
resents not less than 5000 solid miles OF
water The unthinkable size Of this
mass may be better comprehended
when we consider the figures of Prof.
Cyrus c. Dinwiddl Ao says that 1t

Some time ago, previous to finally
making up its mind ON the question Of
the American hog, the French govern
ment sent a special agent, NJ. Duclos,
to this country to report on the in
spection to which our meats were sub

his tour and when he completed it said:

American play writers complain bit
terly because managers prefer foreign
plays to theirs. They say they can get
no recognition at all from those who
control the theater representations. The
reason is simple. and it is because with
few exceptions, Americans do not write
as good plays as foreign authors. Amer
lean play writing is now nearly where
American literature was when Sydney
Smith asked the contemptuous question
Who reads an American book? Oceans
of home dramas are constructed, but
they are not good enough in the ma
jority of cases to put upon the stage.
We have far more good American
players than plays. Those Americans
who have proved their ability in this
direction-Bronson Howard, De Mile
and Belasco, Sydney Rosenfeld and
Thomas-have no lack of appreciation
to complain Of Theater managers ar,

They welcome it as a publisher does 8

it says, "fOr men to wear cooked hats

they were permitted to wear them in
indoor assemblies, it is just possible
that men would enjoy church-going

was the stranger who had shared Mr..

The subsequent proceedings were
fraught with painful interest for at
least two of that audience. Mrs. Amts
whispered to her husband that she no.

when the congregation rose 10 sing, he
kept his seat despite that lady's reprov-

Mr.. Gil key TO see how he bore it. That
gentleman, after some discussion with
his wife, arose, and held the book for
her during the hymn, but he hung his
head and looked crushed in spirit.
Mrs. Gilkey, on the contrary, carried
her head and he new bonnet with con-

How Old is the Potato!

The potato was introduced into Eu-
rope from the Western Hemisphere.
History has it that Christopher Column
bus was the first European who ever
tasted potato. 1t is doubtful if he
ever enjoyed eating our favorite tuber.
At all events the vegetable that he ate
in Cuba in 1892 and brought home to
Genoa was a sweet potato. The first
potato grown east of the Atlantic Ocean
was planted by Claudius in The botani-
cal gardens of Vienna in 1885, AS is
well known, Sir Walter Raleigh found
the potato in Virginia, and took speci-
mems back to England. The original
home of the popular tuber is Chill. 1t
was brought north by the Spaniards.
For many years the potato in England
was looked upon as being poisonous
and unwholesOme. This perhaps is
not to be wondered at, as it was com
monty eaten raw, the method of cook
ing it not being known. Gradually its
usefulness as a palatab,e vegetable be-
came known. A committee of the
Royal Society urged in 1862 that all the
fellows who possessed land should
"plant potatoes and persuade their
friends to do the same in order to allie.
viate the distress that would accompany
scarcity of food" In 1888 the first
field of potatoes was planted in the low
lands of Scotland. AS soon as the peo'
pie of Ireland knew how to cook the
potato, it quickly became the one lead
ing vegetable of the land. Its cheap.
ness of cultivation, large yields and nu.
trilive qualities made it become i'm.
mensely popular, and as it was the
chief article of food it ere long oh
tanned its present common name-Irist
potato. 1t is not only of value as 6
food plant; the Irish were the first tC
discover that whisky could be made
from it, Starch is made from it for the
laundry and for the manufacture OF
farina. The dried pulp from which
the starch has been extracted is useC
for making boxes. From the stem
and leaves a narcotic is extracted. Ii
some places cakes and buildings are
made from the potato -four. -ErchGnge
