ST. PAUL, Jan. 1S.-The first meeting
this year of the Queen Isabella club, of
st. Paul, was held Jan. 13. The Isa-
bella association was organized in Chi
cago by prominent women of the coun-
try, about two years ago, for the pur-
pose of honoring Queen Isabella, of
Spain, and benefting women at the
worlds fair in 1893

ing under the orders Of the Isabella as
sociation, on bronze statue of Queen
Isabella in the act of offering her jew
els to aid Columbus in his voyage which
resulted in the discovery of America.
The association will have this statue on
exhibition during the worlds fair. They
have issued 5000 shares of stock Of the
Isabella statue fund, to be sold at $5
per share. At the close of the fair the
city owning the greatest amount of
stock will receive the statue.
The association proposes to erect a
pavilion for the benefit of it's members
during the fair. Any state or society
getting 800 members at an early date,
will be entitled to separate committee
room during the six months of the
worlds fair. DR.. Julia Holmes Smith
is the president, and DR.. Frances Dick
inson secretary, with headquarters at
~ State street, Chicago.
The ladies of the club in st. Paul are
trying to get clubs started in all parts
of the state to secure the 300 members,
so that Minnesota may not be behind its
sister states at the worlds fair, and
they desire the women of Minnesota to
aid them in their undertaking. The
membership fee is small, and it would
be an easy matter to start clubs in every
town in Minnesota. These clubs gener-
ally take up the study of Spanish
American history. ...

or her embonpoint forbids, never essays
the triple beat of poetic motion. This
gown is white cloth embroidered with
chrysanthemums in a delicate cream,
the bottom of the skirt, sleeves and
bodice being outlined with swans down
and the corsage filled in with white lace

also serves for shoulder straps. OF
course, it would be out of the question
to think of waltzing in this elegant cos
tune, but it would serve to make box
glow with a radiance powerful enough
to attract all eyes, and therefore 1t

people. 1t is hard to tell exactly what
an ingenue is. Possibly you might say
that she is in the world but not of it.
She is child woman, who wonders but
doesn't comprehend. Something tells
her that she has power Of fascination
but, like the newly fledged bird, she
hops on the ground, not daring to use
her wings. Many ingenues are spoiled
in dressing, just as pictures are spoiled
in framing. This particular ingenue

AT last the judicial status of the
girls high hat at the theater is to be
determined. A Minneapolis manager
has been sued by drummer whose
view of the stage was INSTRUCTED by
two enormous hats, under which were
women sitting in front Of him. The
usher wouldn't give him another seat,
and his imperial highness in the box
Office wouldn't give him his money
back, so he has gone and asked the
courts whether going to the theater
is necessarily jug-handled scheme,
all on one side, with the handle to-
ward the manager. The metropoli-
tan public will watch the Minneapo-
lis court news for the next few years
with feverish interest. We say
"years" advisedly, because everybody
knows that Justices heel is made of
lead; but her slowness will be for
given If, when she raises her iron
hand to do the shifting, she smites
the high theater hat off the head of
the woman who sits in front of every
body at the play.

An Engine ON a Gold Piece.

The smallest engine we have any
record of is that made by ID. A. Buck,
of Waterbury, ct. The engine,
boiler, governor and pumps all stand
on q space 7-l6' of an inch square and
are about / of an inch high. The en-
CINE has 14S distinct parts, held to-
gether by So screws. Three drops OF
water fiji the boiler to overlooking.
The diameter of the cylinder is 1-26
of an inch, the length of stroke 3-32
of an inch. The. whole engine weighs
but three grains, not including base
plate.
Lee Taylor, an ingenious mechanic
Of Indianola, Iowa, has constructed,
says an exchange, an engine almost
equal to the Waterbury wonder. This
pigmy was on exhibition at the Gen.
tennial at Philadelphia in 1876. 1t
is built on a twenty-five cent piece,
the whole outfit weighing but a frac-
tiOn over three grains.

Great rwn-Year-oids.

Notwithstanding the remarkable prog
ress made within ten years in breed
ing trotters and developing early speed,
the two-year olds in the 2:30 list are
scarce, and any two-year old that trots
in 2:3O in a race must be regarded as a
horse of rare and exceptional precocity
and promise. In 1877 the great Wilkes
mare $3.50 trotted to q two-year-old
record of 2:31 and set the world agog,
and this record stood unbeaten until
1880. Among some OF the best horses
of the day we find those that we're great
as two-year olds. $3.50 has proved a
splendid brood mare, producing Also,
2:203; the phenomenal STEAMBOAT, Palo
Alto, and Axtell were wonderful two
year-old trotters, and the success Of
these horses makes the triumphs Of
other youngsters doubly gratifying to
their owners.

the same tone or OF a contrasting color.
And in many cases you see such bor-
der headed with tiny line of fur. II
you prefer, instead Of single band,
you may trim q skirt with three bands OF
different colored velvet. 1t Is also quite
necessary that there should be a velvet

Now for a hunt for house dress.
Nothing can be prettier than the modish
gray crepons of a soft steel tone, but,
made up ever so tastefully, ii will not

remain somewhat of a disappointment to
her solicitous mamma, who so often
wonders where her daughters got their
plainness from. Let her not despair.
the crepon needs something TO set it off,
to give it character. The thing is easily
managed. Make it up with dark-gree
velvet corslet, having long basques, and
cross the ends of the corselet stylishly
over the bust, then edge this velvet adj
dition with jet and you can at once i'm
part to the plain costume the very some
thing which 1t needed in order to help
the plain girl out. The collar too,
should have added, must be velvet.
There Is this consolation about the
plain girl that, while she may be more
difficult to dress effectively than her
pretty sister, yet when you do hit her
peculiar style the surprise is as startling
as 1t is pleasing.
Although this is of all times the time
to dance, yet many of our fashionable
ladies never attempt that most difficult
of feats, the waltz. There Is but one
thing more difficult to do than to waltz
gracefully, and that Is TO walk grace
fully; but walk we must, gracefully or
not, while there is no compulsion about
waltzing. Hence many there are who
go to balls as they go to concerts, not
for the music's sake, but for the occa-
sion's sake.

HOW 10 Cool rrottor.

When the horse comes in rub him all
over, from his ears to his tail and down
to his knees, with wash as near the tenn
perature of his body as possible. TO
make this wash, take one part alcohol,
two parts pure witch hazel and three or
four times as much soft water as the
combined quantity Of alcohol and witch
hazel. Every muscle should be rubbed
thoroughly. Throw q medium weight
blanket over the horse now, and let him
stand until you have put the bandages
on. Use the same wash for the legs as
for the body, but have it cold.
After putting the wash on the legs
rub them well with the palm OF the hand,
always rubbing down, never up. Put
bandages on Immediately after the rub
bing. Rub all his heels perfectly dry,
with clean, dry rags; care should be
taken in this, as cracked heels are very
stubborn and often lay a horse up for
the season. Throw the blanket back
from his head, and scrape out all the
wash that remains. Most Of 1t will have
entered to pores OF the body.
Cover up his shoulders and scrape the
the rest of the body; take clean, dry
rag and rub him all over lightly, always
rubbing with the hair as much as posi-
BILE; now put light hood on him and an
extra blanket over his loins, and after
looking after his heels again, walk him
out for about five minutes; then bring
him in, and should he have broken out
any while walking, scrape him again
lightly, after which give him another
light rubbing for say four or five
minutes, when he should again
be walked for about ten min
utes, and again taken in and rubbed
slightly, after which put on lighter
blankets, and continue to reduce the
weight as the heat leaves the body.

IT has been soberly and gravely pro-
posed by various more or less eminent
personages, to impose upon all bach
elors over thirty-tive years of age a
tax to be used for the support of old
maids. In Wyoming, at least, the
idea seems to be seriously entertained.
1t may well be questioned, however,
whether this measure will have the
hoped for effect, that of making these
tardy fellows so ashamed as to cause
them to rush into matrimony with
greater promptitude. In fact, such
a measure is more likely to act like
prohibitory laws, and have the OPP
posite effect. A Minneapolis women
has also inaugurated a movement that
is likely to nullify the effect of any
special tax or other measure that may
be enacted to discourage bachelor
hood and encourage matrimony. She
has actually sued and recovered judg-
ment against man for thirty dollars
for meals furnished him while he was
counting her and endeavoring to dis
cover if she was the sort of woman
with whom he could live happily.
This precedent opens up new dangers
for the young man who is on matri-
mony bent, and is certain to cause
all bachelors of maturer years to
shrink still farther from evincing
more than friendly interest in young
women. If it is to be considered
good law that man who visits a
young woman and accepts an invita-
tion to remain to dinner can subse-
quently be compelled to pay for the
dinner, it will have tendency to dis
courage the men from even visiting
ladies whose suitability for marriage
they may be DESTROYS of investigating.
In view of this new and hitherto un-
thought Of danger with which court
ship has been surrounded, the average
young man will be inclined to cling
more closely to single blessedness."

There is no business in the world that
requires as perfect knowledge, as thor
ough training, or the combination OF as
many essential qualities, both natural
and acquired, to make 1t successful as
that of breeding horses. To become 80
man must be able to know horse.
This does not mean that he must be able
to tell horse from n street-car, or q
draft horse from thoroughbred, but
that he must be able to tell at q glance
the degree OF perfection at all points
that the animal has attained. He must
know what families, crosses, and combi-
nations are most likely to bring the best
results, and why they will do so. He
must know how TO buy and handle his
brood mares, how to feed them, and how
to manage them during foaling time.
