II will be 4 grave mistake for the people OF
Brooklyn TO neglect the Bridge bill introduced by
request by Senator IiiscocS. There is 10 he a
hearing on it before Senate committee at Wash
ington tomorrow. The Tribune has expressed
the opinion. which is now widely entertained,
that the purpose of the bill is to make the build
ing Of bridges on either side of Manhattan Island
as difficult may he. while at the same time
purporing to aid in this work. 1t is understood
that Mr.. lliscock has practically rcpudated the
bill but that is not enough. Who its promoters
are is not known, but it behooves its opponents

time the author and origin of the bill were
made known.

A live tJpic at Harvard and among Harvard men
is whether one member Of the Board Of Oyerseers
should be chosen from the West Harvard is dis
tlnctiyely New England institution but in the
nature Of things and on principles of common
sense there is no reason why the governing body
should be made up exclusively OF NewEngland
men. Adhesion to that policy would suggest pro-
vincialism, which would be a bad thing for our
Oldest university and the one which none of the
later Corners have been able to outrank. BY
all means let the great West be represented on
the Board of Oversecrs In fact, tbs wise princi-
pie would be TO disregard locality in selecting
these officers, and get the fttest men, no mat
Ter where they happeh TO live.
Our Albany correspondents writing on the
Worlds Fair bill in u letter printed in another
column, points an excellent moral by calling at
tention to the fact that, while New-York has a
surplus of 1000, 900 in the Treasury, there is
doubt in certain minds whether it can afford to
appropriate as much as one-eighth of that sum
to enable the State TO make at the Worlds Fair
a represe2tation in keeping with its dignity and
prnacy. There is not shadow OF doubt that
New-York can afford half a million-Or more. il

qualities which command the admiration
of the sterner sex. But events are con-
stantly TRANSPORTING which tend to show
that she Is thoroughly capable of buffeting
with the rougher elements which are com
ponent parts in the make up of this hetero-
geneous world.
A living evidence of the correctness of
this statement is Miss Kittie V. wilkins,
whosis known as The Lady Horse Dealer"
of Idaho. She IS n good looking girl, not at
all masculine in appearance, modest and
retiring in manner, and yet 1t Is said that
the traders seldom get the better
OF her. She is a horse lover in reality, and
none of the dumb beasts in her possession
is ever abused; she will not permit it. Her
business partners are her father and two
brothers, and their ranch is situated in the
Bruneau valley, Idaho. Although the life
is of the quietest possible description, Miss
wilkins seems to rather enjoy its monoto-
ny, which, however, she varies by occa-
sional business trips to western cities. She
is very fond of music, and whenever in a
town where there Is an opera company Mt
the time, she Is certain to be one of the oc-
cupants of a choice seat Mt each perform
ance. She goes about entirely alone and
has never yet been molested by any one.
On the contrary, the FOUNDERS up" on the
prairies never fail to show their great nd
miration and respect for the plucky girl
by raising their hats when she passes them.
Miss Wilkins business methods may be
n trife unconventional, but they are based
on sound principles. When the time comes
for shipping she sets out with the horses,
most Of which are wild" and generally
manage to keep "A man busy and worried
looking after them, but this self reliant
western girl starts without any f~oreboding
as to the success of her trip, and the result
up to the present time is n vindication of her
great confidence in herself. She has never
had a serious accident with the stock, and
as n consequence her partners think that
she is about the smartest horse trader In
the United States.
, 1892-03-05

Before Miss wilkins sets out she always
takes the precaution to perfect shipping
arrangements from some point on the rail
road. She travels in the caboose of the
horse train, and doesn't seem to mind it in
the slightest. At the different towns at
which she stops she visits the dealers, does
all the dickering and personally arranges
and supervises the reshipping of the I'M
sold animals After she has disposed of
her charges she returns to the ranch, where
a prompt division of the profits is made in
cash. The mos remarkable feature, per
haps, in connection with Miss wilkins
business ability is that nearly all of the
horses which she takest to market have been
picked up by her ON different ranches in
Idaho, These trips necessitate sitting in
the saddle many hours at a time, and the
fair trader always goes unaccompanied.
She is beginning to recognize the progress
i've methods of the present day by making
advance trips, like a commercial traveller
or drummer, " and selling her horses to be
shipped at n certain specified time in the
future.
Another young woman who knows how
to battle with the world is Miss Lucy
Campbell, the schoolmistress of n district
known as Devils Den,' in the southwest
corner of Upton county, Ind. She is going
about now with a large scar across her
face. This was received in a recent en-
counter with a raccoon which she had
wounded. The animal, maddened by the
pain, jumped from the tree onto the Shout
der of the huntress, tore the waist of her
dress into ribbons and scratched her face
in a frightful name This adventure is
but one of many of a similar nature which
Miss Campbell has experienced, for she is
one of the most expert rifle shots and sue
cessful coon hunters in Upton county.

seven pelts, and she has killed nearly sixty
of the animals already this season. The
skins meet with a ready sale in the towns
near by, and the revenue derived from this
source is by no means an unimportant
factor toward pin money" for Miss Camp
bell. She, however. does not shine as a
rifle shot only. On the contrary this is but
one of the many attachments which have
served to make her widely known. As Q

BUJLDJNG HOMES

There is one feature about Cheyenne
which is becoming more noticeable daily
and it is very gratifying. This is the
or buy homes for themselves. 1t used to
be the case that many people, even Of
good circumstances, were perfectly willing
to live year alter year in rented houses,
thus paying out IN a comparatively
short time enough money to have built
houses for themselves. This was in
many instances true not only OF men
earning good salaries but even of some
who had the ready money to build homes
for themselves were they so inclined to do.
Just why this was so in n town where
there are so many handsome houses is a
good deal ofa mystery but hat it was so
there is no doubt.
The tendency is now all in the other
direction. Only a comparatively few
seem to want houses that are already
built. Most .of them have Individual
ideas with reference TO horses and TO
carry them out thew must be built. With
one or two notable exceptions the build
Ings desired are in value between 81 500
and 5000. The taste shown in their
construction is co~mmendable. and each
man has an incentive Tor improving the
surroundings of his home In the example
set forth by his neighbor. This year we
ave liable to have a great deal OF activity
manifested in this direction. Much OF
the money which will be secured from the
Cheyenne national dividends, for instance,
will go into permanent improvements in
the way of houses for the people. They
realize that this is a safe investment
and feel a strong personal pride in being
the owners of comfortable and handsome
houses.
THE LEADER is glad TO see this tend
ency manifested. 1t is au evidence OF
faith in the future of the town which
speaks louder than words. Each building
erected adds not alone to the taxable
wealth to the extent of it's cost,
but has an influence upon the
value of all other real estate.
1t tends to create local pride-which
we sometimes sadly need in this commu-
nity-aud make OF each home owner a
~tireless aud enthusiastic partisan Of the
community. 1t brings about a more
settled and fixed population, for a man
Who owns a pleasant home here
is less liable to be attracted by every dis
tant will O. the wisp which hobs up and
sometimes lures men to financial destruc,
zion. 1t has a vast influence, too, in re-
straiuing contentious between capital and
labor and ~inclines both sides to think the
matter Of dispute carefully over aud count
all the possible cost. It makes the owner
ola home more self respecting and 1t
makes him a better citizen.
We are glad to see this tendency de-
veloping. 1t should be encouraged in
every possible way. Heavy real estate
owners should offer inducements to every
one who is prepared to build a home for
himself and family. The movement is
worthy of every encouragement and the
benefit will be not individual. but general.

school teacher she enjoys the reputation OF
being an excellent .disciplinarian, and she
has surprised most of the residents of the
Devils DEM neighborhood, who freely
predicted hat she would never be able to
manage the older scholars, many of whom
were much larger and stronger than she,
and strength counts for a good deal in that
school. Her theory was that II a proper
start was made there would be less likeli-
hood of trouble In the future. Acting on
this theory at the beginning of the term,
she demonstrated in private and quietly
with a big fellow who seemed to labor un-
der the hallucination that his superior size
entitled him to an important share in the
management Of affairs. But the teachers
admonitions only served to intensity the
young mans determination to do as he
pleased, and his characterization increased
to such an extent that Miss Campbell de-
cided to take him in hand" She pa
tiently bided her time. and did not have
long 20 wait. The bad boy one day pro-
ceeded to whittle his desk until the teacher
grasped him firmly by the ears and shook
him until he was dizzy. Then she walked
calmly back to her chair, and resumed the
exercises where they had been interrupted
just as IL nothing unusual had occurred.
The big fellow has behaved in the most
exemplary manner since, as also have the
rest uf the scholars. The school house is
about two miles distant from the humble
little cottage in which Miss Campbell lives
with her father, who is a widower; but her
love for her parent is so great that she
walks home every day at noon, prepares
the midday meal and then tramps back to
her afternoon work. She hunts coons two
nights and sometimes oftener during each
week of the winter. Her sole companions
on these expeditions are her faithful dog
and trusty rifle. The home OF the Camp
bells is tastefully furnished, and there are
numerous testimonials to the workman
ship of the young lady in the shape of
handsome rugs made from the kin of
animals which she has shot.
There is n young woman in Macomb,
Ills, who has acquired notoriety, II not
fame, because she is handy with her fists"
Her name is Louise Terrell. She has had
several encounters with men, and, what is
still more remarkable. she has never failed
, 1892-03-05

to come off first best" She is only six
teen years of age, but is very strong. She
ID about five feet tall, and tips the beam at
$50 pounds. Her muscles are well devel-
oped, as also is her entire body. Her oc-
cupation is that of n ~dishwasher at one of
the hotels, and it is related that only a
short time ago, two of the girls employed
in the same house having angered her,
Louise picked them up, one after the
other, and despite their struggling threw
them out of the window. This escapade
cost her fifty dollars, but the police seldom
interfere with her. Her latest encounter
occurred in the postofiice one evening only
n short time ago. A young man made some
sneeriug allusion to the cut of her clothes.
Out flew her good right hand, and down
went the offending individual. AS soon as
he arose, he received an equally warm re-
ception, and after the dose had been re-
peated once more he was knocked out"
and Miss Terrell was cheered to the echo.
But an indiscreet youth just behind the
victorious maide had the bad taste to
smoker. Louise caught him in the act,
and her fist caught him on the point of the
jaw almost at the same moment. One was
enough for that young man, and he retired
amid the jeers of the large crowd which
had collected. Another fellow, however,
did something to offend the victorious
female, and he, also, "bit the DUST with
startling suddenness. These are not the
only scraps in which Miss Terrell has
been engaged. She has a long record OF
personal encounters, without the unsightly
tarnish of n single defeat. Most of the
women of Macomb fear her, and will walk
blocks out of their way to avoid n meeting.

CARE oF ORCHARDS

Benjamin P, Ware says that young
orchards should be titled, but when of
sufficient age theymay be laid down to
grass. He would plant forty feet apart
each way. Spraying with paris green is
a complete remedy for the canker worm
and codling moth. The latter lays its
eggs in the calyx of the apple when it is
small and has the eye uppermost, a posi-
ton in which the spraying takes effect.
One spraying did not kill the tent cater
pillar, but checked it; later applica-
ton was necessary to destroy it COM
pletely. He used the paris green
stronger than is commonly recommended,
one pound to 1875 gallons of water, and
did not injure the trees. A new insect
has attacked the apple trees, perforating
the leaves all over the tree, without,
however, destroying it; spraying is a
remedy for this and also for other in
sects.--New York World.

WATERED BUTTER.

Tile poor quality of creamery butter
as it comes from the churn is due to lack
Of care and cleanliness either in the pa
irons who furnish the milk, or the cream
eryman, or it may be to the incompetency
Of the buttermaker. These are faults of
ignorance or negligence. But very much,
and the amount seems to be rapidly in
creasing, of creamery butter that is
fairly good when it leaves the churn re-
mains SO but short time. 1t will not
keep. This defect is due to the amount
of water purposely lett in the butter.
Eighty per cent. is the minimum of fat
for real good butter, yet very much of
the creamery butter when sold contains
scarce seventy-five per cent. Here is
where the trouble comes in. Water
weighs more than butter, and as long as
it is mixed in the butter sells for the
same price, pound for pound, although
it costs nothing. There is, therefore,
the constant temptation before the cream
cry buttermaker to load his butter with
water. Against uncleanliness, careless
ness and ignorance the law can grant no
protection, but the law can and ought to
grant protection against watering butter
as well as watering milk.-Jersey Bulle-
tin.
