A Woman nnd Her Money.

Here is q short story from French
newspaper: When Nine. Boudin, cook
in the service Of a doctor named Four
won prize Of zoe, 600 francs in connec-
ton with the city of Paris loan in 1883
she Thoughts she was the happiest woman
in the world. Subsequent events have
led her to modify this view to some de
gree. To begin with, she had husband
who had deserted her, and who, directly
he heard of the strange turn of fortunes
wheel, tried to avail himself of the de-
fciencies of French law, which knows
no married women's property act, to OBJ
tain the sum for his own sole and exclu-
sive benefit, Then another claimant
turned up in the person of former en-
ployer Of Nine. Boudin, M. Doggy.
The winning certificate, he said, belonged
in reality to him. He had bought one,
he said, for her, but it was another one,
and his wife had handed her the wrong
document.
The woman's husband having died, his
heirs agreed to accept one-half the prize,
while NJ Doggy agreed to compromise
his claim for $4,000 francs. This left
10000 francs for Nine. Boudin, with in
terest, for the litigation had gone ON for
years. Even now, however, the law
courts have not done with the matter,
for NJ. Doggy has just been arrested on
a charge of making fraudulent claim,
while lawyer named Mougin is being
prosecuted for enbezzling $4,000 francs
Of the share belonging to the heirs of
Mime. Boudin's husband.

Improving the Mind.

Do all women find little time each day
for reading something good? By good is
meant broadening. Ten minutes a day
makes hours in a year, and it means a
growth of the mind that keeps q woman
young. Youth means more than the alb
sence of years, It means living in the pres
ent and keeping abreast of the times,
Women need to do this. It Is duty owed
to themselves and to their families and
she who buries herself in cooking, frills
and follies commits sin. Only that which
we assimilate as part of the mind is eternal,
and it is the only treasure we carry into
that life beyond that awaits us all.
All other things are but the frame; the
real, the priceless is that which becomes a
part of us, poem today over which we
think, a sentence tomorrow which makes
duty clearer, little here and there, and
our minds are growing richer, our lives
are broadening and helping others to reach
out for the best.-St. Louis Star-Sayings.

Saved by q Faithful Dog.

The other morning number of chill
dren were playing on the towing path Of
the Thames near Barnes railway bridge,
England, when a~girl fell into the water.
A gentleman happened to be passing at
the time with a large retriever dog, and
being himself unable to swim at once
persuaded the animal to jump into the
river to the girls rescue. The dog
seized the child by the dress, and not
outstanding the strong current caused
by the receding tide succeeded in hold
ing the girl above water for some min
utes, until waterman had put off IN his
boat, when the animal released his Hold.
The child was brought ashore by the
waterman in an unconscious condition,
but she quickly recovered.

Mems Idea of womanliness.

The Listener could forgive women, in
view Of the history Of the sex in our civil
lization, for so long believing themselves
to be intellectually and physically infe-
rior to men, but he finds it hard to under
stand why, in the light Of the intuitive
sense which has certainly always been
characteristic of their sex, women did
not all along perceive that what they
were calling "womanly qualities" were
simply men snotions Of womanly qualities
simply the ways in women which
pleased men because they fattered their
strength and confessed their authority.
No doubt there are certain ways Of &C
ton which may be said to be fit for and
appropriate to women and certain other
ways which are properly characteristic of
men only, but to ascertain what these
ways and characteristics really are one
must go a little deeper than the conven-
tional notions of one sex with regard to
the other, especially when those notions
are clearly traceable to the vanities of
either.
This old notion about the unwomani-
ness of Astounding physical vigor, and es-
pecially of athletic proficiency in women,
is an illustration. Because certain men
say majority of men-liked to see
womens dependence upon men always
confessed, and consequently regarded
pa1lor, weakness, tears, wasp waists,
slightly STOPPING shoulders and infantile
simplicity as appropriate to women, it
came to pass that women at length re-
garded real physical excellence as I'M
womanly! Well, having got over this
delusion, and having begun to take in the
idea that their own notions as to what is
womanly may be quite as good a guide
as mems, there is no telling what further
transformations may take place.-Bos-

Woman Suffrage Abroad.


Millions of intelligent women in the
United States will be interested in the
woman's suffrage movement that is now
taking place in England and in France.
In London woma1s suffrage and wom-
; ans work are questions that are being
pushed to the front, and it is reported
that woman's suffrage bill will shortly
be introduced into the house of COM
mons. In fact it is the intention of Wis
count Wolmer, who is a Liberal Union
list and member for the west division of
Edinburgh, to do SO, and it is thought
that the bill will receive $50 votes from
Conservative and Liberal members.
It is true that Mr.. James Stuart, who
who is a member Of parliament and who
presided at the Woman's Suffrage soci-
ETY., which met in London lately, took a
wet blanket view of the prospect and did
not hold forth much hope Of the bill be-
ing passed. He pni2ltad ont that since
the exclusion of the Right Hon. James
Stansfeld from the ministry there was
actually no one in the Liberal govern
ment who could be relied upon to advo-
cate the cause of wolnan's suffrage as it
ought to be advocated; that there was no
member Of the party who could abso-
lutely be depended upon. He might
have added that since the death of John
Stuart Mill no one has arisen in Great
Britain capable Of espousing the cause
with such invincible logic and stirring
eloquence as that remarkable thinker.
About the very same time when this
question is being urged in London the
advocates of woman's rights in Paris
have been represented by an association
known as ''La Solidarite des Fenmes."
This association intends to petition the
chamber Of deputies to so amend the
bill of arbitration now under discussion
that in the same question relating to
women women shall be the arbitrators.
This is going a great way in the direc-
ton Of giving to women those privileges
for which highly intelligent proportion
of their sex has long been battling

Blind Rats.

Stories are often told of the kindness
of animals to those of their companions
that are blind. Dogs and cats and
horses and COWS will lead their comrades
away to their food or bring it to them,
and the smaller animals also seem able
to understand that the helpless are to be
cared for. Not long ago an English
Waterman in warehouse saw two rats
moving slowly along close to the base
ment wall. The other rats had quickly
scampered away at slight noise that he
made, but these were side by side and
hurried along in clumsy manner. Hs
turned the bullseye of his lantern full
upon them and saw that each rat held
one end of a straw in its mouth. The
movements of one showed that it was

Hints About Dress.
The thrilling story of the deadly peril
OF the unfortunate German steamship
the Spree, has been brought here in all
It's awful details by the passengers who
arrived on the Etruria within the week.
1t will be remembered how, after the
shaft of the great liner broke and the
stern compartments filed with water,
the ship laid for two days rolling in the
trough OF the sea IN momentary danger of
sinking. Even after being taken in tow
by the Huron the danger was by no
means averted. 1t was the first hours of
awful peril of instant death that most
tried the heroism Of the passengers, and
IN that terrible period and the subse-
quent long suspense the women dis
played more fortitude than the men.
This is the unanimous testimony of those
who have arrived safely, as given in the
papers.
One of the statements runs as follows:
COT the many hundred people on board
expecting the ship to sink every mo-
ment there were only a few who lost
their heads or showed cowardice, and of
these few the majority, shame to say,
were men. These few showed all the
weaknesses of towards. They wept and
cursed and made a rush for life pre-
servers. They held on to those which
they secured and even slept on them"
Rev. Dwight L. Moody says:
cit is absolutely true that the women
were calmer and Drawer than many Of
the male passengers"
Mrs. Blanche Moeller corroborates
these statements. She says:
When the ifeboats and RATS were
being made ready the women demon
Btrated more courage than the men.
Many of the men, as soon as the crash
came, seized the nearest life preserver
and thought only Of their own deliver
ance. They also chung to them during
the entire two days of trial and carried
them wherever they walked. The
women, on the other hand, in many
cases walked calmly around the boat
without a life preserver, and when the
boat began to sink they made it known
that they thought more of the welfare of
others than they did of themselves

An Ohio farmer writes to The Rural
New Yorker as follows: ga year ago
last spring I mulched some wheat very
thinly with straw early in March. The
effect was decidedly injurious. Three
years ago last fall mulched with straw
the next day after drilling, and the effect
seemed beneficial. This conclusion was
reached from appearances and not from
actual test by weight and measure. My
Judgment is that my straw will give
more profit if used for bedding stock,
or exchanged for manure in the town
two miles away, or if what cannot use
for bedding is sold and the money spent
for clover seed. / am loath, however, to
sell straw unlesS I can purchase manure. ;"

Dairy and Creamery.

About this time of year the bumped
up milk cow is to be seen shivering
against the south side of straw stack
with the icicles hanging to her coat.
Her owner ought to be forced to take
that course Of treatment for his health
awhile.
If you have some money left over this
winter after paying all your debts, don't
put it out on interest till you look
around and see whether you have a good
barn and good warm quarters for your
live stock, not even excepting the colts
and dry cattle.
The English language is ransacked to
find sweet scented, sweet sounding
names for just plain, coarse, common
oleomargarine.
A man who investigated it says that q
cream separator will get half pound
more butter to the hundred pounds of
milk than the best method of cream
raising will do.
Once in a great while there comes a
COW that cannot by any known means
be dried off from giving milk. Ordina-
rily, however, the most persistent mixer
can be dried up by leaving little of the
milk in her udder at each milking. The
philosophy Of it is that so long as there
is milk in the udder the glands that Sc
crete the fluid will not be excited to pro-
duce more. Giving the cow dry feed
also tends to lessen the milk flow.
The Holstein-F riesian association of
America reports that it is not possible
to get q sufficient number of cows Of
that breed to take the tests at the
Worlds fair next year. The COWS are to
be kept at the exposition grounds six
months, and owners who value their
stock at high prices will not take the
risks Of leaving the animals at the show
grounds. The association will, however,
offer valuable additional premiums for
Observation-Disclosures exhibited in the live
stock department. of the fair. But the
favorite Holsteins will undoubtedly lose
ground in America by this failure to

queries as to which.is the most prohts

queries as to which. is the most profita-
bic fowl:
No particular breed possesses all the
desirable qualities necessary to perfec-
ton, but each is adapted to certain
climates, soils and modes of manage
ment. The best breed depends upon
the purposes for which it is intended,
the distance from market, the range,
the fences and the color of it's carcass
when dressed. The Minorcas, claimed
to be better layers than the Leghorns,
are also considered hardy and are likely
to become favorites. The games, though
not up to the average as layers, in pro-
portion to weight possess less offa1 and
more breast meat than any other breed
and stand at the head for the table.
Crossed on large Asiatic hens, the game
produces the finest Of market poultry,
while the choicest capons are the result
Of Dorking cock and Asiatic hen.
The breeds best adapted to the north
west are Brahmas and Cochins, the for
mer being perhaps the better layers
When there is good market for poultry
and eggs the Wyandottes and the Plyn-
outh Rocks are excellent if they have
outdoor exercise. In the east, or where
the winters are not as severe as in the
northwest, the American or Spanish
breeds may be used, and the Asiatics
are not out Of place. On wet soils avoid
feathered legs. Where there is much
rain in the spring crested breeds suffer.
There are but few breeds that cannot be
adapted to the eastern and middle states.
The best breeds for the southern states
are the Leghorns for eggs and the Plym-
outh Rocks and Wyandottes for mar
ket, as the winters are mild, and these
breeds, being active, have long season
for foraging. When one is not partial
to the keeping Of breeds in their purity
many advantages may be secured by
crossing, providing pure bred males only
are used for the purpose.

Rearing Queen Cells.

The subject of queen cells came up
for consideration at the Chicago bee
convention. j. A. Green told that he
had used the Doolittle method of rearing
queen cells and secured the best results.
This method consists in transferring
small Larvae and small portion of royal
jelly to embryo queen cells, and then
placing the prepared cells in a queenless
colony Or in the upper story of one
having a queen exoluder between the
two stories. He had tried the Alley
plan, but did not like it so well.

dreds of cases much more sorrowful
than the one here illustrated. What he

suit in the work of the division of en-
tomology in the discovery of the eggs

maggots do not burrow directly into the
skin, but find their way to the points
from which they emerge when full
grown by means Of the mouth, the esoph-
agus and the simultaneous tissues of
