q. +. Won Rhein makes merry in anec.
dote over the worries of women as globe
trotters. The misery which overtakes
woman as traveller comes good deal
from her determination to keep as close to
fashionable costume as possible. The styles
suitable for promenade in the lark OF
city are embarrassing In the tropics or
when ]oltlng from the coast to Jerusalem.
But the lady traveller who goes sensibly
equipped and almost as simple in costume
as q man has little difficulty. Lady Burton
was no ncumbrance 10 her very resolnte
wandering husband. and the brave little
woman who has returned from an adven-
turous journey In Thibet could not have
attemp!ed it had she given more than a
minutes time to her attire per day. MEME
Mn'Iel DoWie went through the wilds OF
the Carpathlans in very free compromise
costume. and carried weapons and slept IN
the open like hunter. A woman who

not but endure agonies.
A Chnaman engaged in opium-smug-
Cling Iaments the loss Of trnnkful OF

shrew0ness to make up for the open con-

trunk had been opened and $50 tins OF
opium had been removed and their place
taken by bricks must have been beauti-
ful study IN Monaghan physiogn0my.
SEIZURE IN San francisco unfortunately
does not clear up the mystery OF now the

The Navahoe has been outsailed again.
Even the Calluna has left her behind in
pleasant breeze, which ought to have
favored the American yachts rig. Some
Of this misfortune is doubtless attribut-
able to want of local knowledge Of cur
rents and the whirigig of British weather.
Americas turn for victory will come, how
ever. when the Valkyrie heaves In sight
off New York. The trials of competing
yachts Oh this side render 1t almost GER
tainty that Lord Dunraven's fer, as 1T
was not much better than the Nayahoe,
only comes to court defeat.
A stretch of land in the Cherokee
country is to be opened for settlement
shortly, and already the military are TAX
ing precautions to prevent grabbing.
Thousands rush and jostle each other in
acquiring title to lands that will produce
no better than others in old States il fer
tilted and titled by proper, conservative
huabandry. The land In old States Is
abandoned, and in the new territory the
soil will also be Impoverished and run
down in turn. A well-fertiiZed acre UNI
der cultivation Is worth thirty out of con-
dition, and the saving IN labor Is enor-
nous.
Wheat is so low in price that farmers in
OHIO are feeding hogs with it and are GER
tain Of making a greater profit. 1t is estl-
mated that bnshel of wheat, ground and
mixed with other nOurisament costing
little, adds from Is TO 20 pounds to live
weight. and with prices at from S. to 81
hundred, the farmer may realize dollar
for his wheat without the trouble OF send
ing it to market. In a similar way 1t is
more profitable to fatten cattle on corn
than to ship the corn abroad, where 1t Is
used to feed stock as substitute for green
food or turnips.
The first Chinaman to be deported under
the Geary act was ferreted out at Los
Angeles. Judge Ross pronounced his de-

drawn passage voucher in favor of the
coolie. and he is how on lis way to the
Elowery Land. wondering that such
things can be when the Six Companies are
far from bankrupt in muney and devices.
The Geary act is good law, but the admin
istration of it has been evasive.
The news from Washington that Presi-
dent Cleveland is about to return to
Buzzards Bay is disquieting. Telegraph
communication with the capital is excel
lent, but mere communications over a
wire are worth little compared with per

time so critical in business and politics
The President, it is evident, greatly needs

San Francisco is to have a Bon Marche
where everything in the world may be
bought. Almost every great city has one
or more. and San Francisco is to make the
experiment in a massive building on the
site of old ST. 1gnatus College, Market
street. The property has long been in a
Oilapdated condition, and handsome
structure will doimuch TO render this part
of the thoroughfare impressive. Work Is

Some of the English spondents at
the fair in Chicago have been fascinated
by what they saw Of CALIFORNIA; exhibit.
One of them was better pleased with it
than anything else from separate States,
and ne went into rapturps on the cheap
ness and excellence OF The lunch with
which he was served. 1t would have been
strange il California had not many feat
ures to show which no other part Of the
country could approach or initiate. But
the correspondents will be astonIshed
when they see the Midwinter Fair.
The Chicago Herald maintains that the
epidemic of accidents by which SO many
people are killed In that city Is as oad as
visitation of cholera might be expected TO
