MISS NANCY BAILEY.
Something About the Brilliant Young
English Woman.

new forK sun.
Miss Nancy Bailey is a pretty young English
woman about whom many things might be said.
For exampl', Miss Bailey Is an indexer; when
one takes into account the fact that there
are not more than halt dozen others In all
of Great Britain, and that Miss Nancy leads
them all, it will be seen that this Is saying q
good deal. Nancy was Shropshire glrl in her
early youth. and one never.t0- be-forgotten
day she set out for Loneon, determined to
"do something" She didn't have indexing In
mind then. She yearned to be literary, and,
es she was very much interested In
artistic subjects. sent off sundry articles In THAI
line TO the magazines. These were nnally
printed, but In he meantime great financial
strlngency overlook the young author. In THIS
crisis she complied an index of THE Years
Art" Then she did other potb0ilerS; con-
densed twO.volume novels into one volume,
made abstracts OF wills for the Herald Col
lege, and did many things which developed her
talent Tor wiDnowing the wheat from the chat:
hen great thing happened. The editor OF
HanSard asked her to index he Parliamentary
debates. To realize the Importance oil this re-
quest. one must read what MI. Stead wrote 10
Miss Bailey.
''For Intrinsic importance" wrote the great
journalist II would prefer 10 index HaRsAIu
rather than 10 have seat IN the House Oh Co JUL
womanhood. We all owe you thanks, as nu-
man beings, for demonstrating Tue capa0ICJ
of woman to do the work-the aTduuuS, TO-
sponsIble work-of actually creatlng tue lneln-
sion. That Is a noble service which any Llan
might covet, but which it IS your peculiar glory
to render, being woman" ,, ~
That was strong praise. But MISS Nancy
earned it. 81 shall always rememper, sue
says. "my start on Hansard. L iei' InaI IL was
absolutely homeless; that / should never sue
eeed Rnt worked on sometimes all day and
ali night til at last 1 waded through my diff
culties There was NOBODY 70 tedch NE, SO l
have TO solve my own method"
If an acquaintance with the young 1ndeXeI
conld Impart all her knowledge, then to know
her would be liberal education. For Instance,
she has indexed reports of mining commls-
sions and mas had to famiiiarize herself with
ali the technical terms and the processes to
which they refer. The same thing had TO be
done with reports of the Gloucester Canal
Companv and such books as the following:
Youns's Tour IN Ireland" THE Science OF
International Law" documents of the Shipping
Federation. and some of the Liberal Publica.
non Department, and a work on 1.-THE Somer.
set Religious Houses"
Young women who began to read this sketch
with an idea that they might become indexers
will therefore see that it Is no trif1ing TASK;
but to those who are sufficiently careful clever
and persistent the successful Miss Nancy rec
ommends the profession heartily. AT least /
is not Overcrowded.

The following letter from the Secretary
of Agriculture, in reply to a recently
mentioned request of the Clemson Col
lege trustees explains itself:
Hon. B. r. Tillman, Governor of the
State of South Carolina, and Trustee of
Clemson Agricultural College:
DEAR SIR-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your communi-
cation Of the 2lst ultimo, requesting, on
behalf of the trustees of Clemson Agri-
cultural College, the establishment of a
STATEN of the weather bureau at the Col
lege, and adding thereto your own recon-
mendation as Governor. In reply am
glad to be able to inform you that it is
found practicable to favorably entertain
the request, and action is about to be
taken to comply Herewith. With refer
ence to the recommendation, however,
that two officials be stationed at the Col
lege, have to say that but one can be
assigned at present. A full set of record
ing instruments is not now available for
the station, but an equipment, such as
furnished to the majority of the stations,
will be provided.
It is probable that the official assigned
to the station will be Mr.. B. R.. Stuart of
South Carolina, who has long been con-
nected with educational matters, and
therefore will doubtless be found very
suitable for this place. Very respectfully,
J. NJ. RUsK, Secretary.

Wheat and oats are looking well, the

which we think is very wise conclu-
sion.

are informed, is remarkably good, for
which we should be very thankful.
