tically. She stated emphatcally that iori-
culture in Mississippieould be made ex-
tremely profitabl and backed up her as
sertions by statistics.
When the essay was published we'll
known Chicago IaDer denounced it as false
and misleading. The authoress knew bet
ter. and 10 prove the truth of her assertions,
aud not for the sake Of pecuniary profit,
she engaged in Horticulture as business.
Miss Downing invented her own boxes
for shipping. 1t was her theory that
flowers are best preserved in their natural
position. She had small lidless boxes con-
structed. in which she placed cut flowers,
stems downward, packed closely enough to
preserve the upright position of the flowers,
without crushing or crowding them.
Instead of lid. she nailed a square of
white tarletan over the top of the box. The
railroad companles generally took the hint
and kept her flowers this side up"
The towns with which she did the most
trade were New Orleans. Louisville and
81. Louis.
The business proved a perfect success, as
indeed Ii deserved to do. Many women in
the South, blessed with more land than
money, followed Miss Downing's example,
and the business which she left behind her
when she married and came 10 California is
now managed by woman.
Ii can easily be understood that such
practical experience. combined with her
literary abilities, makes Mrs. Brainard well
able to edit paper devoted To the interests
Of the garden and the vineyard.
In the absence of her husband. OF when
he is occupied by his professional duties,
she frequently does edit the pape:. and not
one of the subscribers has ever complained
on that account
She is proud OF the fact that she can do
nearly everything required in the office,
from writing an editorial TO setting the t. pc
or binding the paper.
She is an enthusiastic cyclist, and when
out canvasSing for her paper always 60 es
from place to place on her wheel.
Her interest IN flowers is as warm as
ever. Since coming 10 San Jose she has
BEEN Instrumental in iRstitutIng two socie-
ties-the County Flower So 'iety, of which
she is president and the Flower Mission
for young people.

One of San Jose's best-knOwn insurance
agents Is Mrs. }. NJ. Murphy. Strangers
meeting her for the first time find it difficult
TO realizs how woman OF such sweet and
ucassuming manners can unite with them
the capabilities of an able business man.
1t is by courage, determination. and above
all, by gentle tact. that Mrs. Murphy has
succeeded.
Eyes, ii was hard at the start" she an
swered. smiling. when questioned regard
ing her eleven years experience. "Insur-
ance work is no play. but for the sake of
woman l was determined 10 succeed.
"How | came to begin? The work was
not Of my seeking. The business was
placed 10 my hands, 90 to speak, and l was
asked to continue it,"
without any previous experience?"
Absolutely none. When the books were
handed over to me had no more knowledge
OF the insurance business, nor. indeed, Of any
other business. than child"
"ADd you managed to learn ?"
II was the first woman on the Pacific
Coast who ever attempted the insurance
business, and did not want to establish a
bad precedent for the rest of my sex No
one could have been more kind than the
other agents. Instead of disconraging me-
because L was woman. tney were all
willing TO give me any advice and assistance
in their power"
"And you claimed their help?"
"Nsver," replied Mrs. Murphy. Much
az valued their kindness, | decided from
the first TO 60 to headquarters for advice
10 write directly 10 the companies l repre-
scented. / have always represented good
companies"
1t may have been this habit Of writing

ITO tell you the TRUTH" remarked the
lady agent. naively, there is too much
talking in life insurance to suit my taste.
The mere mention of insurDg their lives
persnades some people that they are about
10 die. Now. with fire Insurance, people
come in because they want 1t.
II always say" pursued Mrs Murphy,
| smiling, that the insurance business Is
like eIeetioDeering-the one who talks last
to man before he goes TO the polls gets his
vote. and the agent who talks last to man
about to insure makes out his policy. OF
course there are exceptions to that, as to
every rule. Some people promise TO insure
with one agent; and no after persuasions
can make them change their minds"
what qualities do you consider help a

STUDENTS IN GERMANY.
How Americans Get Along With Their
German Cousins.

| asked young American doctor who
has been studying in Berlin for the last
twelvemonth, about the cost of his under
taking. says writer 10 Harper's Weekly
The gentleman in question is poor man OF
excellent New England stock. He figures
largely in the social life of the Physicians
Association, and generally keeps up the ap-
pearance OF well-to-do professional man.
He told me he expected to spend 500 be-
fore he landed back in his own town in
Massachusetts,.
Il bought round-trip ticket on the Rot
terdam steamship line" he said. ''as most
of my colleagues do who are forced TO econ
mIze. havs paid my way in every respect
at this university, aud | nave not accepted
one single free lecture. My habits are nat
urally inexpensive. but | have never been
obliged 10 stint myself. Still, with rail-
road and steamer fares, board and lodging,
lecture and high school fees. books and
clothes, / will not exceed my limit OF the
figure named. Seven hundred dollars
is amply sufficient for any Ameri-
can student physician for one years
stay in Berlin. The matricularion fee Is
So, and the attendance on each lecture
course costs from So to $40. The professors
generally charge SO for admittance to their
clinics The physician student capable of
doing original work AT the clinics and labo-
ratories is charged for one semester only.
Some Lectures at the Laboratories are given
free 10y the richer professors. but the STU
dents are obliged 10 pay for their own
chemicals in all cases. All fees are payable
in advance. Most of the American physi-
clan students make a stay of one or two
years. but good many come over for some
special study only. completing their course
In from two TO three months"
"How do the Americans stand with Ger
man students?" inanired
VERY WELL indeed" answered my infor-
maut. THE Germans have found out by
long experience that the Americans must
not De tritied with, and have so far reccded
from their usual bullying attitude toward
freshmen OF our species that they admit
them gladly TO their verbindungsn, with
the proviso that they shall not be asked TO
engage in duels. Many Of our coUnirymen
are members Of the corps, and whenever a
duel or serious paukerei is on the tapis,
one NAV be sure TO find half a dozen Ameri-
can students present. They dearly love 10
sec the sport, but have so far failed to
hear OF any American at this university who
has ever engaged in this crusl pastime.
The Germans. as everybody knows, are
fairly craZy for dueling, and very proud OF
the scars that dis6gure their faces. They
regard them as a sort elaboration, by w hich
they recognize each other as ci-cevant gay
dogs In after lfe."
The American student in Berlin has only
one method OF perfecting himself 10 his
science, namely. to study with the greatest
master OF each special branch, and to do
nothing but study. utilizing at the same
time the ordinary channels of information,
and at the lowest possible cost.
