Miss Schreiner Mt Home and Abroad.

Miss Olive Schreiner arrived in Lon
don the other day from the Cape, but
it is not likely that she will make a long
stay in England as her arrangements
point to lengthy sojourn on the CONT
nent. Though the distinguished novel
list of South Africa shuns observation
and lives in very retired fashion, she is
not the recluse many people believe, and
as the friend of suffering humanity in all
its many phases she is certain Of warm
welcome wherever she goes.
1t is expected that Miss Schreiner will
soon publish new novel. Indeed it is
limited that her principal object in visit
ing London just now is to place the man
uscript of it in publishers hands, and
that in order to have it finished before
she left home she discontinued for the
present the series of sketches of South
Africa, few of which appeared in the
periodical press some time ago. Schreiner
House, Matjesfontein, the home of the
author of THE Story of an African
Farm" is about 200 miles from Cape
Town, and an idea of its seclusion may
be had when it is stated that Miss
Schreiner was on the verge of woman
hood before ever she set eyes upon a
town.-London Chronicle.

The "Colorless" Woman.

1t is curious thing that the colorless
woman-the woman with no mind of her
own, that is-generally goes in for gowns
to match. notice that she usually af-
fects the most insipid, most uninterest-
ing shades of gray, fanny grays and
drabs. Her taste in dress, like her char
bcter, is indefinite, She is vague wom-
an Good, sweet, and amiable," no
doubt, though there is not much virtue
in being good if you have not the capac-
lty for being bad, but monotonous like
her clothes. This is the type of person
who looks upon cigarette smoking among
ladies as "disgraceful"- from con-
viction, of course, for she couldn't think
seriously for couple of minutes about
anything, but because it isn't conven-
tonal. The person who habitually says
"disgraceful' always amuses me.-Miss
Matalini in Pail Mall Budget.

GOOD DAIRY RECORD.

A friend in Morrisville sends the
following item:
c. F. Smith is milking 80 cows
and making 800 pounds of butter in
a week. Since Januury 1, he has
sold 1927 pounds of butter. A daily
record is kept of each cows milk,
and all milk is tested monthly. 1t
takes 1873 pounds of milk for one OF
butter. The item is followed by the
question How is this'
There can be one answer, a most
excellent record.
This would be at the rate of 9as
pounds a week for each of the 80
COWS, which is large yield for so
many and the season of the year, al
though it is probable that they are so
well cared for that as good returns
are obtained in winter and spring as
when at pasture. From the figures,
the amount per COW up to the fore
part of May would be 144 pounds.
At this rate the herd ought to reach
or average 800 per COW.
Nothing is said about breeds of
cows or feed, but from the amount
of milk required for a pound of but
ter-5ls pounds-it must be rich IN
fat.
1t takes good COWS, with the best
care, to produce such results, and the
mention of the weighing and testing
of the milk from each COW, shows
that the owner knows what he is
about, and it is quite evident that a
poor cow will not retain her place
in the herd,-[St. Adams Messenger.

A Good Use For Last Seasons Dresses.

The enormously increased price of
woman's gowns, it is claimed by the
dressmakers, is due to the portentous
size of the sleeves. Eight yards of silk
is reported as the allowance made for
these befrilled and bepuffed elements of
the gown in Paris, which accounts per-
haps for the fashion of using different
material for the sleeves. Anyway the
women who are dcspairingly question
ing, "What shall we do with our last
seasons gowns?" may find here the hap
Ply solution of the question-make them

Caution In Wearing Wells.

Some wise women ought to write the
decalogue of wells, and all women ought
to make it mandatory for themselves.
Nothing makes or mars pretty face so

nations wherewith women elected to dis

them looked as if they had just been dis

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. 27.-The
courts of Pike and Letcher counties,
KY, have just established the title Of
the John C. Craig heirs to a large
landed estate of 20, 900 acres in the rich
coal fields of eastern Kentucky, the es-
timated value of the property being
81, 600, 900. About five years ago John
Helm, an attorney of Louisville, was
examining the records of Pike county,
when he accidentally discovered that
a title for 90, 900 acres of land was clear
to the heirs of John Craig. He began
to look into the matter. Continuous
work since then has estab lished the
claims of the rightful heirs. The fol-
lowing are the names of some OF the
heirs: Mrs Eliza Dennis, Indianapolis;

SCHEMERS DEFEATED.

Futile Efforts Of tho Republican Minority
to Obstrucs Tarin Reform.
Those republican molders of public
opinion who have been trying to fasten
responsibility for the financial condi-
ton of the country on the democratic
party are beginning to realize the
hopelessness of their task. When tho
attempt to repeal the Sherman act as .
measure of relief was first seriously
considered, they took the ground that
the scarcity of available money and the
business depression were not the re-
suit of the silver purchasing law. but
of the prevalent dread among the in
dustrial and commercial classes of the
country that the existing tariff laws
ould be revised in accordance with
the policy for which the party had de-
clared and to enforce which it was
elected. Some of the republican SEN
ators anC representatives expressed
this view in congress and it was gem
orally acquiesced in to the extent of
silence on the part of those who are
specially favored under the high pro-
tective system, they believing at the
time the Sherman law would be re-
pealed and the financial stringency re-
lieved, while at the same time strong
blow might be struck for the retention
of the Mckinley legislation under the
impression created that it is necessary
to the prosperity of the country.
But the action of the minority in tho
senate and its stubborn refusal to
grant the demand for repeal have been
the means of compelling the great
manufacturing interests of the country
to show their hands and confess that
the repeal is necessary for the financial
preservation of the country, thereby
confessing that the tariff scare was
only created for selfish partisan and
trade interests and that it was without
foundation in fact The unprincipled
suggestion of Senator Don Cameron
that the purchase OF silver be continued
in order that the republicans in con-
gress might be sufficiently strength
ened to prevent a reform of the tariff,
was promptly sat down upon by the
manufacturers of the country, and no.

They are unanimous in their demands

cable course of the senate. In none Of
the appeals from the manufacturers
and the commercial organizations to
congress is there any expression OF fear

WHAT ABOUT THE GiRLs3

Even Those with Good Incomes Arc Put
ting Their Time to Value.
Very much has been said on the sub
ject of girls with independent incomes
or well-to-do parents going into bust
ness or taking up any means Of liveli-
hood, and severe and, it would seem,
very unjust criticisms have been in
dulged in.
1t is claimed by working woman and
their champions that for a girl with a
good home or an income to go into
business or take remunerative work to
do is unjust to those who are depend
ant on their own exertions for q living.
Just where the justice of such criticism
comes in it would be difficult for any
philosopher to decide. No one thinks
it strange, indeed it is quite the proper
thing, when a boy on or before arriv-
ing at maturity goes out into the world
to earn his living. However wealthy
his father may be seems to make no
difference; indeed, under such circum-
stances, industry and application to
business are looked upon as oil the
more praiseworthy, but, for some mys-
terious reason, the girl is not allowed
this privilege.
This appears to be but another of the
relics of barbarism which unfortunate
~ cling like barnacles to the ship Of
progress.
Every body has right to earn a liv-
ing, or any portion Of it, by whatever
honorab bic occupation he may see fit to
take up Whether it be man or a
woman matters not.
Some years ago when the subject Of
women coming into business first be-
came generally agitated, the idea was
frowned upon on the ground that If
women took up business pursuits men
would be crowded out of the positions
they had so long occupied.
But while croakers croaked and pessi-
mists were sure that chaos would come
very soon. women went straight on in
the pursuit of the various vacations
which they had chosen. and nothing
serious came of it.
It would be rather laughable affair
were anyone to make that objection
nowadays, and the cry that well-to-do
girls should not work lest somebody
else suffer will some day be accounted
quite as absurd as the same cry applied
to young men of fortune.
There is plenty of work in the world
for both boys and girls.-N. Y. Ledger
