Qualifications of a Newspaper Woman.

AAGbA
If the young newspaper woman be wise,
self confidence is the journalistic armor she
will sselect first and wear on the outside.
With self confidence there are other quail
fications which she must possess. That she
should have a good education and some
worldly experience goes without saying.
She will also need tact, a cool head, clear
judgment. the ability to think and act
quickly, a good understanding of human
nature, and, above all, an up again and
take another spirit which no amount of dis
enlargement can break. She will be tired
and disappointed and heartsick much Of
tener than even her intimate friends i'm
agine. The good work of one day will be
o~vershadowed by failure on the next, and
her record begins anew each morning that
she reports for duty, and on the days work
she must stand or fall back.
1t is the old story of the cat climbing out
of the well. Her sex will hinder 100 times
to once that it helps her. Her air castles
that she has spent months in erecting may
be demolished by a word. Her best work
will be taken as a matter of course and
anything less than her best as a deliberate.
ly planned and personal injury. If at last
a combination of these conditions leads the
unfortunate woman to lie down, fold her
hands over her tired heart and conduct a
funeral over her own remains, 10 to / she
will be called Upon to write a page story,
and Of course it must be done at once.
The true reporter will be able to resurrect
that corpse and write that story.-Elizabeth
G. Jordan in Lippincott's.

The Color IF the Skv.

The influence of dust and water particles
in producing colored effects in the sky Is
well known. 1t is due to dust that the sky
is blue II the sunset crimson or orange.
Tie PARTICLES of volcanic dust which filled
the air after the eruption of Krakatoa made
the sun appear BLUSH green in India and
elsewhere. A pretty experiment in the ac'
ton of colored light may be performed with
n metal tube with glass ends connected to
an air pump. Any sudden expansion OF
the air causes n cloudy condensation to set
tie, and when the air in the tube is expand
cd the light passing through it becomes
beautifully colored.-London Public Opin'

Selling Goods ut Auction.

1t used to be common for auctionccrs to

Treatment of Children.s Questions.

How common 81 thing it is to hear a
child's question impatiently and even coll
t%emptuously condemned as silly" Yet
in most cases Of the kind the Stiffness is
not with the child, but with the older per-
son who fails to understand how Il child's
mind works. Every child has in%voluutarily
a feeling OF distrust for grown up people,
which is only expelled through trust in
the love of its parents. This trust once
thoughtlessly abused and shaken may per-
haps never be restored to its original purity
and strength. And who could have the
heart deliberately to impair such sweet
contidence:-Popular Science Monthly.

Demand For Homemade Cooking.

A couple Of years ago an Augusta grocer
spoke of the fact that his customers were
constantly expressing n desire for old fash
toned cookies and gingerbread. His wife's
skill in cooking is noted. and in her spare
moments she cooked u large batch of these
toothsome dainties and persuaded her hus-
band to put them on sale. They instantly
went, and the demand was for more. Now
when she bakes for home use she works as
we'll for the store. and there is a constant
demand for her culinary products that is
just about four times as great as the sup
ply. In less than TWO years she has sold
about 5000 worth of gingerbread and cook
les. and she has had, we hope, the prettiest
bonnets in Augusta. There's Il hint in all
this for needy women perhaps-but first
learn to cook.-Lewiston journal.

In his youth. This statement was borne
out by the results of the statistical inquiry
undertaken by DR.. Beddoe, who examined
30 women and found that 800 were bru-
nettes and IS, blends. Carrying this in
quiry u step further, DIR. Beddoe learned
that 1S.5 per cent OF the brunettes had hus-
bands, while only is per cent of the blends
were married. From this it appears that
In England Il brunette has ten chances of
being welded to the nine chances of the
blond, and DIR. Beddoe went on to argue
that "the English are becoming darker be-
cause the men persist. in selecting the dark
haired women rs wives.' The same thing
ia happening in Germany, in France, in
Switzerland and elsewhere on the CONT
nent.-New Orleans Picayune.

The Badger States Record.

New York's day at the Worlds fair was
a big one but Wisconsin's day was bigger.
There were no speeches, but the paid at
tendance exceeded that on New York DIV
by more than $4,000. The figures for the
two state days were: New York, 100. 1928:
Wisconsin, 172,75. Considering tho dis.
lance the people of the Empire state had
to travel, the record they made was excel
lent, but it must be remembered also that
they had the advantage of Labor Dav.
Wisconsin was doubtless assisted by tho
New Workers who stayed over and by the
Pcnnsylvanians who came in advance of
their particular day.

The Fascinating Akron.

Idon't think many women realize how
much men admire aprons. Even a big ging-
ham one in which the wcarer is almost lost
has its charm, while rs for the pretty ones
which are made out Of little scraps of lace
and a bit OF muslin they are simply %irresist-
ible. There is a businesslike, matronly air
about them that men like, and the more
they make fun of the small garments the
more they are pleased at heart. Always
make the aprons with bibs, or you may as
well leave them alone. The bib isthe crown
ing glory OF the entire garmcnt.-Jenncss

For thousands Of years refined femininity
has delighted in needicwork. And even in
our day, when the ingenuity of man has in
vented the wonderful machines that work
with such absolute accuracy and exquisite
detail. n%cedlework, pure and simple, has
never been held in higher estimation or
taken as a greater indication of refinement
and dainty living. Handmade underwear
is therefore in as great demand as ever in
spite of the perfection Of machinery. and
there are quantities of rich and ultra fastid-
ious women who never allow machine work
of any kind upon their body linen. All the
fine stitching, elaborate embroidery and
even the lace itself must be made by hand.
When it is considered that a great number
OF women are necessarily helped to make a
livelihood by such pretty extravaganza. it
is seen to be a fad that cannot be too high
ly commended, but while milady INDUCES
her luxurious instincts her kind heart
should teach her to be womaply as well as
dainty, and she should order these ''cun-
ningly wrought garments" from the sewing

The Company Dishes.

If the best china is only used on state oc-
c%asions, how can the children be expected
to handle china gracefully by and by? If
the parlor is kept locked, how can you en-
pect a child to sit or stand easily in parlors
by and by? Men are only boys grown
tall" The finest things on the earth are
not too fine for home. The most beautiful
things on the earth are not too beautiful
for everyday use. The sweetest behavior
in the world is not too good for father and
mother, wife and child, son and daughter.

How to Secure Pure Air In a Kitchen.

How to Secure Pure Air In a Kitchen.
The reason SO many housekeepcrs suffer
with neuralgia is because they live in such
an o%verheated air. With odors of cooking
growing rank about the upper part of the
o and breathing foul air out of the sink
drain they become enfeebled by heat and
victims of thorough blood poisoning. Per.
sons who live constantly in such rooms do
not notice the bad air, and the worst con-
ditions do not always smell the worst.
There should be a brick knocked out of the
chimney just below the ceiling, and an iron
or tin slide put in it's place. to be kept open

When Children Are Afraid of the Dark.

that children are subject to hallucinations,

A Noted German Teacher.

Fraulein Helene LANCE stands undoubt-
edly at the head of the movement for the
advancement of woman in Germany today.
for she devotes her life to making known
to the world an important truth, the root
OF the whole matter, in fact, the present
false method employed in the education of
female youth. 1.-The education of woman
by woman" is Fraulein Lange's battlecrv.
and to carry out'this principle in Germany
necessitates a revolution in the entire sys-
tenn of female education that the next gen.
GRAFTON at least may see women teachers fit
to instruct the youth Of their sex. To
bring about this revolution is the object.
to attain which Fraulein LANCE spares no
time or labor.
Helene Lange was born in Oldenburg in
1s48, the only girl among several brothers
brought up by a widowed father. The lack
of female restraint and the freedom of
childhood in a small town gave her un.
usual liberty in word and deed and laid the
foundation in earliest youth for the liber-
alism of ideas and broad mental horizon
which characterize her every action. A
wise father guided her reading with every
care, and after his death, when Helene had
reached the age Of 16, she was sent by his
arrangement, to the house of a clergyman
in Wurtemberg, who carried on the girls
education according to the wishes of his
deceased friend.
A year later Helene Lange returned to
her grandparents in Oldenburg, but the
purposeless life of a girl of comfortable
means aud good position was not to her
taste, and when unable to stand it longer
she left for Alsatia to take a position as
teacher of German in u French school. Here
she resolved to devote her life to teaching,
and then began years of untiring study,
which although interrupted by severe trou-
BILE with her eyes enabled her to pass the
examination for teachers in Berlin in 1872.
Fol- years she has been principal of a sem
mary for teachers, an institution she was
largely instrumental establishing.-Busi-
ness Woman's journal.

Character In the Teeth.

A caution to the woman story writer of
q certain sort who is apt to rhapsodize over
the small white pearls" which she puts in
her heroine's mouth is found in the words
of a dentist heard recently.
"Undersized teeth" he says, ARE evil
dences of understood character. Small
teeth are not to be desired, no matter how
white and regular they may be. They IN
dicate a small nature almost invariably,
especially in women"

Maid Of Honor,s Wedding Present.

1t is a fact not generally known, but
maids of honor to thequeen, although their
duties are wcarisome and the salary a small
one. considering the inevitable cost of their
costumes, have one golden chance. If a
maid OF honor marries during her term of
duty, the monarch gives her the handsome
little present Of $1,000.

A Recipe For a Delicate Custard.

A delicate invalid custard is made as fol-
lows: Beat up 2 eggs, mix in half a pint
of milk, sugar to taste, and some vanilla,
lemon or nutmeg flavoring. When well
stirred, pour the mixture into a buttercd
basin, cover with buttered paper and steam
in a saucepan of boiling water, which
should come about half way up the basin,
for half an hour.

So many things happened ON California's
Day that some of the best were but indif-
ferently reported. That 9th of September,
1850, was indeed a memorable day in the
annals Of these United States, for on that
day President Fillmore set his autograph
to the many acts which terminated the
longest and stormiest session of congress
ever held before the war era. BY that
series of acts the status of all the region
acquired from Mexico was fixed, the terri
tories were organized on a uniform plan
which has continued ever since, and "the
slavery controversy was put to sleep for
ever"-so they said! The next year, how
ever, Harriet Beecher Stowe walked it up.
BY one act California, without the slow
process of a territorial childhood, sprang
at once into statehood, like Minerva fully
endowed and armor-clad from the brain of
Jupiter. And of the territories then created
New Mexico and Utah alone remain,
though deprived of half their original
areas.
Well, there was SO much history to COM
memolate on that day that the splendid
showing of the Transportation depart
meut was a trile Obscured in some minds.

Women Who Do Not Grow Old.

Don't despair and give up to a fit of

which you suddenly realize that you are
growing DID," said a sunny tempered wom-
an of 40. st will give you pain, make
your heart feel like a Of lead-I know
all about it-but you must rise above it.
Woe to the woman who lets such a reali-
cation push aside her youthful schemes,
and. above all, don't try to deceive about'
your age. It will do no good, for some
neighbor is living whose Jane or Susan was
born about the time o were, and she has
kept the fact fresh in mind all these years,
and she will give you away sooner or later.
Men don't mind very much a woman's tib-
bing about her age, but women do, and
they will make it disagreeable for you"
The fact is women think Of the time
when they We're II or 20, how they looked
and what they did then, and they keep on
growing old with that one picture in mind.
The only way for a woman to fully realize
how she seems to others is to gather about
her a half dozen women OF her own age,
whom 10 70 ] she has been in the habit of
thinking Of as older than herself. 80
Mrs. jerks and are about the same age"
This is said with Il sigh by the one who adj
mits that all along she has considered Mrs.
jerks middle aged, but has felt herself
much younger.
How a woman's face will brighten when
some one she has not seen for several years
tells her she does not look a day older than
when she last saw her! This may be only
a social fiction, but it pleases. Oh, the pa
thos of all those little subtle schemes at
tempted by woman, who cuts out of the
newspapers the articles headed, "How to
Grow Old Gracefully" or Young at Forty"
