A Boston woman who took lessons
from Jennie Lind, many years ago,
says that the Swedish nightingale was
great scold. Her temper was such
that she would often fly Into a furious
rage, and her husband would have to
ehtice her out of the room To soothe
her, after which she would come back
so very elaborate in her courtesy that
the student hardly dared TO breathe for
fear of starting her off again, The
American confessed that she spent
more of her lesson hour crying than
singing, and added: "Her reprimands
were often personal She would look
at me and calculate, oh, you look so
ugly when you singp 1t was impossible
to resist apologizing for ones appear
ance when she spoke like that, and
that threw her in a new rage"

Working for Charity,

IN d suburban town there is d largs
and fourishing charity organization,
which purposes to look after the poor
of the entire village. Indirectly these
are served also by novel means en-
ployed by the association to raise funds
to carry on its work.
Every Saturday evening are held
what are known as penny sales. All
objects on exhibition cost neither more
nor less than one cent They comprise
bits Of ribbon, of embroidery, and Of
cloth, and are eagerly sought by the
humber classes, who find here odds
and ends invaluable in patching and
darning and making over The great
est difficulty so far has been to sup
ply the demand, though this should not
be so, when every "catch-all" and rag
bag has contents in abundance ut for
this second use, and generally not for
much else.-N. Y. Tribune.

BAD ROADS.
what Glenn Studebaker Said Mt the Annua
Meeting OF the National Wagon Manu-
facturers' Association.

what Glenn studebaker Said at the Annual
Meeting OF the National Wagon Manu-
facturers' Association.
Glenn Stude shaker, of South Bend,
Ind, at the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Wagon Manufacturers associa-
ton, made an interesting talk on good
and bad roads. He said, with emphasis:
II think there is no question before
the public to-day Of greater Importance,
for there is no greater tax upon the
public, and upon the farming commu-
nifty especially, than bad roads There
is nothing in this country that there is
more money wasted on than in
our misdirected efforts to keep
up and improve our roads. I be-
lieve, as many others do that the
government of the United States ought
to take care of the public highways of
this country. The government has
granted subsidies to railways and to
star mail routes, and appropriates
money for river and harbor improve
ments, and why not for better roads?
The idea that some of us have is that a
plan or system should be adopted,
whereby the government should issue
bonds to build these roads These bonds
could be met by taxes that would be
less than the saving to the farmer in
the course of lifetime. The idea is to
have these bonds issued by the town
ship, and have the county and the state,
and finally the nation, indorse them.
Good roads would do more to break
down the barriers that exist between
communities to-day than anything
else. The mechanic would not be so
averse to go to the country to live, and
the result would be for us what 1t has
been for France, in breaking the land
up into small holdings and making the
people independent. The farmer could
then go twenty miles and back any
day in the year, whereas now there are
seasons of the year when the farmer
can not go five miles and back.
would be glad If every member of this
association would take hold and help
create public sentiment. An
other idea that 1 have agi.
tated is that road building
should be placed in charge of the wal
department of the government. We
have any number of officers in the
army with sufficient education as en-
gineers who are practically idle.
would have those men enlist in the
road service.
If we had better roads, every farmer
in the country would take his daily
paper, and would be well informed
and we would have intelligent voters
and people through the country coult
associate more with each other, and W,
would have less ignorance and dis
order and other troubles. Now tn,
whole drift of population is towards
the city, but il we had good roads PEG
pie in the country could travel more
and go many miles and back in tn,
same evening, and people would prefer
to live in the country.
Those of us who have travelled abroad
know there are roads built 1000 year.

No great city In Che world is sup
piled with wider variety OF cheap
fruit than New York Rich Londcners
have the fruits of all zones, but often
at absurd prices II Is not many years
since pincapples at certain seasons
fetched from three to five dollars
apiece in the London markets. Small
ones sell here for ten cents, and very
good ones may be had for twenty-five
cents. The fruit dealers have now
learned how to import pineapples with
less loss in trdnSitu, so that they are not
so great luxury as they once were.
In no great European city far from the
Mediterranean are peaches ever within

HERE AND THERE.

The importance of summer pasture
for hogs can not be exaggerated. What
is now wanted is healthfulness and
growth of frame. The fat can be put
on later-when it is wanted.
"A drug journal reports that the
government investigation of black pep
sin resulted in finding that it is COM
posed of about eighty-three per cent
common salt, two per cent rennet and
fifteen per cent annatto.
There are but few diseases of fowls
in summer. Cholera is very rare, as in
many cases the disease said to be chol-
era is something else, roup and in
digestion being frequently mistaken
for it. Give fresh air at night, with
plenty of fresh water during the day
High roosts will injure the feet Of
the fowls, and also cause lameness.
This is especially the case if the hens
are fat. There is no advantage in a
high roost, especially as it is just as
easy to construct the roosts so as to af-
ford more comfort to the hens by hav-
ing the roosts near the floor
The carcasses of animals can be
made into very high-grade fertilizer
by sprinkling it with dilute hydro
chloric acid. This will cheaply reduce
the carcass, horn, hair, hide, bones and
flesh into a pulp, which is inodorous
and can be kept for any length of time,
either in tact or composted with other
fertilizer.
1t never pays to buy unsound food
for stock because it is cheap. 1t is not
only liable to cost many times more
than it comes to, but it is obtaining
goods under false pretenses. The ami.
mails have earned good food; you "go
through the motions" of feeding them
properly, while all the time you are
playing a mean trick on them and a
practical joke on your fool self; and
you will have to pay for it.
Green food is the natural food OF
fowls in the summer season. It is cool.
ing, possesses all of the elements re-
quired, and is more readily obtained
than any other kind of food. Being
bulky, it contains water, and promotes

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Striking Illustration of the Broadened
Shirt of the Age.

A Striking Illustration of the Broadened
Spirit Of the Age.
The incident of the bestowal by Co
lumbia, at its recent commencement,
of the degree of bachelor of arts upon
eight young women of Barnard college,
affords striking illustration of the
broadened spirit,o of the age as to wom-
ans capabilities and her right to an
equal chance in every sphere of activ-
ity and usefulness. The world is rap
idly outgrowing the old-time conceit of
woman, which subordinated her to the
caprices and authority of the stronger
seT, and deprived her of the use of
natural opportunities of development;
and it is of the proud distinctions Of
American institutions of learning that
they have been foremost in the achieve
ment of this good result. And no in
stitution has been more prompt to rec
ognize, and respond to, the enlarged
conceptions of the time in this particu-
as was stated by President Low in his
address to the graduating class, sit is
now possible for young women not only
to obtain the college degree, but also
to obtain the same long training and
careful preparation which that degree
implies when it is bestowed upon young
men," In other words, the college af-
fords to women all the existing
nrivilepes of advanced education. and
so places within their reach, in every
sphere, the prizes of honorable ambi.
ton. President Low happily stated
the far-reaching scope and influence Of
this enlarged scheme when he said
that, he who has opened up to young
women the opportunities of the higher
education has really done for woman
kind somathing of the same service
which Columbus did for the middle
ages.

Not all readers will agree with the
conclusions of that amieble letter
writer and table-talker, Hazlitt, when
he says that women have more of what

they can not reason wrongly, since
they do not reason at all. They judge
of objects more from their immediate
and involuntary impression on the
mind. Still, II appearances are de-

often have its drawbacks.
