WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

Now They Venture Into Fields Hitherto
Uninvsdcd Save by Man.
Queen Victoria is never seen TO lose
her temper with her interiors, but her
servants know that household arrange.
ments must go as by clockwork, or the
royal lady speedily knows the reason
why. AS rule she calls them by their
christian names and encourages them
to speak freely to her and not to stand
in too much awe of her. She always
inquiries their names when they first
come to the palace, and, despite the
immense size of her household, she
never forSets any of these names. She
is kind mistress and much beloved by
the domestic staff.
There are three famous American
women of letters at present in London.
Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton, Mrs
Kate Douglas Wiggin and Mrs Pratt.
Mrs. Moulton is a welcome annual in
the English metropolis, but this is Mrs

The only sister of Rudyard Kipling is
one of the foremost of Shakespearean
scholars. She is said to know the great
poet better than anyone in England,
always excepting, of course, Halliwell-
Phillips. Miss Kipling's power Of
menorizing is truly phenomenal. Any
where one starts n passage she can
readily match the line, following
straight along chapter and verse,
whether it be play or sonnet. Her
ShaSespeariana is exceedingly fine and
though not an author like her famous
brother, is yet q student and woman of
the finest literary perception.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger is sell
dom seen away from her famous coun-
try seat, ldlesse Farm, on Long Island.
There she lives in semi-royal state, en-
tertaining brilliant house parties occa-
sionally, but most frequently dividing
her time between her writing table
and beloved field and gardens 1t is
said that Mrs. Cruger does not mean to
publish again for year or more, but
she is at present engaged on the mas
terpiece of her successful literary ca
reer.

A WOMAN OF NERVE.
Desperate Battle Between Woodman's
Wife and a Hungry Boar.

Desperate Battle Between a Woodman's
Wife and Hungry Boar.
A desperate battle took place few
days ago between famished she bear
and the wife of Amos Corey, a woods
man on the Upper Beaverkill, near
Turnwood N. Y, says the New York
Times For several days bear tracks
had been seen in the neighborhood,
and once a good-sized bear had been seen
crossing the road near Corey's cabin.
The other morning Corey started with
rifle and dogs to hunt down the animal,
and had been gone about an hour
when his wife heard great commo-
tion in the dooryard Just then little
dog ran into the house yelping with
error and covered with blood. Mrs.
Corey, thinking of the bear, seized
keen bladed AK from the rack and shut
ting her baby and little boy in bed
room ran into the yard. There she
saw a huge she bear rolling and
tumbling among the sawdust and chips
of the woodpile, while over it hovered
a swarm of honey bees The bear
had upset half dozen hives of bees,
and the little creatures were having
their revenge. Mrs. Corey watched the
battle for awhile and then she made
stroke at bruin with the AK, infiicting
severe wound in the animals side.
With howl the bear rushed upon her,
unmindful Of the bees. Rising upon its
hind legsit advanced upon the woman
and tried to hug her Mrs. Corey piled
the AK with energy, and after several
blows struck the animal in the head,
killing it instantly. She received dur.
ing the battle a blow from one of the
bears paws which badly lacerated one
If her arms, After the bear had been
killed the bees swarmed about Mrs.
Corey, singing her severely. They
finally rested on the bushes near by,
where she succeeded in hiving them.
Afterward she was surprised to find
that two little cubs had come out of
the brush and were smelling about
their dead mother. She captured them
and after feeding them with warm
milk they became quite tame. She will
keep the cubs and raise them

Danger in School Pencils.
THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH SOUNDS A NOTE OF WARN
ING.

There is poison in lead and slate
pencils-at least so the department OF
health of Minnesota decides. Indeed,
so serious is the situation that Health
Commissioner Hoyt has issued the
following communication to the boards
of education E:
In the majority of our public schools
all pencils used by the pupils are col.
lected daily at the close Of the school,
taken care of by the janitor during
the night and indiscriminately distri-
buted among the scholars in the morn.
ing. This practice is very danger
Gus one and must be stopped at once.
Children engaged in the use Of pencils
will invariably hold the same in their
mouth. Very often a pupil will at
tend school, sometimes several days,
suffering from a mild case of diphth-
eria before the same has been dlscov-
cred by its parents or physicians. The
scholar will use the pencil as afore-
said. The next day it will fall into
the hands Cor mouth) Of some pupil,
and in this very simple manner cause
numerous cases of diphthcria, the
origin of which has heretofore been
unaccountable. AS remedy, would
suggest, first, that each pupil be al
lowed to retain his or her own pencil,
and be strictly forbidden to lend or
exchange it. If this cannot be done,
the janitors must then disinfect the
pencils daily.

The greatest bridge builder in the
world is the spider, says the New York
Sun. "There is point on the Mer.
rimac River, not far from the Mis-
souri, Pacific bridge, where a large
spider made bridge clear across a
distance of over 200 feet. He first
sent out a flyer, sort of kite string
which was carried across the stream
by the breeze and lodged in a tree op.

to other branches, and thus fifty feet

Dueiing Unavoidable Sometimes.

Baron Won Bauer, Austrian minister
of war, said at n sitting of the budget
committee of the Austrian delegation
the other day that the present condi-
tion of society did not permit of the
abolition of dueling. He did not ap-
prove of duels in principle, but many
classes of the population would not, in
the event of abolition of dueling, adopt
any less forcible method of settling
their differences, but would have re-
course TO ''rougher means" the fist, the
stick or the revolver. In his opinion
there was nothing to be said against an
officer who might decline to fight a
duel, but he recommended those op-
posed to dueling to avoid the society of
those by whom they might be insulted
and TO take care not TO offend Others -

Street Fakes and Fakirs,

The old truism that "you can fool
all the people some Of the time, and
some of the people all Of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people al
of the time" has long been respected
as one of the most epigramatic ex-
pressions of which Lincoln ever de-
livered himself But to the surprise
of those theorists who have claimed
that with each succeeding year the
percentage of inte ligence of people
has increased, they are forced to ac-
knowledge that more people are an
nually being "roped in" by various
"fake' schemes and schemers than
ever before.
Of course this is due in part to the
increased number Of such methods Of
making money by quilting the people.
Every day we hear of some new
scheme by which the credulous have
been taken IN and not only the ig-
norant are duped, but men and wo.
men of all classes have found them.

all unknown though oily tongued
stranger. Perhaps many of these loss
es can be credited to a blind avarice
that leeds men into "get rich quick"
and "soap bubble" speculations and
there are thousands Of such which are
never heard of, simply because the
people who have lost in them keep
quiet to conceal their plight.

The Generosity of ChIcagO's Wealthy CitI-
Eens-A Recent Case In Point.
How would the City of Magnificent
Donations" do for new nickname for
Chicago? Hardly a month goes by with
out one or more of her many public
spirited wealthy citizens donating nice
pot of money to found or foster some in
stitution of scientific utility or practical
benevOlence in the community where
they have amassed their fortunes, and it
looks sometimes as if there were an emu
lative competition between them as to
who should be foremost in the number
and amount of his gifts.
Marshall Fields magnificent gift of
81 ,0OO, 900 for the endowment of the Co
lumbar Memorial museum is a recent
case in point. Some of the Worlds fair
directors wanted to found museum
where the scientific collections made for
them could be properly and permanently
housed and cared for. In canvassing the
matter they discovered that they could
add many of the valuable private collec-
tons exhibited at the fair if the proposed
museum was established. Then they ap-
pealed to Marshall Field, and his gen
crosby has made secure the foundation
of an institution unrivaled either in the
United States or abroad.

Nothing in the bathroom should be so

That but little consideration Is given to
it is daily shown in the forlorn and neg
lected condition of this very necessary
adjunct to cleanliness. Instead of being
left to dry in the sponge basket, it is, as
a rule, dropped down in some corner
and allowed to soak or given a one sided
chance on the sill outside the room. 1t
is simply useless TO expect to keep your
sponges in a sweet and wholesome con-
dition so long as they are treated in this
manner. In the first place, they must
not only be thoroughly washed. but in
order to prevent their becoming foul
each part of the sponge should be ex.

it into Your basket. which should h
