The California Midwinter Interna-
tiOnal exposition has had one result in
the formation of a Woman's Congress
association, which is to hold its meet
ing this month, and which promises to
be almost as brilliant and interesting as
the wonan's congress of the World s
fair. The president of the board of man
ayers is Mrs. Abby Cheney, who is
prominent in musical art and was for
merly president of the Century club.
She is said to have great executive abil
ity combined with the dignity and grace
which made Mrs. Potter Palmer so adj
mirable a presiding officer. She is the
wife of John Vance Cheney, the poet.
On the board of managers are such
women as Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, the
noted kindergarten and president of
the Golden Gate Normal Training
school; Mrs. Edna Smell Poulson, anoth-
er famous educator, and Mrs Charlotte
Perkins Stetson, the writer, sociologist
and reformer.
Mrs. May Wright Sewan and Mrs.
Henrotin, the vice president of the wo-
mans auxiliary of the Worlds fair, are
among the speakers for May, and the
board hopes to have Mrs. Potter Palmer
deliver an address. The number of
bright California women who will talk
is legion Among them are Margaret
Collier Graham of Pasadena, a writer
of short stories; Theodosia B. Shepherd
of Horticultural fame; Harriet M. Strong,
ON reform and social questions; Mrs.
Sarah Pratt Carr, on the outlook of Cal
ifornia literature, and Mrs. Mary F. Nc
Roberts, who is well known in English
political circles, on the legal status of
women in different countries.

within reach of the poor. One of the
greatest needs in the city, say the ladies,
are means of amusement for young wo-
men away from home. This department
will be in charge of Miss Jessie Patton,
who will conduct the classes in physical
culture and organize dramatic corps
among the girls of the club, entertain
ments being given in the clubhouse,
which contains an auditorium capable
of holding 200 people Graduates of the
Cook county hospital will have charge
of the home nursing department, which
will include knowledge of simple rem
edies in the family and ready aid to the
injured. Well known society ladies who
have had experience in training serv-
ants will take charge of the housekeep-
ing department. The idea is to develop
a system that will bear the same rela-
ton to the educational world for the
training of girls that the kindergarten
does for children. The association will
shortly erect a handsome St. Andrew s

Desiccated COcoanut.

A writer, describing the manufac-
ture of desiccated cocoanut, states that
the husked nuts come to this country
in burlap bags containing about one
hundred each, and are sold from the
vessel at $50 to $50 a thousand. In
the preparation of the nut it is first
set on end and struck with hammer,
and the shell and kernel cracked at
the same time. The outer shell is then
removed and the nut passed along to
the peelers, who remove the skin. An
expert can shell as many as 5000 nuts
in a day, and a first-class hand can
peel as many as 1900. The kernels
are then put through grating ma
chine having capacity of 1000 a day.
About seventy pounds of grated
material are placed in each of series
of heated galvanized pans resting on
steam pipes, and from eight to
thirty pounds of granulated sugar are
added to each pan. After drying
about twelve hours the material is
passed through a sieve and packed in
boxes and barrels. Home and Farm.

Common Sense Eye Treatment.

DR.. F. G. Heath, in plea for lit
tie common sense in the treatment of
the eyes, says that in treating diseased
or strained eyes rest-rest of eyes,
body and minds imperative, and
wind, dust and smoke must be avoid
ed. In all eye trouble. the first atten-
ton must be paid to the general
health. Among the abuses of the eye
to be religiously abstained from DR..
Heath cites: Reading with a poor
ight-requiring the ciliary muscles

This applies to dim light, twilight.
sitting too far from the light, etc. the
error OF posture y stopping or lying
down congests the eye, besides requir-
cles; reading on trains. This is
cruel strain, as the motion of the car
causes such frequent changes of focus
and position as to tax different sets of
muscles. Another fertile cause of eye
disease is reading without glasses or
with badly fitting ones. Aside from
the we'll known reflex effects of eye
strain the danger to the eye is that ex-
cessive eye strain is factor in produc-
ing disease of almost every part of the
eye, its most serious results being
choroiditis, glaucoma and cataract.
DR.. Heath urges every one to find out
just how to take the greatest care of
his eyes and so preserve his sight
many years beyond the period they
would otherwise serve him. Old age
is the time of retribution of eye sin
ners; but little can then be done in
special hygienic way beyond occasion
al stimulating washes and the careful
outstanding of what sight remains. -

A Backwoods Piano Factory.
ssThere was a piano factory


There was piano factory at
Wartburg, Tenn, before the war"
said L. ID. Dodge, of that State, at the
Laciede. ''The singular thing abont
it is that Wartburg was about one
hundred miles from the nearest rail-
road, and in the heart of the Cumber-
land Mountains. The wood of which.
the instruments were made had to be
brought from New York, and then
hauled one hundred miles over
the mountains to Wartburg, which
was a German colony. The pianos
were made by a practical musician,
and when an instrument was ordered
he would finish up the different
parts at Wartburg and then haul them
to the home of his customer, generally
many miles away, and put up the
piano there. One of them is now at
Wartburg, and the building where they
we're made still stands, although no
longer used as piano manufactory.
The town, which consists of about two
hundred people, is away from the rail-
road, and has not grown since tho
war. The homemade instrument made
over thirty years ago is still in good
order and in constant use. "-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Exciting Sport in California.

It is said that in the tule lands,
around Suisan, CAL, many wild hogs
are found, as ferocious and as hard to
kill as the wild hogs of Germany. One
OF these beasts recently killed measured
from the tip of his snout to the root of
the tail more than six feet, and had
tusks fourteen inches long. Though
it had no superAuous flesh, it weighed
420 pounds. The skin on It's shoulders
was three inches thick, and as tough
as leather. The hogs have been run
ming wild in the marshes for a long
time, and are savage enough to furnish
better sport than some other animals,
which are generally reputed to be
more dangerous. A party was formed
to kill a particular boar that had been
roaming the tule lands for several
years, in spite OF the efforts of local
hunters to bring him to bay. The
tracks of the boar was found and he
was traced to q patch of dense reed
grass. The hunters invaded it from
different points, and one of them sud-
denly came upon the animal His com.
panions heard the report of his gun,
and the next instant saw the mans
body thrown into the air fully ten feet.
Going to his rescue, a second hunter
was charged by the beast. One shot
brought him to his knees, but even
then he rose and rushed on his assail-
ant again. A second ball penetrated
the brain, and he rolled over dead.
The man who was thrown into the air
was not seriously injured, but received
bruises which laid him up for con-
siderable time. New Orleans Picsyune.
