The OIio Club.

The Clio club is probably the only
vvOman's club gifted with yell" It
is a name which lends itself readily to
oral demonstrate on Oh-oli-O-1i-O'' or
something like that. Yes, depend upon
it, the Clio club is one which is bound
to make a noise and q stir in the world
It is progressive. energetic and full of
righteous aims. The latest achievement
of tho Clio is a summer clubhouse The
idea was projected at a recent screen
meeting of this go ahead club, and
there and then the amount of money
necessary to rent a clubhouse for all
summer was unhesitatingly subscribed.
That was Clio club all overriding what
it had to do both well and quickly.
So the summer club station is now in
full blast. lit has 20 rooms and is stu
ated at Lake Geneva, that idyllic sum-
mer place Of wisconsin And the club
house is ideal to match. At first blush
Of the project it was suggested that the
club members who took turns in So
iourning there should also take care Of
the house But . sensible woman threw
her whole energy into upsetting this
idea go there to rest, - she said,
'and cumber yourself with homework,
and in a week your temper Will be
ruined, and you viii be ready to claw
and to scratch. -
So when the ladies Of first occupancy
undertook to furnish their rooms they
also furnished the place with cook and
second girl and janitor. Several of the
ladies took their own horses and car
riages thither, and there are three boats
belonging to the place, to say nothing
of a piano. though that does seem lit
tie irrelevant
The place Is called ''Sans Souci, - and
the title fits. Each lady furnishes her
own room, so it is deliciously like a
camp out affair Mrs. j. w Thomas
and Mrs Mitchell stand st the head of
the innovation, and members visit there
in turn, taking care to give notice suf-
ficiently far ahead Chicago Post.

The simple people Of Alsace who retain
in their hearts strong love for France at
the same time that they arc DESTROYS not
to offend their German rulers too much
have q hard time of it when they are
brought to the ballot box to vote for rep
resenUatives in the German parliament.
In one election in q certain Alsatian dis
trict the two candidates were Kable an
Alsatian of French sympsthies, who had
protested against the annexation after the
war Of 1870, and German.
On election day peasant came to the
polling place, which was presided over by
a German official. The peasant had in one
hand ticket on which was printed the
name of Kable, and in the other a ticket
bearing the name of the German candi-
date.
s'NIein herr, - he said to the German
election officer, viii you tell me which
of these two tickets is the better one?''
The officer looked at them
why, this is much preferable - said
he indicating the German S ticket
''Ah, I thank you'll answered the peas
ant. Il VIII keep it next my heart. -
He folded IL carefully and put it in his
inside coat pocket.
3" AS for this other, then, said he, with
an air of putting it away from him as an
unworthy thing, I will leave it here!'
And he PIT the 1able ticket in the bal
lot box--Xouth s Companion.

nTemphis women Orvanize.

A most remarkable meeting was held
a few weeks ago in the parlors Of a fash
ionable hotel in Memphis. 1t was q
gathering of a considerable body Of the
city's leading women, socially and phil
anthrOpically regarded, who had come
in response to 4 call for the women in
terested in furthering the manufactur-
ing interests of the city.
It ended in the forming of woman's
auxiliary to supplement the work Of
the Young Mems Business league
Their motto is evidently to be loyal
to Memphis in every way and devoted
to her best interests. They undertake to
secure the Memphis trade for the Mem
phis manufacturer. Other things being
equal, the Memphis buyer is to be urged
to become . patron Of the Memphis
maker.
Schemes for town Improvement have
already been undertaken, and the spirit
of sincerity with which the matter has
been taken MP Is indicated in the pre-
siding officer 's-AIrs- William Ran
dolph-address, who cautioned her lis
teners against the first enthusiasm,
which sometimes dies out, and urged
them to serious, persistent effort
1t is significant that almost every
woman present was q clubw0man and
that Memphis is one OF the most -four
ishing Of women's club ceuters in the
south. This is right IN line with the
work Of club women on every side.
They first organize, consolidate and Try
their own abilities to acquire knOyyl-
edge and information. Then comes the
desire to apply their new found strength
in practical ways. Such IS going to be

regret to see that the powers who
adjudicate upon delicate questions Of
precedence appear to have definitely de-
cided that the Duchess of Coburg shall
be placed on the same footing as the
Princess of Wales. At the time Of tho
last ball commented on the fact that
they entered abreast, but there was some
doubt as to whether it was by accident
or design. All doubts, however, were
set at rest by the scmiafficia1 announce
ment before the ball last Monday that
once more the princess and duchess
would enter side by side p" This is a
concession that ought not to have been
made, and the Duchess of Coburg should
have been relegated to q back seat. In
this country the princess should take
precedence Of every one save the queen
and not admit foreign royalties, how
ever aspiring or acrimonious, to rank
equally with her. London Figaro.

Those who are opposed to the idea are
fond Of the argument that the higher

past been collecting the photographs Of
babies whose mothers have received AMI

has recently presented to Newman col

The alternating current machine IS

operate the three-wire system to which
all lamps within radius OF three

supplied by the alternating current

Power for day use is furnished from
the three smaller dynamos operated

lockwood

Among large class of craftsmen tbs
wish has long been entertained for the
discovery of a hard, compact and even
grained wood, having all the charac-
teristics of lockwood and for which it
would form an efficient substitute. For
many years past the gradual dinin-
ution in the supplies of lockwood and the
deterioration in its quality have proved
serious facts in more than one occupa-
ton, including engravers, hardwood
dealers, etc, especially the former, on
account of the higher price asked for
the material and the difficulty of Sc
curing it of the needed size and firmness
of texture so as to insure the artistic
excellence of the engraving.
While by far the most important use
of this wood is for the engraver's art,
it is also applied TO numerous other
purposes, such, for instance, as weav-
ing shuttles, mathematical instruments,
turnery uses, carving. cabinet work,
etc. The fact is interesting as we'll as
important that lockwood Is the nearest
approach to ivory of any wood known
and will therefore probably increase
gradually in value as it becomes scarcer
Small wood, Under four inches, is used
considerably by fax spinners for rollers
and by turner's for various purposes,
rollers for rink skates, ETC., and if free
from splits is of equal value with the
larger wood.-New York Sun.
