iRREPRESSIBLE WOMAN.
shr Ia Supplantlng Mon as Steamboat Cap

Women are steadily extending THEN
field of labor and securing positions in
the most masculine character of scrv-
ice. Each year sees them engaging in
occupations that had been considered
as possible only for men to perform.
In Nebraska woman owns and per-
sonally operates travelling steam
threshing-machiIlc outfit and goes
about the county with it and makes
her own contacts. There are two
women captains of steamboats, on the
Mississippi river each one holding q
United States marine license as cap
tain. One owns her own boat; the
other boat is owned by u company OF
merchants. There is another woman
captain of a steamer on Puget sound.
There are three women pilots on the
Mississippi river, all holding licenses.
In shingle saw-mill in Washington
state two women work on the shingla
machine, and at another mill in the
same locality a woman runs the DUN

A Sad Change.

An occasional wise old man Is found
who does not remember that he Is not
as young as he was once. Many Others
arc painfully conscious of this fact.
In London, in the time of George w.,
there was an athletic and dashing mill
itary man, Major Bracebridge by name
and title, who, when he found his
powers waning, retired to his country
house and seldom showed himself in
society Many years later be had oc.
casion to go up to London, and there
met a lady who had known him in his
younger years. "Dear mel" she ex'
claimed, "aren't you Major Brace.

LEISURE HOURS.
In Them the Character Largely Receives
Its Formation.


Its Formation.
No part of our time is more fraught
with responsibility than our leisure
hours. Time is money to him whose
main purpose is to make money; but to
him whose first aspiration is to acquire
character, time is character. 1t is in
leisure time that one feels the fullest
freedom of the will. Our busy times
are busy partly by sort of compulsion
of necessity OF of habit. We are hard
ly conscious of a deliberate choice in
the matter of their occupation. But in
the disposal of our leisure time, we are
conscious of free, full and in
depe ndent use of the will. 1t
is this matter of willing that
terminates and roots character.
Says Herbart, the eminent German
pedagogue: "Thc will is the seat of
character; the kind of decision of the
will determines the species of char
acter." 1t is in his leisure time, there
fore, that man gives the set to his
character. Equally with the opera
tion of breathing and the beating OF
the heart, the understanding
process is itself without leisure, with
out vacation, whether we would have
it so or not. This is a thought for
weekday and Sunday, for the winter
evening, and conspicuously for the
summer vacation-S S. Times.

The cost of modern private cars
ranges from $4,000 to $4,000. About
thirty such vehicles are in use. They
rent for $50 day when the car is used
for less than twenty days. Beyond
that time the charge is S45 day. This
includes the service of chef, porter
and attendants of the palace-car com
panies, while those who charter the
cars may stock their larder at theil
own expense or pay the palace-car com
pany for doing so. The transportation
charges are, of course, paid by the per
son or party chartering the car, but
every detail of the itinerary arranged
is looked after by the company's off

FOR RAINY EVENINGS.
A Geographical Pronunci alton Contest Az
fords Amusa ment.

fords Amusemen
To pass the time pleasantly and gen,
crate little rivalry nothing is better
than a contest for an evenings enter
tainment. Our grandparents realized
this when they hid their spelling
matches, and at apple-parings, and
corn-huskings strove to see who could
get the biggest pile
A grandchild of the spelling match is
geographical pronunciation con-
test For this two captains" are Sc
lectcd, who 'choose up" one person
being left to act as leader. When all
are ready the leader pronounces some
letter from the alphabet-any letter he
may happen to think of-and at once
commences to audibly slowly count
five. Before he has finished the
captain previously agreed upon
must pronounce some geographical
name commencing with the letter
mentioned. Failing to do this, he
must take his seat. The leader pro-
nounces another letter and counts as
before, and the captain on the other
side must respond before the time is
up, and so on, alternating down each
line. The last one down is declared
the victor.
Another contest which calls for some
work and rapid thinking is to trans
pose correctly the misplaced letters OF
words. For each guest prepare a list
of fifteen or twenty words-names
of flowers, noted men, countries or ami
mails are goodwill the letters of each
were transposed, and after distributing
the lists and pencils give twenty min
utes for the contest. This contest re
quires work, and the one correctly
making out the greatest number O
names is well entitled to prize, which
in case the list is of flowers, may very
appropriately be a bouquet in a pretty
vase. The "booby" also should be re
membered. One would little think a
first glance that the words geranium

THE SPEAKING.
A Big Crowd in Town and
Badges Numerous.

Two thousand or. twenty-five
hundred people were in town
Monday, drawn here by county
court and the announcement that
Col. Breckenridge was to speak.
Many came in on the early trains
and in vehicles from adjoining
counties, but the greater portion
of the multitude was from the
country precincts of this county.
Judging from the badges worn,
the supporters of Mr.. Owens were
in the majority, but the crowd was
good natured and we noticed very
little drinking. When the o:5o
a. m. train came in from Lexing-
ton, bringing Col. Breckenridge,
one who did not know what was
going on might have thought there
was circus being unloaded or
strange animal on exhibition from
the actions Of the crowd gathered
there, curious to see the man who
has been talked and written about
so much during the last six
months.
At 2 o'clock the court house
bell rang, when the crowd, which
had been standing so thick upon
the streets that pedestrians could
scarcely get along, began to surge
in that direction. When they
reached there the announcement
was made that the speaking would
take place in the State House yard
and there was great rush in that
direction. The yard Immediately
in front of the State House was
soon full, and at 2:Io the speaker
took his position in front Of the
fountain and began his address,
which was about two hours long.
His voice did not reach the out
skirts Of the crowd aud the latter
soon began to melt away until at
the close hardly one half of them
remained. Some hot words were
passed between some of the adj
herents of Mr.. Owens and the
Breckenridge men during the
speaking, but no trouble followed
and the crowd dispersed quietly
and returned to their homes.

In answer to the correspondence of j. L.
Sloane.
Upon the money question l will just
say that Mr.. Sloane does not keep himself
very well posted. The Peoples party that
demands free coinage OF silver and gold. 1t
q not say that they will pay for the
silver in gold.
They donot advocate any such thing as
it is an impossibility, the Republicans
have done it for to kill the coinage of
silver. So that there would DC but Il gold
standard under which they would have.
money in circulation that the same could
draw Il high interest.
Now Mr.. Sloane if you are a producer.
you are just Il slave under thia gold base
but If you are not a producer. h"t live on
other mems labor, then this guid base is
just what benefits you as the limited
amount of money is only valuable to the
employer, but detrimental to the employe.
Its therefore we wan Ii to l, as that
ratio will give more money in circulation,
ITS our present ratio, wo don't want 30 to
like our Republicans. Because We will
naturally get less dollars. and would have
to pay interest whether We borrow money
OF not.
Now Mr.. Sloane don't you think it foolish
to borrow European gold, and %enslave
American labor, as is now the case.
Now let US not kill our own industry

There have long been rumors of sur

inquiries at Madrid failed to supply
any definite information on the sub
ject Last summer, on reading over
an old number OF Kosmos (Parls. 1857,

q pigmy race having been found in the
province of Corona, Spain, who had
slightly Mongolian eyes, yellow, broad,
square faces, height from Ito meters
to LIS meters and red hair.
An Austrian gentleman recently tod
me he had seen in the market place at
Salamanca some very understood
