To the Editor of THE TINES:

= In your repor. this morning of the meeting of
the Union for Practical Progress, you say, mir.
b. Pickman Mann thought that this organization
would not work in harmony with the church"
neither thought nor said anything of the kind,
nor did any speaker at the meeting say anything
of the kind. In fact, the general sense and out
come OF the meeting was that the organization
should and would work in harmony with the
church. The tenor of my remarks was that this
organization should seek TO bring bout co-opera-
tion amongst others rather than TO undertake TO
do itself the same kind Of work others were try
ing to do. Z. PICyEAN MANN.

THE CABBAGE SALAD HAD FUN.

In the higher grades of the Passaic
IN. j.. public schools cooking is
taught. The other day twenty young
ladies in one of the schools set out
under the guidance of teacher to
make cabbage salad, and they made it.
Then with the valor of knights of old
or the courage of score of Jeanne
d'Arcs they did what few other people
on earth would dare to do-they ate
their own salads.
But that was not all. As soon as
they had disposed of the salads, the
salads started in to dispose of them.
In a few minutes there were twenty
young ladies in that class looking ap-
pealingly towards the cooking teacher,
while their salad-satiated appetites
were tying themselves up in sailor
knots. None of them was killed by
the salad, but they all suffered an
ample lot. That they escaped SO mira
culously they have great cause to re-
joice.
The lesson was good one. For il
not only taught them how like SER
pent's tooth is a cabbage salad, but il
also let light in upon the great corner
stone principal OF all cooking-school
cookery, which is to always try the
cooking on somebody else first. New

NEW PNEUMATIC SHOE SOLE.

Believed to Be the Attainment Of the
Ideal for Sprinters.
A pneumatic shoe, the sole of which
contains cushion of air, has been pat
ented. The shoe is adapted for the use
of athletes and pedestrians in running,
jumping, cycling and in the gymnas-
ium, doing away entirely with plates
and spikes, and preventing slipping
and tearing up of the track. A further
object of the improved sole is to re-
lieve the disadvantages of tender feet.
AS the pneumatic sole provides an easy
cushion for the foot, owing to the posi-
ton of the air chamber therein, burn
ing of the soles of the feet is obviated.
And it materially increases the speed in
running and jumping.
The cut shows a sectional elevation
of the walking shoe in proper position.
The shoe comprising the upper and the
rubber sole united thereto, said sole
extending back to form heel, the low
er thick corrugated tread adapted to
bear upon the surface Of the ground or
elsewhere, with the web above the
same by reason of the intervening
space between the said webs forms an

FEMALE PEACEMAKERs.

While their names are not on the
Government records, and they are un-
known to the societies which make it
their duty to reward those who save
life, there are many women on the
East side who have won local reputa-
tion by preventing quarrels which
would surely result in the injury of the
participants, and sometimes in murder.
Some of them are extremely muscular,
and often they substitute their voices
for muscle, which does much toward
attracting attention. Two young men
got into scuffle the other day and
were on the point of hurling large
stones at each other at short range
when a large woman rushed in be-
tween the men just in the neck of time
to save them from the terrific force OF
the stones. Her shrieks or her mus
cular development proved to be ire
sistible arguments for the men, for

THE woRsHIPRp BACK.

Mrs. Fernando Yznaga, of New York,
is the young matron who is admitted
to have humbled the pride OF Mrs.
Langtry, who long claimed to possess
the most exquisitely shaped back and
shoulders in all the world. Mrs.
Yznaga certainly has peerless endow-
ments in that line and to her is cue
the excessive vogue of costumes cal
culated to accentuate any loveliness
latent in that portion OF the feminine
anatomy.
All the society women of Gotham for
many months did nothing but study
the contour of Mrs. Yznaga's back and
shoulders and the loveliness of pose
natural to her was copied far and wide.
To this circumstance is due the fond
ness of SO many wealthy New York
women for having themselves painted
and photographed in backward at
titude. Chicago Record.

What Irrigation Will Do.

Judge Emery, of Kansas, is reported
as saying of an irrigation convention
that arid and semi-arid America is
one-half as large as all our domains
excepting Alaska. This arid region is
practically an o,en and unsettled
region. OF our 65,00O.OO0 of popula-
tion only about 100000 are now
found residing west of the ninety
sixth meridian, which is the east line
of semi-arid America. It is estimated
that good homes for from 5000, 900
to $50, 900, 900 may be made in arid
America by aid of irrigation. New

COLONEL ANToINETTE.

Miss Antoinette Humphreys, q
pretty young woman of Mount Auburn,
Cincinnati, is member of the mill
tary staff of Governor MacCorkle, OF
West Virginia. She is a full-fedged
colonel, and the only woman in the
country thus honored.
Miss Humphreys is daughter OF
Albert Humphreys, of 1884 Mcmillan
street, who is member of the firm of
Walker & Humphreys.
Early last May she took part in two
presentations of "The Mikado" in
Charleston, w. Va. 1t was for the
benefit of the Old Women's Home, in
the success of which institution Gov
ernor MacCorkle is greatly inter-
ested.
The Governor was greatly i'm
pressed with the fair Yum-Yum, and
meeting her at the reception, informed
her that he desired to present her
with something in return for her
charity to the old ladies. The "some-
thing" was colonePs commission in
the West Virginia militia, which the
Governors private secretary, J. B.
White, made out at once and pre-
sented to the Cincinnati girl.
Miss Humphreys kept the commits
sion secret until few days ago,
when she showed the document to q
few intimate friends.
II wonder if the Governor will ever
call me out" she said, laughingly.
Colonel Humphreys is nineteen
years old, is a graduate of the College
of Music, and is still pursuing her

A PRETTY FASHION.

A pretty fashion, the idea for which
seems to be taken from the calyx of a
flower, is seen in the pointed bodices
of cloth, with long cuffs, cut also in
points, above which the velvet or silk
material blooms forth, SO to speak, in
large puffs for the sleeves and a full
gathered corsage for the body. Felix
seems especially fond of this effect
lately, and has used the idea on both
skirts and waists. A charming exam
pie of this method of cutting a gown
is in leaf-green cloth, with the skirt
and waist cut en- princesse to the bust,
where the cloth terminates in six
points, three in front and three be-
hind. Above this is a dark purple
velvet waist slightly gathered on the
shoulders and finished with velvet
stock and tiny ruche of fine point de
Venise-a pretty sheathing for the
"fower-like head" of a young girl.
The sleeves are treated in the same
way. A very deep cuff of the cloth is
cut in points, the cloth of the bodice
and that of the sleeves reaching to
about the same height; that is, the
points of both sleeves and bodice be-
ing on line with each other.

From the several landings on the
river (save at Puerto Berrio, whence
q railroad extends several miles into
the country goods are transported
on mule back. Sometimes light, fra
gile goods are taken on the backs of
Indian women, broad hempen strap
passing across the forehead. I have
seen many of them marching 'Tndian
file" over the mountains to Bogota.
Packages for inland transportation
should not weigh over 125 pounds.
Two of such packages constitute q
''carga," or beasts burden.
Pianos are transported over the
mountains by Indians, the instrument
being slung to long, stout poles. The
Indians are divided into relays. To
the nearby villages goods are trans
ported on ''burros" (donkeys), as
shown in the illustration. I have
seen drove of these patient little an
imals coming in from Sabanalarga,
twelve leagues distant, each bearing
two bales of cotton weighing 1875
pounds apiece, having neither stopped
nor rested by the way.

Toast.

We toast bread not merely to brown
1t, but to take out all the moisture
possible, that it may be more per-
fectly moistened with the saliva, and
thus easily dlgested; then we brown
1t to give it better flavor. Ii the
slice be thick and caIelessly exposed
to blazing fire, the outside is black
ened and made into charcoal before
the heat can reach the inside.
The moisture is only heated, not
evaporated, and makes the inside
doughy or clammy; and butter, when
spread upon the bread, cannot pene-
trate it, but floats on the surface in
the form of oil, and the result is one
of tire most indigestible compounds
The correct way is to have the
bread stale and cut into thin uniform
slices; and dry 1t thoroughly before
brewing it. Such toast. moistened
with water or milk, may be easily
and thoroughly acted upon by the
digestive fluids.

Miss Gladstone's work has been
principally in the direction of higher
education for women. She has done
great deal to give advantages to the
daughters of the poor but respectable
working people of the country around
Hawarden, and her efforts to open
colleges to both sexes have in several
cases been rewarded. She is not un-
like her father in appearance. She
has the same broad, philosophic

tative eyes. If Miss Gladstone is ever

FOR MILADY's HAIR.

Every one wears her grandmother's
tortoise-shell comb or one just as
nearly like it as she can buy. One or
two fortunate individuals whose grand
mothers CONSIDERABLY left broad,
carved ivory combs are wearing them
with charming effect. They were in
tended for dark hair and o white
frock, and given these two accom-
paniments the ivory comb is the pref
tiest thing one can wear.
Young women with Madonna-like
faces, and young women who labor
under the delusion that they have
Madonna-like faces, part their hair,
wave it slightly, draw it low over
their ears and knot it at the nape of
their necks. Then they clasp slen-
der, plain band of tortoise.shell or
silver around their heads so that the
hair puffs very slightly on each side of
it, and are truly saint-like in their
look. One clever young person whose
dark hair was adapted to display a
slender silver band, and did not pos
sess one, sewed artificial violets close
ly upon velvet band and bound her
hair with that. Her low-necked gown
was outlined with violets and the ef-
feet was charming.
Girls whose grandmothers left no
tortoiseshell or ivory to keep their
memory green sometimes buy gold or
silver hairpins, which look very well
though not particularly picturesque.
The broad effects are sought by all
sorts and conditions of women with
out regard to the shape of their heads
and faces. A moon-faced woman with
broad comb surmounting her head
is not thing of beauty, though she
fiatters herself that she is "glass of
fashion. In reality she would look
much better If she pierced her slender

STRAIGHT VS.. CURLY HAIR.

Heavy straight hair cannot always
be dressed becomingly, save in braids,
but the owner Of feathery, curly
tresses can generally make the best of
them. When the waviness is not
natural, but acquired, care must be
taken lest the pins and tongs used in
the process injure the hair at the
roots, especially at the top of the
head, where bald place is enough to
depress a woman's spirits for life.
Women who can wear their hair parted
often do so now, by way of exciting
the envy of less favored sisters, con-
scious of a scanty allowance, which
must be supplemented by artificial
means.

81 am very much impressed with
the great improvement in the material
condition of the South since the war,
said Cardinal Gibbons in speaking of
his recent visit to New Orleans.
Everywhere in that section things
have been much changed for the bet
ter. I went direct through to New
Orleans without stopping of, but I
could not help noticing from the car
windows that the cultivation of the
South had been much improved. The
railroads have grown wonderfully and
have developed the country in pro-
portion to their own growth. The
busy centres of commerce, trade and
domestic industry which have sprung
up in the South in late years have also
attracted my attention. Roanoke,
Va, is one of these cities of rapid
growth, and Birmingham, Ala, is an
other. The city OF New Orleans shows
signs of improvement in spite of the
heavy municipal debt under which it
is struggling, due to corruption and
mismanagement. The abolition of
the Louisiana lottery seems to be re-
garded by all parties as blessing to
the city. People there recognize that
the income which the State of Louisi-
ana received from the lottery was in
the end paid by its citizens. The
sugar industry has been materially
advanced in many places by the intro
duction of costly machinery for hand
ling sugar cane upon the plantations
and even for making it into sugar.
In some cases one plantation has an
entire plant, in others the product Of
half dozen plantations goes to one
common refinery. The kindly feeling
of the South for the North was appar-
ent everywhere. Northern capital and
Southern enterprise are accomplish
ing great things side by side. State
lines never amounted to anything in
the North, and in the South they are
being RAPIDLY obliterated."
