A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Mrs. Kiroball One of Americas Most
1ccessful Managers.

Women are getting to do all sorts Of
things quite as well as men. Indeed,
most women do some things much bet
ter than men. Since the retirement of
Miss Ober as manager of the Boston
Ideal Opera company, now known as
The BostOnians, the field of theatrical
management, so far as women are con-
cerned, has been practically abandoned
to Mrs Jennie Kimball, the mother Of
Corinne. UnquestiOnably the best adj
vertised star in America today is Cor,
inne Mrs. Kimball is in many re-
spects a most remarkable woman.
She has reared her pretty daughter in
the atmosphere of the theatre; indeed,
in the very glare of the fOOt-lightS,
and yet no princess Of the blood has
been guarded with more tender care.
A woman well versed in the ways Of
the world, she has taken care that
COrinne should be thoroughly educated
in the languages and should have some
knowledge of the fine arts, and today
Corinne would shine brightly among
the rosebuds in our parlors. AS a
manager Mrs Kimbal has few equals.
oUICNd anu dI-SSClIIS, SlIc Has l1ItbG
the most of her daughters talents,
and as a reward for it has comfort
able fortune, which is being added to
every season.
To those so fortunate as to make
her acquaintance, Mrs. Kimbau is an
object Of regard hardly less interesting
than Corinne, and without doubt the
most successful lady manager in this
country, if not in the world. An OBJ
serving person cannot be in her pres
ence but a few moments without
learning the secret Of her success. She
possesses to a remarkable degree those
twin qualities which always achieve
success-intellect and indomitable en-
ergy. Mrs. Kimballs business capao-
ity is simply marvellous. She is untr-
ing in every effort to elevate the stand
ard of her productions, and watches
the minutest details with the most as
siduous care and attention. On the
stage during the performance she is
here, there and everywhere; nothing
escapes her watchful eye, and the
slightest dereliCtion of duty on the
part of the performers receives an in
slant reprimand. She is a general in
command, and her large company is
managed with the sternest and strict
est discipline.

SIXTY AND SIX.

Light OF the morning,
Darling of dawning,
Blithe little 1.-THE little daughter Of
mine!
While with thee ranging,
Sure I'm exchanging
Sixty of my years for six years like
thine
Wings can not vie with thee,
Lightly l fly with thee,
Gay as the thistledown over the lea;
Life is all magic,
Comic or tragic,
Played as thou playest it daily with me.
Floating and ringing,
Thy merry singing
Comes when the light comes, like that
of the birds,
List to the play of it!
This is the way of it:
Ais in the music and naught in the
words
Glad or grief-laden,
Schubert or Haydn,
Ballad Of Erin OF merry Scotch lay
Like an evangel,
Some baby angel
Brought from sky nursery stealing
away.
Surely | know it,
Artist or poet,
Guesses my treasure of jubilant hours.
Sorrows, what are they?
Nearer or far, they
Vanish in sunshine like dew from the
flowers.
Years, I am glad of them;
Would that [ had of them
More and yet more, while thus mingled
with thine.
Age, l make light of it!
Fear not the sight of it;
Times but our playmate, whose toys
are divine.

and women for its existence is cheap
in proportion.
There are in England as well as
here few persons of exceptional abil-
lty, or who have enjoyed peculiar OPP
portunitieS, who receive compensation
for their services which may be called
''princely' and hold places which can
scarcely be regarded as attainable by
the vast majority of professional men.
The eminence reached in medicine by
the English physician, Sir Andrew
Clark, who died a few months ago,
brought him an income, it is reported
of from $4,000 to 100000. a year
Such success, Or that Of the famous
lawyers, throws little light on the re-
wards of the average medical or legal
practitioners.
England pays it's eminent educators
salaries which make those received by
American college presidents seem pal
try. The head masters of Harrow and
Elton schools receive from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, and 80 assistant mas
tiers at Elton receive from $4,000 to
$4,000. While several of them enjoy
the profits of boys boarding schools,
which Mr.. Collier AYERS bring in an
additional income of from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year. These figures are so far
beyond the highest rewards of college
and seminary teaching in the United
States that it is useless to institute
detailed comparisons.
Taking all the schools of England
and the United States into account the
writer of the article thinks that the
great prizes of the teachers profession
in England are far more valuable than
here, but "mediocrity is more distress
ingly underpaid' there and the aver
age salary is slightly less. One of the
singular features of the higher teach
lngs in England is that Elton and Har-
row head masters receive many times
larger salaries than the heads of the
great colleges.
Mr.. Collier fixed the average income
Of the ministers of the English Estab-
lished church at $500 a year; barris-
tiers, $1,000; physicians, 1900; dissent
ing ministers of least drawing pow
er," $3.50. The average incomes of the
ministers and doctors are less than
these. No comparison can be made be,
tween the incomes of lawyers of the
two countries as the average is given
only for barristers and not for the
entire profession, here known as claw
yers.''
The English judges are, on the
whole, much better paid than ours.
The lord high chancellor receives
$4,000 a year, and no English city
or county judge receives less than
$4,000 The salary Of the chief justice
of the United States is $1O,500; justices,
$4,000; United States circuit judges,
$4,000; United States district judges,
$1,000
After Il survey Of the whole field of
professional rewards in England. the
result is summoned up in the state
ment that there is no such difference
between the income of success and the
income Of mediocrity in the United
States as may be found in England
"One may say that success is more
difficult of attainment and means more
in England, and that failure means
less in America

PROFESSIONAL INCOMES.
A Comparison Of Figures in England
and in America.

There has been much discussion
from time to time, incidentally to our
tariff controversies, concerning the rel
ative wages of Labor in England and
the United States. Price Collier has
something to say in the current North
American Review concerning the re
wards received by another class of
workers in England in his suggestive
article on professional incomes To
make comparisons better understood
the writer cautions the reader that a
salary OF $4,000 in the United States
is equivalent to about $4,000 in Eng
land, which. he remarks, sis due to the
fact that where men and women are
cheap, everything dependent upon men

There is no more interesting sub

The agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations in the different states
are institutions for the benefit of the
rural population. But the tendency of
these institutions is to drift away from
the people unless they are closely
guarded by those who have an inter-
est in them, and this is why the
farmers should have a watchful care
over them. 1t is much easier to keep
these institutions in the line Of duty
than to bring them back after they
have once gone astray. The grange

Every farmer ought to have a pair
Of farm scales, not to supercede his
own judgment as to the weight of
stock, but to test it. If he does not
have the scales, the farmer is always
at a disadvantage. The butcher and
speculative buyer are constantly exer-
cising their judgment in guessing at
live weights. 1t is one of the ways in
which this ability to judge correctly is
increased. The farmer who weighs
his stock frequently can always tell
nearly what it is worth to market if
