pursued as n profession, is that of house
keeping. Every woman thinks herself
fitted to keep house but in sober truth
those who are really fitted for it-that is,
those who are thoroughly ed gcat ed in it's re-
quirements so that they would have right
to practice it as they would any other trade
or profession and receive money for it-are
by no means many. Yet if the women who
have peculiarly strong domestic inclina-
tons would recognize that the trend of
their talent is toward housekeeping and
then prepare thems lives seriously from the
first step to the last there would be a senst-
BILE addition made to the comfort Of the
world and "A new opening established
through which many women, instead Of
now and then one, could earn their liveli-
hoods.
As it is now, when there seems to benoth-

would never have to make that lumiiating
postscript of "widower preferred In that
case the widower would not be preferred.
She would go into IA house where there was
wife who wished and wearied for her and
would pursue her duties under no often
sive suspicion of an intention ultimately to

in running order, and would pay no more
heed to the personality Of the man of the

ant to her, than if she were an automaton
that had been wound up to go through its
motions at his service.-Harper's Bazaar.

Almost every one has favorte position
during sleep, aud no end of theories and be-
liefs is INDUCED in on the subject of the
proper position, location and general condi-
ton for that sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleeve of care" Many physicians argue
that one should cultivate the habit of sleep
ing on the right side, especially if one has
INDUCED in full meal late in the evening
The food makes its exit from the stomach
on the right side, and it is for this reason
claimed that the position is more favorable
to digestion without effort. This is impor-
tant, as all Of the faculties and functions
should have a certain amount of rest, and
in no way is this as easily attanable as
during the hours of sleep.
Other authorities say that one should al
ways lie on the back, but there are excel.
lent reasons why this is not wise. The
weight of the stomach and its contents
rests upon the spine, which often affects the
nerves. Some severe cases of insomnia have
been cured by the habit of sleeping on the
face. This is easy TO do and is the most
comfortable position if one dispenses with
the pillow. One young man, who had eX-
hausted all the skill of the doctors, fell
into the habit of lying on his face, with his
right arm under his head, which was turned
slightly to one side. By this change natu-
raj rest soon came to him, and he entirely
recovered. Whatever position one may
choose to take, little practice will make it
comfortable, and the experiment is well
worth trying.--New York Ledger.

II recently heard, " said Mr.. Gage, 'of a
banker in Wisconsin, a man of iron firm
ness, who, hearing of bank troubles in
many localities, determined that he would
not lend dollar, but would collect every
claim due. He enjoyed the entire conf
dence of the community being a man Of
undoubted responsibility Soon after the
banker had determined upon this policy a
man of substance applied to him for loan
of 500. The banker refused roughly on the
ground that he could not spare the money.
The would be borrower, from whose mind
the illusion had not yet been dissipated
that bank was fountain from which
wealth flowed was shocked and panied. He
went about among other members of the
community expressing his grief that this
banker was in such distressing situation.
Certain depositors put their own construc-
ton upon the meaning of all this. Within
week the banker himself was humble
borrower in Chicago, having paid in hard
cash % per cent Of his liabilities to the
community which had lost faith in him"

Women In New Zealand.

A recent letter from New Zealand says:
II have Travelled in many countries, but
in no other land have l seen the courtesy
and unobtrusiye chivalry habltually exhib-
tied to women, whether young or old, by
New Zealand young men Of every condi-
ton and rank. The status Of II New Zea-
land woman is considerably higher than
that of her sister In Australia or England,
and she is not likely to forget that she
gained the political franchise not by in
adyertence or b. party scheming but as a
deliberate act Of Justice no less than chiv-
airy on the part of her countrymen.

Professor JOHNSON. He has commrnc.
ed course at that institution which.
though he says it is merely intended to
teach aspiring journalists a few things
useful for them, will strike practical men
as sufficiently ambitious.
The course covers two years and EN-.
braces the study Of public law and politics.
American history and government, Euro
pe0nhistory, logic and ethics, economics and
social science, and some valuable instruc.
ton in the uses of statistics and the best
methods of preserving and indeNing such
handy material for newspaper writer's as
may be found in newspapers and maya
zines. Besides all this, students will be
given rs much practical training in the
various forms Of newspaper work as is pos
sibie outside of a newspaper office
The professor has had much experience
in journalism and has no idea that hi,
course is going to turn out finished Jour
nalists, but says that it will afford coleg,
men who intend to enter journalism d
much better preparation than they were
formerly able 20 obtain, give them some
idea of what news is, and, he hopes, result
in an Hppreciabe improvement in their
style of writing
In his recent lecture on journalism Mr.
Charles \. Dana, whom it is no disparage-
ment to Professor johnson to call an ADLER
journalist, took radically different ground
on the desrHbility of a school of Jour
nalism, saying that he had never found
students who had taken such a course Of
any great avail as practical workers in the
newspaper work they had been trying to
learn. His idea is that the proper place to
train journalists is in newspaper Offices
though he thinks that they should have the
best possible preparatory education before
they begin.
1t is noticeable, however, that Mr. Dana
and Professor johnson seem to be in thor
OuEh accord as to the kind of knowledge
journalists should possess If the professor
had written his curriculum after reading
Mr.. Dana's lecture, it could not have suited
the veteran EDITORS ideas better So that.
after all, the principal difference in their
ideas is that Mr.. Dana thinks this knuwl-
edge should be acquired as part Of a broad
general education, while Professor johnson
intends to impart it for "a specific purpose

the natives. The Rtlians are fanatcal
Moslems, and the building by the Spaniards
of a new fortress on the burial place of a
Mohammedun saint is said to have caused
the instruction. 1t is quite probable,
though, that their bitter hatred of Euro
peans inflamed the natives to as great an
extent as religious sentiment and made the
task Of their preachers an easy one
There is ground for suspicion, too, that
the attack on Meilla may yet prove to be
the Inauguration of a general movement on
the part of the natives of northern Africa
against European domination in Algeria
and interference in Morocco. Some color
of probability is given to this suspicion by
the attack ON II company of French soldiers

by the Tuaregs, another Berber tribe, and
