Remarkable Story OF How a MAN

(Bro1n the BROOKLYN, ". y, Standard Unfor.l
There is curious character in Blissville,
the southern extreme of Long Island City,
who is known to everybody, including
children, as "the DOCTOR" although his
advice has always been gratuitous and he
has but one remedy.

A woman's Advantage.

Woman, in spite of her disfranchise-
ment, has at least one great advantage
over man. She can make a home-a
real homelike home-for herself alone
and unaided, as no man can do. A man
may be ever SO rich and ever so great a
connoisseur in household furnishings
and bric-a- brac, he may possess a man
sion and entertain widely, but when it
comes to home any plain little working
woman who doesn't board can eclipse
him. In youth the life of the young
man may seem SO independent and
care free that the young woman envies
him his escape from household cares
and worries, but later on the balance
changes, and the brother, if he remains
q bachelor, has reason to envy his sis
ter, whether she marries or not, as re-
CARDS her poy er to create a home. 1t is
undoubtedly harder fof, women to make
or earn money than for men, but after
the money is acquired she can make it
go at least twice as far i'll the mainte-
nance of a home, and a woman with
comfortable income can give habita
ton more grace and beauty and comfort
and general LONELINESS than a man can
with fortune. philadelphia Press.

ALPHoNsE XIII OF SPAIN.

fixes the words cher majesty to "the
queen" and in the same way the wives
of these respective royalties never speak
of their husbands except as ''the en-
peror, " ''the king" or "the prince,
as the facts may be. Queen Christina of
Spain, however, is quite different in
this respect. She invariably talks of
her little 7-year-old boy as eel mino. ="
as "my son" as my baby" or when
speaking in German as ''mine bubi,
the Viennese dialect for my dear little
boy" 1t diminishes nothing from the
child's rank or grandeur to speak thus
of him, but, on the contrary, contrib
utes to increase the sympathy and the
regard for this sensible and high bred
widow and for her royal son, around
whose fair, curly head are conferred so
many interests, both national and eco
nomic. New York Recorder.

Miss Agnes Irwin's Duties.

Miss Agnes Irwin, the new dean of
Radcliffe, has no sinecure. To be sure,
she is not required to teach, for all in
struction is delivered by the Harvard
professors. But her duty, according to
a Boston paper, lis to influence and
guide young women in their choice of
studies; to be to them an example of
rare scholarship combined with digni-
fed and womanly charm; to show them
how to alta N the highest intellectual
development, while cultivating that
feminine rectitude and sympathy which
are of more importance than learning.
She is to prove to them that character
can be best formed by relationship with
the world about them, by wide knowl-
edge of what is being done in that
world, by familiarity with the best
thought and by the training of con-
science and perception in all broad
ways

More Corn ana Hogs.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
The North and West have had the
advantage over the South more be-
cause of the greater quantity OF
grain raised there than the difference
in climate. Ii the South raised the
corn necessary to fatten vast guam
titles OF hogs the cold storage APP
pliances could be put into operation
here. It is necef sary to use them up
there until sale or consumption OF
the cured product The South can
produce its own corn. That has been
developed this year. Why not start
in next year to raise all it's ownpork?
The money paid to other States for
corn and meat by Southern people
would make great fortunes for our
people if kept there at home. Even
at five cent cottop they would make
more than to get higher prices and
pay IL all out for something 70 eat,

Don't tell the world your troubles.
You can't borrow ten dollars on

Suggestions For Useful Gifts to Clever

An English writer, referring to the APP

remarks that in the present depressed

Almost every one has some relative with
excellent taste and some means, but with
out the ability to crafty some of the little
luxurious fancies that all women delight
in. A woman of this sort is to receive as
Christmas gift a dainty silk petticoat.
1t is something that she would not feel
able to buy for herself and one of her
friends has at sale found just the mate
rial for this most welcome addition to not
very well stocked wardrobe. 1t is not bv
any means good plan to present ordinary
articles of wearing apparel unless one is
absolutely certain of the taste of the recip-
lent. Many woman has worn hide
ously unbecoming dress or bonnet simply
because some one gave it to her and she
felt she must wear it.
Time was when one might select ones
apparel at random, but taste has of late

are certain articles, such as slippers and
gloves, where it is hardly possible to go
wrong, provided proper size is known.
Wells, flchus and belts are also generally
acceptable gifts, while for member of
ones immediate family an article of fine
underwear may be chosen.
There are many dainty accessories of the

Insurance Company Must Pay.

Jacob r. Moore brought suit against
the Ohio Farmers Insurance Com
pany. to recover insurance amounting
to 1854 is of interest to policy-holders
everyw here. According to the Chi
cago 1nter-Ocean, the property was
vacant at the time it was burned and
as the company has not consented to
: it in writing they refused to pay the
damages. a son of the agent, who
was acting for the company, was not
notified that the property was nnoc-
cupied. The Common Pleas Court
gave the plaintiff judgment, which
was affi rmed by the Circuit Court, and
the Su preme Court, in affirming the
lower court, said that in order to
avoid payment of loss on such a policy
the j insurance company must allege
ard eprove that the vacation of the
property increased the risk.
