Americans who have Travelled in Ty-
rol and Switzerland will remember ma
tive women in trousers moving grass
from the edges Of steep descents and
along the edges Of preclplces while dan
Cling on the end of a line which is at
tached to long pole in the hands of
thcir co-laborers above. These women
don trousers because it would be inn
POSSIBLE for them to pursue their work
In skirts, which might catch on trees or
rocks and thus endanger their lives.
Their example has been followed by
the maids of the great Elbing diaries
in West Prussia. This establishment
Is the largest in that country and EN-
ploys nearly 300 mixers, all Of whom
ale females For years the manage
mcnt has been experimenting with diff
ferent kinds Of costumes for the wom-
en-, trying to design one that was warm,
useful and becoming at the same time.
The skirts, were they long or short,
full or narrow, always proved a him
drance to the work, and often a dan
eerous adornment too, for once in Il
while it happened that an enraged COW
would take offense at the frock or else
step on it and upset the milk pail and
the mixer at the same time. Finally
the management adopted the dairy
maid costume, as represented in the
accompanying picture. Its design, it
will be observed, is after those of the
advanced" bicycle and fencing cos
tunes for women.
The costume is Of blue and white
striped linen for summer wear and Of
flannel in similar colOrs for winter. The
girls wear no corsets, and the modern
t.! gienic principle of combining warmth

Girls Who Attract Men.


The girls who attract the best men
are almost always source of surprise
to their feminine friends, who are often
lost in wonder as to why so many moro
patent charms should have been passed
over in such selections, writes Mrs
Burton Harrison in the Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t is the little mouse Of a
woman, the shrinking, shy creature
left in the background by her holder
sisters, we constantly see brought to
the front by the man who has won her
love. And men prefer to any such CO.
quettish invitation as that extended by
Mrs. Bond of the nursery rhyme to her
ducks when decoying them to come and
be killed, the uncertainty hanging
around a being to whom they have to-
sue.
Every mans Ideal Of wlfe--I mean
the normal, honest citizen of our repub-
lie, who looks forward to making Of
himself and his line stones to support
its bulWark-is girl who may be
pretty, who might be brilliant, but
who must be good. He also recognizes
instinctively that her grace should not
be too costly to wear every day. That
she shall be cheerful Of temper, inclined
to take short views of human infrmity,
and sound Of health, he is apt gravely
to consider, within himself, as essential.
If all those who, before marrying, omit
ted to think about these things had
done so, it is possible we should hear
less to-day of the incompatibility Of
man and woman.

Napoleon had wonderful memory.
When emperor, he once surprised his
council with his intimate knowledge OF
Roman law and was asked how he had
obtained it, He stated that when lieu
tenant he had once been placed under
arrest and was i'll prison for two weeks.
During that time the only book at his
command was treatise on Roman law.
He sat down and in two weeks mastered
the volume so completely that 20 years
later he could repeat long passages from
it's pages. He never forgot face or a
name and would often greet private sol
diers by their names, sometimes allud-
ing to the march or the battle where he
had seen them before. He kept in his
head all tts details of his military
movements, and it was said of him that
during the march to Italy and Marsngo
he knew where every pound of tho sup
plies for the use of the army was located.
1t is said that be remembered the name
of every officer to whom he evor issued
q commission.

Two discoveries have recently been
made by Lord Rayleigh, of England,
which prove, to paraphrase Shakes
peare, that there are more things on
earth than the scientists in their phil
osophy have ever dreamed of. First
comes the startling information that
day after day and year after year we
have been taking into our lungs a gas
of whose existence we have been who'll
ly ignorant. The discovery of this
heretofore unknown atmospheric con-
stituent, which has been named ar
gon,' meaning idle, was announced at
a recent meeting of the British Associ-
alton. Subsequent researches have
proved beyond a doubt it's presence in
the air, and, in consequence, some time
honored scientific beliefs are in dan
ger of being overthrow. 1t would
seem that Lord Rayleigh should at
least have given the scientific world
time to recover from the surprise
caused by his first discovery before I'M
earthing and proclaiming another
startling scientific fact; but, regardless
of the nervous system of the scientists,
he has Just announced that in min
eral from Norway he has found he'll
ium, a gas which heretofore has been
thought to have a home only in the
sun and a few of the stars. Whatever
other results this discovery may have.
it gives new reason for believing that
the sun and the planets, the earth
among them, are alike in composition,
and originated under the operation of
a common law. Although the finding
of helium is perhaps the more interest
ing from a popular standpoint, the. fact
that argon has been brought to light is
probably of greater practical impor
lance It is possible that the gas plays
a vital part in respiration and other
processes in man. If this be the case,
accurate knowledge of it may open
new lines of treatment and research in
the practice of medicine.

BATTLES FOR HER CHILDREN.


a Brave Mother Fights and Finally Con-
quers a Huge CatamOunt.
To save her children Mrs. George
Higginbotham fought large cata-
mount. Mr.. Higginbotham lives on the
Suwanee river, about seven miles from
Cedar Keys, Fla, and in the morning
he left home, leaving his wife and chill
dren alone. In the afternoon Mrs. Hig-
ginbotham and the children went out
to the sugar-cane patch, the woman
carrying her husbands hunting knife.
One of the children strayed off, and
soon Mrs. Higginbotham heard
scream. She rushed to the scene and
found that a large catamount had
knocked the child down and was stand
ing over it. The animal Immediately
left the child and attacked the mother.
1t sprang at the woman and tore her
face and neck horrible with it's sharp
claws. The mother plunged the knife
into the catamount repeatedly with no
apparent effect. Finally she dealt the
beast a savage blow with the knife
and tainted. The last blow reached
the catamounts heart, and as the
woman fell unconscious the animal
dropped dead. The children called the
neighbors and they found Mrs. Higgin-
botham lying unconscious on her
breast. Mrs. Higginbotham was fright
fully torn and may not recover. The
child stricken down by the beast was
| uninjured. The catamount weighed
about eighty pounds.

CYCLE AS AN AMBULANCE.
Berlin Has Harnessed the Wheel to the
Needs of Medical Attendance.

Needs of Medical Attendance.
A new ambulance carriage has been
invented by DR.. HONG of Berlin. 1t is
not drawn by horses or men in the or
binary way, but is propelled by cyclists,
and consists of kind of litter resting
on a frame with five wheels, three in
front in the form of an ordinary tri-
cycle and two at the back. The drivers
accordingly sit one at each end of the
litter, which is covered with a re-
movable roof, with little windows and
a pneumatic bell, so that the patient
can communicate with the drivers.
Beneath the litter are boxes for dress
ing material, instruments for first aid,
etc. DR.. HONG suggests that his inven-
ton would be useful for small towns
for which a horse ambulance is too
expensive It brings the surgeon and
assistant surgeon very quickly to the
scene of an accident and enables them
to remove a patient to the hospital
without loss of time. The general
opinion here is that the new system will
require a greater proficiency in the art
of cycling than the majority of medical
men possess. The carriage was shown
in the drill ground of the fire brigade
to surgeons attached to hospitals and
the police, as well as to officers Of po-
lice and fire brigades and to other
gentlemen connected with the am
bulance service.

Cans made of paper pulp are being
introduced to take the place of tin cans
for containing all kinds Of preserved
products. The occasional cases of
poisoning from canned goods are due
to the contents becoming tainted
through the cans not being air tight.
Many millions of tin cans are used an
nually by canned goods factories in
this country, and such cases of injury
from tainted goods are comparatively
rare; but because it is possible, through
slight defects in the solder, or minute
breaks in the cans, for such danger to
result, the Gamers have been looking
for a satisfactory substitute for tin. It
is believed that this has at last been
found in he paper pulp cans. They are
oil-proof as well as waterproof, will
not expand or contract, and will stand
as much rough usage in shipment as
tin cans, and perhaps more.

The Widow Cousino. Worth $500. 900. 900. IL
Said To Be Coming To This Country.

Great interest has been aroused among
the Chilcans and other South Americans
In New York by the report TINT the Seno-
ra de Cousino intends to take "a house In
Fifth avenue and entertain In lavish style.
The Widow Cousino as she IL popularity
known In Chile, IN probably the richest
woman I'm tho world, her wealth being o.
timated at $500, 900, ,00O Her estates In
Chile arc the show places Of the country,
and her entertainments arc given on "a
scale that would take q New Workers.
breath away.
Her wealth, which was inherited from
her father and brother, Ii invested chiefly
I'm tho copper industry and In potteries Mt
Lota, a town on tho coast I'm tho southern
part Of Chile. Her father, Senor Goyene-
chea, laid the foundation To his great for
tune by developing the silver mines at
Copiapo, Chile, and then went into copper
mining, and that industry was carried ON
to such good purpose by him, his son and
later his daughter, Sonora do Cousino, that
today the latter controls the entire output
of Chile and Peru, thus furnishing three
fourths OF tho copper imported by Europe.
When Senor Goyenechea died, some 40
years ago, he left his entire fortune to his
widow I'm trust for his two children, Enc
tcrio and IsidOra. A few years aftcrward
his widow married Scnor Cousino, a
wealthy merchant Of Valparaiso, and 1t
was his son who became the husband OF
Isidora in 1856. Thus, after the death of
her mother and brother, which occurred
In tho sixties, she became sole possessor OF
the Goycncchea estate, and, her husband
having been his fathers sole heir, the two
great fortunes were linked together
The industries controlled by the widow
are most varied. Besides owning all the
copper mines I'm Peru and Chile she owns
large fleet Of ships TO transport the ore
to the smelling works at Lota. There are
also the rich silver mines at Copiapo, the
great stock farm and vineyards at Macul,
eight miles from Santiago, and the whole
town of Lota. This place Is bustling
city Of some 10, 600 people, situated on a
beautiful bay 200 miles south Of Valpa-
raiso.
Every house, every mill and every bit OF
land Is owned by the widow, and every one
In the place Is dependent on her industries
for n living.
The chief industry Is the enormous
smelling works, where all the copper ore
from the many mines Is reduced. There
are also great pottories there that nearly
supply the demand OF the whole west coast
of South America, and two miles back Of
the town arc very rich coal mines, owned
and worked by the widow.-New York
