q collecting agency operating in
Maine towns is employing II scheme that
is said 10 be great success in bringing
slow paying debtors to time The first
move is made by n young lady of great
personal attractivencss, whose business
it is to call on the merchants and secure
their membership in the agency. After
she has thoroughly canvasscd town
there come along in u few days mum
Der of men dressed in bright green coats,
who get the particulars of old debts and
debtors from the members and then
proceed to call ON thcir victims. The
contract provides that the horribly con.

Women with Painted Faces.

A very observing writer declares
"Moro women paint their faces today
than ever before. Whoever takes his
walks abroad and observes cannot fail
to perceive that fact Not only is tho
quantity of tho self decorator greater,
but her quality is higher OF course
there is tradition that making up is
tabooed in society but 1t is only Il ira
dition. The fact is that n great deal Of
tintiug is donc by people of very high
standing If tho painting epidemic
spreads, as it threatens to do, it will
soon become impossible for even the
smaller society fry to adhere to the com
paratively sober tints that nature has
bestowed They will begin to initiate
the shining example set up before hem,
and thcro will be none to cut them or
make them afraid, for you may be sure
it would mover DO for Mrs. Smith Jones
and her friends to bring upa discussion
of the mysteries Of the toilet.
After all, why is II more question
able for a woman to make up daintily
and judiciously than to select n blue
gown because Ii is more becoming, or 70
soften her accumulated shoulder blades
by layer Of wadding. hcr curving,
scrawny shoulder blades that would
otherwise pierce the possibilities of her
friends: The chief objection that l can
500 to making up is the suggestion it
gives of unclcanlincss, but that can be
obviated with care Of course there arc
n few wise women who make up suc-
cessfully, but the world need not he i'll
any alarm over the degree to which it
will be deceived.
"The trouble with the average woman
is that she won't realize how little do
ccption can be practiccd III this regard.
She starts out by applying faint,
scarcely porceptiblc bloom and ends up
with II vermilion coating that could lie
scraped off with n trowcl. Wero man
could never bring myself To kiss the
chcok that borrowed its bloom from II
rouge pot, and what Dyes conld lool,
love to eyes, even to eyes that spoke
again, if it wero known that what
seemed tho reflection of those long, thick
eyelashcs was in reality produced by q
painstaking application of tho pencil?
Tho question resolves itself into this ::
Is it bad to do it, or to do it badly?'

Two papers have lately appeared in
Germany devoted to tho interests of tho
fair sex under the titles of Die Frau
and Dio Fraucn Bowegung, which
may he translated, Woman and Tho
Woman's Movement. They mark an
epoch in that country. Up to within a
few years the Gcrmnn woman was noted
only for her domestic qualities and nc
complishments. Tho homo system of
that land regarded her merely as n fu-
ture wife and mother and trained and
treated her accordingly. The education
which tho sex received in our own conn
try and England was almost unknown

Tho wealth and luxury which follow
ed tho FrancoPrussinn war and tho
elevation of Prussia into tho German
empire started new set of forces in
operation, which arc still profoundly
changing tho old customs and thoughts
of that land. Nowhere is this moro Wis
ib!c than among the women. They are
now forming societies and clubs of all
sorts and arc following in the footsteps
of their American sisters.
AT the late worlds council of women
they were represented by some women
of vast ability aud high culture, who
told the story to the other delegates of

were conveyed between the two places.

Enormous Crop ofWheat Expected

Information received by tho grain

selves own farms in North Dakota, in

northwestern states will run from 10,
600, 900 to ao,ooo,ooo bushels moro

who looked for ayicld Of only $50, 000,
600 bushels has now added about 20.
900. 900 bushels TO his estimate, while
the moro liberal guesscr, who originally
allowed about 100000, 600 bushels,
makes his figure about $1,000, 600
bushels
In order to reach either Of these fig
Hres the harvest must be larger one
than in 1891, for the acreage devoted TO
wheat is smaller. That this will be
attained is testified to by all tho nu-
merous grain men who have Travelled
all through the northwest, who state
that never before have they seen such
