Training women For Business,

A business woman's college has been
just opened in London, or, to describe
the excellent institutions aims more
exactly, school for the business train
ing of women has been established The
school is mainly designed to train wo-
men for clerkships and seoretaryships
They are taught shorthand, typewrit-
ing, accounts and banking in course
extending over six months. The oppor-
tunities are offered gentlewomen who
suddenly thrown by financial mishap on
their own resources, can catch up pro-
fession by which to support themselves.
Besides this the school accepts as pupils
women who wish to learn how to keep
their own books and personally manage
their own independent fortunes Then,
too women apply who have chance
for q government position and must be
well up in mathematics and get through
special examinations. From its gradu-
ating classes the school supplies secre-
taries to busy philanthropical ladies
who need help in their work in the form
Of capable head for figures and neat
hand at penmanship. Letter.

Sex Disqualified Her.

The Cook county (Ills.) board Of re-
view decided that the name of Miss Kate
Kane could not be printed as a oandi-
date for probate judge. The petition on
which Miss Kane made her application
was signed by 8, 175 voters of the Re-
publican, Democratic, Peoples and So
cialistio parties, and she has been a
praotioing attorney for years. The deoi-
sion was broadly that the sex of the
nominee disqualified her. Judge Scales
said, in reference to the action of the
board, that women were not yet enti-
tied to vote for county officers, and that
a woman was not qualified to hold the
position of probate Judge.

SMITHS QUEER AILMENT.
His Tongue Suddenly RunsAzipck and
Disgraces Hin.

Disgraces Hiin.
AS curious a case as has ever come up
in the municipal court of this city prob
ably was that of Captain J. B. Smith,
who appeared before Judge Reid today
to answer the charge of using vulgar
and foul language on the streets, the
warrant being sworn out for his arrest
by DR.. J. G. Orchard, The charge was
not denied by Captain Smith, who,
through his attorney, entered a plea Of
being unable to hinder himself from
using such language; that the muscles
of his throat were affected with st.
Vitus' dance, producing at times invol-
untary CALCULATIONS for which he was
not responsible, but which were direct
" traceable to the effects Of the peoul-
lar malady by which he is afflicted.
Smith may be talking nationally
enough with a person, when he will at
once make use of the foulest expressions
and has been known to threaten the
lives of his listeners, and in the next
breath he will give the assurance that
he did not mean anything he said.
Judge Reid ordered him to keep off
the street, and his friends agreed to keep
him in a private boarding house. and
he stated that he would write to Cali
fornia for money and would leave the
city by Monday next

cisco county, Cal, and has held other
responsible offices in that county. He
was committed to the insane asylum at
Salem, Or, last September, on account
of his strange malady, but escaped from
the institution and came to Tacoma.
The doctors of the asylum discovered
that he was not insane and entered his
formal discharge from the institution
on the books two days after his escape
He was brought before Judge Stallcup
two weeks ago and examined as to his
sanity and discharged. He is quite
wealthy. Dispatch.

Charmed nv n Snake.

Snakes travel a good deal on their
reputation. They scare birds and small
animals SO they become helpless. We all
know this to be fact. And then when
they get in tight place with man
they try to r,n a bluff on him. A law
yer in our town once met rattlesnake
down in the Ozarks and began to expert
ment, or rather to let the snake expert
ment, to see if there was anything in
the snake charming theory. Ps said
that the snakes eyes got brighter and
brighter, and his scales became glisten-
ing, and his body seemed to swell up a
little thicker, and the whole outfit be-
came so engrossing that he finally ran
away from the snake in a dead scare
and didn't get over it for good while
after. He told me that it was his belief
that if he had kept company with that
snake much longer he would have lost

LUCKY GOLD HUNTERS.
Some of Those Who Struck It Rich In the
Victor Fields Were Poor Men.

Victor Fields Were Poor Men.
During the period of first locations
among the rich mines at Victor there
were incidents which form an interest
ing history concerning the character Of
the men and the peculiar circumstances
under which they made their lucky
finds. All of them were poor, and nearly
all have quickly grown from poverty to
affiuence, while many others now share
the benefits of their fortune 1t is well
known that the two leading discoveries
were poor carpenters-W. s. Stratton,
the millionaire owner Of the Independ-
ence, and W. T. Shemwell, who found
the Elkton. Of all men known to pos
sess wealth Mr.. Stratton is one of the
least pretentious, though he realizes the
benefits and blessings of fortune and
says he will enjoy the uses Of his money
to the end of making the balance of his
life pleasant. Shemwell, owning 100,-
900 shares in the Elkton, is over in
Honolulu with his family, having a
good time on an income of 81, 900 per
month.

Doyle were also poor young men who
found the rich Portland mine by the
usual chances of the prospeotor and for
some time were unaware of their good
fortune. When they had reached depth

pector, purchased third interest in the
claim for $500. After the purchase.
greatly to his joy and in one sense to
the discontinue of the locators, an essay
from the ore gave returns Of $40, 900 in
gold to the ton. Immediately after that
the partners shipped 10 small sacks that
Melted them 81, 900 cash. Since that
time these men have grown wealthy,
and the group of mines belonging to the
Portland continues to grow in richness.
Many others in the district are now
going through the first stages of such
experiences, and there are many more

Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy
Factor In Its Production.
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes
from a sublimated cataleptic trance to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. A number Of manuscript

Human Flesh Eaters.

In the northern part of Canada there
are still several Indian tribes who ate
human flesh. In Guiana and in the
Orinooo we still find Caribbeans who
have the honor of having furnished the
name for that terrible custom OF eat
ing human flesh. Cannibal comes from
Caribs or Caribales, oorruptions OF Cali
bis or Canibis, the name Of the inhabit-
ants of the Antilles when Columbus ar
rived there. On the upper Amazon, be-
tween the rivers and the borders Of the
Bolivia. live the Tupis Guaraniens,
who manifest liking for human flesh.
CannibaIs are common in Australasia,
the Papuans, Karnkiens and Battakiens
being the most distinguished. Canni-
halis1n is. however, considered the main
trait of the New Hebrides. There are
more human flesh eaters in Africa than
anywhere else.
Cannibalism is not a sign Of low
state of civilization, for many cannibal
races stand higher in culture than those
who abhor the custom. Many cannibals
live in regions full of ordinary food, but
thew prefer human flesh as delioacy,
the men forbidding their wives and
slaves to eat it. In northern Australasia
II seems that the dead are eaten. Herod'
otus tells us that it was the custom IL
India for the young to kill the old and
eat them to insure their future saliva
ton. and we are told that the old folks
desire to be killed before they grow toe
old and less appetizipg. st Louis Post

EXcnlSinI

This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford a rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
fellow guilty of the fault. The last two
lines of the verse were made to read:
youth who bore pearl Of price.
A banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets of today, who would
consent to refer to banner as "a pearl
of price" But the poet had by this time
three lines to his liking, and the substi'
tuition of "a youth who bore mid snow
and ice" completed the verse as it has
been read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth of the land, all of
which goes to show that the genius of
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production of the poem, being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc-
ton of patient labor. Chicago Herald.

Condition of Our Crops.

The past week has been a splendid
one for farming operations, and all
crops, without exception, are flourish
ing. Wheat has been nearly all haul
Ell in or stacked. Some of the crop
has been thrashed and the results are
varying, some fields yielding we'll and
Others turning out somewhat poorly.
Possibly the yield is an average QUE.
Corn is beginning to tassel and is look
ing remarkably well. A good crop of
oats is ripening and will be cut, quite
generally, the coming week. The hay
harvest is in progress with quite favor
able weather, but the crop is more or
less weedy. Tomatoes are making a
good growth. Gardens are looking
well. There will be an abundance of
apples and pears, and peaches promise
quite well.

Historic Landmarks of London.

One by one London's historic land
marks are departing. When it is i'm
possible to get rid of them any other way
the powers that be just change their
names, and pretend that they have ceased
to exist. In this way Ratcliff highway
and Petticoat lane have gone from US,
though it is more than doubtful whether
under their new names they smell any
sweeter or are any more or less desirable
than they were. The proposal made yes
terday at q meeting. of the board of
works for st. Giles -in-the-Fields comes
nearer home. This body is anxious to
convert Seven Dials into st. Andrew s
Circus. Their argument seems to be
that mo little inconvenience and CON
fusion" result to the postoffice authori-
ties from ''such a multiplicity of streets
and thoroughfares of the same name in
the metropolis" But we have yet to
learn where these other Seven Dials are
to be found and we have explored the
directory in vain. Parish councils and
circuses is an old and popular cry, but
London surely has plenty of circuses al
