do this. then this country can also treat
the revolutionists as insurgents. and
they will have equal rights in the Unit
ed States for the purchase of munitions
of war, the issuance of bonds and bills
of credit, etc. On the contrary, said
one of the most prominent members of
the committee this morning. should
Spain refuse to do as this government
requests and should she follow out the
policy of treating revolutionists as it
is feared the new cantain general will
treat them, the next step will he but
a short time in coming.
This will be Il resolution recognizing
the bellgerency of the insurgents and
granting them, SO far as this nation is
concerned, all the rights and privileges
of one established nation at war with
another. The committee would rather
have gone with Mr.. Cameron. but en-
isting treaties and conditions suggested
that congress ought first to cndeavor to
bring about II recognized condition OF
war by Spain before proceeding to the
last resort. Members of the commit

speedy determination tn conduct her
warfare against the Cubans after the
fashion of other civilized countries she

powers of the United States exerted in

LYDIA SMITHS BIG FARM.

Down in south Georgia is type OF
the modern female who despises the
bicycle. She is shocked at the idea of
one of her sisters wearing boomers.
She owns and cultivates farm of BOD
acres, with the aid Of one colored hand.
Her name is Smith, Lydia e. Smith.
She is six feet six inches in height.
thirty-five yeaIs Of age, somewhat an
gular, and not very handsome, as she
admits. Miss Smiths plantation
which lies near Fort Nudge, Georgia,
is one Of the models OF the south. From
1t she raises most of the grain and vege-
tables, also cotton, tobacco, sugar cane
and rice. She averages over bale or
cotton to the acre ian unusually large
yield, and is an expert on the qualities
of soil, in judging horses and mules
and in fertilizing. She can pillow fur
row in corn field, as well as make
tin Of biscuits. An excellent horse
woman, she rides over the country, in
stead of driving, and generally carries
light shotgun slung over her
shoulder, as she is fond Of hunting, and
this section of the state contains many
birds. She resides all alone in plain
ly furnished farmhouse, does most Of
her own Homework, and has but few
friends or acquaintance. Her thrifty
ways and admirable management have
caused her to receive several offers of
marriage, but she prefers single bless
edness, and as vet her heart seems to
be untouched, save by nature.

WHEN WASHING THE HAIR.

AS hair wash and tonic the lemon
has no rival. For the. former purpose
a large juicy lemon should be cut in
half, the head dipped into bowl of
water, from which the chill only must
be removed, and the water made of the
same temperature as the air-and the
lemon rubbed and squeezed vigorously
among the roots and along the length
of the hair. Soak and rub the head
well in this bath, and then rinse
thoroughly in fresh water of the same
warmth. If well dried at once with
energetic toweling there will meyer be
the smallest danger Of cold. No soap
is needed; the acid of the lemon abso-
lutely removes all grease and dust, and
the hair, after such a bath, is soft,
glossy and clean. This lemon bath
once week will have the most bene-
fetal effect upon the hair; stimulating
its growth, delaying the coming Of
grayness and make it beautifully
pliable and polished.

THE WEEPING WOMAN.

SHOULD women weep" is the topic
of discussion by the readers Of Woman,
q London publication. One contribu-
tor puts in most emphatic mo" The
crying woman, It is maintained, is out
of date-she belongs to the '40s and
'50s, not to this end Of the century.
Woman was then a submissive slave
md man the righteous ruler. Now all
is changed. The new woman is here,
and she rules; therefore she should not
CRY.
In the opinion of another writer, n
woman should cry, provided she does
so "noiselessly." 'If her face begins
to swell, all walls should cease, and she
must not sniff, gulp or otherwise make
an object of herself. If she does all the
pathos Of her crying is gone" The
idea is thrown out that "style" in weep.
ing should be cultivated; for there are
several "forms" of weeping. "Some
weep alone to their pillows in the dead
OF night" This, it Is held, is mistake,
because It makes the weeper old and
ugly before her time and does not do
anybody the slightest good.
Then there is the woman who is cry
ing at every opportune and inoppor-
tune moment. That is bad form in
weeping. The "whimpering style, with
a grievance, usually found in the past
middle-age' lady," should be Stunned.
The worst form of all is the ''red-faced
cry of temper" which usually asserts
itself in an injudicious stamp of the
beautiful arched Trilby. and ends in n
general stampede of the assembled
multitude.

three towns in the United States. There
are several patents on them, including
some on the collar, yoke and button

France and England find market
