One Of the charitable activities of
public-spirited women in London that
is said to be doing much good is a
intending guild" The probabilities are
that there will be one In New York
soon. Mrs. l.. S. cambridge, superin-
tendent of the Woman's Branch of the
New York City Mission, thinks well Of
1t, and intends to organize a guild right
away.
The intention is to furnish work. in
the way of mending and plain sewing,
for that class which Is always SO pitt

persons who have been reduced in cir

WOMEN AS MEN OF WAR,
Compelled In the scandinavian
Navy to Do Mans Work Aboard

In only one country have women so
far "emancipated" themselves from
old customs as to become sailors be-
fore the mast. In the navy of Scandi-
navia they are men-of-war's women
They share the same perils and have
only the same privileges of the men
Whether the woman on board is the
wife Of the captain or of the common
est sailor, she Is compelled by the
government to do the work of a man
before the mast.
Women pilots are also a usual thing
in the navy Of both the Scandinavian
and Danish governments. They sail
far out to sea for the purpose of meet
ing the incoming ships, and conduct
them to port as safely as do male
pilots.
Old and experienced Scandinavian
ship captains say that women make

men in that they have more patience

CooLLY ASKED FOR A Drink.

Mohammed Ben Ahmed ell Habibi was
sent to the gallows for assassinating
a fellow "re1igionist" at Bizertc, near
Tunis, Algeria, quartering two Of his
children, ana firing on the guards COM
missioned to arrest him. ..si,a.
When the day~of his execution ar
rived great crowd of Arabs had gath
cred near the gallOws to witness the
last writing struggles of the doomed
man. Finally the victim was led forth.
The hangman seized him and put the
silk rope around his neck. Imnedf-
ately the assistant loosed the strap
and Mohammed Ben Ahmed swung
out into space. Spasms shook the body
of the murderer; then all was silent,
and everyone thought that IL was all
over and well over with Mohammed
Ben Ahmed. He was left suspended
about quarter of an hour, after which
he was cut down, placed on litter,
and carried to the criminals cemetery.
After the grave-digger had finished
his labors, the body was placed in the
unhollowed trench, and few shoveb;
Of dirt were thrown upon the quiet
form. Suddenly the stfll form began
to show signs of life, and at last sat
up with great difficulty, and coolly
remarked to the digger: "Before you
bury me give me something to drink"
The unexpected resurrection so az
frighted the sexton that he dropped HIS
shovel, and fled 10 the prison at BarflO,
where he informed the director of his
weird discovery.
From 8 o'clock until II Mohammed
Ben Ahmed remained in the shallow
grave exposed to the burning rays OF
the sun. Then he was removed to the
hospital for convicts at Sadlki, where
he was taken care of. He was soon
out OF danger, and was transferred to
the galleys of La Ghulette, where he
is doomed to hard labor for life, which
is looked upon as communication OF
sentence. The grave-digger was so af-
fected by the shock given his nerves
that his life is in danger.

If the latest phase Of modern inge-
nuity proves success, there will be no
more heavy trampling, and the rbyth-
mic clicking of the hoofs Of four-footed
steeds. There has been invented a
new horseshoe-a steel frame about
which is built a cushion of vulcan
lied rubber. The advantage claimed
for it is that, as the rubber instead
OF the metal strikes the ground, there
Is no conclusion or jar, and the horses
hoof, leg and shoulder are saved.
Thirty three per cent. Of the diseases
of horses, 1t has been said, are mala-
dies Of the foot, and there Is little
question that even the best shoeing,
as 1t Is done now by burning the hoof.
Is, in a measure. injurious. This new
horseshoe Is to be put on cold, and the
hoof simply pared or cut to fit 1t is
nailed on In the ordinary way. An
additional advantage Of the rubber sole
is that 1t will give the horse firmer
hold upon wet and treacherous pave
ments, and, by securing him a good
purchase, enable him to go up or come
down steep hills with heavy load far
more easily than at present.

At the examination held before Justice
George w. Mead, of Elba, Albert Fuller
and Fred. Randall, of Elsie, charged with
stealing between 81 400 and 81, 800 from
Mrs. Jane Randall few months ago,
and Chas and Allie Myers, of the same
township, charged with taking about $500
stolen money, which young Randall had
secreted, the Myers brothers were re-
leased, there being no evidence to war
rant their being held, and Fuller and Ran
dali both confessed to the original crime,
but both claimed the other had taken the
money, but that it had been divided equal
ly between them. Fuller disappeared and
eluded the officers for several weeks but
was finally located in Bowling Green,
Ky, and brought back by Sheriff Petit.
1t is supposed that he Showed in" all but
about $3.50 of his share of the robbery,
which he had when arrested. Young
Randall was arrested at home a day or
two after the crime was committed, bur
had secreted his plumber and so far has
refused to give any clew as to its where

Prices Too High.


One of the causes for loss in the cat
tie feeding business Is not difficult to
find, and it would be well to give this
subject careful consideration in cal
culating the chances for profit An
article well bought Is half sold' is an
old adage among merchants, and it Is
alike applicable in the business of cat
tie feeding. OF late, stock cattle and
feeders have commanded prices out
of all proportion to the price obtained
for the finished article, and 1t has been
impossible, even with cheap food and
careful feeding, to realize much profit
from the investment. Unfortunately,
a large proportion of both stockers and
feeders offered for sale are not of the
best quality and such cattle must be
bought cheap or loss in the feed lot is
inevitable.
When cattle are well bred and have
individual merit there is far less risk
fncurred in purchasing, even If the
price is somewhat high, for with such
cattle well finished a price close to the
top can be confidently anticipated. But
with the i'll bred steer, lacking style,
the most careful feeding can never
make amends for what should have
been secured by breeding, and such
cattle prove dear at almost any price.
1t is sheer folly to embark In the cat
tie feeding business making calcula-
tons. as feeders often do, upon adj
vanced prices when the cattle are ready
for market. No business man could
ever be successful by buying above
the market in anticipation Of a rise in
values, and the feeding of cattle, 10
be successful, must be conducted on
sound business principles.

The question never will be settled un-

a great many battles fought against
gold, and gold has won every time. I
do not care how much you discuss 1t or
how many resolutions you pass, they
do not make any difference. You must
come to the same conclusion that all
other people have-that gold is recog-
nized as the universal standard OF
value. 1t Is the measure that must be
used. 1t lie the measure by which your
wealth must be tested. 1t has been and

suspcndinp Cultivation.

AS the fruit begins to ripen in the
orchard or vineyard, cultivation should
be suspended. This is not only that
orchard fruit may not be soiled by
falling upon the loosened earth, but
what is still more important, to pre-
vent the late growth of wood which
will not ripen before winter. If the
