PRESIDENT KRUGER's WIFE.
She Lives in South Africa With No
Idea of Her Own Importance.

Idea of Her Own Importance.
Mrs. Kruger, of South Africa. is one
of the few remaining women in coun-
tries with any pretense to civilization
who consider that they owe obedience
and ciyility to their husbands. She is
no believer in the political woman, and
would be as much Mortified at the mere
suggestion that such thing as equality
between the sexes should exist as she
would if it were proposed that free love
should be general in Pretoria. 1t is ru-
mored that the famous presidents wife
is a great power in her own household
But she makes no pretense to interfere
in matters without it. OF politics she
knows literally nothing, but listens
with admiration to Dom Paurs state
ments, and the opinion she deduced
from them is that she has married the
greatest man on earth, which however,
has not in the least increased her per-
sonal Importance in her own estima-
ton. She has not started a salon, or
even ordered a new frock, but she will
shortly, for the first time, have a really
handsome carriage Of her own.

of the amount of gold used in gold leaf

manufacturer of this material, "but it
is big quantity. Probably a dentist
could give you better idea than can.
Gold foil is used almost entirely by
dentists in filling teeth; gold leaf is
used in gliding, book binding and oper-

that seems thin enough, in all con-

'How much gold foil do the dentists
use?" I inquired.
"Well," he replied, 81 should think
that they use on an average about 50
cents worth of gold per cavity, as
teeth go. Some are bigger, some are
smaller. This BOTTLE" and he held UP
vial such as dentists keep their gold
in, "holds some four dollars worth OF
foil, and that would make about eight

If the average cavity bored out by
the Industrious American dentist with
such extreme discomfort to the suffer-
ing patient contains so cents worth OF
gold, how much gold do oil the millions
of cavities so constructed employ?

PECULIAR DEFENSES.

A sagacious pickpoclet, who was
caught exercising his agile art one cold
day, actually had the audacity to assert
that his hands were so affected by the
frost as to prevent his knowing where
he put them.
Convivial gentlemen, who have been
asked to furnish reason for their
strange elevation of spirits on a pre-
vious evening, have been known to at
tribute that phenomenon to the royal
wedding, the fear of influenza and other
topical subjects. ...
A parsonage suspected of burglarious
designs-and not unknown to the police
was caught scaling the roof of a sub
urban villa early one morning. His de-
fense was that he had mounted the
roof in order to catch q favorite parrot
which had escaped from its cage.
A lady's maid in Manchester, when
charged with confscating certain

women of the East About to Tnaugu-
rate = Crusade Against Them.
That peculiarly despicable creature,
the New York masher, is destined to
have a decidedly and deservedIy un-
pleasant time if a movement now being
discussed in the eastern metropolis is
carried forward as at present intended.
A crusade against men who make in
sulting advances to women who appear
in the streets without escorts is soon
to be begun. This fight will be under
taken by women. They propose to COM
bat what they consider a greater evil
than the soliciting of men by women.

nation when 1 heard of the proposed
plan of the City Vigilance league to en-

advances and then to cause their ar

that it is pretty weakened man who

not men, need protection. AS the po-

about making any organized effort to

names at present, but within short
time there will be an organization of
women who will take the matter up
for their own protection"
How do you propose to go about this
work."
We will employ some strong ner7ed
women and send them out in various
thoreughfares, followed by detective
or policeman in plain clothes. The first
man who speaks to them, the police
man will arrest. They would not have
to go very far. No, indeed, and I tell
you that few expeditions of that sort
would lead to the arrest of men in the
best social and financial circles. It
would be a revelation to New Workers

When Captain Pickett of the West
Thirtieth street station was spoken to
in regard to the proposed crusade, he
said:
There is nothing that would give me
more pleasure that to see such a thing

drance to our work in that line at the
present time. This is the dread women
have of appearing in a police station,
or, worse still, in police court, as COM
plainants. Under such plan as is pro-
posed, however, the complaint will be
made, and few of those loafers will
be run down. The police would like
to have hand in such a crusade"

"A Plaeua of Coyotes.

A novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by a
rancher of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells on the necks of a great
number of cattle in his herds, and the
result has been to scare the coyotes
away In the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost single
animal, while previously his loss aver
ager at least one steer day. Coyotes
are becoming more of pest every sea-
son in many parts of Washington and
Oregon, despite all the efforts of the
cattlemen and farmers to exterminate
them. Thousands of dollars are spent
every year il waging wa an the beasts,
but with little results. Poison availed
for a time but now the coyotes refuse
to touch the poisoned carcases of steers
strewn about for their consumption.
The only way of killing them is by
shooting them, and this is feeble and
wholly inadekuate means. Occasionally
the residents combine and have grand
roundup hunt, driving the coyotes to-
ward the center of the circle, and
slaughtering them there, and that is the
only means of appreciably thinning
them out occasionally. In some re-
gions the packs of gray wolves are as
numerous and troublesome as the coy
otes. The coyotes are particularly
adept chicken thieves. and, indeed, are
a general pest around the farmyards.

Heautx and the Rath.

The beginning of beauty is the bath.
The woman who has no respect for soap
and water and sponges will struggle in
vain with creams and lotions. After
the daily bath has done its work in
clearing the system of impurities
through the pores and in making firm
the skin, lotions and creams are valua-
BILE to soften, smooth and whiten. But
without the bath they are utterly use
less. Not every woman is able to take
a tub bath every day, but every woman
is strong enough to take sponge bath
daily, and two or three tub baths a
week. The spongs baths may be made

pouring a little alcohol, toilet cologne
or toilet vinegar into the water.

which arrived here from Southampton

and she purchased a ticket at the

was not discovered until the ships

the steerage, vaccinating all the be-

her to bare her arm. She refused, and
it was through the attention the refusal

JUMPERS AP HORSE SHOW.

Ability In the Field.

Ability In the Field.
Does the style of riding in a show
ring differ from the style of riding in
the hunting field? This question is an
swered af1rmatively to the observer of
cross-country run the minute he wit
nesses a jumping competition at the
horse show, says the Rider and Driver.
Every experienced hunrsman knows
that the horses behave differently.
Therefore, why should not the rider be
accordingly affected?
Capt. Hayes says some horse-show
promoters in England, care nothing for
jumping itself, convert these competi-
lions into mere circus performances
and award prizes to horses which no
sane man would take into the hunting
field; jumping competitors judged sole
ly by their capability of getting over
obstacles without touching them; win
ming roSettes given TO mad, impetuous
'brutes of horses, which have to be taken
at walk or prance, generally tail first
to within a few yards Of each obstacle
before being let go like an equine rocket
into space, and genuine hunters dis
qualified because they won't take more
out of themselves than is actually re-
quired. We have all noticed this same
sort of performance at the Garden and
at other shows in the country. But
coming to the question of riding in the
field and in the ring it is likewise to
be recalled that we have sometimes
been severe in commenting on the form
displayed by the riders of animals dis
playing extraordinary peculiarities.
Good riders assure US that if the critics
should see them in the field as well
as at the show the difference in style
of riding would be noted. It is neces-
sary in many instances to exercise a
sort of perverted style, it seems, in or
der to meet the exigencies of the show
ring.
A good hunter should always land
well beyond his fence, so as not to
drop in a ditch that might be under
meath, which he cannot see in the hunt
ing field; but in the show prizes will
be given horses that hop over fence
and land so closely as almost TO brush
the rails off with their hooks and tails.
To sit such a horse on the rise it is
necessary for the rider to lie well up on
the animals neck, and in coming down
to be almost supine. To jump under
such circumstances every particle of
weight must be taken off the horses
loins, which would not be so keeniy
felt were the horse taking his jumps
in an. open stride.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1I.-Some of the
Republican silver Senators held con-
ference after the adjournment of the
Senate yesterday to canvass the
chances of passing the silver substi-
tute for the House bond bill through
the Senate. They went over the list
very carefully, comparing notes on
Senators considered doubtful, and
reached the conclusion that the sub
stitute would win by a majority of
about three votes They also consid-
cred the alternative of postponing
action until after the new Senators
from Utah shall arrive, but concluded
that in view of the facts developed at
the meeting the postponement would
not be necessary
