The result of Mrs. F. A. Steels per-
sonal observation is that marriages in
India are singularly happy. There
are fewer cases of unkindness and
violence than in Great Britain. The
lowry system, she AYERS, is great
protection to the WIFE, Every bride
takes her husband dowry. which is a
kind of marriage settlement against
unkindness. If she is badly treated
and thus compelled to go back to her
fathers house, the husband has to re-
turn her dowry; probably he has spent
it, and. as il is not often convenient for
him to refund the money. he takes care

similar system here would be good

Plums are among the few fruits that
retain flavor where corked. If when
ripe they are scalded the peel will come
eff easily and they may then be cut in
small pieces and treated like cherries.

THE CACKLING HEN.

This Poet Calls Her the Create st Bless.
ing of All to Men.
We have read of Maud on summer
day who raked, barefooted, the new
mown hayl we have read of the maid in
the early morn who MIXED the COW with
the crumpled horn; and we've read the
lays that the poets sing, of the rustling
corn and the flowers of spring; but of
all the lays of tongue or pen there's
naught like the lays of the Iowa hen.
Long. long before Maud raked her hay,
the Iowa hen had begun to lay, and ere
the milkmaid stirs peg, the hen is up
and has dropped her egg. The corn
must rustic and flowers must spring il
they hold their own with the BARNARD
ring. If Maud is needing a hat and
gown, she doesn't hustle her hay to
town; she goes to the store and obtains
her suit with basket full of fresh hen
fruit; if the milkmaid's beau makes a
Sunday call, she doesn't feed him on
milk at all; but works up eggs in Gus
tard pie and stuffs him full of a chicken
fry; and when the old man wants al
horn, does he take the druggist load
OF corn? Not. much! He simply robs
nest and to town he goes-you know the
rest. He fingers there and he talks,
perchance, of true reform and correct
finance. while his poor wife stays at
home and scowls, but is saved from
want by those self-same fowls; for while
the husband fingers there, she watches
the cackling hen with care, and gathers
eggs, and eggs she'll hide till she gets
enough to stem the tide. Then hail, all
hail to the Iowa hen, the greatest bless
ing of all to men! Throw up your hats
and make Rome howl for the persever-
ing barnyard fowl! Corn may be king,
but tits plainly seen, that the Iowa hen

partly for her health and partly to
study. Mrs. Mclean went from Cali
fornia and ehaperoned her daughter.
=. 1t was while in New York, just before
lxi-ailing for Europe, that the offer of an
instruetor&ip in English at Stanford
came to Miss Mclean. 1t was secured
for her by certain powerful friends, who
arranged to have it held open for her
until her return from Europe. Up to
that time Miss McLean's tastes had led
her in literary and classic paths, but she
had no definite aim in her preparation.
She expected, vaguely, to teach, but just
what or where had not entered into her
calculations.
Miss Mclean went first TO England,
where she entered the oxford college
annex. Later she studied IN Berlin ana
Travelled extensively. Her health i'm
proved rapidly, and she paid close atten-
ton to the methods in the various for
eign institutions where she was spe-
cial student. At Stanford Miss Mclean
is to be an adjunct to the chair of Eng
fish literature. For the present her
work will be confined to freshmen and
sophomore, and she will do nothing
but correct and comment upon themes.

Fitting over New Corsets.

Most women make the mistake when
they are having dress fitted Of wear
ing new corsets. A Partisan dress
maker or first-class tailor will never
fit over new corset if there is particle
OF starch init. Why? Simply because
a corset that is starched keeps its
shape on account of the stiffening af-
forded by the starch. which after few
wearings lessons. and such shapeliness
as the corset had leaves it, with the
result that the bodice which was fitted
over it has at the end of few times
wearing different figure to fit. Not
being automatically adjustable, the

PROF. MARY M'LEAN.
Youngest Woman in the Faculty of
Any Western College.

Miss Mary Mclean, of Oakland, Cal.
who is one of the new assistant instruc.
tors in English literature at Stamford
university, is not the only woman in
the faculty of that institution. Mrs.
Mary Weldon Barnes, the historian, and
Mrs. Mary Williams have preceded her,
but Miss Mclean has the distinction of
being the youngest woman in the fac
ulty of any western college. Her own
Alma Mater, the University of Cali
fornia, has not yet seen fit to open its
faculty door to women, but Stanford,
being younger, is less conservative.
Miss Mary Matilda Mclean is young
lady of interesting personality. She is
of Scotch stock, and has always been
noted for her serious temperament.
She is well endowed mentally, though
not remarkable for a robust physique.
She is quite ambitious, and decidedly
earnest and thorough.
Miss McLeans' family were New Eng
landers when they ceased to be Scotch,
and the .sturdiness of the race shows in
this younges scion. The young lady is
rs years of age, an only child and has
been carefully reared. Her father is
Rev. J. X. Mclean, d. D., who has been
In California for 30 years, and is known
oil over the west. He is the leading
Congregationalist in California. For 25
years he was pastor of the most pow
erful church of that denomination on
the coast, and is now president of the
Pacific Theological seminary.
From her father Miss Mclean inner
tied a penchant for book learning, and
the study OF science and the languages.
She attended the public schools, the

For chocolate stains use cold water

GOOD GARDEN SOIL.
1t Is One in Which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely

IL Is one In which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.
What is or what is not good garden
soil is often a great question. The Gus
toner often complains to the nursery
men that, though he planted his trees
in the very best soil, yet he had little
success. Very few people seem to I'M
derstand that good soil is one in which
the atmosphere can freely circulate
The earth must not allow the air to cir
culate to such an extent as to lose its
moisture, but it must have an abund-
ance of small spaces which will contain
small quantities of air before plants
will thrive. We sometimes speak of "air
plants" but, in truth. all plants are air
plants, no matter whether growing on
rocks or trees or whether growing in
the earth. Air is of far more conse-
quence to the roots than to the leaves.
When, therefore. we have a stiff CLAW
earth to deal with. we make a good soil
by applying sand. or vegetable matter
which when it rots will leave small
spaces in which air may be collected.
- 10 ioi tHC same ISdSou lHdt we crush
hard clods, for hard clod has no air
spaces. When broken to pieces-pul-
serizing is the technical term-we
simply give the chance for atmospheric
air to spread throughout the whole
mass. For the same reason, what is
known as a wet soil is bad soil, be-
cause water drives out the air. There is
70 air in earth which is water-tight. It
has been noted that the use of hole in
the bottom of flower pot is not so
much to allow the escape of water as it
is to permit fresher air to flow in the
spaces of earth when the water leaves
it. In the language of gardening, a
good soil is one which is perfectly
"aerated. Monthly.
