Mrs. McKInle1,s Corn Hat.

Among the euriosities that Mrs. Mo Kinley has just added to the White House museum is q hat made entirely of corn The hat was sent to the presi- dents wife from Atchison, Kan. where it figured in the great corn carnival which takes place annually in that city to celebrate the success of the season s yield The hat was voted the most unique and dainty production of the corn festival It was designed and made by Mrs H. J Cusaek of Atchison. So tasteful and original have been Mrs Cnsack' productions ill corn costumes that her delighted townspeople have dubbed her tho corn milliner of Kan sas. " The most peculiar feature of the corn hat is that the corn, having been treated by some special preparation, shines like ivory and makes most at tractive headdress. Worn at night, 1t would cause Q sensation as one of the prettiest and most striking hats ever devised, and few would guess that the wonderful and costly looking head oov- ering was made of corn husks.

Woman and the Nation.

As the country develops and the liv- ing questions of how it's vast areas shall be possessed by industrious, happy peo- ple press for settlement, women bring to the solution the discipline of the home, the school and the philanthro- pies where tho vital questions of pro- duotion, distribution and consumption have been studied according to scien- tifio theory and illustrated by practical application.
 It is impossible that women shall have carried all these interests i'll their hearts, and in their activities, and not be well equipped for their application in the broad domain of national economies
 Some of us are deeply concerned in these vital problems of American life We find ourselves in the midst of con ditions which, until recently, were wholly European. Mixed populations ill crowded cities and colonies of for. eigners distributed through the country give rise to apprehension i'll the minds of intelligent women. 1t Is not possible, neither would it be right, to attempt tho wholesale exclusion of these foreign CTS. They arc tho children of the Heay- enly Father whom we call 'our Fa- ther. Some arc of tho noblest fiber they have brought new luster to the stars and brightness to the stripes of the dear old fag-but masses of others are windfalls of monarchial governments, the garbage of oriental civilizations and deserters from imperialism and mili- tarism American women. tho dauph- ters of Revolutionary heroes, tho daugh- ters, tho wives, tho sisters of Q later generation of heroes, know that all the interests they hold dear arc to degree affected by tho political action of these men.
 Thoughtful women know that the nation is a grand whole; that if one member suffers tho wholo suffers; that if ono is blessed all are blessed. Women have no separate interests. If man is elevated and tho general tone of society is purified, woman receives her share oi advantages
 Tho country has made immense strides i'll material development during the last quarter of century. Huge commercial enterprises have arisen like giants in armor and have strode from ocean to ocean, leaving tracks of steel and hand prints of light
 The triumphs of mind over matter stamp this period illustrious among the centuries. Within this success there hides danger Tho loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive to touch The cultivation of one set oi faculties tends to the disuse of others. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculties permitted others as essential to national life to be blight. ed by disuse?
 During this evolution woman rela. tions to the industrial, the educational and the philanthropic world and her pressure toward the political world has been q savor of life unto life. Gommu. nity life and nati6aul life need heart Women have much heart Out of the heart arc the issues of hfe.-Mrs J Ellen Foster in North American Re. view.

One More Outlet.

A New York veterinary surgeon hal announced that he would gladly give a capable woman constant work as an as. sistant ill his treatment for injured and ailing horses Still thero are few if any eases i'll this country where graduated women can Do found to do work among sick animals
 Germany and Russia boast of women veterinarians but England has to plead guilty to no women declaring them selves thus practically on the side of suffering dumb creatures. This is espe. oially queer when it is remembered that the women of the merry island are pro. verbally fond of dogs, cats and horses, many of tho leading ladies of title find. ing their greatest pleasure in the chase and the kennels.
 The field of work for women among pet eats and dogs should be very large one. At the present moment, strange to say the rank and file of the physicians who attend animals are better paid than their eounterparts who attend human beings The system of long credit that prevails in regard to people does not seem to hold when accepted as indiea. tive of the fact that people are less grateful to tho man who cures their children than to the one who treats the pony or the pet dog Rather is it a sign that the physician's profession is over crowded, while that of the veterinary surgeon is not
 Here then, is one more outlet for the activity of healthy, fearless girls Of course it requires an immense amount of study and hard work-what profes- sion does not? And it offers no field to dreamy people with shivery nerves and an artistic temperament-so much tho better.
 The great advantage is that when the studies have been completed and the veterinarian Is ready for the struggle there is an excellent prospect before her of well paid work to do. Gan any one say as much in regard to music paint. ing or literature?
 There is no large farm or cattle range or ranch where there is not frequent need of the skill of the veterinarian. There are hundreds of settlements to- day where their solo dependence in veterinary way is some Indian or half breed. Philadelphia Press.

size and furnishings, whilo others are smaller and palmer i'll their appoint ments, and in some of these, through long accumulations, the furniture is crowded. But wherever assigned to sit the crisp muslin frocks and the bright ribbons of tho women give an air of freshness and beauty to tho surround ings, like that of roses in a garden of shrubs Nowhere are so many white dresses worn by women as Ill this Cap ital City-even to the shee9est of mus lins and organdies--in the streets and in offices. However one may regard the custom one must admit that the dainty costumes light up the dingy official spaces with I wonderful brilliance. For tho most part there are not many clerks placed in one room-often no more than two or three persons-and tall, green screens are very generally used to shut out the gaze of curious passersby in the corridors. Tho ages of the women range from 20 to 30 years, and even more than that. One ungallant chief of q di- vision remarked that he found the aver ago very high in his rooms Though they are as rule very happy ill their situations, sone are restless and would hail with joy change of surroundings. There is charming spirit of camara- derie and loyalty to each other among the members of the little eoteries, who have known one another through long years, that is truly beautiful. |"

Tho f,rave of Kate Field.

fn a letter to the Chicago Inter Ocean Miss Lillian Whiting writes:
 A memorial cross has been placed in Mount Auburn, near Boston, over the urn containing the ashes of the earthly body of Kate Field The urn was com mitted to the earth by the side of the graves of her father and mother and a brother who died in his childhood. The place is a beautiful one, on high ground, with beautiful oyerarehing elms waving in the air. It has been my sad and sacred privilege to take charge of this last earthly tribute to the gifted and lovely woman whose ashes there repose. and I designed for it a cross of the purest white Italian marble, with the name Kate Field, in raised letters, on tho short arm of tho cross. It is placed on two pediments, and on the upper of these-of the same marble-are inscrib- ed tho lines:

Bifurcated Garments on tho Bicycle.

The desire of the average girl to array herself in bifurcated garments is mys- terious instinct, but it undoubtedly ex- ists, and, moreover, the bicycle would have given her an opportunity of grati- flying the whim to her hearts content if only she had been willing to act upon rather more rational system. In Par is, where the cycling micker has been adopted, it is, on the whole, a failure because the wearers seem only to recog- nize tho possibility of adopting one of two extreme models-either they swathe their lower limbs in baggy zouaves, which are almost as inconYenient as skirts and ten times moro hideous, or else they incase them ill absolutely skin tight garments, which, whether they are made of cloth, corduroy or velvet, are scarcely built upon the pattern ap- proved by Mrs. Grundy and only on the very rarest occasions have even the merit of being becoming.
 On the other hand, 1t is generally ac- knowledged that a man with any pre- tensions to decent build never looks so we'll as i'll kniekerboekers, but then he wears them neither hopelessly baggy nor desperately tight If this masculine compromise had been adopted by the fair eyclist, she would have found it far more becoming when once she had mas tered the art of walking in it, and, while being perfectly proper" in ap- pearance, 1t might safely be worn by those whose figures were scarcely ealeu- lated to bear the test of the skin tight model.
 Here, however, this chance of "bifur- cation" has been allowed to go by, ut any rate for the present, for dressmak- CTS are at last beginning to understand what for long time seemed an abso- lute impossibility tho art of making a skirt which hangs not only tolerably, but positively smartly, upon bicycle, Having accomplished this, it is perhaps not too much to hope that the bicycle girl will begin to realize that it is not necessary, when astride her wheel, to cast to the winds all thought of her personal appearance, but, on the contra ry, will bear i'll mind that ill no other position are her gloves, boots, waist and hat so exposed to criticism. As for tight lacing for q bicycle costume, it is undoubtedly to the interest of the world at large to encourage it, inasmuch as 1t tends to diminish the number of that terrible plague from which even the sorely beset King Pharaoh was mer. cifully delivered-the feminine scoreh. er.-Philadelphia Times.
