1t is often said that the isolation OF
the country is the strongest objection
to 1t. Possibly 1t may be with many.
Charles Dickens once said that when
he found anything in his own heart he
felt sure that 1t might be found in other
hearts, since human nature is much
the same everywhere. So, speaking out
OF my own experience, say that one
may love his very isolation: may be
glad to have home that is quite away
from others, where ones very own
may be gathered. OF course, l do not
mean such loneliness as Is found in the
newer portions of the west, where the
nearest neighbor is miles away; where
the postof1ce Is further still. and where
churches are not. 1t is rather Of con-
ditions such as are to be found in
our thickly settled central states that

l fancy many farmer will smile at
my next hint. that the chickens should
be fenced out of the dooryard. There
are few women who do not love how-
ers. But 1t Is disheartening to plant
and have the beds scratched over be-
fore night. The neat dooryards OF the
towns, with their flowers blooming un-
molested. look very tempting to the
woman who has carried brush and piled
around the few plants that she has sue
ceeded in keeping alive in spite of the
chickens. There is so much more
room in the country that there is
greater opportunity to have beautiful
home surroundings; the average farm
house compares unfavorably with vii
laEe homes in this respect. AS an aid
in making the home attractive, buy a
lawn mower and use 1t. Flowers never
appear to such advantage as when the
beds have a setting of smooth green
turf II the yard must be moved with
a scythe. as is often the case on the
farm. the grass will be allowed to grow
up and hide many of the more modest
blossoms. Perhaps the horses will be
turned in to Craze 1t down. and to
trample down the flowers as we'll.

The farmers wife is shut up to the
home life in greater degree than is
true of almost any other class of wom-
en-. She does not simply work from
sunrise to sunset, but from before day
light until long after dark. Sometimes
it happens that when all the chores are
done and supper is over, the other
members of the family gather around
the lamp with books and papers or
games, while she must mend. or per-
haps make new garments. Often the
family is so used to this state of things
as not to notice it. Yet in her heart
the wife and mother may be longing
to read. II some member of the family
will read aloud she will find her task
less wearisome. and all will be benefit
ed by the discussion which is almost
sure to follow.

tie. but my husband read aloud while

Sympathize with your wife in her
hobby. whatever 1t may be. A hobby
is usually very harmless amusement,
and every woman needs something
which will interest her enough to take

duty lies along this routine, and a con-
scientious woman finds = pleasure In
doing that duty as well as she can.

Few women of the present day have
strength for the manifold tasks that
fall to the lot of the farmers wife.
Many drag through the daily round.

ure In anything. So my first sugges-
tion is, plan so that she may get more
rest. Competent help in the home is
exceedingly hard to obtain. and many
women prefer to do their own work.
II husbands realized how like a last
straw the weekly washing often is. they
would insist on hiring that part OF the
work II the wife has no help.

PIGS UP NORTH
Trying to Gobble Supplies for the
Southerners

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-While
Ulysses Grant. Jr.. was in Washington
recently he made a personal application
to the Navy Department to have the
Marion, just condemned for further
active service in the Navy, assigned to
the use Of the Naval Militia at San Diego.
The Navy Department agreed to the re-
quest and having put the old ship in
order. notified the Governor of Califor-
MIA that she was ready for delivery to
the State. The Governor, however, has
now asked that the Marion be turned
over to the Naval Militia, or turn it
over to the San Francisco Militia. The
Navy Department. however. is unwil-
ling to do this. They have informed the
Governor that the Marion is unfit for
cruising, which it is understood is the
object of the San Francisco Militia,
while on the other hand the Comanche
cannot be used at San Diego. inasmuch
ns she is required to go into the dry
dock at Mare Island at short intervals.
1t is also represented to the Governor
that it is to the interest Of the service
to have each Of the two California Naval
Militia branches supplied with vessel
and that the San Diego branch Is entitled
to one.

day. The plnintiff is Nellie O'Donnell
and tho defendants are Henry l.. Dyrne,
Cecilia Byrne, Daisy b. Byrne, Maria
S. Murphy and Eugene p. Murphy

sions he had declared his intention Of
making suitable provision for her main-
tcnancc after his death. Shortly before
his death, ByIne took from safe which
he had in his house an envelope in
dorsed with the name of the house
keeper. The envelope contained 200
shares Of the capital stock of the Mar
ket Street Railway Company, fifty
shares of the capital stock of the Spring
Valley Water Company and other stocks
and bonds Of which description is not
given In the complaint. Upon this occa-
sion, 1t Is alleged that Byrne inormed

Miss O'Donnell claims that Henry l..
Byrne fraudulently converted most of
the stocks to his own use.

A GOVERNMENT ANGEL
The Musical Issue in Costa Ricau
Politics

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-"Shall the
government continue to be an angel for
an opera house?" is the burning ques-
ton upon which hinges the result of the
Presidential election In Costa Rica.
One of the passengers on the Atlas liner
Adirondack. which has just arrived
from Limon, was Gabriel Martin a
prominent citizen of San Jose, the Costa
Rican capital. who is on his way to
Paris on business connected with the
new opera house. This opera house
cost between $4,000, 900 and 1000. 900 and
was built by the wealthy residents of
Costa Rica. The government keeps it
running by subsidy.
Mr.. Martin says the Costa Rica Presi-
Dental election began Monday and
would continue until tonight. They
vote for three days in Costa Rica.
The great question In the election is
the government subsidy to the opera
house. President Iglesias favors the
subsidy and his opponent is against it.
An italian company is giving grand and
comic opera In the place. The opposi-
ton, Mr. Martin says. has a good chance
of winning.

possible to carry out the proposed re-
forms. On the other hand there is the
fear that jingo members of Congress
who have been expecting so much at the
hands of Mckinley, may not be satisfied
with all that Spain has promised and
that another outbreak in Congress will
tend to aggravate the situation in Spain
The Presidents chief desire now is t.
stave off action of any kind by Congress:
until it can be definitely known whether
Spain's new plan is to succeed or fail.
