This Duchess Makes Golf Hose.

From the Gentlewoman.
The Duchess of Fife has followed the
example of her mother and invested in q
spinning wheel And very pretty one it
is, OF black walnut, mounted with brass,
and, although 100 years old, still in excel
lent working condition. With this wheel
the duchess spins her yarn, which she af-
terward knits into golf stockings for heI
husband, who declares-as indeed he ought
to do-that no stockings hailing from the
PiccadIIly shops have ever worn like these!
Many OF the intimate friends OF the Prin-
cess of Wales, like her daughters, have
followed her example, and started a spin
ming wheel. l cannot say that think spin
ming yarn is well worth woman's time
but l certainly know Of no object SO dec
orative in her drawing room as the quaint
and pretty spinning wheel.

GREAT MEN ON DEBT

Among the threadbare themes of moral
lists the topic OF debt is one ever used. Es-
sayists and writer's since the days of Add
son have taken especial pleasure in this
theme, and if they can paint best who
feel the most" we cannot doubt the ability
of most of the writers to wildly present
the subject. Sir Richard Steele. whose
whole life was u race with baiiiffs, who
excused himself for voting in fragrant con-
tradiction to his professed principles by
saying to the man who reproached him:
''Mr. Winston, you can walk on foot-I
cannot said: 'T am astonished that
men can be SO insenSible to the danger OF
running into debt. One would think it
impossible that man who is given to con-
tracing debts should not know that his
creditor has from that moment in which
he transgresses payment SO much as that
demand comes to i'll his debtors honor,
liberty and fortune

Marcia Netteton, a young widow, and

stopping in the country, in England, with
the latter's mother. They plan two or

but misses the way. She comes to house,

After changing her dress, she goes down

years later Fred writes Marcia that he
has fallen in love with a Miss Vincent.
Marcia goes to his mothers town house To
see him, and discovers a photograph of

good naturedly and runs outlaughing. Noel

Stenopraphy as a Business.

There are 11s 900 women stenographers
In this country earning annually about
100000, 900. To be useful they must be
educated and possess fund of general
knowledge such as can only be acquired by
constant and careful study. The work is
not merely mechanical as some thoughtless
people suppose. A stenographer must be
ever on the alert to detect the mistakes Of
dictators, as well as to avoid errors herself.
If she is engaged in legal work she must
have pretty fair knowledge of the law,
and the same rule applies to commercial
and other kinds Of work.

Still there is another side to the subject
and il is easy to show that If debt has it's
miSeries il has also its compensations.
The long and splendid row OF men who have
bowed to the yoke OF debt shows that it
has its destinations. Lord Bacon wrote ON
The Wisdom OF Business Yet ran
deeply In debt. William Pitt had an in-
come OF from $50 200 to $4,000 year,
yet died $500 900 in debt. Sheridan spent
the fortunes of two wives and was always
lodging creditors and baihffs. Daniel
Webster enjoyed large professional
income, yet lived and died amid swarm
OF debts. Fielding was swamped all his
life long by debts and yet Lady Montagu
said OF him that "he had known more
happy moments than any person on earth. y
The morning times., 1897-03-05

In another way there is no one who
does not love to become an object OF
interest to his fellowmen, and there is no
easier way of doing this than by con-
tracing debts large and small in many
quarters. No one.is an object of more
tender solioitude than the man who prom
ises TO pay year after year. We are not
great people at ALL said Sydney Smith
when he moved into Il new neighborhood
and it was given out that the family was
OF high connection; I'VE are only common,
honest peop!e-people who pay our debts. y
At any rate, the man who is in debt and
wants to pay his Indebtedness has no time
for the blues or mischief. His minutes
are all occupied.

There is much Improvement in
THE singing. The generous riv

results, The Church, in its recon
structed state. is admirably
adapted TO its many uses,
One is absorbed at the sugges,

SLOWLY dying race.
The Indian stood ON the slope
of the Rocky Mountains. pointed
Ieastwardly towards Denver, ly.
ing ut his feet: The white wave
eats up the red wave" he said.
The white race, standing at the
Golden Gate, points westwardly,
beyond the setting stars and cries
with trembling voice: THE vel
low wave is coming to eat up the
white wave" The poor Hawaiian,
standing on these queer pinnacles
of the sea, points eastwardly to
the great white wave. and west
wardly to the great yellow wave,
both advancing in relentless
sweeps, and means; 1.-The white
wave and the yellow wave eat up
the brown wave.'
When these great surges final
~ strike together, where the Hal
waiian stands, there will be no
cry of pain, if the right is done,
only the plaintive melodies of a
dying people, who have done
their part in the operation of hui

ing: Some of the Hawaiians
want TO become subjects of the
United States. y while ago an
agitation resolved itself into de
putation and gots as far as the

When we come down to the

the face that japanese would new

very well TO talk about the revi
sion of treaties and requesting
Japan TO become the under dog,
instead of the upper dog, as il
now is, but such balderdash does
not strike at the root of the prob
lem. japanese come TO this eoun-
try because they find work. En-
ployment is found not alone ON
the plantations. The keen edge

clearer insight into the cause of the
large Bryan vote in the South.
William T.. Dodge told the New
York Chamber of Commerce that
he had found many sections of the.
South and West where there was
absolutely no money at all. One
resident of rich agricultural dis
trict happened to receive a $50
bank bill. He could not get it
changed in his own town. and
spent four days driving about from
town to town throughout the
county striving. to get it changed
into smaller bills. Finally he had
to send the bill to Richmond.
Such a condition seems impossible,
yet the story comes from an au-
thoritatiye source. The average
man draws the hasty conclusion
that the character of the money
used is at fault. Thinking men can
see that reform in the banking
system would be safer way of
remedying the evil.
