NOT. ON SATURDAYS.
Teachers Repe the Idea Of Holding Con-
ventions on That pav.

tentons on mar Day.
The annual meeting of the Worces-
ter County Teachers Association yes
terday was largely attended, and pro
ductive Of many good results. The
meeting was opened at 915 o'clock, and
the entire time until o'clock in the
afternoon was devoted to the various
topics which interest the teachers of
the county.
At the business session, the question
of disbanding the association came up,
and the delegates voted, by practical
ly unanimous vote, to let the old asso-
citation stand. A feature of the meet
ing which formed the most excitement
of the session was the introduction by
L. p. Nash of Gardner, of a resolution
favoring the holding of these meetings
on Saturday. Great opposition met the
idea, and it was defeated by a large
majority.
There were two very interesting adj
dresses delivered during the afternoon
one by Col. Henry A. Thomas, post
master at Boston, and the other by
Marshall L. Perrin of Wellesley. Col
ISM" and Mr.. Perrin took Personal
ity in education as his topic. Both
were highly instructive, entertaining
and productive of good share of APP
plause.
DR.. c. F. Hodge of Clark University
was in evidence, and he had few
words to offer in regard to the study
of nature. The doctor was not at all
pleased with the way things were be-
ing run in schools today, and offered
many changes which would result in
the improvement of the work.
The officers elected at the meeting
yesterday include: President, A X.

Nash, Gardner M. Fl. Bowman, Barre;
Eta L. Chapman, Leicester; secretary,

NICOTINE.

1 have sung in many places
y have frequently described her as my
queen;
But now in poetic phrases
] intend to chant the praises
OF another love, the nymph called Nicotine.
Tho l trust my dearest lady
VIII not think my conduct shady,
And with envy and with jealousy turn
green;
For the notion is distressing,
Yet / cannot help confessing
An attachment to the nymph called Nico-
tine.
] am not the only lover
OF the nymph, for round her hover
Worshipers too numerous to count, ] ween,
Young and old adoring gaily.
Whilst they offer incense daily
At the altar of the nymph called Nicotine.
Tho her charms are great and many,
OF the fair sex scarcely any
In the ranks of her admirers will be seen,
But the simple and the gentle
Have a more than sentimental
Alteration of the nymph called Nicotine.
Then her worship is a pleasure
For she spends the hours of leisure
And she makes our appetite for work more
keen:
II you are not too rapaclous
She is never aught but gracious,
Sweetly soothing is the nymph called Mic
otine.

English vgorkingwomen.

According to recent statistical re- turns, the total number of women over the age of IS employed in factories and workshops in the British islands is a little over l, GOO, GOO, of which about II per cent belong to trades unions. Most of these have membership in common with the men, but there are some sepa- rate women's unions organized, officer ed and conducted exclusively by female mem bers. Among these are the Felt Hat Trimmers and Wool Formers as- sociation, with 3, 486 members; the Fe- male Cigar Makers Protective union, with a membership of little over 1, 900, and few other associations, with a still smaller list of members. The great bulk of the women workers are included in the mixed unions show ing a disposition to work out her indus trial, like her other problems, in con- pany with the men, rather than separate from them.

SHUT OUT,
ARKANSAS WILL NOT MAKE
 AN EXHIBIT.
The Omaha Exposition Officials Seek to Hold up the State, and Her
 Commissioners Pull Out.

Arkansas will not be represented at the Omaha Exposition.
 The secretary of the Arkansas commissioners, ". D. Matthews, has officially notified the people of the State that Arkansas has been obliged to either withdraw or sub- mil to a holdup, and declining to be subjected to the footpads who have charge of the enterprise, the State has withdrawn from all intention to be represented.
 In this announcement Mr. Mat thews say that his agreement with Col. Richardson representing the exposition as special commissioner, was that Arkansas should erect her own building and place therein it's exhibits, though not for compe- titionl It was under this agree ment that MT. Matthews went to Omaha on the 17th of April taking with him workmen, and began to prepare for work, he having gotten the plat of ground for building per nit, and an order from the superin- tendent of the grounds. Mr. Matthews inadvertently referred to the thousands of feet of space which each State was to have free in any of the show buildings, when he was informed by Mr. Hardt, who appears to be man of much local influence, that the State of Arkansas had al- ready spoken for four thousand feet of space. Mir. Matthews informed him that the State had not engaged any space, it being considered pre- ferable to erect State building and make composit exhibition therein. MT. Hardt emphatically stated that Arkansas would not be permitted to exhibit in it's own building. The matter was referred to the exposi- tion executive committee, and that body decided that if the State of Arkansas would pay in S771 it would be permitted to erect its own building. That proposition was refused, and after time the committee decided that if the amount asked for was paid in, there would be rent of $521 which would make the cost but $250.
 This proposition was declined by the Arkansas commissioners. MT. Matthews ordered the work of erecting the State building to pro- ceed, and as nothing was said in opposition to it by the exposition authorities, he left Omaha for Little Rock, and had not been there long when he received telegram from his foreman stating that the work on the State building had been ordered stopped. He then tele- graphed the men to return to Little Rock, which they did. A meeting of the State commissioners was held in Little Rock recently, at which the course of Mr, Matthews was commended, and at which it was de- cided that Arkansas would make no exhibit at the exposition unless the original agreement was carried out.
 And thus the matter stands.

Flower Fans.

A happy idea, started by foreign fan makers, is to conceal long tubes in the fan sticks, so that punches of flowers may be firmly held in them. The effect is fan of natural flowers. as charming as it is novel, while the odor waited in flaming is most delicious. The new fad will be to order flowers for one's fan and to study floral effects in connection with corsage bouquets and skirt trim mings.
