A Frenchwoman of Note.

When people go to the opera or the- ater or the salon in Paris, says the London Sketch, they sometimes see small. well dressed man, with clean shaven face and small feet and hands, and they sometimes think what a nice. refined looking man; but never in the world do they suspect that this same fine looking man is a woman, and one of the most famous in Paris. Mme. Dieulafoy is one of the most celebrated of the worlds arch@ologists and has been of great service to the scientific world. She discovered the ruins of the temple of Darius, which are now in the Louvre in Paris. For this great achieve ment the French government. decorated her with the order of the Legion of Honor and gave her the right to wear mems attire at all times She is mar ried, and her husband is most devoted to her, both having the same tailor. Their home is one of great luxury and refinement. and the two gather about them the savants of France, who arc eager to pey homage to so learned and so remarkable a woman. Mime. Dicu- lafoy's nature is not like her taste in dress. for she is entirely feminine in speech and manner, and still retains her womanly gestures and mannerisms, which appear little odd with her fine tailor coats and trousers. She never wears woman's dress at any time, and her wardrobe is as perfect as the best dressed of London swells. Her silk hat is the perfection of glossiness. her linen correct and immaculate, and her coats the latest cut Her hair is short and arranged in a straight "bang' on the foreh sad, and her skin is fresh and rosy When in the street with her hus- band she carries herself exactly like a man. and uses her walking stick with ccnat aaca

THE WORK OF CATHOLIC SISTERS IN THE
 SOUTH SEAS.

Two missionary nuns recently passed across the continent from New York to San Francisco on their way from Paris to the island of Tahiti, in the Pacific ocean.
 They were a strange pair, these two women, who had devoted themselves to work among the natives of that lone isle. It is difficult to imagine a more strangely contrasting couple. One has for many years been a missionary in the

Portland's Foreign Trade

Portland has always had the right idea
in the line Of commercial expansion" says
the Portland Orcgonian. Continuing, it says
1--WE have built up large foreign trade by
competing for it in the markets of the
world, not by waiting tor it to come to US.
If we had depended upon circulars and
price lists we should still be making flour
Tor home consumption or shipping nearly all
OF the wheat to European mills for grind
ing. We have sent commercial agents to
Siberia and they studied the wants of the
people in the lumber line. Result, we have
the nucleus of an enormous trade in lumber.
We studied the Chinese and the Japanese
and ascertained to a nicety their tastes in
the matter of flour. Result, we are giving
them -four of quality which cannot be sur
passed by any nation and we are supplying
it. at prices that put it within the means
Of our customers. Continuation of this
modern plan Of getting trade and holding
it will make Portland one of the great com
mercia1 cities of the world. But the ex-
pense of educating foreigners as to the
merits of our goods should not, as in the
past, be loaded upon the shoulders Of the
enterprising few"

The Tin Plate Trust

Advices from Chicago early in the week
regarding the proposed consolidation of tin.
plate manufacturers indicate that the deal
is now almost certain to go through. Options,
1t is stated, have been secured on over 70
per cent of the tinplate plants Of the United
States.
"The tinplate industry of the country
produced l3,646,7l9 pounds, or $500 tons of
tin and terne plates, in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1892" says the Chattanooga Times.
'In the year ended June 30, 1893, the pro-
duct was, in round figures, 640,0O0,0O0
pounds, or $4,000 tons. Whereas In 1889 we
imported nearly 400, 900 tons Of tin and tenre
plate from Europe-almost exclusively from
Europe-we now import less than one-fourth
of that amount The largest manufacturer
Of tinplate in Wales has sold his plant and
will come to the United States to embark
In the trade"

Dun & Co.'s Review

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade will say tomorrow
American products, exchange is infiuenced
mainly by political uncertainties abroad.
While Europe awaits the outcome between
England and France about the Upper Nile,
the financiers Of all European countries
are trying to force upon each other the
burden Of providing public cash for the
enormous demands of the United States.
England has SO managed as to make
gold and the resulting war OF exchange
between foreign nations checks for the mo.
ment the movement of gold this way. Yet
these and all other causes do not so far
hinder business as to prevent an excess
over the most prosperous of previous years.
The outgo of wheat staggers all prophets

feeling that the enormous foreign demand

In wooden goods there has been marked
Improvement during the. past week, and
better sales, with extensive inquiry, This
is reflected in the large transactions In the
wool market, which amounted for the past
week to 1856. 600 pounds, of which q. ~, 400
were domestic, making for the past three
weeks TO- 1886, 100 pounds, against 81, 162, 100 for

pounds for the same week in 1892. Sales in
Boston have been the largest for n.,aea nearly Y

quotations.
There is much hesitation in the iron and
steel trade, partly because the outcome OF
various combinations in bessemer M pig, steel ei
yet be definitely anticipated. Yet. the
prices of domestic products have not de-
cllned, and although the tone is somewhat
weaker for bars and plates quotat tions are
in part sustained by considerable orders
for export The plate mills have received
orders for twenty thousand tons from the
government for shipping purposes and the
bar and billet mills have very encourag

WilloHwara Wanted

A recent report of the Department OF
Agriculture calls attention to the profit
there is in osier culture if prosecuted by
farmers as a side line to other products.
II is stated that nearly all the willow used
in this. country for making willowware is
imported. II is suggested that vast tracts
Of land in the country that are practically
worthless for most agricultural purposes
might be used for osier culture. Information
furnished to the department by some Of the
few growers engaged in osier culture place
the net profit Of an acre at figures varying
from tl25 (the minimum in unfavorable
conditions) to $I33. Experience has shown
that the best soil appears to be fresh black
but sour meadow land ia acceptable.

Granite Telegraph Poles

Quite a list of materials have been used
for telegraph poles, but the idea Of stone
for this purpose will be new to most people.
It is ne verthelcss fact that the messages
between. Milan and Switzerland, by way OF
SimploI pass, go over telegraph line with
stone ] oles. This line runs along the fine
military road which skirts the west side OF
Lake l1aggiore. The poles are Of gray
granite and average about ten inches square
and twenty-five feet high.
The English traveller who came across this
engine ering curiosity was told by a tele-
graph officer that these poles were in use for
Ia distance of thirty or forty miles, and that
their cost in position was about 10 shillings
each The quarries from which the poles
were cut are situated above the town OF
Stresa. Here and there along the line, how
ev er, is seen wooden pole, and the wooden
|pcde is usually new, while the stone poles
ale invariably old. On seeking for an ex,
PLANTATION of this suggestive fact, the trav
e'er was informed that the renewals are
rlow made in wood, the principal cause Of
dissatisfaction with the stone poles being
that they did not stand well against any
transverse strain due to the pull exerted
when tightening the wires.-Londen An
