Ireland and Holland Have Most Women
Engaged In This Work.
Though Ireland today holds the first
place, so far as America is concerned, in
regard to linens, Holland occupied that
position everywhere in the past and
holds it today in many parts Of Europe.
The very word Holland is employed to
designate fine linen cloth or linen
and cotton cloth and has been used for
this purpose from time immemorial. It
is 10th glazed and unglazed and used for
wearing and household decoration. Flax
grows we'll In that part Of Europe, and
the sunlight is said to be brighter and
to have more power in bleaching in the
Low Countries than elsewhere The linen
industry is carried on in Holland more
by women than by men. In the fields
there are almost as many female as
male cultiyators In the harvesting
there is On excess Of women.
In the many processes, such as lining,
hacking and spinning, the women out
numbered the men three to one. In the
mills the women are IN the majority.
The men preponderate when it comes to
the making Of damasks and fancy de-
signs. For at least four centuries it has
been an honored custom in the Neither
lands for young women to begin making
their marriage portion in linen when
mere girls Some go so far as to start
with the sowing Of the seed; others be-
gin with the spinning, while those bet

Stanleys Cat.

AS the bonds OF friendship are
strengthened by q heavy afliction so
does q prolonged sojourn in foreign
places, amid strange scenes, turn the
most common Of everyday sights at
home into luzuries. A magazine tells q
story Of Henry NJ. Stanley, who, after
his return from Africa, was busily en-.
gagged in writing his story Of the Ozark
Continent.
He used to spread his reference maps
upon the floor of his room, and on this
particular day, after searching in his
near neighborhood for chart which he
much needed, he spoke to his assistant,
who presently deserted it near the fire.
side, with Stanley's fayorite cat upon it
asleep.
He started to turn the intruder off,
when the great man interrupted him,
saying:
Never mind; don't disturb the cat.
I'll get along without the chart until
the cat wakes up. If you only knew
how good the sight Of that domestic cat
curled up in front Of that bright Eng
lish fire is to me. you would never chase
her away"
The cat slumbered on, and not until
she arose with lazy yawn, scratching
her front nails on the rug as she
stretched, did the famous explorer reach
for his map.

MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION
a Father Who Seeks to Enlighten His
Son on Small Point.

a EGc1er VINO seeks TO EDllGhceD his
Son on Small Point
There is certain man who by she
sweat Of his BROWN summer time
earns his bread as government official,
with an Office in the big state, war and
navy building. He also earns bread for
q wife and three likely children and
servant, who manages to carry slice of

three evenings in the week. But that is
the cooks privilege always
This official has son aged Is, who
is very nearly as sharp as the father
thinks himself to be, especially in those
things that everybody ought to know
and not one person in dozen does know.
About three times week the father
comes to the Office loaded with some
new information which he seeks to i'm
part to his fellow clerks By the induct-

to show how little they know; then he
springs it on them. His strong point is
words and their pronunciation, and he

"Say, pop" he inquired, "how do

the courage Of his convictions, THAT it

THE TERMS ARE GENEROUS.
Such is the Opinion of the English
Press.

l'so.
london. July 30.-Except upon the un-
settled point of the Philippines the main
lines OF the peace terms were already
discounted here. The editorials III the
morning papers today generally regard
them as evidence of 4 desire on the part
of the United States TO treat Spdln gen
crously and To limit, 50 far rs possible
the extension of Americas adminlstrl-
tive responsibilities beyond seas. Inc
napcrs agree that there is no limit III
warfare. Spain is naturally sore. but
they point out she must put up with the
loss Of Porto Rico and. if she is well adj
viSed. she will close with the American
terms.
The Morning Post. however. says:
..Since the United States have decided
TO take Porto Rico there is no need to be
fastidious about Cuba. 1t must be seen
now that the resolution of Congress was
an unnecessary tying Of hands. If it IS
consistent with Justice and morality TO
annex Porto Rico it annot be wicked
or unjust to annex Cuba.
''The spectacle of Il Government, after
n succession Of Victories. spending days
in discussing n reply to 4 request FOR
terms of peace is Il novelty by no means
agreeable. The art of seeing how The
WIND blows Is OF very niue use lOI vi

The paper says:
1--WE are impatient with American
modcsty in believing the task of govern
ing the Philippines too much for the
United States. 1t must be admitted that
q grave danger looms in German am
billions. but no other power will object
to annexation. England has already IN
formed Washington to that effect. and
Europe with the exception of Spain and
Germany. would be relieved if the Uni
ted States decided on direct control of
the Philippines
the Standard advises Spain to accept
the terms and is not surprised that
America does not intend to annex the
Philippines. 1t says:
"If German temper had been officially
manifested. the Philippines would have
been annexed just to show that America
was not to be bnllied. We would be glad
if she did annex them. and in any case.
we DO not believe that she will like the
idea of Spain sending the Cuban army to
the Philippines"
The Daily Mail says:
1--WE cannot believe that President
Mckinley will abandon Aguinaldo and
the insurgents. 1t would be the deepest
