Colonel Il. M. Orrlly. chief surgeon,
and Lieut.. Weston will start in a day
or two on the hospital steamer Bay
State, from New York for Kingston,
Jamaica, to make thorough investi-
gaticn Ofsthe British method of caring
geon Orrlly Is to be the chief surgeon
at Havana under the temporary occu-
patton.
Upon the completion of the investi-
cation at Kingston, DR.. Orrlly will pro-
coed to Santiago to land some medical
supplies for that department, and
thence repair to Havana, where the
Bay State will remain under DR.. Orrl-
lys orders for permanent duty.
This vessel has been purchased by
the government from the State eof
Massachusetts, and is equipped as a
hospital and relief ship. From her
light draught, only eight feet, she is adj
mirably adapted for service in the shall
low Cuban harbors, and it is the pur-
pose to employ her in distributing med
ical supplies and in transporting sick
soldiers to the large hospitals and
home ports.
The big hospital ship Missouri is now
ready for sea and Surgeon General
Sternberg has given orders for her to
proceed to Savannah to take an addi-
tional quantity of medical supplies on,
and then to go to Havana. She will
remain in Havana harbor as a floating
hospital and depot and supply ship.
She will serve as base Of operations
for the Bay State. The medical de-
partment feels that these two vessels
will be of great value in caring for the
American troops who will garrison

Had Her Eyelids Cut.

From the LONDON NAH.
An odd little story Is told about Nine.
Jane Hading. Her eyes are very remark
able; not only of the clearest and purest
brown, like that of mountain brooks, or
the eyes of Gwendolin-which George Eliot
described as resembling "wave-washed
onyx"-but yelled with thick fringe of
black and silky lashes, most unusually and
extraordinarily long. The story goes that
Mime. Hading owes this marvellous length
of eye to artificial means used by her par
ents in her childhood. 1t Is said that it is a
common custom practiced among the
Turks, who hold long eyes in such exalted
esteem as to iengthen them by cutting the
corners of the eyes. This Is done very
early-at the age of two or three years-the
outer corner being deftly slit with lancet
about the twelfth part of an inch. While
the wound is healing the lids are drawn
outward every day, and when 1t is quite
curved the eye is still submitted to the
drawing process every day for long time,
with the eventual result that it becomes
long and narrow. and satisfies the taste
of the "unspeakable Turk
The story about Nine. Hading proceeds
to declare that her father had been in Tur-
key and had seen this practice, and deter
mined to try it on his little girl, who was
then a pretty baby of three years. with
bright brown eyes and a mop of yellow
curls. Whether the story Is true or not,
one thing Is certain, and that, that the gift
ed actress has the most beautiful and re-
markable eyes Of any woman on the stage.

The Story of a Successful Business
Woman.

From the New York Post.
On a prominent corner in the central part
of the business district there stands sub
stantiaI up-to-date looking building. 1t is
factory for the making of children's and
misses cloaks and suits of good quality,
and there are more than 800 cutters, sewers
and finishers employed. there constantly.
The best retail firms in New York, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities
send buyers to this factory to secure the
seasons complement Of goods for their
respective departments. The proprietor Of

business each year valued at half million
dollars, is wOman-a bright, brisk, alert

her energies to the more important part OF
personally experimenting the cutting and
sewing of the garments. She is. in reality.
at the helm of every part and detail of her
business, but never neglects to spend the
major portion Of each day in the great
work room, where the folded layers of ex-
pensive cloths are being cut into sleeves,
side forms, collars and the like, and where
the stitchers, liners and trimmers may
refer to her for guidance at any moment.

CORNELL's ROWING POLICY.

Yale to Be Dropped and Efforts De-
voted to the Proposed Association.
1t is highly probable that the University
OF Wisconsin will be asked to send crew
east to compete in the regatta which Cor
nell is now endeavoring to arrange.
Captain Colson Of Cornell has thus far
received but one acknowledgment of re-
ceipt Of his letter to the colleges regard
ing general rowing association, and this
was from Captain Goodrich of Harvard.
1t was stated that thfs letter contained
no statement which gave Harvard's opin-
ion on the formation of the rowing ASSOC
citation mentioned By Cornell.
The council, whiehR has now given up all
intentions of further negotiations with
Yale for the present season, gives no Gre
dence to the reportythat Harvard intends
Ing the race off between Cornell and Yale.
Little Is now said regarding the matter,
and failure to bring about successful
negotiations is attributed to nothing more
than the difference In the athletic policies
OF the two universities.
A man who Is high in Harvard boating
circles when questioned as to whether he
thought Harvard would consent to enter
the American Henley" which Cornell pro-
poses, said:
II don't think Harvard will enter any
such scheme. Experience with such ar
rangements in the past has been that they
are always unwieldy and lead to trouble.
Our athletic policy at present favors fight
Ing shy of any such ENHANCEMENT. and
see no reason for making any change In
this instance. For my part should not
favor 1t. In straight out-and-out agree
nent with Cornell we should know Just
where we were and could make our plans
accordingly and favor completing such an
agreement as soon as possible
From the general sentiment at Harvard 1t
would appear that Harvard win refuse the
American Herley scheme and will endeavor
to arrange date for the race with Cornell
Should any hitch occur in this. Harvard
will enter into an agreement with Yale In

klOndike Chickens.

G. O. Brown in the Baltimore Sun.
An instance is known to the writer where
a farmers son paid s. for one setting of
ems, and took them all to a poultry show in
Massachusetts, and the man he purchased
the eggs from bought them all from the
boy for s. each, giving him S45 for the
nine. Had the boy brought dollar" eggs
he would have had merely the dollar kind.
A good way to build up a flock of pure
breds is to make two matings of them.
Give a male bird, which may be designated
as number one, hens or pulletsand another
male also an allotment of hens, which
should be designated number two. Mark
the chicks from each mating and keep q
record, SO no mistake will be made i'm
recognizing the two lots of chicks. When
they in turn are old enough to breed from,
mate the male birds from No. 1 with the
female birds from No. and vice versa
This plan will prevent any too close in
breeding, and will at the same time enable
one to breed for any definite purpose,
which the introduction of new blood Of
ten quite destroys OF counteracts. Select
the finest of each brood and retain for
breeders each season. Stock given proper
treatment for few generations and care
Improvement.
Pure bred poultry should be on every
farm; they require less food. on an aver
age, than scrub poultry, and, as before
stated, the scrub stock cannot compete
with them in quantity of eggs or meat. If
they are. however. given scrub treatment
they will yield only scrub results.
