ical study, il not in the National. ct
least in the state federati0ns, would
tend to increase interest and enthu-
siaam.
In conclusion may be permitted
to suggest that every state federation.
il not the National Federation itself,
should have committee on course Of
study. 1t should be the duty of this
committee to prepare. or cause to be
prepared, courses of carefully outlined
studies, supplemented with more or
less complete photography. which it
could recommend to the affiliated
clubs. Such courses would tend to
systematize the work, secure better
courses of study and more complete
photography. And travelling library
could thus be selected and made d.
rectly available for many different
clubs. This plan is feasible Within
the past two months the University OF
Nebraska has extended its hands to
WOI0<eu . CluU6 OAluCA UAA6 AA&s3AsC VI ~ -
versity Extension. May we not hope
that in the near future the great body
of club women will do their work so
thoroughly that they may be cble to
extend their hands in return and join
them in a union which shall make it
possible for women's clubs to be at
filiated with university work in such
a way that those who wish may re-
ceive academic credit for work done?
Many who stopped short could thus
work their Masters degree. This is
very easily possible in history and
literature. 1t may seem ideal, but it
is better to aim high than to aim
low.
Speaking of the Biennial Mrs. WEIGH
says in Harper's Bazaar. Amid this
lavish and courteous entertainment
however, the hospitality of the club
women of Idaho Springs must stand
out q bright and shining light. The
Denver women themselves confessed
that the palm must be accorded to
these sisters. BY the courtesy OF the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad, a
trip around the loop" was rendered
to the visitors at the Biennial. This
occupied the whole of Saturday, and
as the fame of Clear Greek Canyon
has spread far over .Ae country, few
club women elected to remain at their
hotels. Fully one thousand women
went up the canyon, starting at nine
o'clock from Denver in two relays OF
three trains each. More than half
way to the Loop is the mining village
of Idaho Springs, and here the club
women of the place, numbering about
forty, were hostesses at luncheon.
Surely never had forty women
greater task under greater limitations
and surely never was a more success
full result achieved. With the great
est apparent ease and with the most
genuine cordiality did these two-score
of hostesses entertain and receive
their guests. The first half of the
visitors which reached the Springs at
almost too early an hour for luncheon
was sent on first for the trip around
the Loop, the rest being stopped at
twelve O'Clock for q two hours rest
and luncheon. The meal was served
in the little opera house at the place
adjoining an open green, where some
of the company lunched.

Her Fur cape's First Outing.

An old lady got on Walnut street
car yesterday morning wearing an old
fashioned astrakhan fur cape with an
immense bearskin collar. Evidently,
the morning being cool, she had hur-
riedly taken it from chest filled with
moth balls, for the odor of them was
almost unbcarable. The car being
crowded, she WAS compelled to stand.
Consequently every time she swaycd
from side to SIDE the tiny glistening
particles of insect destroyer that were
still in the fur would sprinkle every
one near.
Directly Tire car gave particularly
bad lurch, aid something fell from the
cape into the lap Of a lady near by.
That something proved upon close in
spection to be a tiny mouse, not yet
able to look about Following closely
came several more sprawling on the
floor in their blind helplessness. 1t did
not take oyer y half minute for every
woman in that car to grab her skirts
and get on tho seats, the overflow tax
ing refuge Oh the platform.
Meanwhile the innocent cause of all
this trouble calmly unfastened her cape
and shock out the remains of nest.
which had been snugly built by some
motherly mouse in the long fur. The
owner of the cape seated herself as
calmly as you please and the other
women subsidized. -Philadelphia Rec

Trials of Genius.

Tennyson exercised no direct guild
ance over his illustrators and no must
frequently have been astonished at their
Interpretation of his ideas. In the poem
of "The Lady of Shalott, =" for example,
the lady's hair is never mentioned. Ho!-
man Hunt, however, represents her
with flying masses of crimped hair
spreading over her like veil.
"My dear Hunt" said Tennyson
when he first saw this illustration, II
never said that the young woman's hair
was flying all over the shop.
"No," said Hunt "but you never
said it wasn't" And after a time the
poet came to be wholly reconciled to
the design. He never quite forgave the
same artist, however, for giving King
Cophetua a long fight of steps to de-
soend to meet the beggar maid.
81 never said" he complained, "that
there were lot of steps, meant only
one or two"
"Well," retorted Hunt, the fight
of steps doesn't contradict your account.
You merely said, In robe and crown
the king slept down. -
But Tennyson was not to be appeased
and kept on declaring that he meant
only two steps at the outside.

Smoking In New Guinea.

Smoking is common all through the
possession, the natives using the wild
tobacco leaf, but preferably the manu-
featured "trade" article when procur-
able. The pipe, or baubau, is very
different instrument from that in use
among white people and is far more
economical. 1t is usually piece of bam-
boo, from one foot to two feet long and
over an inch in diameter, one end being
partially open, the other closed by be-
ing cut off close to the joint. Near the
closed end is small hole, like the aper-
ture of a flute. Into this the native
places his tobacco, which is rolled up
in the leaf of particular tree-or in
paper if procurable-lights it and draws
at the open end of the pipe until it is
filled with smoke. He takes a few
whiffs, and then the pipe is passed
round TO all who desire it, the smoker
in most cases swallowing the smoke.
In this way little tobacco goes long
way.-Queenslander.

Punished the Rebels.

The National Magazine tells this
story of Queen Wilhelmina: 1.-TWO of
the court children were missing one
day, and grave fears were entertained
as to the probability of their having
been kidnapped. A prolonged and care
full search resulted in finding no traces
of them, and two attendants were ar
rested as suspicious characters. On fur
Their inquiry it was learned that these
two children were last seen playing
with the little queen the previous day.
On questioning her as to their where
abouts, she said they were locked up in
an old cellar that could be reached
from the courtyard. 1t seemed they re-
fused to do her bidding, and so, exer-
oising her prerogative as chief execu-
tive of the kingdom, she had imprison-
ed them for rebellion. "

A Glorious Day

But the vivacity and sprightliness Of
heaven will be beyond all conception
when the final victories come in, when
the church shall be triumphant every
where. Oh, what day in heaven it
will be when the last throne of earthly
oppression has fallen, when the last
chain of serfdom is broken, when the
last wound of earthly pain is healed,
when the last sinner is pardoned, when
the last nation is redeemed! What a
time there will be in heaven You and
1 will be in the procession. You and I
will thrum ii string in that great orches-
ira. That will be the greatest day IN
heaven since the day when the first
block of jasper was put down for the
foundation and the first hinged pearl
swung. If there is difference between
heaven now and heaven as it was, Oh,
the difference between heaven as 1t
shall be and heaven as it is now! Not a
splendor stuck fast, but rolling on and
rolling on, and rolling up and rolling

The Philadelphia Ledger, in reviewing the
coal trade, says The anthracite coal trade
presents no satisfactory change from the con-
dition of dullness which has so long ruled
Demand does not improve, nor docs the trade
seem to expect much substantial improve
ment until the cold weather comes. While
the companies keep up their prices they are
unable to remove the public impression that
these prices are too high, which prevents
dealers ordering more than for actual wants
The operators who have been endeavoring to
get the Navy Department to change the fuel
used on the war ships from bituminous to
anthracite coal were definitely notified last
week of an adverse decision. 1t is evident
that bituminous coal besides being the
cheapest, has the best political pull" at
Washington. The naval consumption Of coal

like these even that amount becomes factor.
The July output is officially reported at
3, 76s, 900 tons being 1853, 900 tons above the
allotment arranged for that month. While
some of the companies want to keep the
August output down to 100000 tons, 1t
looks as if there would be a good deal more
mined to further overstock the market but
the managers are hopeful that better demand

The sutro Estate Endangered.

San Francisco, Aug. 16.,-The Post
says that the 100000 estate of the late
Adolph Sutro is insolvent and that
unless the creditors agree to with
draw their claims for the time being
the estate will be hopelessly swamped.
Much of Sutro's property is mortgaged,
and the interest and other necessary
expenditures are eating the estate up
very rapidly. The executors of the es-
tate have said that if time is given
them every possible demand viii he
met, and that there will be a large
residue for the heirs Attorneys for the
Sutro estate deny that there is another
will, and say that Mrs Kluges' claims
are groundless.
