An Old Australian Born Woman Dead.
 One of the oldest Australian born members of the fair sex died the other day in Sydney at the age of 92. She was born in Sydney in 1907, and in 1923 was married. at the age of 16, to a leading colonist. She has left behind her F children. 72 grandchildren, 146 great at-grandchildrsh, and 10 great great-grandchildren making total of 240 souls. She was the daughter of one of the first twins born in the colony. which makes her one of the second generation, while her descendants go down to the sixth generation Of Aus tralian-bo The old lady had good memory, and was able to tell many stories of olden time in Sydney, for when she was born the present streets of Sydney were but tracks, and the suburbs wild bush, while the back country, where now there are great cities and towns and all the develop ments of civilization, was terra in- cognita to the white man. The colony was only nineteen years old when the deceased lady first saw the light.

The Commerce of ti,e Philippines.

Products take care of themselves. Climate and soil and a mild pressure of commercial exchanges have deter mined that the Philippines should con- tribute to the worlds trade few lead ing commodities. The most important is hemp, a natural monopoly: for though many species of this plant are found in the tropics, none produces the same or as good fiber as is obtained in the Philippines. More than that, at tempts to raise this particular variety elsewhere have failed. The value of the exports of hemp in 1897 was $S,50o,- GOO. and a nearly equal value of sugar was also exported f$7,o00.0o01. these two commodities making nearly Fl per cent of the value of the total exports.

Good Advice to n Girl.

To the girl who has asked what |
think "a nice way for woman to earn
a living" writes Margaret Hannis in
the st. Louis Republic, l would say:
The incest and best way of all is the
work you know how to do most perfectly.
If you are thinking Of fitting yourself for
some wage-earning occupation, be sure
first that you make no mistake in select
ing your vocation.
For example, don't think you can paint
great pictures because you can design
pretty dresses. Better be successful
dressmaker than dismal failure as an
artist. And be very certain of this: The
world is not half as foolish as you give
it credit for being. You are very apt to
be accepted as "somebody'-by people
whose regard is worth the having-if you
do something, in whatever line, credit
ably. And. beside this. the only certain
road to that worthy independence you
crave lies through the doing we'll the
work you undertake..

TROIKA DRIVING IN RUSSIA.

troika is a superb affair. 1t makes the
tiny sledScs which take the place Of cabs,
and are used for all ordinary purposes,
look even more like toys than usual. But
the sledges arc great fun, and so cheap
that 1t is an eXtravagance to walk. \
course costs only 20 koprcks-10 cents.
The sledges are set so low that YOU can
reach out and touch the snow with your
hand, and they arc SO small that the
horse is in Your lap and the coac,non ip
your pocket. He simply turns in his seat
to hook the fur robe to the back of your

you fall clear to the ground.
