heavy silken cord that is generally used
with which to string them, appears to he the
only thing that will give them the supple
ness which adds so much to their charm;
and it is only when this cord is new that
it is equal to the not inconsiderable weight
of the pearls. AS soon as, in places, 1T
begins to fray, it is only a question OF time
before one of these weak spots viii break
and let fall a shower of the precious stones.
Since the very strong strings have been
worn this accident has not been an unfre-
quent occurrence In bathrooms, and last
winter a tremendous commotion was caused
In the hallway of the New York opera
house, simply by the breaking Of one of
these silken cords.
AS a precaution and to keep them from
swinging, many women when dancing
fasten their pearls to the front Of their
bodices with a brooch, or If the string is
long enough they wind them about their
wrists. 1t Is a most reckless habit to
nervousIy twirl them about the fingers and
to make a plaything of them, for it must
necessarily hasten the fraying of the cord.
The cost of having a string of perhaps
fifty pearls restrung at a reliable house
is about rs cents or 81, and surely consid-
ering the comfort 1t brings the money is
well expended.

ARE WOMEN TO WEAR WIGS.
Fashions Latest Decree from Paris
nused by badness.

Fabn1Ons LATEST decree from pHr1S
Caused by Inc
1t is with pain and dismay that we learn
Srom an alleged scientific commen on the
course of the fashions that we are approach
ing an era of feminine wigs, excIaims the
P%ittsburg Dispatch. The assertion Is packed
by a report of wigs worn by the smart
women OF Paris, but the explanation OF the
coming misfortune in the line OF ~coiffures
credits lit to a more obvious relation cd
cause and effect than can be generally dis
covered in feminine fashions.
The explanation Is briefly that in the past
fashions crimping Irons and c~urling-tongs
to produce wavy and romantic locks dam
aged the Vitality of the hair. Then the
~pompadour roll strained 1T back until
nature proceeded to revenge herself by pro.
ducing mice little bare spots on the heads Of
fashionable women. After which, wher
the coming fashionable effect requires more
hair than the feminine head is able to fur
nish, recourse must be had to the hair Of
commerce to supply the lack.
If fashion calls for wigs, wigs will be
worn. We can set that down as settled by
the testimony of the centuries as to femI.
nine fidelity to the fashions. Nevertheless
we would urge upon the better half o
society to take this scientific fashionable
prediction In the light of a warning rather
than a chart. Dear women, preserve youl
hair. II you must wear wigs, you will
still be the mistress of masculine affections

WIFE OF DOM PAUL.

Worth S25, 900, 900; She Does
the Cooking and Makes the Beds.
Mrs. Kruger, wife of the president of the
Transvaal republic, is unhandsome, reports
the Philadelphia Press.
She is also economical, though her IA
nous husband has a capital Of $25, oO0, 900.
She Is so rich that 1t would take the
greatest effort to spend their income, in
vested, as ths capital Is, in great paying in
terests. To do this she would have to live
in almost barbaric splendor, but, bless you,
she even does her own cooking.
It Is probable that her acute, subtle hus-
band approves of her style OF living.
II he objects no one returning from that
tar land has ever heard OF it. 1t is more
than probable that by just such thrifty
methods Mr.. Kruger himself rose into his
present eminence.
But think of It!
The income of s25, OO0. 900 and to do ones
own cooking!
To fuss and fume and fret and stew over
a boiling stove in a hot, hot land rather
than spend the money on a maid! And not
only to cook, for 1t is whispered-and loudly
in tourist and English circles In Africa
that she very often takes a hand In the
washing and that she scrubs and rolls the
clothes with the skill and strength of the

She also insists upon making her own

genius and knowledge in the inventor-bring
in only small returns, Others, seemingly
trivial, make the inventor rich. The woman
who invented satchel-bottomed paper bags,
for instance, was offered $40, 1000 for the pat
ent before she left Washington. A simple
glove buttoner is yielding the woman in
ventor $4,000 a year. A patented adjustable
waist supporter has made the inventor indie
pendent. A device for opening letters has
proved exceedingly profitable, and the young
woman from Georgia who invented a con-
%venlent travelling bag has made money
enough to set herself up in business.
The northwest, the middle and eastern
states have produced the most active women
inventors. The south is behind in this re-
gard, although the few women from that
section who have made inventions have been
successful. Their inventions are usually in
very practical lines. An Alabama woman
farmer has invented two important aids to
agriculture. A North Carolina working
woman has had success with a culinary in
%vention, and a Florida woman has patented
a useful car+heating appurtenance, while a
Texas woman has patented a novel folding
tent, and another southern woman a finger
exercising device of value to musicians. A
unique method of desulphurizing ores Is the
invention of a California woman, and an
OIner western woman mas patented several
inventions relating to irrigation.
1t is noticeable that the women inventors
registered from the larger cities of the
country have almost Invariably patented
articles pertaining to the elegancies of
dress and household furnishing, while in
ventive faculty in the country districts and
villages has been directed to conveniences
and labor-saving devices in similar lines.
Women from the big cities have invented
unique dress-drafting patterns, novel ways
for adjusting portieres and curtains and pat
ents relating ITO the various fields of art
and the manufacture Of artistic goods. City
women have also devised and secured pat
ents on numerous articles for clerical use,
safety envelopes, improved typewriting ap-
p%liances, copyholders, etc, as well as con-
veniences for the artist and musician.
A number of women school teachers are
successful inventors and have patented
more or less valuable educational methods
and devices; also kindergarten devices and
articles of school room furniture, desks,
book rests, blackboard erasers, school bags,
ETC.. Women from the small towns in Wis

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
Wide Range of Useful Patents Secured
by Them.


Up to ten years ago women had contrib
uted but slightly to the sum total Of inven-
lions recorded at Washington. A woman's
name did not appear in the list Of patents
granted more than three or four times a
year. Today there Is scarcely a page OF the
official list of patents which does not record
some woman's success In this line of effort.
In addition to those on record, says the New
York Post, there are each year an increasing
number OF successful women inventors whose
inventions are not patented in their own
names, but bought outright by manufactur-
ing and business firms. who themselves Sc
cure the patent. New toys, games, puzzles.
articles classified as novelties, medical appli-
ances and dress and household facilities are
some of the popular inventions bought up
by business firms, the inventors being glad
to dispose OF their rights for a fair sum.
1t sometimes happens that a woman en-
| ploye of a manufacturing or mercantile house
invents some improvements on the machinery
and methods in use by the firm. She shows
the model or drawing to the manager, who
| makes the firm acquainted with its merits,
| and they arrange with the inventor for the
| exclusive use of the improvement. The in
| ventor goes on quietly with her everyday
work in the bill, and the public never hears
Of her achievement; but. encouraged by that
success, she continues her experiments and
keeps on the lookout for further invention.
A woman clerk in a New York store in
vented lately a parcel-delivery system, which
netted her substantial returns. One New
England mill owner. herself an inventor. en-
joys the right to several patents that repre-
sent the ingenuity OF the women operators
in her employ. She shares profits with the
inventors. n one Of the devices, first used
in this mill. brings in over 2 1000 a year.
Men acquainted with the field say that
fully 100 of the patents taken out by women
within the last five years are yielding I'M
usually large returns to the inventors, and
that others not yet put on the market are
destined TO be equally successful. A law of
contrariety seems to govern the chances in
the matter Notwithstanding, for while many

consin, Minnesota, Dakota and Illinois have
been prolific in inventions relating to the
household arts, washing and cleaning appa-
ratus, facilities for sanitation, garment
bindings, protectors, shields, Wristbands,
supporters, fastenings, etc. They have in
vented butterworkers, plumbing appliances,
dish washers, brushes for cleaning uphol-
stery, and compositions for kindling fires
and scores Of articles calculated to tighten
the burden of the housekeeper in kitchen
and pantry. New England women have in
vented many e~onveniences for factory use,
and a number of practical attachments and
improvements that have to do with har-
nesses and vehicles and the various needs
of the barn and garden.
