Women In Uncle SAM. Service.

women are eligible for appointment
to many branches Of the government
service upon precisely the same condi-
tons as men," writes Barton Cheyney
Of Positions Under Uncle Sam" in
Ladies' Home Journal. 1.-THE ques-
ton Of sex does not enter into the mat
ter when there are vacant positions
which are open to women. At the pres
ent time there are one-sixth as many
women as men in the service. The
prejudice that formerly existed against
the appointment of women is disap-
pcaring, and in 1898 Of 41S persons APP
pointed to positions in the departments
at Washington 100 were females. In
addition to clerical capacities women
are appointed assistant microscopes,
nurses, translators, teachers, matrons,
telegraph operators, stenographers and
typewriters, as we'll as to places re-
quiring skilled and unskilled workers.
AS assistant microscopes they have
the first chance of selection, there be-
ing always demand for capable wo-
men in this line"

MISS ADELE cLEMMoNs.

York. Most of the famous beauties
of London competed with her, but it
was the almost unanimous opinion Of
those present that Miss Clemmons was
easily first.
She is tall and stately and has mag
niflcent figure, which is superbly de-
veloped. Her hair is golden brown
and SO voluminous that it reaches to
her heels when it is undone. She has
large, liquid, hazel eyes, which are
shaded by long lashes. Her beauty is
of true English type in it's freshness
and wholesomeness, but she has a
grace which is rarely seen.
Miss Clemmons is Of good family,
but she is obtaining tremendous posi-
ton in society owing to the fame Of
her beauty. Duchesses fight for the
honor Of having her at their dinners,
balls and other entertainments. Young
men of the highest society in London
nowadays frankly admit that they pre-
fer drinking, gambling, billiards or
anything under the sun to putting in
an appearance at parties, and SO on.
1t needs a very unusual attraction to
bring them o private houses. London
hosts cheerfully pay $4,000 for an OPP
cratic singer to entertain their guests,
but the professional beauty, Miss Glen
mons, is now the best card.-New York

Pretty For the Bed.

The old Marseilles quilt, which hae
held undisputed sway, has now new
rival in the satin embroidered spreads.
These show satin finished face, with
heavily raised border that sprays in
floral effects closely resem bling hand
embroidery, in heavy raised satin
stitch. You may pay for them any
thing from $3.50 all the way up to sos.
but after you have reached the $40
mark they e exquisitely embroidered
by hand. This class of goods is import
ed from England, the embroidery being
done by the country women adjacent
to towns where the goods are manufac-
tured. You find them in white, pink,
blue and yellow and other light shades.

RAIN.
Like pillows Of inyerted sens

Like pillows OF inverted seas
The gray cold clouds hang low,
The writing boughs of trees wind dashed
Toss madly to and fro;
The drip and beat OF sullen rain
In Rhythmic cadence fall
On mist blurred pane and lichened roof,
While loud the wild winds call.
The drip and beat of falling rain
The hoarse winds moaning call
They come to me like voices sweet
That pain and unrest thrall.
Altar the brown fields seem to lie
Beneath the tempest's beat,
With patience mute that knows tits this
Will make their blooming sweet.
Afar the hills against the sky
misty, dark wall rum
Their rain fringed crests seem reaching up
To find the hidden sun.
And faith and hope within my heart
Look up as do the hills
To find their sun beyond the storm
That all the present fills.
What though my fields seem waste and bare
What though my skies seem drear-
Ny heart has planted precious seed
In those fields brown and sere,
And trusting God, who knoweth all,
patient bear the beat
OF presents storm that he hath sent
To wake their blooming sweet.

The phrase "tillage is manure" may
be classed as one of the "half truths"
From recent experiments it appears
that the reason tillage seems to be
manure is that it enables the plant to
utilize completely the fertility that is
in the SOIL particularly potash and
phosphoric acid, but if this process is
carried on Indefinitely without applica-
ton of any kind of manure it will rem
der the land hopelessly barren.

A prominent Denison democrat said
to us Monday, II think the REVIEW
had the best of the Bulletin through
out the campaign. We democrats
hoped the Bulletin would try to answer
the REVIEWS questions, and at any
rae could not see how the Bulletin
had the face to ask you a list of ques.
lions until it had answered yours"
The same democrat acknowledged that
Blume was poor man for the legis-
lature, but thought that the weight of
party majority would pull him through.

ELKHART. Nov. ia portly,

been telling the Elkhart dairymen
how to gel rich quickly, and tells
them ii l. the secret OF the Chicago
milkman's afiluence. He says he
has a trade secret that will allow the
nlilkman to produce good milk
at cost not to exceed , cents
gallon. As the lacteal food retails
here for 20 cents, it is not surprising
that the tempter found several dai-
rvmen who were anxious to discov-
er the means Of turning an honest
penny.
One OF them says he was asked to
furnish a pint oil milk (the real
thing, quart of water, and two
empty goblets. The tempter then
poured out glassful OF the pure
milk and emptied the remainder of
of the pint into the vessel contain
ing the quart of water. Then he
produced from his valise bottle oi
what he said was rice milk, whi'e,
paste-like substance. Two tea
spoonfuls Of this paste was put in
the diluted milk. The mixture was
stirred vigorously and a glassful
, poured into another vessel.
The miIkman was asked to turn
; his back 80 that the two glasses,
one Of pure milk and the other OF
! the decoction, could be shifted, and
/ then he was invited to pick out the
I glass # pure milk. He says he
was unable to detect any difference
in appearance or taste. He decid-
I ei. however, not to invest, and al
: ter the Chicagoan left placed both
!, glasses in a cool place. The next
: morning the pure milk had q top OF
2 cream, while the Chicago article
was devoid OF crust.
