WOMAN'S WORLD.
SOME WoMEN's POT BOILERS.

Unusual Occupations Which Mean a Good
Living, and Sometimes Fortune.
A former society woman Of New
York City whose fortune is now gone
finds in house decorating a means of
support. She takes orders for interior
decorations, including walls, wood
work and furnishings. She not only
makes the purchases, but super
intends the workmen. Her friends,
admiring the taste shown in the fur
nishing of her own home, suggested
that she give the world the benefit of
her talent.
In Western city a large home
delicacy association, which supplies
tearooms, clubs and railway cafes, is
controlled by a woman. 1t began in
a small way, the originator being
asked to bake things for a luncheon
room. Her first contribution was
gingerbread. This was homemade
gingerbread, and evoked enthusiasm.
Then there was a demand for cakes,
rolls, salads, pickles and jellies. The
demand continued, and the associa-
tion was the outcome of her expert
ment.
One woman who on account of poor
health was obliged to give up teach
ing bought up lot of bog and mash
land in little New Jersey town, and
fencing it with wire started frog
farm, sending the legs to the market.
She found frog crop easy to raise,
and it is said that she has made from
$4,000 to $4,000 year out of this un-
usual enterprise.
A young French woman whose
home was the Joy and envy of her
friends was asked one day by one Of
them if she would out of pity arrange
the petitioners home, for in spite of
many pretty and costly things it had
"that stiff look" The success she
made in the rearranging of her friend s
home was so great that the question
was suggested "why not make some
pin money by putting homes in
order?" So she advertised to do
dusting and artistic arranging "by
the hour" Her first customers were
SO we'll pleased that they recommended
her toi their friends, and now she
has more than she can do.
A Southern girl has found unique
way of earning her living and is, in
deed, making fortune. She raises
hooking birds and sells and rents
them. She gets the birds when they
are fedglings- sometimes from the
nest just before they have to fly or
when in attempting to fly they fall
helpless to the ground and are res,
cued; or, sometimes, when they break
wing, which does not hinder their
singing and makes them content in q
cage. This young woman will never
sell her birds to Northerner, for
she knows they will die when brought
to the North. and she loves them toe
we'll for that. She rents them to visi
tors at the hotels and cottages who &C
to the South for the winter.

Susan b. Anthony Abroad.

Two little stories are told about that
stanchest exponent of democratic and
republican institutions, Susan B. An
thony. On one occasion she actually
undertook to introduce one of the
greatest lords in the kingdom to two
poor little girl employees on a London
paper, and, as if this were not suf-
ficiently heinous, she told him frankly
that she had forgotten his name. He
did not tell it to her, and if Gibson
could have caught the expression Of
his lordship's face he might have pro-
duced his masterpiece.
At another time she was invited to a
swell luncheon to meet the Princess
Christian, the Queens daughter. AT
ter shaking hands with her and talk
ing few minutes Miss Anthony sat
down. Presently some one came and
told her she must not sit while royalty
was standing. Some of her friends
say that her eighty years and the
fatigue from the strain of the past
weeks justified her in sitting. Others
say that she could have stood up two
hours if she had had suffrage speech
to make, but that the awful breach Of
etiquette was due to that spirit of her
Quaker ancestors which made them
face death rather than take off their
hat to king. Miss Anthony herself
only laughs and "refuses to be inter.
viewed. ."-Washington Post.

Has Lived Under Four Flags.

On July "a the Daughters of the
Republic of Texas observed in quiet
way the eightieth birthday of Mrs.
Anson Jones, widow of the last Presi-
dent of the Republic of Texas. Mrs.
Jones lives in st. Louis with her son,
DR.. @. e. Jones, and in spite of her
eighty years is hale and hearty, taking
much interest in the Daughters of the
Republic-of which she is one of the
mothers-and in her church.
Mrs. Jones has lived under four
flags, few who can say that being in
the land of the living. She was born
under the Stars and Stripes, came to
live under the Snake and Cactus of
Mexico, saw the rise and the honor
able retirement of the Lone Star of
Texas, witnessed the rise and the fall
of the Stars and Bars, and is again
under the Stars and Stripes, happy
and contented in her old age.-St.
Louis Requisite.

The supper and bazaar given by
the young people of the Extra Cath
Ole church, on Thanksgiving Day,
proved to be a good success despite
the fact that the first snow storm of
the season prevailed nearly all day
and kept many OF the country peo-
pie at home. The X. P. Opera House
was very lastly decorated and
filled with merry throng, as many
as it could hold, and the society
realized one hundred and one doll
ars as result of the supper and the
sale of commodities in the different
booths, which will be used to
furnish the rectory for Father

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Years Constant Use
Without A Failure,

The first Indication ofcroup is hoarse-
ness, and in child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is peculiar rough
cough. If Chamberlains Cough Rem
edv is given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the at
tack. 1t is used in many thousands of
homes in this broad land and never
disappoints the anxious mothers. We
have yet to learn of single instance
in which it has not proved ettectual.
No other preparation can show such a
record twenty-five years constant use

First Of the Season,

This has been the most backward season
for many years, farmers say, on account of
the late frosts. Most of the fresh fruits and
new vegetables shown in the Philadelphia
markets come from the South or are of
hothouse growth.
Asparagus of the first quality brings IS
cents a bunch; smaller size brings 80
Genes.
Strawberries cost IS cent and 81 a box.
They look we'll, but have little of the true
berry taste,
Rhubarb is thin and watery, 1t sells at 10
and l5 cents bunch of four stalks.
New string beans are SO rare as to be
priced at 30 cents quarter peck-careful
measuring at that.
The best new potatoes, those free from
that "soapy" taste, bring so and go cents
quarter.
White radishes are poor as yet. Really
good ones sell at 10 cents bunch.
New peas in crisp, green pods, brought
from goodness knows where. sell for so and
go cents a quarter peck.
There is great scarcity of good, sound
tomatoes, fine ones bring 80 cents box of
six or seven.
New beets cost Is and 20 cents the bunch.
Good lettuce is scarce, and readily sells at
20 cents head.

"CoTToN raising and cotton spinning
are basic industries in the United
States, When the cotton planters get
fair prices for raw cotton ard the spin
ners get fair wages for their labor there
is reason for rejoicing on both sides of
Mason and Dixon's line. The recent
voluntary 1G per cent. increase in the
wages of all the New England cotton
mills is one of the most convincing of
the many auspicious proofs of indus
trial prosperity. The inherent advan'
tages of the United States as the seat
of the manufacturing cotton trade of
the world remain practically undevel-
oped. As the country shall acquire a
foothold in foreign markets this is one
of the industries in which we may rea-
sonably hope to take the lead of all
competitors"
The above is from the editorial col
ums of that excellent Democratic daily,
the Philadelphia Record. It is but one
of the hundreds of notices to be found
in newspapers which give the news of
an increase of wages, but not one of
our peninsula exchanges which grieved
(?) so regularly and persistently over
reductions under Cleveland, have heard
of these items of good news. They
mean not only more money to the
wage Garner direct but better prices for
all farm produce. Is not that true and
being true worthy of place in all
newspapers?
