Girls STUDYING Farm7nu

The aspiration after physical culture"
is finding outlets in many practical and
useful ways not enumerated among
sports In a single agricultural college
IN the West this year fifty girls have tax
en- up full course of scientific study in
farming, theoretical and practical. Agri-
cultural colleges are increasing RAPIDLY in
the West and South. Girls are now adj
mitted in some Of them on the same con-
ditiOns as boys. They have a dormitorv
of their own, and study three years. part
of the time being spent in actual farm
work on the field. When graduated they
are found skilled in every department of
homework and neeGlework. and in every
line Of dairy work, stOck-rasinc and acri-
culture. It is not surprising that some
wealthy families send their daughters to
these colleges. Where could parents give
their daughters a better physical basis"
than in such an institution? 1t may seem
to some like robust treatment, but it is
safe to say that money spent for physical
culture CT this order will yield better re-
turns in the end than expensive athletic
training belonging to the category of
sports. It would not be surprising if one
of these days the rudy female graduate
from a frst-class agricultural college
should be at premium in the matrimonial
market

A Stroke of Economy

It was George Eliot who, in describing
her mother, said that her capacity for
economy amounted to positive genius.
She could save where other women spent,
and without using up time or strength
In these days of piano lamps and great
ornamental lights of all kinds which
stand around the parlor, the matter of
lamp wick is not small one; many Of
the wicks for the large banquet lamp
cost 10 or 20 cents each, and are so diff
cult to fit into the lamp that the hand of
a professional is required.
\ very clever home-maker has this sug-
gestion to offer with regard to renewing
a wick:
''When a wick is needed" says she,
''do not destroy the old one, but fasten it
to the new wick, which can then be made
to do longer service. Without removing
the wick sew the old one to the new,
with close. firm stitches. and turn I'D as
required. The two wicks will be found
to have formed themselves into one"

THE POK WAH TREE.
1t Grows in Bushnell Park, and China
men Like Its NauseatinE Fruit.


There was an expression of supreme
contentment on the face of the Chinaman
as he sat under a tree in Bushnell park
on Monday afternoon, picking up fruit
that had fallen from it. His loose blouse
and wide pantaloons tapped in the wind,
and his pigtail described circles. triangles,
all manner of lines and various other
geometrical forms as it yielded to the tit
full gusts Of wind. 1t was chilly enough,
and Officer Strickland, as he looked at
the industrious Chinaman did not feel
his heavy blue overcoat a bit uncom-
Portable. But the Chinaman did not seem
to mind the wind in the least. His teeth
might chatter, his nose might take on
biuish tint, and his fingers might suffer
from numbness, but he continued his
work with unremitting industry, and
kept his happy look unclouded by any
thing that was even suggestive of unhap-
piness. 1t was evident that he was en-
gagged in a task that he liked. The fruit
had a very offensive odor, and the China
man handled it in a nauseating manner.
He had a fair-sized basket, into which
he threw the stones of the fruit, leaving
the soft substance which covered it on
the turf. His hands were besmeared
with the substance.
In reply to the questions of Officer
Strickland and Times reporter, the Chi
naman said the tree which yielded the

Spain and the Standards,

1t is not true that the Spaniard is nat
urally cruel. The ferocities of which he
has unquestionably been guilty have
come from his unbusinesslike Incidence.
He lets trouble come from want of pre-
caution in time, and it finds him unpre-
pared. Then he falls into the rage of
the indolent man who is aroused out of
his Incidence, and strikes savageIy. Con-
duct of that kind proves his incapacity
for government, and is seen at its worst
where he has to deal with Creoles. who
repeat his own faults in an exaggerated
form, and with half-breeds. For that
reason, among others, he has lost his
colonial empire 1t would be a mistake
however, to suppose that Spain is de-
caying. The population has nearly, if
not quite. doubled in the present century.
and the country in itself is infinitely BET
ter off than it was 100 years ago. The
loss of Cuba will be no evil for Spain.
but 4 gain, for it will stop a dreadful
drain of life and treasure. When there
is no colonial market to think of. the
immense resources of the country itself
will probably be better worked The
mere mineral wealth of Spain ought to be
enough to make it rich. If it has begun
to understand the consequences of bad
administration, it may we'll be one of
the most prosperous parts of Europe in
another generation.-David Hannay in

The Curse OF Treeless Region.

Amy one who has Travelled through the
comparatively treeless countries around
the Mediterranean, such as Spain, Sicily,
Greece. Northern Africa, and large por-
tons of Italy, must fervently pray that
our own country may be preserved from
so dismal a fate, says President Charles
w Eliot i'll the Atlantic. 1t is not the
loss of the forests only that is to be
dreaded, but the loss of agricultural re-
gions now fertile and populous. which
may be desOlated by the floods that rush
down from bare hills and mountains.
bringing with them vast quantities of
sand and gravel to spread over the low
lands Travelling a few years ago through
Tunisie, [ came suddenly upon a fine
Roman bridge of stone over wide bare
dry river-bed. 1t stood some thirty feet
above the bed of the river, and had once
served the needs of q prosperous pOpula-
ton. Marveling at the height of the
bridge above the ground, | asked the
French station-master if the river ever
rose to the arches which carried the road
way of the bridge. His answer testified
to the flooding capacity of the river and to
the strength of the bridge. He said, 81
have been here four years, and three
times | have seen the river running over
the parapets of that bridge" That coun-
try was once one of the richest granaries
Of the Roman Empire. 1t now yields a
scanty support for sparse and semi-bar-
barOus population. The whole region
round about is treelesS. The care of the
national forests is a provision for future
generations, for the permanence over vast
areas of our country of the great indus
tries of agriculture and mining upon
which the prosperity of the country ulti-
mately depends. a good forest admins
tration would support itself; but it should
be organized in the interests of the whole
country, no matter what it cost.

Queen Victoria's Crown.

When Queen Victoria was to be
crowned 4 new crown was made out of
the remnants Of old ones and set with
rare old gems. Chief among these is the
ruby which blaZes in the center of the
diamond-stUdded maltese cross which sur
mounts the crown That ruby belonged
to an Eastern potentate, and through con-
quest came into the possession Of the
kings of CASTLE. After the battle of
Nagera, where the black prince fought
with Don Pedro, then King of CASTLE,
that monarch gave it to the black prince.
This took place in 1867, and the ruby
has been among the crown jewels of Eng
land ever since

Mrs. Astor's Costly New Trunk.

Mans ingenuity has at last provided
woman with a trunk in which she can pack
and ship her expensive gowns and hats
with the certainty that they will arrive al
their destination without being crumpled
and crushed into shapelessness.
A number have been made for New
York society women, among them Mrs
John Jacob Astor. They are expensive
costing from $50 to 500.
Inside the trunk is a sliding skeleton
frame with cross-bars and hooks. so that
as many as forty gowns may be placed in
much the same manner as in an i'm
proved wardrobe. Each garment is held
securely in place and cannot ''muss up
with any other. The extreme height OF
the trunk makes it unnecessary to fold
skirts, so that they cannot possibly be
creased or wrinkled.
In some trunks there are compartments
for hats as we'll as dresses. One style
even, is made for nothing but headgear
In one of these thirty or more hats anC
bonnets can be slowed away. shipped
across the continent and returned without
a feather injured.
These trunks must either stand on END
or lie fiat downward The sides are
rounded so that if an unkind baggage
smasher tries to put it on it's side it will
by gravity alone roll over to the position
it should have.
