MRS. JENNESS MILLER.
Her Lecture at Warner Hall yestcrd.

Her Lecture at Warner Hall Yesterday,
 Yesterday afternoon at Warner hall
 Mrs. Jenness Miller addressed large
 and cultured audience of women on the subject Knowledge Which is
 Power She spoke substantially as follows: Tt is an old saying that knowledge is power" Now I intend to speak of knowledge which is power.
 What we need is the Knowledge that can be utilized in every possible man ner. All Knowledge that is not utilized is dead weight. We should cultivate the knowledge which is in touch with and which is harmonious with the in- tensely practical life in which we live. It is that lack of practicability which is such an injury to us. Many people are so educated as to be perfectly help- less when they are needed in practical way. We should have that knowledge which enables us to keep command of ourselves and of all our faculties, men, tai and physical The study of the body, it's needs and it's development constitutes one of the most important of the needs of humanity. A more truthful saying was never spoken than that "The greatest study of mankind is man." and in this all important study of the care of the body there are several factors which must be most carefully considered. The first is How to eat" This Is the most important of all. The average woman does not know how to cook. l say the average woman. l believe that in the future the indi- vidual family kitchen will be relegated to the spinning wheel, and instead of the ill-fed men, women and children that have to eat anything the criminal ly ignorant servant girl cooks we will have large cooperative kitchens which will feed hundred families or more.

CHEWING COCA LEAVES.
Mysterious Powers Ascribed to the
 Plant by the Indians

Mysterious Powers Ascribed to the | Plant by the Indians
 The Indians regard the coca with ex- | treme reverence. Von Tschudi, the
 Austrian scientist, who made most
 thorough study of the Incas, says:
 During divine worship the priests
 chewed coca leaves, and unless they
 were supplied with them it was be-
 lieved that the favor of the gods could
 not be gained. It was also deemed ne-
 cessary that the supplicator for divine grace should approach the priests with an 'acullico' in his mouth It was be- lieved that any business undertaken without the benediction of coca leaves l could not prosper, and to the shrub it. self worship was rendered During an interval of more than three hundred years Christianity has not been able to subdue this deep rooted idolatry, for everywhere we find traces of belief in the mysterious powers of this plant. The excavators in the mines of Cerro q al Pasco throw chewed coca upon the hard veins of metal, in the belief that it softens the ore and renders it more easy to work. The Indians even at the pres ent time put coca leaves in the mouths or dead persons in order to secure them favorable reception on their entrance into another world and when a Peruvi- an on journey falls in with mummy he, with timid reverence presents to it some coca leaves as his pious offer ing"
 One of the scientific explorers who has been working up in this region told me of his experience with a coca chew er A man was employed by me" he said, lin very laborious digging. Dur Ing the five days and nights he was in my service he never tasted food and took only two hours sleep each night, but at intervals of two hours and half or three hours he repeatedly chewed about half an ounce of coca leaves and kept an 'acullico' continually in his mouth. I was constantly beside him, and therefore had the opportunity of closely observing him. The work for which had engaged him being finished. he accompanied me on a two days journey across the level ground. Though on foot he kept the pace of my mule and halted only for the chaccar (chewing). On leaving me he declared that he would willingly engage himself again for the same amount of work and that he would go through it without food It 1 would but allow him a suffi- c1ent supply of coca. The village priest assured me that this man was sixty two years of age and that he had never known him to be ill in his life '-Sucre (Boliviar) Letter to the Chicago Record.

LARGE SALE OF WINES.
Three Million Gallons of the California
 Product Rushed East.

Three Million Gallons of the California Product Rushed East.
 During the last three weeks there has
 been more activity in the wine business | than for many years, and shippers and cellar men have been working day and l night. The deal that started matters | going was the purchase by the princi- pal dealers of 3,OOO,O0O gallons of mer- chantable wine from the California l Winemakers Corporation. This sale
 grew out of the fact that the corpora ton found it necessary to go out of
 business owing to the refusal of the producers to sign new contracts to sell | wine to the corporation for the next five years
 On top of this deal the announce ment of the Southern Pacific Company that the rate on wines in wood would be advanced from 45 to cents per 100 pounds to principal Eastern points. In order to save this difference in freight Eastern buyers and the merchants of this State became decidedly active, and the result was that in the short space of three weeks there was shipped from
 California the enormous quantity of
 3000,000 gallons, of the juice of the
 grape In other words, about 1000 car
 loads of wine have been sent to the
 thirsty Fasteners in that period The
 best feature of the situation Is the fact
 that this product of the vineyards
 brought good prices and put hundreds
 of thousands of dollars of extra money
 in circulation in this State.
 The wine that was purchased from the
 Winemakers' Corporation went into strong hands, and the consequence is
 that prices are high, and steadily ad- vancing. At the same time the coopers have been and gre enjoying all kinds of prosperity and Wine men are experience ing great difficulty in obtaining neces- sary cooperage. Jobbers say that the outlook for the industry is remarkably encouraging, and that their future prosperity seems assured.-San Fran cisco Call.

BUFFETING THE BAND STAND

(COnt1nueQ rom ElTSC FdSe.) called for. Councilman Walsh didn t want debate cut off.
 Councilmen Maroney, Doohan and others indulged in an argument on par liamentary law, but Chairman Miller decided that MT. Walsh could speak. He favored adopting the committed s recommends ton.
 Councilman Dawson thought that the statement concerning the students should bear no weight. He for one was not afraid of the students.
 Councilman Rice of the First ward thought that the band-stand should be on the lower part of the green as a grand-stand from which to see fire works.
 Councilman Tyner thought that about two band concerts could be given on the state house site before the students became troublesome. It was piece of folly to put the stand on the green, but it's there and something must be done with it. He thought that the members should not act like a lot of boys and make themselves the laughing stock of the city by saying that they had an ele :, phant on their hands and didn't know how to unload it.
 The previous question was called for and it was so voted.
 The amendment offered by MT. Ty ner was passed by vote of 20 to IA, the members voting as follows:

 The report of the special committee on firemen's salaries recommending the adoption of the schedule originally peti- tioned for by the firemen was read, and on motion of Councilman Maroney it was voted to concur with the aldermen in adopting the recommended schedule, the vote being unanimous.
 Petitions for the paving with crushed stone of Foster, Nicoll, Gamer and Me chanic streets were referred to the com- mittee on streets.
 The resolution to pay city street la borers, after January 1 next, $1.75 per day. reported upon favorably by the committee, was taken up for action. Councilman Rice of the Ninth ward moved to table the report for printing. Councilman Keane moved that the reS- olution be adopted, and this course was favored by Councilman Conlin. Coun- ciIman filling thought that if 1t was ta- hled for printing it would come up again in ample time to be acted upon before January 1.
 Councilman Tyner moved to recommit the matter to the committee on ordi- nances. An. aye and nayNvote was call ed for. The motion to recommit was lost and the motion to concur in adopt

A PRISONER OF THE BOERS.

Humorous Camp Scenes Before the Bat
 tie of Elandslaagte
 On Thursday I left Ladysmith for Dundee to join the force under General Symons, hoping to be in time to record the engag cement that was then believed to be imminent.
 I found that a passenger train had just left, but a goods train Of five trucks was on the point of departing, conveying cattle and quantity of stores and equipments consigned to the camp at Dundee.
 Together with a photographic artist, an employe, and the cattle contractor, I decided to proceed by this train. We got through safely as far as Eland- slaagte, but at this point the signal was dead against us. and the driver pulled up.
