THE women OF the country will be
vastly interested in the July Cosmo.
potiton because it has five articles that
will especially appeal to them aside
from its other high-grade features.
Charlotte Perkins Stetson, than whom
the sex has no stronger nor more in
teliectual champion, answers Professor
Peck's argument made in the June
number, and trenchantly proclaims the
right OF woman to certain economic
place. Charlotte Whitney Eastman,
in the prize paper of the second class in
The Cosmopolitan series on "The Ideal
and Practical Organization ola Home, -
tells how comfort and happiness may
be attained on the seemingly meager
salary of two dollars and half day.
In antithesis to these serious subjects,
Frances DE Forest discusses chattily
some American girls who have married
Continental noblemen. This article is
illustrated by large number of very
beautiful portraits. Then comes Mrs.
Laura b. Starts article on "Tea-
Drinking in many Lands" telling the
strange customs, ceremonials and APP
pliances used in preparing and drink
ing this universal beverage. Lastly,
some very striking types of Samoan
Seauty is exhibited by VIM. Churchill.

ONE of the most spirited bits of de-
scriptive writing that has appeared
for some time is the account of "Law.
toms Advance on San Isidro," by
William Dinwiddie, which together
with photographs illustrating the life
of the troops on the march occupies a
prominent position in the current num-
Der of Harper's Weekly. Mr.. Din
widdie is already well-known as the
author of the best book yet published
on Puerto Rico, and his work in the
Philippines is characterized by the
same qualities which made his earlier
papers so popular vividness, a
thorough and comprehensive know
ledge of his subject, and the ability to
make the reader absolutely familiar
with the topography of the country
over which he has gone.

Printers Burden.

Take up the printers burden;
You hardy sons Of toll,
Who owe him on Subscription,
For burning midnight oil.
Remember how he waited
When times were hard as rocks,
While Bryan talked free silver,
Jerry Simpson wore no socks.
Take up the printers burden
He knows not selfish greed;
In every blessed issue
He works for things you need;
The towns prosperity he shows
Your farm land Is the best
These things he tells the people
In North, South, East and West.
Take up the printers burden,
And pay the debt you owe,
And when your mortal remnant
Has left this world below,
Your friends can read your title
To mansions in the skies
The printer knows tits charity
To whitewash all your lies.
Take up the printers burden,
And ma Ike things what they seem,
When Oft in silence sleeping
The people-in their dream,
Pay cash for every item,
Subscriptions in advance,
And he goes to church on Sunday
With patches on his pants.
Take up the printers burden,
All who are in arrears,
His generation yet unborn
Will bless you all the years,
Times are now growing better
Since Mckinley won the day,
And you ought tc pay the printer
Cause the devil wants his pay.

THIS is what Wharton Baker, the

Henderson, in his paper, the Phita-
delohio American:-
"Thus have Cannon and Hopkins,
Sherman and Pardee, stood to one side,
leaving to the old veteran of the Re-
bellion, who has the knack of making
friends of all, enemies of none, clear
field for the speakership with none to
dispute with him the prize. And so
Gen. Henderson. colonel by right, gen.
eral by courtesy, Scotchman by birth,

thought, stands picked out in advance
for speaker for the house, for that place
within the gift of the American people
second only In power to that of the

Great Loss by Lightning.

Des Moines. Iowa, July 10.-Direc-
tor Sage of the Iowa weather and crop
service has issued bulletin showing
the los SEES fir m lightning resulting in
the state during May The showing
is an appalling one, and since the com.
piling of this class of statistics was
commenced has 10 equal. The report
says
Reports received from observers and
agents of insurance companies show
that the month of May, 1899, was no.
table for an unusual number of thun.
der storms of wide extent and great
destructive force There have been
received at the central station l2s
reports of losses by lightning in this
state during that month. and of that
number % occurred on the 14th in
twelve different counties; IL Oh the
18th in nine counties, and 81 on the
9th in fourteen different counties.
The electric energy appears to have
oCCh WlcCly uihuSCu do well dS lIl-
tense and destructive in its effect.
AS usual the losses of live stock on
the farms. greatly exceed the dam
age to other classes of property. The
reports for May record the loss of 179
head of cattle and horses. OF that
number 13l were in close contact with
wire fences. That is to say, 70 per
cent. or about three-fOurths of the
fatal strokes occurred while the ami
mails were in contact with the wires,
and in all these cases the reports
show that the ground wires were not
used. These are astounding figures,
and comment thereon appears to be
unnecessary.
We have reports of twenty-eight
barns and thirteen houses struck by
lightning during May. Of the barns
eight were burned with their contents,
inficting a total loss of 1855. The
aggregate of loss was small In the
twenty cases where the barns were not
burned. Of the houses reported struck
only one was consumed and the loss
was 81 ,075.
