We hear less about Portugal than
about Spain at any time and of late
have heard less than usual. The
Queen of Portugal is a sovereign de-
serving long mark for her interest
in hospitals and hygiene, and also in
the welfare of the children OF poverty.
At Alcantara she founded, in 1898,
a dispensary peculiarly for meeting
the demands of childish invalids, as
pleasantly situated as possible and
spaciously planned, combining a diet
kitchen, consultation rooms, surgical
halls and much of the departmental
work of hospital. Almost every day
the queen herself goes to the estab-
lishment and takes a personal share in
the labors of the charity-now waiting
In the kitchen distributions, and again
assisting in the surgery. Several
we'll known women of her court are
equally practical. The general charge
OF it is committed to religious order,
a favorlte of the queens, but the emf
nent Portuguese physician, DIR. Silva
Carvalho, heads the staff of medical
workers. In one year, (1S95) there
were given in the building $3.50 con-
situations, 63, 704 rations from the
diet kitchen, 30, 521 bandagings, rs, :
4S0 prescriptions and 470 vaccina-
tlons. The milk and vegetables are
furnished gratis by the queen, and
the medical supplies are also betrayed
by her. Fifteen hundred babies were
treated in one twelvemonth 1t is
said that there is not any royal char
ity of the sort in Europe so efficiently
managed, with the additional active
cooperation of the founder. -Har-

Going to Be Her Pa.

A bright-eyed little girl sat in an
uptown car the other evening. She
was accompanied by young woman,
evidently her mother, and by an ex-
tremely attentive young man.
The car was crowded, and the
young man held the child on his de.
voted knee. She waved her arms
about aimlessly, and as the car
stopped with jerk she knocked the
young mans hat into the lap of a
woman in the seat behind. The WON.
an handed it back.
"Take care, little one," she said
playfully. "You'll spoil papa's hat. s"
The child looked up and answered
in shrill, piercing voice that nobody
in the car could pretend not to hear:
"He amt my papa" she said, "but
he's going to be-"
And only one thing in all the car
was redder than the mothers cheeks,
and that one thing was the back of
the young mans neck.-New York

Brave Girl Saved the Doll,

Among the stories told by certain
aged physicians at reunion of medi-
cal men of the times when surgical
operations were conducted without
an@sthetics none were more touching
than the following:
A little girl, not more than eight
years old, was injured in such way
that it was necessary to amputate one
of her legs. proved to be of won
derful pluck, and instead of binding
her, as was customary in such cases,
she was given her most cherished doll
to hold. Pressing it in her arms, she
submitted to the amputation without
single cry.
When it was done the physician in
charge, seeking to brighten matters
up with pleasantly. said: "And
now, my dear, we will amputate your
dolls leg"
Then the little girl burst into tears.
"No, no." she gasped between her
sobs; "you shall not-it would hurt

Fashions Against Suffrage.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in
speaking to club woman the other
day, expressed herself as entirely out
of sympathy with that kind of femi-
nine taste that induces a woman to go
about with trailing dress and no
pocket She spoke on the matter in
this wise:
"To me one of the saddest sights in
our streets today is an educated
woman wearing trailing dress that is
destitute of pocket. Behold her!
In one hand she carries her umbrella,
fan, cardcase, pocketbook and hand
kerchief; with the other she holds up
her dress if she attempts to prevent it
from trailing in the dust. Thus en-
numbered, her skill in getting in and
out of cars, etc, passes all under
standing. True, she occasionally
falls, twists her ankle or drops all her
possessions, and these the sons of
Adam kindly pick up and restore TO
her."
81 have tried" went on the age
reformer, pathetically, "for fifty years
to bring about the equality of the
male and female of the human family,
but in view of this everyday picture
what can 1 say? I, mother in Israel,

women compared with the Parisians
who set the fashions. All my petit
tions, appeals and protests have thus
far been in vain. Skirts must have
graceful sweep on the ground; they
must be tight to the figure to show the
outline of form. The pocket was
banished from the front that it might
not interfere with the set OF the skirt,
then some one had it sequestered in
the gathers at the back, but now the
edict has gone forth that the skirt
must be tight and smooth all around,
so the deathknell of the pocket is
heard throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
''Suppose some new Beau Brummell
should send forth decree that ones
sire and sons should have fonnce on
their trousers, or their outer garments
should be too tight and smooth topper
nit them to have pocket, think you
they would submit to such folly? Not

might by law cause to appear in our

Women Work While Men Fight.

'Half of the crops raised in Kan
sas are sown and gathered by women, "
said Seymour Davis, one of the lar
gest agriculturists in Southern Kan
sas, in recent conversation. ''This
may seem rather startling state
ment to comprehend at first, but
know it to be absolutely true. Since
the war in the Philippines nearly 1000
more women have begun work in the
fields. Nearly every member of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers was a
farmer, and they left wives, sisters
and sweethearts behind them. These
women resolved at once to do the
proper thing, and they are running
the farms themselves while the boys
are away. It's patriotic thing, but
there are more widows, orphans and
spinsters who run farms than the
other class. Altogether, there are
1000 women in the state who farm. 1
think that is about 90 per cent. of the
farmer population. 1 mean the heads
Of families who reside on farms

"After they were gone the women
went nobly to work. Mrs. Mary Dix
and her two daughters run 250-acre
farm in Wilson county. Father and
son both enlisted. Mrs. Sample, a
widow, whose son is with Colonel
Funston, lives on a small tract of land
in Sumner county and does the work
herself Her crop yield will be ex-
cellent this wear.
81 came to the state in 1876 and
women had already commenced to
farm then. My wife has plowed in
the field many day while was out
hunting after cattle the Indians had
stolen. Many of the frontier women
of the state did likewise. The girls of
this state who work on farms are as
highly educated as those who work in
stores or adorn the drawing room. In
deed, have seen some of the pretti-
est girls in the state on the farms
They wear sunbonnets and do not get
tanned. OF course their hands are a
little coarse, but that only proves that
they are not afraid of work. After
all, the Kansas woman is q heroine. "

"BlLL" WILLIAMS, THE SCOUT.
Pathfinder Fremont Accused Him of Sac.
rificing His Expedition.

The famous scout, ''Bill" Williams,
of Arizona, was Methodist preacher,
and originally went out to the frontier
as a missionary. He travelled extern
sively among the various tribes of In
dians on the plains and in the noun
tains, from the Kiowas and the Kaws
of the Missouri valley to the Apaches
and Moiaves of the Southwest. When
sojourning with any particular tribe
he adopted its customs and manners,
and when he grew tired of them he
would seek others and live as they
lived. In that way he became fami-
liar with nearly every Indian tribe in
the Southwest, and also. ..imbibed many
oStheir notions and superstitions. He
possessed wonderful gift for acquir-
ing languages, and could speak almost
every dialect. He translated the Bible
into several languages, and was very
useful to other missionaries, but he
gradually fell from grace and became
more famous as hunter and trapper
than as missionary. 1t is said that
he was better acquainted with the
topography of the plains and the noun.
.ains than any other man except Jim
Bridger, but General Fremont severe.
ly criticised Bills ability as guide
and accused him of errors that came
very near sacrificing the lives of his
entire expedition.
Nearly every old mountaineer, how
ever, throws the blame on the other
side, and contends that If General Free
mont had taken Bill Williams advice
he would never have run into the death
trap where he lost all of his animals,
instruments, records and several of
his men. They explain that Fremont
insisted upon following the Arkansas
River to its source, although Williams
explained to him that it was imprac.
ticable.
Williams remained with him as a
guide. The party was caught in one
of the most terrible snowstorms that
was ever known. The men were CON-
PEELED to abandon their horses and
mules, which perished, and their in.
struments and all their records, and
Williams then led them back to Taos
nearer dead than alive. This contro.
versy lasted for several generations.
Williams always disclaimed responsi.
bility for the expedition, and threw
the blame upon General Fremont.
The latter, on the other hand, de-
clared that Williams was responsible
for leading the party into such des-
perate situation.
Although Williams lived the greater
part of his life with Indians in their
tepees, adopted their habits and GUS
toms, and practically became one of
them, he was nevertheless victim to
their hatred to the whites and was shot
by an Apache down in Arizona along
some time in the '60s.

BOGUS ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT.
The Alleged Treasures were ~Faked" In
Central ASH

Central Asin-
Orientalists will do we'll to be on
their guard In connection with Central
Asian manuscripts, which have of late
provided them with such an endless
subject of discussion. says the Scots
man. 1t was Capt Bower who first
discovered the existence of some ex-
tremely ancient manuscripts during
his great journey across central ASIA
and DR.. Sven Hedin brought back a
rich collection for the ediflcation and
justification of orientalists. Since
then the supply Of ancient manuscripts
has been very great, but it is stated
that the gravest suspicion is now cast
upon the authenticity of a very large
proportion Of these so-called relics of
antiquity.
An English officer who is now en-
gagged In some exploring work in Cen
trail Asia has discovered that there
exists In Khotan a regular manufac-
tory of the manuscript relics, and SO
large is the output that he believes
that at least 95 per cent Of the manu-
scripts which have reached Europe
from central Asia during recent years
are spurious. The process of manu-
facture has been explained to him, and
30 impressed is he with the difficulty
of distinguishing between the genuine
and the counterfeit that he has him
self adopted a rule of never under any
circumstances buying any ancient book
offered to him for sale. Meanwhile
there Ia much searching of hearts
among the owners Of the manuscripts
which have already found their way

Women as Druggists,

Comparatively few women have thus
far become druggists. 1t certainly
has not been on account of their disa-
bility for such work, for their deftness
and delicacy of touch, and their a
tience and extreme cleanliness, make
them most valuable in the laboratory.
In business the only women who sue
ceed are those who go to their work
with positive conviction that they
have selected wisely and we'll and
whose energies are tireless. 1t is true
they are not often SO we'll paid for the
same work as men, but it is to be
hoped that the world will soon realize
that there is no sex in brains, and,that
Shis error of the present day will soon
be rectified.
The course of study to fit one to
prepare and dispense drugs and to
learn the principles of immediate use
in drug store usually extends over
period of from year and half to two
years; it includes certain amount OF
instruction in Latin, chemistry, bot
any, materia medica, microscopy,
pharmacy, etc. The fees for instruc-
ton at the various colleges of pharm-
acy throughout the country are mod
erate-about $75 term, which covers
all necessary expenses.
The work is eminently suited to a
refined, educated woman, though to
gain admission to any of the colleges
only good general education is neces-
sary. Once qualified as dispenser
there is always employment to be
found. The work is not usually well

ANNAPOLIS CADETS,
Sow on Their Summer Trip In Foreign
Waters.

Now on Their Summer Trip In Foreign
Waters.
One OF the most pleasant things
about being an Annapolis cadet Is the
chance they have of going on summer
cruises. The second class men are now
aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel,
such as was used by our navy before
we had steam warships. These young
men are required to do the work of
common sailors; in fact. they do every
thing there Is to be done on the boat
They started in June, and will return
In September. They stop for a week
or SO at Plymouth, England, and ar
to spend few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how Spain's neigh
bors will receive them. After that they
go to Gibraltar, and then home again.
OF course there is good deal Of fun
to be got out of the trip, and great
deal to see; but 1t is a part Of their
four years course at the naval acad-
emy, and they have to work hard
scrubbing decks and taking in sails,
and the slightest disobedience is pun
ished. Before they left this country
they stopped off Hampton Roads for a
few days and went through a lot Of
drilling, including the "deserting Of the
ship" In this drill the crew puts pro-
visions in the small boats, launch them
and row away toward land, just as they
would have to do If the ship took fire
or were in a sinking condition.
