THERE are now SO young women
studying at the college of agriculture,
in Minneapolis. They are entered for
the three-year course in farming and
are to study side by side with the men,
except that, instead of blacksmithing
carpentry and military drill, they will
be taught sewing, laundry work and
cooking. Until now, young women
who desired a course in agriculture
had to solace themselves with such in
struction as they could gain during the
summer months when the men were
away. This year their fortunes have
changed.

HELD BY RIOTERS.
Philippine Province. Reported In /.
Wild State of Advertisement
Towns in Danger.

Manila, Dec. 31.-Riots in the Prov
inces are becoming serious and are in
creasing. Malcontents have already
entered several towns, killing OF taxi
ing prisoners the loyal native authori-
ties. The town of Panique has been.
attacked and taken by 700 malcontents,
who disarmed Aguinaldo's troops. It
is said the dissatisfied Filipinos now
number 5000, and are increasing. The
cause of the riots is the antipathy Of
the Indians to the half castles, who fill
all apartments, abusing their position
by imposing excessive taxation. Work
ing classes complain that they have
paid more taxes in six months to Agui-
naldo's government than in 40 years to,
the Spanish government, and they fear
they will be made slaves by the castles.
Iloilo was occupied quietly by the ma
tives. Their, general handed the keys
of the custom-house to an Englishman
named Fleming, in the absence Of
Americans, appointing him inspector.
The American expedition arrived later.
Aguinaldo sent urgent orders to Ilo;lo
not to hand over the town to the,Amet-
leans, but the natives there are more
reasonable and friendly to the Ameri-
cans. Cable lines to Iloilo are still in-,;
terrupted.
The St. Paul arrived here with 1000.
Christmas boxes, which were all deliv-
cred to the various regiments on Christ
mas day, and gave immense pleasure.
Drinking shops were deserted, and all
enjoyed Christmas Inv home, fashion.
Complete order prevailed. Church SER
vices were held by all the chaplains.

MRS. SARAH JosEPHA HALE, Boston
woman and editor of the first woman's
magazine published in this country,
worked for twenty years to have DE-
1nfte day set apart for Thanksgiving.
Time did not daunt her courage, but
rather increased her insistence. She
wrote to governors Of states and to
presidents of the United States. At
last President Lincoln adopted her sug-
gestion in 1864, when there was reason
to rejoice over the success of the north
in restoring the union.
