ArtesInn weIls of Algeria.

The artesian wells Of Eastern Algc-
ria have reconciled tribes whom mill.
tary terrorism failed to paclfy. The
irst appearance Of the rock drill ma.
chinery merely provoked their banter
but when unfailing fountains of cold
water burst forth and filed TANKS and
refrigeration canals their jibes turned
to silence and finally to grunts of ap-
proval. Now they are besiegng the
tents Of the Government engineers
begging them to try their luck here
and there, and promising their politi.
cal support in case an aquatic treasure
trove should restore the productiyeness
Of their parched-out fields.

Golf Tournament Teas.

AT our golf teas, for instance, every
Saturday men are a very conspicuous
feature. The teas follow the handicap
tournaments of which one Of a series
Is played each week-mens and wom-
ems singles and doubles, and mixed
singles and doubles, the handicaps
being changed after every series as the
players improve or - perhaps - play
worse. A big table is spread under
the awning of the clubhouse veranda,
and although a matron Is responsible
for the entertainment, we girls take
turns in aiding her. On the table Is a
centrepiece of flowers-usually wild
flowers-small dishes of cakes, sand
wiches-the most popular being those
filled with grapefruit marmalade,
which has so entirely cast the good old
orange marmalade into the shade
candies, and tall pitchers of different
cool beverages. The appointments for
making hot tea are at one end Of the
table, but iced tea-into which we put
a little raspberry vinegar to improve
the taste-is much more popular. So
is the mixture Of ginger ale and sarsa-
parllla; lemon and orangeade, with
strawberries and pieces of pineapple
floating on it.--Anna Wentworth, in
the Woman's Home Companion.

Two Notable sleges.

In the old wars the besieged had lit
tie chance for life or honor if they
failed. So they had a stronger motive
for resistance. Let us hope that the
horrors Of Badaioz and Drogheda are
obsolete; though we can never be sure
that the tiger and ape in human ma
ture are conquered. OF all sieges, that
Of Londonderry is the most exciting,
partly, perhaps, because the story is
told by so admirable a narrator as
Macaulay. The siege lasted only half
rs long as that Of little Mafeking, but
The garrison was much larger - 1000
lighting men-and was far worse pro-
yisioned. The melancholy humor of
the situation lay in the fact that an
English provisioning feet was actual
~ in sight and that the boom might
have been forced,as the result showed,
by resolute men at any moment. The
drst ships that tried to pass did pass,
md apparently might have passed
whenever they chose. ] wonder if the
besieged found, like q friend Of mine
IN Ladysmith, that their internal ma
chinery, for lack of practice, could
not for long cope with ordinary food.
There is a true tale of one Of the Lady
smith garrison who came into a large
fortune during the Lacquer; but the
only luxury he could buy with his
new wealth was a pound or two of
panary seed The soldier-servant of
a friend of mine was blown to pieces
early one morning by a shell. He
lived long enough to tell my friend
that he was so glad that he had first
got his breakfast ready.-Andrew
Lang, in Longman's.

A Cream For the oomplexion.

This cold cream is splendid to keep
the complexion in good condition, and
should be we'll rubbed in at night, and
then rubbed still more with a piece of
soft white flannel: Pure white wax,
one-fourth Of an ounce; oil Of sweet
almonds, two and one-half ounces
rosewater, one and one-half ounces.
Put the first three ingredients into an
earthen dish and melt slowly; then add
the rosewater and beat it well with a
silver fork or an egg beater. A pinch
of borax dissolved in the rOsewater is
an improvement. Pour into little Gov
cred ointment pots.

Tins For women travellers.

In starting away it is important to
think of the small things. The big
ones take care of themselves. We sim
ply never forget that nice new dress,
any more than we do that fresh crea-
tion from the milliner. But the paper
or case Of pins, the extra hairpins,
and, indeed, the thousand and one little
nothings that may fairly make or mar
the whole trip; ah! those are the rascal
ly little annoyances which we too Of

plenish our stores we too oftel, find
the resort shop so woefully lacking a

rivals from France have brought home
with them some exquisite examples Of
the new art in silversmithy, and so
wondrously tinted are the metals em-
ployed in the making of the intricate
designs that are the fashion of the day
that the colors and lustre Of precious
stones are not needed to enhance their
beauty. Heads of Roman emperors,
Of Della Robbia saints, Of Grecian god

favorite ornaments for these beautiful

Feminine Taste and skill in Home Plan
ming New Field OF Labor.
In an attractively decorated and
seemingly comfortable suite of rooms
in one of the popular apartment houses
In Buffalo a young woman ruefully
surveyed her possessions that had just
been moved in, says the Buffalo Ex-
press A friend sat near her, and to-
gether they planned the disposal of the
chairs, tables, pictures and bric-a-brac
with which the rooms were Uttered.
The rooms had apparently all the
requisites for comfort There were a
mantel and CRATE, gas and electric light
fixtures, good windows, a closet as
large as are usually allowed in such
houses, a tiled bathroom, with porce-
lain tub and a box of bedroom. A
man, or the uninitiated, would say there
was nothing more that reason could
desire. Not so the women who We're
calculating the possibilities of the
rooms.
"Where will you put the dressing
table so that it will be useful by day
light and gaslght" asked the friend
skilled in arranging furniture. The
possessor of the suite shook her head.
The idea was impossible, for the win
dow was at one end of the room and
the gas jet at the other, on neither side
was there a space between doors or
fireplace large enough for the dressing
table to stand so as to be in a good
light both by day and night.
"It is the way with the majority Of
houses that are built for speculation"
said one of the women. Men design
and plan them without a thought other
than that they may have an attractive
appearance in order to rent quickly. A
woman's first thought would be is
such q room liveableY and liyeable
invariably means convenience and
comfort"
Generally when a woman inspects a
house or a room, she imagines herself
arranging the furniture in the differ
ent rooms and living in them. In fan
cy she locates the dressing table in
the most convenient place for it, if the
window and gas lights are not properly
placed so as to make dressing her hair
a. comfortable process either at morn
ing or night the room is condemned at
once. If there is not sufficient clear
wall space for the bed to stand against
without blocking a door or window or
shutting off a mantel, it is a difficult
matter to reconcile her to it at all.
Houses that have been wholly or
partially planned by women show a
marked improvement over the ordinary
dwelling, particularly in the kitchen,
pantries and other workrooms. No
man can have a practical knowledge
Of the requirements of a well-appoint-
ed kitchen, unless he is a cook or but
Ter.
There are many other points about a
home that, when considered add to its
pleasure and, if neglected, make it a
continual source of annoyance. WOm-
en- ought to know best what those
points are, and for that if no other
reason, it is argued ought to study the
architects profession more generally.
1t would give a new field of labor, and
be useful knowledge, though she used
it only for her own benefit and COM
fort.

for more than six months. During
all this time her parents and friends
had done all in their power to relieve
her from that dreaded disease and
restore her to her former health, but
alas, all was in vain, for our heav-
emily father had called this beautiful
bright young child, just blooming
into womanhood, to his home above.
Miss Sophia E. Bass was born in
Atchison, Kansas, January 1S, 1880,
and came to Des Moines with her
mother when but a mere child,
where she grew up to womanhood,
receiving common school educa.
ton. She entered the West Side
High school, and was in the junior
year of the classic course. Last
summer she took the Latin course at
Drake University. She was kind,
loving girl, of pure character, with
a bright future before her. She was
a member of the A. NJ. E. church,
and Sunday school organist. The
funeral services was conducted by
DR.. F. J. Peterson, assisted by Rev.

remains was laid to rest in Wood

IMPORTANT TO COLORET

After careful consideration and
consultation with prominent colored
people throughout the country it has
baen decided to organize what will
be known as National Negro Busi.
ness League. The need of an or
ganization that will bring the color
ed people who are engaged in busi-
ness together for consultatin, and to
secure information and inspiration
from each other has long been felt.
Out of this National organization, it
is expected, will grow Local Busi-
ness Leagues that will tend to i'm
prove the Negro as a business fac
tor.
Boston has been selected as the
place of meeting because of its his.
toric importance, its cool summe,
climate, and general favorable con,
