may prove helpful to many women the
country over. 1t is written by Mrs NJ.
v. Norys of Westfield. N. j., and it is
called Easy Poultry Keeping For In
yalids." Mrs. Norys tells US that she
herself has had much experience both
in invalidism and poultry keeping and
that the two go well together, and the
experimenter is able often to evolve out
of the inyalidism. Perhaps the hen
cure will be on the list of future spe-

CONNER

One OF those brilliant young southern
women, of whom there are many,
should write the life Of the late Eliza
beth Van Lew of Richmond. Opposed
though she was to the cause of the
Confederacy and bringing to bear all
her force and talent against it during
the civil war, yet quite apart from any
political consideration Elizabeth Van
Lew was one Of the most remarkable
women the south ever produced. The
hidden chambers and passageways in
which In wartime she concealed Union
soldiers, the openly secret hooks and
holes in which womanlike she kept
letters and dispatches from Grant UNI
discovered under the very eyes of Con
federate detectives who watched her
continually, made Of the old Van Lew
mansion a historic castle of romance
and mystery. There alone, ostracized
and disliked, Elizabeth Van Lew lived
more than 35 years, from the close of
the civil war till her death. Hers was
q career fuller of thrilling, dramatic
incident than that of the hero of the
play Secret Service" and in her case
the scenes were real. In the final act
of the great war drama at Richmond
she was more help to Grant than all
the rest of his private agents together,
Mark the sequel: After the war, as in
some measure reward for her inyalu-
able aid, the Richmond postmastership
was given to Elizabeth Van Lew. If
she had been man, there Is nothing
the United States government would
not have done for her. The best of its
consular places, the latest of its APP
pointments at Washington, would have
been open to her, for she had more
nerve and ability than nine-tenths of
its officials. While Grant was presl-
dent she kept her place as postmistress
of Richmond. General Grant never
deserted his friends. But after his
time the office was taken from her to
be bestowed on a white male voter.
Dark days fell upon Miss Van Lew.
Piece by piece she sold the family sill.
yer and rich belongings, acre by acre
she mortga ged and parted with the fair
inheritance her father left her, and not

she starved or fed. She died neglected
and poor. Thus it is to be born a wo-

meet the emergency. A representative
ef the Associated Press was informed
officially that the British minister at

his assistants are still in complete charge
OF the situation, and are relied upon t.
