A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of a most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Deliaedtor, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
new century, The Delineator offers to distri.
butte Sl7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleyery arranged that woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as
woman living in cty-because the prizes
are given for tho number Of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
lation OF that town, instead Of being given
simply to those who send tho largest list of
ubseribers-which, of course, are most easily
obtained in bis cities. Another clever feature
of the plan is thai MI the cities and towns of
the United States ana Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Class /,
and as these cities are not very many the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high
est prize being $500, and tho lowest $500.
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is 5 1000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number of towns in class increases. be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to a class increases, So that in Glass 7,
there will be $4,000 distributed among COL
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
habitants of the town from which the con-
testsnt sends them.
This is altogether n very liberal offer, and
one which the famous od Deliaeator is well
able to make good. From our point of view,
we do not see why snch an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Deit'4eator, for
We believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers It's strong hold upon the affec.
tons of American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters.

sparkling Atmosphere of Picking.

4 German diplomat Is responsible
for the epigram: you approach
Picking in tears but you leave it weep
ing" The reason for this appears
to be the pure atmosphere. The
quality of the air is described as one
continual exhilaration; 'in winter,
dry and sparkling, the very cham
payne of atmospheric yintages in
spring and autumn. delicious blend

braces the nerves like tonic. They
admit, however, that summer is hot

ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
Hindoo Legend Which Pays n Rare
Compliment to the FEM
inine Sex.

In oriental countries women are
generally regarded as the interiors of
men, yet, according to Hindoo le-
gend, this is the proper origin of the
sex: Twashtri, the god Vulcan OF the
Hindoo mythology. created the world
But on his commencing to create
woman he discovered that with man
he had exhausted all his creative ma
terials and that not one solid element
had been left. This, Of course, greatlv
perplexed Twashtri, and caused him
10 fall in profound meditation. When
he arose from it he proceeded as fol-
lows: He to5n the roundness of the
moon, the undulating curves of the
serpent, the graceful twist of the
creeping plant, the light shivering OF
the grass blade and the slenderness of
the willow, the yelyety softness of the
flowers, the ightness of the feather,
the gentle gaze OF the doe, the fro,ic-
someness of the dancing sunbeam, the
tears of the cloud the Inconsistency Of
the wind, the timidness of the hare
and the vanity OF the peacock. the
hardness of the diamond. the sweet.
ness of honey, the cruelty Of the IT,
ger, the heat of the fire and the chill
of the snow. the cackling of the par
rot and the cooling of the turtledove.
All these he mixed together and
formed woman. Then he presented
her TO the man.

England is the greatest manufac-
turing country in Europe, and is
frequently disturbed by labor trou-
bles. The government, though lib
eral for a monarchy, is very strong
when it becomes necessary to dis
play strength. Besides; the labor
ing class has little if any voice in
the government, which, when the
necessity arises can repress any
amount of turbulence without po-
litical complication. England has
fostered manufactures and neglec-
ted the interests of agriculture un-
til farming throughout Great Brit.
ain is not only seriously depressed,
but even if fostered at this late
dateit would be unable to feed more
than a small per cent of the inhab-
itants. AS a result, the position of
Great Britain in case of war with a
maritime nation, is precarious.
Even her great navy could not suf-
fee to save her from a fate that is
fearful to contemplate. During
our civil war, when her supply of
cotton was cut off, thousands were
subjected to miseues amounting
almost to famine. If such was the
result of a suspension of the cotton
trade, what would be the result if
that nation should go to war with
some other capable of shutting of
her food supplies? To do this would
not require a great navy. A few
swift armed vessels could so terror
ize the seas that a result but little
less disastrous than a blockade Of
her ports would result. No natior
in Europe would be in condition tt
supply her necessities, for the sur
plus from these sources would bt
both slim and precarious. Ameri
ca, therefore, must be depended
upon by England for her dali,
brea j; for food for her laborinl
thousands. Is it any wonder tina
England should seek an allianc
with this country? And yet, evel
with these facts before her she wi
quibble and by her diplomatic Graf
try to overreach in every ground
less controversy that may arise
Great Britain would consider a
previous trouble as trides light a
air, compared with a contest tha
would close her ports to America

Has Lost its Cone.

This fiery crater, now suddenly
silent, was explored by scientific
men who discovered that the cone
had disappeared. Several theories
are propounded as to why the erup-
tion ceased, also regarding the dis
appearance of the cone. The gen
eral belief is that it was due to sub
sidence, and which is looked upon as
providential. 1t was as unexpected
as are the stomach disorders with
which people suddenly find them
selves afflicted. Slight symptoms
are neglected, until dyspepsia is
chronic. The remedy to take is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
valuable medicine is, uuequalled in
all cases of indigestion, constipa-
ton, biliousness, or malaria, fever
and ague. 1t brings about healthy
condition of the bowels, and i'm
proves the appetite. Be sure to
give it a trial.

DIDN'T ENJOY THE SERMON.

A funny thing happened to a
young lady of this town. She was
atte nding church Sunday evening,
and sitting just in front of heI, she
saw tall, handsomely-dressed
stranger with a piece of white lint
or rayeling, hanging over his coat
collar. Being a young lady OF ac-
comodating disposition-one OF the
warm.hearted, whole-souled girls
who grow to be motherly old ladies,
a friend to everybody in town-she
thought how glad she would be II
some kiud-hearted girl would do as
much for her father if he would
come to church with raVeling
hanging down his back. Besides
the thing worried her and ruined
the otherwise immaculate appear
ance presented by the broad neck
and well-built shoulders of the
stranger, so as the congregation
arose for prayer she decided to pick
it off.
Carefully raising her hand she
gave it a little twitch, but there
was more of it than she supposed,
and foot or more of the thread
appeared. Setting her teeth she
gave another long pull and about
yard more of the thread hung
down his back. This was getting
embarrassing, but with grim de-
termination to do or die she gave an.
other yank and discovered that she
was unraveling his undershirt. It
is needless to say that her embar
rassment was then so painful that
chloroform could not have alleviat
ed her suffering nor pint OF pow
der hidden her bushes when the
| gentleman turned with an inquir
ing look to see what was tickling
his back. k.-Ex.
