the course of study; the admission of
two members of the graduating class of
the high school each year to the club as

The Massachusetts, state federation in
providing for its "home talent day." has
evolved three rules: 1. To avoid mental
confusion and to leave clear-cut, def
mite impression, only one subject should
be presented at session, unless the
subjects are very closely allied. 2. Make
sure that the topi: selected is rich in
Interest, vital in its import, and worthy
OF serious study. As Rosetti wrote tc a
poet frieod, "Work your material all you
please, only be sure it is gold and worth
working" 3. Take up the subject from
different points Of view. Usually SUBJ
jecs has several sides-historical, ethi-
cal, social and economical-which
should be developed. in the papers and
discussed.

The Titled Speaker Says No Man
Ever Wished He Was
Woman.

The countess of Warwick recently
delivered an address on Mans OPP
portunity," and this is what she said:
men are not thoroughly convinced of
the desirability of the equality of the
sexes and the emancipation of woman
hood Was there ever a man who
wished he was a woman? Yet, how
gladly would she give everything in the
world to be a man. Men did not half
realize the splendid powers they had.
If they did they would use their votes
to return only those men to parlia-
ment and governing bodies who had
the well-being of the workers at heart.
It was to be regretted that talent and
character often struggled at enormous
odds because there was no money to
develop them. But those two attrl-
butes should be the only test"
The London World, in discussing
Lady Warwick's new topic, says:
LADY Warwick was inclined to over
look the fact that the vast power WELD
ed by her own sex is not the less real
and effective because it is exercised
otherwise than at the polling booths or
in the parliamentary division lobby.
Those, for instance, who have benefited
by Lady Warwick's fruitful efforts for
the welfare of woman workers have
little enough reason to sympathize
with her emphatically expressed wish
that she could change her sex; and al
though she cannot be persuaded that
there ever was man who wished
he was woman, it is certain that there
are few influences in the world that
rival in potency the influence which the
'unemancipated' sex is able to bring to
bear upon most of the affairs of life"

Wonders of the Digger Bee,

DIR. John B. Smith. writing in Pop
ular Science, gives the name of dig
ger bee" to blue-green bee having
a metallic sheen, which may be seen
fitting about sandy places during the
first heats of May. With the aid of
liquid plaster of paris poured into the
holes that it makes in the ground, he
has followed the bee through won
derful course of digging. The work
is all done by females, and it's pri-
mary object is to provide protected
cells in which the young are bred. The
bee makes a tunnel a quarter of an
inch in diameter, which, after start
ing for few inches on slope, runs
straight down into the ground. At
the depth of foot or more, short lat
eral tunnels are driven, and at the
ends of these are formed the breed
ing cells. Having provided for her
young, the bee continues to dig, down
and yet further down, until she La
four feet or even more beneath the
surface, dying from sheer exhaustion
about the time her first progeny be-
gin to make their way to the surface"

HIGH-PRICED VINEYARDS.
Prince Albert of Prussia Buys Land
at $4,000 an Acre-Value of
the Wine.

To the owner of even the most valu-
able landed property on this con tinent,
mining property alone excepted, the
news that Prince Albert of Prussia has
purchased the Wilhelm vineyard at the
rate of $4,000 an acre will have seemed a
gross exaggeration. if not worse, says
the New York Tribune. There is not
anywhere within the United States an
agricultural property for which any
such price would be paid.
Both the johannesburg and the Mar
cobrunn wine lands, in the latter of
which the Wilhelm vineyard lies, are in
the Rheingau-the small district from
which the cream of the famous rhine
wines come. The johannesburg vine
yards are mostly the property of Prince
Metternich, to whose ancestor, the ia
nous diplomat of the congress of vi
emma, they were presented by his i'm
perial master, Francis Joseph of Aus
tria.
To understand the enormous values of
these lands on a basis of simple arith-
metic, it is only necessary to know that
the average production of an acre of
Rheingau vineyard being about 200 gal
Ions. a half stick of Kheingau wine,
of the vintage of 1898, sold for 1880
marks. or about 81 200. 4 half stick
contains 100 gallons, so that the prod
uct in this particular case of less than
one acre for one year brought in IS

The Biloxi Hills Banner Year.

1900 is the banner year ror the sum-
mer resorts of the Black Hills.
The season at Hot Springs opened at
least month earlier than usual. The
hotels were comfortably filled by the
middle of June.
Basing ones estimate on the number
OF inquiries which the Passenger De-
partment of the Burlington Route is re-
ceiying, twice as many people will visit
the Black Hills this summer as in any
previous year.
Two factors have contributed to bring
about this condition of affairs. One is
that the Burlington Route will run
more cheap excursions to the Black
Hills this summer than has beon its GUS
tom in the past.
The other factor is that the Burling-
toms train service to the Hills has re-
Gently been greatly improved. It's fast
express trains for Hot Springs and
Deadwood now carry dining cars as well
as the usual equipment of sleeping and
free reclining chair cars.
During July the Burlington route will
run ten cheap excursions to Hot Springs!
The dates are: July 3-7-8.9.l0-14-l7-
lS-2l.2S.
The rates is one fare, plus $500, for
the round trip. Tickets bear liberal
return limit and the Burlington's Ser
vice to the Black Hills is unrivalled:

Nome and a sailing vessel got within
twenty five miles OF the place and was
then obliged to drift back ahead of the
Ice. The temperature has not fallen
belong 30 degrees above zero and it is
foggy nearly all the time. An inch of
snow fell the other day. This max es

getting rather slow. Nothing in sight
but water and ice. There are about
nine hundred people on board; 30

Unalaska is an Indian village with
population of Eve or six hundred whites
and Indians. 1t has one store, two
