Cost of Collegiate Rowing.

The annual cost of big university
crew under present training methods
is from $4,000 to $4,000. This does
not include the amount spent from
time to time for improvements and
new equipment. 1t cost $4,000 to put
Cornell crews on the water last year,
and nearly as much will be spent this
season. The principal expense is the
salaries of the professional head coach
and the expert boat builder. These
two items alone cannot cost less than
$1,000. A steam launch is kept in COM
mission for three months every year at
a cost of $500. The training table costs
the navy management $1,000, although
the men pay part of their board. Then
there is the final expense Of 81 400 for
race week. rhis includes transporta-
ton to the point Of meeting for men,
shells and launch and their sustenance
while there.-Frank Leslie's Popular

New York,s PIE Market.

More pies are made in New York
than in any other city in the world.
The daily output of the regular pie
factories is in excess of 125,000. The
pie baking record was held by Boston
until two years ago. The pie habit is
growing on New Workers.
The biggest pie factory in the coun-
try turns out 10000 pies day. There
are scores of smaller factories which
turn them out by the carload daily.
The work is under the direction Of an
expert baker, who receives large sal
airy. These factories claim to use the
very best materials in making pies.
Until recently there was prejudice
against factory pies, but this is disap-
pearing.
The most popular pie is that made of
apples. For years it's popularity has
not been shaken. The standard pies
next to apple are lemon and custard.
Pumpkin pies are in great demand in
the fall and mince pies in the winter.
Peach pies are the most popular after
these. Until the factory made pie APP
peared New York was several times
threatened with serious pie famines.

American Telephones Abroad.

An American house, one of the lar
gest manufacturers of telephones and
supplies in the world recently received
an extensive order for telephones and
switchboards to be used in the new
telephone system of London. The or
der, which is said to amount to nearly
$1,000,000, was received from the Brit
ish government through the company's
London house. The company's New
York manager says:
"The orders thus far received are
merely advance orders. We expect
larger ones. 1t was reported that our
contract amounted to $5,000,000. That
was an eNaggeration, but it is quite
within the bounds of possibility that
the orders will soon grow to that pro-
portion.
II don't believe any English firms
complained because we received or
ders, for there is no house in England
able to ill such an extensive contract
for telephones and switchboards. 1t
will largely depend on the government
whether the telephone ever becomes as
popular in London as it is here.
"There are 10000 telephones in New
York, While in London there are less
than 10000. That is due to the poor
service as compared with ours. Lon

rrnulein Stole at Buffalo.

1t is matter of recent congratula-
ton among the Germans of Boston
that the works of Albrecht Durer are
to be shown daily ut the Pan-American
exposition by their gifted countrywo-
man. Fraulein Antonio Stole. The
other day the directors of the Nurem-
berg concession met in a body and
saw for themselves the beautiful re-
productions of the great masters
works as thrown upon screen by
Fraulein Stole and voted unanimously
that Nuremberg would never be Nu-
remberg to a true German and to all
lovers of art without the works Of
Durer. They desire to make these pic
lures an educational feature. Fraulein
Stole therefore was at once granted
a suit of rooms in the five cOrnered
tower, and every afternoon from to
6 in the Frauen tower the works of
Durer and views of the city of Nurem-
berg will be thrown upon the screen.
! The Photographic slides We're colored
directly from Durers pictures. Dur
ing these hours there will be given one
of Fraulein Stolle's inimitable art
talks, and again in the evening, from
to 8, she will show the masterpieces
Of the art galleries of Europe.
Fraulcin Stole of Boston is known in
all art and educational circles and in
deed throughout the United States by
her many lecturing tours, giving illus
trated lectures before schools and wo-
mems clubs. In her home at 416 MARI
boro street she has carefully stored
! away on shelves thousands of photo
graphic slides representing almost all
parts of the world and their art treas
ures. The fraulein is a genius in her
line, and visitors to the exposition will
have a rare treat.-Woman's Journal.

making her the only woman thus hon
ored, has drawn attention to the fact
that a clique of women in English high
society has appropriated the name of
the order to themselves. The Social
Order of the Garter is one of the smart
est secret societies existing in smart
Belgravlan society today.
Only unmarried women can become
members, but those of them wko mar
ny may remain members. There are
president, a secretary and a recorder,
who has the custody of beautiful
book bound in the antique style in red
yellum. with brass. On it's white pages
1t is her duty to write such doings of
the members as seem worthy of record.
AT least three peeresses and eight
daughters of peers are enrolled, and,
though it is difficult to estimate the
number of members, the names on the
book certainly exceed 80.
The insignia is gold garter repre-
senting a serpent biting its own tail.
But this garter is occasionally Worn
as bracelet. for it is flexible, being
made of hammered gold, which can be
contracted till it can be worn on the
wrist When so worn, it is a sign that
! the member wishes to communicate
with other members, and consequently
a girl at a large party will be led to
address another she does not know
because of this sign of their treema-
sorry No member receives a list OF
! fellow members, so she only knows
those who are personal friends.

eral meeting. The objects are to in

CHOICE MISCELLANY
A Queer London Organization.

There was a peculiar and significant
conference the other afternoon at st.
Georges hall. Westminster Bridge
road, conference of husbands met to-
gether for the purpose of devising some
method of protecting men afflicted with
drunken wives.
The outcome was the formation of Il
protection society for such unfortunate
husbands.
The seriousness Of the subject in
vo1ved was duly emphasized by the
promoter of the meeting, whose sad ex-
perience had been, he informed the
conference, that during his "a years of
married life he had been compelled to
buy his home back from the pawnbro-
kers four times over owing to the in
temperate habits of his wife.
Many thousands of husbands, he add
ed, were in a state of abject slavery.
Home after home had been rendered
miserable by the overindulgence of
women in alcoholic liquors.
1t was urged that while the wife had
redress against the husband the latter
had no remedy against the wife, who
could pledge his furniture or break up
his home at will. Having formed
themselves into a protection society,
the husbands passed a resolution in
favor of amending the bishop of Win
chester's bill so as to reach drunken
wives. This will be forwarded to the
prime minister, the home secretary, the
bishop of Winchester and various men,

Worlds Largest Moose Head.

The American museum at New York
has just received and will soon put on
exhibition after being mounted what
is thought to be the largest moose head
in the world. The antlers Of this great
fallen monarch have the enormous
spread of IA inches, more than enough
to take in the figure of an average size
man.
This head is the result Of natural
list expedition sent out by the museum
which traversed Alaska and the arctic
regions for the purpose of obtaining
specimens of fast disappearing big
game.
This monster in life is said to have
stood some % hands high, larger than
an ordinary horse, and weighed in the
neighborhood of 1000 pounds. The
average moose weighs from 800 to 900
pounds, and the antlers measure only
40 to so inches across.

Countess Won walder.ee.

The Woman's Home Companion con-
tains an article by Mabel Percy Has
kell of how the daughter of a New
York grocer, by her good sense and
tact, has risen to almost a royal posi-
ton in the German empire:
'There are many American women
who have become nobieWomen, but
there is only one who has ever become
aunt to an empress. the Countess Won
Waldersee. and she not only holds that
exalted position. but is also distin-
guished as being the only American
woman who ever became princess
in her own right quite aside from any
title acquired by marriage. The
countess is really the Princess de Noer.
this title having been conferred upon
her by the emperor of Austria many
years ago.
"Few people in this country know the
romantic and remarkable life story of
this American princess. who has never
returned to her native land since she
left it 40 years ago, then young girl in
the glory of her beauty and first youth.
She has been so closely associated with
the exclusive life of the high nobility
of Berlin that Americans travelling or
at home could not know of the Amer-
can woman who is acknowledged to be
| almost a power behind the German
| throne.
"This remarkable woman, although
the daughter Of New York grocer,
married successfully royal persorage
and scion Of one of the most ex :lu-
sive families of the proud German no.
bility. She frankly used her influence
to bring about the marriage Of the
present German emperor and her niece
and has proved herself to be most re,
markable matchmaker. Her husband
holds one of the highest positions at
court because of her influence, and he
was sent to China at her request. Thus
she is really one of the most brilliant
and interesting women of the century,
but the fact that she lives in Germany
makes it impossible for the English
speaking world to have a true knowl-
edge Of her power and achievements,
| for, although woman's influence may
be very great and farreaching in Ger
many. her personality is always hid
den, the new woman and 'women's
rights being utterly unknown quanti-
ties in the kaiser's domain"
