horses than controlled is by any other
outfit in the state, will inaug-
urate ten days and have made
elaborate preparations for handling
their stock expeditiously and entertain
ing the large Influx of buyers and vis-
itors that the sale will attract. Mr..
c. H. Fletcher of Shorebrook, Quebec,
a member of the firm, arrived here on
Monday evening aud will remain until
f., the close of the sale.
The work of rounding up the stock,
and classifying it to meet the demands
of the buyers is being conducted under
the supervision of 7. w. Longley, the
range superintendent and is progress
ing favorably. Nhe recent rains have
come at a most auspicious moment as
the dry range threatened to prove a
set back to the success of the enter
prise, but grass is now coming up and
the stock is all in excellent condition
and will doubtless bring top prices.
The sale will be held at the stock
yards, west of town; the reserve stock
being held in and near the firms new

track. J. S. Cooper of Chicago, who
has handled more horses than any
other individual in the country, has
advertised the sale extensively in the
leading stock papers and speaks of it
as the greatest event of the kind he has
ever participated in.
The matter of providing accomoda-
tions for 200 transients for period of
ten days is an important one and the
fact that the Accommodations of the hotel
fall far short of the requirements has
induced Mr.. Longley to make a special
provisions that will insure all visitors
being we'll cared for. Thornton b
Choisser will institute a camp in the
grove near the ferry and will have
ample Accommodations for 200 guests.
Three large tents and nine smaller ones
cots have been ordered besides round
up beds and a complete kitchen will be
put IN. Mr.. Choisser went to Billings
on Tuesday evening for the purpose of
securing cook and supplies, and the
FUF camp promises to be a big
affair.
| Fletcher Bros. commenced the range
horse business in 1883 by purchasing
high grade fillies in Iowa, and con-
tinued from year to year to increase
their stock of similarly bred mares un-
til 1889. In 1885 they commenced to
purchase the best pure bred and reg
istered Shire stations to be found in
this country and England, and have
since that time kept their range we'll
stocked with this class of Percheron,
Clyde and shire stations, which have
been distributed so as to keep their
breeding as near as possible on the
line between the above mentioned fam
lilies, they believing that the cross bred
Percheron, Clydesdale or shire is the
best draft horse yet discovered.
In 1886 they commenced breeding
from the best types of Cleveland Bay
pure bred and registered stations and
mares, from which they have developed
a liberal supply of this class. From
1886 to 1890 they placed on their range

WOMEN AS COLLEGE DEANS.
Four of Them Occupy Such Positions
in New England Institutions.
From the TRANSCRIPT.

Four of Them Occupy Such Positions
in New England Institutions.
From the Boston Transcript.
The appointments recently of four wo-
men to posts of responsibility as deans in
leading women's colleges pleasant re-
minder of the advance that women are
constantly making in higher educational
service.
Just as the number of women students in
colleges has increased annually, keeping
pace with the decrease of popular disap-
proval. SO the proportion in numbers and
in power of women educators in higher In
stttutions has been steadily moving for
ward. In foreign countries, as in the
United States. teaching was the first pro-
feSsion to admit women. The universities
of Sweden. Italy and Switzerland have en-
ployed women in positions of authority as
instructors. Many professorshps in col
leges and universities of the United States,
representing every phase of scholarship
from ancient languages to modern science
and from literature to engineering, are held
by women. From these positions as van
tage points there is steady advance to-
ward a higher investment of admnistra-
tive power and responsibility for women.
This is largely the outcome, undoubtedly
of the growing conviction that positions of
authority and influence in colleges for wo-
men must be held by college-bred women
of high standing as scholars and of noble
character
Apropos Of this prevailing idea have
come the recent appointments of Miss Alice
Luce, Ph.D., to the deanship at Oberin;
Miss Ellen Pendleton, NJ. A, to that at
Wellesley; Miss Laura Gill, Phi. D., to
Barnard. and Miss Annie Crosby Emery
Phi. D.. to the womef's department Of
Brown University.
1t is fact which may have some inter-
est and significance to New England read
ers that these able women educators are
all of New England birth, and with one
exception have had their academic training
In this section of the country. Each one is
distinguished for something more than cru
dition-the essential qualities Of heart and
soul which constitute the instructor, the
guide. philosopher and friend of her pupils
and the powers of administration which
enable her 20 plan and supervise broad and
responsible enterprises. Only one had pre-
viOusly occupied the post of dean

HABITS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
Heat Waves Due to Stagnation of the
Air.

Heat Waves Due to Staxnation of the
Air.
From the Kansas City Star.
Hot waves are due to the stagnation in
the drift of the areas of high and low bar
ometer which usually move across the con-
tlnent at the rate of about 900 miles a day.
Under ordinary circumstances the low
pressure area is gyrating SO that the warm
air near the earth's surface becomes thor
oughly mixed with the cooler upper at
mosphere. But during the periods of stag
nation this process ceases. The air cur
rents remain near the surface where they
become so heated by the radiation from
the soil that their temperature is almost
uncomfortable
earth in the hottest day of summer. At the
height of ten miles the temperature is I'M
changing throughout the year, and Is today
not less than GO degrees below zero. Four
miles lower the clouds always COM
posed of particles Of Ice, and on the hot
test day If one could be lifted 600 feet
above the earth he would find cool and
pleasant temperature. 1t Is this cool air,
under normal conditions forced earthward
by eddies. which makes the heat of sum
mer endurable. During the last two weeks
the weather map presented almost the
same appearance day after day. In the
northwest and southeast there were areas
of high barometer, or heavy air. Through
out the central part Of the country, from
the southwest to the lakes, extended q
trough of low pressure, where the air was
light. Streams of heavy air were con-
stantly forced out from the high barometric
centers toward this trough in which Kan
sas City was situated. These streams
flowed over the surface of the earth, pro-
ducing a breeze, to be sure, but growing
warmer and warmer from the heat alb
sorbed from the soil. Occasionally an eddy
sent current upward, which was replaced
by cooler air from the upper regions. The
YfojY Yipp Of al nf n of,,ra
duced the thunder showers that brought q
welcome GOODNESS.
The causes of the stagnation in these
great atmospheric eddes are not known.
They are to be found In conditions on the
earth's surface and in the mechanics of the
atmosphere. Hot waves are broken when
the highs and COWS resume their nor
NAL journeys across the continent. For
then their gyrations send cold air from the
upper regions to refresh the surface of the
earth.

From the New York Herald.
In view Of the high temperature in Lon
don a special cable to the Herald states
that the question Of using Ice in private
families is now strongly agitated In the
metropolis, and suggests that there Will be
a demand for American refrigerators.
Another cable gives some interesting rec
ords of the mean and extreme tempera-
lures of Paris as compared with New York
The records show that while New York's ex-
tremes of heat exceed those OF Paris the
mean monthly values do not differ very
widely.
London is subject to visitations Of intense
heat waves On July 49, 1881, the official
maximum record of GIL degrees Fahrenheit
in the shade was made at London. and on
August II, 1884, maximum shade tenn
perature Of 81 degrees was registered.
from 1910 to 1890 the shaded mercury at
Greenwich rose to 80 degrees or above six
teen times. During the July hot wave of
1881, as in not a few like spells in later
years Londoners suffered grievously from
the heat. And. owing to London's insular
climate, it's hot waves are marked by very
great actual humidity.
American ice chests have long since DEM
onstrated in every family their utility in
all >asons. Even in our coldest mid
winter we find the use Of ice economic. as
it preserves all kinds of food and drink in
a pure and sweet condition.

From the Worcester Spy.
Secretary Long Is one of the great men
Of the United States.
Were he gifted with little more of the
art of self f-advertising he would be much
more in the public eye. He is one Of those
men Of perfect self-poise, who accomplish
great things without the flourish of trum-
pets. He is a man in whom Massac chusetts
and the nation can place their confidence
without limit.
Secretary Long stands far ahead Of any
Massachusetts, man to be considered as Of
presidential caliber He made one of the
best governors that ssachusetts ever
had. He made an ideal representative in
Congress He was not afraid to retire to
practice his profession. He Is one Of the
few successful statesmen In Massachusetts
who have been able to make their private
profession successful in spite of their other
Affiliations. John d. Long can translate
Virgil or speak to school children or COM
mand the United States navy with equal
success. The Massachusetts delegation
hoped to make him Vice President at the
last national convention, but the enthu-
siasm over Roosevelt and the desire to
have New York man on the ticket frus-
trated their plan.

the result Of the recent defeat OF the bill

A Contrast in Cleanliness.

From Inc FlttsUur8 UtpdtCn.
A. rather striking contrast is presented
by the care with which the heather, though
partially civilized, japanese provide for
bathing and cleanliness. In the city of
Toxic it is stated there are 500 public baths
at which 100000 people battle daily at a
charge of a cent for adults and a reduced
rate for children.
Compare this heather city with 800 pub
lie baths and 300, 900 clean heathens with
the city of Pittsburg with one public bath
and some 10000 workingmen and boys.
whose main chance Is to dodge the police
and get baths in the not overclean rivers.
Certainly IL cleanliness is next to godli-
ness this city must bank heavily on the
latter quality to make a creditable showing
in comparison with Toxic.

working on 1t for five years. Like all such
inventions, 1t is simple enough when once
the principle is understood. Its advantage
is that it requires no sewing of any kind
and also that it can be taken off, cleaned
and put back again without tearing the
cloth. The little prongs pierce the mate
rial of the uniform, and to these hts the
top. like a glove fastener, which makes
the whole thing perfectly secure. When
It is to be taken off to be cleaned spring
is pressed with the nail and the clasp un-
fnstens without the slightest trouble. When
Mrs. Phelps designed this button she had
in mind particularly the requirements Of

ease, for polishing is factor In military
