In the United States there are only
some 1920 women altogether engaged in
agricultural pursuits. OF these 325 own
greenhouses, and 1,541 are employed on
seed farms. OF the remainder, the ma
jority are employed as servants in farm
houses. Only a small minority. working
as field hands on the southern plantations
are actually farm laborers.

In this stlll new country of ours there
is a steadily growing field in this direc-

beginning to realize. The requirement Of
an occupation for women that furnishes a
cure for nerves is surely a thing for

full, and which the wage Garner, aspiring
for a broader, fuller and freer life, would

week, will be one of the strongest in the
volunteer service. The roster contains
the names of seventy-siX young men who
desire to enlist. In the election of Off

S. e. Warick first lieutenant, and James
B. Vickers second lieutenant. Military
enthusiasm is at high tide, and the friend

great. The two will have an enlistment
of 1876 men.

cd. During the ten years of existence this
company has paid stockholders more than
500 900 in dividends an amount just equal
to its capital stock.
Americas is going to make determin-

Brunswick and Birmingham Railway

liens will go 10 the general meeting to
be held in Brunswick this week, and will
offer every inducement to secure the line.
Americas is on an air line between the

The Seaboards pay-traiu arrived here
last night and the $40 employees in the shops

might be, for, while the force is seeming

work until late at night in order to keep
business moving. and 1t seems absolutely
necessary to retain the entire force here.

In the dispatches of the Morning News
on Saturday last there was a brief ac-
count of the Confederate veterans camp
of New York which occurred on Friday
night. The following is a brief account
of two of the speeches:

He said in part: We meet here tonight

But there is no sentinel of protection sta

Bishop Dudley reminded his hearers
that Lee was at one time the command

New York, Jan. 1S.-The gay, piquant
French demoiselle, with her dainty :riiis
and furbelows, her fuzzy hair and saucy,
tip-tilted nose, is by no means the mere
butterfly that our sober transatlantic
imagination is apt to picture her.
To most of US Paris is France, and the
merry grisette and the model Of the Latin
quarter, the most familiar types of the
Partisan workingwoman. The little ouv-
riere, with her coquettish short skirt and
her gay little bodices with its elbow
sleeves, singing over her work in tiny
cage of room high above the roofs of
Paris, is a Partisan vignette that stands
out clearly in our minds, redolent we
fondly imagine, of the true atmosphere of
the Quarter Latin.
Surprising it is, therefore, TO learn that
