WOMEN AS LAWYERS.
Scotland Now Following the Ex-
ample Other Countries Have Set
in Recognizing Them

Since charming Sally Brass directed
her brothers fourishing attorneys
business in Bevis Marks City, women
lawyers have played but small part
in British fiction and have played no
part at all in real life. But apparently
that is to be changed at last. The now
els OF the present century should por-
tray many feminine lawyer, and
there will be no anomaly about it, for
up in the north a courageous Scottish
lady seems to be on the point of fore
ing the closed door and thus opening
up a new profession for her sex.
This year, indeed, may witness the
triumph of Miss Margaret HOWE, of
Strang hall, kim, says the London
Mail. Her petition for admittance to
the law agents examination has been
liled and the Incorporated society does
not feel called upon to oppose her
prayer; in fact, they "do not con-
ceive it to be their interest or duty
TO maintain that woman ought not
20 be enrolled" Miss Howie's fate is.
therefore, in the hands of the Judiciary,
who will soon decide whether she shall
be the first woman ever admitted to
practice in Scotland, England or Ire
land. If the decision is favorable Miss
liowie as q law agent would be eligible
for the offices of sheriff substitute.
notary public and clerk in the court
of sessions and bill chamber.
Though England, Scotland and Ire
land have SO far been without women
lawyers, the Incorporated Society of
Law Agents point out that so far as
they are aware permission to practice
has never been sought. On the other
hand, it has been successfully sought
in the United States and France. Wom-
en- lawyers are becoming as popular
and as numerous in the United States
as women physicians, and they appear
to play the role of Portia with great
success.
In France the admission of wcmen
to the bar required the passing of a
special enactment, and it was only on
December 4, after strenuous strug-
gle, that the bill became the law of
the land. Next day the first woman
barrister was formally admitted in the
t'Shooii VI VhulS. ISOlG. VINO, TOOeu IN

fore crowds of legal sightseers, among
whom was numbered her husband. who

Nine. Petit is already SO full of work
that sharp-witted criminal whose
victims were anxious to bring him to
an early trial, which he was equally
anxious to avoid, is said to have used
her position for the purpose of tempo
rarily defeating justice. He appeared
before the court undefended, and when
asked to name his advocate named
Nine. Petit, whose assistance was
practically impossible for long time
4 come. As his right to name his own
lawyer appears to be undoubted, the
man for the moment escapes trial.
Fifteen days after Nine. Petit's tri-
umph an unmarried lady, Mdlle. Chau-
vim, was admitted. For three years
she had increasingly battled for the
right to earn her living as an adyo-
cate, taking no fewer than five degrees
IN 10 years. Her example will doubt
less inspire Miss HOWE, of Kirn.

1t is claimed that the United States
produces about four-tifths of the corn
crop in the world. or in 1900 1t produced
2, los, 1O2,516 bushels out of the total
in the entire corn growing countries,
which was only 2,631 1878, 145 bushels.
If there Is any underestimate in the
amount it is more likely TO be In the
United States, where also more corn is
consumed in feeding to animals than
In the other countries. and where the
census enumerator says that the re-
ports of the amounts grown and used
upon the farms will scarcely account
for the meats that are reported and
sold. Austria Hungary reports only
142, 100000 bushels and Mexico but
111,704,03S bushels, while the seven
other countries reporting vary from So,-
OOO,OOO down to 20,000,OOO bushels,
and only aggregate 292, O0O,0 900 bushels.
All of them do not produce as much
corn as the States of Illinois and Iowa.
Austria Hungary, though second in the
list Of the producing countries, pro-
duced less in 1900 than the State of In
diana, and Russia less than Michigan.
And the capabilities of these States
have not been reached yet, but we can
add another billion or two of bushels

to have the animals look plump and
sleek they give more than can be well
digested. and sometimes defeat their
own intentions by causing such indiges-
ton that the horse grows lean, il he is
not wise enough to refuse to eat all
that is placed before him. Nor are the
owners always guiltless in this matter.
Farmers especially are apt to feed too
much hay to the horse, giving thirty to
forty pounds in twenty-four hours,
when from twelve to twenty pounds Is
enough for horses of almost any weight
when there is enough of grain given,
And many will not reduce either hay OF
grain rations when there is a week or
two of idleness. This is mistake. but
not as bad as that of largely Increasing
the grain feed when there is an extra
amount of work to be done, or a long
drive to be made. The veterinary sur
geons say that most OF the cases they
are called upon to prescribe for are the
results of overlooking, or feeding after
hard work.-American Cultivator.

NO REAL INDIANS in CUBA.
But a Race Hitherton Unknown Ha.
Recently Been Discoyered.

But q Race HithertOn Unknown Has
Recently Been Uncovered.
Stewart Culin, curator of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Museum of Art
and Science, returned recently from a
trip to Cuba. where he Investigated re-
ports Of the existence OF savage In
dams in the interior of the island.
Although there are no wild red men
there Mr.. Culin found several bands of
so.called Indians who intermarry only
among themselves, possess Indian char
acteristics, straight black hair, copper
colored skin and high cheek bones, but
have no tribal organization. They have
few customs which differ from those of
rural Cuba generally and retain little
more of their own language than is the
common property OF the natives.
Concerning the so-called Indians in
Cuba representing the aborigines, Gu
ratOr Culin said: "rhere has been an
importation Of Indians into Cuba from
Yucatan by way OF San Domingo since
the middle of the Inst century, which
complexities the question of the survi-
val of the aboriginal inhabitants of
Cuba. From the evidence procured
In Barracoa there is little doubt that
the Indian settlement at Yara dates
back to the period of the Spanish con-
quest. The native houses are of Indian
design and many of the prevailing Gus.
toms are Of Indian origin. Man, In the
rural districts of the island, has sim.
ply reverted to state which with re.
cent wars Is unhappily not far removed
from savagery. AT the same time the
cordial hospitality of the people, their
Eaycty and lively interest and curiosity
do much To compensate for the wretch.
e,lness OF living"
Visiting the interior of the island, the
curator said he saw the so-called In.
dian Almarrnres who says he is 112
years old. He has few Indian charac.
teristics and no special traditions. The
Indians of Yateras. said the curator,
differ from the Cuban country folks
generally only in physical appearance,
although they are said to be lazier, a
trait which is not attributed to the ru.
raj inhabitants.
( In other expeditions Mr.. Culin pro.
cured some Indian skulls in caves and
also obtained fragments Of pottery, an
art now lost to the so-called Indians.-

Wolsey's Casks OF cold.

1t has been suggested that 1t was in a
vault at Hampton Court Palace that
the incident occurred which opened
Henry's eyes TO the wealth acquired by
his favorlte cardinal.
rs the story gees, the kings fool was
paying visit to the cardinals fool.
and the iocose couple went down into
the wine vaults. For fun one of them
stuck dagger or some other pointed
instrument into the top Of cask, and
to his surprise touched something that
clinked like metal. The nleddlesome
pair upon this set to work and pushed
off the head of the cask, discovering
that 1t was full of gold pieces. Other
casks by their sounds gave indications
that they held gold, and not wine. The
kings fool stored up his secret, and one
day, when Henry VIII. was Boosting
about his wine, the fool said, satiri-
cally:
"You have not such wine, sire, as nv
lord cardinal, for lie hath casks in his
cellar worth a thousand broad pieces
each" And then he told what he had
detected. Whether this be true or not
1t is certain that Wolsey was SO far
awake to the fact that he was SO sus-
pected by the monarch. as to deem 1t
prudent to present him with Hampton
Court.
