WHY WOMEN DON'T GET RICH.
Mrs Hetty Green Speaks OF soD~ OF
Their Dih1cuftiax


sr~ Hstty Green Speaks OF soD~ OF
Their Difficulties.
Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman
| iii the world, has been venturing into.
| the domain of literature and appropri-
ately chooses as her theme the sub
Ject with which she is most intimately
associated-the accumulation of money
by women Nearly every woman wants
to be rich, she says. but she has vague
ideas of how she should go about MAX
ing money. She reads in some news
paper about some woman who has been
successful In stock operations, and the
frst spare cash she gets she invests
In stock with some curbstone broker.
Ninety-nine times out of every 100 she
loses her savings. Then she's discour-
aged and believes that it is not possi-
BILE for women to make money She
resigns herself to keeping house for
the rest of her life and her career as
capitalist is ended This woman
went about her task in the wrong way
and so does nearly every other woman
who starts out to become rich. Those
men who say that not one woman in
ten has the money-making instinct are
very nearly right. Women like to
spend money, but they don't know how
to make 1t. II they could become rich
In day, or month, all would try, but
they can never make up their minds
to work years to accumulate fortune,
as men do. Women would much rath-
er spend than earn. And because
women spend so much. they are hardly
ever In the field for investing when
the chance comes along. No person
can invest unless he has the where
withal. Most great fortunes have been
started by men who saved and saved
and finally mad a few hundred or
few thousand dollars to invest when
ever the opportunity should come
There are many women who earn good
salaries and who might lay by few
hundred dollars year If they were SO
minded. But that is not tho way OF
women. They spend every cent they
make. and in most cases have their
monthly salary spent before it's in
their hands. AS long as women won't
save we're not likely to have many
women millionaires in this country
Sometimes there's woman who really
wants to increase her fortune, but she
soon realizes that conditions are
against her. A woman hasn't as many
chances for making money as men
have. She amt around among men.

A PRESIDENTIAL KISS.
Head of French Republic Kisses Hi.
Mother Before Thousands.

Mother Before Thousands.
Baron PIERRE de Coubertin writes in
the Century of Emile Loubet, presi-
dent of the French Republic, record
ing incidentally one of the little oc-
currences that have made the chief ex-
ecutive a popular man: What was it
that Emile Loubet did to cause him
to be so highly thought of by those
who gave him their votes? If you
should ask the general public or in
terrogate current opinion or the press
you would be answered with the COM
mOnplace which one hears so often in
similar cases. oh" they would say
to you, he didn't do anything" At
the famous Partisan tavern, the BLACK
Cat" where all the men of the day
are touched off in popular ballads, the
answer was somewhat different. The
refrain of a political song that met
with great success a year ago was this:i
"Loubet. oh, how much he
loved his motherI" And from stanza
to stanza we find the good people OF
Montelimar, and even the entire
French people, represented as over
come by the affection which Emile
Loubet showed for his mother, that
most respectable peasant woman, who
lives in Montelimar. The explanation
of this song is an episode in the life
of the president which rebounds COM
pletely to his honor On the day that
he entered his native town for the
first time as president of the republic
he saw his mother seated on one of the
tribunes, watching the procession pass.
At once he caused his carriage to be
stopped, and, without the slightest
regard for the pomp and officialdom
with which he was surrounded, he got
out of the carriage and ran over to kiss
the old lady, being unwilling to wait
to the end of the ceremonies. Such
spontaniety of feeling as his, and such
simplicity Of manners, far from shock"
ing, We're sure to gain for him the
hearts of Frenchmen. But by putting
this little episode in relief the ballad
maker wished to impress his hearers
with the idea that there was nothing
in the political career of Emile Louber
''hich was more interesting to note
than this family scene.

FOR THE WRITING TABLE.

There is a growing liking among
,housekeepers for writing table in the
drawing room, and there is much to
be said in it's favor, although at first
thought it seems somewhat unneces-
sary. 1t certainly cannot be used for
private correspondence, bills or other
strictly personal matters, but often it
is convenient for the visitor who may
wish TO leave a message for an absent
friend, to write an address or some
such trifie.
Only writing table, be it under
stood, not writing desk, is to be es-
tablished in the drawing room, and 1t
should always be made as decorative
as possible, harmonizing with the gen.
eral character of the room. An extre-
mely simple writing table would be out
of place in an apartment brilliant in
color and furnishings, and a highly
ornate one would not be suited to
room rather severe in style. In any
case, it Is in better taste to use only
dark colors, when a cover is needed,
leaving to the fitments of brass, silver
or glass, the task of providing the de-
sirable brightness. A carved table OF
plack oak looks well with scarf OF
deep crimson or dark blue satin with
embroidered ends that hang we'll over.
Such an arrangement would harmonic
with a somewhat stately room. friv-
olous room with much color and CLEAN
of gold might have gilt table, but
never black oak, says the New York
Tribune.

The old mansion of General William
Tecumseh Sherman, at the corner of
Garrison and Bell avenues, st. Louis,
is to be converted into a family hotel.
Eastern capitalists have obtained pos
session of the historic old residence,
about which cluster so many memories
of the great men whose presence made
the abode sacred in the minds of the
public.
But the ruthless hand of CONNER
cialism which leveled the Indian
mounds, from which St. Louis derives
the name mound City, is not to be
stayed by memories of former great
ness and historic associations The
old house is one of the best known in
the city, and in the country for that
matter, having often been the abode
temporarily of some of the most dis
tinguished citizens of America.
The house and lot were donated to
General Sherman by the citizens of
St. Louis shortly after the civil war.
1t was built at a cost of $4,000, which
was raised by popular subscription.
General Sherman first took up his res
idence in the house in 1867 and lived
there with his family for seven years.
and they had a dispute with the city
officials over the payment of his water
taxes 1t was not so much the pay
ment of water rates than Gen. Sher-
man objected to as the high rate inn
posed on him. Ultimately he paid the
taxes, but he was offended with the
city officials and chagrined by the in
cident. and this, coupled with the at
tacks of an editor whom he had
drummed out of his camp as cor
respondent. caused him to leave the
city.
Upon the generals death the G. A.
r. offered the heirs $4,000 for the
house, to be used for headquarters, but

The Center of the Apple Industry.

The Center of the Apple Industry.
The center OF the apple industry in
the United States and the county which
has more acres of apple orchards than
any other section of the world is Clay
county, Illinois. The largest apple or
chard in the country contains $40
acres. Within the corporate limits of
Flora, the county seat, are found
more than 300 acres, and the major
portion Of which is bearing, and from
an eminece on the northwestern boun-
Diary may be seen 1000 acres of the
best commercial apple orchards in the
state. Clay county has within its con-
fines a total slightly in excess of 40,
poo acres of apple trees. On an average
30 trees are set to the acre, making
therefore, a total of 100000 trees in
khe county. The average age of the
orchards is IL years, and consequently
another year will see them In their
prime. The Illinois apple belt extends
from Newton. in Jasper County south
TO Fairfield, in Wayne county and
from Olney Richland county, to Cen
tralia, in the extreme southwestern
portion of Marion county. The coun-
ties embraced in this territory contain
10000 acres of apple orchards, or one
half of the total areage OF the state of
Illinois. The soil seems peculiarly
adapted to the raising of the typical
tree, the prodution of the perfect APP

HATcHINo AN OSTRICH.
The Labor Dividing Process of the Male
and Female Birds.


and Female Birds.
Early in the year, Just as spring
dawns. a pair of ostriches will begin to
build nest, or rather to scrape one
out of the ground. The male bird rests
his breastbone on the ground and kicks
the sand behind; when one side Is suf-
ficiently deep he turns around and OBJ
crates in like manner, until a round
hole about three feet in diameter and
one foot deep is the result of his ex-
ertions; occasionally he intimates to
the female that help is desired and
they take turns. The hen forthwith
begins to lay an egg every day, until
IL or is are located side by side in
this hole in the ground; they scatter
little sand over the eggs to protect
them from the rays of the California
sun; this habit has doubtless led to
the supposition printed in many ancient
natural histories that the eggs of the
ostrich are Matched by the sun, unaided
by the birds. AS soon as the full num-
Der of eggs are laid, the couple share
the labor of Matching; the male bird
setting on the eggs from o'clock in
the afternoon until o'clock the fol-
lowing morning; and it may be under
stood with what skill this is performed
when 1t is remembered that $50 pounds
of ostrich is bearing down upon IA
eggs at 9 o'clock the hen takes his
place. The male ostrich, however,
with remarkable intelligence relieves
L. Co in,
of the day while she goes in search of
necessary nourishment. A pair will
follow this regime with the greatest
regularity for about 40 days. when the
eggs are Matched.
