A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Delineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins q
new century, The Deltneator offers to distr-
butte $l7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so clevery arranged that woman living in
small town or village has just as good q
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as .
woman living in q city-because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
ation Of that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list of
subscribers-which, Of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
Of the plan is that all the cities and towns Of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass l,
and as these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest S.. .O0
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is $1,000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number of towns in class increases, be-
cause, of course there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to class increases, so that in Class I,
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in.
habitants of the town from which the con-
testant sends them.
This is altogether very liberal offer, and

A 81 bill, bearing only stamp
and no wrapper was recently sent
through the mails from Chicago.
The bill served as wrapper for a
written communication on a card,
and was sewed to the card. On

was raised as to the right of send
ing money in this manner, but the
bill in the end was allowed to go

A recent illustration of the pas
sion for litigation is furnished by
citizen of New York, who was a
guest at one of the Mills hotels
there, and whose undershirt was
lost in the wash. What was deem
ed compensation for the lost gar
ment was offered him, but he pre-
ferred to carry the case to the
courts, where he sued Mr.. Mills to
recover 75c. He was nonsuited,
and then he carried the case up to
the higher courts, and now the APP
pellate term of the Supreme Court
has affirmed the judgment of the
lower court. 1t has cost the litig-
ious plaintiff the price of several
dozen undershirts.

The Taste of Eggs.

Very few people realize how sensitive
the egg is to bad odors, and many even
think that the shell is sufficient protection
against any contamination from without.
But the shell is porous, and the albumen
or white Of the egg quickly absorbs and
holds the favor OF any bad odor TO which
il is exposed, as il also does IN any bad
favor of the food given. Il is scarcely
less susceptible in this respect than the
milk products.
As the hen seems TO be almost devoid
Of the sense OF taste, care should be taken
to give her only well favored food, and
the feeding OF partially decayed meat or
fish, onions, and other s,fong-Smelling
food should never be allowed when hens
are laying But care also needs to be
taken TO have the nests clean aud sweet,
and never put eggs where they will be
tainted by Goldfish, kerosene. or anything
else.
If it is found necessary TO use kerosene
on the nests, do il at night that The odor
may evaporate before the hens use them

In view of the results already attained
by this stimulus to law-makng and law

Nation seriously. Undoubtedly hysteri-
cal and largely irresponsible, she is
nevertheless full OF the best Of motives.
II results constitute any criterion Of
action, those who stand BY and silently
witness the criminal acts of the saloon
keepers have no right to critcise this
woman, who is certainly devoted to
righteous cause although so plainly
misguided In her methods. 1t Is too
much to compare Mrs. Nation with other
great reformers? Mr.. White does this
and again he states the case plainly and
forcibly.
Like many persons of limited mental
capacity she is sure of her distinctions
between right and wrong. Therefore
she has been free to act without re-
straint. The person who spends vau-
able time toying with the equities of
circumstance, trying to locate and mark
out the boundaries of exact Justice be-

strenuous life. With Mrs. Nation, BE

severe Kain and SNOW STORM.

One of the most wide.pread aud dis.
astrou- foods has inundated all tho low
lands In western Pennsylvania. eastern

week. Rain and .now had ialea almost
without intermission for three day.
Mountain streams, creeks and rivers had
been overlooking their bank and doing
vast damage.
Pittsburg seemed to be in the center
OF the storm belt. The financial l0ss
will be immense, besides the hundreds
OF thousands and perhaps millions Of
dollars, there will be the cost Of putting
the large manufacturing industries into
commission. Tens Of thousands of skill
ed laborers were thrown out Of employ
ment.

rains fell as early az Wednesday of last
week which caused rapid rise 10 the

which reached from Canada to the At
