SENDS HIS BILLS TO THE MEN,


There is man in an eastern city
who does large business in babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
children, writes Edward Box, in La
lies Home Journal. He makes and
sells nothing else. His trade is almost
entirely with women. Up to within
hree years ago he would send out to
his customers bills amounting to as
much as $4,000. In six months TIME
he would receive less than 5000 in re.
turn. Yet his customers all stood
we'll and were considered women of
easy means. Then he deliberately
changed his method of rendering bills.
He went over his books and found that
he had some $4,000 worth of unpaid
accounts. He made out the bills and
addressed them to the husbands or
fathers of his customers, directing the
bills to their offices. Within 60 days
he had received $4,000 in checks. His
invariable rule now is to send all his
bills to the husbands, fathers or the
male members of his customers fami-
lies. When no male member exists he
insists upon a cash transaction.

Women In Holland,

A great change has come over pub
lie feeling in Holland as to girls in
the upper classes earning their own
livelihood. The prejudice against
women working for a livelihood has
almost disappeared and even rich
women sometimes choose profess
sion. They number doctors, dentists,
many of them first rate, photograph
ers, and gardeners. About 1000 girls
hold posts as assistant chemists,
some 5000 are nurses, trained in the
White Cross homes, and on a par
with the very best of their profess
sion. A woman is curator of the
natural history museum in HARLEM
and another holds the same post at
Utrecht, while a third is head dis
penser at a hospital in Amsterdam.
The railway, post and telegraph Off
ces are largely served by women
clerks, who altogether outnumber
the men.

Amid all the paeaus of joy going
up from Kansas is one troubled note
from Mcpherson. "This city is suf-
iering from toad plague" says a
special dispatch. "The recent dry
weather has caused the boys and
.swamps which surround Mcpherson
to dry up, and the toads which are
unusually numerous this year, have
invaded the town. Now, this might
happen anywhere, but the remainder
of the telegram is Characteristic Of
Kansas. Traffic Of almost all kinds"
it continues, "has been suspended.
Street cars, bicycles and buggies can
not be used while the toads hop about
the streets. Horses can hardly be
driven along the streets because Of
their fear of the toads." Watch Nc.
Pherson. The town is either having
Il mighty hard time or somebody
down there has bad case OF i'm Jams.

Tnere Is a mountain Of dark-brown
basalt on the Columbia river, nearly
1000 feet in height, and stretching

Being somewhat Of Z mechanical

charmingly that his paralysis with &C.

Prosperity Followed tho War

?. A. X. Widener OF Philadelphia
thinks that the present prosperity in
the United States is largely due to
the Spanish war. ut would have
come sooner or later, he says, shut
that fastened it. We did not want
the war. We were forced into it by
the yellow journals and jingo poll
ticians. The president stood them
off as long as he could, but after the
Maine explosion we had to fight, and
during the few months that followed
we developed more rapidly as a ma.
ton than ever before in so short a
period. There was q great impetus
given to every industry; employment
was afforded TO every man who was
willing to work, wages were ad.
vanced, prices were advanced, profits
were increased, there was more
rapid exchange Of money all around,
and, furthermore, we saw the recog.
milton Of the United States as a great
nation by the powers Of the world,
and the arousing Of the national
pride.
ave became world power very
suddenly. We had always been one,
but did not realize it, and the fact
was not acknowledged by the older
nations. Now we stand as the wealth.
lest, the most progressive, the most
powerful and the most influential Of
all the nations, the greatest producer
Of both agricultural and mechanical
products, the greatest exporter Of
