She Makes Tom bstones,

Alice Rigg is young woman Of
Windsor, Ont, who has found one
more sphere of womans work, and
the novel sight Of girl working with
mallet and chisel over a tombstone
may now be witnessed in Windsor any
time during week days. The engraver
is the daughter of George Rigg, pro-
prietor of the local marble works. She
is the only woman marble cutter in
the Dominion of Canada. Six years
ago she used to look after her fathers
Office after school. One dull evening
being lost for someluing to do she
picked up the shop tools and chiseled
for pastime. She liked the novelty and
1t was not long until she did the most
of her fathers engraving. She dons
the heavy canvas apron used by the
men and works out in the open. And
the tombstone trade shows the results.

Ladies' Hats and Headache.

A medical man recently published a
letter in which he stated that he had
been called in by several married la
dies, who said they suffered from Pc
cutarly irritable kind Of headache
which had recently begun to trouble
them. The husbands of nearly all of
them told him privately that they had
never found their wives so disagreea-
bly, nappish-anything seemed to an
noy them, especially when they had
their hats on. When thecorrespondent
in question asked to see these hats,
he found them very much alike-large
structures of straw, with masses of
flowers and ribbons towering high into
the air. The weight in itself was too
heavy for the delicate Uranium of a
woman, but worst of all was the anxi-
ETY. the lady must feel in keeping such
a thing poised on her head-London

It doesn't often happen that lace gets
up on the girdle, which is usually an
affair of velvet or silk, well draped and
kept clear of ornamentation, but we
note this season, where the gown is of
silk or lawn and where it is trimmed
with lace, lace is also introduced on the
high belt. The girdle is then boned
and stiffened and lined to keep it in
place 1t is usually Of silk, which is
draped on the fitted lining. The belt is
not edged with lace as might be sup
posed but receives a motif as it is
called, one in the back as rule, and
perhaps, two in front. These are
stitched carefully down to the belt
and fastened all around, after the usual
fashion of applique.

Light colored painted woodwork
should be busted lightly with brush.
The great secret in cleaning paint
successfully is to do it very quickly
and use only a little water, rinsing
it as soon as clean in clean water, and
letting it dry quickly. The water
used may have little gold dust or
similar cleansing agent dissolved in
it. Black painted woodwork can be
very easily cleaned and frightened by
rubbing with rag dipped in either
kerosene or oil and turpentine. This
could also be applied to light paint
work if very dirty. The hinges OF
creaking doors should also be attend
ed to at this time, the defect being
easily remedied by applying feather
dipped in oil. This will also ease q

Foibles of Some Women.

The woman lawyer gaZed reflect

familiarizing themselves with the law,
either for practical business purposes
or for the administration of trust es-

People can't seem to understand that
the woman's law class is not the regu-
lar law class of the university at all
ard that membership in it does not
make a woman a lawyer or fit her to
pass the examinations for entrance to
the bar 1t is simply form of univer-

umphs. They want also to grasp the
hard earned honors of the professional

press clubs have very few active news
paper women in them. Real newspa-
per women are usually too busy for
club life. There is percentage of
women everywhere who are attracted
by a certain glamour that seems to
hang about that profession, just as
there are others who are attracted by
the theatrical atmosphere. They push
their way by hook or crook into the
press clubs, and as they usually have
more time and money than do the writ
ers, they go to conventions and kindly
represent the real press women, who
are hard at work at home.
81 knew one woman who was an as
sociate member of a woman's press
club in western city. She spent a
good deal of her time in the east and
when national or international con-
ventions were held she would be on
land to represent the club as dele

ticle in her life and never could. She
liked to be in the press club atmos-
phere, and l suppose it did not hurt
any one. There was another who had
brother in the railroad business. She
travelled great deal on passes and
would write articles to her home paper
for the pleasure of seeing her name in
print. OF course, when the conventions
occurred she could always go, as her
transportation cost her nothing. At

Women Colonists.


The Lady Warwick hostel at Read.
ing, says the London Express, is about
to establish a new branch for the pur-
pose of training women for life in
South Africa and other colonies.
Miss Edith Bradley, the warden,
told an Express representative recent
ly that the British Women's Emlgra-
ton association. with the Hon. Mrs,
Joyce at it's head, had done much good
work in starting women in new
spheres of life in the colonies.
Lord Brassey, presiding recently at
meeting OF the South African Ex-
pansion committee. showed how the
future of that colony would depend
on its colonization by trained and ca
pable women.
When the war is over there will be
openings for able women as teachers,
nurses, secretaries, typewriters, tele-
graph and telephone clerks, seam
stresses, household assistants, market
gardeners, poultry managers and dairy
maids.
The South African Expansion COM
mittee is dealing with the problem
on economic lines, with the queen as
patron. Territorial committees have
been formed for Cape Town, Cape Col
ony, Natal, Orange River, Rhodesia
and the Transvaal.
A years training for colonial life
before leaving England is suggested
as a valuable means of raising the
standard of colonization.
By extending the curriculum at the
Lady Warwick hostel at Reading so
as to embrace cookery, laundry work,
dressmaking and housewifery this
training can be given and Brooke
House has been taken over to accom-
nodate a dozen students.

VIII NOuSITuc laws n1SIQIys
A dispatch from Lewistown, Mont,
to the Great Falls Tribune says: An
effort is about to be made by the COM
missioner of the general land Office to
reform some of the abuses which have
crept into the system of acquiring
homesteads upon the public lands of
the United States. From communica-
tons recently received by the officers
of the local land Office it appears that
radical changes have been made in
the existing homestead laws, which
have been VIGOROUSLY lax in their OPP
Grafton and have opened a wide door
to fraud, by which only bona fide set
tiers upon the public domain will be
able to obtain title to land after spe-
Gifted period of actual and continuous
residence upon the same.
Hereafter it will be necessary to
show, in addition to the usual facts,
the length of time the alleged occu-
pant has been absent from the land
WHICH ne CldlulS dS q uOIuCSlcdu, luC-
Their, that he has complied with the
homestead laws in every particular
as to actual residence and cultivation
of the land for period of five years.
Occasional visits to the land do not
constitute residence. within the mean
ing OF the law, but the party must be
able to show that he has lived upon it
with his family and has occupied it as
his home. In Communication proofs the
party must also be able to show actual
settlement, improvement and cultiva-
ton of the land for six months previ-
GUS to making proof, otherwise his APP
plication is liable to be turned down.
These Statutory reforms will effectually
put an end to the practice Of defraud-
ing the government by a mere fictiti-
GUS residence upon the land filed upon
as homestead.
