CHICAGO CATTLE SHOW.
Exposition to be the Most Successful
Held in MANY Years.

Preparations for the International
Live Stock Exposition which will be
held In Chicago are now on In full
blast and the indications are that Il
will be much larger than has ever
been held before. The entries. which
have been closed, show 50 per cent
more exhibits than in 1900. The in.
creas is mainly noticeable in the fat
cattle classes, in which the exposition
in 1902 will be most conspicuous.
There also promises "a he a large ex.
position of western cattle and sheep.
A movement is on foot to place the
international exhibition on a perma.

show stock in the main building to
the effect that all cattle consigned for

OF the show building. While this may
work a little hardship in a few indi.
vidual instances IL is apparent that
the general interests Of the show as
of the sales will be s~ubserved by the
enforcement of this regulation. 1t Is
IN open secret that at the past shows
parties have entered sale cattle In

Every lover of rare and curious

produced on the disk Of the moon.
Andrew Lang said that the an
cient folklore Of beans is most Gu
rious. and interesting topic, because
it seems wholly out Of the question
that we should ever understand
what it was all about. Demeter was
the patroness of all fruits and veg

it impious to attribute to her the

The First OF These Organizations In
This Country Was sorosis.
The frst wofnan's club in this
country was So-osis. The inspira-
tion for action in such form came
to Mrs. Jennie G. CroIy Of New

stanced by the names of such wom-
en- as Alice Cary, Kate Field, Phoebe
Cary and Ella Dietz Clymer as off,

The object of Sorosis was to bring
together women of all kinds and
each to assist the other in working
along her own lines in the way most
helpful to herself. Such platform
necessitated much sympathy and
patient inquiry before settling down
to what might be termed systematic
work. This little band Of women
realized keenly that they had been
and still were shut cut from muck

termined to bida their time and
work out their own salvation and

just when Sorosis was in the en-
bryoaic stage a letter came from
Miss Kate Field, telling Of the for
nation of another club in Boston
and objecting to the name Of the
New York club. She wrote: soThe
Boston women are also forming q
club. but they have got men with
them and know better what they
want They will accomplish some
thing practical and definite. Don't
go on with Sorosis. I won't have

means, and nobody will know what
you mean or what you want, and

Natural Fountain Pen

Pine needles grow in pairs in the
same sheath, and when placed side
by side the sharp pointed ends are
exactly opposite. Fasten these two
needles together by thread quite
near the pointed end, and you win
have a pen witt two sharp nibs,
ready to write whatever you please.
AS penho!der insert the pen into a
hollow twig, letting the points stick
out about half an inch. Dip your
pen into an inkstand, letting it re-
main for a short time in the ink.
The ink will rise by capillarity in
the tube formed by the junction Of
the two needles AMI will form a re-
serve of liquid sufficient for the

Fire From Friction.

1t is well known that some cav.
age tribes are accustomed to obtain
tire by the friction Of dry wood, but
white men trying the experiment
usually fail. The method used by a
native Indian tribe, the Yanadis of
Asdfas presidency, is described in a
bulletin OF the Madras government
museum In short stick squafe
cavity is made. The stick Is then
laid on the ground and held frmly
In place by one operator. while an
other rapidly twi1i;s between his
hands a longer stick, one end of
which rests in the cavity. From the
fire thus produced dry leaves or a
rag can be ignited.
