MISS GOULD AT HOME.

To know her one must see Miss
Gould in her country place, Lyndhurst,
at n-on-the-Hudson, where she
spends half the year. There she is
seldom without visitors-not formal
house parties, formally entertained, but
friends, often self-supporting girls, who
come for week or six weeks, to visit
on the simple basis of companionship.
For these there are half dozen horses
in the stable, and riding master
comes up from New York to accom-
lrany and teach the less proficient. On
Agummer mornings Miss Gould and her
guests will be up ct $50, fortified with
coffee, and off into the country lanes,
riding hatless and shirt-waisted in the
freedom of that early hour. 1t is not
park riding-that is for her winter
months in New York-but good, happy
country galloping, with sometimes q
brisk race against a shower by way of
excitement. For Miss Gould fears
thunder as some women do mice, and
there is no tranquil waiting under 4
tree for her when the cannonade be-
gins.
Most of us can be reached by dra-
matte cry for help, a pitiful, obvious
tragedy, flung in front of our windows.
But Miss Gould's true claims to the
hearts of her countrymen lie in faith
full, undramatlc, day-by-day service;
the ready help, here for struggling
student, there for a crippled child;
the long hours of work on committees
)noy which some public end is achieved;
the thousand good deeds of even which
N1er own right hand does not know, so
modest Is the left-Juliet Wilbur

DR.. Koch Will Go.

A dispatch from Cape Town says
that the mission Of Dr. Koch to South
Africa in connection with cattle dis
eases is practically certain. The va
rious governments and the Chartered
Company will pay the expenses be-
tween them, the company contributing
two-fifths of the entire cost, which is
estimated at $4,000. DR.. Koch will
take two assistants with him. The
fees he has asked are at the rate of
100000 a year for himself, and $4,000
a year for each assistant. In addition
to this, all expenses incurred by the
great expert in bacteriology are to be
paid, and SIS a day special allowance
for himself.

A COMMON SENSE SOCIAL.

I attended gay little affair which
bur hostess called "a common sense
social" The punning name was given
to it because all of the games-and a
bright series they made-were founded
, ION the common Senses" such as hear
dng, feeling, etc. For example, in the
feeling contest the player is blind
folded and required to feel a dozen
objects on table. When the bandage
is removed he is required to write
down the names of all the objects, as
he supposes them to be. For hearing,
he listens to something, we will say
song or story, and is afterward called
upon to reproduce the words upon
paper as closely as possible. For
smells, a number of small boxes filed
with various household materials, such
as bread, starch, Indian meal, boraX,
celery, salt and the like, are passed
from hand to hand. The player smells
them with bandage over his eyes and
afterwards guesses their contents,
Points are given for the best work in
each competition. The player who
holds the most points at the end Of the
series wins a prize. The prizes were
GN desirable gifts in touch with the
games OF the evening. For example,
a pair Of opera glasses (vlsion), phon-
ograph hearingl, silver spoon Gaste).

No One Should Live Without Work.

General William Booth, founder Of
the Salvation Army, does not believe
in the ten-million-dollar home which
the late Winfield Scott Stratton pro-
posed to build with his vast fortune.
In an interview he said: at is all a
mistake to give poor people so much
charity. They should be made to
work, for no one has the right to live
on the product Of another mans la
Dor without giving proper compensa-
ton" 1t was remarked that the home
was for the INDECENT poor and Grip
pied, whereupon the General said: 81
do not care If they are crippled they
should work anyway, for everybody
can do some work. Even my wife,
when she was in her last illness and
paralyzed in her right arm, learned to
crochet with her left hand and worked
on pair of slippers for me, finishing
them within four days of her death.
The Stratton home may be all right,
but 1t is all wrong to get together a
large number Of men and women,
clothe and feed them for nothing, and
not require them to work"

THE CHARMS OF MANNER.

"She can't come into room, she
sticks in the door," is the reference
made by novelist to one of the char
acters in her most recent work. One
reader seizes upon this sentence as a
basis for some comments upon the ac-
tions Of the girl Of the period. "Nowa-
days no one is taught any of the
charms of manner" she says. ga girl
comes into the room like a whirlwind
leaving the door open behind her, or
else slams it violently; she sits on her
gown, which is all crumpled up under
her, and she gathers up her skirts in
the street with a careless movement,
which is as ungraceful as 1t is ineffec-
tive"

Canned Pumpkins.

The pumpkin is coming to its own,
but not swiftly enough for the require
ments OF trade. The demand far ex-
ceeds the supply. Those few farmers
or commercial pumpkinists who grow
this popular vegetable for market will
receive twice as much for it this sea-
son as ever before. The canning fac
tories want to can more than million
cans, but the raw material is not forth
coming. The Importance and growth
Of the pumpkin industry will be more
fully realized when 1t is known that
one modest cannery in Northern Ohio
pays $4,000 for its pumpkin supply
in a season.

Spanish Amanda. The high road was
strongly fortified against him, but q
traitor guided him by an Indian path

one man in the city, a knight named
Alonzo de Lodoma, who was too old
to go cut with his neighbors, but Of
fered to fight the Englishmen one at a
time as long as his strength lasted.
Sir Francis was SO pleased with his
valor that he proposed to spare his

and the sailor cut his head off. Sir
Francis did not lose single man, and
carried off treasure to the value Of

A HumiIiating Breakdown.

The general public have been 50 much
open door in M%anchuria that they have
overlooked the backdoWn of which His
Strenuosity was guilty, in the matter
Of the petition of the Russian govern
ment concerning the kischineff atroc-
tiles. The president had declared that
he was going to send it, and Justice
Brewer Of the supreme court had con
graduated him upon the courage in
volved in that declaration and intimat-
ed that any other course was impoSSi-
BILE for the present Chief Magistrate
to pursue. But after saying hat he
was going to send it and talking very
largely and loosely and about the bad
faith of Russia in the Manchuria mat
ter, the affair comes 20 this inglOriOus
end, with this letter to h Jewish au-
thoritieS in America from the Secre-
tary of state:
Sir: l am directed by the preSi-
e n to acquaint o that this depart
ment is Informed by the American
Embassy in St. Petersburg that the
Imperial government Of Russia has de-
clined to receive or consider the petit
ton in relation to the condition of the
Jews in Russia which was addressed to
his majesty, the emperor, by a large
number of citizens CT the United
States, n which this department, by
direction of the president and at our
request, undertook to transmit to its
high destination. l am, sir, very re-

In other words we said that we We're

There is something in the American
makeup that rather likes an appeal to
its humanity, especially against the
big bully hat Russia is known to be.
But Russia is not Spain, if you please.
Russia is right smart bigger than
Spain. Nobody knew just what would
happen if the state department sent
that note, after the rather insulting
expressions of the Russian authorities
about it. So the sending of the protest
ended in the meek enquiry whether
Russia would receive a rebuke at our
hands, and as Russia said very
promptly and CURLY that we had better
attend to our own business, we decided
to do just that. Besides, We are to

knowledge of human nature, that if the
average German workman could be in
duced to own his home and have some
thing to hope for, something to cave
for his children, he would no longer
yearn for a rediviSion OF property, and
the growth of socialism, which has
thriven in the empire despite the draS-
tic repressive laws Of the Bismarck

this possible a way must be provided
TOT very quick and very cheap trans

Along this line there are organizing

workman TO own his home, and check

Socialism and Electricity

Electricians agree hat the Germans
of today are ahead OF any others, even
Americans, in the matter Of applied
electricity, and they we'll understand
that much of this progress is due to
the liberal, patient, and continuous en-
enlargement the German government
has given to electrical developments
and they have taken it for granted that
the prestige in the field thus gained
was sufficient reward for their outlay.
L remained for the German engineers
that visited Indianapolis a few days ago
TO reveal the fact hat behind il all
vas a political purpose, nothing more
Tor less than the idea Of fighting Ger
man socialism with electricity.
That sounds very much k the
dream of a visionary at first blush, but
a little examination proves it TO be
founded on a bottom Of information and
sense. By means of the very complete
German police system the emperor long
ago learned that o than nine-tenths
Of the German socialists were men that
lived in leased or rented houses, and
and had no real estate of their own.

act Of July /. 1908, by requesting au-
thority from the treasury department
TO take samples and make a chemical
analysis of certain food products
shipped 70 his country from abroad.
The permission asked for has been
granted and an official examination of
these products will be made to de-

to health. An inquiry also will be
made to determine whether their use
is prohibited in the country of their
origin. In neither Of these contingent
