Names of Women.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail
/ The differences in character in women are
perhaps fewer in number. and certainly are
less strongly marked than in men 1t may
be, too that they are less under the influ-
ence of their names than men are. Many
of their names are quite colorless, but l
will give few that have character. Cathe-
rine and Elizabeth, If they are so called
are practical organizing women. They get
power and. use it well.
Kitty and Bessie on. the other; hand are
more feminine and less suited to public
| careers; of these Two Kitty is almost in
variably the cleyerer. Fanny and Polly are
not necessarily -ill-natured, but they are
scandal-mongers. Florence is generally dis
clntented. and so is 6fofry; Flossie is, as
rule, quite contenteds and irritatingly
silly. e.
Alice is the female of Arthur. Her char
acter is generally feeble; she is meek on
the surface but there is sometimes SUBJ
stratum of spitefulness. Agnes is inclined
to have all the virtues, but no sense of
humor. Gertrude and Margaret have a
marked capacity for self-sacrifce and de-
votion; they are good names for sick
nurses The capacity is less marked in
Gertie and Maggie, and they are generally
more commonplace.
Ann has a strong will and a disregard
for nicetes and the fine shades; Annie on
the contrary is generally under the DOM
nation of some stronger character. Edith
has courage and self-control, and makes
good mother Louisa is spirited. Barbara
is unconventional. Ada, 1 am afraid is
fool; she may possibly distinguish herself
in artistic career, but she will show
great foolishnesS in other respects. Ethel
is rather limited person, and in early life
is generally a fiirt. Jane has what is vul-
carly called a "cool cheek but Jenny is
less self-cOnfident 49J
Phyllis is lazyUDorayhas personal charm;
Georgiana is a good sportswoman. Maud is
fond of society, hut is, not unduly frivolous:

Long Shoulders.
The desire to obtain long shoulder effects

Head Scarfs are d great feature of sum-

openwork gauze mingled with the silk, and
are therefore light as thistledown.
They are in all the pastel shades. A vivid

HIGH LANDS Of WENAS
TO Be RECLAIMED
Plan of the Owners of Realty in that
Fruitful Section to Bring 5000
Acres Under Cultivation

An organization has been effected in
the Wenas valley of which Mr.. John
Cleman is chairman, having for its OBJ
iect, the purchase of what is known as
the sherman Farm, with a view to con-
yerting the same into a storage reser-
voir, and thus increase the available
supply of water for irrigation purposes
in that valley. The survey and plans
of the reservoir will soon be made. 1t
is thought that sufficient water can be
stored at that point to irrigate all the
arabic lands within the valley, includ-
ing all that section of the country
known as the "Iowa Flat" If the
expectation of the citizens is borne out
by the examination of the engineers, the
reservoir will probably be constructed
during the coming year and perhaps sew
en- or eight thousand acres of land,
which is now arid, will be brought into
cultivation. The company is one on
the cooperative plan, and the people
who own the land to be irrigated will
themselves construct the reservoir.
The question of bringing this valuable
section under cultivation is one that has
long been agitated, and numerous futile
attempts have hitherto been attempted
even to the boring for artesian water.
The Iowa Flat is recognized as being as
fine a body of land as there is in the
county, and nature has so laid it out
that it is in ideal shape for irrigation
should the scheme for its reclamation
prove feasible. Those best acquainted
with conditions there say they have no
doubt of the success of the plan.

Fruit Trees DESTROYED.

Inspector Beck continues indefatiga-
bly, at the task of destroying all fruit
trees sent into this county for planting,
whenever there is indication of pests
upon them. Last Friday an invoice of
$4,000 trees arrived from Woodburn,
Ore, nursery, and 1000 of them were
found to be infected with crown gall
and woody aphis. These were all burn
ed without delay or ceremony.
1t is stated that a Missouri firm of
nurserymen propose bringing suit against
State Inspector Won Holderbeke to re-
cover damages for the destruction of a
large number of their trees shipped in
to various parts of this state A great
many of these trees have been condemn
ed and destroyed by Inspector Beck be-
cause they were infected with woody
aphis. The Missourians claim that the
destruction of the trees was in contra
vention of the interstate commerce law,
but it is rather hard to believe that they
can secure any relief when it is plainly
shown that the introduction of their
trees threatens the life of the fruit bus
mess in this state.
