PAPER BY AND FOR WOMEN.


 Now why must a paper edited by wo-
 men be just for women. Wouldn't it be queer if a papor edited by men should be supposed to be for men only? Just as long as this separate idea holds, woman must acknowledge herself mans aping inferior.
 A departure in journalism that Is herald ed in newspaperdom is a daily flor and by" women to apear soon in New York. Of it The St. Louis Republic says: Women are not novices in journalism, and plenty of monthly and weekly pub lications have been run by the fair sex. Chicago has even talked. about daily women's paper, but 1t Is said to be still waiting for money enough to get 1t started.
 Meantime plans have been almost per- fected in New York for the establish ment of a daily newspaper for women, and the first issue has been promised on November 2 The fact has been known for some time to several hundred women. but the secret has been well kept and has only just come out
 The name of tie new publication will be made known only when it appears upon the title page of the first issue. It has not yet been selected, and in order to get the one which will best express the aims and feminine character of the paper a prize of s1O0 will shortly be offered to the woman who hits upon the most appro- priate designation.
 The paper is to be almost exclusively a a feminine enterprise. There will De a ecopy boy 1t is stated. not copy girl and the financial and mechanical depart A.n E,, da nf hlft all the editors and reporters will be wo- men. There will be twenty-five women in the city department, besides many out side women contributors.
 Aside from it's femininlty the most origi- nal feature of the paper will be It's em- ployment agency. The aim of this de- partment will be to furnish reliable ser- wants. whose references will have been fully investigated before their advertise ment will be allowed to appear in the Help Wanted" column, and who Will be encouraged to do their best by prizes Tor length of service with one employer and for general efficiency.
 There will also be a health and beauty dspartment, in charge of an expert of recognized ability; a culinary department, A page of fashions. with daily feur- column illustration; two columns of litera- rv. musical and theatrical comment, questions and answers. and serial story.
 The general news of the day will be given in condensed form, and prominent position will be given to club, society ana philanthropic work, and all the news or the world of interest to ambitious women.
 The paper will comprise eight six-column pages, and 1t Is intended to print it on a better quality of paper than that ordi- narily used. twill be illustrated with half-tone cuts of prominent local women, but pictures will not ordinarily be used The paper will sell for cent a copy, and there will be no Sunday edition. It will start with an issue of 5000 copies

man writes to a Beauty Depart ment of a paper:
 "I am a man and hesitate to write to your column, but perhaps you will pre- scribe for my hair. which is falling out, though I shampoo 1t every day and keep the scalp perfectly clean. I would like a good tonic."
 The answer he received may bring hope to some other struggling youth. It is:
 Let your hair alone. Shampoo 1t once in two weeks, using two raw eggs and warm water.
 Brush it as little as possible. Use the comb very little. Twice a week massage the roots with ten drops of pure olive oil"

LAUGHING 1" GOING OUT"
 Science has been studying laughter. and has decided that society Is restraining 1t to such an extent as to put 1t out of fashion, 50 to speak. 'The upper ten ve- toes 1t and the middle class wishing to initiate. follows suit"
 If this Is the case, let us go down, down until we reach the level where laughter reigns. and there be merry. What Is so inspiring as timely, hearty laughter?
 writer in The New Orleans Times Democrats writes the following on the subject:
 Man. the laughing animai.' is forget ting how to laugh.
 His restraint of visibility is due to the dictates of society," to the sharp class anta agonisms of the present day: to a dis appearance of the human spirit of play; to a whole alteration of temper in the mass of the people,"
 ''So says Dr. James suiiy, the eminent psychologist. Here are his words: These signs may well make the friend of laugh ter sad. There is nothing unreasonable in the idea of death of all the more joyous and refreshing mirth. The utiil- ties give us no pledge of final survival of the merry impulse.
 "Is this mere pessimists dream? The learned man has just compiled a great mass of data which support his theory. With these in mind and carefully ana lyzed he makes bold to say more:
 The reservoir which in the past sup piled the stream of national gayety has certainly fallen and threatens to dry up
 Leaders of the high society tell us that loud laughter is prohibited by its code of proprieties. The middle class. in which the imitation of social superiors grows into solemn cult has naturally adopted this idea from the upper class. At social entertainments you will find men and women who meet your playful challenge only with niggardiy giggIe which they instantly suppress. Poor distracted souls unable for a moment to free themselves from the chaos of social claims which haunts them.'"

THE EDELwEIss CRAZE.
Popular Flower as the Cause of Ale
 nine Accidents.

Some of the Alpine accidents. according to The Westminster Gazette. are due to the craze for ravaging the Alps of one of its most popular fowers--the eledweiss; and, since an enterprfsing Swiss firm has recently offered . good price for hundred weights of the plant. 1t will not be sur prising if the annual list of fatalities on the Swiss highlands Is this summer even longer than usual. The strange thing is that, while the white star of the edelweiss blooms happily under cultivation in the higher regions of Switzerland, and can just now be seen to perfection in front of many an Alpine guides chalet. growing in little square wooden boxes. it should tempt so many climbers onto the danger ous grass slopes near the peaks, whore it grows about the narrow and slippery goat tracks. But, of course. the romance which attaches to the lucky" flower in the minds of the Swiss themselves, and in that of all German reading nations, since Auerbach wove one of his stories round 1t, is lost unless you gather it where it has grown in the wilderness and on the edge of the abyss.

THE FRENCH NOVEL.
Comes Nearest to Being the Inter
 national Literature.

According to J. Novikow, the we'll known Russian writer, the international literature of the day. par excellence, Is the French. Certainly, 1t is so in one epartment-namely, fiction. One-hah of the copies of French novels printed are exported, and two thirds of historic and scientific works also cross the frontier. The latter, for the most part, supply those countries. in the words of M. Novi- kow, unable to provide for themselves ''un outlilIage intellectual complet'- namely, the twenty or thirty thousand volumes of history, criticism and science necessary for complete national devolep- ment. Poland, Servia, Bulgaria and Rou- mania, inter .alia, are in this position. works costing from 15,0O0 to 20000 francs in the bringing out being beyond the means of nationalities numbering A few million souls only. In Russia in 1894 1O,- 651 volumes only were published.

you know that the vital energies are

you believe that some watches-espe-
cially the cheaper ones-are similarly
affected:
You know j good matchmaker al

regulate a timepiece. That is because
the only way TO regulate it properly is
to compare it with a c~hronoIneter at
the same hour every day. Otherwise
the variations in the speed of the watch
will battle his efforts.

told III this. and l thought the idea alb.
surd. We were working late ,ne night
and he called my attention 10 a lot Of
watches that were regulated and ready
to deliver. 1t a near midnight, and
every watch was slow. The better
timepieces had Jagged behind some sec
onds. The cheaper watches were a
minute or more out Of the way. Next
morning every one of the lot was ex-
actly right
