Rev. Dr.. Mongan Dix, pastor Of
Trinity church, New York, IN an in-
.erview upon a subject which seems
to be causing him trouble, viz. "Wos
man. Is reported to have said
81 am sick at heart over the wo-
man. Men used to regard woman
with such reverence. When / was
a boy all buys Of generous spirit
looked up to her. II these days the
woman have come dowo 10 our level,
they were womanlY and now they
ceasing to be. Nowadays they talk
like men and do all things that men
do. II there is anything that men
despise Il is a mannish woman. AL
this comes from leaving the womanly
things Of life and invading the sphere
Of men. Woman should w vote
or be debtors, lawyers or ministers"
II is safe to say that DIR. Dix is no
more sick at heart over the woman
than the women are sick at heart
over such men as he who fought
every step in the progress Of woman
from learning to read aRd write TO
having the ballot. One would inn
agine from the u~tterances of some Of
these men that the acme Of all evil
was doing anything like a man.
Had DR.. Dix lived a century ago
he would have written as did DIR.
Gregory who was considered stand
ard authority at that time upon fe-
male propriety. In his book euti-
tied, Legacy to My Daughters,
he said:- eff you happen to have
any learning, keep It a profound Sc
eret, especially from men, who look
with a jealous malignant eye on a
woman of a cultured understanding.
He also said "Should you happen
by nature to possess a robust con-
stitution assimilale such sickly del
icacy as IS necessary to the female
charm"
In strong contrast to these utter
ances of DR.. Dix we are cheered by
those of Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills, pastor OF Plymouth church,
Brooklyn given at about the same
time. DR.. Hills said in parts
"Women in spite of mans refus'
al to give them the rights and priv
leges to which they are entitled, are
today in r45 branches of bushes:
and in instances showing more abil-
ity than the men,
In fifty years the women will
know more than the men. They
have more time to reae and stud
and they are improving their time
Eventually they win vote themselve
and tell the men whom to vote for
There is a lesson of rebuke in thi
tor men.

The talk Of nominating Cyrus +.
walbndge for vice president next
year is all night and we hope such a
recognition OF the state casting the
fifth largest republican vote in the
country will be taken, but we much
prefer to have him head the State
Republican ticket for Governor.
He Is one of the first citizens Of the
state. A man OF excellent executive
ability, pure, clean aud true as the

With him as standard bearer an ag-

New Cereal Industry Represents In

New Cereal Industry Represents In
 vestment of Immense Sum-,
 Battle Creek, Mich, helps to digest food for millions of people scattered over the world, Every day the rail- ways bring to it's ravenous grain eleva- tors, from the western farms, thou sands of bushels of wheat and corn, and every day long train-load of cooked cereal foods leaves the city for the worlds markets. The stream of raw grain, as it flows through the mills, is converted, by various cooking pro- cesses, into foods for epicures and in valids-foods that few years ago were unreard of. Out of the Utopian dreams of dietists a clear-cut idea has crystal lized, upon which there has been builded new industry. Physicians in their laboratories converted indigesti- ble cereals into foods that they could give to invalids under their care; now, scores of factories on the borders of the wheat country are producing millions of packages of semi digested food for the worlds breakfast. Big plants for preparing a variety of breakfast foods are situated in St. Louis Niagara Falls and Buffalo, and smaller places near the great wheat belt keep up an untir- ing variety. This novel industry has furnished a new field of operations for

men of money, and has given employ ment to many skilled male and female workers. It has awakened improved scientific ideas in cooking, and man or woman, to-day, who can invent a method of presenting new breakfast food will be listened to eagerly. Amer ican breakfast foods" have travelled around the world in the wake of Amer ican grain ships, and American break lasts are now to be had in Cape Town or Honkgong or Cairo.
 To create 8 hundred million dollar industry in ten years, or to find mar ket for the vast product of this new industry, is distinctively American achievement. It is striking illustra- tion of the vigor of the country's com mercial vitality. The story of the rise of the cereal industry is a story of in ventive genius, mechanical dexterity, and commercial daring, It needed men of lively imagination and quick percep- ton to discern the industrial possibili- ties of a medical dreamer's hobby; it needed men of mechanical skill to ern- body a laboratory idea in maze. of
 machinery Indt Woulu eeolohlleaiS handle thousands of bushels of fscereals day; but, more than this, it needed men of ingenuity and daring to put the product on the market and persuade millions of people to buy it, A staple like iron or oil can be sold by simply taking it to the mart, but a new

The eighty million prosperous people within three days ride of Chicago afford the richest market in the world for an arti- ele of merit, and the secret of commer- ciaI success lies in making these eighty millions know what you have for sale. h--Frank Fayant in Success +

 tiger CT leopaTd-partieuiaFiy the lat ter-ereeps up stealthily. crouches, draws back when faced, and then. when a victims guard is relaxed, gives a mighty leap. Kind treatment has but slight effect upon the creatures of the forests. Their deep feeling of protest against a life that is most unnatural to them cannot be banished by Jumps of sugar and friendly pats.
 The process of subjugation is. of course. very gradual one. 4 trainers first step is to make himself known in a pleasant way to his new pupil. He attends to its feeding for week or so, stands by it's cage talking to it, and opens the door a little, rubbing it's head cautiously if it approaches. Fi- nally, when the animal has become ac- customed to his presence. he enters the cage, being as unobtrusive as possible, so as not to frighten or irritate his host. For an hour or more at a time he may sit in the cage, reading, or playing with the animal if he dares. A trainers next move is usually to give the pupil a taste of his power. A rope is fastened 70 it's neck and passed around tw1 or three bars of the cage. The animal is given plenty of room in which to move, but when it makes a leap at the trainer, who has become more dictatorial in his manner: than before, it is pulled up short. This practice is .resorted to so often during the preliminary training that the beast loses confidence in its powers. A whip ping now and then is also necessary. When an animal is well under control it is taken from it's cage into the arena, where instruction in tricks begins. It is first made to take and retain the place assigned to it. On its seat at the side of the big cage, meat is placed. The animal learns that, on entering, it will find sood there. and soon acquires a habit of going voluntarily to its place. Then it must be taught to keep it's seat. When it jumps down without be- ing called, 1t is punished a little and forced back. At length 1t comes to re- alize that it can have no peace except on it's own perch. and so itfstays there. The same general tactics are used in teaching animals their positions on pyramids and other formations.--J. Il: Welch in the May Success.

Some Difficulties That are Encoun- ~ tered in the Process.
 Wildcats, tigers, jaguars, partners and Ieopards offer the greatest menace to their trainers. These are the ani- mals' that appear to long most ardently to,stalk their prey and utter their night cries in their native haunts. Almost necessarily they swing back and forth behind the bars, peering over the heads of the spectators with wild eyes that seem to be trying to discern the forest beyond the confines of their prison house. Besides their restlessness, a reason why the big beasts of the cat family are considered more, dangerous than the others is found in their decep-
 tive methods of attack. Lions and bears meet their enemies boldly, but a

Olin L. Lyman's '"The Trail of the Grand Seigneur," published by the New Amsterdam Book Company, New York, is a story of rare interest, readable, graphic and enjoyable. and reminds in, it's scenes and legends of forest life in the days just prior to and during the war of 1872 of Fenimore Cooper's fa- nous stories. It is finely written tale brim full of adventurous deeds, hair breadth escapes and dramatic situa- tions, with delightful love story in- terwoven. The scenes are laid in Sack ett's Harbor and vicinity and in the northern tier of counties of New York state, and that section generally, with a temporary transfer across the border of the St. Lawrence into Canada. Yan- kees, French, English and Indians fig ure in the development of the plot. The territory dealt with is rich in TO- mantle historical traditions, which form a fine background for the story. The introduction of the characters of M. De Montefort and his daughter, Renee, the French refugees who figure l in the book, was suggested to the au- l thor through a bona ffde historical fact. | Among the many who were driven I from France during the Terror were nobleman and his daughter, the latter
 a mere child. The Frenchman quilted
 his disturbed country for these shores 1 with great difficulty, taking his child,
 who had been committed to a convent
 for safe keeping. They removed to rude cabin in the all but unbroken will l derness of northern New York, the mo- | bleman having supervision of some l large forest holdings for some French 1 compatriots. The daughter cheerfully shared his years of exile and performed | the domestic tasks. Rowing hunters and trappers knew the cabin well,
 where they were most hospitably enter tained, being charmed with the exqui- site beauty and grace of the daughter, who finally married young French man and thereafter lived little south of the present village of Deer River. Her father made his home with her af- ter her marriage, and died there in 1880.
 He was man of fervent piety spend- ing much of his time on his knees in
 prayer After he was dead, the skin
 upon his knees was found to be cal
 loused--it was hardened to the bone by almost constant kneeling.
 ! The book is well printed and is beau-
 tifully illustrated, with color plates.
