A Methodist Preacher Makes an Ept-
gram Concerning Them.
People celebrate the discovery of
new fact in nature. They grow elo
quent over the invention of a new piece
of machinery. They heap riches in
the lap of the man who puts on the
market a new breakfast food Why
should they not pay some slight tribute
to the author of a new epigram? asks
the Rutland (Vt) News.
If the saying express great truth
In few words, If it shine with the CLINT
of homely humor, if it's appeal be
broad and general, so may it be de-
cided whether the epigrammatic offer
ing be genuine or only clever imita.
ton.
Apply these standards to the rough
and uncut, yet precious, phrase which
lies imbedded in the speech of a plain
Methodist minister from the up state
counties OF New York and Vermont.
delivered the other day before the con-
ference Of his brethren in this district.
He was telling Of the hard work and
small pay which are the lot of him
self and his fellows in the poorer dis
tricts Of the country. And he closed
with this tremendous question, How
shall a man support sealskin wife
on a muskrat income? The epigram
may provoke smile, perhaps, but that
same question, never before SO well
put, has vexed many other men, in and
out Of the ministry. Attempts to an
swer it have ended before now in the
penitentiary. 1t is that question, If
authorities are to be believed, which
is responsible for the increasing num-
Der Of bachelors, particularly in the
cities, and for the corresponding in
crease in the number of middle aged
spinsters. 1t is question which
might, possibly, be proftably debated
by some of the women's clubs.
Are too many girls Of the present day
being reared in a way which fits them
only to be 'sealskin wives?" And
where shall the young man with a
''muskrat income look for a proper
helpmate?
At any rate, the new epigram cuts
deep and raises serious questions. 1t
deserves a permanent place in the
archives Of the English language,
alongside that other classic, but still
sparkling, saying, which describes the
plight of the unfortunate youth who
acquired 'a champagne appetite with
a beer income" 1t is its companion

Styles In Women's Belts.

'"There is always something new in
women's BELTS" said Howard Cohen TO
a reporter of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
II have come here (Milwaukee) with
samples of 341 kinds, some of them
new and some of them belts that have
been in style for seasons. The staple
belt for this season will be in soft
fabrics, and in a few days glove belt,
made of kid and stitched to resemble
the back of a glove, with pearl clasps,
like French glove, will be put on the
market The most startling, ultra nov
ell fad will be of canvas, silk lined and
marked in Bulgarian designs. How
long these extreme fads will be in
style would be difficult to forecast, for
the belt is the portion Of woman's at
tire which usually exhibits most Of her
eccentricities.

FOUNDER OF RED CROSS.
BATTLE of Hull Rum Induced Miss
Clara Ba rton to Start Society.

HEsattIe of Hull Rum Induced Miss
Clara Ba to Start Society.
Miss Clara Barton, who has resigned
e1he presidency Of the American Red
Gross society, is in her seventy-fourth
year and was a clerk in the pension
lEsureau at Washington at the outbreak
of the civil war. says the New York
Herald. After the disastrous fight at
sl8ull Run, in which the Sixth MaSSa-
ehusetts-a regiment from her own
state and in which she had many
-'Eriends-met with severe losses, Miss
48artOn hurried to the field of battle
and aided in the care of the wounded.
Realizing that an organization Of
BONE kind or other to nurse the wound
sd soldiers was becoming daily more
Snd more necessary, she organized
band of resolute women, whose names
have gone down in history for their
fortitude and courage during the four
Song years of the war.
Inspired by her work for the wound
ed soldiers and aided by the provisions
af the Geneva conference in 1864, Miss
Barton at the close of the war directed
sill her efforts to the organization Of
me Red Cross society and was elected
its first president in 1881.
Since that time she has been actively
engaged at the head of the members
OF her society, which has spread to the
Earliest corners of the globe, in the
care of the dead and wounded in war,
famine and disasters of every descrip-
lion.
In 1898 she added to her laurels and
made the lot of the American soldier il
Cuba a more bearable one, and it IS
eEssaid that many of those who were
wounded or taken sick during the
Cuban campaign owed their lives to
z97e careful nursing of Miss Clara Bar
~1on's Red Cross band Of nurses, who
accompanied the army.

HAIRDRESSlNG FEES FOR WAR

Japanese Women to ForegO EIabo-
rate Coiffures to Help Their Land.
In time of war there is always a
large number Of women who are con-
sumed with a desire to serve their
country and greatly CALLED by their
limited opportunities for doing so. Jap
anese women are much more restricted
in this respect than the women of west
ern countries, says Home Notes. They
cannot even nurse the wounded onsthe
field. Yet they have found a way of
rendering a substantial service to their
country. They are combining to do
without the services Of hairdressers as
long as the war lasts and will give the
money so saved to the government for
use in carrying on the war.
In America this would be no great
sacrifice, nor would the financial pro-
ceeds be of much consequence, but in
Japan hairdressing is a fine art, and
the "artist in hair" visits customers at
regular intervals and arranges their
dark and glossy tresses in a becoming
manner. The arrangement shows their
condition, for young girls, marriagea-
BILE maidens, wives and widows all
have their special style Of couture. The
cost of the process is about Is cents
and, though it is performed only once
q week, the number of women who
propose to forego hairdressing for pa
triotic reasons is so large that it is
hoped their self sacrifice may produce
100000 monthly to be spent on the
war

ANIMAL LANGUAGE.
Bounds and Gestures That Take the
Place of Speech.


Place of Speech.
A sound Or gesture made by an ami
NAL under any mental or emotional
impression and calling out a similar
one in another animal is an element
Of language. When the rabbit quickly
beats the ground, it's fellow rabbits
know that there is danger somewhere,
and they take action accordingly. That
is rabbit language. When the hunter
initiates the rabbit and thus conveys
the same ideas, he is speaking the
rabbit language for the time being
Many animals use signs, which Of
course are understood through the
eyes. The ants converse by touching
antenna and feet Many insects rub
the elytra. This is animal language
In its simplest form. It expresses but
few ideas. But there are animals
which are capable of modulating their
"voices."
Even the common rabbits, which
seem to be mute, are constantly max
ing sounds, which little observation
will soon discover to be ever changing
in volume, meditation, etc. Much of
this method of communication changes
when the animal is brought into civ
iiZatiOn from the wild state. The wild
dog, for instance, barks very little
when in freedom. How the household
dog barks and is able to express him.

aBOYS FROM CITY TO FARM

TgEhe Old Order of Things TO Be Re-
wersed. Professor Galloway Says.
Professor B. 7. Galloway, chief of
1.-The plant industry bureau OF the de-
Tgartment of agriculture, predicts that
Farming Of the future will be done by
boys from the big cities, says an edito-
rial writer in the Minneapolis Journal
He calls attention to the fact that the
movement Of the boys and young men
s&ron country to city has been stopping
and that the tendency now is from
~ity to country.
Professor Galloway is a great be-
lever in the possibilities of scientific
Farming. He knows score of ways in
which old farms which are worthless
when worked according to old time
worn methods may be made veritable
gold mines by the application of a lit
dle sense and industry. He his made
actual experiments in number OF
cases in the vicinity of Washington
land can point to farms which few
years ago could be bought for the tax
LES, or little more and which now are
worth small fortunes and are yielding
all the way from $4,000 to $4,000
year. These opportunities, Professor
Galloway thinks, will be appreciated
more and more by young men who find
1T hard to get on in the big cities, and
7Gney will go east and take up farms.
It would be a strange thing indeed if
II should come to pass that young ex-
E3ert farmers from the west, where the
best methods of agriculture are being
developed, should go east to apply
2chem to the abandoned farms of New
England and Virginia and reclaim
those now barren acres to profitable
ausbandry.
As for the movements of city boys to
Z he country of which Professor Gallo
way speaks, we have examples of that
tendency in our own state There has
been such a pressure for accommoda
lions in the classrooms Of the school or
agriculture from the cities that they
lhave been obliged in justice to the real
farmers boys and girls, for whom the
school was established, to deny to any
applicant the privilege of enrolment
as pupil who has not resided at least
xix months on farm.
