LILLIAN RUssEL's SUMMER.
Plenty of Systematic Exercise in 1t to

One way of exercising TO the best

that she takes neither too much nor

CASTE is DEAD IN FRANCE.
Women There Seem to Have Control
LING Hand in Mercantile Life.

Contemporary Review.-The stats
teal returns of money devolving by
inheritance show a total for France
nearly thirty times as great as those
for England, Austria or Germany.
1t is not uncommon in England to re-
ceive money by legacy; in Hungary
the legacy has become so fabulous as
tc be the stock subject for gibes; but
ia France the acquisition OF riches by
bequest is so common as to be almost
the rule. There is a hint of the great
wealth of France in the peasant
doweries up from $4,000 to $4,000,
which are by no means uncommon.
Enter the principal cafe of some de-
partmental capital and watch those
two men playing billiards who appear
to be on a footing of perfect familiar
ity. You would hardly guess, for
there is certainly ne distinction of
attire, that the one is living on his
income of $4,000 year and the other
is still a struggling chemist TIE
barriers of class and caste have been
leveled to the uttermost in France.
People who have only seen England
and America can with difficulty real
ize how thoroughly the FrenchwOman
pervades every detail of family life.
Nothing is done without her consent
and counsel. In business she has her
say. and many of the great CONNER
cial houses trace their descent in the
feminine line. 1t is the Frenchwoman
who rules from the counting-room,
who keeps the books, who sees the
travellers.
Those who would wish for a tangi-
BILE concrete proof of the Frenchwom-
ans supreme Importance should re-
member one striking feature of
French cities-the frequency with
which on shop signs the names of
husband and wife are coupled togeth-
er and the common occurrence Of wild
ow's names in the same way.
The peacefulness of France is OUt
surface deep. and she only waits an
occasion to avenge the disgrace of
the war of 1870 She has obeyed the
behest of Gambetta: Speak of it
never; think of it always"

The Meek and LowIy Bulldog.

The bulldog of today is quite a diff
ferent animal from the one which earn
ed his name and fame from his proves
in the bull-baiting ring in times past.
Then IL was what the dog could do,
and not how he looked, that decideS
his merits. Now it is usually appear
ance alone which decides, and we have
a vastly different dog not only in ap-
pearance, but also in disposition. In
deed, one objection against the bull
dog is his "obtrusive affectionateness."
Among the vOtaries of the bulldog are
many ladies, who would not for a mo-
men think of taking up with fighting
dogs, and if the opportunity is accepted
to see bulldogs in a judging ring you
will note no such anxiety on the part
of the holders of the chain to keep
their charges apart, as in a great many
breeds. You will also see that the
judge handles them with no precau-
ton of the advanced fist as a prelimi-

ADVANCE IN "JAP" PHARMACY.
Doctors Highly Educated, but people
Cling to Nostrums and Charms.

Japanese doctors and druggists are
said to have reached a higher standard
than the world has given them credit
for.
Japanese druggists are of two
classes, the one certificated and
qualified to compound medicines, the
other dealing in drugs and sundries.
The native doctors for the most part
dispense their own medicines, though
few write prescriptions only, these
latter Tor the most part having
studied in Germany and holding a
university degree. The metric sys-
tenn is used for both weights and
measures. There is a considerable
popular demand for household
remedies, and many of these cor.
respond exactly with those which have
here long since fallen into disuse.
Thus snakes, lizards, frogs, crabs and
other animals are kept in dried cOndi-
ton in the native drug stores, and en-
Joy more or less repute as medicinal
agents.
Face paints and powders and
various dentifrices are much in vogue.
and plasters to relieve headache and
neuralgia are largely employed. Mas
sage is used in rheumatism and in
nervous affections, and is to a large
extent in the hands of the blind. The
manufacture of mineral waters is
carefully supervised by the author
tiles, and fines are inflicted in any
case where the official standard of
purity is departed from.-Chemist and
Druggist.

UNITED STATES SIGNAL Off.
GER TO INSTALL ONE.
LOCATION AT UNIVERSITY
Great Convenience to Dane County
Farmers-But Three Offices in
Wisconsin-Will Be in Operation
Within a Week-SerVice Belongs
to Agricultural Department.


MduISOu, aug. D.
]. L. Bartlett of La Crosse, observ-
er in the United States signal serv-
ice, is here for the purpose of in
stalling a station of that government
department in Madison. There are
but three stations in Wisconsin, one
at La Crosse, another at Green Bay
and a third at Milwaukee. Mr.. Bart
lett was in consultation with Prof
George G. COmstock yesterday and
they spent the morning looking for a
suitable location. 1t is the intention
to house the station at the univer-
sity but it is a question whether per-
manent quarters can be found for it
at once. 1t is the hope of both
have it placed in at least temporary
quarters within a week Weather
maps will be printed and general
meteorological observation taken.
The United States signal service is
of immense value to the agricultural
interests of the country. Within a
few hours all atmospheric changes in
any one section of the nation can be
reported to all other sections. The
farmers of Dane county will soon be
able to get their weather informa-
ton in a much shorter time than
they previously did, for it had to
travel from the three stations in the
state before mentioned, but now
they can get it in a few hours from
the Madison Office.
The United States weather bureau
has been part of the department of
agriculture since 1891, when 1t was
taken away from the war depart
ment. Prof. Mark w. Harrington
was the first chief of the bureau.
He was succeeded in 1895 by Prof.
Willis L. Moore. who was formerly in
charge of the Milwaukee station.

ball"
There isn't a lot of fun in that
game, but there is more exercise for
the muscles of the human anatomy
than almost any other kind of exer-
ton affords, and it is as well suited
for women as men. 1t consists of
passing a big rubber ball which is
larger than a football back and forth
between two persons in all sorts of
positions. 1t takes a good husky man

Miss Russell and her trainer keep
at it on lawn in the back of her
house until they are both winded.
When the exercise period is over the
actress trips into the house, doffs her

Many of the Bay Ridge folks who
have noticed the regularity with
which Miss Russell and her trainer
get to work have been astonished at
the strenuous summer she puts in,
but they see its results already. So

ern Wisconsin, died at his home yes
terday at 5:45 in the afternoon. He

chasing government land in the town
of Christiana at Cambridge, now a vii

GIRLS FROM PORTO RICO.
Number Coming to Work in United
States and Others VIII Follow.

There was a sad but plucky con.
tingent of Porto Rican girls on board
the San Juan as she steamed out of
the harbor recently, bound for New
Orleans, from where they will proceed
to st. Louis to begin an independent
struggle for their livelihood. Their
families and friends were IS visibly
affected. The enterprising and fear.
less girls, the oldest perhaps not over
10 years old, numbered twenty-three.
Contracts have been made with
Them by Francis Lynch, the rep.
resentaive Of a st. Louis cordage com,
pany, to give employment to the
girls in their factories, as weavers or
in any other branch of the trade for
which the girls may show particular
aptitude. The company has bound
itself to pay for their passage from
their respective homes in the island
to st. Louis. In that city they will
be lodged in comfortable and modern
quarters and provided with table
board and other necessities. In ad.
dition to this, they will be paid 90
cents day, which will be increased
as the girls become more expert or
enter another department in the
factory. The firm did not place any
stipulated time in their contracts ex.
cept as to guarantee them work for
as long a period as they wished to re-
main.
The company has not, however, pro-
vided against the whims or change OF
mind of any of the girls. If any one
finds after being there a short zine
that she cannot stay she has the
privilege of resigning her position.
The company has no hold on her what
soever. The purpose of securing Por-
to Rican labor is due to a certain con
fidence that the people of this island
have a natural fitness for this kind OF
work.
The venture is wholly experimental,
but if il proves satisfactory more PEG
pie will be taken to st. Louis.-San
Juan News.
