IN Ew YORK. January 21.-New Or

as the port of exit for the en-
tire shipments of the international Har-
vester company of Chicago to South Rus
sian ports. New York being forsaken. not.
withstanding that the railroads operating
between Chicago and this port consider
ably cut their freight charges, and offered
quicker time in transit than hitherto ex-
listed.
Last season, In view of the heavy freight
cost from the agricultural machinery
plants in the west to New York. the slow
time made in delivery and the excessive
dock charges at this port, some Is 900 tons
were moved over the Illinois Central sys-
tenn to New Orleans for export to Black
sea ports. The experiment has been so
successful that nearly $4,000 tons will be
shipped via the Crescent City within the
next thirty days or so. The value of these
shipments will exceed $2,500.0OO.
Four steamers of the vogemann line
have already been called into requisition
for conveying the agricultural machinery
to Odessa and Novorossisk--the two prin-
cipal ports on the Black sea. One vessel,
the Goodwill, will leave New Orleans this
week with almost 5000 tons aboard; the
Nordkvalen will sail early in February
with cargo of 5000 tons; while the darkest
machinery cargo. both as regards tonnage
and financial worth that has ever left
the United States for foreign shores, will
be carried by the Madawaska, leaving
about the middle of February. This
steamship will stow away in her holds
very near to 10000 tons of reapers, now
ers, harvesters and binders; also Irvine
for ultimate use along the vast steppes
of the southern portion of the czar's do
mains and throughout Siberia

From the New York Press.
Marrying for money is as easy as CASH

to her friends to ride In carriage wher
they are walking.
A woman thinks she would lbe perfectly
contented If she could wear furs on the
Fourth of July and an open-work shirt
waist out sleighing.
Even the inquisitors never thought of
the exquisite torture Of giving a woman a
lot of money and claiming her in front

And yet the warning naves try to keep on

On bowling women, richly clad, whom youth

And in the country Mother Earth her good

Oh, would that l We're there to-day with
Johnny, digging worms.
The eager milionaires contend for all the
golden stores,
far-distant shores;
Around the pit where hopes are wrecked
and hearts are crushed the cries
OF men who seem half frenzied in crazy
chorus rise,
While statesmen eloquently name the dam
gers We should shun,
And irony and scoru are heaped upon them
when they've done.
The world is full ol trouble. there are wars
and more to come,
And many man who proudly boasts to-
morrow shall DE dumb;
Ambition goads the eager crowds; the
judge, in SOmber gown,
Who yesterday was cheered, to-day Is moot
ed through the town;
From small to great we toll and let our
masters name the terms,
And envy care-free Johnny who is out
there digging worms.

FOR UNFRAMED NURSES.
There Are Certain Details of Caring
for the Sick Which Should
Be Memorized.

In these days of trained nurses less
attention is paid to the training of the
daughters of the household in the care
of the sick than in old-fashioned times,
when trained nurses were unknown and
hired nurses never resorted to except
in extreme cases. Yet every woman
ought to have at least some knowledge
of sick room lore to enable her to meet
emergencies when trained nurse can
not be found, and those who understand
little about nursing the sick should at
tend lectures on the subject whenever
possible, says the New York Tribune.
Cleanliness and method are, of course,
the first essentials of nursing. The room
must be Systematically cared for, yet in
such manner as not to disturb the pa
tient. Complete ventilation is neces-
sity. In winter an open fire should, if
possible, be kept burning in the sick
room, as this is the most wholesome way
OF heating room and also ventilating it
thoroughly. The sick room should be
kept at an even temperature Sixty-fve
or 70 seventy degrees is the correct
one in most cases; but the physician
should be consulted in this matter, as in
some forms of disease a higher and in
others lower temperature is required.
Towels and bed linen to be used by the
sick should in winter be warmed and
aired thoroughly after they are taken
out of the linen closet.
In cases of infectious disease it is i'm
portant to have disinfecting fluid to
I use in cleaning china, clothing, bedding
and other articles for the sick room. All
articles to be Numbered should be wrung
out in this fluid and then flung out of the
window before being carried through the
house. Nothing used in the room
should be hung out of doors on clothes
line unless it has first been disinfected.
/ If everything is disirfected before it is
taken from the room the contagion can
be kept from the rest of the house. A
sheet wrung out in weak solution OF
carbolic acid or some other disinfectant
and hung just outside the door of the
room will do much to prevent the escape
of infected dust A cap that completely
covers the hair should be worn by the
woman who cares for person with a
contagious disease, and her gowns
should be of light material and simply
made, so that they can be easily disin-
fected and put through the washtub once
or twice a week.

After several hours he stepped into
a saloon near the Rock Island depot,
where his acquaintance was flashing a
$40 bill and calling loudly for the house
to drink with him. Stepping up, OFT
remarked that he would take the money,
and called on the man to hand over the
pocketbook. This the stranger refused
to do until the bartender took the wallet
and asked OFT to prove it was his prop
erty. This he did by telling the amount.
date and place Of issue of certain drafts.
The stranger then turned over the wal.
let.
Overjoyed at regaining his lost prop
erty, OFT declined to prosecute his new
found friend, and returned to Iowa Falls,
where he related his exciting chase of
10 hours in search of lost fortune that
represented the labor and savings of
years.

THE CHARM OF WOMAN.
When She Is Animated and Bright
Is the Time It Is Most
Apparent.

When is woman most charming?
That is a question that takes good deal
of answering. 1t is question am try
ing to answer from one years end to an
other. writes correspondent, and on
which l would put in the following
words for the American Queen readers:
A woman is most charming when she is
tender and sympathetic. She may dazzle
when she is merry, but when she is gen.
tie and full of sympathy she enhances a
mans heart. When her voice takes a
softened tone and her eyes look words
that her lips hesitate to speak, then, if
she only knew her power, it would be a
bad time for the world at large, for she
could do what she chose, only she never
does know it. Probably woman charms
most when she is unconscious of it. The
very Inconsistencies is a part of the
charm.
A woman is most charming when she
is animated and bright A tear may
prove pity, but it is smile that COM
mands admiration. But she must not
be forever sparkling. She must have her
sober moments, if only to throw into
high relief the moments when she is
gay.
A woman is most charming when she
is good natured. Bad temper never
charmed. Good temper is an attraction
even in plain woman. When woman
has that in addition to her qualities,
when she is natural in her manners,
unconscious, animated, tender, and gen.
tie. then indeed is she charming to all
the world.
Sometimes woman possesses a
quality known as fascination, which no
one has ever yet been able to define-a
quality outside of and beyond all these
attractions. and Independent of them to
| the ordinary eye. But even without this
fascination. very good substitute may
be formed from the qualities just count
ed up. and many a woman can cultivate
these graces and mai herself charming
in the eyes of all who know her.
