WoMANLY MANNIsHNEss.
Sort of Creature Modern Girls Are
Turning Into.

From the London Telegraph.
The proper thing to give to girl of to-
day, we are told, is walking stick or
cigarette case or a match box. Something
busfness-Hke and masculine is her only JOY
She scorns delights and lives laborious days
though why this should be considered
masculine habit the accusers do not ex-
plain. However, it will be readily admit
ted, especially by men who have played
mixed hockey, that the girl hockey player
does scorn delights with great zeal. And
hockey, so they say, now has women de-
votes numerous as the sands of the shore.
The consumption of arnica is largely on
the increase
While the woman Of today, and still more
the woman Of tomorrow, thus devotes her
daylight hours to the sports which have
made her brothers the noble creatures they
are, her nights, too are strenuous. No Ion
ger does the long suffering piano claim
her after dinner hours $50 they say-with
less truth than one could wish). No longer
are the theater and the ball room terres-
trial heaven. The woman de ne nos jolrs
gives her time to serious matters. She goes
In her hundreds and thousands $50 they

with magic lantern slides, but lectures that
provide intellectual oatmeal porridge. Lee
lures which are, speaking aphoriea,ly,
bone-making food, lectures on the economic
system of the middle ages and the meta
puySiC VI the Will ana Hne large Things OF
that kind. So say the scaremongers Aud
thereafter enthusiastically inquire "if all
this does not make women into men, what
does 1t do?'
1t seems likely to make them, not into
men, but into the virtuous heroes of uni
versity novels, the wonderful creatures who
distribute their lives between playing
games and studying hard, and ultimately
die of consumption, but who are not, strict
ly speaking, men. So let us hope that things
are not as bad as the scaremongers say.
The worst of a scaremonger is that he
frightens people away from what Is good as
well as what Is bad. 1t Is doubtless posi-
BILE to be too strenuous for your own good,
as well as for other peoples comfort. Too
fierce devotion to hockey means imme-
date havoc for other peoples anatomy, and
ultimately for your own. Too fierce deyc-
ton to the metaphysic of the will-or some-
thing of that solid kind-wfll mean that such
mundane matters as dinner go to chaos,
and that the student ceases to be human.
But after all most of US are not so strenu-
GUS that we need to be warned to take
things easy. Quite otherwise.
II you want a place where really valu-
able feminine accomplishments are held IN
esteem, you should go to Canton. The Chi
nese there have recently celebrated the
festival of the spinning maiden and the
cowherd. 1t sounds gay. Thereat one girl
OF sixteen, with a needle in one hand and
thread In the other, knelt before the shrine
of the star goddess and threaded the needle
behind her head. She was at once fnun-
dated with offers of marriage So easily
pleased is the simple Chinaman.

"Sweets."

From the Baltimore Sun.
An exhibition at the Royal Agricultural
Hall, London, has attracted much attention
to candy-"sweets," the English call it
and to the enormous development the art of
candymaking has had In recent years The
London Telegraph gives column to a his
tory of Sweets" showing that candy has
ceased to be a reward merely for children
who have been good" but in some of It's
varieties has become recognized article Of
diet. Pure sugar, in fact. in recent times
has attained distinguished position in the
opinion of scientific hygienists as neces-
sity. The starch contained In bread and
vegetables is converted, we are told, into
is assimilated. Sugar, accordingly, Is a
wholesome foodstuff for adults, as well as
children. II eaten in moderate quantities.
Experiments made in the German army
have proved that few Jumps Of sugar
added to the soldiers diet increase his
strength and endurance when long march
is to be made. There are, OF course, objec-
tons to some of the candies sold to the pub
lic Candies adulterated with drugs and
dyes are injurious. Some of the cheaper
candles consist largely Of worthless sub
stances added to give weight and bulk
substances that cannot be digested by
weak stomach. Not a few of them contain,
it is said. no sugar at all, but consist Of
dextrine, -four, plaster of paris and flavor
ing matter. But no one is obliged to buy
these deleterious and highly decorated
sweets. Sugar Is so cheap nowadays that
good candy can be made and sold at very
low price A pure candy ought to be in
easy reach Of every careful person.
Fashions in sweets are constantly chang
ing. A hundred years ago toffee and butter
scotch were in favor. Fifty years later
Paris taught the world the merits of bon
bons. French candies" still enjoy a GER
tain prestige, especially with those who
value color, flavor and style more than
purity. Satin" or Swiss" candy came
next, Germany and Austria leading In Its
manufacture. The, Swiss are said to have
educated the west In the art Of CONNECTIONS,
but France. England and the United States
now compete on equal terms. Switzerland
was the pioneer in making chocolate. which
is the fashionable sweet at the present time.
That country utilized her water powers to

is attempted, 1t is said, without including
chocolate in the dietary Variety Of product
seems to be the ambition of up-to-date con-
fectioners. So delicious are some Of their
creations that not even the professional
hygienist or philosopher can resist their Sc

Are We Money-Madp

We are not SO universally money-mad az
we may SEEM The elder Agassiz was not
the only man in this country who ever felt
that he had not time to make money. The
longing for riches is not universally a pre-
dominant passion. Thousands OF men feel
that money-getting is not primarily their
calling, and would not leave the work they
love and pay the price in time and concern

offered to them of fortune honestly won.
The man in whom the money-hunger is SO
strong and effectual that he is willing to
devote his life to satisfying 1t is very
exceptional man. Most of us hate to save,
and the pleasure or profit of the hour looks
bigger to US than those of the remote fu-
Mre. Moreover, to almost all the leading

COURT ANNULS AWARD
UNION STATION LAND DAMAGES
TO BE REAPPRAIsED.

Justice Gould of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia today. by consent
of Attorneys R. Golden Donaldson, F. G.
Coldren, julius I. Peyser and T. p. Meyers,
representatives of the owners of the land
on California street between LIST and I'd
streets northeast, to be condemned for a
plaza or circle, around the union railroad
station, and of A. Leftwich Sinclair, spe-
cfal counsel for the District, representing
the District Commissioners, signed an or
der vaeating, annulling and setting aside
the report and award of the appraisers re-
turned to the court November 10 last The
court appointed Messrs. Albert A. Wilson,
James F. Oyster and William T. GaIliher
as commission to reappraise the land in
question.
The commission whose apprasement was
set aside by the court was composed Of
Messrs Thomas W. Smith, William A. H.
Church and Samuel Bensinger. The Dis
trict Commissioners filed objections to the
appraisement and made application to JUS
tce Gould for a jury trial. After lengthy
argument by the attorneys mentioned,
Justice Gould held that, under the law,
while the District could abandon the pro-
ceedings and reinstitute proceedings to
condemn the land, 1t did not have the right
to a jury trial. and the court accordingly
refused the Commissioners application. It
is understood that the order setting aside
the appraisement of Messrs. Smith, Church
and Bensinger Is the result of compro-
mise effected between the land owners and
the Commissioners, and was passed by the
court without prejudice to the rights Of any
of the parties concerned in the matter.

MRS. oELRlcHs' BIG EARNINGS.

From the New York American.
 Friends of Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, one of the most-talked-of women in this country, learned yesterday that she has made SEQ, O00,OOO since she revoked the power of attorney given to her husband in 1897 to manage her business affairs. She is pursuing the same business tac- tics that have been so successful, and 1t is believed the time Is near at hand when she will be the richest woman in the world.
 Mrs. Hermann Ooelrichs, daughter Of ter of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt and the most active, progressive and origi- nal woman in society, is worth $30 GOO, GOO. 'rwo-thirds of this she has earned her self by managing her own affairs. In 1897 she gave her husband power of at torney permitting him to control all her business affairs. Under his wise super vision the wealth of Mrs. Oelrichs in- creased between her income and her ex- pensese. In November, 1903.

 She bought fine residence at Newport and started to lead the social set in that watering place. Mrs Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs Ogden Goelet, and, on one occasion,
 the Baroness Seilliere, joined in resisting

 a programme of entertainments that she soon overcame the opposition. Nobody could resist the temptation of attending her affairs.
