number of distinguished Americans
this question::
"What in your opinion is the most
desirable thing to be hoped for by
the American people during tt : four
years of President Roosevelt's ad-

1t prints their replies, the gist OF
which appears below, except that
where more than one desirable thing
is mentioned only that first named is
here given as the most desirable:
w. J. Bryan-A government OF
"equal rights to all and special privi-

nal.

Making a Business.

One who has had experience and
thoroughly understands the business
can make the poultry business pro-
htable almost anywhere. One who
has had no experience should be very
careful. The following from the
Southern .Agriculsurist is very good
advice:
A reader who is much Interested
in building up poultry farm in the
south says that he has eighty acres
of land located on a main line Of rail
road between :wo cities Of "o,ooo and
10000 inhabitants. He says the I'D
ture of the soil is dead and red, but
that clover will grow rankly on it
There are few springs on the hill
side that NAV be used to advantage
This man wants to start into the egg
business and asks how many lncu-
bators and how many hundred head
OF good pullets ne shouiu O''S ~
start with.
He has one OF the essential points
of success, for he wants nothing but
rure-bred stock 70 work with. White
Leghorns are the fowls he wants to
use in this egg business.
He should not start with incu5a-
tors, but with one incubator and a
pen of ten or twelve pu!iets and a
cockerel. His incubator and brooder
can be bought this winter and he can
proftably put in some fine trying to
hatch "store eggs" or those he can
buy up among the farmers near his
small suburban home. He does no;
live on the. farm nov. but in 4 sinai:

GIRLS OCCUPATIONS.
Uses to Which Radcliffe Graduates
Put Their Education.

Light is thrown on the way girls
put a college education to use nova
days by an examination recently
made of the records of graduates Of
Radcliffe college, the women's instltu-
ton ofiliated with Harvard. Natur-
ally it would be expected that young
women trained as they are at Rad
clife, where the courses, teachers, eN-
aminations and general requirements
for degrees are exactly similar tc
those of the mems big universities,
would go into teaching or other pro-
fessional work almost exclusively.
While it is true that large pro-
portion Of the graduates still do this,
there is nevertheless q considerable
number who take up occupation OF a
very different sort Most prominent
of these, perhaps, are the former
Radcliffe girls who carry on a good
share of the charitable work Of great
cities. The successor of Mrs. Re-
becca Foster, for many years the
sTombs angel in New York, is Miss
Eliot not long ago a student at the
women's college at Cambridge. One
graduate of Radcliffe is head worker
at Hartley House, in New York city;
another holds similar position in
the neighborhood settlement carried
on by students and teachers of Pratt
institute, in Brooklyn; third, VINO
was graduated in 1895, is assistant
secretary of the State Charitable
Aid Association of New York, which
has a kind of advisory oversight Of
all charitable and penal institutions
on the continent; still another is at
the head of the Friendly Aid House
maintained by All Souls church III
the metropolis.
There are also a few trained nurs-
es among Radcl1tfe graduates, anu
some of the girls who have taken up
secretarial work have shown marked
ability. AS rule, commercial life
does not seem to make strong ap-
peal to these college graduates. In
fact, only one downright business
undertaking appears in !he records.
That is a partnership between for
mer Radcliffe student and girl
friend from the same town in the
south who started in Boston laDo-
ratory kitchen where, as beginning,
scientific baking was done. This
start has now developed into two
very successful restaurants in the
New England capital.

English Words Good Enough.

LADY Violet Greville, in the Graphic.
Why do people persist in using
French words when there are good
old English words to serve the pur-
pose? 1t is habit that is growing
daily. For instance, at dinner people
give YOU "1nenu" instead Of "bill of
fare" though the items are such
English dishes as boiled cod, roast
beef and apple tart; one is accom-
modated wit ha serviette instead of
a napkin Gan English word, bur ORR
ginally Of French origin), as is the
Scotch word napery used for house.
hold linen. When you enter a shop
you are served with corsets instead
of stays, costumes by a costumiere
instead of dresses by dressmaker:
'blouses" take the place Of shirts or
waists, as the Americans have it; and
hose are offered for stockings. The
former ward, is however, English. At
the theatre we have programs instead
Of p1aybills, and matinees in place of
afternoon performances; toques are
adjusted with as much ease as hats,
and we eat in restaurant as cheer
fully as in dining-room. There are.
of course, untranslatable words
which must be used, but Our good
old English language is rapidly be-
coming a hotch-potch of foreign
words, while telegraphy is doing It's
best to oust all the crisp and racy
Saxon speech. Whenever possible
let us determine to use an English
instead of French word, both in lit
erature and conversation.

In the Name of Sport.

Macon Telegraph.
May automobile racing or any 9TH
er sort of machine racing be regard
ed as sport in the true sense: we
doubt it. 1t is very we'll that manu-
faccurerS should compete with one
another in demonstration Of the
speed and safety Of their respective
machines. But that is not sport.
Tests OF the excellence OF various
mechanical inventions. one against
the other can not be placed in the
category OF baseball. football, horse
racing. rowing. hunting. fishing, ten
mis-. golf. skating, field athletics, etc.
These be sports OF the kind that
bring the animal-whethcr man or
horse or hound-into the sphere OF
actual physical prowess. Therein
lies the essence OF the Isaak Walton
philosophy This thing OF risklng
the breaking of ones neck in order
to prove the quality Of a mechanical
device is as far demoved from sport
dom as one could imagine. In the
old days on the broad Mississippi rsv-
er there were contests Of steamboats,.
The queens of rival lines would start
from New Orleans at the same time
with Cairo or some other up-rlver
city as the finishing point. These
boats would be loaded with passcn-

ruary ed is a full and varied number.
The chief feature is an able and most
interesting article on "The Future OF
American Cotton" by R. H. Ed
munds of Baltimore, the authority
on Southern industrial conditions.
There are four good stories. One
concerns a girl who would not toler-
ate incapacity in others until one day
her own incapacity caused her to see
great light. Another tells Of an
old-fashioned farmer who rallied at
the telephone in his son-in-law's
house, until it chanced to be the
means of saving his life. Then he
changed his tune. There is the ac-
count of Zebedee Pelton's extraordi-
nary appetite, and another Of all en-
counter with a man-eating caynlan in
a Philippine river. All in addition to
bo.ckful of humor, miscellany, an
