A Woman Who Succeeded.

Writing of american Women in
Business" in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for August, Miss Elizabeth
Howard Westwood says: eff you talk
to the heads of business concerns which
employ large numbers Of women, they
will tell you stories which tax your
credulity. One of Chicago's biggest de-
partment stores has as the buyer of it's
jewelry a woman who started in as
messenger girl twelve years ago. Her
parents were the poorest Russian immi-
grants. She was kept in school only
until she was of working age. From
the first she showed unusual intelli-
gence and industry, and has risen rap
idly from step to step until she now
draws n salary of $1,000 a year, and
makes nearly as much again on her
commissions. She has passed many
men 10 her race and won out entirely
on the grounds Of her industrial eff
cheney. This is, of course, a case so IN
usual that it seems almost to belong to
the class of miraculous occurrences.
But it has proved that, given the abil-
ity, sex is no obstacle"

A New Magazine.

Frank P. Holland has made a signal
success of Farm and Ranch, and we
note with pleasure that on August 1 he
will begin the publication of q new
monthly periodical. Hollands Maya
zine. This publication is to be a home
magazine of a high literary character,
designed for genral circulation through
ont the South and Southwest. At pres
emit no such a magazine exists. The
Southern and Southwestern States
should readily support a first class
magazine of the right quality. and If
the methods pursued by Col. Holland
in making Farm and Ranch are indica-
tive of those to be pursued in the new
magazine, it certainly ought to be a
winner. His policy of making good
rather than making promises" is fully
exemplified in the advance sheets of
Hollands Magazine.
The cover for the August number,
finely autographed, ia a symphony in
greens, and the contents, including
many splendid half-tone en9ravings,
is 10 keeping with the cover. A large
number of short stories by w~ell-known
writer's, interesting discussions of cur
reE topics. household helps and hints,
articles on flowers, fashions and needle
work, and numerous stories, games and
puzzles specially for children, make up
the SO pages of this number. Among
the contributors for the month are
F. N. Stratton, Lorena nj. Page. Anna
Bishard, Belle Maniates, r. f. Knapp,
Mrs. E. Godinez, Walter B. Whitman,
Edgar White, Drab Gallene, Mrs. S. E.
Buchanan, 81. FL. Hughes, j. NJ. Lewis,
Hester Grey, Minta Rulon Roadhouse,
and numerous others. Nearly every
article is accompanied by superb illus
tration, the best that the engravers can
produce.
The subscription price of the new
magazine is 81 per year; with this paper
we can furnish it for so 80 for both.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to ex-
coed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living *
penses for every dollar saved. That
being the case, he cannot be too careful
about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t
is the same in buying Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
It costs but a few cents. and a bottle of

the Senate debated the proposition to ask the
Attorney Generals opinion on the validity OF
the Barge Canal act. and. after considering
several substitute measures. defeated Senator
Brackets original resolution by a vote of 80
to 10 This resolution. originally introduced
last week, requested the Attorney General 10
decide whether the Canal law infringed the
section of the federal Constitution protecting
navigable waters
When Senator Bracket called for the adoption
OF his resolution Senator Cassidy, of watkins.
oHered an amendment. referring to the Attor-
ney General the entire question of constitu-
uonaltty He maintained that the act
tanned many questions which could not legally
have been submitted TO the popular vote. Sem
ator Hill, OF Buffalo. championed the cause Of
the pro-canal people, declaring that the amend
ment was not germane and that the Attorney
General should be asked only one question at a
time.
After extended debate, Senator Lewis
offered a substitute resolution making the ques-
ton to be laid before the Attorney General one
of constitutionalty only. Finally. to avoid
duly prolonging the discussion both Senators
Lewis and Cassidy at Senator Brackets re-
quest, withdrew their measures and the vote
was taken on the original Bracket resolution
