Dorothy Dainty in the City" This is the fifth volume of the Dorothy Dainty" series, and is aptly illustrated by the author Published by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co.,. Boston
 Dorothy's parents, with her well-lov- ed goyerness, Aunt Charlotte" Gray son, and her devoted little friend, Nan cy Ferris, take up their home in the city for the winter Acquaintances of the previous summer welcome them, and all have delightful times. The scheming uncle of Nancy, however has not ceased his attempts to get her in- to his possession, and his temporary success in so doing, and Nancy's bray- cry throughout all form thrilling and touching part of the story, It is easy to see why each new Dorothy Dainty book commands a much larger circle of little readers, and the artistic ap- pearance of all Miss Brooke books is fully maintained.

Some Of the women jewellers are skilled in other departments of the trade. They are apt at enameling, an art to which women have only of re- cent years given attention.
 It takes a very short time for ! clever girl to learn the art of cham cling on copper, and many small cop per vessels enameled within. and hat pins. watch fobs and the like are made by women. A school In Boston teaches
 reiing to a small class of wo- men annually, and within the year most of them acquire considerable skill in the art.
 Rings elaborately chased and set with precious stones are made by wo- men jewellers, though they do less of such work than work in enamel and in semi-precious stones. Most of the work in precious stones is still in the hands of men. and there are few wo- men diamond cutters.
 The advantage that the women find in this kind of work is that 1t may be done at their own rooms, or wherever they can set up vice, q small forge and crucibles Some of the women jew elers work for the trade, and it Is d good deal easier for them 10 obtain employing jewellers work in semi-pre- cious stones than in more expensive Jewels.
 A good deaf of tho work Of the women jewellers Is done upon private orders. and some of the most successful among them owe their reputation and trado to the quiet advertising that they ob- tain from patrons who have been pleas ed with their work. The young wo- nan who ,narages to attract tho inter- est of few rich women Is pretty we. assured oI proiitabit employment.
 The fashion in jewels Is constantly changing. and there is a growing de- mand among the wealthy. for specially designed jewels. Many wealthy wo- men are easily interested in new ma terials and methods in jewels, and 1t Is to such patrons that some of the women jewellers look for employment

 This interesting episode. which oc- cured in 1901 when she was engaged in photographing the stars, has made her probably the most widely noted woman astronomer in the world. The tremendous task of indexing and cata- louging all the stars up to the four teenth magnitude was assigned to her by the international Astronomical Con- gross. and four assistants were given her to carry on the work.

HOMES IN THE COUNTRY.
Safety Valves for City Dwellers Wht
 Tend to Be NeurOtic.

Kansas Clty JouIHdA'
 One phase of our modern life has de- veloped silently yet remarkably With the past few decades, and Is now exert ing an important influence upon the American people. This Is the constant ly increasing habit of the city dwell- CTS to seek the country at every op- portunity. There was once time when only the very rich could anord country homes, for it was frequently impossible for a man doing business in a large city to make daily trips to his office without the loss of much val uable time.
 The trolley and the automobile have changed the conditions of the city fam fly, for with these swift means of To- comotion country homes may be reach ed within comparatively short time. Where roads remain fairly good the year round it Is becoming popular for wealthy families to quit the cities alto- gether and live out in the open coun- try, going into the cities for the the atres and social affairs in their autos. For those less pretentious the trolley car has been the means of escaping from the city at the end of the day to live for few hours in the peace and quiet of the country.
 If 1t were not for this disposition of the urban people to leave the noise. the smoke and the confusion of our modern cities we SnOulO soon become nation of neurotics. The business pace has been getting so fast that the hu- man constitution simply cannot stand up under 1t. The little rest and fresh air that a business man can secure ar his country home in the evenings for tifies him against nervous breakdown. For his family the change Is even more beneficial, especially if he have growing children, who absorb from the woods and fields, from the soothing atmos- phere of the country home, health and strength and energy.
 Perhaps the problem of our cities has not been solved in this flight to the country, but there Is no question that the trolley, the automobile and other forms of rapid transportation will elim- mate much of the unhealthful conges- ton that has cost so many lives in the past The family of modest means that lives in cottage within convenient reach of the city will be abe to add ma terially to the breadwinners' income by maintaining a garden and other light agricultural features. In this manner enough extra money can be earned to more than pay the family car fare. From every standpoint the country home appeals to the poor as well as to the rich one, a condition that did not exist many years ago. And 1t Is well for the American nation that this is so.

 Herr Helting, the Swiss Alpinist, tells in Alpina, how he climbed Aconcagua (22,S60 feet), the giant of the Andes. in January last. a feat which was briefly announced at the time. The first ascent was made by an English man. MT. H. Vines, thirty years ago. since when dozens of other climbers who have made the attempt have fail ed. My friend. Reichert and Stoeppel and myself left the camp" says Herr Helting. and reached the spot from which we intended to start the real climb. Stoeppel with true sportsman ship, there agreed to return, as his presence would only have hindered us. and then 1t was case of each man for himself. We started at daybreak but at 8 o'clock Reichert was done and gave up. He could not stand the fla tigue and rarified air He took with him his own and my porters. and de- scended in safety.

wonen fin Love,

Love at two and twenty is terribly intoxicating draft" says an old time philosopher, an assertion easily be- lieved when one notices the effects or Cupids wiles upon some giris.
 No matter how deeply a man loves. he has wit enough left to think of oth- CT things. He takes time for his meals He gets a sound nights sleep. Unless his passion Is the first stage of calf love. he is able to look after his cIs- tomary business with fair degree of inteligence, and the fact that one wo- man stands to him for all the world in nowise blinds him to the fact that houses must be built and goods bought and sold and the prosaic business Of life go on just the same.
 With the average girl 1t is 1uite diff feronG Nothing else in the universe matters quite so much as what he said when he was with her, exactly how he said it, what he may say next and the awful possibility that his feelings may undergo some change between this time and that

 of these two attitudes the mans is ten thousand times the better. It is good for him physically and mentally and IL lnSureS against HIS peIHS Ait too hard should his little dream end in smoke. as the most roseate little dreams sometimes do.
 If love fails. he has kept tangible hold on material things, and these will chain him to life until 1t gets bearabl9 again, whereas a woman under tn" same blow, having kept no hold any where, may go entirely to pieces.
 When women learn not to give love the whole stage, when they can keep it in it's rightful place. when it will help life, it will be infinitely better for their happiness.

A CONSTANT ANNOYANCE.

Half the nervousness, half the irri- tability that is so common in every day life, Is really sickness. and In most cases c condition that accompa- nies kidney trouble.
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and oth' CT pcisons. but when the kidneys are e;ck, and not doing their duty. the uric acid poison permeates the body. and attacks body. brain and nerves. The irritation causes nervousness. irrita- bility, headache, dizzy spells; makes you lAnguid, unfit for work. and in- clined to worry over trifies. Besidss. there is nothing more annoying than a bad back, and backache Is the most common sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning, suffer day and night with a dull aching in the back, and 1t hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool. and get the kidneys well. No person can feel chesrful and healthy if the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills. taken in the be- ginning, will set the kidneys right.
 Continued treatment cures cases of long standing.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for tho kidneys only. and contains no poison ous or habit-forming drugs. They re- 1ieve congestion and inflammation of the kidneys or bladder, heal and cure

 New York Tribune. -.%-:
 The names of Mary Somerville the author of "The Mechanism of the Heavens" and of Maria Mitchell. the teuakeress professor of Vassar College, have long been identified with the science of the heavens. hut until one sees 1t in cold type one Is hardly pre- pared to believe that "women in as tronomy have achieved greater success nave met with more courteous recog- nltion and now occupy a more promi- nent place in that than in any other branch of scientific activity" Such however is the statement made by DeWey Sheldon Beebe. in the women's number of the Technical World Maga- zine.
 Miss Mitchell. who died in 1889. was a connecting link between the old and the new astronomy Her fame was gained. says Mir seebe Largely through her mathematical attainments. and her achievements with the tele. scope, while important were made when that instrument was only a tov compared with the great modern ma. chimes, whose moveable portions alone sometimes weigh three tons The snecS troscope and camera were just assum. Ing importance in astronomy as har term in Vassar was drawing to a close As the practical astronomy had given way to a theoretical astronomy so this in turn was receding before tbe tremendous strides of the new descrin- tive astronomy-the science that tells of what the planets are made and what are the conditions on their sur- faces. And in this new field of .astro, physics, as it is called. women have a position which can never be occupied by men"
 Among the brilliant women "astro- physicists" of the day are Mrs. A. D. Maunder. wife of the Superinten dent of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Mrs. Maunder has done individual work of importance in oh serving sunspots and determining the physical condition of the earth's source of light and heat, and in 1898. in India, secured the first photograph of the outermost streamers of the corons. For some years Mrs. Alaunder was one or the computers at Greenwich and editor of the Journal of the British Astronomical Association.

A MONTGOMERY CASE

Aaron Maas. the well known cotton broker on Water Street. living at 703 Lauderdale Street, says: T used Doans Kidney Pills for backache and shey removed it. I never had been laid up with the trouble entirely but I had a constant dull pain across my loins and an irregularity of the secretions from the kidneys. It bothered mo some to retain the same. I used a number of remedies in my endeavors to rid my self Of the pain in my back. but all failed to bring the desired result until got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at George A. Cunningham's drug store and used them. Soon afterwards as ! have already stated. the pain in my back disappeared. also was relieved of the trouble with the kidney secre- tions, I can very highly recommend Doanss Kidney Pills" 3.

Women godsmiths and jewellers are having considerable success both in Europe and America. The ablost of them arc regularly instructed in schools of 'gn and in the shops of work ing jewellers and goldsmiths.
 Much of their work is in the semi precious stones now popular. These owe their charm to the tasteful fashi on in which they are mounted and ar ranged.
 The women jewalers have been espe- cially successful in designing clains. collars, necklaces and the like, in which semi i-nrccious stones are mounted 'n gold of pleasing decorative design. An eye for color. a sure taste in matters Of form and deftness and manual skill are the necessary equipment for thIs kind of work.
