WOMEN IN BUSINESS

English ladies Of title still persist
in having their little fling in the world
of trade. Now it is Lady Colin Camp
bell who comes out and stands as a
sponsor for the beauty doctors. Mil.
linery, dressmaking, household deco
rating and dairy farming are old
schemes in her world. Long ago her
sisters went in for these ventures.
SO the only fair and fresh field for
her ladyship appeared to be the mis-
sion OF promising beauty In opening
an exhibition of first aid to the ugly
at the Grafton Galleries, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, the high-born lady
started with the premise that health
brings beauty and that beauty may be
expected to bring health. All kinds
and conditions of appliances for in
viting these two blessed estates are
shown, and if they do not do the work
they will belle the looks and words
of those whose business it is to rec
ommend them. Little wheeled things
there are that roll out Of sight all the
outward evidences of age while times
mischievious pranks may be relieved
of all their sting by the use of GER
tain foods for the skin All this para
phernalia is imposing, it is said. and
the fact that the exhibition is under
such distinguished management gives
all of us due notice that the beauty
doctor is no longer to be part Of the
worlds gentle jokes. He or she is
from this time on to be taken very
seriously.

Does spontaneous generation occur

the burning questions now before men

considers the problem in Harper's, in
relation to the recent views of scien-
fists and the remarkable assistance
Of radilm in their latest experiments.
The chief difficulty, he thinks, is the
impossibility of satisfactorily defining

THE QUEENS MISTAKE.

Princess Ena, now Queen Victoria
Of Spain, wore pearls on her wedding
day. She made great mistake.
Pearls worn at wedding means tears
are to be shed through the married
state, so runs the Spanish proverb.
When the Empress Eugene was
finishing her toilet to go to Notre
Dame on her wedding morning, an old
Spanish servant of hers burst into
tears and, reminding her of their ma
tive adage. begged her not to wear
her pearl necklace. Eugene, paying
no heed to the warning, wore the
necklace all the same, and her life,
as all the world knows. has been one
long tragedy. Her necklace was
remarkable one, consisting of large
number Of pearls, so the bride who
only wears a few need not dread the
prOverb so much, for, after all, no
woman's life is entirely free from
tears.-Boston Transcript.

THE TRAINING OF YOUNG chill
DREN.

One would hardly expect to find
marked traits of character in a very
young infant; nevertheless, they are
there, and show themselves very
strongly, often when the infant is not
more than twenty-four hours old.
This, then is the time to commenc :
your training. Begin the moulding
process right now. 1t is for you to
make the child what you will, and if
begun now the task will not be a
difficult one. | have often seen the
most stubborn and even vicious chill
dren in marvello1sly short time
succomb completely to good influence,
becoming sunny-tempered, obedient
and lovable.
Infants are helpless, consequently
they require our care, and it is mat
ter of duty that this should be our
intelligent best. Do not depend on
guessing in this important matter; it
is not safe. Children require love.

probably more; but remember that
surfeit Of good things has the same
effect upon the young as it does upon
an older person. 1t seems rather ri
diculous, does it not, to think of a
child, and very young one at that,
becoming blase-tired of the good
things offered? But it is true. We do
not have to look very far to see chill

heads with shrek of disapprobation

LA TOILETTE CORRECTED,
Better Prices Under the Present
Methods Of Buying Grain.


Senator LIE Toilette contrasts the
present methods with "the old days
when the farmers brought their grain
to market and the buyers gathered
around and bid for the product. Now
the farmer has to hunt up the buyers
in their offices-there is no competi'
ton, for the profits Of the buyers
are pooled"
The first part of this statement is
true; the second is not. Methods
have changed, but it is all to the adj
vantage of the farmer. He gets more
under the present condition than
would be possible if former practices
We're in vogue. 1t is true that in most
OF the primary markets throughout
the West his buying is limited to two
or three parties. At the smaller sta.
lions sometimes only one buyer Is
present This is not because of any
destruction of competitor by unlaw-
full methods; it is simply because the
parties operating the handling plants,
which they themselves own, can af
ford TO and do pay higher prices for
grain than any one not possessed OF
such facilities. Wagon buyers are
just as free to operate as ever they
were, but the expense of handling
grain by the primitive method is pro-
hibitOry. The farmer Of the West, in
stead OF being limited to the COM
petition Of the local buyers of his
particular railroad station, has now
the advantage CT the competition OF
the world markets.
There are number of large grain
concerns which put into the hands OF
every regular buyer at every local
station on every railroad each morn
ing Of the year a postal or telegraph
offer based on the close of the pre-.
vious days markets in Chicago, New
York and Liverpool, whichever may
be the highest. These men are ex-
pected to telegraph how much they
will sell at these prices and there is
the sharpest kind of competition be-
tween the buyers at the local sta
tons to get as much grain as possible.
So keen is this strife that the prices
paid for grain frequently allow less
than one-half cent a bushel margin
for the buyer-all Of which inures to
the direct advantage of the farmer.
Under the old method a margin OF
three to six cents, and frequently
more, was exacted by the buyer in
order to insure himself against loss.
This great benefit to the producer 4!
has been made possible through the
concentration of the business into
comparatively few hands and the CO.
operation of the railroads in equaliz.
ing rates to the various ports.-From |

HOOKS, EYES, BUCKLES.

Ornamental hooks and eyes arc
about to be pressed into service, for
those pretty little coates that just
fasten at one point in front. They are
large, and made of imitation dia.
monds, enamel and other precious
stones.
OF buckles there are great num-
bers, a little less worn upon the waist
belt than they were, perhaps, but con-
spicuous in other ways. One dress has
been seen with a plastron bodice
held up by straps over the shoulders
and threaded through velvet buckles.
Upon a smart cray hat was i'm
pressed a huge buckle of gray tulle
that supported a big bunch of lilies
of the valley, the stalks of which
were thrust through the buckle
The very buttons upon our boleros
must be unusual and lovely in ap-

gilt, the color of which. to be in the
latest fashion, should be of a pale
shade, for light gold is at present
very modish.

DETECTIVE FINDS
STOLEN TIES.

The officials of the Southern Pacific
Company received word yesterday from
]. c. Betancue. Of the company's spe-
ciaA detectives, that ne had located
more than 5000 ties that had been
stolen from the divisions in Arizona
and New Mexico. These ties cost the
Southern Pacific about s1.a5 each, and
the thefts this year have amounted to
nearly $4,000. With the exception of
this lot of 5000 very few have been
found by the company detectives.
Betancue started out three weeks
ago on his search for missing ties. He
travelled over ranches and inspected
mines. The ties were easily identified,
and the detective hired teams to gather
them up. He also found a quantity of
Santa Fe ties west of Deming. where
they had been carried by the floods.
These ties have been taken to Albu-
Querque.
