Country Ruled by Women.

more men than women and only one.
tenth of the women are at work out

stamp Of the feminine mind is upon
everything American and in many Of
the higher phases Of culture women
take the initiative.
This rule Of women in the United
States begins in our public schools,
where boys and girls are educated to-
gether and where the teacher is always
in the lower grades at least, woman.
In the great cities the feminine in
Auence goes into every nook and Gran.

has been suggested as mayor Of Chi.
cago and the "civic creed" Of Chicago
was composed by woman and is re.
cited every day by thousands Of school
children.
Women compose very largely the
reading public and no current novel
can succeed without their patronage.
Some Of the most successful magazines
are devoted to their interests exclu-
sively and those given 10 scientific

King Edwards Blacklist.

People presented at the court of

gratifed by King Edwards wonder.
full knowledge Of them and his extra.
ordinary memory for faces and incl
dents. They are still more astonished
when if years later they meet the king
they find he has not forgotten them
nor the occasion Of their last meeting.
The secret of this feast Of memory lies
in book wherein is regis! cred de-
tails Of the lives Of all persons who
have been or are likely TO be present
ed at court. In il are entered besides
the names. details Of family, career,
aud suggestions as to what the king
shall say and after a presentation
what was said. AS no one has an an.
dience without special invitation,
there is always time for the gentlemen
in waiting to place before the king
the necessary information.
Another book--a sort OF a social
blacklist-contains details OF scan
dals in high life and is kept 90 that
the court may be free from people Of
questionable antecedents.

FOrty-One Stories High.

Completed plans have been filed in
tFeB%Eag Department of New York
for the new Singer Building with its
4l.story tower. The location is to be
the site of the present Singer Build"
ing, enlarged by adjacent property.
The tower will be 625 feet high, the
highest commercial building ever
known and higher than any church
spire in the United States. Its con-
struction will present no novel prob
lem except in the engineers calcula-
tions for resistance to wind pressure.
The erection of the walls, the pro.
visions for their lateral strain and the
foundation can all be readily planned.
The wind strain will require anoth-
er set of calculations. Even in build
ings of moderate height the wind
strain must be considered. 1t is one
of the most delicate factors of calcu-
lation in large bridges. Where a
bridge is built on piers, so that the
wind leverage acts more closely to the
point of support, the strain is nothing
like go great as in a suspension bridge.
So in tall building the wind strain
increases theoretically as the square
of the height and practically some
what more, as high tower has not
the protection of surrounding build
ings.
The greater the base in superficial
area the easier it is to construct
high tower safely. But the new Sing
er tower will be anchored to l4-sto-
ry building with large base, 50 that
the engineering problem of the wind
strain is largely confined to the tower
structure above the history main
building, and the foundation problem
concerns only the structural weight.
With the limited area Of the finan-
cial and business center of New York
and the high cost of land it will be-
come more and more necessary to
build very tall Office buildings to Sc
cure adequate returns on investment.
If a $6,oOO,0O0 building will give
twice the floor area Of $3.000,000
building, and the land in either case
costs $3,OOO,OOO, it is obvious that
an additional investment of so per
cent will double the rental income.
This financial argument makes the
new Singer Building only the pioneer
of taller Office buildings.

Wise Girl.

Now, there was certain girl and
she had three wooers. The first wooer
said she was the whole world to him,
but she frowned upon his suit. The
second wooer said she was the sun,
moon and stars to him, but she bade
him be on his way.
ITO me, said the third, "you are a
young woman OF agreeable manners
with eyes that might be little bluer
with a nose that is wee bit puggy,
and with few freckles, and an an
noying habit of blurting out your
thoughts"
She married the third wooer. Be-
ing pressed for an explanation Of her
conduct, she said:
"My Goodness I think / was sen
sible. l married the only one tha
had courage enough to tell me my
faults before marriage instead of wait
ing to throw them up to me after
ward"

Value Of the Telephone.

A farmer living in Delaware heard
noise out at his stable one night,
and on investigation he found that his
horse and buggy had been stolen. He
had subscribed to the telephone not
long before, after much persuasion,
and he started in to make use OF it.
First the village constables were
reached, then neighbors and friends
living on all the surrounding roads
were called up and asked to keep a
watch. Finally the entire country
for miles around was simply enclosed
in a ling of sentinels on every road.
The thief was caught about FIVE miles
away.
Out in Indiana they have Horse
Thief Detective Association, covering
the entire State. This organization
has decreased horse thieviug rs per
cent in three years. and the officers
say that no agency has been more
helpful in doing this than the tele-
phone.
1t does not depend on US to merely
assert that the telephone is protec.
ton in cases of this kind, or any kind
of emergency. The news Of the day
teens with instances. Hardly day
goes by that the newspaper does not
contain some reference-generally
casual and minor mention being made
of it-where the telephone was the
vital factor is saving disastrous con-
sequences from some one of the acci-
dents and incidents Of modern life.
We are 80 accustomed to this as a
matter of course that we often forget
that those who have no telephones are
subject to the results Of these acci-
dents as they we're fifty years ago.

Birds Shun the Deep Sea

Frank Chapman, Of the New York
museum Of natural history, has been
writing about the birds of England,
which he finds more numerous but
Of fewer species than those of this
country. Curiously enough only one
of hundreds of varieties is common to
both countries.
A writer in the London Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even if narrow, seas. The Madagas.
car straits are impossible to birds,
though the north seas are a highway
for them. Godwits pass from the Nile
to the shores of Norfolk, though neigh
boring islands in an archipelago may
show no common stock.
All birds, with the possible excep.
tion of the sparrow, are stirred to
movement by different csuses-wind,
weather, food, the bullying of parent
and other birds. Birds of prey drive
off their young. Martins love famil-
lar caves ; successive ravens have built
on the same ledge for centuries.
The longer passages are only made
over shallow seas that once were land.
and when once journey ls made the
memory is strong enough to urge re-
petition. The change of home then
becomes not fashion but an inherited
habit

A Few Hints to Farmers.

One never realizes the extent Oh
small things until he estimates their
qualities in aggregate, writes G. W.
Burbett in Progressive Farmer. Our
poultry industry in the census year
1900 is credited with gross earnings
of nearly $3OO,OOO,OO0. This is
nearly twice as much as the gross
earnings of the gold and silver mines;
eight times as much as the gross earn
ings of the banks in the country as
much as the gross earnings of the
coal mines. Yet we think the poul
try industry is small and but a side
issue of the farm.
So is the farm garden one of the
small industries of the farm that may
bring profits of considerable conse-
quence when measured for each in
dividual farm, or for all of the farms
of the country.
So is the orchard one of the small
industries of our land that may be
made to bring in profits of considera.
BILE worth if rightly cared for and
tended.
But these are not the only small
industries that may be connected with
the average farm. Small industries
go out in every direction. One may
keep few bees and have some honey
for home use and for sale. l know
one farmer who each year sells sever
al hundred dollars worth of horse
radish. 1t is one of the side issues OF
his farm and he is developing it.
Another farmer has few acres in
popcorn as side issue to his farming
operations. And so in any direction
you may go you are likely to find
some sort of little business that may
be taken up and developed, and
which may bring in few dollars
each year, or which may bring in
hundreds of dollars each year. 1t is
developing small industry on the
farm. And we make money simply
by following out that line; by ac-
cepting that philosophy. by adopting
that policy.
1t may be that you will have an
opportunity to sell butter from few
COWS. 1t is small industry to you,
but it brings in profits Of very great
consequence. A steer or two of good
quality may be sold each year, and
fifty or seventy.fve dollars realized
from this small industry with you.
A few hogs may be raised. The cost
of production is small indeed, but
the profits realized from them are
very great. A small industry, of
course, but it is through a few small
industries on each farm that the
money for luxuries, for education, for
travel, are obtained. 1t is these
things that improve the farm home.
It is these little industries that make
life worth living on the farm.
With the coming of the next quar-.
ter of century diversified farming
small farm industries of all kinds
and forms-will be prominent fea-
lures with every Southern farmer.
Wise is he who early accepts this
doctrine; and profits will come to
him in proportion as study. care and
attention are given each one of these
small industries that are really small
in themselves, but which in their en-
tirety are enormous.

Then | slowly reeled IN until ne was
almost up to the pole. He saw what
I was up to and started straight for
me, snarling and whining, but I killed
him before he could get his teeth in
my legs"
A two-pounder fell to James I.
Barnes, of Pittsfeld, in an unusual
manner. Barnes had filled his basket
and was taking a noon nap under a
thick spruce with low-stretching
branches, when he was awakened by
the sharp cries of couple of fish.
hawks just over his head. Peering
from beneath the branches of the
spruce he saw that they were in COM
bat over a large trout. Evidently
one of the birds had dived into
pool near by and risen with the fish,
only to find another one OF its kind
waiting to wrest the spoils from him.
He tried to get away with his burden,
but the fish proved too heavy for rap
id flight and he was forced to take
the defensive in a midair battle.
The captor of the fish was getting
the worst of it, because he couldn't
use his talons for weapons, so he
dropped his burden, which fell at the
feet Of Barnes. 1t was fine speci-
men and the fisherman lost no time
in picking it up and clearing out. AS
he left the screeching hawks were
fighting fercely.

Covered it with ignominy;

Governor Folk told a number of
good Missouri stories at New York
banquet some time ago.
According to Que of his stories an
old fellow in Pike county had trouble
with his eyes. Soon after the last
election, when Missouri went Re-
publican, he went to a physician.
When he came out he met friend
who asked what the doctor had said.
"He said that if l didn stop drink
ing 1 would soon g, blind" replied
the farmer.
"And what did you say ?" asked
his friend.
"Well, was the reply, 81 told him
that l had lived to see Missouri go
Republican, and l thought l had seen
about all l wanted to anyway.
