Siberian Butter Expected.

A firm of London importers Of food
stuffs predicts that there will be o
slump in the price of dairy products
the world ever as soon as Siberia
strikes a steady gait in butter produc.
ton. The reason assigned for this
astonishing prophecy is that Siberia
is now exporting annuall.' 4 little more
than S0,O00,000 pounds of butter. while
the dairy regions are capable of pro.
ducing fifteen times aa much, Or more
than the imr Orts of Grea Britain from
all her possessions.
The London firm, having studied the
Siberian dairy prospects on the ground.
thinks that it will be so difficult for
Canada and New Zealand, the chief
sources of Great Br.tain's brtter. sup.
ply from her colonies, 10 compete with
Siberian butter that they will have to
drop cut of that department of dairy
exporting and confine ineir attention
to cheese making. 1t adds that Den
mark is already feeling the strain of
Siberian competition.
However this may be, it is certain
that butter making is becoming nearly
as important in Siberia as all her
other industries put together. Yet it
is possible that the great slump in the
dairy business will be ayerted. There
is evidence of a growing appetite for
butter among the Far Eastern Asiatics
If those countless millions add butter
to their bill of fare the COWS will have
a busy time of it.

Home Rules For Mothers.

Home life is the school in which
permanent impressions are made.
Don't crlticise your friends unkindly
in the hearing Of your children.
Always fulfil promises, If at all pos
sible.
Be prudent in giving pocket money;
little is better than too much.
Don't insist on children going to
school when they feel Ill.
When finding fault don't talk loudly;
the example is bad.
Don't punish by causing fear.
Show the bright side of life.
Be careful not 10 eXaggerate when
relating any incident, as example is
more powerful than precept.
Encourage your children to bring de-
sirable companions home.
AS your sors and daughters grow
up show you trust them, and endeavor
to make home cheerful.
Don't lay out too much work for the
boys on Saturday. They have been
making plans, too, and it is only fair
to divide the time with them. Many
a boys distaste for the beginning of
school might be traced to the Satur-
days extras.

The German girl leaves school at
time she has learned to- sew, mend and
supposedly to speak English and
French.
She has not learned higher mathe-
MATES, says Modern Women. but she
has learned the small things which fit
girl for a housewife or companion,
and that, in Germany, is womans only
sphere.
However much we American girls
may enjoy our colleges we dare not
pity the German girls, for they have
something which takes their place and
of which we can have no conception
until we reside in Germany a few
months.
Did you ever hear OF q pension? 1t
is one of the most enjoyable things
which exists. Certain influential la
dies, mostly widows or maiden aunts,
make known that they are willing to
take limited number of young ladies
into their family.
We went TO Hanover, two Of us girls,
with a horror and dread of boarding
school, as we heard a pension de-
seribed. We found ourselves in fam
ily of eight girls, ell from the very best
Class of Germans, and all placed under
Frau Won HIS care for year or more.
None of the girls had any special OBJ
ject in life few wanted to learn how
to keep house, a few INDUCED in an
hours music lesson per week, but most
of them came. as Is the German Gus
tom, for the sake of becoming polished,
and being escorted to concerts, thea
tres, balls, receptions, student Kneipes,
etc. opportunities not afforded in
smaller cities, and even not in many
cities that are larger than Hanover.
Consequently our chaperon accepted
invitations for her girls. parties were
given and the great intimate family
spent year full of pleasure.

Number of Women Employed.

The census returns show that 5,000,.
900 and more women are employed in
the nations industrial life. There are
three times as many women stenog
raphers as there were ten years ago,
while the number of women book
keepers and accountants has doubled.
The percentage of saleswomen also
shows a corresponding increase. Wo-
men have risen to be treasurers Of
street railways, presidents Of national
and savings banks, secretaries of
finaneiers ION salaries of $4,000 and
S12,500), executive heads Of building
snd contracting firms, and buyers for
large stores.

TO examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the res-
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands

in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confde every

Fancy Work of Irish Women.

fancy work in the way of lace handker
chiefs, crocheting, knitting and other
home work, selling their products to
the many societies which in recent
years have been organized to dispose
of these native Irish products in Eng
land and the United States.
Nearly every large passenger vessel
that touches at Queenstown allows
these talkative, witty Irish women to
come aboard with great baskets of
their home made wares to sell. Some
times they sell as much as $500 worth

London has an association, the La

skilled needlewoman whom the god
dess Minerva changed into a spider
out of pure jealousy of her accom-.

ject the solution of a double problem.

other, the relief of housekeepers who
need highly trained assistants. for "ser-
wants" is a term not to he applied to
domestics of this lofty category. In
connection with this club there has
been formed THE Arachne's Maids

provide temporary employment. there
by affording relief from monotomy and
strain. The Union has an out-of-work
fund. and has settled perplexing
question that of the mode of address

Workers engaged from the Arachne

Moreover, it has been solemnly re-
solved that In future the Arachne Club

Some mistresses complain that the

How few women understand the art
of wearing their gowns well. They
may have the prettiest, most ex.
pensive and latest costumes obtain
able, but they might far better be
hung on wax figures than Oh some
Of the living and moving possessors Of
them. To make n gown, all the gowns
woman wears, part and parcel of
her individuality, as Miss Nethersole
does for instance, is not possible to
every woman, and yet it seems that
many more might acquire a semblance
of the gift If they would but try to
do so. Gowns cannot "belong" to a
woman in every line and motion. un-
less some thought is given to train
ing ones self in the wearing OF them.
1t is worth while to acquire this ac-
complishment. To acquire it and to
perfect it as this actress has must be
reward enough for taking the utmost
pains. And gowns themselves appear
to have an intelligence in the matter.
If the first time they are worn they
suit and fit it seems most natural
thing for them to do as well at every
subsequent wearing, but it is almost
impossible to reform a gown, making
one that has not been well trained
over TO seem like one that owns its
wearer. OF course, one does not learn
from seeing Miss Nethersole ON the
stage how she has cultivated this gift,
but to see her in the enjoyment of it
is to make every woman ambitious to
copy her-Boston Transcript.

ARE PRIDE OF SWITZERLAND.
Small cantons Support Many Schools
Of Great Reputation.


Geneva is only one of the universi-
ties of little Switzerland, according to
Charles f. Thwing, in Harper's Maya
zine. Basel, founded in 1910; Laus-
anne, founded as an academy in 1887,
and as university in 1890; Zurich,
founded in 1882; Bern, founded in
1884; Freiburg, founded in 1sS9-have
each secured high educational place,
though in its historic impressiyeness
Geneva is unique But Geneva and
her five companions are noble illus
trations of the spirit and power of
democracy. Their support is derived
largely from the cantons in which
they are located
Although the constitution Of 1S4S
authorized the federal government to
erect and to maintain a polytechnic
school and university, the university
has not been established. The can
tons support their universities with a
willingness which is as great as OBJ
tains in the state of the American
union touching their respective state
universities. The University of Zu-
rich is maintained by a common
wealth of only $4,000 people, and with
in an area of less than 700 square
miles. Basel. with a population OF
less than 100000, supports its uni
versity. They are examples of the
power of an enlightened democracy
which interests itself in the highest
education. This interest is not con-
fined, either, to the cause of liberal
learning. For the technical schools
of Zurich are among the best of the
world.
