As TO MINING STOCKS

A subscriber has asked us for ad-
vice on the subject OF buying mining
stock. Ii there is anything we are
long on it is advice, and We cheer
fully comply.
Mining stock should be bought in
the dark of the moon from a total
stranger. If possible pay him in lead
money.
Mining stock is useful for severa
things The long, narrow certificates
are useful for laying upon parity
shelves. The short, fat ones
handsomely engraved certificates on
hand made paper, can be rolled up and
used for killing flies. You should, os
course, buy your stock carefully and
choose the size which will come i'm
handiest.
Several enterprising companies are
row putting out stock which comes in
assorted sizes and can be used for
doiiies, paper spills, shaving paper
and table cloths. There is general
complaint because the ink on many
of the certificates is injurious to-
health. II some company will put a.
line of mining stock on PERFECTLY
blank and sterilized paper, it wilE
make a great hit.
| Low grade mining stock should be,
bought just before house cleaning
1t can then be laid under the carpets
during the summer. Late in the falk
it can be taken up and used for bed

SHE WANTS TO VOTE

Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, who has
done so much to improve the schools
OF Roslyn, L. l., says in the N. Y
World:
81 want to vote because think it
will improve the educational system
of the whole country. There ought to
be a woman on every school board in
the United States, and we shall never
get this until women are voters. Edus
cational work needs feminine
mastery OF detail and a thorough
understanding of children. What;
does a man know about his children's
school? 1t is the mother who hears
the spelling lessons, and gets sent
for when Johnny. isn't promoted. It
is women who make the best teachers.
and why shouldn't they make the best
managers? They know that whipping
child is no way to make him love
knowledge
81 have found in my work in the
Roslyn schools that understand and
have been able to remedy great many
difficulties that have never BEEN
reached before. Look at the Colorado
system; it is known all over the world
This was built up entirely by Mrs.
Grenfel.
"Then, too, why shouldn't women
who pay taxes have vote as to how
the money is to be spent? 1t would
be another matter if women we're
exempt from taxes. But, as it is now,
it, is merely another case of taxation
without representation. Many women
think it would be unfeminine to vote-
but it needn't be at all. When it
comes to the actual casting OF the
ballot, can think of dozen ways to
make it as attractive as bridge party
And as for neglecting the home and
the family, it is for the betterment Of
these that we want the ballot"

A QUAKER ROMANCE.
The WOOing of Katherine HOIIIngs-
worth by George Robinson.

The WOOing of Katherine HOIIings-
worth by George Robinson.
Valentine Hollingsworth accompan-
led William Penn in the good ship We'll
come and settled in Delaware upon the
banks Of the Brandywine. Katherine,
his daughter, "a deiectabIe Quaker
maiden" the pride of the little settle
ment was wooed and won by big
George Robinson. But George was of
the Church Of England, and Katherine
must be married In meeting"
George" writes the author of "Heir-
looms In Miniature" twas willing to
join the society, be a Friend and be
married in meeting or anywhere else
that Katherine said. Accordingly he
and Katherine made their first declara-
ton fifth day, first month, $685."
The elders, however, had "scrV1pIes."
seeing that Georges conversion was
very sudden, and they asked him this
searching question:
Friend Robinson, dost thou Join the
Society Of Friends from conviction or
for the love Of Katherine Holdings
worth?"
George hesitated. He priced the truth
and he did wish TO marry Katherine.
So he answered:
AZ wish to Join the society for the
Love of Katherine Hollingsworth.
The Friends counseled "delay and
that Friend Robinson should be Der
suaslvely and instructively dealt with"
Shrewd men as they were, they allowed
Katherine to deal with him, and with
In a year George Joined the society as
a true convert
An old manuscript reads: "He and
Katherine were permitted 10 begin a
long and happy married life together,
being for many years an example OF
piety and goodness to those around
them and retaining their love Of truth
and loyalty to the society to the last"

In Being Photographed.

"There is a tremendous amount of
ignorance on the subject Of colors.
Very frequently woman wears gown
of a certain color, yellow, for instance,
expecting it to take light when it takes
dark, and is consequently disappointed
in the result" says a photographer in
the New York Sun. "White is always
effective and takes beautifully, espe-
cially for dark background effects. But
light blue, pink or cream are preferable
even to white, for the reason that while
they take light there is more detail
and more character in the picture.
eff possible, soft, clinging effects are
to be preferred to any material that
presents a stiff appearance, and starchy
effects should be tabooed entirely.
Nowadays nearly every photograph
er has on hand lengths of soft, clinging
material for drapery purposes when his
subjects present themselves with some
absolutely impossible frocks and when
he can effect the substitution without
hurting their feelings"

The Woman Worker.

Women, instead of saying, "a man
can do it, so why not II" should choose
rather some work that he should not be
doing, and by her excellence wrest such
employment from ill-suited handS-for
we have to face the shame that the
making of gowns, the trimming Of
dainty hats and other pre-eminently
feminine work is too frequently per-
formed by members of the other sex,
and this while their sisters become
gardeners, motor-drivers, and what not
That a woman is a conscientious
worker is everywhere admitted, but her
great fault is that she rarely aims at,
and consequently seldom reaches, per-
lection.
Generally, she has in the background
the thought that her work is but tenn
porary, since she will presently marry !;
or else she falls into the fatal error of
supposing that being a woman "allow-
ances" will be made for her shortcom-
ings. They will not. Her work, like
his, must stand or fall on it's own mer-

able braced with some pillows, the lit
tie feet left full to kick, than when he
is being held tight in arms. He does
not quickly become tired in this way,
and when fatigue does come it is
muscular, healthy one and not that OF
the nerves, caused somewhat by the
nervous condition of the one who has
been holding him.
All conversation before a baby, even
when playing with him, should be
quiet, and there should be no noises,
for small children are very susceptible
to loud sounds, and the start of some
at the sudden banging of a door or an
unexpected noise is pathetic, because OF
the nervous condition it indicates, says
Mrs Hood, in the New York Evening
Telegram. When a baby shows by this
that it is of nervous disposition the
mother should make every effort to
keep it quiet, and by that | mean to
keep excitement from it. The effort
should be to soothe, that the infant
may not develop a highlystrung child.

Woman To-day.

Women have more self-control than
their at-grandmothers had. 1 fancy
1 hear some champion declare apropos
of my statement that they cry less over
novels and at the theaters than they
used to do. Well, perhaps that is So.
Perhaps with more self-control has
come less sentiment. 1t may be ever
so much easier to the present genera
ton to stay the ready tear, because the
tear is not so ready as it used to be,
and therefore much more easy to stay.
But all the same, the lack of sentiment
evinced by the daughters of this gen.
Grafton is not a pleasant sign OF the
times.

THE JAM OF NAWANAGAR.

Oriental POtentate Who Stepped
from "a Wicket to a Throne.

the Orient, where showiness makes par

an esteem scarcely realized in the west

from one Of them is an augury Of evil

STYLE of Hair Counts.

A fashion writer says that it is not
the woman but her hair that counts,
and declares that she has seen the most
unpromising homely woman completely
transformed by means of a stylish or
becoming manner of wearing the hair
1t should always be kept in the best
possible condition, and should be sham
pooed at least once in three weeks, al
though many women are required to
give the hair this cleansing treatment
much oftener.

in a religious rite Dressed in a red
robe, which was burned Immediately
afterward, he held a cocoanut in his
hand during the reading of the shas-
tras, or sacred book Of the Hindoos.
What would happen If the red robe
were not burned, or If he held an or
ange instead Of a cocoanut in his hands,
the western mind cannot fathom, but
very likely the gods would be offended
and disasters would come to him and
his people. The Jam drove in a silver
carriage, surrounded by bright reti-
nue., from his palace to the palace of
installation, passing under a unique
arch, fashioned after two elephants
with trunks extended upward and join
ed. The throne upon which he sat
should have made him proud Of his
hereditary privilege as ruler. 1t was
OF solid gold, with a canopy Of gold
embroidery and with gold embroidered
carpet covering a generous expanse Of
floor. Here with his courtiers around
him the Jam was officially invested
with the right to use or abuse his peo-
pie at will, after which he returned In
state to his palace.
The new Jam Is young man Of lib
eral education, which he acquired at
Trinity College, England. While in
England he became an expert cricketer
and for four years was the champion
batsman Of the country. Much of his
time is still devoted to the game which
he has introduced into his kingdom.
