By HEN BERMAN

Georgia woman who originated a convenient
travelling bag has made money enough to set herself
up in business.
Up to the present it has been the Northwest. the.
Middle, and Eastern States that have gwen us the
most active women inventors. The South IS behind
this respect although the few women from that
section who have entered the field have done ex-
ceednglv well, and their inventions have been
emnently practical. For instance, an Alabama
woman farmer devised two important aids To agri-
culture; 4 North Carolina working woman has been
successful with q culinary invention; and u Florida
woman has patented a useful heating appur-
tenanCe TO the credit of a Texas Is to be
placed novel folding tent, while another Southerner
has created finger exercising device OF great value
10 musicians. And not alone IN these departments
have women been useful; for a California woman
has originated novel method of desulphurizing
ores; while another Westerner has patented several
inventions dealing with the irrigation problem.
Women from the big cities have invented odd dress
patterns, novel ways for adjusting portitres and
curtains, methods of manufacturing artistic goods,
safety envelops. improved typewriting appliances,
copy holders, and the like.
school teachers have easily fallen INTO the class
OF originaors of practical ideas, and have furnished
valuable educational methods and devices. These
range from kindergarten utilities To school room
furniture and include book rests, blackboard erasers,
school bags, and So forth.

A Substitute.

From the New York Times.
 Whether the various substitutes for coffee serve their intended purpose suc- cessfully or not may be an, open ques- tion, but there is no doubt whatever thta one of these products was greatly appre- eiated the other day. gang of Italian worl1men, who had been engaged in their usual occupation of tearing up the street, had stopped for the noon hour, and were sitting around, eating their midday meal Presently man came along, carrying a basket, from which he distributed at every house a small package containing substitute for coffee. These he merely laid at the door sills, not taking the trouble to ring the bells. Behind him at a considerable distance, so that his presence would not be noticed followed an Italian. Gathering up all the pack ages he took them to where a group of his fellow workmen were sitting. Appar- ently the proceeding was not an entirely new one, for the men opened the papers as If they were accustomed to doing 1t, and without a moments delay, emptied the contents into their pipe bowls. The mixture was soon going up in smoke, and the Italians appeared to consider 1t agree able as tobacco, however it might have been regarded in the light of coffee.

USED THE BIBLE AS A CIPHER.
A Verse From Solomon Told of Her
 Marriage Engagement.

F'rom the New York Press.
 When she left her home in the small town to come to New York to take up was fast reaching the crisis of a love affair. The pet sister was a most win some young lady, and had long kept a goodly train of suitors assigning. Was this affair to be the grand affair? The older sister hoped so, for she liked the young man cordially-thought he was just the sort to make a proper brother in-law.
 But the weeks passed and not a bit of definite news about the progress of the affair did the older sister receive in her city boarding house. She became anxious. Louise, she thought, must not go on recklessly trifiing in such impor- tant matters.
 Then one night about 10 clock, just as she was going to bed, came a telegram. The servant brought it up. The older sis ter was country girl enough to be thor oughly frightened by the pale manila, black linked envelope. How ominous it looked At length she gathered courage to open it. This is what she read:

 There was a great scurrying about the boarding house to find copy of the sacred book. The girls were routed out in vain. On all sides the cry arose: "Who's got a Bible?'

A New Organization of Women Brooks

This club, which earping ones pre- dict will have to fly away and anchor on a more elevated plane. or 1t will crum- ble Into nothingness. has A membership including many prominent women In the city, ito practice the beautiful art of being agreeable among themselves and to extend the art to others.'
 At present. no matter how kind and courteous club women are to each other, they might be a good deal more so, as the most joyous and sanguine optimist insists. The society, which purposes, as soon az 1t gets it's angel feathers sprouted, to do much Ito spread among It's members and others a knowledge of the principles of real social courtesy IS look for encouragement.
 Mrs Donald Mclean, who is one of the incorporators says: Kindness and agreeability are the essence of real so- cal courtesy. Without them III feeling Is bound to exist. Our association will meet at social gatherings at which mem bers will give talks on the subject. Then. when we have the principles driven Into our mind, we will practice the art. We hope te reach perfection perhaps when we will have learned that which we will be able to transmit to others as a secret of serenity"
