FemInism W. Tobacco.

The kindly spirit which has recent
ly invaded the ranks of an American
medical society, converting the male
members from truculent entities into
gentle and passive members of the
body polite, has been the means OF
adding another jewel to the much-be-
gemmed crown of American woman
hood, wrested as part payment for
victories won in the holy war for
supremacy We had hoped that the
battle between the sexes would con-
tinue indefinitely in these, our demo.
cratic United States, il only to add
zest to the monotony of our daily ex-
istence, and as an object lesson to
those benighted Europeans who hap
pen to stray hitherwards; but with
the complete defeat Of the male mem
bers of the medical society under con-
sideration, on the question whether to
smoke or not to smoke in the pres
ence Of half-dozen women members,
we must declare that all further fight
ing be decreed perfectly useless.
Without going into the details of the
proceedings that led to the annihila-
tion of the smoking privilege enjoyed
for years by the male members, re-

A Wldeawake kafflr.

That cleverness does not always
follow the color line is intimated in a
story which comes from London and
Is told by the News of that city. The
tale is to the effect that the head man
of Kaffir tribe in South Africa hav.
ing bought an American broom OBJ
served that several of the stems had
seed pods attached. The idea entered
his intelligent brain that If those
seeds would grow he could raise his
own broom corn and perhaps start an
important industry. He made the at
tempt and succeeded, and now has q
considerable quantity of broom corn
under cultivation and promising we'll.
The facts are vouched for by the con-
servator of forests for the colony, and
with this official Endorsement the case
should be established. II a Kaffir
makes whole field of broom corn
grow where none grew before and
puts his section in the way of getting
its own brooms, why Is he not q bene-
factor of high merit? And giving the
Kaffir his due. is 1t not true that there
are many white men. who would not

In Behalf of Touring Public.

Secretary Of the Treasury Cortel-
you has planned an improved system
of baggage inspection which is likely
to increase enormously his popularity
with the touring public. He believes
that many Of the annoying and embar-
RAISING features now attending the
search of baggage brought from
abroad may be done away with, to the
advantage of the service and without
involving risk Of loss to the govern
ment. Passengers on incoming ocean
steamers, says Troy IN. " Times,
will no longer be rounded up" in the
cabin at the end of the voyage and be
obliged to swear to the contents of
their trunks, bags and suit cases, but
blanks will be distributed early in the
voyage and there will be opportunity
for leisurely preparation of list OF
foreign articles. The statements will
be placed in the hands Of responsible
officers, and each passenger will re-
ceive coupon with corresponding
number. This coupon, handed to an
inspector on the dock, Will be the
voucher for the passengers good faith
There will be no swearing as to dutia
BILE or nondutiable articles, and much
time will be saved and inconvenience
avoided. OF course the new system
will not exempt anyone from penalties
for smuggling. The government sim
ply gives the passenger courteous
treatment, expecting compliance with
the laws in return.

Farm Labor Scarce.

C. a. McInory, Of Wellsford,
Kansas, expresses the opinion that
farmers in his section would have to
go out of business but for the mod
ern farm machinery. Why" he
declares. You can't hire a man to
work on a farm out in that part Of
the State short Of $3.50 to $500 a
day" This condition forces far
mers to use every kind of machinery
that is made for sowing and reaping.
They have steam plows and lots Of
them. These machines do the work
Of many men and teams and in that
way farmers are enabled to plow
their wheat land and get it in shape
for seeding. If they had to wait
till they could hire men to plow in
the old way they could not raise
enough wheat fer home consump-
ton. The interesting feature of this
is it's refutation Of al old theory
that the coming Of machinery would
lower or throw out hand labor. It
seems, however, the more machln-
cry the higher priced becomes
the individual !aborer and the
greater difficulty Of secaring his
services. Farmers have been com
planning for years that it is almost
impossible to get sufficient help.
