The Ideal Woman.

The ideal woman is a creature of the
imagination, but the real woman is a
stubborn fact, whose practical life
leaves little room for fancy. In youth
our ideal woman Is an embodiment of
grace, beauty, culture and refinement.
No poet can express in choicest rhyme
the excellences Of her virtues, the
depth of her wisdom. or the breadth of
her goodness. No artist, however mas
terly his hand, can paint the soft
texture of her skin, the loving enthusi-
asm OF her smile, and the sweetness
of her lips, that never uttered words
except such as are pure. truthful, and
full of affection. This is our ideal
woman. But the real wOman is some
thing different: not altogether a crea-
ture of beauty. yet not altogether a
creature Invested OF beauty and grace.
The real woman is the patient. loving
mother, the substantial fact of the
family. The toiling, watching, un-
wearied dispenser Of comforts and
blessings to her household and to So
ciety. Not always accomplishing. but
never Sinking from the duties of her
position. The real woman Is the
woman OF resoiute purpose. who boldly

IT is often said that the women OF
to-day are effeminate, and lack the
sturdy heroism of our grandmothers /;
that they are vacillating, aid full of
vanity. But this is not true. One must
admire the stout hearted pioneer
woman of a hundred years ago; but
there is no truth in the imputation OF
degeneracy. We may challenge all
time to present such a noble array of
womanhood as is to-day standing out
In the active dnties or life. They COM
pose a galaxy never before equaled In
the history of the world. One after
another has passed the boundary lines
of the ''thus far shalt thou go and no

A system unlike that to be found

scene in the kitchen is one of perfect

In putting strangers at ease In in
Producing people the greatest care
should be taken to pronounce both
names distinctly. If one name has es-
capped the i~ntroducer's memory it is
safest and best to excuse oneself and
ask for the forgotten name. The most
delicate senslbilities should not be
wounded by such a slip of memory for
who is there who has not at some time
or another quite forgotten n we'll
known name? says Woman's Life. The
debatable question as to whether a
woman should shake hands with a
man who is being presented TO her has
been solved by making it only obliga-
tory for the woman to offer her hand
to the man when the occasion Is in
formal and the man is being intro
duced to n person at a time. When
he is meeting a group of people it
makes it embarrassing and awkward to
shake hands with all.

NEW YORK.

There ale some cross currents in
trade which prevent generalization,
but as a whole the situation loses lit
tie by comparison with preceding years
at shis early stage of the season. The
need of seas0nable weather is noted
throughout the country. In Wholesale
and jobbing trade spring season activ-
ity is not marked as yet. but it Is to
be noted that a number of lines Of cot
ton goods have been advanced, that
Eastern shoe manufacturing centers
are filed with buyers looking around
and that shipments of goods on orders
are being called for. The Western cen
ters also report rather more buying
from country merchants. In Industrial
lines previous activity continues with
out changes. The money situation is
easier in a few centers. notably the
Southwest, where the banks are re-
ported well supplied with money. but
collections in the Northwest are affect
ed by backward grain movement, an
OF er example of the cross currents
affecting trade settlements. As a whole
the market is firm and higher thai a
year ago at this time.-Bradstreet's

CHICAGO.

With a volume of exchanges at b
banks which does not measure up to
those of a year g there are en-
couraging offsets in steadily increasing
deposits and comparatively light
commercial defaults. The dominant
feature which characterizes the bust
ness situation is the confident feeling
in the general outlook for another Pc
Rod of progress. Probably no previous
year started here with greater pres
sure upon available capacity, more for
ward orders or mere labor active at
the highest wages hitherto paid.
Notwithstanding additions to plants
under way and contemplated it would
appear that there is but slight posi-
bility for a material addition to the
outputs of iron and steel during this
gear. Other important industries re-
ceivetl a fair amount of new bookings
for future deliveries.
Conditions remain good in heavy ma
chinery and hardware. electric power,
farm implements, brass products and
automobiles. Plans for new buildings

larger outputs and lumber receipts con-
tinue gaining. although scarcity still
exists for manufacturing purposes In
the hard woods.
Distribution OF live stock and pro-
visions reflects ~seasonable volume, but
demand is yet moderate for grain and
flour and prices for the latter score

bushels last year and 1901. i41 bushels

governor Hanley's Message.
The message Of Gov. Hanly which he
read at the opening of the Legislature
Thursday devotes special attention to in
surance legislation. The Governor rec
ommends that the law prohibit an officer
OF an insurance company from receiving
over $4,000 a year and that special con
tracts, rebates and excessive commissions
be prohibited. He suggests the prohibi-
ton of the level premium charge for pre-
liminary term insurance. In his message
Gov. Hanly referred to the fact that dur
ing the two years of his administration
three State officers have been ousted from
office for misappropriation of funds that
S1S0,46O has ben recovered from them
and turned into the treasury, and that
suits for $126,594 nave been instituted
against former State officers for alleged
transportation of money belonging to
the State. He recommends a 2-cent rate
law, private bank supervision, a primary
election law, a law providing for a de-
pository of public funds and laws more
definitely fixing the responsibility of pub
lie officials. The enlargement of the au-
thority and power of the State railroad

heritance tax law is urged, the message
suggesting that an income of 100000
annually would be derived. and the cleo
ton of United States Senator's by popu-
lar vote is advocated. The Governor ais
urges the abolition of the death penalty,
and expresses himself emphatically on the
subject of gambling at West Baden and
French Lick. and appealed for a statute
which will enable the Governor to close
such places summarily.
