A WOMAN ON WOMEN.

Mrs. Anna Rogers, in a recent is
sue of the Atlantic Monthly, asserts
that the American woman has mega
lomania; that her attitude towards
marriage is apt to be either supercil-
ious or sentimental; that she fails to
realize that she owes a duty to So
ciety in general to the same extent
that the American man does; that
her training as girl does not fit her
for matrimony, and that the increas-
ing tendency towards divorce in this
country is largely due to the Amer
ican woman's failure so thoroughly
to forget her individualistic ideas as
to make success of her end of the
matrimonial game. In short, Mrs.
Rogers says a great deal which no
mere man would be quite bold
enough to say; and already there is
a war of words arisen. There is Just
one trouble concerning generaliza-
tions of this sort-that is, that they
are generalizations. When you say
"the American woman" just whom
do you mean? Out of, let us say,
twenty million women, how many
have had chance to develop mega
lomania, how many have been encour-
aged to foster the deluslon that they
are superior to all the world else?
How many have had the opportunity
to indulge themselves in, to riot in,
the individualistic ideas which are
asserted to be making them unfit for
the desperate adventure of matri-
mony? The fact is that nature, and
economic conditions, will always keep
the overwhelming majority of the
women Of any nation from any very
marked deviation from the feminine
form.-Uncle Remuss Magazine.

Take Your Choice.

Have you ever almost run into
some one on the street and then
lodged from side to side for half a
minute, vainly endeavoring to pass,
while the other person by some
strange fatality blocked your every
move by trying to pass you in the
same way?
Such was the recent experience Of
young man in Portland. Maine. He
and strange young woman had been
going through this performance for
several seconds, when his unwilling
vis-a-vis staggered him by saying:
well, hurry up! Which is it to

SIOuX WOMEN.

Among the Sioux it was no disgrace
to the chiefs daughter to work with
her hands. Indeed, says Mr.. Charles
A. Eastman in "Old Indian Days."
their standard of worth was their
willingness to work, but not for the
sake of accumulation, only in order
to give.
Generosity is a trait that is highly
developed in the Sioux woman. She
makes many moccasins and other ar
ticles of clothing for her male reia-
tives, or for any who are not well
provided. She loves to see her
brother the best dressed among the
young men, and the moccasins, espe-
cially of young brave, are the pride
of his womankind.
Her own moccasins are plain, her
leggings close-fitting and not as high
as her brothers. She parts her
smooth, jet-black hair in the middle
and plaits it in two braids. Her or
naments, sparingly worn, are beads,
elks' teeth, and touch of red paint.
No feathers are worn by the woman,
unless in sacred dance.
She is supposed to be always occu-
pied with some feminine pursuit or
engaged in some social affair, which
is also strictly feminine as a rule.
Even her language is peculiar to her
sex, some words being used by wo-
men only, and others have feminine
termination.

PLANS FOR THE GARDEN.

find the best way to lay out the
garden is to have the rows aslong and
straight as possible. This saves lots
of time in cultivation. We see many
gardens laid out in small square beds
with walks all around them. This is
all needless labor to prepare them,
and then it takes much more work to
keep them clean.
If the rows run straight across the
garden one can run the wheel hoe

Got the Eagles Tail Feathers.

I knew an Indian, Yellow Eagle.
Uho, in order to get his coup feather,
dug a hole In the ground on the open
prairie far from camp or habitation.
Over it he fixed covering of brush,
upon which was laid the carcass OF a
freshly slain antelope. In this trap
he Lay for three days awaiting the
eagles coming.
When at last, lured by the bait,
one did alight, he seized it from be-
low and despite its tapping and claw
ing and pecking plucked the precious
feathers before freeiD the astonished

Milk and Butter in Japan.

There was time when milk was
regarded in Japan with the same alb
horrence as cheese is in China, es-
pecially the pungent and strong
smelling variety. Recent statistics,
however, according to Consul Will
bur T. Gracey, show that time has
worked great change in this respect
and milk and butter are now in great
favor in Japan. Whereas twenty-five
years ago not more than one or two
per cent. of the persons visiting a
European restaurant, or eating a
European meal at a friends house,
would have thought of touching but
ter. fully forty or fifty per cent. now
eat 1t with relish. They are, how
ever, quite content to do without.
AS to dairy farms, they have in
creased notably in recent years. But
ter, however, Is a byproduct at these
places, It Is to milk that they look
for their profit. Milk has a curious
history in this country. Thirty or
forty years ago It was abhorred. The
average Japanese could not induce
himself to drink it. But to-day many
household consumes one or two
bottles of milk daily, partly because
doctors have recommended it as a
unique and wholesome beverage.
milk halls" too, are now quite num-
erous. Butter will probably take
much longer to come widely into
vogue, because of its expensiveness.
A pound of fresh butter costs at least
one yen (49.S cents gold) in Toxic
to-day, an extremely high price for
Japan.

THE FAMILY HORSE AND COW.

THE FAMILY HORSE AND COW.
Watch the horses hoofs carefully
during the spring months. The mud
should not be allowed to cake on
them, and, IL one has been driving
over wet roads, the animals legs
should be thoroughly dried off.
It is wise plan to get the manure
pile away from the stable as soon as
possible in the spring. Nowadays
many people with country places have
manure drawn direct to the fields
throughout the winter. but If this
practice is not followed 1t should now
be carted to the ground where 1t is to
be used and spread.
Be careful to see that the horse
and COW are never without piece of
rock salt. 1t is a good plan to have
small box fastened to the stall
manger to keep it in.
The cow should be out of doors
every fair day for exercise, but be
sure that she is not allowed to stray
on the soft and wet turf, which is
easily cut up and damaged at this
time of year Suburban Life.

BUSINESS GIRLS.

When a business girl is a failure
the reason often is that she regards
the work she has taken up as only
a temporary thing-something to fill
up the years that lie between leav-

home that she hopes sooner or later
will fall to her lot.
That is an utterly wrong principle.
Even II the chances are that the girl
will marry, she must work hard and
gain all the knowledge she can Of
her calling, SO that, should marriage
not come her way, she may, instead
of developing into complaining old
maid, become an interesting and
