WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Not Without Precedent.

Governor Dilley hasn't resigned his seat in congress for what many ner- sors, including former Governor Wood ruff, think Is a good reason. The law says that when a member of congress vacates his seat through death, resig- nation or other cause a special election shall be called by the governor to fill the vacancy. In the present instance that would mean a useless outlay of about 3O,OO0.. or about $500 a day for the services of a new man until March

THE CLEVER WOMAN.

With all the discussion that is now
going on about what constitutes the
clever woman 1t is interesting to get
the opinion of a great English au-
thor and editor.
"a clever woman, as wife, is a
woman who is skilled in the conduct
of life, in the control of the house
hold, and, above all, in the manage
ment Of her husband, says William
T. Stead in the Delineator. A woman
who could neither read nor write
would be bad wife for any ordinary
man in a civilized community, but
such an illiterate woman, If she were
clever in all the arts of domestic
economy, in the rearing Of children
and in bringing at once the inspira-
ton and comfort of her husband,
would be clever enough for the clev-
crest man in existence, and infinitely
preferable to the cleverest woman in
book learning that has ever been
turned out by university.

Does It Pay to Co West 7

Sun, we turned our faces eastward
again. s'
Brother farmers, the problem has
already been solved for us by the
great chemical industries of the
world. 1t Is true we, or those be.
fore US, have taken from the soil
far more than we have put back.
This is against all reason. Farm
manures are not, and never will be,
sufficient for the bringing up OF our
worn soils in the condition in which
the land is now. but the chemical
manures will as surely supply the
need, IL we use them as literally as
we should and with q proper rotation
OF our crops. One of the strong ar
guments OF the Western advertiser
is the soil content of potash, which
enables the Western farmer to grow
abundant crops of alfalfa; yet here
in the East, upon land once consid-
cred worn out absolutely, / have seen
during the past few years as luxuriant
growth of this valuable plant as
ever saw in the West. simply by the
application of generous quantities of
the element pot sh, combined with
the two otheI Indispensable plant
food elements, phosphoric acid and
nitrogen in lesser amounts. Both
potash and nitrogen are greatly lack
ing in many sections of our Eastern
States. Experiments have proved
this: Let every man experiment for
himself and thus determine the needs
Of his soil: apply the fertilizer needed
in sufficient quantities and he will be
in position to refute this story
about abandoned Eastern farms, the
fertility of which is exhausted. II
the crops show the need of potash,
supply It; If either phosphoric acid
or nitrogen seem deficient these as
well as the Indirectly available ma
terials are easily obtained. There is
no necessity for leaving the great
markets and the familiar surround
ings, to obtain the supplies of soil.

CONFIRMED MAN Halter.

Miss Harriet Evans, an elderly
spinster on whom an inquest was held
at Hackney. was said to have been a
confirmed man hater. "She was so
much against men that she would
not have coin with a kings head on
it," her landlady said. IF one was
given her she would throw it into the
fire. She would only deal in money
bearing Queen Victoria's head" Miss
Evans went to the Office of local
newspaper some time ago, but re-
fused to enter it until a woman was
sent to transact business with her.
An advertisement for apartments
which she published stipulated that
there should be no man in the house.
She even declined to receive letters
because the stamps bore the Kings
head.-Pall Mall Gazette.

It was at a dinner given by the
members of certain English circuit
in honor of an eminent judge. The
legal element predominated, and the
conversation from the first ran in a
legal channel. Those among the COM
pany who did not happen to be bar
risters or solicitors sat silent, listen
ing with vacuous smiles to the ex-
change of learned opinion which was
being carried on round them. One
only among this dumb minority, says
H. G.. Brown, in the Conclusions
of an Everyday Woman" seemed i'm
patient and i'll at ease.
He was a big, jolly, 1oosely-lnade
man, wearing clothes which some
how did not seem to set naturally on
him, the conventional dress suit APP
,pearing less appropriate to his hand
some figure than would have been,
say, the loose shirt and riding
breeches of a cowboy or colonial
squatter. His cheeks were bronzed,
and his bright, clear glance spoke
eloquently Of an outdoor life.
AS the dinner advanced and the
conversation plunged deeper and
deeper still into the profundities of
legal erudition, he became more and
more restless and perturbed. At last,
however, one of those lulls occurred
which may happen occasionally at
even a professional dinner, and it
was then that a resounding voice vi
brated through the room, causing the
learned brethren assembled there to
forget for an instant their profess
sional imperturbability.
"Now / am going to tell you all,
doomed the voice, "how we skin
steers down in Texas!''

The scarf remains.
Skeleton bodices are popular.
Long sash ends are novelty.
The Japanese wash silks are love-
lier than ever.
Fine null ties with colored dots are
very pretty.
Darned effects continue in favor in
the matter of embroidery.
Eyelet embroidery will maintain its,
vogue the coming season.
Large spots and tiny ones are mixed
in some of the new wells.
With the tailored suits coarse
mesh net waists will be much worn.
One of the prettiest toilette ''re-
freshers' is collarette made of os-
trich feathers.
A charming finish to the waist is
the tie known as the Directoire, made
of crochet lace.
The Irish crochet buttons will be
in the greatest evidence on the spring
and summer gowns.
Everything buttons. Crochet but
tons are used, but there is a prefer
ence for jet and pearl.
Sleeves are long and clinging, with
no fulness at the top and no cuffs,
or closely stitched ones.
The long lines of the plain skirt
are made to seem even longer by the
waistline being placed high.
There are just the same colorings
among the silk petticoats that there
are among the dress materials.
Extra smart blouses are of coarse
gold net, embroidered in dull rich
shades, and these are supposed to
carry out the color scheme of the
costume.
Elegant gowns are seen with no
trimming save large buttons, made of
semi-precious stones, or clever coun-
terfeits of them, set in rims of gold
and silver.
The three, four and six-piece skirts
are most used among the gored vari-
cites, as they can be more satisfac-
torily adapted to the new form Of
Directoire.
One of the prettiest new boleros
is of the brassier or shoulder strap
type, with much more material used
at the front than at the back. The
effect is quite novel.
The fine French cotton crepe and
the handkerchief linens seem to be
the two materials oftenest selected
for fancy blouses of the elaborate,
hand embroidered lingerie type.

her babies? Mortality statistics tell
an awful story Of the waste of hui
man energy witnessed by the high
death rate among infants. Almost
one-fourth of those who die annu-
ally in this country are babies under
the age of five years! Almost one
fifth are infants not one year old!
The life OF child under two years
old in New York City is computed by
economists to be worth exactly
$6S.45. Why so little? Because of
the unlikelihood of its growing to
manhood. 1t has practically no life
expectancy, therefore no insurance
company will insure a child under
two. The courts have repeatedly de-
clared that the life of baby was
worth absolutely nothing, when pa
rents have sued for redress for baby

week baby was run over in crowd

killed. So angry were the people
that they dragged the man of his
wagon and would have torn him to

Yet every day in that same street,
dirty milk is sold, contaminated
meats bought, dust and dirt and gar
bage spread in the air, to kill hun
dreds of babies, and not finger of
protest Is raised! 1t is not because
people do not value babies, but be-
cause they do not see what it is that
kills them.
