LIcHs FIRST LOVE AFFAIR
Future Millionaire Was Repulsed by
Girls Father Because Of His
Poverty.

There are many stories OF the light
or side of finance In which love affairs
lind place. Perhaps none Of these
is more peculiar than the story Of
James Lick, a name famous all over
the world through monument to his
memory. the great Lick observatory
IN California. In the financial word
the great city OF San Francisco is a
monument to Bick's luck-,he foresaw
ne possibility of the great city of the
pacific slope, bought the landb on
which 1t now stands, and became a
millionaire. Before that time the
name of Lick was great In the musical
world. Lick's pianos-out of which
he made the money which he invested
in land-were manufactured by him.
But on the poetic side of lfe-a world
apart from such things as piano-mak-
ing and mud-hats-the great Lick Mill
stands as a monument to Lick's love.
In early life James Lick sought the
hand of a miller's daughter, but was
repealed by the father on the ground
that the young sutton did not posses
a mill Many years afterwards, when
he had become one of the richest men
in the states, he erected large mill
and adorned 1t like palace. 1t was
built of mahogany and costly woods,
and erected solely as memorial of
his youthful attachment. His only
pleasure was to contemplate this pa
latial mill and to gloat over the man
who had spurned him for his poverty.

Source Of Profit to Women.

Illuminating of documents is a new
field of work for women in England,
and 1t might recommend itself as a
congenial and profitable employment
for women in this country.
Mrs. Hamer-Jackson of London Is
urging women to take up the work,
which she says properly belongs to
them. Mrs. Hammer-Jackson is one
of the best illuminators in England.
She makes large income and does all
her work at home.
She describes Illuminating as an art.
Her work is devoted almost exclu'
sively to the decoration of public adj
dresses, books and cards in the fine
floral scrolls and designs, often spot
ted with gold and silver, in the style
of the old Anglo-Saxon and Gothic
manuscripts.
Mrs. Hamer-Jackson says there is
practically unlimited work to be done
for private persons. 1t Is her plan
to organize a school for the instruc-
ton of young women in the work.

 Average attendance IS.
 The progress of the Kindergarten move- ment has been very encouraging this year, because of, the increased number of kindergartens and the larger training classes, and also on account of greater appreciation of this work by school of- ficials, teachers, mothers and the public generally
 The course of training appeals particu- larly to those who have strong womanly instincts because it fits them for the work which is nearest to that of the mother. For those who are ambitious to teach well it furnishes helpful course in educational theory and practice, based upon psychology, child study and the history of education.
 For those who are inspired by ths modern sociological tendency in educa- tion 1t enables them to make something of themselves that they may do some thing for others.
 A senior realized her growth in self-con- trol one day when, confronted by chaos of small articles which a child had drop- ped she quietly said: ''Never mind; we can soon pick them up if you will help me"
 Applicants for training must be at least IS years of age and have the equivalent of a high school course.
 A Knowledge of music and drawing is strongly recommended.
 The regular course of training was strongly supplemented during the past year by Miss Nabers giving the manual work, Mrs. Joseph Montgomery the les sons in drawing and Mrs. J. H. Phillips the course in primary methods It is hoped that we can retain all that has been good this year and attain to still ,ri ba fully submitted. AGNES M. WILSON, Supervisor.

African Mosquitoes.

From the New Orleans Times-Democtat
 "The African mosquitoes intoxcate you. They inject so much poison into you that you are dazed, your eyes roll, and you stagger and speak thickly. In 0 word, you're drunk" said missionary
 'In the Nayassa. .coutry I'd always start getting ready for bed and the mosquitoes an hour before sunset. I'd set up my mosquito net with the utmost care I'd clamp down it's edges with valises and boxes. I'd light inside it three green wood fires, filling it with a bitter smoke that all insects are supposed to loathe
 ''Finally I'd get in myself. I'd smoke big pipes of the black native tobacco. and I'd long miserably in that hot, smoky atmosphere for the dawn.
 "Despite all my precautions, quite 200 or 300 mosquitoes would get inside my net as soon as darkness fell. They were like whirlwind in there. It couldn't have been worse. Their noise and their nipping made me feverisl-made me re- ally delrious at times.
 'At last in exhaustion I'd get few hours of troubled sleep, awaking for breakfast drunk from the poison inject ed by hundreds of tiny needles into my veins.
 NO; it isn't the elephants nor the gi- raffes that trouble the African hunter, but the 'skeeters.'

ITEM WELCO MED BY MANY MEN.

Climatic conditions here in the south are such as to materially lessen strength and enduring ca pacity of the average man, and won9an too. The following item and prescription should prove of untold benefit to those seeking better health.
 This recipe can be filled at home, so that no one need know of another's troubles, as the in- gradients can be obtained sepa- rately at any well stocked drug store. They are in regular use and many different prescriptions E are constantly being filled with them.
 This will prove welcome bit of information for all those who are overworked, gloomy, despond- ent, nervous and have trembling limbs, heart, palpitation, dizzi- fear with out cause, timidity in venturing, and general inability to act naturally and rationally as others do, because the treatment can be prepared secretly at home and taken without any one's knowledge.
 Overworked office men and the many victims of society's late hours and dissipation will it Is said, find the restorative they are in need of.
 If the reader decides to try it, get three ounces of ordinary syrup sarsaparilla compound and one ounce compound fluid balm wort; mix and let stand two hours; then get one ounce com pound essence cardiol and one ounce tincture cadomene com pound (not cardamom), mix all together, shake well and take a teaspoonful after each meal and one when retiring.
 A certain well known medical expert asserts that thousands of men and many women are suf- ferers all because of dormant circulation of the blood and consequential impairment of the nervous force, which begets the most dreadful symptoms and un- told misery.

or for worse" A month after the "nup- tial feast the man commences to repent and kick himself.
 Coquettes provide plenty of work for judge and lawyer, for they inevitably pay a visit to the divorce court. Coquettes should be bounded out of society, and marriages with them forbidden by the state.
 Imagine a girl who is pretty and fully aware of the fact. Follow her down. stairs in the morning, and hear how she complains of the same old breakfast" Take her out to lunch at the most fash ionable restaurant in town and see hoy she eyes the gowns of other women. Sat isfy her longing for something decent to wear" and take her to the most ex- pensive costumer and then note how she complains that she is still looking for dressmaker who knows her business"
 She makes new friends, spends all her time at social functions, has boxes at theatres (for which her husband pays), and her one aim in life Is to satisfy her craving for novelty. Matrimony is no ban to her, but rather an aperatif te | surreptitous love making. l If man falls in love with coquette, | let him be on his guard let him go big game shooting in central Africa, or let l him live alone in the desert-but never, never let him marry her!

Frono Ina New Work American.

From the New York American. a
 There is no doubt that Washington IT, wing knew what he was talking about when he said:
 ''He who keeps undisputed sway over the heart of a coquette is, indeed, hero"
 Never confuse a flirt with coquette. They are as different as chalk and cheese. A fiirt is a harmless creature, who firts just for the sake of flirting and has no serious intention. A coquette is a dan gerous person who deliberately trifies with a mans affections.
 The coquette is the callous sportswoman who kills for the sake of killing, and having killed, leaves the game on the moorland to rot.
 When the coquette tires of single bless edness she tampers with matrimony, and plays upon the vanity of a man until She persuades him to propose Her self consciousness is tickled by the submis- siveness of man, and she breaks the hearts of at least half a dozen before she finally consents to take one flor better

 EIyton Kindergarten.
 The Elyton Kindergarten opened auspi- ciously March Il, in a choice room of the new school building. A first-class kim dergarten outfit was obtained through the appropriation of s125 by the city council for that purpose. The mothers had previously evinced their enthusiasm by guaranteeing the teachers salary, and they continued this interest by visiting the Kindergarten frequently, Visitors to the school were taken to the Kindergarten by the principal and the teachers showed much interest
 Many persons doubt whether the kin dergarten is needed when the children come from favored homes but all /chil- dren have to learn primarily through their own experiences. The kindergarten justifies its existence by shaping life for those who are first meeting lfe's every day problems. A helpful spirit was de- veloped in te older children by letting them feel responsible in some measure for the little ones by assisting with their wraps, preparing Tor some or tnelr Work and showing them how to skip It was a triumph when the children found it was a pleasure to share their lunches instead of keeping the best for themselves. The mental development of the children was shown in their readiness to give back to the teacher, through drawings, pictures and plays, the thoughts which had been given to them in stories and conversation. Increased self-control was shown by giving up personal wishes to the regula- tions of the play in which they were en- gagged This is a fair initiative of good tendencies in three months.
