Energy is the keynote Of the campaign.
Edward Cooney, the leader of the sect,
is the son Of an Enniskillen magistrate.
He has a wonderful flow of language and
his sermons are interspersed with racy an
ecdotes. He easily holds his followers dur
ing his long discourses. He breaches on
the unworthiness of all existing churches
and the uselessness of worldly possessions.
The baptimal ceremony, from which the
sect takes its name, is performed in an adj
jacent stream running along the valley.
The leader doffs his boots and wades in
the water to the center Of the stream.
Then he gently lowers the convert back

Of royal women, smokes cigarettes in
%cSssantly.
Queen Alexandra Of England and Queen
Victoria OF Spain do not smoke. and the
German empress has taken a decided
stand against smoking among the women
Of her court.
Smoking among women Is perhaps all
right--in Europe. We can imagine the
pleased expression on an English hus-
bands face when he goes home OF an
evening and finds his wife extended in
an easy chair, enjoying solid comfort
as she puffs smoke rings at the ehande-
lier. We can fancy the European maid
when her lover proposes flicking the ash
from her cigarette while she coolly con-
siders his proposition, or, In another
mood, planting upon his lips a kiss redo
lent of Egyptian stralght-cut.
A pretty picture the empress dowager
of Russia must make with a cigarette
hanging from the corner of her mouth,
and Alfonso's kingly . bosom must thrill
with pride when he sees the queen mo.
Their putting at a big black cigar.
But even with these deleetable fancies
to cheer us, we can but hope that smok-
ing as a feminine indulgence will keep
the width OF the ocean between itself and
us. The stain a cigarette leaves on a
woman's fingers seems on this side of the
Atlantic somehow to go clear through her
and soil her, too.

We solicit advertising on one basis only.
We claim the ability to outsell everyone else.
We claim to make one dollar sell more goods
than from two to ten dollars without us.
Our hundreds of clients have already proved
this. Our business-the largest of its kinds
a result of that fact.
We are ready to prove the same to you, with
out asking any commitment.
The proof can be given in actual figures
given in your own line, and in rather short
order.
When we do this, WI will offer to handle
your advertising on the usual agents commits

If ever another agent proves the power to
outsell us, we shall expect you to change to
him.
There is a simple way to prove to a certainty
which agency can sell the most goods. If in

Women Must Learn to Buy.

Mrs. Ellen II. Richards Of the Institute Of
Technology in Boston, who IL regarded as
an authority on domestic science subjects,
says that 1t Is impossible for a woman to
buy wisely when she is not conversant with
the way articles are manufactured and
what they contain. Women used to be bet
ter buyers when they spun and made their
own garments. They could look over the
work Of some one else and Judge 1t wisely
and know what II was worth, but they
can not do that now. The remedy, she
says, lies in educating women in the
manufacture and construction OF house
hold articles. The average woman does not
know the kind of picture, ornament or
work Of art that she is buying. She has
to take the word Of some clerk, and 1T
stands to reason that she should know as
much about it as he. A whole college
course Is not too long. she says, to teach
women how to buy. Men must serve long
apprenticeship in stores before they are
made buyers, and women who spend most
of the money should be just as competent.
1t is not enough to teach young women
to cook. That is only the beginning Of the
things they ought to know, IL they are to
be housekeepers and home-makers. They
must know the chemistry Of cooking and
how to buy judiclously.

issue Of this periodical he devotes himself
TO a consideration Of this subject. Part
Is as follows:
1T Is idle, indeed. to speak OF the ex-
clusion Of women from the occupations.
They are entering them from the top and
from the bottom. The m-conditioned are
being forced into them and the well-con-
ditioned-those whom men have been edu-
eating while deploring the use OF their
education-are already entering them In
considerable numbers at the top. And they
are finding new and characteristic ways OF
giving to society that reserve Of affection
and nurture which they have heretofore
reserved for the child and the home.
I'm the year 1900 there we're more than
100000 women gainfully employed in the
United States las against 23,753,s36 mem,
the rate Of increase between 1890 and 1900
Of the number Of women so employed was
much greater than the corresponding in
crease for the employment OF men Qor
women. S2s per cent: for men, 21s per
cent?, and the number Of women gainfully
employed Increased more rapidly In the
decade than the female population. So,
whether we wish 1t or not, the old order
is already changing rapidly. II is too late
to theorize on this point. II means sim
ply that the old idea that all women should
live on the activities Of men and should
limit their own interests TO the bearing
and rearing Of children has gone to pieces"

Smoking Among European women


Smoking in the last few years has be-
come a habit among many women of
fashionable society in European countries,
relates the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In England, the slowest of nations to
adopt anything new, smoking among wo-
men has become quite customary. The
telltale yellow stains on the taper fingers
Of hands weighted witt Jewels, we are
told by returned travellers n contem-
porary books, are too frequent to create
comment. At functions devoid of form

smoke or not has been nswered in the
affirmative by a number Of European royal
women. The empress dowager Of Russia
smokes cigarettes regularly. Queen Car
