Trade Schools for Austrian Women.

alike Austrian women will enjoy a

the chemical and electrical trades.
Hitherto women have been rigidly

abroad or else attend expensive pri-

Portsmouth in Demand

The old gunboat Portsmouth, relic of
the days when the new navy" had
not been even dreamed of and walls of
oak were the ideal defense for the gal
liant tars who manned the old muzzle-
loading cannon with which on occasion
they could win such splendid victories
as are emblazoned on the pages of our
naval history-the obsolete, almost
worthless, old Portsmouth has suddenly
become a bone of contention for which
several interests are fighting. At pres
ent the vessel is assigned to the naval
militia OF New Jersey. The people Of
San Francisco want her because she
was in the bay before the old Spanish
puebla when that settlement, then
known as Yerba Buena, was taken by
| the forces of the United States, and
her presence is believed to have pre-
vented the British from interfering and
laying claim to California at that time.
But the Portsmouth is not sufficiently
seaworthy to warrant the navy depart
ment in permitting her to try to navi-
gate the high seas in order to reach the
Pacific coast, where it is desired to
moore her on San Francisco's water
front, as permanent museum and OBJ
| iect of historical interest Should San
Francisco provide for towing the old
ship around to the coast, the govern
ment might permit of her transfer.
Now, however, the naval militia have
her and want to keep her, and to COM
plicate matters still further, the marine
hospital service has got its eye on the
Portsmouth, and would like to have it
assigned to duty as a quarantine ship
at Mobile. In the meantime the navy
department is in a quandary, and does
not know what to do about it.

Planting Pecans

For two or three years past there has
been a rapidly increasing interest in
pecan culture. The improvement OF
the pecan nut has stimulated the inter
est in its growth, and the almost fabu-
lous stories Of the profits to be obtained
from its culture have led to the plant
ing of large areas to the nut. Several
large nurseries are sending out litera-
ture OF a very optimistic character, and
a journal is published in the interest OF
the nut growers. The department Of
agriculture has made some investiga-
tons regarding the culture Of pecans,
and it is receiving from four to 10 in
quiries daily about the nut, its culture,
habitat, and the probable profits to be
derived from it. 1t has no satisfactory
information to give, and it has begun
collecting data which may be of value
to growers and prospective growers.
c. A. Reed, one Of the experts en-
ployed by the bureau of plant industry,
has started out on a trip thru the south
to get in touch with the pecan situa-
ton. He will visit as many of the
original trees as possible, and will can
vass the situation in Georgia, North
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Texas, and perhaps other states.
He will report on the questions which
intending planters have been asking
about.
The pecan grows and hourishes as
far north as Indiana, Ohio and Illinois,
and as far south as Florida and Texas.
Its culture promises to become highly
important and profitable.
