Is hardly any kind of manual labor
that Finnish woman will not turn her
hand 70, or any profession from which
she is debarred. save, perhaps, the
army and the church. And in Fin
land, at least, she generally succeeds
admirably in her business undertak-
ings. from the keeping Of a ledger
TO the roofing of a house. Let me
add that notwithstanding all this in
/ dependence OF thought and action the
Finnish woman has never sacrificed
the refinement indispensable to femin-
inc charm and influence. Her love OF
home and children is as strong as
that OF the most domesticated German
matron.

Collars or bands around the shoe

they are of contrasting leather. and
they are two or three buttons deep.
Trimmings for dress shoes consist
of leather bows and buckles at the

of pearl crystal and cut jet.
Tips are straight in cut, with a
single dot in the center. Perforated
tips are almost out. Shield tips are
also seen.

Don't Sneak of Rice.

To PROPOSALS. the saying of the an
cient cvnic. There Is nothing new un-
der the sum-" surely does not Apply.
From the time that Adam popped the
question to Eve by giving her raw
SQUASH to eat in Eden to the present
day it is probable that no two pro-
posals of marriage have been just
alike. Still, the latest form of the
world-old query just introduced TO
Richmond is somewhat startling. II
is nut thus, do you like rice?'
It was originated by a Memphis
man the other day. He was at hotel
dining with his Dulcinea, and ne
CHANGED to say, "Do you like rice"
"Why-er. y-e-s: but this is so sud-
den" murmured she. In an hour they
were married.
This delicate euphemism doubtless
refers to the sweet old custom OF
showerng rice upon the newly-wedS
lust after the ceremony. Other forms
of the query which will be all the
rage will be, would ribbon on your
trunk look good to you?' How about
old shoes" or DO you like the double
cross?"
In fact. as a Richmond lawyer
pointed out yesterday, a man cannot
be too careful and circumspect in ms
conversation with marriageable
woman 1t has been held by a court
in a II ,arby state that merely shoWin:s )
woman a house and asking her II
she thought il would be nice pla""
to live in is such an offer of marriage
as To Justify breach of promise suit.
Anoth.r has held that reference to a
woman as my girl" is likewise 4
good cause for legal action by the
woman in question.-Richlnnnd

THE cZAR'S APPETITE.
Russia's Ruler Is a Gourmand and a
TactIess Guest as Well.

The czar Of Russia Is a man who
certainly would have enjoyed that
l3. .OOO-mile western trip taken by
President Taft. He Is not very lively
in the discussion of politics or diplo-
macy, but is very keen for the pleas
ures Of the table.
While being entertained at Raccon-
igi. Northern Italy, the czar told King
Victor that the grand dinner given In
his honor was the most delicious re-
past yet offered him in the course OF
his foreign tours
Commenting on his remark, which
had been overheard, one Of the suite
explained that the czar was grievous-
ly disappointed over the dinners to
which he had been treated by Presi-
dent Falleres and King Edward.
When the czar arose from his meal
at Cherbourg he remarked sotto voce
to his aide-de- camp, who Is the
Archie Butt of Russia:
"A beastly disappointment: not
sou over fifteen francs head
Signs Of particular disgust showed
on the cars face when the iced mel
on hors d'oeuvres were brought on.
President Fallieres invariably INDUCES
in this luxury. The czar, however,
lacked the tact evidenced by President
Taft when certain of the southern
states served their favorite dishes. He
refused to smile and look like the cat
that ate the canary. He made a wry
face and uttered this ominous indict-
ment:
"In dismissng Loubet's unrivaled
chef Faliers has wrought a national
calamity"
King Edwards economy, according
to the cZar, was in keeping with the
popular report that his finances are
straitened, owing to his meager in
come. which is many times larger than
our own Mr.. Taft's. And 1t might be
remarked in parenthesis that Mr..
Taft's White House dinners are some
thing never dreamed of in Horatio's
philosophy.
The south and west which enter
tanned MI. lalt SO roydlly' Will sihiie
in their sleeves when they read the
czar's description Of King Edwards
royal banquet:
ITO start with, an insipid potage
la refine, then lobster sauce, fol-
lowed by poorly cooked mutton chops,
iellied yenison, chicken and asparagus
which had outlived its best days, and
pauper dessert-fve francs to cover
would have satisfied the most Scrupu-
lous conscience"
Certainly little 'possum would have
helped some.-Washingto Post.

Chamber of Commerce Excursion

Suqqested.-The successful trip OF the
South Carolina Press association over
the Carolina, Clnchfield and Ohio rail-
idea of operating what may be known
as a South Carolina Chamber Of Com
merce excursion over. this route some
time during the month of july. The
idea is to give every Chamber of Com
merce in the state an opportunity to
send a delegation of it's members on
this trip, that they may become. more
intimately acquainted with that
splendid region brought into closer
touch with South Carolina through the
building of this new and most modern
railroad. All appreciation of the great
possibilities for the development of
South Carolina, through the improve
ment of it's railroad facilities is a thing
greatly to be desired, and a first hand
knowledge Of what has been done by
the c. c.. & o. railroad can not but
prove an inspiration to every city in
South Carolina. We quote South
Carolina newspaper man to illustrate
the idea. Il believe" he said, IF 1t
were possible to carry the business
men of Columbia and Charleston over
this road, let them see it's construction
and the wonderful coal region it opens,
there would I've such n demand for the
completion OF this road from Spartan
burg to the sea, thai work would be
begun in sixty days" And that's the
idea. South Carolnians must wake up
to the possibilities that lie about them
for the development of their state and
they must work together to that end.
A South Carolina Chamber of Com
merre excursion over this road will be
educative and will open to the people
Of the cities of the state a closed VOL
ume upon the possibilities that lie at
their very hands. The plan the Herald
would suggest in carrying out such an
excursion would be to assign to each
Chamber Of Commerce in the state a
certain number of tickets, requiring
that these be sold to persons promi-
nent and influential in their respective
cities. All told not more than l6O per-
sons can be handled comfortably on
one train such as was provided Tor the
Press association. And for that rea-
son the number must be limited. The
start would be made from Spartan
burg; the ticket would be just enough
to cover the expense of the movement.
We dare say the Spartanburg Cham
ber of Commerce will indorse such an
excursion and will be found working
for its success. incidentally 1t would
be a splendid advertising proposition
for this city, and for all other cities
that take advantage of the trip. Ev-
cry city in the state should he repre-
sented, but the idea should appeal most
strongly to those towns between Spar
tanburg and Columbia and Columbia
and Charleston, which might be reach
ed by the G. G. & o. should it be built
to harleston.-Spartanbu Herald.

They cut the cords that held the bal

ascent was majestic, and when at a
height of 200 feet the balloon swept

Pilatre hastened to let some cold

HOPE OF THE SOUTH.
To Educate Country Boys and Coun'
try Girls In the Country.

Travelling this week across con-
siderable section of our Progressive
Farmer and Gazette territory we
could but dream of the time When all
our southern country shall become
as fair as the rural districts OF France
and England as we saw them TWO
wears ago-when our muddy roadS
shall give way to beautiful highways;
when our old fields shall be redeeilleu
to life and usefulness; when our nan
cultivated patches shall be convert
ed into broad and fertile fields: When
herds of cattle and focks of sheep
dot our hillsides; when a gully shall
be reckoned a disgrace and hre-
ruined wood a crime: when cabins
and ugly cottages shall be replaced
by homes made beautiful by loving
care, however humble they may be;
and when a thickly- settled and well
trained population shall not only re-
lieve country life of that lsolatloh
which has most retarded It's develop
ment, but shall give needed support
for all the conveniences of twentieth
century rural life-rural telephones,
water-works the township high school
with its public library and lyceum
course: the school a center OF IN
tellectual and the church of spiritual
activity, each giving symmetry ana
and beauty to a community life Whlch
finds its material basis in high de-
gree of efficiency on the part or the
average man.
Even as the painter when he goes
to his canvas, sees with his mind s
eye some beautiful vision which ne
is to work out even so all of us should
have before us as we go about our
daily tasks this vision of the south
that is to be. and the part, however
insignificant, that we may nave III
helping it's fulfillment. We should all
of us like to live to see ii with our
own eyes. as Moses yearned to see the
promised Canaan to which he led ms
people. But whether we shall see II
with the physical eye or only In our
dream. it is enough that we may nave
a hand in bringing it about, enough
that we may work intelligently ana
unselfishly to hasten the coming or
this better day.
And the one way is by giving the
child a chance. That boy Of yours,
that boy of your neighbor's. who al
ready has the basis of all character
in that he is learning to work. that
boy who warns his feet cool morn
ings i'm the place where the cows lay
the night befOre"-he is the hope or
the south. That girl of yours. that
girl of your neighbor's. whose mind
and spirit will some day give tone
and color to everything in a home
she is the hope of the south. And
only through the school they can be
developed.
The boy and girl in the towns are
getting good schooling; the farm boy
and girl in the north and west are
getting good schooling. Shall it be.
then, that among all our twentieth
century American youth the southern
farm boy and girl alone shall enter
life's race handicapped by shackleS
of ignorance?
1t must not be so. The best invest
ment the south could make in 1910

viding the best of facilities can we

ENGLAND IN EGYPT.
Public Revenue Twenty Times as
Great as When British Control Be-

Public Revenue Twenty Times as
Great as When British Control Be-
gan.
When England assumed sole con-
troll in 1882 Egypt was still bankrupt,
with a public debt Of more than
$500, 100000 and an income insuffi-
cient to pay the interest and carry on
the government.
The public revenue in 1882 amount
ed to $4,50O,000; in 1907 to $S1,50O,-
600, more than $10,000,000 in excess
Of the expenditures. On January l,
1908, the sum Of $45,000,000 was in
the general reserve fund and the pub
lie debt was reduced in 1908 by ST.
500, 900: it now is $479,000,000.
The cities and towns were without
any drainage or sewerage, says The
World Today. Only within ten years
even Cairo itself, with a death rate
Of forty-six per one thousand, has
undertaken any such public work. In
the country every canal was polluted
and stagnant pools Of filth were near
every village.
The annual pilgrimages to Mecca
were likewise the means Of intro
ducing many diseases. Cholera and
other epidemics were Of frequent oc-
currence, and their ravages carried
off thousands and thousands of the
population.
Little by little the various Difficult
ties Of the situation have been studied
and solved by the administration, un-
til now Egypt may be considered a
reasonably healthy country. or
course vast sums of money have been
required to effect such a result.
At first enormous difficulty was en-
countered by the English in making
changes in the system Of taxation, be-
cause the people, so long accustomed
to the betrayal Of their interests,
thought the plans proposed were sim
ply for the purpose Of increasing their
burdens. Little by little, however.
they learned that another era had
opened, and finally their suspicious
were calmed. They then began to
work with renewed energy, and now.
secure in the fruits Of their labor.
they are not merely improving their
own conditions but are building up
the reputation Of their country.
