-ODAY no business, however
small, Is conducted exclu-
sively on the one-man basis.
Small stores as well as large
corporations periodically call in the
expert TO go over books and keep
their affairs free from tangles. This
expert may be the expert account
ant whose work lies chiefly with
the finances OF the firm; or 1t may
be the specialized efficiency enGi-
neer" who is more interested in pro-
duction methods of the firm and
the ways employees are managed. In
any case, the modern business man
is willing to admit that he doesn't
know 1t all and that there are men
trained for the work outside of his
own business who can give him
points nevertheless about running
his own business.
But how about the woman In the
home? Does she ever. is che will

college where she would be admitted
as a medical student.
She applied for admission to num-
bers Of colleges and was emphatic
ally refused the opportunity to
study. At last she applied for en-
New York. The faculty Of the school
were against the idea. but decided to
refer II to a student vote. The STU
dents, who were-according to ira
ottoman unrulv lot. enthusiastic
ally approved the admission of Mss
Blackwell, yet most of them had
forgotten their vote, when. in the
following autumn. the woman pupil
took her place amng the boys at
the first lecture. Dcrision gave way
to admiration at length. and tradi-
tion again comes TO the rescue with
the comment that speedy reform set
in among the young men form
erly deemed incorrigibie.
Miss Blackwelrs life In Geneva
ives not always as pleasant as her
hours at school for she could not
obtain board at any home in town
because she was a woman and was
studying medicine. In fact. it be-
came necessary for her to huy
house.
After her medical studies at Ho-
bart COLLEGE were completed. she did
graduate work in Farls ana London,
returning to the United State to
practice in 1851. In 1859 she returned
to England. dying there in 1910 at the
age of eighty-nine.
DIR. Blackwell was one of the
founders of the infirmary of the
Woman's Medical College of New
York and a number of hospitals and
infirmaries In England. One of the
latest tributes to her memory is the
new dormitory for women at Ho-
bart College, her American alma
mater. which has been named "Elz-
abeth Blackwell Hall"

kitchen architect. She knows the
most step-saving plans. the manu-
facturers and most improved equip
ment. and Is competent to design
new or old kitchens so that the
worker can accomplish things with
the least work and effort. 1t sounds
like a glorious career. Dozens OF
letters come to this woman and she
receives personal requests for help
In the many kitchen problems. but
possibly one per cent of the in
quiries and calls are paying. In
other words, women will not pay
for service or for expert knowledge
on their own business.
They will pay a doctor or a law
yer or a palmist, or they will pay
SIS for a hat. 40 for a Georgette
crepe. or s279 for a cut glass fern
dish. But will they pay a house
hold expert, a dietician, or a kitchen
architect. or be willing to lay down
a greenback for service. information
or assistance? At the same time,
there is great cry that their home
Is mismanaged. but they can't see
where to save or manage better.
Whose fault is It?

ing the great law of the central life Of

Man is a being constantly changing,

be viewed either from within or from
without, or from both points of Tantage
Whether the exterior development of
man causes the interior or the reverse.
or whether they are parallel. neither

settled question to a great body Of
physical scientists.
But in the mind Of the metaphysician
there is no doubt that within every hu-
man organism is a germ Of Individual
spirit, Of character. or of personal con-
sciousness. The real man, which Is

mind. grow through experience.
Forming Individuality.
It Is the inner man, back of the nerv-
GUS system, back of intelligence and
will, who has the power to organize ex-
perienees and benefit by them. A dog
may look, on art treasures for a hun
dred years and still be the same old
dog, but a man cannot live In any en-
vironment without being influenced
thereby. The more developed his nerv-
GUS system is the greater is the influ-
ence exerted by environment. The more
highly evolved the individual Is the
more developed Is his nervous system.

Turkey Welcomed In Every Country Where the People Appreciate
 Good Things to Eat.

In every corner of the globe almost, at least where civilization has spread its epicurean tastes, may be found the domesticated turkey-not, however, of his own volition Never would he, in his wild state, have sought to cross the stormy seas to find green fields and pastures new.
 He is not so constructed. He is not bold or adventurous of disposition. On the contrary, he is timid and much afraid of things he does not under stand, and when undisturbed is prone to let we'll enough alone and get along with his accustomed feeding grounds.
 Again, as a flier the turkey is not a pronounced success. He flies pom derously, almost painfully, and with great effort and only when much frightened. His flight can be sus- tained for only short distance, but what the wild turkey lacks as an avi- ator he fully makes up as sprinter.
 He can outrun a race horse, espe- cially in his own native forest, where undergrowth and bushes seem but to add to his speed. But he could not have flown over the ocean even if he had had that unnatural desire.
 He was taken over by the hand of man, first to Spain then to other Medi- terranean countries, to northern Flu rope, to the far East, until now he is well-nigh omnipresent. And this spreading out of his kind even unto the ends of the earth is all due to the entrancing qualities his meat takes on when properly baked or roasted.

MAN TAKES SECOND PLACE
Many Ways in Which He Is Inferior to the Partner of His Joys
 and Sorrows.

A man can't do two things at time. A woman will broil a steak and see that the coffee does not boil over, and watch that the cat does not steal the remnant of the meat on the kitchen table, and dress the youngest boy, and set the table, and see to the toast, and stir the oatmeal, and give the orders to the butcher, and she can do it all at once, and not half try.
 Man has done wonders since he came before the public. He has navi- gated the ocean, he has penetrated the mysteries of the starry heavens, he has harnessed the lightning, and made it light the great cities of the world.
 But he can'tyfind reel of thread in his wife's workbasket; he can't dis cover her pocket in dress hanging in the closet; he cannot hang out clothes and get them on the line the right end up. He cannot hold clothespegs in his mouth while he is doing it, either. He cannot be polite to somebody he hates. He cannot sew on button. In short, he cannot do a hundred things that women do almost instinctively.

Care of Goldfish.

A globe of two or three goldfish with bit of green seaweed makes a pretty centerpiece. and they are inex- pensive and easily cared for. They should be placed at some distance from stove and register and not in the rays of the sun. They endure ex- tremes of cold rather than heat In the bottom of the globe place some small stones, bit of sand, little char coal and a spray of cabomba, fine water plant. Feed them little at a time. Once in two weeks remove them to pail of muddy water for an hour, clean the globe, replace the shells, stones. etc.. and refill with clear. cold water.
