New Russian OIL Fields.

A newly verified Russian oil field,
with an area of about 10000 square
miles, or about twice the size of the
New England states, now energies
strangely from u mass of explorers
data to suggest pretty strongly that
current pessimlsm over the decreasing
output of the oil fields of the Caucasus
is not well justified. This new field,
according to Russia, the monthly organ
Of Il. Martens & Co., is located In the
Ural province, begins ut the Caspian
sea, taking fanlike shape to the north
as far as the town of AlexandrOvsky
Gal, runs nearly due east to the town
OF Temir and from there In a sOutherly
and southwesterly directions, following
the Emba river TO the Caspian sea
again. Although an attempt was made
by the government to encourage the
commercial exploration Of this cOun-
try as far back as 1899, no serious de-
velOpment work had been done until a
very short time ago. Russia more now
than ever, Is feeling effects OF the high
prices Of petroleum and Its absolute
necessity has led to the discovery OF
these fields.-Wall Street Journal.

Woman's Winning Force.

The winning force in woman's life Is
first of ALL purpose-a purpose which
carries with 1t the assent of reason.
the judgment of the mind and the ap
prOval of conscience.
This purpose must be your own
not another's. The sOrrOwful expert
ences of many women is that they
are always children, with no plan of
life, no will by which their energies
are to be directed.
Don't drift, but steer. Dare to be
singular. Scorn to degrade yourself
by yielding up your individuality to
suit the whim of the worthless.
Now and then woman stands aside
from the crowd, labOrs steadfastly and
straightway the world wonders, ad-
mires and crowns the determined
doer, and yet 1t only illustrates what
n growing and exhaustless force each
woman might become II she took hold
Of life with purpose.
Determine to live for something last
ing. Even goodness fails where there
Is no will.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character. You must hammer and
force yourself into one.

Chicory.

When, in oldcn times. sailing vessels
used earth for ballast. lots of weeds
and plants travelled from one country
to another as stowaways. That's the
way chicory came to America, after
seeing Europe first.
You have heard Of chicory. Its seed
formerly was largely used as an adul
terant Of coffee, and 1t was in so
great demand that 1t also was adul-
ternted with roasted wheat or barley.
Nowadays 1t is barred by pure food
laws, but some say that Its presence
improves the flavor of coffee.
Chicory grows profusely in the east
ern states, never far from the haunts.
Of man. It keeps regular hours, awak-
ening ut five in the morning and re-
firing at 10 a. m. During Its morning
"at home" 1t is visited by the elite of
the insects, for its blue flower is most
attractive to them.

DOMESTIC ART THEIR STUDY
Newly Founded School in Chicago
Provides Instruction for Both
Mistress and Maid.

A school of domestic art and science
where cooks may go to learn their
Job of cooking before taking the job
where housemaids may learn to lay
ables and clean silver and make
beds; where girls intending to be mar
ried may acquire the principles Of
housewifery, home nursing and the
care of small children is something of
an innovation. The prices charged for
:hese different courses is small COM
pared with that paid by employers
who must furnish the cost of their ig-
lorant servants experience or the an
guish and modification required of the
woman who undertakes the cOmpli-
.ated duties of marriage unprepared.
The school occupies an entire floor
In a building in the very heart of Chi
ago and runs u lunchroom in connec--
ton with the school, where food.
public and where prospective employ
ers may test the skill of their future
cooks and maids. Not the least of the
benefits Of this arrangement is the
recognition of the personal element
which figures so largely in the init
mate relations of domestic service.
Most women can tell as soon as they
meet whether they are going to get
along together, and 1t is nearly ap-
'roaching an ideal condition when.
without compromise, mistress and
maid may each observe the other un-
Ter normal circumstances.

RULER OF MECCA AT HOME
Typical Oriental Luxury Marks tho

Grand Sheriff.

In an article in the vernacular jour

In silk garments after the style of the
Ulemas of Egypt. He is well versed
In history, geography, geometry, arith-
metic and astronomy, and is regarded
as an authority by the Ulemas of
Mecca, Medina and Taft on the Shaira
laws.
"The sheriff sits in a large hall, the
iioor of which is covered with the
finest carpets, and all around are
hairs upholstered in white satin. Next

LITTLE ESSAY ON PANTS
Some Very Interesting Thoughts or
Those Worn by Male Of the
Species.

Pants are of two kinds; human and
dog.
The human pants of commerce are
worn mainly by males.
But equal rights prevail among
dogs.
Human pants are worn thicker in
winter and thinner in summer.
The dogs pants come thicker in the
summer.
The dogs lungs are the seat of its
pants. (Date 1875, Hostetter's AL
manac.)
White pants are not a garment. They
are business to themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work ut much else at the time.
When 1 was small and on farm,
wore pants that were not new.
So far as could find out, they never
had been new.
When they had been first worn out,
by the first tailless ancestor l had,
they had been patched ut all the ven
tilated places.
When the original goods wore out
between the patches, the first patches
We're connected by other patches.
And sew on.
Where they Overlapped-the patches
the goods became about an inch
thick.
And when human legs made of any
material less durable than vulcanized
flint are incased in II set Of inch-and-a-
quarter Deer Island jeans trousers
patched with every kind of heavy
goods from horse blankets to rem
nants of rag carpet-when, I say, any
human neither limbs are incarcerated
in these bendless tubular garments in
a wheat field on southwest hillside at
two O'Clock on clear, still day when
the temperature is 110 in the shade
and there is no shade, the owner of
said legs thinks longingly of the bas-
tile, the stocks, the pincers, the gull
lotine, the pillory, the thumb-screw
the rack, the stake and other religious
pleasantries.
l have gone long days in the wheat
field in pair of such asbestos pants
lined with sandpaper or barbed wire,
and now death or public speaking or
fashionable dinners-none of those
things has any terror for me.
l playfully inquire of death as to
the location of its stinger.-Farm Life.
