WOMEN RUN OWN EXCHANGES
Much Expense Is Attached to Conduct
ing These PraiseWorthy Enter
prises in Many Cities.

The general management of ex-
changes is about the same, wherever
situated, says a writer in the Woman $
Home Companion. A room or shop is
provided for the reception and display
of women's work, with paid saleSWom-
en- to conduct the exchange on bust
ness basis, competent bOOkkeeperS reg
istering goods received and keeping ac-
curate accounts of sales and moneys
due to consignors.
1t is obvious that such an OrganiZa-
ton, even on a small scale, is an eX-
pensive undertaking and the items of
rent, salaries, coal, lights, stationery,
wrappings, telephone and postage COM
prise a formidable expense account,
which should justly be borne by those
who benefit from its maintenance. The
revenues to meet expenses are OBJ
tanned in three ways. First, by small
annual fee of from 81 to 50 from each
consignor whose work is accepted; sec
ond, by a stipulated commission of
from 10 per cent to % per cent, ac-
cording to the size and location of the
exchange, which is deducted from all
sales; and third, from the dues OF the
board of managers and their personal
donations.

First Woman Doctors.

The first woman admitted to the
Ecole Medicine, the famous Paris med
zeal college, who also the first to be-
come a member of the New York Acad-
envy of Medicine, was DR.. Mary Put

seventy-five years ago. She was the
daughter of George P. Putnam, the
New York publisher, and studied in
several American schools before TAX
ing her degree in Paris in 1871. Two
years later she became the bride OF
DR.. Abraham jacob, native of Ger

charged with high treason" fer par

movement, and, settling in New York,

Curious School Customs.

Mexican schoolmasters show their
appreciation of pupils efforts in a
.cmi@fs manner. The dfIfgent sfuee1t
is allowed to smoke cigar during the
lesson. When the whole class has Civ
en- satisfaction permission is given for
a general smoke, and even the little
Mexicans are allowed to light ciga-
rette for the occasion. Needless to
say, the schoolmaster himself smokes
a cigar of size and quality proper
tionate to his superior position. But
the pupils are not allowed to drink,
this privilege being accorded to the
master only. On his desk he always
keeps a bottle of liquor, which, when
empty, occasions much dispute among
the parents of his scholars, as it is
considered an honor to be able to fill
the schoolmaster's bottle.

Describing HAPPINESS.

There are thousands of short story
writers anu minor poets, WIG tsasiT deef deal !
very effectively with battiefelds,
slums, maniacs, shipwrecks, disease
and a thousand forms of human de-
generacy, observes the New York In
dependent, but they are incapable of
making their characters happy with
out making them bored-and the read
er likewise. The pessimist declares
that evil, suffering and villainy are the
natural materials of literature be-
cause they are the fundamental real
tiles of life and happiness is only
mirage which disappears as one ap-
proaches it. The only trouble with
this theory is that it isn't so. We
know plenty of people who have been
happy, though we have yet to meet
the first Of them who could describe
how it felt.

Charles Dickens was confirmed

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
| Scientific Count Shows Perch 1912
Inches Long Contained 30,4eo-
More in Small Than Large.

Information concerning the number
of eggs produced by various species of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
According to the Allgemeine Fisch-
erei-Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarian trout
hatchery. The first investigations were
in connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; IS specimens of the
former and 81 of the latter were
stripped, and the ova counted. The
older and heavier fish were found to
have the most eggs (ranging up to
about $4,000, but the younger fish
yielded a decidedly larger number OF
eggs in proportion to the weight of
the fish.
The experiments were repeated with
perch (Perca fiuviatilis), in this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovaries being removed
and dissected. The number of eggs in
perch ranged from $40 for fish four
inches long up to 3O,490 for one 1912
inches long; but in this species, also,
the number of eggs per unit weight
of fish is much larger in small than
in large fish.-Scientific American.

Cremation of Hindu.

Strange ritual marked the ceremony
of the cremation of the body of fe-
male Hindu on the banks of the Zwart-
kops river (South Africa). The body,
in a coffin, was taken to the spot in
a hearse, where it was removed from
the coffin and placed on a pile of fag-
gots, which had been built up cradle
fashion ready to receive the body. De
ceased's daughter then walked round
the body three times with burning
torch and set fire to the pyre in sew
eral places. 1t took three and half
hours to cremate the remains, the
ashes of which were thrown in the
river. The coffin was also burned.
Permission was granted for the carry
ing out of the above by the town
council and the administrator.

Invented Graham Flour.

The use of Graham and whole wheat
bread has spread remarkably in the
last few years. The inventor of Ora
ham bread and flour was Rev. Sylves-
ter Graham, q New England clergy
man, who died in Northampton, Mass,
sc years ago, having devoted the
major part Of his life to the advocacy
of a vegetarian dietetic theory. In
1889 he introduced Graham bread,
made Of unsifted wheat -four, and
thereafter urged its use in books,
pamphlets and lectures. At first the
masses of housewives turned a deaf
ear toward his arguments, but grad
ually Graham flour won its way and
became en- established commercial
product.
