FEATS OF PENMANSHIP. SCIENCE NOTES. riOSIHESB rAXD' Length of Lira of Nnnci. A scientist has gives some statistics of the mortality among hospital nurses. Thus a healthy girt of 17, devoting herself to nursing, died on an average twenty-one years sooner than a girl of the same age moving among the general population, while a hospital nurse at the age of 25 has the same expectation of life as a person at the age of 58 in the ordinary community.

The long hatpin Is regarded with esteem, not only as a valuable imple ment of the toilet, but also ns an in strument of defense, and well is that foung woman armed who 1ms the courage to use It when attacked. This was shown in New Jersey recently when a Millvillc girl was seized by a highwayman. She put him to igno minious flight by jabbing the weapon into him with such effect that he was glad to get away. Highwaymen have reason to fear the hatpin, but peaceable law-abiding -citizens also stand in danger of being punctured by the sharp points. One of New York's dnngers in this era of indented chapeaux, perched on the top of masses of ringlets and puffs, is the murderous weapon projecting out the side of the fall hat. Men riding in the street cars stand in constant dread of losing their eyesight, because ot the business point of the hatpin thus menacing them. The altitude of ' woman's hat is normally on the level of a man's eyes, and when the car aisles are packed poor man is power less to dodge the points of hatpins, which stick out in all directions. In rounding sharp curves when there is much swaying among the strap-hangers, a man faces blindness or a terri ble gouge in the cheek from the ex posed point of the hatpin. It is sug gested that corks be worn on the tharp points to save injury to the pub tic. They might be made very orna mental, and as a safety device would be welcomed. Women With Fed oral Job. It is more than forty years since Ceneral Spinner, who has been called "the father of the employment of wom en in the Federal service," found places for a few women in the Trcas ory Department at Washington. He was then Treasurer of the United States, and there was a great dearth of eligible employes in consequence of the drafts made upon the young men of the country by the Civil War. Gen eral Spinner proposed the employment of women in place of men, and the 4dea which be started has gone on al most uninterruptedly since, but not to the extent that is popularly supposed. By the last Government report it 'appears that there are 122,000 men in the Federal service of the Government as clerks, bureau chiefs and messen gers, of whom not one-half receive $850 a year or less. There are 11,250 women and girls In the Federal departments, of whom 6303, somewhat more than half, re ceive less than 5720 a year. Of this number 2000 are in the postoflicc serv ice, 1150 in the Treasury Department, 1500 in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 1000 in the Indian service, 050 in the Government Frlnting Ofllce, 203 in the War Department, 050 in the Tension Office, 80 in the Navy Dc partmcut, 797 in the Department of Agriculture and 19 in the Department of State. Less than ten per cent, of the Fed eral employes are women, and a great majority of them hold minor positions t small pay. An outcry was made after the close of the Civil War by those who feared that by the employ ment of women and girls men were deprived of a fair chance of livelihood in Washington, but the fact is that the number of men has increased very much more largely than the number of women in Federal departments (hiring the last twenty-five years. New York 8un. Rage For Irlih Crochet. If there is a craze for real Irish cro chet, the fashionable world is com pletely mad ou the subject of "Baby Irish." It was the real Irish that Lady Aber deen saved from being totally forgot ten as an art. Wheu she got the idea of making it a source of revenue to the half-starving, beautiful, blue-eyed Irish peasant girls whose deft lingers liad not lost the cunning of the Stitches which they had learned in youth. Lady Aberdeen learned the art of making It from her; learned the few patterns the old lady. knew, and then set herself the task, first of teaching the Irish girls, aud then of creating a market for the lace they made. That's how she came to bring Irish crochet lace over to the World's Fair; bow site came to establish depots in Dublin and London and I'aris; and why, in the end, Irish crochet lnce has come to be the most important lace in the world today. Baby Irish is like real Irish, except that the thread is much finer and the knots aud threads are repeated many times more often. The patterns are miniatures of the real Irish patterns, and now number somewhere in the thousands, as against tf.e three first learned by Lady Aberdeen. And now France the ubiquitous Is making Irish crochet and Baby Irish; but with her fingers! She is doing it by machine throwing the real Irish designs on the Baby Irish mesh, and creating a genuine French edition of this most exquisite and snowy lace. All three are to !) worn extrava gantly this fall and winter for trim mingsyokes, chemisettes, culls, with the luce edge down; collars and whole waists for the prettiest of all Baby Irish is found in the allovers. New Haven Register. A Home of Silence. '"The silent house," standing near Center, Howard County, Ind., has a pathetic history. Twenty-three years ago Terry Mugg built the house for himself and pretty bride. They were considered the happiest and best mated couple of all the country round. But after a year the young bride became ill and died. After the body was consigned to earth in the country churchyard, the heart-broken husband returned to the lonely cot tage and without removing or touch ing a single article of furniture, cloth ing or other household goods, nailed up the windows, drew down the cur tains and locked and barred the door3. The interior of the cottage was left just as it was when the form of the fair young bride was carried out to that rural burial ground. On a stand In the sitting room Is a work basket containing sewing material and knit ting. The needles are rusted into fragments. The lamp is there as if ready for lighting. The favorite arm chair is drawn up as if awaiting the occupancy of the mistress. On a cen tre table is a Bible, a hymnal and Sunday school papers. From the pegs and nails on the walls hang pictures, clothing and other articles. The pic tures are all but obscured by the dust of years, and are ready to drop to the floor with a crash when the rotten cord shall have given away. On the mantle is the little clock that marked the fatal hour, and in keeping with its surroundings relapsed into perpet ual silence. The window curtains, now frayed and musty with the rav ages of time, enable the curious to obtain a partial view of the interior ot the cottage. Decay and ruin are pain fully evident. The moths have eaten great holes in the carpets. Curtains, clothing, bedding, furniture and wall adornments are ready to crumble with a touch of the hand, or a breath of air. Terry Mngg is bending now with age, and time has turned his hair white, but he is still true to bis first love, and has never remarried. To him the spirit of her whose memory he so devoutly cherishes, dwells near this house, and passing it daily going to his work he enforces respect toward It. "When I meet her in another home above, this earthly structure may be used or torn away, but not be fore," he declares. A 'r- .A The princess skirt Is shown in-many new designs, and various materials are used. For fall wear the tailor gown is the flr3t one needed, and as usual there are various designs. The newest skirt is circular in de sign, and the long, tight-fitting coat Is worn with these. Some skirts are pleated and others cut in gores, close fitting at the waist and hips, spreading well at the foot line. Simplicity is the keynote of all the designs simplicity of lines; for trim mings contiuue to be used, but less elaborate in effect. Among the very new models princess street frocks are seen. These are not nlways in one piece, many of them be ing made in two pieces. It is probable that skirts will be short for rainy weather and morning wear, while those for occasions of more consequence will be. longer, says the Pilgrim. Mink coats have the fashionable Capuchin hoods, in which a bind or fold of tangerine velvet gives a great effect, and these hoods ore the occa sion for the introduction of very beau tiful embroideries. The thin woman with her small waist and moderate hips can appear at her best in the corselet skirt, while her two thin arms and shoulders are prettily decorated and fluffed out in any style she pleases.

Men's Skill In Writing Much in Small Space. The feat of writing the Lord's Firm er upon a space which a sixpence would cover is so familiar as to tease to be wonderful; but one cannot re aits a tribute of genuine astonishment to a man who can write the whole of our national anthem a Ion ft the thin edgo of au ordinary visiting card, and who h:is actually penned biographies of Kn& ISdwnrd and several members of hla family upon a tiny grain ot wheat. Such a microscopic "call! graphist" is M. J. Sofcr, a French gentleman who, we should say, could safely challenge the whole world to rivalry in his own field of penmanship. Perhaps more wonderful still ' are the portraits of celebrities which M. Sofer produces out ot their biograph ies. His presentment of the Czar, fot instance, is not only a clever likeness, but every stroke In it is a part of the continuous life of the Russian emperor in letters so minute that to the un aided eye they seem part of an or dinary penline, while the artist is at present engaged on a similar picture of King Edward, to he made up of his biography, containing 41,000 U tters. There has probably never been a time when this art ot minute penman ship has not exercised its fascinations. In Cicero's time, about 2000 years ago. the whole of Homer's "Iliad" was copied so microscopically that It was placed in a nutshell, and a few cen turies later an artist wrote a short poem and inclosed it in a hollowed grain of corn, while still another pen man In these long gone days actually wrote a verse of Homer on a grain ol millet. PedottI, a fourteenth century Italian,- performed the most astounding feats with his pen. He wrote a poem of over one hundred lines in a little space on larger the.n his finger nail, made an elaborate landscape sketch, in cluding a shepherd and a drove of sheep, which a grain of corn completely cov ered, and penned a long treatise on poetry In such minute letters that the manuscript had the appearance of a close series of perfectly straight lines, while he dedicated to Urban VI. a his tory of the papacy, which took the form of an excellent likeness of the pope in whose honor it was written. Urban was incredulous when he was assured by the artist that it was com posed of more than 12,000 words in the form of a consecutive history, and exclaimed, as well he might. "Why, this is nothing less than a miracle." But Italy has no monopoly of these minute callgraphlsts. Many centuries ago Peter Bales, an English Chancery clerk, we learn from the Harlelan manuscripts, transcribed the whole of the Bible in such small compass that he was able to inclose it in a walnut. "The nut lioldeth the book," we are told, ' there are as many leaves in his little book as the great Bible, and he had written as much in one of his little leaves as a great leaf of the Bible." And not to he outdone by Peter Bales, another Englishman of the 17th century, one Henry Mason, copied tho whole of "Paradise Lost" and enclosed his manuscript In a hen's egg. As we have seen, M. Sofer is by no means the first pen artist who has made a portrait the medium of a long narrative. At the British Museum there is to be seen an excellent like ness of Queen Anne, little larger than half a sheet of notepaper, every deli cate line of w hich is made up of words and sentences, the entire narrative be ing sufficient to fill a small volume; and at St. John's college, Oxford, there is a head of the martyred King Charles I., which, although to all ap pearance a delicate engraving, is simi larly compose With, the help ot a microscope you can read in the lines of the face and. the ruff the whole of the Psalm3, the Lord's Prayer and the Creed. Tit-Bits. "Dying" Pearls. The late Mme. Thiers, writes a Paris correspondent, bequeathed to the Louvre a pearl necklace valued at the date of the bequest at 00,000 francs. It is under a glass case, which is let down every evening into a cellar. The pearls are found to be "dying," that is to say, losing their orient, for want of contact with the human skin. A journal, surely un learned in French law, proposes that Mile. Dosne should authorize the Louvre authorities to sell this neck lace and buy in Its stead some gem of art. She has no more power to do this than any utter stranger to the Thiers family. A law would be re quired to give legality to any sale or other way of disposing of the pearls. The Trincesse Mathilde often wore hers, and sent them for treatment to French consuls In Arabian ports. Two of her solitaire pearls for earrings sold afler her dieath for 1,000,000 francs. Didn't Want to Lose Her. A bride and bridegroom from "up state" went Into the Savoy Hotel a day or two ago and asked- for a room. They were assigned to one on the top floor. "Is that very high up?' asked the bridegroom. "It's o nthe top floor, but It's a fine the clerk began. "Gimme me something on the first floor up," interrupted the bridegroom. "If they should be a fire or anything I want to git Nellie out. I had a hard 'nough time glttln' that woman to take chances on losln' her this soon." Kansas City Times. Four shillings per annum was the rent of a fivo-roomed house in Hunry VIII.' l time. VALUE OF EARLY MOULTER3. Of really more value than the earli est batched pullets, are the early moulters the hens which are now shedding their feathers and getting into their fall and winter, coats. They are the hens that stand us in for prof it In our poultry during the late fall and early winter months. The early laoulters should be watched after closely aad given the very best of at tention. Care should be taken now to keep them free from mites and lice. This can be best effected by keeping their roosting perches well oiled with coal oil, care also being taken to chase a blaze of burning paper along the under-side of the perches about once a week, to keep any vermin from lodging aud hntching there. Then we (mould see to it that they have a good place in which to dust. This la very Important, as it tends to keep them free from the pest3 mentioned It Is nature's way and also to hasten the dislodgement of ripe feathers, or rath er, the dead feathers they are en gaged in moulting and in hastening the process generally. It is a good plan to keep the early moulters in a separate enclosure from the gener al flock and give them the choice bits of food from the wastage of the kitch en and the table, for variety In this line means hea'.th and thrift for the fowl's. As the season advances and the cooler nights come on, tempered, or intensified by early frosts, It's a good idea then to roost the early moulters warmly, so that they may keep up a continuous progress and have no back-sets of any kind. This system of feed and management, will bring the hens Into early fall laying and hold them to it all through the winter, when their eggs may either be sold at a good profit, or set. In incu bators and converted into valuable chickens. The early pullets should have similar care and attention, for they are also of much value In the early winter season. H. B. Geer, in Tho Epitomlst. KEEP A FEW SHEEP. "The price of sheep has reached a point where it is profitable to produce them for wool alone, which fact Is made more evident by a visit to the show yards of any of our leading fairs," says an old sheep breeder. "If we can accept as reasonable authority a large number of entries in fine wool sheep, there is where we get a fore runner of the future." He believes that the most profitable sheep to grow with the price of wool Is a medium-size sheep with a good caT cass of mutton, and good, dense fleece of medium wool. "When we undertake to produce a wooled sheep with no reference to the mutton qual ity and gain but a few cents' worth of wool, and when we seek only mut ton without Tegard to the wool quali ty, we meet the same objection on the other side." He thinks there is room on every farm for a few good sheep, and certainly in this day, when there are so many good breed ers striving to excel, offering their stock at moderate prices, there is no excuse for any farmer to still be growing scrubs. A few sheep can be kept on every farm with a small out lay and with profitable results. It Is only when one attempts to make a specialty of the sheep business that expense becomes apparent and train ed experience necessary. A few sheep will keep fat picking up weeds and brush along the fence, feed that would not otherwise be utilized. They not only do this, but keep the farm clean, which Is of even as much Import ance to the following crops as it is a benefit to the sheep themselves. Every farmer ought to grow a few sheep, which he would find a source of profit by producing two crops a year and without any apparent cost, as compared with the cost of produc ing any crop that is grown upon the farm for sale.

Until we know all about swine dis eases there Is no possibility of pre venting entirely the coming of the epidemics of cholera that to" often cut down the number of our hogs. How ever, from a long experience I have come to the conclusion tbat moft hog diseases are preventable, writes Hen. ry Porter in Farmer's Review. One way to prevent hog diseases Is to purchase as few hogs as possible, and when we do purchase, quarantine till the animals are demonstrated to have or not to have some contagious dis ease. We would do well to limit our hog purchases to the breeding ani mals of quality needed to raise the quality of our swine product. But in addition to breeding hogs a great many others are purchased, sold, re sold, transported, driven to town, sud from farm to farm and carried in dir ty box cars that perhaps have tar ried sick hogs previously. It Is this general mixing up that makes It easy for the cholera to get In. By conduct ing our breeding operations on more of a perfect system we can keep hogs from coming to our farm, doing our own breeding and sending the ani mals to market only. FEEDING SHEEP IN THE CORN. I bad a fine field of corn, and tho rich soil had become filled with weeds of mauy kinds. In an evil hour, I thought it would be a very nice thing to turn into this field a lot of lambs Just weaned. It was only a few days when I was sorry for what I had done. It did not suit my case at all. The heavy growth of suckers from the corn roots, which In my ex perience Is always to bo expected in richly manured soil, in spite of the most careful culture, very soon brought on attacks of diarrhea which very nearly cost me the lives of as fine a lot of weanling lambs as I ever saw, wtMtes H. Stewart in American Sheep Breeder. It was next to im possible to keep any sort of satisfac tory oversight on the lambs, and in spite of the most careful watching over the flock I soon had my hands full of trouble In saving a lot of lambs suffering frcm diarrhea and annoyed by a legion of flies. For two weeks everything had to be left lo take care of these lambs, and the cost of the extra work at a busy time otherwise, about rendered me wild. Diarrhea attacked the whole flock and the flies made things a hundred times worse. I saved the lambs, but it was at a cost of half the actual value of the lot. IRRIGATION ON THE FARM. All natural streams over land are more or less crooked, us they bend first one way and then another to avoid obstructions. In making arti ficial open ditches there Is at first an almost Irresistible tendency to follow the natural course and simply deep en It.. But after the ditch is cut, if It is a cultivated field, the crooked places In It make serious difficulties for the plow, tho harrow, cultivator and the mowing machine. Only for a pasture lot is the winding rivulet running through a field allowable, pro viding it can easily be remedied. By straightening an open drain, and put ting sewer pipes In it; the ditch may be filled and plowed over, making a rich, cultivable field of what was or iginally only fit for growiug coarse and inferior grasses. CULTIVATING FOR A PLOW. Farmers use tho cultivator for a plow; that Is, they cultivate deep, with the object of loosening tho soil between the rows. If the ground Is to be broken up the plow is the thing to do it with, but two Inches Is suffici ent depth for cultivation. Grass and weeds should uever be allowed to grow to a height to demand "plow ing" with a cultivator. Keep tho top soli loose, and never allow grass or weeds to more than sprout above ground. Deep cultivation frequently does harm In disturbing the roots of plants grown as a crop. Presumptuous Mendicant. "Doesn't It strike you as somewhat ridiculous that a beggar should be so presumptuous as to offer yotl good luck?" asked the man with his arm In a sling, "it has struck me that way, and tho next beggar that makes any attempt to pass good luck on me is going to get a run for his trouble. If I don't put him In tho lockup, it won't be any fault of mine. I'm going to tell you fellows a story, and when you hear it you'll understand my feel ings. 1 was standing on a street cor ner the other day talking to a friend of mine. A beggar, a htfcky looking country negro, came along and aslied us for aid. He said he was from tho country aud was In hard luck. 'Air in hungry, boss,' he said, 'an' Ah needs a bite to eat.' Then he showed hla hands, which were cover:d with corns, remarking at the tlmo that the condi tion of the.se would prove he was a hard-working negro, down on his luck. I gave him enough to buy a sandwich, and so did my friend. He thanked us, and then putting out his hand said, 'Hyar boss. Ah'll give bofe of yo' good luck. We both smiled and gave him our hand to shake. The negro left and a few minutes later when I turnoJ to leave my friend and siartol across the street I was struck by a car and knocked into tho middle of nothing ness. When they picked me up my arm was broken and I was severely bruised all over the body. That was my share of the good luck. I learn ed today that my friend has pneu monia, and that he may die of his Ill ness." New Orleans Times-Domociat. Paints Wild Beasts' Eyes. One of the oddest ways a young woman artist of this city has of add ing to her income is tho painting of the glass eyes that are fitUd Into the heads of wild animals bent to a taxi dermist to be stuffed and mounted. She is not called upon to paint these special eyes for tho ordinary run of our native beasts. She only gettt one of these orders when some sports man has killed a panther, a grizzly, or a tiger animals noted for the sav age glare of their ee3. Then she takes all the pains she is capable of to get tho "glare" just as savage as slie can.

WELSH COAL. Great Demand for It in Home and Foreign Markets. According; to the London Times, WelBh steam coal is in great demand both at home and abroad. The Times says: Welsh coal Is used principally for naval and manufacturing purposes. Its superior calorific power, combined with its weathering capabilities, have given It a peculiar advantage over oth er coals for the use of mercantile steamships, and it Is mainly In virtue of this advantage that the steam coal of South Wales has now for about twenty-five years occupied its unique position at the various coaling depots along the trade routes of the world. Last year the quantity of coal ex ported from Cardiff was 14,920,610 tons, and from all the South Wales ports over 21,000,000 tons, or just half the total cop.l export trade of the whole country. In France and Italy the rail ways as well as the steamship lines are large consumers, but the following figures will give an idea of the extent to which Cardiff coal Is shipped to the depots where mercantile steam ships and warships call in order to re fill their bunkers. The nearest and by far the greatest market is in the Mediterranean, and the following were the exports from Cardiff in 190-i to some of the ports on the French, Italian and Egyptian coasts: Alexandria, 503,000 tons, Bor deaux, 285,000 tons; Constantinople, 136,000 tons; Genoa, 970,000 tons; Gib raltar, 189.826 tons; Marseilles, 331,157 tons; Malta, 342,106 tons; and Port Said, 1,114,086 tons. To Madeira and he Canary Islands the exports amount ed to over C00.0O0 tons; to Aden, 167, 000 tons; to Capo Town, 317,000 tons; to Colombo, 280,000 tons; to fhe Phil ippines, 57,000 tons; to Hongkong, 582,596 tons; to Singapore, ' 113,000 tons; to Shanghai, 141,000 tons; aud over 1,200,000 tons went to Uruguay and the Argentine Republic. Other depots ml; have been men tioned, but these figures, though in a few cases of an exceptional character, suffice to show how largely supplied Is the world's mercantile marine with the "black diamonds" of the South Wales coal field, and Incidentally to explain how it is that Cardiff clears more tonnage for foreign trade than any other port In the world. The question of how long Wales w ill be ablo to continue in her present po sition as the main source of the world's supply of this peculiarly valuable kind of coal is agitating the minds of Wel:.h colliers. India, Japan, Australia, the United States, and other countries are not only securing sufficient coal for their own fires at home, but are be ginning to export to places hitherto en tirely or almost entirely supplied by Wales.
