Daintiness is that indefinable qual
ity in a girl which causes her to ap
pear inore charming than those around
Lcr; it is an attribute that is seldom
inborn, but the result of culture. She
is certain of making a good impression
where others ignominious!}- fail to do
80, a fact which causes jealousy and
makes those who are not dainty look
on with envious admiration and wish
that they too possessed the subtle
AMERICAN WOMEN IX THE PULPIT.
Women as ministers is the subject of an
Interesting article in the Chautauquan by
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw. Dr. Shaw
writes without any feeling in the way of
resentment against the churches that ex
clude women from their ministry. She is
merely telling facts.
By the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury Dr. Shaw believes there should lie at
least 2,000 women preaching the Gospel in
the United States. D is claimed by the
United Brethren 'hat it was their denomina
tion that ordained the first woman in the
Christian ministry. She is Rev. Lydia Sex
ton. Miss Sexton was given holy orders in
1851 and worked .n the church as a minister
nntil IMHJ. Hut it is generally accepted that
the first ordination of a woman was that of
Antoinette Brown, who was graduated from
the theological school at Oberlin in 1850, but
who was refused a license to preach. Of
women ordained by the Congregational de
nomination attention is called to Rev. Annis
Ford Eastman, n >w assistant to Rev. T. R.
Beecher in Elmira.
There ar« but three ordained women in
the regular Baptist church—Mary C. Jones,
cflthe state of Washington, ordained in 1882; j
]■ ! ;;n<es K. Townsley, Nebraska, ordained in j
1885, and Edith ilill Hooker, Kansas, or- !
dained in IWI4. The Baptists, says l)r. Shaw,
discourage women from entering their min
istry. Mrs. Book' r was for tliree years pas- j
tor of tlie First Baptist church of Pittsburg, !
Kan., before her marriage with Mr. Booker.
The 'Free Will Baptists have 17 ordained ;
and nine licensed women ministers. Women
have preached in this denomination ever |
since the beginning of the century. As early j
6s 1815 Clarissa 11. Danforth was a licensed j
preacher, but the first regularly ordained
Ftee Will Baptist woman minister was Miss
Anna Bartlett, of Paw Paw, Mich. Kev.
Ellen C. Copp is ihe principal of Hillsdale
college, and is nery popular with the stu
dci.is.
The Christian church has but five or six
•>rdained women preachers. The Presby
terian church refuses to allow women to en
ter its ministry, but accepts the work of
women in all other departments of church
Work, The Methodist Protestant church hits
charm. Daintiness, however, though 112
not inherited, is the outcome of habit.
A girl is dainty because she lias been
accustomed to give thought and time j
to being agreeable to others. Thus ;
it comes natural to her. Her wealth j
vi hair, always so glossy and carefully j
trained, owes its satiny appearance to
the fact that she brushes it regularly ;
uiid frequently, aud not solely when j
the feels in a mood to do so, or when j
she desires to look extra nice. Her j
pretty, soft hands, with their slicll-j
like pink nails, are always in dn im- |
maculate *oudition, for it is her hubit '
end pride to keep them spotlessly j
clean. Her person appears to shed |
around her a fragrant perfume, deli-]
cute, yet quite perceptible. This sub
tle fragrance comes from her dainty 1
way of putting her dresses into draw- j
rrs which contain sachets of sweetly- J
En tiling powder, the scent from
which seems to be a part of herself.!

THE GIRL'S ALLOWANCE.
It ■■ Her KIKHt and, at the Sam*
Tiuir, Tfai'Un Her Ihe Proper
l'a« of Money.
"Every self-respecting woman, be
she maid or wife, hus a n.-itural and
intense dislike to ask her father or
husband for every penny she needs,"
says Edward Uok, writing in,the La
dies' Home Journal, on "Giving Allow
ances tp Girls." "Nor is the feeling
lessened by the fact that the money
can be had for the asking and is al
ways given ungrudgingly. It is the
asking which women dislike. They
justly recoil from it, and men ought to
understand it better than they do.
It should be said that the husband
who refuses to give his wife a regular
allowance is rapidly becoming the ex
ception. But there are still too many
fathers who withhold an allowance
from their daughters. If it be true
that the average girl has no idea of
the value of money, how will she ever
pain a better knowledge of its worth
j ordained several women, and women are
admitted oil equal terms as lay delegates to
I the general conferences. Dr. Shaw herself
!is a graduate of the theological school of the
Boston university, and on being rejected as
I a i inister by the Methodist Episcopal
church she was ordained for the Methodist
j Protestant church in Tarrytown in 1880.
The Methodist Episcopal church, although it
never ordained women, licensed them until
' 1880. Even this concession was then re
pealed. Women, however, have acted and
now aet as evangelists and missionaries in
the Methodist Episcopal church. Con
spicuous among these workers is Elizabeth
W.. Greenwood, national evangelistic super
intendent of the \V. C. T. U. Dr. Shaw says
that it was the life desire of the late Frances
E. Willard to be a minister, but her church
would not permit it.
The first Universalist woman minister was
Olympia Brown, ordained in 1803. Augusta
' J. Chapin is the only woman who was ever
given the degree of I). D., although many
have earned it. She is a graduate of Michi
gan university, and Lombard university
honored her with the degree in 1893. Aman-
| da 11. Deyo was ordained in 18S6. Phebe A.
j Hanford was ord.iined at Hingharn, Mass.,
! in 18(58. Another Cniversalist woman min
ister is Kev. Florence Kolloek-Crooker. She
was a minister in Chicago for 14 years. She
| is now at Troy, N. Y.
Among Unitarian women ministers the
j oldest and best known is Mary A. Sa fiord.
. Her work has been broadcast in lowa. Her
ablest lieutenant was Elinor Gordon. Caro
line liartlett Crane has made the church at
| Kalamazoo noted throughout the country.
I Ida C. Hultin, ordained in 1886, has been for
six years preaching to one charge in Moline,
111. Marion Murdock has had fine success
! with Cuity church in Cleveland. Her asso
ciate is Florence Buck, both graduates of
Oxford university, England. Eliza Tupper
Wilkes has founded churches in several west
ern states. She wis ordained in 1871. Emma
M. Uooth-Tucker is mentioned as one of the
ablest women pre icheisin the country. Dr.
Shaw closes her article with a strong appeal
for justice to women who feel cubed ou to

! Oar girls must be educated in money

is only natural that at the start a

CORN SHOCKING TOOL.
It la n Temporary Hinder to Hold tb«
liuiicU TiiKfther While It In
111-111 II Tied.
R. B. Amstutz, of Birmingham, 0.,
gives the readers of the New York
Tribune the benefit of a device which
he has tried with gratifying results
in shocking corn. Be says that one
difficulty that is experienced in tyir.g
with twine is that the shock is apt
to be bound too loosely, and then it
will not stand well. Be aims, there
fore, to provide a way for getting a
pood squeeze on the bundle before
tying.
Mr. Amstutz says: "Take an old
broom handle a foot shorter than the
length of twine "to be used. At one

end make a hole through which you
can put a strip of leather, whereby to
attach a piece of rope to the stick.
The rope should be about four inches
shorter than the twine. A quarter
inch rope is the best size. At the out
er end of the rope fasten a ring just
big enough to slip over the stick eas
ily. In use proceed as follows: Take
the handle and ring in one hand, reach
around the shock, pass the ring into
the other hand, and then slip 1 lie butt
end of the handle into the ring. Now,
shove the ring along the handle down
to the leather, turn the handle out
away from the side of the shock, and
it will stay there while you deliber
ately put the twine around and tie.
Throw the handle back, release the
ring, and goto the next shock." Mr.
Amstntz believes that he is the orig
inator of this device, but he is willing
that others should use it without
charge.
\V*orl<l*M Deficit In Caraiti.
A world's deficit in grain for the
coming year is the forecast of the Hun
garian minister of agriculture. Be es
timates that importing countries will
lit ed 115,000,000 to 124,000,000 metrio
centners, or, roughly speaking, 450,-
000,000 to 500,000,000 bushels more than
their own output, and that exporting
countries will be able to send 101.000,-
000 to 100,000,000 metric centners, an
apporent deficit of 14,000,000 to 15,000,-
000. or say G0,000,000 bushels. This re
port, emanating each year at this time
from what is known as the Vienna
grain congress, is mad« up from a com
parison of official and trade estimates
of the world's production and require
ments. The figures put forth are by
no means final, nor of any great value,
although interesting, as they seem to
reflect general conditions.
How to I'lckle I'ork.
Pome one recently called for a re
cipe for pickling pork. Here is one
that we find good: Salt enough to
take out the blood and let it stand
two or three days. For every 100
pounds of meat take ten pounds of
salt, four pounds of Orleans sugar,
three-quarters ource of saltpeter, two
ounces of soda and eight gallons of
water. Boil, strain and let cool. Then
pour over the meat. Let it stay ia
pickle at least six weeks. Keep the
meat well under pickle, but be careful
not to weight it too heavy. If the pickie
should not be enough to cover you
will have to make enough as propor
tioned above. This will depend some
what upon the shape of your vessel.
—A. S. Watson, in American Cultiva
tor.
Flnx with Other Grnln.
Under some conditions it may be
advisable to grow flax with other
grain. Flax is a very exhaustive crop,
but in this fact lies the advantage
when grain is sown on very rich land
in mixing some flaxseed with it. If
the flax is not grown the grain will
grow too rank a straw, while with the
flax to help exhaust the superfluous
fertility there is less danger of this.
There will be more of the grain
grown, while all of the flaxseed that
is harvested will be so much clear
{rain, liarley is one of the best grains
to grow with flax, and both are ready
to cut at the same time. But both
should Vie very lightly seeded if clo
ver seed is sown the same spring, else
there will be a poor catch of clover.—

Wlievi Il»»ve Hcavon.
There is no cure for heaves; it cau
only be ameliorated or lessened in ex
tent by feeding on nutritive material
in small bulk, and more frequent ra
tions. All voluminous and coarse food
should be avoided, such as timothy,
millet and clover hay, and only the
best wild hay given in small quantities,
preferably finely cut, mixed with mil'
feed or steamed food. Feed every
thing wet. Foot! and water should
be consumed at least an hour before
an animal 's used for work. It is but
natural Hint such a horse will be
come weak and faint when driven or
worked hard all <Uty, for such a one
is oitly capable of performing slow
and light work, and it is cruel to use
him otherwise. —Rural World.

L/MBS FOR MUTTON.
Suxnt'lliliiK About the ltre«*«ln mid How
to OlitHin I Ik* Mont SntiMl'nc**
lor.v ICfKult*.
Probably the fattest sent to mar
ket are those obtained from a cross of
Merir.o and Southdown. They are
about as plump and heavy for their
size as any bred, although they are
not the largest, writes E. P. Smith in
the American Cultivator. They are
generally desired by good butchers,
and very often thej will command
fancy prices. Their Southdown line
age will lie apparent in their black
faces and legs, and most butchers be
lieve yet, and with good reason, that
the "Southdown is the finest mutton
sheep in the world."
But the Merino contributes many
noteworthy qualities. The lambs get
their fatness and tenderness from the
Merino, and this greatly helps the
lambs in the markets. Altogether the
cross produces about as satisfactory
results for the general breeder of
lambs for mutton as any.
The lambs when two weeks old
should be taught to eat a little dry
food, and this can best be given to
them with the hand. Sometimes a
tempting dish can be made for the
lambs —a mixture of clean oats, corn
and linseed in equal parts, ground up
finely and then salted and sweetened
with a little sugar. The taste of the
latter tempts the lambs. The ewts
should also be fed freely and with good
nourishing food to keep up the flow of
milk, for it is advisable for the lambs
to have plenty of the mother's milk
In a short time the lambs will take
their dry feed from a box or pan, and
then feeding them will be greatly sim
plified. Ordinarily it is not necessary
to get t hem to take dry food, but whei e
it is desirable to force their growth,
and make them lay on fat rapidly, this
method will be found very satisfac
tory. The lambs that grow vigorous
ly from the first are the or.es that pay
in the en- 1 , and it would cot prove a
bad plan to adopt this method, even
though o:.e has no idea of forcing the
lambs for an early market.
CORN FOR CHICKENS.
I'oultry Thrive* Must Excellently

Full Growth.
Without doubt, the very best feed
for a flock of growing chickens is
corn, just whole corn fed to them in
unlimited quantities. If the chickens
have the range of the farm they will
not eat more corn than they need, and
the more they can be induced to eat
the faster they will grow. They get
enough grass, bugs, weed and grass
seeds when running about to balance
the corn ration, and it is or.e cif the
best feeds that can be given them.
The laying liens should not have so
much corn, so this advice should not
be taken without the hens can be kept
from eating with the growing chick
ens. for a laying hen fed all the corn
she can eat will soon get too lazy to
forage much, and in the end will get
so fat that she will be inclined to take
a rest from laying and become an un
profitable servant.
All the young poultry thrives on
corn until it has made its full growth.
There is nothing better for young
poultry than sweet corn from the time
it gets to be good roasting ears until
the winter s<-ts in. While this is being
fed the fowls will make weight in quite
a surprising way, and they are very
fond of it. There is no need to prepare
it in any way. They will take care of
it if the ears are husked and thrown
■to them. If with the sweet corn a sup
ply of sunflowers is available the fowls
will not only grow but Iheir plumage
will become glossy and their combs
red. and they will be pictures of health.
The man who raises poultry and fails
to have a supply of sweet corn and
sunflower seeds for them is missing an
opportunity to provide the best feed
that can be grown on the farm.—
