WOTES FROM THE PARIS EX POSITION. "The Singer Manufacturing Com pany, of 149 Broadway, New York, show their usual American enterprise by having a very creditable exhibit, lo cated in Group XIII, Class 79, at the Paris International Exposition, where they show to great advantage the cele brated Singer Sewing-Machir.e which is used in every country on the globe, both for family use and for manufac turing purposes. The writer was high ly pleased with this display and ob served with much satisfaction that it was favorably commented upon by vis itors generally. The Grand Prize was awarded by the International Jury to Singer Sewing- Machines for superior excellence in de sign, construction, efficiency and for remarkable development and adaption to every stitching process used in either the family or the factory. Only One Grand Prize for si wing ma chines was awarded at Paris, and this distinctionof absolutely superior merit confirms the previous action of the In ternational Jury at the World's Co lumbian Exposition, in Chicago, where Singer machines received 54 distinct awards, being more than were re ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma chines combined. Should it be possible that any of our readers are unfamiliar with the cele brated Singer Machine, we would re spectfully advise that tliev call at any of the Singer salesrooms which can be found in all cities and most towns in the United States."

CALIFORNIA'S SPLENDID SHOWING AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION. Following is an extract from a letter recently written by Mr. Win. H. Mills, of California, while in Paris in charge of the Southern Pacific Company's ex hibit at the Exposition. It is remark able for two reasons, first, as evidence of the great interest which is every where manifested in that wonderful State; also for the valuable informa t ion it contains, and for which it is here reproduced: Paris, July 15th, 1900. The panorama picture of the Mariposa Grove is admitted by all. Including pho tographers, to be the most wonderful pho tographic reproduction that has ever been made. Only yesterday a Committee rep resenting the greatest Fruit-Growing As sociation of France, to the number of fif teen, visited the office. Tiny were In charge of their President, who Is the largest Individual fruit grower in the Republic. They came here to get an illus tration of the industrial and climatic con ditions under which our fruit is grown. 1 explained to them fully the prolific char acter of our climate, and by pictures and illustrations showed them that we had a lull crop every year; that our danger was lrom over-bearing; that in no instance hail we misstd two crops in succession lrom any cause. You will scarcely un derstand tin- intense interest of this In terview until it is explained that this Fruit-Growing Association practices fruit culture in two ways, wall-culture and eultivating under glass (I forego French designations). The out-door cultivation of Jruit in France is extra-hazardous and is last being superseded by the artilicial means of wall and glass. The gentli-men who were here yester day explained that the most profitable cultivation was that wherein all the fac tors of success were in the hands of the cultivator. I have used this argument many times for the promotion of the policy of irrigation. I have said that when the moisture can be controlled, both with ref erence to moisture and drainage, civilized culture will have bten achieved; that at that point only it becomes an art; but where natural conditions are depended upon and are not under the control of man.the cultivation has not risen to the dignity of an art. its main factors are at the hazard of chance. When 1 explained, however, the condi tions under which fruit was grown in California, it became apparent both to my self and my auditors, that the natural conditions in California are as nearly per fect for the production of fruit as it is possible to be, and that at all events there are economies with us which will give us the fruit markets of the world. You may accept this conclusion as di in enstraud by our exhibit and observation here. California is hereafter to be the orchard of the world, for reasons which will be more easily made apparent in a personal interview. The reason for the foregoing narration I will now present: We had exhausted the interest of the exhibit in showing the fruits, the pineapples, the dates, the prunes, the peaches, the pears, the ap ples, the vegetables in ail their varieties, etc. The day was extremely hot and the In terview had become monotonous. I called the company into an attitude in which they could 1 get a good view of the pan orama of the great tree grove. 1 have never heard more genuine expressions of surprise an 3 admiration. The I'resident of the Association, a man of fine mentality and dignity of character, said, through the Interpreter to me. that the picture was the most beautiful presentation of a for est he had ever seen and the forest was the most beautiful of any that had ever been shown abroad. The forest as ex pressed in that picture is infinitely su perior to any forestry expression possible heTe. The largest pine tree I saw in Ger many was less than twenty-four inches Jn diameter, and not to exceed seventy-five or eighty feet high. After what we had told them of the favoring conditions of climate and soil, we introduced them into the heart of one of our greatest forests by the best representation which can be placed upon paper. You can have no adequate conception of how it broadened and dignified and ennobled our State. We had shown them panorama pictures, pic tures of prune orchards In bloom, pic tures of orchards, one of which is a most marvelous presentation, the panorama itself being six feet by fourteen inches high, and representing five hundred acres of prune orchard. W< had shown them twenty-one square miles in one panorama of a fruit orchard in Vaca Valley. We had shown them large fruits and large veg etables, and all these things had appealed ♦ o them as exceptional. The panorama of the great forests of California, including the greatest trees that grow in the State, conferred upon the entire exhibit proba bility and confirmation. CHURCH AND CLERGY. Mgr.

The new woman is a highly inter esting person and appears in a strik ing variety of guises, in one of these ishe has recently been apopinted dean of the woman's department in the Northwestern university, Evanston, 111., which has 2,344 students and eight colleges. The dean lives in a hall where 100 young women reside. It is a mag nificent building, somewhat colonial in style, and has great, broad stair cases for approaches. The deanship there is one of the best that a worn en can hold in the United States, as a "really, truly professional chair is associated with it. The work is exacting and hard, not a genteel pre tense to support an empty dignity. The woman to whom this coveted honor lias fallen is Mrs. Martha Foote Crow.

The husband of Mrs. Crow was the well-known archaeologist, Prof. J. M. Crow, who occupied the chair of Greek at lowa college at the time of her marriage to him. Mrs. Crow has not restricted her studies within ordinary limits, says the New York Tribune, but has spent much time in research in the British museum and the Bodleian library. Some years ago she received a com mission from the board of education at Washington to investigate the uni versity education of women in Eu rope, and in that way was brought into association with well-known men end women in many countries. Her chosen work lies chiefly in the Shakespearean period, and she has be- MARTHA FOOTE CROW. (Dean of Northwestern University, Evans ton. 111.) come so generally recognized as an authority in that line that she was the first American asked to cooperate with the English editors of the War wick edition of Shakespeare, and has edited "King Lear" and other plays in the series. She has done a great deal of independent work along these lines, including lectures. Dr. Crow is an "all around" woman in the best and widest sense. She has written poems and a play soon to be produced; she rides the wheel and enjoys other athletic exercises; she is a skillful wood carver, and at one time had a "printing fad," in which she and the friend who shares her home bought a press, and with their own hands printed a number of booklets in daintily artistic fashion. This was the result of an enthusiasm aroused by meeting the poet Morris. Some of these specimens of bookmak ing are, enriched with beautiful "illu mination." In her busy life Prof. Crow has found time to join a club or two and confesses membership in the Asso ciation of Collegiate Alumnae, Ihe Little Room, a society of novelists, artists and poets; Modern Language Association of America, Woman's Christian Temperance union, Chicago Woman's club.

A C'hnt with a Chlucne Mother In Jit" York I'ruvri the I DiversnJllf of INattirnl l.olf. There are about 4-0 Chinese women in New York. They are sweet, gentle creatures, often highly intelligent. It is diflicult lo get their confidence, but or.ee gained they display great affec tion and docility. A day or two ago I dropped in unexpectedly upon a charming little woman of the orient, and thereby had a peep al a pair of very, very long, old fashioned corsets. The dear little thing blushed and hid them quickly. Then she took her baby—lord of the house upon her knee, gave him a pear, entirely too large for his lit tle mouth to manage, and chatted away gayly. iler hands were extremely pretty. Tier upper lip was a little short, show ing a row of glistening white teeth. Her smile was intelligent and in finitely sweet, like a little child's. Her glossy, heavy black hair was ar ranged in the true Chinese fashion, which happens to be the very Euro pean fashion of the day! "Too bad, tlouble in China!" she said. But soon that black-eyed baby Cl 11X ESE MOTHER AX V CHILD. of hers demanded all her attention, for, putting tlie little fellow's face against hers, he cried, "A ma! A ma!'' which is Chinese for "mamma." So, seeing baby sleepy, and "A ma" busy, the visit ended. The Chinese women in Xew York have in several instances come here to be married, after corresponding fox years wijh their husbands. They take their queer Chinese ba bies to Central park for fresh air. and in summer make occasional visits to Coney island. Here the little "chinks" dabble in the sand like other children and scream when taken into the waves. The young ones pick up Eng lish quite readily. The Chinese women here all know each other. They make frequent calls upon each other, taking their babies along, and, while drinking delicious tea, discuss the care of children, and even the great servant question. The husbands of several of Xew York's Chinese women are men of wealth, and they enjoy no little lux ury in their homes, which are fur nished in characteristic oriental fash ion.- N. Y. Herald. MAKING AN OMELET. A Culinary Art Tluit Should lie Ao <iulrc<l by Every Woman Who I'rrtcnd* to He a Cook. Tt is an art every woman should know to make an omelet properly. The eggs should be broken on a dish and the whites and yolks stirred, not beat en. together and lightly seasoned with salt and white pepper, with a few bits of butter if you wish. Let the French frying pan of sheet iron be bright and polished. Melt a large tablespoonful of butter in it for an omelet of five eggs. Turn the omelet in as soon as the but ter melts and flows over the bottom of the pan. The fire musit be hot and the omelet must not be allowed, to stick to t,he pan for a moment. Usv a knife to prevent this. As s-otin as the eggs are creamy, though still soft at the top, but firm at the bottom, add any cooked meat, mince of herbs or cooked herbs intended to give the omelet distinc tive flavor, or serve it as i1 is, "natural" as the French would call it, and roll it. Put it at once on the table; an instant's delay now will make it heavy. 11 must come on the table light, creamy and hot. I)o not take tim<» to garnish it. It is better to serve it without any delay. Mushrooms, cooked peas, asparagus, chopped herbs, tomatoes, stewed cor* and almost any delicate or well-sea soned meat may be served in an omelet. Nothing is better than fried or boiled ham or a mince of well sea soned veal in a brown gravy. A few tablespoonfuls of any such addition is enough for a fsur or five egg omelet. Where milk or cream is added it makes a variety in this dish, which is prob ably at its best made with eggs alone, properly seasoned and cooked.—N. Y. Tribune, The >leaiiiii|( of a Siph. Sighing is but another name for oxygen starvation. The cause o' sighing is most frequently worry. An interval of several seconds often fol lows moments of mental disquietude, during which time the chest walls re main rigid until the imperious de mand is made for oxygen, thus caus ing tlie deep inhalation. It is the ex piration following the inspiration that is properly termed the sigh, and this sigh is simply an effort of the organ ism to obtain the necessary supply of oxygen. The remedy is to cease wor rying. One may be anxious, but thera is no rational reason for worrying. A little philosophy will banish worry at once. Worry will do no good; it will rob one of pleasures when bless ings do come, as one will not be in a condition to enjoy }liew. —Ladies' | Home Journal. UNLOADING OF CORN.

The Only Absolutely Sure Way ot Keeping a Creamery in a W hule • uuie Condition. A Canadian dairy instructor says: I am sorry to say that ihe creameries of Canada are not being improved us much as they should be, particularly in the way of equipment and sanita tion, or in providing suitable store rooms which can be held at a low tem perature for storing the butter in. A prcat number of the summer creamer ies arc being run on the cream gather ing system. This necessitates an abundant supply of cold water which is oftentimes allowed to run over the floor, or in open gutters, and has a tendency to keep the room damp and prevent the churn and butter worker from becoming dry, and the result is that they soon become foul smelling. The remedy for this is to conduct the water away iu pipes, and also attach a hose and a steampipe. After the churn is thoroughly washed, close the lid and insert the end of the hose in the buttermilk outlet, and then steam thoroughly for 20 minutes. The in tense heat will destroy all germ life, and leave the churn dry and clean. This is also an excellent device for steaming the butter worker and uten sils, and also the cans or tanks used in drr.wing the cream. BRIEF DAIRY NOTES. Remember that the milk should be cooled as promptly as possible after it is drawn from the cow. Cool and aerate thoroughly, in order to prevent the milk from retaining unpleasant odors. Ice water will chill and kill as well as til! the cow, and the thoroughly chilled cow cannot secrete milk free ly. The dairyman who forces his cows to drink through a hole in the ice in winter should not expect a good flow of milk from the cows. The milk cows should have abun dant supplies of water. Milk is 75 per cent, water, and that fact shows how necessary water is to the cows. Moreover, the very fact that so mucl water must be drunk by the cow indicates that the water should not be much below the temperature of the cow's body. Artificial ponds are not liable to contain pure water. Such ponds are generally located in natural depres sions on the farm, and into such de pressions there is sure to be more or less drainage of filthy water. If the dairyman deems it necessary to have such ponds, he should at least fence them in. so that the stock can not turn them into filthy .wallows and sources of disease. —Farmers' Voice. Hatio In Food. Cows give a trifle more milk when receiving some succulent food, such as roots and ensilage, but practically the same amount of butter or other milk solids. We select the cheapest foods and so mix them that the cow gets about one pound of carbohy drates. if we should feed a much wider ration, that is, one that con tained more carbohydrates and car bohydrate equivalent than the amount stated, she would gradually iay on fat, shrink in milk, and failure to breed would probably follow; but when the above mentioned nutritive ratio is maintained, no such difficul ties are encountered.- —Prof, llaecker, in Rural World.
