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.

MARTHA FOOTE CROW.;
One of the Weil-Known Educator*
of the Country and Uean of
Hiorth western Inlteralty.
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. I'll. 1-)., who has been associated
with many colleges, including Welles
ley. At lowa college she was "lady
principal" and was professor of lit
erature at Chicago university.
Dr. Crow is a daughter of Kev. John
B. Foote, of Syracuse, N. Y., who
holds a prominent position in that
city as a pulpit orator and still car
ries on a career of distinguished use
fulness as a clergyman in the Meth
odist Episcopal church. 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-

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. Fortnightly club, of
Chicago; the Bibliographical society,
Arts and Crafts society and Twenti
eth Century club, of Chicago; the
Alumnae association, of Syracuse uni
versity, the Alpha Phi, the Mulberry
club, the Woman's institute, of Lon
don, England, and she is an adopted
member of the Alumnae associations
of Wellesley, lowa and Waynesburg
colleges, and the University of Chi
cago. She is about to become a mem
ber of the Colonial Dames and the
Daughters of the Revolution, and be
longs to two working girls' clubs.
The Mulberry club was founded by
Dr. Crow and is composed wholly of
"versemakers."

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.

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' |

CLEANING BY STEAM.
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,

A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights
of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night.
The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day
and night, the weary form and aching head have known no
rest, for the dress must be finished in time.
To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would i
say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and
social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity,
may some day find their ailments a common cause.
Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate
serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed
system.
For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is
nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
