fortunate SI tuu t ion».
Henry Loomis Nelson, in his article
In the Century, »u Washington so
ciety, tells these anecdotes of the
capital as representative of the light
anil shade of official life:
"Madam," said an old diplomat at
his own table, "I have some bonbons
here from Paris. They have medal
lions of the potentates of the world,
and 1 have had your ruler's face
stamped on one of them. Is it not
a good likeness?" And he handed a
chocolate to the woman on his right,
who, for reasons of her husband's,
did not like the new president.
"We have uo rulers in this coun
try," said the gracious guest, throw
ing the chocolate under the table.
The host's attention had been at
tracted elsewhere, and he did not see
the insult, but he was made aware
of something by the silence which
followed. However, before he could
know what had happened, a young
woman's voice said to the butler:
"Won't you find that bonbon which
Mrs. C droppedl want to look
at it."
One day a delighted and awkward
new statesman was taking tea at
the house of a clever woman, and
was suddenly plunged into terror,
agony and shame by the annihilation
of the delicate and costly Sevres cup
from which he had been drinking;
but before his palate was dry or his
tongue responsive to the scared
mind, his hostess broke its mate, say
ing to the servant as she did so:
"Never put these cups on the table
again, Smith; they're too brittle for
use."
SIMPLE TINT GAOGE
Very I'neful for Mn telling? TrimmiiiKM
ai ii il l)rcNN Good* nixl for Har
mon ixinif Color*.
How many girls there are, and for
that matter men and boys as well, who,
without going actually color-blind,
yet seem to lack the power of judging
whether certain colors blend, or
whether two colors, or combinations
of colors, will harmonize when placed |
in juxtaposition. For instance, to an j
inexperienced and not specially j
trained eye it is no easy matter to say j
whether a trimming will match a ma- j
terial in which, perhaps, seven or eight '
colors are employed in various propor- !
tions, or what is the dominant colorin '
another material that consists of a
medley of colors. The following lit
tle device, which is only a homely adap-
HOMEMADE TINT GAUGE.
t-ation of a toy to be purchased at most
places, took my attention at once, as
1 recognized in it an aid to supply a •
want 1 had long been conscious of.
Take an ordinary piece of cedar pen
cil, from 3y a to four inches in length,
cut to a point; secondly, a circle of
cardboard, with a diameter of about
four inches, and, having made a hole
in the center of this, thrust the pencil
through it until the point is about an
inch below the cardboard; with a lit
tle gum or a drop or two of sealing
wax you can secure the disk to the pen
cil. You have now a kind of top or
teetotum, which you will find spins
easily,and your apparatus is complete.
Suppose we want to find out if a
trimming'really matches some dress
material; all you have to do is to cut
r circular piece of the material four
inches in diameter, make a hole in the
middle of it, and put the longer por
tion of the pencil through this, when
it will be flat on your cardboard disk,
to which you can secure it by small
pins. Cut a small piece of the trim
ming, about three-quarters r ' nn inch
square, and fix it on the \ of your
disk (see Fig.).
You have now only to set your tee
totum spinning and watch the result. *
If the material you are using had a
pattern, that pattern disappears, and
in place you fret the general shade of
the stuff, and the same with the tram
ming, so that if the two exactly match,
the two shades will be the same; but
if they do not, you will perceive a
lighter or a darker ring at the edge of
your disk.
If again yon wish to learn if two ma
terials, cacti composed of a variety of
colors, will harmonize, proceed in ex
actly the same way. and the predomi
nant color in each will give the shade,
and you will at once be able to ascer
tain if they clash. In the same man
ner you will be able to see if one single
color will "go" with a mass of others
in a way pleasing to the eye.—Girls'
Companion.

WOMAN WINS DEGREE.
Ml«a Florence A. Fennham. Flril
Woman Ilaehelor of Divinity In
l unHrrgiit lonnl Church.
When Christianity and the Christian
church were given to the world the
promise was: "Your sous and your
daughters shall prophesy." This ideal
of Christian womanhood has been a
long time in evolving. Modern condi
tions, however, make it increasingly
possible for women to "follow the
gleam" where it inay lead. The num
ber who have been led into the min
istr3' of the church is vet small, but
more and more are the Scriptures be
ing; verified in this respect.
Miss Florence A. Fensham, of Con
nantinople, Turkey, has achieved the
fcignal distinction of being the first
woman in the history of the Congrega
tional church to receive the degree of
bachelor of divinity. This honor has
just been conferred upon her at the
annual convocation of the Chicago
FLORENCE A. FENSHAM.
Theological seminary in the First Con
gregational church, and when Presi
dent Dr. J. H. George, who conferred
the degree, came to Miss Fenshawhe
remarked, with much feeling: "This
i shows what a woman can do."
Florence A. Fensham is a native of
: East Douglas, Mass. When she was
1 very young her family moved to Al
; banv. X. Y.. Where she was brought
| up. At an early age she showed un
j usual mental ability. This spirit was
i fostered by her parents, who gave her
! every possible advantage. In this
i country she has been a student at Cor
nell and at Harvard, afterward going
I abroad to study in the University of
Edinburgh a,nd afterward studying
theology at Mansfield college, Oxford,
under Dr. Fairliairn.
After completing her course of
! study at Oxford, Miss Fensham went !
I to Constantinople, where she occupied j
| the chair of biblical literature and i
! comparative religion in the American I
college for girls in this oriental city, t
She also holds the important position i
of dean of the college.
This college for girls is the out- j
growth of a high school founded in !
Constantinople in IS7I by the woman's
board of missions for"the thorough j
education and Christian culture of .
girls in the orient." The growth of
the school was so rapid and its work
so important that the institution was
incorporated as a college by the legis
lature of Massachusetts in ISM). In
5594 an imperial irade was granted the
college by Abdul II a mid 11.. assuring
its permanency by the official recogni
tion of it as an educational institution
in the Turkish empire.
Miss Fensham has thrown herself, j
heart and soul, into her work, in which
she 1s s great enthusiast.
"Th<* object of our work." she ex
plained, "is to give the higher Chris- j
tian education to the oriental women.
o\ir students number from If>o to 200,
in which 1"> nationalities are represent
ed. Bulgarian, Armenian, Creek, He- j
brew, American, English, Turkish. Al- 1
banian. French, German. Italian, Itus- |
sian. Hungarian, Roumanian and Aus- I
tralian. The language of the college is j
English, and the facility with which j
these eastern gir's acquire it is really >
remarkable."
During the whole period of her 1
i study at, the Chicago theological sem- j
inarv, Miss Fensham held the "high 1
I honor scholarship," which is awarded
to the attainer of OS per cent, in every
| branch of study. It is a remarkable
and noteworthy fact, however, that
this scholarship has never before been
bestowed. Miss Fensham being the
first t.o hold it. She will leave Chicago
in a few days for three months' rest in
the east before returning to her ardu
ous labors in the orient.

SUBSTITUTE WAGON BOX.
Adapted for llnulinK Manure. Knrth
and Oilier .Mntrriiila Injiirioua
to Kettulur lioxe*
For hauling manure, earth, stone,
etc., a good farmer does not like to use
the regular box of his farm wagon,
since it will not present so good an ap
pearance on the road or last so long
when used for all kinds of work as it
will when better care is taken of it.
Fal
It is a good plan to have an extra box
to be used for the rough work.
If the farmer does not care togo to
the trouble of having made an extra
box, be may for some kinds of rough
and dirty work, such as stone and
manure hauling, replace the box with
rough boards laid loosely between the
standards in the old way. This method
has some disadvantaged, however, as
the bottom boards are apt to wi rk out
of place and th# side boards to fall
down at the least provocation. It is
best togo to a little more trouble and
arrange the boards as illustrated in
Fig. 1. Use the required number of
boards, planed on edges, to suit space
between standards and nail or screw
to two or three crosspieees to hold
them in place. Hinge tiie boards at
side so as to stand up supported by
the standards when on the wagon and
fold up when not in use. Or the hinges
may be put on on the outside, having
back of hinges next to the boards. The
sideboards will then turn out instead
"FT A, 2
of In when folded and will just turn
in far enough to stand erect when on
the wagon bed. The contrivance will
occupy but little room when out of
use and may be set up against » cor
ner of the wagon shed. Another way
to overcome the main disadvantages of
loose boards on the bed is to have
each sideboard and the bottom board
immediately under it nailed and
strapped together as in Fig. 2. A couple
of cleats nailed on the bottom will
keep them in place when put on bed,
and the required number of loose
boards laid between in the usual man
ner will make the wagon ready for
service. In making either of the ar
rangements illustrated, the farmer is
expected not togo to any great pains
of workmanship.—J. G. Allshouse, in
Ohio Farmer.
THE CURING OF HAY.
ftomr Itpii>ona H hjr the flmt Qnnllty
Ha* >eoe««arll >- tn Ite Mailt
in the Shade.
Every year there are many que«-
tions about curing hay. Early-cut
| grass contains more moisture than
j that which stands until dead ripe, and is
; harder to cure. Hay is grass with
the water taken out of it. The water
; is removed by the wind—a hot breeze
i while the sun is shining giving ideal
| haymaking conditions. The easiest
way for the water to be taken from
1 the plant is through the leaves.
! When these leaves are dried and
, killed first of all there will be con
j siderable water left in the stem, and
this will move out very slowly. When
the leaves are left fresh, they suck on
pump the water rapidly from tha
! stem, and thus dry it quickly. Cut
; down two trees in full leaf. From
one take every preen leaf at oi c•
| and let the leaves on the other slow
j ly wither and die. You will find the
> first tree wet and soggy, while tho
; otliev is dry—havirig been sucked or
j pumped by the leaves. These thing#
j explain why the best hay is made in
j the (shade. The leaves are not with
j ered, but keep on pumping water
from the stems and "sweating" it
I out. Clover especially is best cured
in Ilie cock. Its thin, broad leaves
are quickly wilted in the hot sun,
while in the pile they keep at work.
We must remember that some sam
ples of early-cut clover contain over
1,600 pounds of water in every ton
and that 1.500 pounds of the watef
mnst be taken out .in a short time!
One reason why the tedder makes
sueh a useful hay tool is that it
! breaks the stem and gives ihe water
a chance to escape.—Rural Nev*
j Yorker.
Standards In Cheese Curing,
Every year new standards are being
j raised in the curing of cheese. Every
I year also the degree of temperature
! at. which cheese may be cured is low
' ered by the experts. It was not long
j ago that the proper temperature for
I the curing of cheese was thought to
be somewhere between CO and 70 de
grees. In Canada they have been cur
ing cheese at 40 degrees and doing it
successfully. The cheese so cured
| were put into this temperature direct
j from the hoop. The place in which
I they were kept was a cold storage
house. After four months these cheese
were scored and found to be in every
way equal to the cheese stored in a
curing room held at 65 degrees.
The daily loss from evaporation on
j unstirred soil is much more than oc
j properly cultivated soil.

I<• M I• or Itynnmoa.
The Las I'al mas correspond frit of
the London 'Daily 'Mail sends a re
markable account of a great scien
tific discovery. According to the cor
respondent. the discovery is a method
of directly using atmospheric elec
tricity without chemicals or dyna
mos, and practically applying it with
out any motive force. The discoverer
is Cleniente Fuegueras, engineer of
woods and forests for the Canary
islands, and for many years professor
of physics at St. Augustine's college,
Las 'l'alinas. and long known as a sci
entific student.
Hitherto he has jealously guarded
the secret of his labors, fearing that
a premature revelation might rob
him of his reward. Even now, while
he claims to have entirely succeeded,
he remains silent concerning the ex
act principles of his discovery.
He claims, however, to have invent
ed a generator which can collect the
electric fluid, to be able to store it,
and to apply it to an infinite number
of purposes; for instance, in connec
tion with ships, railways and manu
factories. He says he expects the ef
fect of his discovery will be a tre
mendous economic and industrial rev
olution. He will not give the key to
his invention, but declares that the
only extraordinary point about it is
that it has taken so long to discover
a similar scientific fact.
I'rof. Fuegueras is shortly going to
Madrid and I'erlin t<> patent his in
vention. A German electrical com
pany is reported to have offered a
large sum for the invention, while a
syndicate in Barcelona lias also made
a generous offer. Neither advance
has been accepted. This, the corre
spondent adds, is all that it is possi
ble to obtain at present. No opinion
can be expressed as to the value of
the discovery until further details are
known.
The London Mail adds that it has
learned from other sources that I'rof.
Fuegueras has constructed a rough
apparatus, by which he obtains a cur
rent of 550 volts, which he utilizes in
lighting his house and driving a 20-
horse power motor. He is shortly
corning to London with a perfected
working apparatus. His inventions
comprise a generator, motor and sort
of a governor or regulator. This
whole apparatus is so simple that u
child could work it.
Wlint About Your School lluuiriit
You may not this season be able to build
a new one, or make the radical changes in
the old one that you had in contemplation,
but there is no school district in the Unit
ed States that cannot afford to tint with
Alahastine the interior of their buildings,
thus making them more attractive, get
ting colors made with special reference to
their effects on the eyes of the pupils, get
ting a sanitary and rock base cement coat
ing that will not harbor disease germs.
The closely crowded school rooms need
all the safeguards to the health of the pu
pil that intelligent officials can surround
them with, and all sanitarians unite in say
ing that Alahastine is the only proper ma
terial to be used on such walls.

Dr. Hartman Gives Free Advice to

Dr. Hartman, the Famous Gynatcologist
and Inventor of Pe-ru-na Offers to
Treat Women Free During the Sum
mer Months.
America is the land of nervous
women. The. great majority of nerv
ous women are wo because they are suf
fering from some form of female dis
ease. 15y far tHe greatest number of
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women aillict-ed with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. The
greatest obstacle in the way of recov
ery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh, l'eruua cures
catarrh wherever located.
