Color, color everywhere, that Is the big feature In fashion this season, and happily the American woman belongs to the type that looks its best In rain bow and stained glass effects. So few black gowns are in "active use, either for street or house, that the occupant of a filmple, serviceable sable frock, is sat down as a hopeless old ma!d or the victim of a late unhappy bereavement. This does not mean, however, that black Is not still utilized as a back ground for bold color combinations. What makes the skin snlne whitest and the figure seem slightest but black broad cloth, corduroy, crepe de Chine, crepe de laine, drap de V'enise or French felt? But If you hold dear your carefully acquired reputation as a woman of taste don't let your black frock or hat be worn without lavish and Judleibus support of color. Crown your dusky tficorne or plateau with a dashing bbw of blue or white, slash up the frfcnt of your waist to show a ve3t stiff wiui bright embroidery, utilize plenty of the best Imitation of old lace that youcan find in the undersleeves at your waist, and braid or Btttch your skirt as fancifully and contrastingly as the pleasant law of the mode allows. Chicago Record-Herald. Proeperons Woman FurmRr, Miss Minna Eahleman bought CSC acres of practically unimproved land In California In 1S84. In course of time she developed its possibilities, added more land, and combined various en terprises with it, until now the Minna wawa ranch, with the Industries It represents, could not be bought for $176,000. She planted grapes, peaches, apricots and other fruits, established a dairy and cannery, and later branch ed out Into the raising of blooded cat tle and horses. All these Interests were directed by Miss Eahleman until her marriage two years ago to Dr. Walter N. Sherman. Now her hus band la associated with her In the man agement One of her most notable achieve ments was the discovery, through a series ot experiments, ot a method of, eliminating the disagreeable grass odor from butter made from alfalfa-fed cows. The "Mlnnawawa' (alfalfa) butter received the gold medal over all competitors at the California State fair In 1897, with the highest score ever given 98 8-4. From the Citrus fair of 1890 "Mlnnawawa" farm has a medal for the greatest variety of prod ucts from any one ranch, and also the price for the best oranges In San Jo achim valley. Raising olives is a new Industry at Mlnnawawa. but Its first press of olive oil won the silver medal over fourteen competitors at the re cent Buffalo Exposition. Woman's Journal.

There Is one woman's club In exist ence which has never had a "commit tee row," never had an election quar rel, bitter and wordy; never enjoyed the consuming delight of a 5-o'clock tea fracas; never met behind closed doors to dlsucss each other's wrong doings; never had secret cabals or open hostilities; never, in a word, en Joyed the full privileges and advan tages of a woman's club. Of course, this statement need not be believed but read on. This club unique in Its history, might be called the Town and Gown, but it Isn't; It is called the Town and Country, and Its claim to special dis tinction lies In the fact that It is a proprietary club. - It is boused In one of the old-fashioned dwellings of down-town New York, near the shopping districts, the atres, etc., and Is designed to furnish a resting place or temporary home for women wbo live up town or In the suburbs, or even at a greater distance. The fact of its being a proprietary club absolves Its members from all financial responsibility beyond the amount of their yearly dues and the tariff price of such accomodation as they may order in the club. On tbe first floor are comfortable parlors which give no bint ot club life to tbe casual observer. On this floor la the dining room, where meals are served at a fixed price, the aim being to furnish a homelike table., - Tiert are 12 pleasant bedroom in the house, plnred at the disposal of members only, at charges varying with size, location, etc. During the sum mer these may be taken by the month, and friends of the members may also rent them. Collier's Weekly, Tha iioltc't Child" an a Vletlm. A child culturlHt whose studies, as they ought to bo, are labors of love, says that the American child, ro much abused by forelgnersas "spoiled." 'sau cy," "foiwavd" and generally Incorri gible and unplensant Is, as a matter ot fact, a much-neglected little creature. Its .doting, Indolent or ambitious par ents cram Its little head with lessons or allow It to cram Its little stomach with candy and pip. They let It say and do what it wants to and then pun ish It for its waywardness when some unusual mischief has forced parental attention to it. The child student says that this happy-go-lucky system is all wrong. It is criminal neglect, not "Indulgence," and great Injustice to the children, and she cites the happiest children and the best-behaved children In the world, which are those of Japan. The Japnnese bnby. who never cries, is famous, but when he grows Into a runabout he never even sulks, is never naughty and Is nearly always happy. There seems to be a conspiracy among all classes In Japan to shield the little people from the unpleasant or harsh side of life. A Japanese mother can let her children run about the streets without fear of their being hurt or lost or kidnapped, as every child Is made the special care of any one whom It happens to fall in with. Having few rules to obey, the Jap baby Is seldom disobedient. His word of hon or is relied upou. He is not doubted and contradicted, suspected and scold ed for trifles. He Is treated with cour tesy, and he himself Is a model of po liteness. The Jap bnby is encouraged to have live pets birds, turtles, gold Ash, etc. hut he Is taught that to be cruel to these helpless creatures Is one of the greatest sins he ran commit. It this rule could only be Introduced Into the nurseries of so called civilization! The American child may be much in dulged or neglected In most ways, but in other ways it Is treated with a brutal lack of consideration. The av erage trainer of children believes in al ternate pettings and scoldings, but makes no effort to be as courteous, pa tient, tactful and considerate of the feelings of the little people as he would be to their elders, overlooking the fact that example moulds manners even more surely than rules and precepts and reproofs Inculcate principles. The children don't need any more "Indulgences," but they do need and should have encouragement. It Is a stimulus for which multitudes of them are In continual hunger. For Instance, there is many a customary phrase and customary method In speaking and dealing with children which might be reversed. How often one has heard a mother or father, when some mischief has been done, made tbe remark, "Now, I Just thought you would do that." But how rarely one hears It when the little one has walked in the way of strictest devotion! Why should it not be spoken then? When the com mand has been obeyed and the work Is done, why should not the parent say to the faithful little soul, "Now. I Just thought you would do that?" Why not let them know that the expecta tions are on their side, that our hopes as well as our wishes are leaning to ward the gladness ot the light, and not toward the misery of the darkness?- New York Commercial Advertiser. Handsewed kid gloves are among the latest importations from England, and are worn with walking suits. The latest styles In cloth garments show postilion, backs and balloon sleeves or long flowing sleeve effects. Ties of white or black satin finished with lace ends are tied at the front, and worn with black or colored silk shirt waists. Little turnover lace or einbroldored collars are popular for wear over satin or silk neck ribbons. Those with the pointed front effect are the most fav ored. A new Idea in the form of back comb Is one that has a slight curve in the centre of each tooth, giving it a firmer hold on the hair than the or dinary comb. " An effective touch is given to many ready made silk waists by the addition ot a few ornaments In silk applique. Small floral designs are especially well adapted to this purpose. The increasing use ot sashes with the most elaborate gowns has led to the making of many beautiful sash pins. The most popular of these are in the form of oval miniatures. Holders by which the muff is sus pended around the neck are of silver or gold link chain, with, at short in tervals, Jewels set in. Satin ribbons of black or dark brown are also used, and some are decorated with fancy sil ver slides, Separate skirts of all over lace with an underskirt of Bilk to match or con trast in color are used for evening wear. Those of black lace with de signs of rufflings, flounces, scrolls, etc., made of narrow black satin ribbon are particularly effective. Many of the lightest muslin cos tumes are finished at the waist with a ribbon which has the flowing ends at the back knotted at short Intervals. Tbe waists Of these . costumes have short sleeves trimmed with ribbon, and tbe same finish is used at tbe neck. Strange.

Many birds, particularly those that are prey for sportsmen, possess the faculty of skilfully dressing wounds. Some will even set bones, taking their own fenthers for bandages. In every instance tho old Injury Is found neatly dressed with down plucked from the Btem feathers and skilfully arranged over the wound, evi dently by tho long beak of the bird. In sonio Instances a solid plaster is thus formed, and in others bandages have been applied to wounds or broken limbs. One day a bird was killed (hat evi dently had been severely wounded at some recent period. The wound .was covered and protected by a sort of network of feathers, which had been plucked by the bird from Its own body and so arranged as to form a plaster, completely covering and protecting tho wounded surface. Tho feathers were fairly netted together, passing alter nately under and above each other and forming a textile fabric of great pro tective power. Youth's Chronicle. Squirrel, Not ChoMH. "Tho fox squirrels In Madison, Wis., have been for a long time protected, and are now a very plenslng feature of the town, affording much amusement to all who are Interested In animals and their ways," says I Claude, In The Pilgrim. "The squirrels were at first protected In the Capital Park, aud from there have spread through the town, taking cheerful possession of any attic that may have a weak spot through which they can nibble a hole. Once a family of squirrels has established Itself In an attic, it is very hard to dislodge, as the squirrels have strong attachments to places and dislike any Interference with their plans, and there are many stories of people who, tiring of such noisy neighbors, have tried to evict them. If tho squirrels are driven out of the house and their holes filled up, they protest indignantly at such un feeling conduct, and promptly proceed to make a fresh entrance, so It usually ends in the householder giving In aud letting them have, their way at last. "T'jo house which we have occupied for several winters is an old one, with large maple trees In front and a de lightful back yard full of smaller trees, and the squirrels have long been es tablished In the attic, where they evi dently bring up their families. "It seems Impossible to find out Just how many squirrels do live in the attic, though we were sure of three last win ter, but should one Judge by the noise they make it might be supposed that there were at least a dozen, for they are restless and irritable to a degree, often having pitched battles overhead, which sometimes end apparently in both combatants falling down between the partition Bputterlng and scram bling as they go. "On a stormy day in winter the squirrels often do not go out of doors at all, and when this happens they are like restless children who have been kept In by the bad weather, and squab ble and chatter all day. There is so much expression and variety In the notes ot these squirrels that to one listening at a little distance It seems as though an animated conversation were being carried on in a foreign lan guage. "Evidently fox squirrels are partly nocturnal in their habits, for they are often as lively during the night as at any other time, and when such is the case they are decidedly disturbing to the nervous, and the queer noises they make have given rise to a report that our house is haunted. It certainly would be very easy for a timid per son, unused to the ways of squirrels, to imagine that the attic was inhabited by some noisy ghosts, who were hold ing carnival in the darkness." Ha Went to See the King. Wilbur Johnson, a 15-year-old Wash ington City boy, is the hero ot quite an adventure. . The boy wont to England last summer for an outing and snap shot camera expedition, and was roy ally entertained by the King and Queen. He set out from St. Johns, N. B., on the 9th of June for England by schooner. Upon bis arrival in London he unstrung his camera and went to work. One day he came to Marl borough House, the residence of the King. Handing the guard a piece of silver he went inside the gates. Just as be was about ready to press the bulb on a good snap shot he was start led to see an elderly gentleman stand ing directly in front ot him. "Hello, sonny, what are you going to do?" he asked. . The boy told his story, and the gen tleman said, "You can't take a picture of Marlborough House." He informed him that be was the Duke of Argyle. He then asked the boy if be wanted to see the King, and the upshot ot the matter was that the Duke agreed to present the boy at Marlborough House on Wednesday morning following. Of course the boy was there at the ap pointed lime, dressed in the uniform ot tbe Washington High School Cadets, ot which be is a member. - - "I see you are an officer," began the King, after a hearty salutation. "No, sir I am only a private," ne answered. "Ah, I thought yen were an ofRcet." Then the boy explained to him that the officers wore shoulder straps and told him all about the high school ca dets and how for four years the Cen tral High-School at Washington had curried off tho Hag In drill contests, nud how this high school had the fastest runners, the best athletic teams, the broadest Jumpers In fact, tho best of everything In Bight. After a while the King tapped a lit tle silver bell, and a servant came In and bowed low to his Majesty. The King ordered tea, and the man brought It in and served It in little cups, with out milk or sugar. Just after tea had been served Queen Alexandra came In, asked him a few questions and became greatly Interested In what the boy told her of his little sister and brother. Then then Queen left the room. "I had the audacity," he says In tell ing about his visit, "to ask King Ed ward to let me see some of the royal Jewels. The King hesitated a second and then assented, and led the way Into a small room on one side, where wns Queen Victoria's crown, the sword of Edward, the Black Prince; the crown of Mary II., the sword ot King Arthur of tho Round Table and many other wonderful things." After having been with the King a half hour he backed himself out of the room and ran to his hotel, greatly elated over his adventure. The Ameri can Boy. Morenu, Hie t'rencli 1'onille. One cold night In tho late fall of the year a man entered the farmynrd of a Mr. Bradley. The man was a foreign er and seemed ill and tired. He was closely followed by a shaggy brown dog, known as a French poodle. The dog was a grotesque object, as he had been shaven to look like a dandy, but was now soiled and worn. His keen brown eyes were the only attractive thing about him. Farmer Bradley was a kind man; be never turned any one he thought needy or deserving away to starve or free-te. He had upon his place, the old farmhouse where he and his brothers and sisters were born, and although he had a fine new home, the old one was kept lu order. There was a fireplace and a bed, and here the man was brought and fed and left to sleep with his dog, which he called Morenu, keeping close watch beside him. In the morning the man was dead, and as there was no clew to tell his name or the place he came from, Farm er Bradley had him burled in the stranger's corner of the cemetery, and adopted Moreau. Moreau was a sensi ble dog. Farmer Bradley said he knew more than most folks. He did not lu BlHt on staying at his masters grave, as you read sometimes but readily fol lowed the farmer home. It any pains had been taken with Moreau's education ho would have per formed many tricks, but Farmer Brad ley and his wife were too busy for that. He was taught to drive the cows to pasture and to bring them home at night. A gate was constructed at the end of the lane In such a manner that it swung both ways, bo when the farm er said: "Moreau, It Is time to get the cows," he started without a word and ran down the lane. If the cows were wait ing, he would pitBh the gate open and hold It open with his paws for them to go through. But If they bad not come, he would go around the pasture and got them together, drive them up and opon the gate the other way. This he did every night and morning. The next thing he learned to do was to churn. A little harness was fitted to him, a band slipped over a water wheel and fastened to the big churn, a little platform for Moreau to walk Bteadily on and ou, tho crank of the churn turned by the motion till the butter was there, yellow as gold. Mo reau was then unharnessed and re ceived his reward In the form of a drink of buttermilk. Then he would run and play in the sunshine or sleep in tho shade till It was time to get the cows home. So the days sped along, and Moreau was getting to be quite an old dog. His hair was no longer allowed to grow In fantastic shapes, and he looked like any staid, shaggy poodle. Farmer Bradley and his wife grew to love Moreau and were very good to him. Later, Moreau did something more than to repay them for their kindness to the strangers. Farmer Bradley's farm was very large, and he bad many buildings on it; barns for bay and for cattle and for horses; and also acres ot woodland. They kept huge fires In the house night and day, as the winter was very cold, always intending to see that they were carefully covered up at night, as there was danger in the fierce and high winter winds. One night when all the family were sleeping, a spark flew out upon the rug. It was too large to be extin guished in its fall, so it kept growing brighter and brighter, and at last a tiny flame shot up. It wakened Mo reau; he looked at it, sniffed at it, and found It beyond him, so he bounded in to Mr. Bradley's room, and jumped and barked, and caught him by the sleeve, and pulled with all his might Mr. Bradley was dazed at first, but in a few minutes was wide awake, and on the spot. And In loss time than it can bo told, a most disastrous Are was pre vented, and Moreau well, he Is the he ro of the town, . Everybody loves and admires Farmer Bradley's sagacious French poodle Moreau. New York Mail and Express. Cannula. Sigbee Do you consider Jabberton a capable man? Dlgbee Sure.

BEYOND CIVILIZATION'S PALE, renditions In tha Mnitnon flay Country Described be a Vlltnr, Miles Spencer, agent for the Hud son Bay company, In the almost un known districts of Hudson bay. Is on his first visit to civilization. Though 60 he has never seen a railway train previous to his present trip, and had of conveyance as on electric car. -veyance as an electric car. ' His life has ben (.pent among tho Indians and Esquimaux who occupy the northern parts ot Labrador and the country Immediately cast of Hudson bay. Contrary to the general belief arising from the reports of missionary societies and others, Mr. Spencer says that In many respects the different tribes still adhere to their old customs and traditions. Teh Esqulmcaiix In particular, are. according to Mr. Spencer, a very dim cult people to civilize. There has never been bucIi a thing as a marriage cere mony among them, and tho nearest they have got to one today in the dis tricts controlled for the company by Mr. Spencer Is that tho young man generally tries to go to some post to buy a blanket, and that Is all the cere mony there Is about It. They are not bo numerous as formerly, and It Is thought, that this falling off Is princi pally due to the fact that for the pa.st generation they have been taught to nso English and American foods. Formerly they never even cocked their meat, and t'.iey seemed to derive more benefit from it raw than in Its cooked state. Money has not yet come Into usi among the people with whom Mr. Spencer has business denllngs. Both Indians aud Epqulnieaux bring their furs Into the company's -posts and in return receive different kinds ot mer chandise. Counters nre used which are known as "niaae beavers." each ot which Is worth about 60 cents of our money. The chief animals now bunted by these people are, first, the fox, and then the marten, beaver, otter, rein Jeer and finher. Tho silver fox Is of course most eagerly sought, yet not withstanding Its extreme value in civ ilization, the finest specimens sold at the posts yield only 30 made beav ers, or $18. By far the largest amount of the credit received for furs goes for tobac co. When an Esquimaux or an Indian gets 60 made beavers, It is safe to say that he spends 59 on tobacco. The Es quimaux, In particular, will sarrifice almost anything else for It. They are wonderfully friendly peo ple among themselves, and It Is very seldom. If ever, that quarrels arise be tween tho people of different districts. The same thing cannot be said ot the Indians to the east of Hudson bay. Mr. Spencer Is authority for the rather surprising statement that there has been no falling off In recent years In the number of furs sent out of this country. Nearly all the white men In this ter ritory marry squaws, and young chil dren, too, often grow up neglected. The only education any of them re ceive Is when a missionary happens to pass that way, for schools are un known. New York Sun. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain makes his way Into his place, and, before sitting beside the leader of the Iioiibb, takes from the table an order paper of the Jay. This, aB is generally known, contains a program ot the business to be transacted at that evening's sitting. Having seated himself, he studies the paper intently for a few BeconJs, and, having apparently mastered Its con tents, throws it from hlra with an Im patient gesture. Mr. Chamberlain then readjusts his eye-glass, thrusts his legs straight out before him, and looks round the house On rising to speak he places his neatly written notes on the brass bound box before him, and, having put the edges straight, fires away. Mr. Chamberlain speaks slowly and uses scarcely any gesture. Most dangerous when most polite, his face becomes like a piece ot parchment when roused to anger. In the art of crushlug an adversary by an Incon venient quotation or by some personal thrust Mr. Chamberlain Is unequaled. It Is this gift that makes him as for midable on the platform as he is In the House of Commons. At public meetings he always seems to expect a few ot his old radical friends among the audience. But woe be to the Inter rupter! Led on by the orator with a Beductlvo question, his opponent gives Just the reply expected. Back like lightning conies a crushing retort, and thenceforth all is smooth sailing. His perorations are Invariably written out in full in his study, and frequently commltteJ to memory, His voice is firm and clear, but not very musical; his enunciation perfect. Chambers' Journal. A Caw Klopae With a Hooil, The strange story of the elopement of an ordinary milch cow with a bull moose comes from Lake Onawa, a pretty sheet of water In the hills of Piscataquis county, much frequented by sportsmen from the big cities. The cow was the property ot Dr. A. T. San den, whose cottage Is located on the shore of Onawa, and she was kept in a pasture enclosed by a rail fence. A big moose bad been several times Been hanging around the cottage grounds late at night, displaying great bou nces. Thursday night he came close up to where tbe cow was, and the two seemed to be good friends. Late at night a tremendous crash was heard, and the next morning the fence was a wreck, and the cow gone.
