DUCHESS A PHILANTHROPIST.
Duchess PhUlp of Wurtemburg has

the right to make It in foreign coun

, BUSINESS GIRLS.
' When a business girl Is a failure
the reason often is that she regards
the work she has taken up as only
a temporary thing something to fill
tip the years that lie between leav
ing school and the husband and
home that she hopes sooner or later
will fall to her lot.
That is an utterly wrong principle.
Even if the chances are that the girl
will marry, she must work hard and
gain all the knowledge she can of
her calling, so that, should marriage
not come her way, she may, instead
-of developing into a complaining old
maid,' become an interesting and
charming woman, leading a busy life
too busy very often to think much
of self, but never too busy to do a
kind action or help on younger wo
men beginning life. Grit.

' MARY GARDEN AN AMERICAN.
Adelina Patti was born In Spain,
tut her parents were Italians, and
they brought her to New York at so
early an age that, to cite her own
words, she "learned of all languages
English first." Olive Fremstad was
born in Norway, but came to the
United States as a child and grew
here. Mary Garden was born Id
Scotland, but came to Chicago at
the age of six, and remained in this
country till she was nineteen, when
she returned to Europe. Perhaps we
cannot claim these three singers as
Americans with the Bame right that
we claim Emma Eames, who hap
pened to see the light of the world
first in Shanghai; yet the fact that
all of them lived with us during the
most ImDresslonable. educational pe
riod of life prevents us from looking 1
on them as foreigners. Mary Garden, I
at any rate, looks on herself as being '
an American, and we have reason to
be proud of it, for she is an artist
of unusual gifts "and attractive in
dividuality. From Henry T. Finck's
"Mary Garden," in the Century.
SIOUX WOMEN.
Among the Sioux It was no cMsgrace
to the chief's daughter to work with
her hands. Indeed, says Mr. Charles
A. Eastman In "Old Indian Days,"
their standard of worth was their i
willingness to work, but not for the
sake of accumulation, only in order
to give.
Generosity is a trait that Is highly
developed In the Sioux woman. She
makes many moccasins and other ar
ticles of clothing for her male rela
tives, or for any who are not well
provided. She loves to see her
brother the best dressed among the
young men, and the moccasins, espe
cially of a young brave, are the pride
of his womankind.
Her own moccasins are plain, her
leggings close-fitting and not as high
as her brother's. She parts her
smooth, jet-black hair in the middle
and plaits It in two braids. Her or
naments, sparingly worn, are beads,
elks' teeth, and a touch of red paint.
No feathers are worn by the woman,
unless in a sacred dance.
She is supposed to be always occu
pied with some feminine pursuit or
engaged in some social affair, which,
is also strictly feminine as a rule.
Even her language is peculiar to her
sex, some words being used by wo
men only, and others have a feminine
termination.
There is an etiquette of Bitting and
standing, which is strictly observed.
The woman muBt never raise her
knees or cross her feet when seated.
She seats herself on the ground side
wise, with both feet under her.
Nearly all her games are different
from those of the men. She has a
sport of wand-throwing which devel
ops fine muscles of the shoulder and
back. The wands are about eight
feet long, and taper gradually from
an inch and a half to half an inch in
diameter. Some of them are artisti
cally made, with heads of bone or
horn, and it is remarkable to what
a distance they may be made to slide
over the ground.
In the feminine game of hall, which
is something like "shinny," the ball
is driven with curved sticks between
two goals. It is played with from
two to three hundred on a side, and
a game between two bands or villages
is a picturesque event.
A WOMAN ON WOMEN.
Mrs. Anna Rogers, in a recent Is
sue of the Atlantic Monthly, asserts
that the American woman has mega
lomania; that her attitude towards
marriage is apt to be either supercil
ious or sentimental; that she falls to
realize that she owes a duty to so
ciety in general to the same extent
that the American man does; that
her training as a girl does not fit her
for matrimony, and that the Increas
ing tendency towards divorce in this
country is largely due to the Amer
ican woman's failure so thoroughly
to forget her Individualistic ideas as
to make a success of her end of the
matrimonial game. In short, Mrs.
Rogers says a great deal which no
mere man would be quite bold
enough to say; and already there is
a war of words arisen. There Is Just
one trouble concerning generaliza
tions of this sort that is, that they
are generalizations. When yon say
"the American woman," Just whom
do you meanT Out of, lee. us say,
twenty million women, how many
have had a chance to develop mega
lomania, how many have been encour
aged to foster the delusion that they
are superior to all the world else?
How many have had the opportunity
to indulge themselves in, to riot in,
the individualistic ideas which are
asserted to be making them unfit for
the desperate adventure of matri
mony? The fact Is that nature, and
economic conditions, will always keep
the overwhelming majority of the
women of any nation from any very
marked deviation from the feminine
form. Uncle Remus's Magazine.

Midnight Murderers.
By W. T. HORNADAY.
The desire to murder for the sake
ftf killing is born in some carnivorous
animals, and by others it is achieved.
Among the largest and finest of the
felines, the lions and tigers, midnight
murders are very rare. Individual dis
like Is shown boldly and openly, and
we are given a fair chance to prevent
fatalities. Among the lions, tigers,
leopards, jaguars, and pumas of the
New York Zoological Park, twenty
eight In number, there has been but
ont ihurder. That was the crime of
Lopez, the big jaguar, who deserved
Instant death as punishment. It was
one of tho most cunning crimes I
have ever seen among wild animals,
and Is now historic.
For a year Lopez pretended osten
tatiously to be a good natured anl-
mal. Twenty times at least he acted
the part of n playful pet, Inviting me
to reach him and stroke him. At (
last We decided to glvo him a cage
mate, and a fine adult female jaguar
was purchased. The animals actually
tried to caress each other through
the bars, and the big male completely
deceived us all.
At the end of two days It was con
sidered safe to permit the female
jaguar to enter the cage of Lopez.
She was Just as much deceived as we
were. An animal that Is afraid always I
leaves its traveling cage slowly and
unwillingly, or not at all. When the
two sets of doors were opeued, the
female Joyously walked Into the cage
of her treacherous admirer. In an
Instant, Lopez rushed upon her,
seized her whole neck in his powerful
jaws, and crushed her cervical verte
brae by his awful bite. We beat him
over the head; we spiked him; we
even tried to brain him; but he held
her, as a bulldog would hold a kitten,
until she was dead. He was deter
mined to murder her, but had cun
ningly concealed his purpose until his
victim was fully in his power. From
McClure's Magazine.
Milk and Butter in Japan.
There was a time when milk was
regarded In Japan with the same ab
horrence as cheese is in China, es
pecially the pungent and strong
smelling variety. Recent statistics,
however, according to Consul Wil
bur T. Gracey, show that time has
worked a great change in this respect
and milk and butter are now in great
favor In Japan. Whereas twenty-five
years ago not more than one or two
per cent, of the persons visiting a
European restaurant, or eating a
European meal at a friend's house,
would have thought of touching but
ter, fully forty or fifty per cent, now
eat it wjth a relish. They are, how
ever, quite content to do without.
As o dairy farms, they have In

Vllatnpv In iMa nmmf iv TMrfv rtn
forty years ago it was abhorred. The
average Japanese could not induce
himself to drink it. But to-day many
a household consumes one or two
bottles of milk daily, partly because
doctors have recommended it as a
unique and wholesome beverage.
"Milk halls," too, are now quite num
erous. Butter will probably take
much longer to come widely into
Togue, because of its expensiveness.
A pound of fresh butter costs at least
one yen (49.8 cents gold) In Toklo

How Old is Niagara?
This question, always interesting
for the light it throws on the past
history of the earth, has had 'many
answers. The latest is that of Dr. J,
W. Spencer, who, from recent studies
on the spot, finds that the mean rate
of recession of the falls at present is
4.2 feet per year, and that this has
been the rate for approximately 227
years. But owing to the fact that
originally the waters of Lake Erie
only were discharged over the falls,
giving but one-fifteenth of the pres
ent water supply, the rate of reces
sion was at first much lower. A sud
den widening of the gorge above
Foster's Flat indicates the position ot
the falls when the other great lakes
began to discharge Into Lake Erie.
From his data, Dr. Spencer calcu
lates the entire age of the falls at
39,000 years. The cutting, with the
full power ot the four lakes, Is esti
mated to have lasted 3500 years.

PLANS FOR THE CARDEN.
I find the best way to lay out the
garden Is to have the rows as long and
straight as possible. This saves lots
of time in cultivation. We see many
gardens laid out In small square beds
with walks all around them. This is
all needless labor to prepare them,
and then it takes much more work to
keep them clean.
If the rows run straight across the
garden one can run the wheel hoe
through so quickly and easily that it
becomes a real pleasure to keep the
weeds down, and it pays any one that
has a garden to have a wheel. hoe.

- THE BEST COW. 1
As a rule farmers generally give
the cow that is giving the most milk
the credit for being the best cow in
the stable. This is not always bo, for
in some cases the milk from such a
cow when tested by the Babcock test
will show that while the quantity
might be all right the quality Is away
off. There 'are a great many cows in
this country that are fooling their
owners In this manner, and such cows
should be tested and thus shown in
their true light. Weekly Witness.
THE FAMILY HORSE AND COW.
Watch the horse's hoofs carefully
during the spring months. The mud
should not be allowed to cake on
them, and, If one has been driving
over wet roads, the animal's legs
Bhould be thoroughly dried off.
It is a wise plan to get the manure
pile away from the stable as soon as
possible In the spring. Nowadays
many people with country places have
manure drawn direct to the fields
throughout the winter, but if this
practice Is not followed It should' now
be carted to the ground where It Is to
be used and spread.
Be careful to see that the horse
and cow are never without a piece ot
rock salt. It Is a good plan to have
a email box fastened to the stall
manger to keep it In.
The cow should be out of doors
every fair day for exercise, but be
sure that she is not allowed to stray
on the soft and wet turf, which is
easily cut up and damaged at this
time of year. Suburban Life.

DEAD SHOT FOR INSECTS.
When Insects, mice or other creat
ures Infest grain bins, burrow out ot
Bight or attempt to make their places
secure against ordinary methods ot
attack; the best remedy is bisulphide
of carbon, a very volatile liquid,
which becomes rapidly converted into
gas, penetrating Into every hole,
crack or other harboring place. As
this gas is heavier than air it sinks
down to the lowest points, hence goes
wherever the creature can go. Poured
Into a rat hole (about a tablespoon
ful) and the hole covered with dirt,
the rat must come out or perish.
To destroy weevil in wheat It may
be used with advantage. Being very
volatile and also highly explosive, no
flame or light of any kind must be
brought near it, not even a lighted
pipe or cigar. It has given excellent
satisfaction when used at the roots ot
trees, after removing the earth for
that purpose, in destroying root lice
and other insects at work near the
roots. T'ae Epltomlst.
