Miss Laddey took a ccurse at the School of Philan thropy In New York and was for a short while connected with the Green wich Settlement House on Jones street. New York Sun. College at Constantinople. The American college for Girls at Constantinople has obtained permis sion from the Turkish government to novo from Scutari on the Asiatic side Of the Bosporus to its now site on the European side. The permission was not asy to obtain as the high officials of Turkey, even the sultan himself, opposed moving the college to a more conspicuous place. It is believed that this opposition was ca red by the growing influence of the college on Turkish women as well as on the Christian, Armenians. Dr. Mary Mills Patrick, formerly of Canterbury, N. H., Is the president of the college and will direct the construction of the new buildings. New York Sun. Women's Clubs Useful. The clubwomen of the west seem to have a higher standard of duty than their sisters of the east. Here clubwo men as a rule meet for social pur poses, but in the west the women's clubs exist chiefly to act on important public problems. In Texas the clubwo men take active Interest in the schools, help the poor, equip Bmall parks as playgrounds, build fountains and drinking troughs for horses, and .take women and children into the country for picnics.. In this way the clubs promote the good of the whole community. A new Idea was put nto Sect by clubwomen in Kansas City. The members have delegated them selves to distribute flowers and books among the convalescent poor. They Co not only to the hospitals, but into the homes. In fact, they visit chlefiy In the homos, for they find it is there the need is greatest for cheerfulness and the helping spirit. New York Press. Means of Education. Window dressing is now the means ' of educating even the educated in the accurate names of new colors, new ma terials, etc. A wealth of millinery on how in a particular window in one of ou" smartest shopping streets attract ed the attention of a woman and a lit tle girl, evidently from "further up state than the Bronx." On the satin folds of the ribbons were hung cards printed in gilt with the French name of each shade. The child spelled ono out laboriously and asked what it meant, and a bystander explained "Why," said the youngster, "it faint a French color at all; it's nothing but the purple-pink ot them old Joe Pve weeds that grow In the swamp ' up home." And after a few moment's re flection, she added confidentially: "Say, do you know, I thought anything with a French name would be kinder gay or pretty, but that window looks as If they only named the dead ones French." All the colors were in those ador able grayed tones that to the mind ot a child of earth meant a faded or dead flower. Now York Tribune. Auto Banishes Shabby Cabby. Women notice more acutely thari men one excellent effect the automo bile has had on metropolitan life. All the cabmen dress better. That Is due entirely to the example of the chauf feurs. Time was when to see a driver fa proper attire meant he either was private coachman or was employed By a big livery stable. Cabmen wore the strangest assortments of garments conceivable. It was no uncommon thing to see them In ordinary over coats, such as were suitable only for walking. They seemed to scorn the ap parel Incident to their .calling. Once in a while one even would see a cabby In a cast-off military overcoat with a cape lined with artillery red. Often, In such case, the free-and-easy driver would not take the trouble to remove the brass buttons. With the advent of the chauffeur all that changed speed ily. The first to show the effect were the livery stable drivers. And at last every Individual cabman realized that It he was to earn a living he must dress in harmony with his occupation. In consequence a really shabby cabby is a rarity these days. New York Press. Curious Wedding Customs. The "old shoe" custom is generally supposed to have come from the He brews, and is supposed to have origin ally implied that the parents of the bride gave up all authority over her. The Germans had long a custom which ptrhaps, they have not wholly given up even now, of putting" the groom's shoe on the pillow ot the bridal bed; and In Anglo-Saxon marriages, the father gave a shoe of the bride to the bride groom, who touched her on the head with it to remind her who was the master. The wedding ring was used among the ancient Hebrews, primarily with the idea that the delivery of a ring conferred power on the recipient, and thus the wife wearing her husband's ring shared his authority. The ring In the Roman espousals was a pledge of loyalty; and the idea that it should be worn on the third finger of the left hand because "a nerve connects this finger with the heart," originated with the Romans. It is said to be a curious fact that the wedding cake, that elaborate, indi gestible compound so indispensable at the modern marriage ceremony, is the direct descendant ot a cake made ot water, flour and salt, of which, at the Roman high-class weddings, the mar ried couple and the witnesses partook at the time of signing ot the contract. Health. Divorce Evil. It cannot be denied that in theso days, when all the energy of a certain part of the community is devoted to the suppression of divorce, and when clerical obstinncy, born of narrow minded prejudice, is exerted to tighten the bonds of ill-mated and unhappy people, there is a singular and incon sistent disregard of the evils of impro per marriage. It 13 the custom for these people, who cannot believe that marriage is anything else but a "divine Institu tion," to urge and coerce unfit, un thinking and irresponsible youth tc rush into each other's arms, and to enter into a contract which so often means misery, for one or both. All the physical and mental handi caps, which are well known to physi cians and psychiatrists, are brushed aside, and natural laws are ignored for worldly or other reasons. What is little short of conspiracy is often en tered into by worldly and ignorant par ents, sometimes assisted by these very clerics, who conceal the truth to mar ry women who are the subjects of periodical insanity, with necessary ex isting psychiatrical taint, or women to espouse men with histories of heredi tary or acquired venereal or other dis ease, or drunkenness. It seems, therefore, nothing but right that the sociologist Bhould do his part In teaching the people their re sponsibility in bringing into the world offspring who are likely otherwise to drop by the wayside; and In pointing out means of betterment. Dr. Allan MicLane Hamilton In Putnam's. Fashion Notes. Buttons grow larger and more or nate. Gowns of colored net are fashion able. Straight lines are still the rule for gowns. Never was the topcoat more worn than today. Sweaters this year are longer than ever before. Fringe now appears on a great many articles of dress. Many of the gayest parasols have jet black handles. The newest dancing frocks for girls are being made of puffed mallnes over satin slips. Little balls and angles ot Irish lace add a quaint touch to imported lin gerie gowns. Silk and wool Ottoman of sheer tex ture is making many of the handsom est costumes. Balkan embroideries- are likely to play a great part In the forthcoming toilette schemes. Stockings match every variety of shoe and all the more fashionable ot the dress shades. Wheat ears of enormous size are tak ing the place of the aigrette In fash ionable coiffures. It is a tod to mingle roses, forget-me-nots, and other equally dissimilar flowers upon a hat. There is a noticeable demand just now tor Jabots, cuffs with frills and dainty tittle cravats. Some of the new white crinoline hats have high crowns, composed en tirely of black velvet. The plain shirt sleeve, without ful ness at the armholes, Is becoming more and more popular. A number of smart coBtumes have appeared, made of white serge and braided with colored soutache. Hat brims seem to get lower and lower. Unless they cover almost the entire bend they are not modish. The apron tunic has become very popular. Other skirts are themsolves draped and tied at the back Into knots and bows..

Cattle feeding that wins big prices was recently well exemplified in sales of beef cattle in Chicago nt 17.80 to $8 per hundred pounds by John Ro hoff of Iowa. Mr. Rohoff fed some good Shorthorns 8nd Herefcrds which were no better bred than others that sold on tho same market at $5.85 to $6. It was the better feeding that Mr. Rohoff did that gave him the bat ter prices. This is nil a good illustra tion of doing a thing right, ot feed tog foods well proiiortloned in nitro genous and carbonaceous qualities. Proper and thoughtful feeding takes no more tlmo nor labor, but It re quires care and good Bense simply. These Illustrations are conclusive to anyone that It pays to feed right. It is stated that Mr. Rohoff last season sold on the same market 130 head of the same breeds cf beef cattle. They wore fed corn, mixed clover hay and some Unseed meal for finishing, and they gained 600 pounds each, weigh ing 1,010 when sold, and they mode him money, as he always gets top prices for quality of beef. Indiana Farmer. 8tomach Worms in Sheep. A loading veterinarian of one ot the state agricultural colleges in re ferring to sheep stomach worms says: Among the several medicinal agents used as preventives, tobacco and iron sulfate are very good, and where tak en freely by the sheep seem to be successful in at loast holding down the worms to such numbers as to render them practically haim'.ess. The meth ods of administering tobacco have teen frequently mentioned in these columns, but I will review them brief ly. Tobacco stems and finely ground tobacco may be purchased from tobac conists' shops. The stems are eaten readily by some sheep, less so by oth ers, and some will not touch the stems unless salted. The tobacco dust may be mixed with salt equal parts and left for the sheep to take at liberty. Iron sulfate should be mixed with salt, 1 pound to every 100 pounds for all classes ot stock, a preventive not only ot worm disease but of somo germ Infections affecting the digestive ap paratus. It Is furthermore a splen did tonic, which tends to build up the system and fortify it against tho Invasion of parasites. In conclusion, I wish to say that !f you have stomach worms upon your farm, go after them early and thor oughly, as they arc likely to produce yery serious results, and are by no means so easily gotten ild of as is sometimes stated. Weekly Witness. The Farm Wetd Problem. From the early spring till late fall the farmer Is compelled to wage daily warfare against his ancient enemy, the weeds. With our present methods of cultivation weeds have been increas ing In number and variety, and com ing to us in rarious ways from the East, the West, the North and the South. The winds carry them; the railroads are constantly Introducing new weeds. They are found even In the clover seed from which the farm er hopes so much in carrying out a rotation adapted to his conditions and circumstances. He has to fight daily with weeds annual, biennial, peren nial. A proper rotation helps greatly to solve the problem. The introduction of a small flock of sheep on every farm will still further help rolve the problem. To use Elicsp effectively, however, It Is ncceEsary that the farm be fenced sliecp-tlght both with road fencee, line fences, and partition fenc es. Weeds in the grain fields can be dealt with best hy thorough prepara tion cf the ground preparatory to seed ing, nnd such heavy seeding as will enable tho grain to Emother out the weeds which como up after sowing. TO - DATE Then if the mower is used after har vest for the double purpose of pre venting annuals from going to seed and strengthening the stand ot clover, the problem is as nearly solved as is possibly under present conditions. The problem of mastering weeds In the corn field la largely the thorough preparation of the seed bed to begin with, thus incidentally destroying them by the millions in the dew by their youth. Unfortunately, condi tions sometimes prevent this thor ough preparation, and alBo prevent that early cultivation when the weeks are in the white, which Is absolutely essential for a good crop of corn. In a season at' all favorable It Is, there fore, not so difficult to deal with an nuals. The mastery of the biennial, and especially the perennial, involves a more difficult problem. Unless fanners take great care, a good many fields In which there are spots of quack grass will be seeded more thoroughly and In time through ly and in time throughout by the use of the corn cultivator, which will dis tribute them over the field. This is also true of Canada thistles, and more particularly true in the northern part of our territory than in the southern. Every section, however, has Its own particular class of weeds. What quack grass and Canada thistle are to the North, the horse nettle, blnd-weed, and morning-glory are to the South. These are all perennials and will fight for their place with persistency and, unfortunately, oftti'mes with success. Weeds In the pastures, whether an nual or perennial, present a different problem. The worst of these is rag weed, which can be kept down only by keeping tho stand of grass so thick that neither the ragweed nor squirrel tall grass can have a chance to grow. We hope our readers who have blue grass pastures that are usually cov ered with ragweed In the fall have taken cur advice to Beed to clover, and thus double the growth of grass and keep down these and other weeds. There is one good thing about weeds however. They stimulate us to Im proved methods of cultivation. The very things which the farmer Is obliged to do to keep down weeds are the things that he should do to in crease his crops. Hence, in one way weeds are a blessing in disguise. They are whips and scourges which force the farmer to adopt Improved methods of cultivation; and while we have no Intimation as to the in tention of Providence tti creating weeds In such Infinite variety, and giving them such habits of porsever ence and powers of endurance, we suspect that this is tho object "Thorns also and thistles (this may be taken for weeds in general) shall it bring forth for thee." Wallace's Farmer. Farm Notst. Separate the growing cockerels from the pullets. Lack of business brings on liver complaint In hens, just as it does in men. Dust is the greatest enemy to whole some milk. Keep down the dust in the milking stables. Sloppy mashes are not half so good for poultry as those which are a bit crumbly. Don't get them too wet. The old brood sow should be kept as long as she remains vigorous. She knows better how to raise her suck ling pigs than the younger mother. Look at the feet of your horses now and then when out on the road. Some times they will pick up a stone be tween the sides ot the shoes and may become lame before you know it. The greatest age for horses and donkeys is said to be 35 years. The last years are precarious ones and about only in name. Dogs live to 25 years about 25 years too long for 90 percent of them. Tho hog destined for the market has a short existence, and the profit upon him Is in ration to the amount of healthy forcing he Is given. The young, growing hog should be pushed along as fast as possible. The Can Opener. Speaker Cannon at Valley Forge de fended the milder forms of profanity wittily. "These not irreverent cuss words," said he, "act as a safety valve. A man, but for them, might do shocking things smash the piano, scissor the portieres." ' Speaker Cannon lighted a fresh ci gar. "So many things in the home," he said, "incite a man to er let off steam. There's opening cans, for in stance; opening these new-fangled cans with patent openers that are al ways getting lost. "A Detroit man was letting off steam terribly the other day as he opened ono of these patent cans. His wifa, tlrtd of the noise, called from the next room: "'What aro ycu opening that can with, dear?" " The can opener, of course,' he ro piled. " 'Oh, said she. I though you were opening it wIUi prayer." Detroit Free Press. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Many a single man is guilty ot dou ble dealing. The only regular thing about some men is their irregularity. A man Is always willing to lend job $5 when he hasn't got it. Too many men try to adjust taeir religion to fit their business. An automobile by any other name would, no doubt, smeH the same. Some women, like puddings, are too rich to agree with their husbands. A political dark horse Is a real nightmare to the rest of the bunch. A discontented person is almost as big a bore as one whe Is self-satisfied. A girl thinks It is flirting if she catches a young man looking at her. Every time two women go to a mat inee together they call it a theatre par ty. It doesn't pay to be a dog in the manger unless you are in the ranTne class. A woman never misses an oppor tunity to boast of her Influence over some man. Even those who marry for love alone do not object to a little money on the side. A woman can't see anything attrac tive about another woman whom her husband admires. There's sufficient money in circula tion, but the trouble is la getting it to circulate our way, Never Judge by outward appear ances. A good looking. woman may not be as good as she looks. A woman should never marry a man to reform him until she can make a satisfactory omelet out of bad eggs. The girl who claims she can marry any man she wants to seldom boasts of her selection of a husband In after years.' When a woman has occasion to visit her poor relations she always likes to talk about the trouble she has with her hired girl.' Isn't It queer how people who are not capable of giving advice to them selves seem to know the proper thing for you to do. After a man has known a woman about so long he begins to tell her the story of his life with the accent on the Btory. From "Sayings of a Cy nic," In the New York Journal. TAKING CENSUS OF MEXICO. President Diaz and Other Men of Pro minence Will Help In the Work. The central committee on census work appointed by the local authori ties to draw plans for the taking ot the federal district, has completed arrangements for making an accurate estimate of the inhabitants of the capi tal and outlying towns and has de cided to appoint prominent persons in every town to take down the names of residents personally to preclude the possibility of any names being left oft the lists. In former years it has been the ex perience of census takers that a large majority of the natives refused to give the names ot all the members of their household for fear that they might be recruited in the army. The govern ment has decided to appoint prominent persons as census takers in order that the actual number of inhabitants of the republic msy be secured within a close margin ot accuracy. President Diss will personally take the census of the block on the north side of Calle de Oadena, where he lives; members of the cabinet will perform a similar duty in their re spective neighborhoods; the archbish op of Mexico will take the census ot population in his own quarters and an effort will be made to have all promi nent citizens accept the appointment for their neighborhoods generally in order that confidence may be inspired among the natives and the figures may be as accurate as possible. But in interior Mexico an uphill task Is In store for the authorities, as the majority is bent upon thwarting the census worn, being formed- of il literate peons and farm laborers who are still afraid of compulsory military service. Mexican Herald. Importance of Teeth.' Dr. Osier has stated that the ques tion of preserving the teeth Is more important than the liquor question. No doubt much dyspepsia Is due to decayed and defective teeth, which preclude complete mastication of the food even If anybody In America had the time to eat properly. Dentists, like doctors, are now beginning to realize that their true mission is' not "a general rebuilding system," but a systematic and well-considered effort to prevent and overcome the decay and loosening of human teeth.
