Bnrrctt'a Case Disproves tho fcrex's Innate Honesty, Ever since woman entered the do main of active business, accepted and performed the duties of trust and re sponsibility, it lias been urged that the gentler sex is essentially honest. A woman embezzler has been regarded as an impossibility. The sex has not been sufficient to protect them from the commission of other crimes, but that one would deliberately steal from an employer and endeavor to conceal the defalcation has been considered of the things not possible to nature. This dream of superiority in innate honesty received a rude shock when the tragic fate of Miss Alice M. Bar rett, the Boston bookkeeper and stenog rapher, showed that uuder the same temptation and with the same incent ives at work, there can be and is but little-difference in humanity, whether clad in skirts or trousers. Sad as It is to the sorrowing relatives, sad as it may seem to all who sympathize with them in their double bereavement, the evidence was too direct to admit of doubt. The young woman not only took the funds of her employers, but, fear ing the inevitable exposure incident to a change in the make-up of the firm, followed iu the footsteps of so many of the same class. She ended her own life, rather than face the consequences of exposure. The story of the death and all of the circumstances surrounding it has been told. The fact that an effort had been made to destroy the cash book by Are was known within a day after the fact was known that a bullet and not light | ning caused the death of the attractive young woman. Scarcely anyone eoiihl be surprised nt the result of the examination of the firm's books, after her mother had ad mitted that the girl had lived on a scale that her salary could not possibly jus tify, and after it had been shown that the girl had suffered serious losses ID wildcat speculation. A complete chain of circumstantial evidence had been forged. It shows that Alice' Barrett was extravagant In her expenditures, that she gambled in stocks, that she took her employers' money in order to keep up this speculation, tlmt she set fire to the books in order to conceal the defalcation, and perhaps with the in tention of destroying the building in or der to do so, and that she finally shot herself in order to avoid facing the dis covery and disgrace which she sup posed threatened her. She was endowed with a lively im agination. She did not care for men nor for marriage, at least a marriage wliigh would pinion her to the ordinary duties of n housewife. In one of her letters she said she preferred to sip her own cup of tea alone and only stipulat ed that the tea should be of good qual ity, and that she should not be obliged to drink it out of a cracked cup. She thought she was denied opportunity, and she attempted to create it. Some where or somehow she had heard of the wonderful things done in the buck et shops. Here, she thought, was n quick road to wealth, not wealth for its own sake, but for the sake of the op portunities it would give lier. She lost, and to cover this made false entries in the books. It appears that Miss Barrett had been pursuing this dangerous course for about a year, when the awful day of reckoning came. The books, upon examination, show very clearly when she began to appropriate her employ er's money, and the clerks recollect the fact that about the same time there was a marked change in the personal appearance of Miss Barrett. Her man ner of dressing became more elaborate, her clothing was of the richest ma terial and expensive jewelry figured In her adornments. These things were ac counted for by the young lady to the satisfaction of her mother, but In order to explain these things the favorite child of her mother had to resort to further deception. The first venture In speculation had proved a failure, but, added to her de sire for finery, the fever of speculation had taken possession of her. She es sayed a second venture and went into tho mire deeper and deeper. Each succeed ing loss seemed but to make her the more determined, for she hoped that success would yet come to her. Miss Barrett's position In the office of Codman & Codiuan made it possible for her to carry on this work with little fear of detection. It is not believed that Miss Barrett intended to steal out and out her employer's money, but that she was merely using it as a means to an end. She hoped to succeed and mukc good what she had taken. Woman Professor In South Africa. Miss Mavtlia Veeiler has been ap pointed professor of mathematics in the Huguenot College, at Wellington, Cape Colony, South Africa. She is the daughter of Dr. M. A. Veeder, a well-known scientist of this place, and has been teaohing in the Newark (N. Y.) Union School. She is a Cornell graduate. Old Fashion Revived. Tlio old fashion of having all parts of a costume to match in shade is be ing revived. Of late entire toilets of beige, gray or cornflower blue have ap peared and are decidedly effective. Of course, it is best carried out in the delicate shades, as the effect of such a costume in a pronounced color would be rather glaring. Ecru is easily carried out in pale linon, embroided in white, the collar and sash being of white and the hat of yellow chip, trimmed with white plumes. The parasols for this toilet should be of yellow linon, embroidered in white, with an ivory handle. Women and I.lfo Insnraueo. It is not so very many years ago that certain life insurance companies re fused to issuo policies upon the lives of women. The difficulties in the way of a satisfactory examination, the perils of maternity and the numerous nervous disorders to which the sex is liable, were cousidered suflieieut reasons to put them on the prohibited list. Exper ience lias, however, demonstrated that the views of these companies were not based upon facts. As a matter of fact, whatever advantage there is in the matter of longevity lies with women, and not with men. In 1891 a census was taken in London among twenty one centenarians, of whom sixteen were women and five were men. A group of the Southern countries of Eng land at the same census exhibited sixty six [centenarians, of whom forty-three were women and twenty-three wero men. A census of centenarians taken in Franco in 1895 showed 213 persons who had attained the age of one hundred, and of these 213, 147 were women and only G6 were men. The United States census of 189G gave 3981 persons who had reached one hundred years and upward, and of these 2583 were women and 1398 men. Women are much less exposed to death from the multitud inous accidents incident to the pur suits of men. They escape not only the perils of hunting and rough out-of door sports that overtake many men, but are comparatively exempt from the devastating effects of the excessive use of alcohol, which is the indirect, if not the direct, cause of the early death of a large percentage of the other sex. In addition to all the various causes of death from which the more sheltered lives of women protect them, they are almost entirely free from business worries atuLtroubles, which bring in their train the innumerable nervous disorders that undermine and destroy the constitutions of so many city men. —New York Ledger. I.lcht-Welglit ('loth Cram. After wearing thin muslins and silks, a cloth gown, if the day be cool, looks very smart and "trim," and much more finished than the thin gowns, so all Complete summer outfits include two or more costumes of this description. A charming gown intended for cool days at Newport, and for Lenox later on, is of tan cloth—a light golden brown. Across the top of the front breadth is a deep pattern of braiding, which extends over the hips and nar rows to a point at the back, where the fulness of the skirt is laid in deep turned-nnder plaits. On the side of the back breadths is also braiding, which extends from the belt to the hem. This braiding is in gold and tan. The waist is a casaqne with an exaggeratedly short frill, and is amass of braiding. Ruffles of cream lace show between the fronts of the jack et, and the belt and turned-over collar are of black satin. Another gown, which, to nse a tailor's expression, is "built on the same lines," is of bright blue smooth cloth with braiding of black and silver, but the waist is a short jacket with wide turned-over collar and pointed revers of white cloth. It is claimed this white cloth can be cleaned by some preparation of pipe-clay, and it is the same material that is used for military uniforms. The white facings against the blue are most effective, and make the gown very smart. In royal purple a charming costume is made with the skirt trimmed with many rows of black braid of different widths, and the jacket, which is tight fitting, is also braided. The fronts of the jacket do not meet, and are fin ished with rows of round gilt buttons, ' over which are placed lacings which hold the jacket together] and 'yet re veal a glimpso of a purple and white blouse front. A light gray poplin is made on most charming lines. The skirt, which has five gores,|has each seam outlined with a piping of white satin; the waist is tight-fitting in the back, but in front is draped in loose graeefnj folds of white satin, and has a bolero jacket of white lace. The lower part of the sleeves is shirred, but at the top is puffed. With this costume is worn a bonnet of black straw, with a wide high brim and narrow crown trimmed with a bunch of white ostrich tips and white satin ribbon; bonnet strings of the White ribbon are tied under the ohin, and give a decidedly old-fash ioned picturesque look that is very effective.—Harper's Bazar.

The gold medal was conferred, as a rule, only on royal personages. Mrs. Lewis is the name of the woman who discovered some manu scripts of the Gospel in a Syriao con vent on Mount Sinai.

The two sisters will soon publish a text of their re searches. Fashion Notes* Flounces and frills are arranged upon the skirts of the latest French gowns to simulate overskirts, long, short, medium, pointed, square, and slashed. Embroidery is in greater demand than for many years past and ladies who are skillful with the needle can provide themselves with all sorts of exquisite novelties. Challie, wool delaine, nun's veiling and other dresses of thin woolen ma terial are made up over silk slips and can be worn until late in the season or for house dresses during the entire winter. Suitable for wear with afternoon gowns are collars of silk with Van Dyke points back and front, edged with narrow black velvet, finished with a four-in-hand of mull with lace ends and a knot of the silk edged with black to complete the tie. The zouave jacket effects are legion, and very becoming to slender women or women with long waists. In ma terial they vary from lace of cobwebby fineness for light gowns to ruflles o) the same material as the gown, edged with narrow lace to accentuate the jacket. White waists are worn with skirts of all colors and materials. For best wear, India silk, silk muslin and fine cotton fabrics are liked. India silk trimmed with embroidered galloon or fine white ribbon, embroidered in silk, chenille and beads will make up charmingly. A novelty hat is very small with the brim faced with velvet. It is worn on one side of the head, the other being filled down to the brim level with an enormous mass of fine flowers set on a foundation. A wreath of roses surrounds the crown and velvet loops stand up at one side. Bicycle skirts are growing shorter and the young woman who feels in clined to abbreviate this garment con siders herself privileged to do so. The high-topped shoes which are so pretty and beguiling have much to do with the fashion. Thero is also a tendency toward tho adoption of low tan shoes and tan or black stockings as a regular portion of the wheel cos tume. AGRICULTURAL TOPICS. Turnip Flavorg In Milk. When opws accidentally get into a turnip patch, or other vegetables that impart a bad flavor to the milk, it can be made as good as ever for cream and butter making if it is heated to a tem perature of 140 degrees. This is best done by placing the vessel in water - which iB quickly brought to a slightly higher temperature. All the odor 1 passes of! at this temperature, as it is very volatile. In cooling, the cream will rise to the surface. It also makes the butter come more quickly than from milk not heated. No Raking?) After Harvests. Under old methods of harvestingthe steel rake was a very important adjunct to seoure scattered grain. Yet even in those days good farmers did not find those rakings very valuable, as they were always stained and often nearly ready to sprout by alternate wet and dry weather. The new harvesters leave no rakiugs, and as what would otherwise be wasted is thus saved for mnrket, it makes a material addition to tho crop. We know farmers who used to threßh the rakings separately and grind them for hog feed rather than mix the stained with the marketable grain. Alfalfa Replacing Corn. It is not likely that alfalfa, the clover which has succeeded so well in Cali fornia will ever become plentiful in the East. Our wet winters will rot the roots or at least decrease their vigor. On very dry, sandy or gravelly soil it might succeed here. But it seems to be especially adapted to hot and dry climates, and hence its success in the j arid regions of the far West. As its root often goes several feet deep it is likely to change the character of the climate, for wherover nlfalfa roots have gone water will also go. The alfalfa retains its greenness during the severest droughts. Of course it must be all tho time evaporating moisture, and this also will havesome effeot iu changing the climate. Henco in localities too dry for corn, alfalfa is taking its place as a feed for all kinds of stock. It is at the same time fitting the soil for growing corn and other crops.—Boston Cultivator. Dnlayed Hutching of Egg*. I Throe weeks is the time usually al lowed for a hen to sit before her eggs are hatohed. But in spring, when the fowls are in good health and the eggs make the most vigorous chicks, hatch ing will generally begin on the twen tieth day, and by the twenty-first the entire brood may be out. Eggs kept tVo or three weeks b'efore being set will not hatch before the twenty-first day. Late in the season twenty-two or even twenty-three days may pass before all the eggs will hatch. If left I longer than this it is probable that the chick has died in tho shell. It is very ensy after the twentieth day of sitting to know whether the egg contains a j live chick, as its pecking may bo heard I against tho shell. Moisten the egg shell with quite warm water, but do not take that which lias been boiled. It had better be sprayed on the egg, j vVhich should afterwards be wiped dry j and placed under the hen. The water I sprayed on supplies the chick with some air, and it also softens the shell j for it to peck at. The egg is porous. If it were not, chicks would always die in the shell. When nn egg breaks in tho nest, all the other eggs should be washed in tepid water aud rubbed dry, | so as to remove the albumen from the broken egg. As this albumen closes : the pores of the shell it quickly | smothers and kills all the chicks they j contain. It may do this if it is on the j shell only a very short time.—Ameri- • can Cultivator. Will Bees Destroy Crnpog? There is a great difference of opin ion among well informed fruit grow ers, writes Professor J. Troop, of In diana, as to whether the honey beo aotuully destroys ripe grapes without any assistance. In order to secure I reliable data on this question, some careful observations were made during the post season. A Worden grapevine was selected, and when tho fruit was ripe all defective berries and surplus leaves were removed, so as to allow the bees free movement and give them every facility for work. A colony of | Italian bees was then placed close to the vine, and both vine and hive en- ! closed with mosquito netting, giving 1 the bees about 300 cubio feet of spnee j in whioh to work. At first they did not take kindly to the confinement, but after the first few days did not soenx to mind it. They were kept confined with the grapes just three I weeks, and during this time they were not allowed to get any other food ex- ; cept what they already had in the hive. At tho end of tho three weeks they were removed and the grapes carefully examined, but it could not be discovered that a single grape had been injured. The natural inference is, that if the bees could not be in duced to eat tho grapes when kept in close confinement with them, they are not liable to do much injury when at liberty to seek tho food they like best. It is well known that certain wasps will out the skin of grapes, and I have always held to the opinion that the wasp was the culprit which opens the door for the bees 'to enter. This opinion has been confirmed the past season, when two species of the genus Polistes, or social wasps, were seen to light on tho grapes and with their sharp jaws tear open the skin aud suck tho juice. After which the honey bees would usually finish the work. In fact, it would bo n very stupid bee that would not avail itself of such an opportunity.

Being anxious to learn the absolute facts j fn the case, a special reporter was sent to have a talk with the girl and her parents, i They were not at home, however, being i some distance away. A message was sent to Mr. Stevens, asking him to write up a 1 full history of the case, and a few days ago ! the following letter was received from Mrs. } Stevens: "BT.

We don't want any newspaper no toriety, but in a case like this where a few words of what I have to say may menn re i covery for some child, I fool it my duty to ; tell you of her case. "Two years ago this winter Mabel began complaining of pains in her limbs, princi pally In her lower limbs. She was going to SOhool, and had to walk about three quar i ters of a mile each day, going through all ; kinds of weather. Hhe was thirteen years <Hd and doing so well in her studies that I disliked to take her from school but we had to do it. "For several months she was confined to the house, and Hhe grew pale and dwindled down to almost nothing. Her legs and j arms were drawn up and her appearance I was pitiful. Several doctors had attended ' her, but it seemed that none of them did her any good. They advised us to take her to the springs, but times wero so hard we j could not afford it, although we finally managed to get her to the Martinsville baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker, and it seemed that she could not stand it, but she beenme better, and it seemed that she was being benefited, but she suddenly grew worse, and we had to bring her home. "She lingered along, and last winter.be came worse again, and was afflicted with a I nervous trouble almost like the St. Vitus' dance. For some time we thought she would die, and the physieinns gave her up. When she was at her worst a neighbor came in with a box of Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Pale People and wanted us to try thern as they were advertised to bo good for suoh oases, and her daughter had used thorn for nervousness with such good results that she thought they might help Mabel. "We tried them. The first box helped her some, and after she had taken three boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When she had finished a half dozen boxes she was j able to be out and about, she has taken about nine boxes altogether now. and she is as well as ever, and going to school every day, having started in again three j weeks ago.
