Ashby of London, who has been in tills country a little more than a year, a part of that time inves tigating the child labor problem In the j south under a commission from the ; American Federation of Labor, lins i Just sailed for homo to attend ber own wedding. As a friend of the London IBELYEM.ARHBY. working girls Miss Ashby has achieved ; international fame. She is going to marry Alfred N. Macfadyen, a member of the British civil service force, who volunteered for duty in South Africa. Miss Ashby received the young man's proposal by mall some weeks ago while in this country, and the return mail bore the waiting lover a favorable an swer. Fortunate Twentieth Century Girl. It Is indeed a good time for girls to live, and I think they should realize by whose efforts it became the "good time." Do they ever think what wom en and girls had to contend with before this time dawned upon the world and , how much they owe to some of these same women? • Just think of it! The women bread winners of the United States, by the re port of the last census, count away up into the millions, and It is not so very long ago when not only the Industrial avgnues, but those of education as well, were closed to girls. Think of their lack of opportunity even half a century ! ago and contrast It with the present, j What were the possibilities of educa j tlon? Unless she happened to be the daughter of a family who believed in advance of tho age that a girl had the brain and ability to learn ami that edu i cation would not spoil her or make less of a woman of her and a family could i afford to give her private masters she | bud to be content with the merest com | mon school education, less even than ! children got now in the lower grades of the grammar schools, and even that I was grudgingly bestowed upon them.- ! Sallie Joy White in Woman's Home Companion. Where to Wear a Watch. That watches should be get-at-able— I that Is, worn in a place where coats, ; buttons and tapes need not be undone : nor pulled asunder to probe them from I some remote region—has long been the I desideratum of women, and now that j the problem Is solved many will rejoice. I The neck, some clever one has thought, Is quite as secure a hiding place for a watch as the waist. It is also worn more uncovered in these days of open coat fronts and bodices buttoned up below the chest. Many watches, there fore, are now simply dropped down un der the stock collar, and that they may not fall too far below it they art? at tached to a short, heavy gold chain, | perhaps live or six inches long. The New Craxe. i It has been said that it is the trifles ; nowadays which make or mar one's • make up, so to speak, so to give a girl a : present of some of the well nigh Innu merable odds and ends that are added j to the toilet either in the way of clasps, belts, laces, necklets, linir ornaments, hatpins or what not Is to be on the safe side. But who would dream of pre ! senting a walking stick? Yet It Is Just 1 this which at the present moment Is | most acceptable to the smart girl. A | while later it will go, of course, but for j the time being there is a little craze for green walking sticks with very fauciful | —Jeweled, for choice, Is goes without saying -heads. Women Are Bent TnnKlit by Women. Womanly graces of mind and heart are best taught by women. Nothing can make up for the lack of early mother love and mother en re In a girl's j life. The motherless daughter knows this too well. It Is much the same In schools and colleges. Girls need the Inspiration of a high type of woman hood always. They should have It before them at college, and they should also have while away from home tho Intelligent guardianship and guidance ' of woman Instructors who command both love and respect.—Ada G. Sweet in Woman's Home Companion. To Purify Water. 1 To avoid infection from typhoid fever i germs in drinking water during sum mer journeys or in country hotels or boarding houses Mrs. Ellen 11. Rich ards of the domestic science depart ment of the Boston Institute of Tech nology advises her pupils to carry with : them small vials of crystals of permnn ; ganate of potash. This, she says, should , be added In small quantities to the glass of drinking water In hotels, on , railroads, at the spring, well, etc. The i water, after the germicide has done its 'wwortk t will be of a pinkish color.

A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve colic by exjjelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers, break up colds and clear the coated tongue.

Burning purullln j may be almost Instantly quenched by throwing flour upon it. If food is cook ed In earthenware, the flavor is pre served better than when Iron vessels are used. Pies, etc., moistened with milk just before they are put Into the j oven bake a nice brown. Blood stains should be treated with cold water. Sometimes a paste of flour and water j will remove small spots and make further treatment needless. Scrape the | paste off when dry. Ink spots on cloth, | even when old, will give way to re peated washings, first in melted tallow, j then in hot water. This is a far better } remedy than salts of lemon, etc., and | It never eats the material as salts some- ' times do. For mildew, try dipping the , articles in sour milk, laying them in j the sun and after they are white rins- ; Ing them In clean water. For scorch- ' 6d places, wet with water and lay them in the sun. Tar and wagon grease should he treated by having a clean cloth folded upon them, benzine pour ed on them, then rub with a clean cloth.

The great point with any furniture, Chippendale or otherwise, with regard to polish, is to apply the latter as thin- 1 ly and lightly as possible and then rub j it up till no trace of the polish is any- j where discoverable. Unless this is 1 done the furniture will always be ! sticky, attracting dust In the most ex- ! asperating fashion and showing every | linger mark. This is one of the most dlliioult things to impress on house- | inaids, as they will persist In believing j that the more polish they apply and the | thicker they put it oil the better will lie the effect, yet in reality the exact | opposite is the case. Housewives for- J inorly used nothing but turpentine and \ beeswax, with an Infinity of elbow grease, and it is to the latter ingredient that the brilliant polish of old furni ture was chiefly due. If the old oak is dirty, try this: Boil together half a gallon of beer, a half ounce of beeswax and a tnblespoonful of sugar. Apply this with a brush and when dry polish thoroughly with clean cloths. To Serve bettore Cooked. A savory way of serving lettuce is to boil three heads in a little water for | three minutes, take them out of the saucepan and drain off the moisture, , put into u stewpan some bacon rind 1 and a small lump of butter, sprinkle the lettuce with salt, pepper and a little I flour and lay it In a pan and put the cover on and let it simmer for two hours very gently, turning the contents at short Intervals. Ilave ready some peas plainly boiled until very tender, put them in a hot vegetable dish, cut ' up the lettuce and pour it over the peas; also the liquor from which the bacon rind lias been removed.—Ex change. I ii |aild Account* Drove n Wnmnn to Suicide. Not so very long ago a woman threw herself before a New York elevated ; train and was instantly killed. Her sis- I ter testified afterward that she was a "fashionable" dressmaker and had over $13,000 worth of outstanding accounts which she could not collect. The people from whom she bought her goods were persistently asking for their money, but she could not pay them because her customers did not pay her for her work. It so preyed upon her mind that after weeks of sleepless nights she de termined to kill herself. And she did.— Ladies' Home Journal. lee cream soda at Helper's. CASTOTIIA.

Of these 540 were east in Scott county, which includes the city of Davenport, with a considerable Gorman popula tion. The vote for Woolloy, Frohibi i tionlst, in Scott, county was only 00. So far as the British regular army is concerned there are ten battalions I the men of which wear kilts. In addi | tion to these there are several vol tin | teer battalions in Great Britain and a i few others outside the United King ! dom, such as the Cape highlnndcrs and the Forty-eighth Highlanders of Turon | to, Canada. | The historic plains of Abraham, near Montreal, have been appraised by an I expert in the pay of the Dominion gov ernment. He declares the land to be J worth $137,000 as real estate. The ! Ursulitie nuns, who own the land, offer to sell for $30,000 if the government will give them another piece of prop erty worth $30,000. Grape fruit Is no longer a luxury for the rlcli alone. The market for it has widened materially, ami its culture is growing rapidly in Florida, particular- I ly on the Indian river and along the j Florida East Coast railroad. The fruit j is grown on the same kind of hind as i oranges and is eared for, harvested and packed in the same manner. One-sixth of the entire area of Colo rado is excluded from the application of the homestead law, according to nt : torneys and land agents. Colorado Is j recognized by many as one of the most ! desirable states in which to locate, but investigation shows that government | land in a large part of the state can be taken up only through the desert land i act, as mineral or under the timber and stone act.

Esthoninn mothers attach hits of the evil smelling asafetida to the necks of their offspring. Roumanian mothers tit? red ribbons around the ankles of their children to keep them from harm. Among Vosges peasants children horn at new moon are supposed to have a sharper tongue than those born | under the hist quarter. Welsh mothers, to Insure the safety of their babies, put a pair of tongs or si i knife in the cradle. In some parts of England the same practice prevails. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Six shirt waists should moot the re quirements of most careful girls. To have n sulllrlent stock of blouses to be able to ring the changes in rou tine lengthens the life of each one con siderably. Therefore two of gingham, two of plain silk for afternoon wear and one or two of smarter nature for parties would not be too many, while, needless to say, the more the better.
