Sweden spends $15,000,000 a year in coal and has 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 elec trical horsepower going to waste. The government is thinking about utilizing some of it. California's state flower is the golden poppy, and one of the professors at Stanford university has published a book devoted exclusively to the flower and its legendary history. The skin of the musk ox, which is a denizen of the "Barren Grounds" and the arctic region of Canada, lias taken the place of that of the extinct buf falo for sleigh robes. It varies in price from SSO to as low as $5 for a poor ar ticle. The industrial depression in Germany is reaching serious proportions. Em ployment agencies are deluged with ap plicants. From the mining regions come reports of numerous dismissals and reduced work. The same is true iu Iron and steel work. Gigantic water power developments are projected in the Alps. There are now iu the French Alps forty-eight fac tories supplied by 250,000 horsepower, electrically generated. Engineers esti mate that 3,000,(MX) horsepower is now running to waste iu the Alps. The royal library at Windsor castle is about to be enlarged by the inclusion of a room adjoining hitherto used by the lord in waiting. This will enable many thousands more volumes to be added to the hundred thousand valu able works now on the shelves. So great has become the demand for American coal in Europe that it has been decided to build an immense re ceiving station for unloading, screening and grading coal in northern France. Rates have been made on French roads which will drive German coul out of central Europe. Dr. Bizarro of Gorz has published a pamphlet in which lie tries to prove that, the Adriatic has for more than a thousand years been rising and en croaching on its shores. The lowest parts of Trlest are experiencing trou ble already, and in course of time Ven ice will be buried in the mud of the la goon. It is reported from the City of Mex ico that Senor Sabine Osuna has in vented an ingenious ami yet seemingly very simple alTair styled the "Contador Rapido Siglo XX" (twentieth century rapid calculator). The apparatus, which resembles the ancient Chinese counting machine, is for the purpose of rapid computation. New York state has more cows than Pennsylvania and New Jersey com bined and more than any other one state in the Union, lowa being second, Illinois third and Wisconsin fourth. The entire number of cows in the states and territories in the exact census lig ures is 10,202,300, with a total valua tion of $514,812,100. The beaver, the staple fur of the French regime, Is now becoming scarce and Its price varies greatly according to fashion. Even the skin of the in offensive rabbit lias now a positive market value, as it is dressed, clipped and dyed a deep brown, almost black, and then becomes what is called "elec tric seal," much in vogue for l&fl'vs' jackets. The trees now growing on the farm near Franklin, N. 11., where Duuiel Webster was born are to be cut up Into friction matches, a manufacturing company having paid $2,800 for the ytuuding timber upon it. The legisla ture of New Hampshire refused at its last session to pay $3,000 for the en tire farm, though many patriotic citi zens of the state petitioned to have it preserved as a perpetual memorial of New Hampshire's great son. An exciting scene was witnessed in the Romita ring during a bull tight on bicycles. Two of the cliulos placed the bandorillos, or short stabbing sticks, into the necks of the bulls. When the second bull entered the ring. Jose Ba surto, maneuvering ids bicycle clever ly, placed the sticks with great daring, while his comrade coolly sat on his wheel, which was propped to stund upright iu the ring. Luckily the bull paid no attention to liiui. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the //V/! Signature of CJ<C4C*U4/. MEMBER OF SPANISH ORDER Special Honor That Wnx Conferred on Mr*. I<l. Ilurd <*rulb. One at tlie most admired of New Jersey matrons is Mrs. E. Burd Grubb. Mrs. Grubb is a very beautiful woman and before her marriage was Miss Vio let Sopwitli of Loudon. General Grubb, her husband, was minister to Spain un der the Harrison administration, and the queen of Spain appointed her a member of the Order of Noble Ladles MliS. E. BUIID GIIUBII. of Maria Louisa. She also presented to her the very beautiful decoration of the order, which is of gold and beauti fully enameled. The Order of Maria Louisa Is a very exclusive one, vacancies having to be made by death. JSlio is the only woman of this republic who has been fortunate enough to receive this coveted decora tion. Women Climber*. Mountain climbing is one of tlie pas times in which women of tlie present day take a keen enjoyment, although it is always fatiguing and oftentimes at tended witli danger. To be a good mountain climber one must possess strong will power, Arm footing, a steady head and a sound heart. Among the women who have attained distinc tion as mountain climbers are several of royal birth, such as the late em press of Austria, ex-Queen Margher'ta of Italy and Queen Helene of Italy. Frau Aurora llerzborg of Bavaria is one of the most enthusiastic of moun tain climbers and celebrated her sev entieth birthday by climbing a moun tain of considerable height. Queen Helene of Italy is a skillful nioiiutain climber and in her girlhood often accompanied her father and brother on mountain expeditions in Montenegro in pursuit of game. Tlie usual dress of the woman rnouu- ( tain climber is a very short clotli skirt, with coat and small Tyrolese hat. A number of English women have proved themselves as courageous and skillful as their continental sisters in mountain climbing, and American wo men have shown also that they possess tlie requisite qualities for successfully ascending mountain peaks.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. lllnt* For Home DreMMtiiaklnn - . Without much labor or expense ready made skirts, elaborately tucked and Intersected with guipure or nleneon in sertion lace, with sufficient material for the bodice, may lie obtained at a reasonable price in an endless variety of designs suitable for fashionable promenade or evening wear and only need a small amount of experience to put together, as nearly all the newest , designs In gowns of this description ! have the lining foundation of silk or sateen made separate, the collar of which may be varied from time to time. Bought skirts of this kind are, as a rule, somewhat full round the hem, so that the silk foundation will have to be In seven breadths—that is. a front, two side pieces each side and two backs, and, whatever the length of front may be, the center of the back seam must measure five Inches longer, or. if it is to be of cotton, six widths will be sufficient. And, should the ready made skirt be too short, narrow frills of lace or glace silk might be sewed on to the separate foundation. Woman Knlßlit Errant. The United States is to receive a vis- It this winter from Princess Ilairie Ben Ayad, who has created a stir in England by her crusade against social conditions in Turkey. The princess, who is a ilaughter of a former Turkish minister to France, hopes to eradicate polygamy In Turkey by organizing a movement against it from the outside. Iler lectures in London have been crowded, and she lias become a fad with society there, says the Chicago Tribune. She lias a beautiful and re fined face, unlike the usual heavy type of the east, and carries herself in a re gal way. Iler husband, who was sen tenced to prison for espousing the cause of the deposed sultan, Morad, but escaped, is with her in London. When out driving, she wears a heavy veil over her face, according to Turk ish custom. Frenchwomen Who Smoke. The wonrwii of France, says tlie Mont real Herald, are fast falling Into the smoking habit. I mleod among the high er classes Indulgence in tlie narcotic has become almost universal. There • woman of fashion no longer ayolo- gizos to her guests for light lug a ciga rette after dinner, and even as an ac companiment to 5 o'clock tea a gold en tipped Egyptian cigarette is fre quently indulged in by fair Parisi onni's. Russian ladies who inhabit the capital are largely responsible for the growing taste for tobacco among the grnndes dames of Paris. It is interest ing to hear that at the leading coutu rieres boxes of fragrant, cigarettes are kept in stock to help ma da me to pass the time agreeably while being fitted. In (Jerinany feminine emancipation is nut sufficiently advanced to make the practice of smoking among ladies very prevalent. In certain circles and the smart restaurants, however, many wo men may be seen with cigarettes and even cigars. Among the middle and working classes It is safe to say that scarcely a woman would think of smok ing except for fun. Rut there is one class of feminine society that greatly affects the cigarette, and that is fimin clai ladies engaged In speculation. Montr on I'N Gift to the Duchess. The jewel which was presented to her royal highness the Duchess of Cornwall and York as a souvenir of her visit to Montreal is as beautiful as it is typical of Canada. The jewel con sists of a diamond spray or corsage pin of six maple leaves, mounted with diamonds. No two of the maple leaves t are alike in form and color. They are i of solid eighteen carat gold, beiuiti | fully enameled in delicate tones. There are :IG2 carefully selected white dia monds, and at the end of the stem is set a perfectly shaped Canadian pearl weighing no less than twenty grains. The whole jewel is of native Canadian gold and workmanship. The jewel was inclosed in a handsome silver casket bearing an inscription and the arms of the city of Montreal. —Toronto Globe. Schools For Washerwomen. A washerwoman's school for laundry work was recently opened in New York city by the Charity Organization soci ety. The course consists of twelve daily lessous. The instructors teach tlieiu the best methods for cleaning dif ferent fabrics and exercise supervision until the woman receives a certificate. Just such a department has the Me chanics' institute of Rochester. In fact, the city docs not realize what a school within schools is in tlds superior and extensive institution that is coming to lie a pride to Rochester. The laundry department is equipped with most mod ern machinery, with the most helpful apparatus, such as is found in homes and in business establishments and by which womeu may learn to become pro ficient in the trade. Sensible Clothing. How broad ahd strong are tlie sen sible shoes now worn by schoolgirls! No wise mother will attempt to com press either the waist line or the foot of her little daughter. Little girls should be "expansionists" and have full chance to acquire the capital of health and strength upon which they must draw in adult life. A "skin tight" dress Is a mistake, even if the little maid has a thick waist. It is a shame to put stays or tight underclothing on a girl before she is fourteen years old, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. She is really a child and should enjoy a child's privi lege of wearing loose, warm, light cloth ing which does not interfere with her movements. Women Sign Painter*. Sign painting is added to the list of trades practiced by women In Berlin. Women sign painters undergo a reg ular apprenticeship. They are taught how to use the brush and to mix paints. Gymnastic training is care fully gone into before they are allowed to ascend the scaffolding, so that they may not loose their nerve in standing 011 the ladder. They wear the gray linen frock and cap which are the house painter's badge us well us his defense against paint. A Spoon For the Itnhy. A pretty spoon intended as a gift to an infant has a gold bowl with a. baby head engraved on it. The design of the handle is delicately ornamental. With the spoon the donor sent a bit of charm ing verse, found in a scrapbook of un identified clippings, supposed to be voiced by the spoon to the baby, one sentiment being the avowed purpose of the former to watch closely when its bowl should be in the little pink mouth of the baby for the first tooth.

Minister Wu Ting Tang is of the opinion that American girls are too particular about whom they marry. lie thinks their tendency to dismiss early admirers who are not to their liking a very grievous error. "Woman," he says, "ought to marry. That is what she is made for. Chinese girls are dif ferent. Few of them remain single." Mine. Grand In America. Mine.
