Baltimore American: Men all over the country, irrespective of clataj or creed, will brighten up with eager an ticipation when they hear that a woman minister lateiy announced ' at n organization meeting that aome, of the methods used by women in raisin fun'is for 'Church purpose are .open to criticism. For the feminine charity or church financier is dreadful through out the land, though her system of social brigandage has been meekly submitted to as tyranny, resistance to which is hopeless. ' - Philadelphia Lodger: Dr. Ralnaford Is by no mean the first man to hold that , bad cooking .Is responsible for many of the sfn that men commit. It is well Known that a disordered stomach "has a corresponding effect on the brain, causing men to hold views and to commit deed which they would ihwk only of with horror under normal conditions; but this class of missionary work, as U really is, has been much neglected by reformers in the past. They are giving it more attention now, and the cooking schools, despite the ridicule shrtaped upon them by the comic writers, are doing good work to ward raising the general average of American cooking.

For five years they give themselves up to ministering to the alck. taking care of the poor and to other kindly deed. In the Bid days almost every Methodist "sister wi a deaconnews without the form of ordi nation. The .women of that church fifiy years ago were powerful in ex hortation and prayeT and instant' in good works. They were required by the "discipline" to pay so little attri tion to their Hut be, and to other van ities of life that they had more time than the women of the period can find to devote to other people. If the Methodists have borrowed the Idea of deacon neeses from some other denom ination there are a few churches which have not borrowed something from the Methodists. Personal and Otbarwlaa.

"You remember the chestnut bell, of course?" auid the man who hud got out of Chicago with only the loss of one of his aiioe heels. "Well, 1 was greatly taken with it at the time, and when I set out to visit my old home in Michigan I bought a dozen bells to take aloug. Nobody in the town had beard of them, but I hadn't worn one over a day when the people caught on and I was fairly IxsMieged. When Sun day came I prepared to attend church like a dutiful son, and at the proper time mother and I were seated in lief pew. JuM, what the text wan I can't remember, but the minister had scarcely announced it when six of my cbetttnut bells Hounded among the con gregation. -The good mail. difJult minil them in the least, but went ahead with his work, lie was rung up on his hymn, and lie was' run up every minute or two on his sermon, and though there was something amusing about it, I was alo balf-wcared out of my boots. As I had brought the bells to town I didn't know but what he'd hold me reBimnsibre, and 0en out oa me. About the middle of his sermon tie said something about .lonab, and eleven of those bells went 't-i-n-g!' on him in siicceHsirvn. lie stopped, and looked around, and then calmly Raid: ' 'Will those people who are jingling keys kindly jingle a little softer?' "1 ww thankful to get out. of that phurch without a calamity," continued the bell mnn, "and I didn't do any la-jghing till th next day. Then it was becamie I learned thnt every blewsed man who had rung up the minister was seriously earnest about it and felt it a sort of duty, and bemuse that minister himself called at the bouse and accepted my own bell and rung it upon mother within fiv minutes!"

There la. a certain editor in New York with whom the power of the daily press is such a hobby that he raised the salary of a sub-editor who suggested a "Sunday special" on Famous Graduate of the Reporters' Room, and at once assigned bis best dresued reporter to interview leading authors along this line, - -- It happened that Mark Twain was In New York, and the editor counted m him as a striking exmpWoi.'- the literary value of newspaper training. The reporter was ordered to spare no space for the interview. Yet when the article appeared Mr.- " Clemen's name was consplcaou3ly absent. It was-this way : Mr. Clemens received the reporter nith his customary urbanity, though he shrugged his shoulders when he learned wiiat paper the young man represented, as usual Mr. Clemens was a most elusive man to pin down in an interview, but at last the re porter gathered his wits and asked the question which he meant should point his article. "Mr. Twain," he asked, "to what one thing most of all do you owe your marvelous success in literature?" He had counted on "my newspaper train ing" as the answer. The famous numorist half shut his eyes,' thought a few moments in sil ence, and then said decisively: "To the fact that when I was young and very ambitious I lost my job.

The home department of the govern meat of India has one sphere of activ Ity to which nothing analogous , caHKl tie oun. in tins country-nameiy w destruction of wild beasts and polBOn- ous snakes. During 1899 the number nurine- IKM the number ol deaths among human, beings attri buted to wild animals was U.Stiti. For tunately, however, the number is be low the Average of the last fouryeais and much lower than the number reported in 1897. In 1899 tigers caused, the death of 899, wolves of 3::S and leopards of 237 human beings, while bears, elephants, hyenas, jacka s and crocodiles were accountable for a large proportion of the remainder, says the London Times. .The tiger ia moat destructive In Ben gal, about half of the whole number of victims of fhis animal being re ported from that province. Maneuv ers have especially troubled certain districts, and liberal reward have been offered for their destruction. In the Bhamo district of Upper Burmah a single man-eating tiger kilted about twenty persona. A special reward of 100 roupees was paid for Its destruc tion. . More than half of the deaths from leopard. occurred in Bengal, while more than three-fourths of those from wolvee ' occurred la tbe northwestern - provinces and Oudh. Special measures were taken to hunt down a particularly destructive pack near Cawnpttr. High rewards were ottered and hunting parties organized, but without, much success. The loss of human' life from snakp reached the hleh total of 24.621. a greater mortality than In any one of the four preceding years. Nearly half the death, occurred in Bengal, whiles the northwestern provinces and Oudh came next with nearly otie-fourth of the total. In Bengal the relatively high mortality is attributed to floods, which drove the snakes to the. , high lands on which village . homesteads are built. As will be observed, snakes are more destructive of human life than are the wild animals, but the re verse is tf'e of the destruction of cattle. In 18!)9 no fewer than 89,2.18 rattle wpre destroyed by wild animals, and 9.449 by snakes. Of the former. 37,98 fell victims to leopards, and 34.321. to tigers. The leopard Is even more destructive to cattle than the tiger in Bengal. This province is tbe greatest sufferer from the ravage of wild animals and snakes, its loss be ing 3u,5?,9 cattle. Assam lost 17.000, Madias 13.592. Burmah 11.016, and the centval provinces 11.689. The number of wild animals ; de stroyed was 18.887. and the amount paid for their destruction was 107 .476 rupees. The number of snakes killed ww 94 548, and the rewards paid for this service amounted to 4,151 rupees. . i To H and to Hold.

When I was a Farmer There is in nearly all women an In stinct which make them long for a home of their own, and hundreds of working women who now suffer the restraints and discomforts of cheap boarding houses would become home makers if they knew how. This sketch is the experience of one woman who made for herself a home in the country and is prepared now to give the pleas ure and disadvantages of housekeep ing. The house was an old fashioned one nearly falling apart inwardly, but the typical New England cottage out wardly painted white with green blinds. It was very oTd7anrdTd not bearits years easily. It was an hour's ride from Boston, and in the countriest of country. Its appearance was not pleasant to eyes accustomed to city trimmers, so I kept from looking with in and instead looked out where. the Atlantic was to be seen in Its glory, wearing a new dress from hour to hour. The sunlight poured Into the rooms and brightened all the dark pla.es, and sweetened them, too. There was need of It, as the former inhabitants had not been up to date on hygienic appliances. The cellar was hung with mould in white, curtains so thick was It. One might suppose it a shrine rained to the worship of rheumatism. When the man came to help roe get into living trim as he went into the cellar he remarked, "My God, what a cellar!" To my rebuke he calmly re plied, "The man who wouldn't swear when he saw - such a cellar as that .yypu.ldn't have 'the 'soul of a man." These', were chief among the evils of the.'hpuse, and ahe dampness mat tered little during the season that everyone lived out of doors, but it was te one evil tha finally drove me back to city living. The house had a great (leal of old llKBVaMi: .furniture', which properly J " - .! , . . ... A ma tha, WW u.- ,oe ueiguuv.. . I had to leave It In my rooms.and I pitied them that they could not see how much in keeping house and fur niture were, and how utterly out of place would modern furniture of the kind beloved for best in country towns be in that old house. The piano, pic tures, books, and little things that I have collected during various -roaming made modernllity enough. I ' had; no best room. " ' :j " 'A - The Bitting room was an ideal of homey comfort. There was a fire place big enough to take in an immense stick and la-It a fire every week but two whlle i was In the house, I am a nat ural . lire worshipper. I found the crane and had It put in tbe hooks waiting for It, and by rummaging in the attic I came across the pot hooks to go on the crane, and put them on it and swung my kettles there. I cooked a dinner once a la Pilgrim mother, and then returned thanks that I was a later day dweller in the land. ,. In the sitting room wa a quaint writing desk on spindle legs, the doors ornamented with old-time pictures and a long-gone-by. map of Greece was the observed of countries. " A- beautiful grand mahogany table so heavy that I ppuld not move it, was In the center of the room, and on It were boohs and papers, but by it I sat and read, or "dreamed dreams and saw them realized In the coals, while the piano in' the corner seemed a quiet friend, ready when called upon to be responsive to my dreams. When I began'iny.; housekeeping the (npTe' 4res were In bud, and soon on either side of myjfiont door was a j-rab apple tree ghirious in cover ol White, it No .'"bride f ever looked more bridal than my trees, giving fragrance r'wltb every breath of air, and drawing tbe beei from all around and life was full of beauty. Mine is the richer to day for the gift of then. - The maid did not tarry with me long. She could not bear the loneli ness, and ,afM.fcr departure I lived alone for several, weeks when the vil lage teacdaer ame to share my lot and we had a- practical trial of co-operation in work and money. This Is where the experience becomes valuable to others. We had,' all the W'ork to do ourselves, which wa rather hard on one whose housekeeping had always been .-inure nn' theory than In practice. Until I planned it otherwise the only water supply was In a weil fifiy feel deep, drawn up b s 'w'heel,' That was Out of possible us tor nnj hot born to hard labor. I Itud barrels placed In the kitchen, connected with each other and fauceted, a lid these gave water enough for all housekeeping purposes, and saved having to go out of doors in a storm for every bit of water. It Is something wonderful how hard women make life for themselves in the country where there I no need of It. There were three acres and one-half of land belonging to the house. Half of this was woodlapd, and the rest was an apple orchard with sowe apace for a garden. The placs whs greatly run down. There was tha remain l what had once been n extensive raspberry patch, and chtirlea, STapas, currant?, and pears were On the ground. It was fruit year when 1 became a farmer, so I tasted the Joys of harvest. Apples were so many that they were not worth gathering If olM Imd to hire tbe work done, and it whs almost Impossible to hire a man todWVaythlng. They pre ferred to go to "th "tore "there was but one-and ; about -how hard times were, and how a man couldn't get anything to rtn, My apples served me as gifts," and tho puddings, dump lings, sauce, but niosl of all in Jelly. Made a bushel of apples Into Jelly and had crab .apple beside those to can, nr..'. turn Into Jelly.'. To live in the country and rio hav a garden seems out of keeping. 8o 1 determined to have one. What I didn't know about farming would havt- ma do quit s a library. I know more iwv, be cause I made mine nearly all mjw'f The farmer who ploughed it It never had been ploughed before said It was so full of tansy that nothing else would grow there and he also said that under those circumstances he should not do anything more to it, wMtini? his time and my money, so aa a gardun I must have 1 went at it. I pta.uf.ed r dozen tomato plants, beans, puis c cucumbers, squash, kttuce and t.ul--lanes, J. 'planted my. . corn la .a et place and my peas in a dr tpniadurr by experience that that wis just th.f opposite of what I ought t hiva done. My corn assumed an arr f mel ancholy and showed that geUOa-j- 313 feet wet did not agree with It. Kven the crows scorned to visit it. The pe-aa grew and so did everything eJaCj but the lettuce which was overshadowed by the tomatoes, aand the s.j-iaHli, which never came up. The beans grew as if they knew they were encouraging; a beginner.; I had vegetables to giva away and more than I wanted to eat. I made a bushel pf cucumbsr ptskles from the cucumber vines, put up sev eral quarts of tomatoes and had about half a peck of green tomato oicl'.les. If you want to know how to get a mast delicious flavor . to your preserved things, let them be fruits of your drat garden. -.' '! : . 1 There were black heart and white heart, cherries, and both trees loaded. Of the latter I sold eight quarts, and put up as many more. I had tbem al ways ready during their season to offer friends. Of forty-two quarts of ra-sprriesi most of them were sold or given away. I had currant and raspberry jelly, and of the thimble berries mad a a jelly which had an" exquisite flavor. 1 think thimble berries are not as welt known jn this way as they deserve. I canned a J"ew quarts, but they are so full of seeds" that they are better worth .mak ing into jelly than using arty other way. My pears were few and serve! me as dessert, only. The yvild and cultivated grapes which were to be had ia quan--tity served as a fruit for the table, aa grape juice, "jelly, spiced grapes t and marmalade. ' ' ; Did it ' pay to be a farm? Tes, whether one counts in money or health. Bent five dollars a uiuntli. which, shared by two made very listit weight. So much of our living came from our own raising that even when ftres be ban to make the reckoning heavier our expenses each were ner over eight dollars a month. We lived near enough to the city to go back , and forth every day, if wa cared to da so. It takes no more fire to warm two than one, no more light for two tnan-one. and the rent Is the same whether one or more are in the house. --Jiear every city, that Is, near enough in make it possible to get back and forth ara houses which can be hired for as little as a room in the city. Fare on tha roads do not bring up the prices either. Let four girls or more hire such a place and they will have aa object les-. son on home management aad homo comfort that will insure fir young women who will not go' to boarding should they marry, but wilt make, homes. There is no sucli center of safety in the world, for man or woman, as a happy home, and she who makes one is a public benefactor. Of the possibilities on a sola!! farm open to a woman without much, strength, I have not spoken because I have not personally tried them. 1 knewt my farming must be brief and there fore failed to go Into some line that X should were I to b eestablished perma nently. I know women who have mad bees, hens, small fruits and flowers pey well, they seem no more capabla than other women.
