SHE BUYS CATTLE Mrs. Ollie Northlane is fairly "the rattle queen of the West." In her unique vocation of cattle buyer she has, Indeed, proved the theory of woman suffragists, (hat the gentler sex is admirably capable of plunging into the business world on an equal footing with man. It is said by stockmen that she Is one of the most capable Judges of cattle and hogs In the United States. She has the quotations at her tongue's end. By glancing at a consignment of cattle she can tell very closely what they should bring when shipped to market. In deciding on the relative value of stock Mrs. Northlane can pick out a good steer as quickly and accurately as the average woman can select a new Raster gown. In busi ness transactions Mrs. Northlane pos sesses unusual wisdom to cope with trying business situations, and is as shrewd and clever to trade with as often falls to the lot of man to meet with. Besides the high reputation she has gained in the stock business, she has talent enough left to make a success in various other and finer lines. She Is an expert telegraph operator, an ac complished musician and a line lin guist. She converses freely in Ger man, French, Scandinavian and Bohe mian. In personal appearance Mrs. North lane has much to be desired. She is r courses in agriculture. But the lat ter are being developed as never be fore. The agricultural papers tell of the Improvements in combining prac tical with theoretical knowledge. There was mention some weeks ago in one of them of the demand for univer sity educated farmers for responsible positions In experiment stations and also on large ranches, whose managers appreciate the advantages of scientific agriculture. One evidence of this grow ing Interest is found at the I'niversity at Missouri. That institution offered a summer course for teachers and the attendance has exceeded the expecta tions of the most sanguine. In sev eral counties in Missouri agriculture has been made a part of the public schools' courses and is treated in the same manner as other studies. It is receiving as much attention as math ematics end will be made a require ment. and no pupil is Judged thor oughly equipped without a knowledge of modern methods of agriculture. That teachers may be fitted to give such instruction the Missouri Normal NOSE TELLS ALL. It* Shape Indicate* Your Character— The Noar* of Fighters. Physiognomists go so far as to assert that the nose Is the key to the man's character, the Index to his brain. And so many people—great employers among them—share the belief that It is almost as luc»y for a child to be born with a good nose on its face as with tht proverbial spoon in its mouth. There are noses and noses, even among the good specimens. There is the artistic nose (literary men and painters have it); the "constructive" nose peculiar to architects and engi neers, and not the least important Is one labeled by physiognomists "com bative and organizing." This might also be called the military nose. It belongs to great commanders on sea and land, and is so prominent that It can not be mistaken. Wellington had it to an abnormal degree. In this us in other respects he has never been equaled by any other soldier. Welling ton was a great believer In noses. Na poleon also admired a good nose, and was personally well endowed in that, particular, but nothing like to the same extent as his vanquisher at Waterloo. Both are said to have chosen their men for important posi tions by the size and shape of their noses. In short, Wellington and Na poleon, for professional purposes, practiced physiognomy, which was a crime in tha days of Elizabeth, when "all persons faynlng to have knowl edge of Phyislognomle or like Fan tastical Imaginaclons" rendered them selves liable to all manner of perils. 1 JUDGING STKKKS IN A 8TOCK YAItl). n striking little woman of about five feet in height. She is a decided blonde with a wealth of golden hair, which she always arranges In a fluffy manner about her rather small face. Her face and manner are always bright and pleasing. She is witty and vivacious, quick at repartee, and is never at a loss to hold her own among the best In the profession. Her grace of man ner, choice language and generally pleasing demeanor quickly win for her friends, which she numbers among the hundreds. When not on the road for a large Western commission house she spends her time quietly at her pretty home at Sioux City, la. When not profession ally employed, she is a woman among women, and none of the coarseness of her profession enters Into her charm ing personality in her quiet home life. Agricultural Kdurutlon.

Mrs. Thereat Lynch, known in New York city and the cast generally as the ‘ Queen of Diamonds,” was in court the other day, and It then became known that for fifteen years she has not ex changed a word with her husband. Mrs. Lynch Is one of the best Judges of diamonds In America, and is several times a millionaire by trading in the gems. AN EXPERT TELEGRAPH OPERA TOR. Even in these days we have the fight ing nose at the front where, of ] course, it should be. The finest speel j men is the property of Gen. Keliy Kenny. It is quite YVellingtonlan and | gives ooints to Napoleon. With sucv a nose Gen. Kelly-Kenny ought to go j far. From his nose the physiognomist ; would tell you that Gen. French is I possessed of determination and perse verance. The same expert would prob i ably describe Gen. Sir Redvers Buller’s nose as that of a "plodder,” while, ac cording to Aristotle, who, versatile man! professed some knowledge of J physiognomy, Lord Kitchener is "in sensitive.” Of all the Boer command ants in the field, Louts Botha is the only one whose nose is of the military model. Notwithstanding the reverses he has suffered, he is generally cred ited with being a very aide soldier. Lord Roberts—what of his nose? It must be confessed that it is not of the fighting stamp. The "face reader" would say that its owner possessed great artistic Instinct. Quite right! Ixtrd Roberts is an artist—an artist in war.—London Mail. EARL’S ELDEST SON. l4>r«l Haddo Will Never ret the Mver on l'lr«.

It will be remembered, was governor of Canada and Lady Aberdeen there, as over here, look an energetic part in temperance and other social reform work. Both laird and Lady Aberdeen have brains, and know how to use them, but to all appearances young Isirri Haddo, the heir to the earldom, will set no river ulire, even though It be made of more inflammable material than the Thames. When Aberdeen was in Can ada he sent lx>rd Haddo across to Prance in »barge of a French tutor. The two were to cycle together through the most glorious districts of France, to see the scenery and instruct themselves in the customs and lan guages of the country, and all that Well, the unfortunate tutor was driven almost to despair before he could bid good-bye to the wheel and take to a transatlantic liner again.

This comes on the heels of one restricting that emigration consider ably. This action will be a great re lief to the Canadian and British au thorities and also to those of this coun try. About a year ago the Japanese began coming to British Columbia in such numbers as to alarm the people, who called on the Dominion authori ties to take steps by the imposing of a head tax or tn some other wav to stop tills intlow. This could not be done without-the assent of the British gov ernment. which neither wished to dis oblige the Canadians nor to agree to a violation of the treaties with Japan. The arrival of so many Japanese in the Pacific coast states was beginning to work on the feelings of their people There was danger of a demand on con gress for a Japanese exclusion law. Naturally the enactment of such a measure would make it hard to keep on friendly terms with Japan, whose | ting of Japanese on the same level j with Chinese Thut government has i been considerate in its action It has ! shown a desire that the present friend- ! 1y relations with the United States and j Canada shall suffer no change It is possible, also, that at this uncertain 1 moment, when it ts Impcatalble to tell < what lighting Japan may hate to do ! with China or with Itussii it Is deem ed best not to let too many able-bodied Japanese go so far away from home that they will lie unavailable for mill- I lary duty.

First Discovered I>y hii Irltlimull, John O'Reilly. Mr. John O'Reilly, who had occasion in the winter of 1867 to do business in the Hopetown District of Grlqualand West, on the other side of the V’aal river, first discovered diamonds in South Africa. He passed a night at the house of Schalk van Niekerk, a Dutch farmer. While bartering with the Boer and his wife O’Reilly’s at tention was attracted by a game the children were playing, being particu larly struck with the peculiar trans parency of one of the pebbles used in the game. Though O'Reilly had never seen a diamond in the rough he ex pressed an opinion that the pebble played with by the children was really the precious gem. The farmer ridi culed the idea, saying O'Reilly might have it If he cared for the rubbish, adding that there were plenty more >f them in the river clay O'Reilly accept ed It on the understanding that if it turned out to he a diamond the farm er should receive half the sum At ColMburg It was submitted to experts, most of whom denied It being of much value, but Dr Atherstone, of Orahatus town. pronounced It to lie a veritable diamond weighing 23*^ karats and worth I.'.*>»> The then governor of the (’ape, Mir Philip W ode house, bought it for that sum Diamonds afterwards were found In the mud waits of native huU, and this led to the opening of the dry diggings where now slant!

LEGLESS POLICEMAN TERROR TO EVIL DOERS. Klnrun, r*nusrl«wiila. a liuarillun of Whom lll« People Are .1 nelly I’rouil— Very »*w Criminal* Get Away from Him. Bereft of his fret, Charles C. Dal rymple has for sixteen years past act ed as an officer of the law in New York state and Pennsylvania. Dur ing this time he has made a remark able record that many more fortunate officers would be proud to possess. He has arrested the boldest kind of crim inals. and has never allowed one to escape the penalty of the law by gain ing their freedom. Bert Hare, a Penn sylvania hotel man, arrested on the charge of selling intoxicating liquors to minors, was the only man who ever got away from the footless officer for any length of time. Hare was giveu an opportunity to secure bondsmen, and ran away. For three weeks Officer CHARLES DALRYMPLE. Dalrymple searched for the missing hotel man, finally rearresttng him. As yet the plucky officer has never confronted a man too strong or quick to prevent his handcuffing him. Mr. Dalrymple possesses extraordinary strength, and might Justly he called a second Sandow. He is a good fighter, a trained wrestler, and has never met defeat In a cateh-as-catch can match. During his sixteen years of service Mr. Dalrymple acted as Constable of Frewsburg, a large town near .James toijyi, N. Y. About six years ago he left there and went to Kinzua, a small town in Warren county, Pa. Up was elected constable of ine town during the first year of ills residence, and still holds the office. Mr. Dalrymple last his feet Nov. 17, 1865, while trying to dismount from a rapidly moving train at Franklin. Pa. One limt) was amputated fourteen inches below the knee, the other seven Inches, Since then he has moved about on his knees with an ease anil rapid ity that is no less than remarkable. The accompanying cut shows Mr. Dal rymple In a standing attitude, Just as he appears every day on the streets. Mr. Dalrymple is a good horseman, and spends some of his time In agricultu ral pursuits. He can dismount from a carriage or a wagon with as much ease apparently as an ordinary person. Previous to the unfortunate accident at Franklin Mr. Dalrymple was a sol dier. From 1863 to 1865 he drove a team for the United States govern ment. He enlisted in the One Hun dred and Seventy-third Ohio Volun teer Infantry in 1862, and was honor ably discharged at Nushville, Tenn.. July 6, 1865. He draws a small pen sion. As a citizen Mr. Dalrymple Is also a gnat crpillt to any town. He Is honest and upright, and owns con siderable real estate. He has a wife and two children, a son. Smith, and a daughter, Lizzie, and has also cared for two adopted children, George Mack and Ina Dalrymple. Amrrlrttii M«*n Wuutetl.

A ml rap Will Try lo Outline tlie Unknown I’nrt of II. There is a part of the east coast of southern fireenland that has not yet ben visited by any explorer. Quite a number of Arctic investigators have been north and others south of it, but the region between 09 degrees and 67 degrees 22 minutes north latitude, a distance of about 100 miles, is as yet entirely unknown, A year ago this un revealed part of the coast was a good deal longer than It now Is, but Lieut. Andrup explored a part of it last year and now he will return to complete the work. Andrup Is an officer in the Dan ish royal navy. The work he was de tailed to do last year was very suc cessfully carried out. He mapped the east coast from 65 degrees 45 minutes to 67 degrees 22 minutes north lat itude. He will leave Copenhagen this month on the steamer Antarctic with three companions and his intention Is to go ashore near the sixty-ninth par allel, and will then travel south be tween the island and the coast lee. His destination is Angmagsallk (65 degrees 45 minutes), the only settle ment in east Greenland. During this Journey he will pass all along the un explored coast. While lie is on this mission a party of five nuturalistB on the Antarctic will travel north to the entrance to Scoresby sound for the purpose of studying natural history and exploring the northern fiords if the condition of the Ice permits. At the end of August the Antarctic will go to Iceland to take on a supply of coal, and then will proceed to Angmagsallk to meet I.lent. Andrup. It may be that the ice will prevent Andrup frorn reuchlng that station this fall. la this case he will have to camp where win ter overtakes him and will resume his route toward the south next year. Arctic Ice experts are very much afraid that the ice conditions will not lie favoratje this season, ami some of them predict Hint Andrup will not lie able to go as far south as Angmagaa 11k, but that he will lie compelled, like Lieut. Ryder in 1891. to winter on the bleak coast.—New York Sun. BIG SUNDAY CLASS. The Sunday School connected with St. James' Methodist Episcopal Church Chicago, is considered one of the most flourishing church institutions in the I'nlted States. The only other to bear comparison with it in perfection of working organization is that of Mr. Wanamnker at Philadelphia. The prosperous Sunday school found its be ginning in the wedding of two small schools. One of these was held at the Kenwood M. K. Church ami the other at the Washington Park M. E. Church. The small schools were having a struggle owing to their too close prox imity. It was finally resolved to unite the two. The result has proved the wisdom of the step, for the pres ent Sunday school has now a regular enrollment of 1,221. This number in cludes the cradle roll and the home de partment. The school Is divided Into departments named cradle, roll, home, kindergarten, primary, intermediate, senior and musical. Each of the de partments carries on its work Inde pendently of the other, but a eerta n harmony is maintained throughout. The fact that the primary department has a picnic is no proof that the kin dergarten will have one, but the one usually brings the other. For each department the superintendents via with each other in making his or her portion of the work as nearly perfect as possible. The social spirit Is en couraged to exist with the progte.ss along spiritual and mental lines, and i with this in view elaborate concerts i UKV. ROHKRT MrINTYKK an* k>v'«'ii at Htut'Mi Interval*.
