I Women na Farm Owners. number of vomen in the United States -who are studying agriculture grows larger every year. Nearly all agricultural departments of Western universities and colleges admit - women en on equal terms with men , and there are a number of Eastern Institutions where they are welcomed. Secretary Wilson so far approves of women as farmers that he frequently addresses classes in the Columbia Normal School , Washington , where there are forty woman pupils , and elsewhere. It is Scretary Wilson's hope that agricul ture , or the first principles of the sci ence , will soon be a part of the cur riculum In every rural school , and this will mean that thousands of women will have to take normal courses In ag ricultural science In order to fit them selves for teachers. In Western schools and colleges of agriculture are many girls who have in herited , or expect to inherit , large farms , which they will manage them selves. Others study special branches of farming , such as dairying , small fruit growing , market gardening , etc. Women are well fitted , for these branches , and have made them profit able in so many parts of the country that all doubt of the wisdom of this choice of a profession seems to be dis pelled. A new kind of special farming has recently engaged the attent.on of wom en in the Eastern States. At the fruit and flower shows given each autumn in New York much interest has at tached to experiments in growing cul tivated varieties of chestnuts , pecans , walnuts , etc. Larger tracts of lands in Southern New Jersey have been plant ed with choice nut trees , the Italian and Japanese giant chestnut chief among them. One young woman went into partnership with her brother in planting twenty acres of land owned by them , and a few years later re signed a well-paying position in a New York law office to attend to the growing business of their nut farm. She looks after every detail of the work the gathering and shipping of the crop , and the correspondence , and will probably one day become the sole owner of the property. New York Evening Test TheDressiuc-Snck There is a popular delusion to the effect that household tasks require slip shod garments and unkempt hair. Let the frowsy ones contemplate the trained nurse in her spotless uniform. with her snowy cap and apron and her shining hair. Let the doubting ones go to a cooking school and see a neat young woman in a blue gingham gown and a white apron prepare an eight- course dinner , and emerge spotless from the ordeal. The woman who puts on an apron over her dressing sack by that act openly proclaims that the thing would be better if it was belted in. Then why not a shirt waist ? Does one ever * see a trained nurse in a dressing sack , even when she does heavier work than any other woman is ever called upon to do ? If a woman in the uniform of a trained nurse can do the manifcld things assigned to her calling , surely the laundress and the cook do not need a dressing sack. There is a cynical adage that runs thus : "Strangers for help , friends for dvice and iclatives for nothing. " Few of us will be bold enough to say there is no truth in it , and the reason is not far to seek. Who should help us if not those who always see our best side ? Strangers think us charming , friends admit but pardon our faults , and relatives fight with us. We make our houses spotless for a stranger , but friends can take us as we are. For a new acquaintance there Is purple and fine linen , while we offer our friends cold potatoes and remnants of pie. The s lid silver and dainty em broideries are put away for the stran ger , while one's husband , who , in a way , is a relative by marriage , eats left-overs out of nicked dishes , and con templates a dresIng sack between mouthfuls. The Pilgrim. Soc'nl Young girls who belong to the same social set are much on an equal plane between the ages of 12 and IS ; wheth er they are rich or poor , p'ain or pret ty , does not then particulary count , as they have similar pursuits and in terests , and are practically on an equality. It is after their social de but that the great differences becomes apparent and that friends are more or less separated through inevitable circumstances. The social success of some young women is a foregone con clusion. The prominence and wealth of their families , combined with a cer tain amount of attraction , render any exertion quite unnecessary. They have only to take graciously and sweetly the goods that the gods pro vide , to be very popular. With the rank and file of maidens , however , it is quite different , and depends upon themselves whether they become per sona grata in society or gradually drop out of the running with former associates. Unluckily for the major ity , it is only experience that sharp ens their wits and perceptions , and that can only be acquired by failures and knowledge of the world. If young people could only get experience with out experiencing , or If they would only be content to take what their elders have acquired at considerable cost how many years they might gain j and how much more assured would be their success ! If In mental progress one Is willing to take for granted what others have discovered , and begii where they leave off , why is it in mat ters that are personally more import ant that human nature always refuse- to be guided and invariably begin anew ? "I know exactly what would makt my girls have a good time in society , ' said a woman of experience , "bin they will not take my advice. The.\ will see some day that I am right , am they are wrong , but , then , unior tunately , it will be too late. " Ne\\ York Tribune. The Blessing of KducatWIfVs. . So long as women were absolutely ignorant , men could pass as wise or small capital ; but the growing inin of woman lifts the mind of man will two great forces heredity and sex-at traction. Large-brained mothers inak- better men , and the sweetheart who is wise as well as kind can do wonders with her lover. Lord Chesterfield's advice to his son is clear on this point. He strongly urges him to marry a woman who is wise as well as rich , handsome and well-born ; "for , " says he , "thou will find there is nothing more fulsome than a she-fool. " The Greeks would not have educated wives , owing to prejudice , tradition and general error ; but , as they grew ca pable of more pleasure than the prim itive sex-relation allows , they sought it outside of marriage. It is wonderful how long a piece of idiocy will stick in the human brain. Never was a more splendid develop ment of some mental qualities than in Athens , yet there this antique igno rance remained bedded in the fertile Intellectual s il like a bowlder in a gar den. den.They They would have slavery , and they would have ignorant wives , and they fell. To-day , with our new knowledge of the laws of nature , with our great ad vance in freedom of thought and ac tion , there is still less excuse for us. We know now that a nation Is bust measured by the position of its women. Charlotte Perkins Oilman , in Succe-ss Her She bought n hat plain , prim and flat With feathers trained on willingly ; It hid her eyes like a disguise And touched one ear tiptiltingiy ; A homely thing of straw and string , And yet she proudly flaunted it , 'Twas all made clear by her "Oh. donrJ Another wouiau wanted itl" She wears a dress it cost no less Than ninety-five sinioleons ; It's faded tan , and looser than That great coat of Napoleon's ; It puckers so , and flares as though Some dismal spirit haunted it ; It has no style but she will smile ; Another woman wanted it ! " Of bric-a-brac she has no lack. Aud still she's always buying more ; Weird wall designs and ugly steius ; Strange foods she's always trying more. Once to her flat she brought a cat A fake Maltese. We taunted her. She sighed : "I know I'm beat , but , oh , Another woman wanted her ! " Her married life is naught but strife But what's the use to moralize ? "He" has an awe inspiring jaw And "I-delight-to-quarrel" eyes , Threats of divorce or shows of force Have never even daunted him. And she'll confess : "Well , I said 'Yes' Another woman wanted him ! " W. D. Nesbit in Life. Do Not Uree Your Chifcl. If your child cannot concentrate its mind or commit to memory without great difficulty , or if it &eems back ward , do not "urge it to study. No de velopment which is forced is natural or normal. The mind may be develop ing unevenly. When the brain cells are more fully developed and the nerve cells more mature , the faculties will balance and the child will become nor mal , evenly developed. But he must be encouraged instead of being dis couraged , for otherwise the result may be disastrous. It is cruel to keep tell ing a child that he is dull or stupid , or that he is not like other children. The discouraging pictures thus Im pressed upon his plastic mind will cling to it and become indelible in the brain of the man and handicap him for life. Success. Safe Way to Clean Carpets. An experienced chemist says the following recipe is warranted to re move soil and spots from the most delicate carpets without injuring them. Make a suds with a good white soap and hot water , and add fullers' earth to this until the consistency of thin cream is secured. Have plenty of clean drying cloth , a small scrubbing brush , a large sponge and a pail of fresh water. Put some of the clean ing mixture In a bowl and dip a brush in it ; brush a small piece of the car pet with this ; then wash with the sponge and cold water. Dry as much as possible with the sponge , and fin ally rub with dry cloths. Continue this till you are sure that all the car pet is clean ; then let It dry. Chicago Journal Misunderstood.

Letters of congratulation : iud commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as u catarrh remedy : ire pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun dreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters , from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer , the indoor arti san , the clerk , the editor , the statesman , the preacher all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum , recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy , are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testi mony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca tarrh is well night universal ; almost om nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the be ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds , to cure colds , is to client catarrh out of its victims. Peruna not only cures ca tarrh , but prevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great rem edy for coughs , colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of i'eruna. lie keeps it con- tinually in the house. In n recent letter - , ter to Dr. IJaitman , he says : S PATE OF OKEGOK , ) | EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT , J The Peruna Medicine Co. , Columbus , O. : Dear Sirs / have had occasion to use your Peruna medicine in my family for colds , end it proved to be an excel lent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly , W. At. Lord It wi.'l be noticed that the Governor says he has- not had occasion to use Pe runa for other ailments. The reason for this is , most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure colds , he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Peruna in Hie house. Use it for coughs , colds , la grippe , and other climatic affections of winter , and there wi ! ! b" no other ailments in the house.
