A French literary woman and so ciologist studying the big cities of America ( ells us thai our civilization will be the best the world has ever seen , because of the influence of the American woman on our educational system and our club life. It is always pleasant to hear nice thiuirs about one's own. and the Ameri can man is more easily and surely Ilat- tered by praise of his wife and daugh ters than by any other method. Of course , we know that the American woman is the finest of her sex. but It is not every day thai her European sister will admit it. The European man has always known her superiority , and the num ber of American wives in European homes is proof of his good judgment. On the other hand , it is an encourag ing sign of growing appreciation of the American man that a real , titled aristocrat from the old world has found the man of her heart in Balti more. Who knows but one of these days we shall have princesses and duchesses and ail that sort of thing in our best society , keeping up the drawing room while the plain American husband produces - duces the shekels to do the keeping ? u A vast amount of American money has gone to Europe with American brides. and J it is no more than fair that a foreign J title or two should come to this country ( o even up. Earls and dukes bolster up their family fortunes with American whvs and money , so why shouldn't Kuropean ladies of title take husbands from our great American nobility to maintain them in dignity suitable to their rank ? Odd Occupations of "Women. Mrs. Mary A. I.amont is a railroad switchwonmn on the Boston and AI bany. and receives all the railroad tele grams at h/H- station besides doing tin switching. Mrs. Hughes is the "master of the hounds" at Ncuaddfawr , Wales , and Is ; such nn expert rider that she swiim her : lior.se across stream while other * following the hounds think it more expedient fr pedient to go around by the bridge. Miss Edith Somerville. of West Car- bery , in Ireland , is master of fox hounds. Mrs. Donald C. Monroe is the only woman in the United States who is a professional cartoonist , being known in New York by her maiden name ol Laura K. Foster. l > r. S. Josephine Baker , of the Health Department of Now York City , and Dr. Annie Williams , of the Bacteriological Department , are both experts. "Who Stiiiports the l\ev. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs. Ch.irlotte Perkins Oilman had a debate the other day in New York , the ques tion being. ' 'Do husbands support their wives ? " Rev. Anna Shaw said that they do not , but that in this semi civilized country in thirty-eight of the Slates tiic title to the children rests , not in the mother , but in the father. Women cannot legally possess their own children nor own their clothes. The more work a woman docs th- ' less her husband gives her. Mrs. ( Jilman said : that if a stenographer earning 23 a week married an invalid and he stayed home and did the work while sc she m.idc the money , people would say scdi she ' supported him. and logically the ai wife doing the same thing was sup tli ports , ! . The audience , however , votnd favor of the proposition of Dr. j Shaw. (1 s sw ov pr ti la siel el Fashionable fur stoies are long and lo nr" extremely wide. re l > : ice yokes and sleeves continue pop br ular in spite of their long use. hi Huge ostrich plumes , dyed in richest en < s. were never more in favor. Pi th White furs are worn as toques , stoles and umffs , not to mention trimmings. ' 1 'ic ' lace coat figures as a part of many of the dressy frocks of the aeajn sou. so Contrary to expectations , white th vnists hare not gone out of fashion , th but are being worn almost as much as ever. Cashmere de sole and dull heiirietfa are the most approved mourning mate rials. A now shade of dark green , very pop ular with young girls , is called At lantic. The walking stick , after a period of retirement , is now highly fashionable for men. An Immense automobile muff has constructed In it a special pocket for carrying a pet dog. Little hats that call for only a bit of fur , a wisp of gauze and an aigrette are fetching for theater wear. With some of the soft colors in use this winter the combinations of cloth and gauze are passing beautiful. Charming for women with fresh faces and fair skins are the new ame thyst hats , which have just come into the mode. Button finishes down the outside of the long , tight sleeves are one of the newest reliefs from the usually unbe coming line. The spangled net sleeves are most be coming to any woman whose arms are well shaped , and the sleeves are made without lining. Incidentally , some of the new mink and sable muffs look like a whole fur family , for the foundation is simply covered with heads and taila. In many of the season's styles ( lie eft eelof the back of the gown is more effect of the back of the gown is move 'laboratc than the front , the empire in < > accentuating the fact. Buttonholes are indeed a feature in hciusolvos this year : in their anxiety t ) prove themselves genuine Uiciy po.si- ivcly yawn in one's face. Children and IVezitiiess. A waste paper basket should form iart of every nursery equipment. Chil- ren should be taught to put into it all craps of paper , cuttings from dolls' ressmaking and any other little odds nd ends that would otherwise litter he nursery floor. It will teach them an excellent les- on in tidiness and be good training , specially for the girls , for the day rhen each will have a home of her wn. wn.While While children are young it is com- aratively easy to teach them to be idy , but the lesson is hard to learn in iter life. Ho' Doesn't Know Her. The girl who pulls roses to pieces as he talks is the creation of men nov- lists who do not share the feminine ve of Ilowers. ) They might as well epresent her as "idly pinching the aby as she spoke. " Marguerite and er daisy are true to life ; most woiu- would pull anything on earth to icccs to know if the right man loves hem ; but they need the motive. For Falling Hair. First rub some common kerosene ito the scalp , then lather it well with ap jolly ( made by melting soap ) , len sprinkle water on , still working latbtr antll it's like tht pictures. you see advertising shaving soap. Then rinse , rinse until the water runs off perfectly clear. Dry in the sun If possible. When well dried , comb with dull , coarse-tooth comb. Shun brushes as you would a pestilence. It Is brushes and fine combs that drag the hair out root and branch. That is all. Try it and be convinced. Put n piece of white soap in wide bottle tle , fill with warm water and let stand till ready to wash the hair , then fill up again and let stand till next time and the "jelly" Is always ready. Red Hair and Consumption. A German physician declares that red-haired persons are more suscepti ble to consumption than dark-haired people. Some other types , like Scandi navians , who , as a rule , are blonde , when transplanted from the healthy agricultural sections of their native country to the congested districts of large cities , offer less resistance to con sumption than do native born citizens. Many blondes , however , have remark able powers of resistance against con sumption , while many brunettes offer relatively little resisting power. This , he says , is due to racial susceptibility and change In environment. Educating ; tiie Men. In the United States , where women ' are probably freer than in anj * other part of the world , the divorce records show that they are the accusers in ' three-fourths of the suits filed. This . means , of course , that women are de- | ' mandlng a higher standard of living and that they will recognize only one standard of morality for both sexes. Men may rebel , but they will have to come to it finally if they hope to live happy ever after. "Woman Commercial Jndc. Pon't forget her name. Mme.

Life has not on'lv 11I. become less leisurely , but also more sci entific and more serious.

Forty-six powers of the old and new world recently ended at Rome , Italy , the first session of the International Institute of Agriculture , j The King of Italy built the palace ; for the institute , and endowed it with j an income derived from the rents of one of his private estates , and within its walls from time to time in the fu ture the nations of the world will gather to exchange thought , statistics and inventions for their mutual benefit. While the good aimed at is the good of all the people of all the countries , those who till the soil will be the ear liest beneficiaries. To aid them in har vesting larger crops , to help them to wider markets , to guard them from the evil effects of the speculative ex change , where prices are manipulated without regard to the man whose sweat has been spent on the soil , will j be a few of the objects sought by the 1 institute. The fact that forty-six governments - ; ernments have put their shoulders to I the wheel of the project promises well for its success. The first the world knew of the \\ork was when it was learned that King Victor Emmanuel had become an enthusiast on agriculture and hud written a letter to his cousin. Giovanni ( Jiolitti , president of the Council of Ministers at Rome , outlining the project - ject of the institute. In consequence of the King's letter an invitation was sent out to the principal governments of the world asking them to send representa tives to a preliminary meeting in Rome during May and June. lf.'U."i. At the preliminary conference the scheme of the work was divided into three branches , or bureaus. The first was to be that in control of the cler ical and financial details : the second ! to have charge of the general statistics and agricultural information , ami the third of information relating to eco nomic and social institutions. Tiider the last named are included the sub jects of wages of farm labor and in formation concerning the agencies of co-operation , insurance and agricul tural credit. The second bureau , how ever , is by far the most important in its scope , as it has charge of the chief subjects for which the institute was organized agricultural statistics , in cluding everything connected with an imal and vegetable production and dis tribution , prices and wages , and the diseases and pests of plants and their remedies. The expenses of the institute , except its home , which was given by the King of Italy , are borne by the various coun tries represented , the amount of as sessment being pro rated according to the number of votes each Jiovernment has in the conventions. The countries j are divided into five classes , those of j the first class , of which the United States is one , being entitled to five votes. Nearly all the other kingdoms , republics , principalities and colonies of the civilized world are in the fourth and fifth categories , with one or two votes apiece. Operative plasterers at Ottawa , Cana da , organized recently. A new union of blacksmiths has been formed at Sherman. Texas. The general lockout of tailors in Swit zerland has been settled.

She could not remember that she ever had seen her mamma sew. She is a truth ful child and would not claim nn.v ad vantage she was not sure of. yet she fnlt mamma's honor WHS : it stake.
