American women witn true-naming proclivities may get some idea of the benefits derived from such a union from the case of Mrs. Samuel J. Colgate, who became the Countess of , Strafford. By the accidental death of her noble spouse the cpuntess became a widow within a few months after her marriage. The small extent to which he was esteemed by her late husband may properly be gathered from the fact that out of an estate of nearly $150,000 the insignificant portion of $5000 was bequeathed to the American widow, his lordship taking particular pains to provide that all heirlooms and ancestral property should descend to others. * Some Paris friends of one of the viatims of the Bourgogce disaster have onerea me earn 01 J5du,uuu as a rewaru lor any one who will give an impetus to the discovery of life-eaving ApparatUB. = "iT How Mrs. Piakbam j j HELPED MRS.

Women in Holland Are Absolute Mistresses of Iheir Somen, "The Dutch housewife," says Albert D. Vandam in the Gentlewoman, "has * 1 # 1J ^ I not ner equal in ine worm ?? a mou- | ager. She is first of all 'the absolute mistress of her home.' There are 110 implicit reservations as to the kitchen. She goes into it every day, and at any hour of the day, and the cook who objects is likely to be dismissed for her pains. In that respect, at any rate, servants appear to be more tractable in Holland than with us. And such kitchens they are! For I was asked und was taken into three, and each time my visit to them happened to be about an hour before dinner. In each case the family to be ' provided for was fairly numerous?in one case it consisted of a round dozen persons, the youngest of whom was ! onlv ten. The dinner hour is between 6 and 6.30 o'clock, for even iu those well to do families the' so-called luucheon is somewhat in the nature of. a 'high tea,' the Souchong being re! placed by coffee, though not always. n."I was introduced then into the kitchen without the slightest warning, the mistress not having deemed it necessary to ask permission of her lieutenant to visit her domain, even in company of a stranger. And the lieutenant, secure of the impeccability of all things in her charge, received us with a smile and went on manipui latiug stewpans, red copper and earth| enware, as if she were all alone, and. 1 had an opportunity of looking around. The conventional dressor with the conventional dinner and breakfast service, wao not there, instead of which an array of saucepans, strainers, colanders and the rest such as I have never seen in England. Soup tureens, sauceboats and dishes were inclosed in cupboards, the ! shelves of which were covered with white linen cloths, trimmed with lace, all dazzlingly white. I asked how often these had to be changed and was told that four weeks was the regulation period. "In London these shelf cloths would be downright grimy before half ! the time had expired, and I am not likely to forget in these and possible j future remarks that the Dutch atmosphere fights and makes for cleanliness, ind that our English climate does the reverse. I will go still further and say that the Dutch servant, having something to show for the 'elbow crrease' she has expended, is prouder af her performances than the English :>ne;yetall this does not account for she comparative cleanliness of our oomes and the superlative cleanliness if the Dutch homes."

If you have a debutante daughter who insists on rus'iing about windy links wearing broadnibbed shoes, encouraging a milkmaid jolor and a big waist, loqk out for her future.

A Model Hoateu. L A woman may possess wealth un- ( told, she may have the kindest of hearts and the brightest of minds, but unless she has absolute control of her feelings there will.be some time in liar rareer as hostess that she will dis play aunoyance or flurry, and the contagion spreading to her guests will cause an otherwise successful entertainment to die out in undisguised failure, says the Philadelphia Times. A model hostess must to all appearances be made all of good humor so far as disagreeable happenings are concerned. Even though a guest or careless waiter inadvertently breaks a bit of china which cau never bo rereplaced, she must smile on as though the loss of the entire set would but emphasize the pleasure of the even ing. Her "well-bred calm inspires her guests with a feeling of confi fidence, and though in her heart she may be very dubious about certain important details of her dinner or dauce, if she does not show her anxiety everything will pass off to a happy conclusion. A flurried hostess or nervous host, whose countenances but sadly conceal the worry they feel, can do more toward making the guest uncomfortable than if the soup were stone cold and the salad dressing were ruined by a too bountiful quantity of Vinegar. An imperturbable calm and a ready tact are the two important factors in the making of a model hostess. Secure these and you need never fear for the success of anj of your future entertainments. Wouien Are Failures at Shopping. "It is a singular thing that with the amount of shopping done by worn en they should continue to shop so badly?badly, I mean, in the sense of shopping with au absolute lack of system," writes Edward Bok in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Here and there we meet a woman to whom Goil seems to have given a logical mind which she applies to her shopping. But as a general thing the assertion that women shop with an utter lack oJ system is unfortunately all too easy of proof. And curiously enough, it it? not alone tho3e behind the counter who suffer, for the women themselve? make their shopping doubly , bard bj their lack of system. The percentagi of women who 'love to shop* and thosi who 'hate shopping' seem about equal so far as I can make out. Themethodt which both employ, however, are pretty much the same, the only marked difference apparently being the entire absence of all method in the one case and the existence of o;uly a very poor method in the other. Tak? a hundred women who go 'for a day'? shopping,' and it is] perfectly safe ti say that ninety of them will have not the slightest idea of what they want.' New Bridal Custom?.

For illustration: At the factory cf the \V. L. Douglass Shoe company tbe nay roll for the week ending Sept. 30, excluding superintendent, foremen, salesmen and all clerical h?lj>, shows the average earning* 3t th? employes, large and small, to be $15.54 per week. This was not an extraordinary week. It was the customary pay roll. The amount earned iper week, however, does not always tell the story of prosperity. The number of weeks erupldyed each year is tbe determining factor in the wage earners' prosperity. The Douglass factory has been - l<m?l but 'one week this year, and that foi the usual summer stock taking, and it will be ;losed but three davs the latter part of December. This woula make but nine days out of the year that the lactory is closed, which is surely as steady work as the most industrious shoemaker could desire.

Henry Chadwick, the "father of the national game," will call on the President and urge upon him the original idea of providing all the regiments with athletic equipments, bnt principally with the implements of the national game. England has for years provided her soldiers with cricket outfits, and as a result Tommy Atkins has developed into prime physical exhibits of the English race. Among the different regiments great baseball rivalry exists," resulting in the development of the much sought for espiit de corps. Of course, our troops now play ball when opportunity presents itself, but all the paraphernalia secured is at the expense of the boys in blue. The War Office in England looks to this part of the equipment of the English soldier as caiefully as to the ammunition and guns, and should our Government adopt tbe suggestion, it is clain e 1 that nothing but the best results c.n follow. , Puny Killed by a Rooiter.

Dan threw a piece of meat into the coop for the chicken*. A cat came along and wanted to share in the feast. The rooster objected and a fight ensued. Several fast rounds were fought with the honors very even until the last round, when fortune favored the rooster. Dan in the meantime was getting around into the coop to stop ihe battle, fearing that the rooster would get killed. When he opened the door of the coop the cat was lying on its back in the throes of death, he having been spurred in a vital spot. The rooster seemed to realize that he had been fighting a cat, as it did not crow, as is usual in a chicken fight.?Walkerton (Ind.) Independent. r < [Piifo? < 1 Does your head ache?

Some of our readers observed, perhaps, when reading the address be* fore the Huntsville convention upon the timber interests of the South, the nse of the word "rosin," applied to ' exudations of gum from the pine tree. The word, as written in the address, was "resin." The word "rosin" has come to mean specifically the residue that remains after the distillation of oil of turpentine from pure turpen 'iaj tine.
