Professional Trunk Packers.
In almost every large city there are
women who earn money by their skill
in trunk packing. Last summer several
fashionable summer hotels, em|
ployed a woman permanently to render
p.- this service to their guests. The success
of the experiment will probably
f induce other hotels to provide the same
V convenience.

Wn*? Ideaa of American Women.
The Chinese minister. Wu Ting :
Fang, has this to say of the American
women of today:
"No foreigner in America fails to be
impressed with the importance of the
role women play in this country. Their
activity in the social and business
world gives certain subtle qualities to
American life not found where the influence
of women is less generally and
definitely exerted.
"It seemed to me once that there was
danger of woman usurping man's place
in the world. I have come to think it
does not much matter if^she does. I
|l|believe in tne survivai 01 ine nttesi.
Success, surely, is the only test of fit&
ness. Let the women go on, then; let
[l-^Cthem go as far as they can.
"Those who are unfit for the race
will fall by the wayside and only the
truly fit can win."
That Large Black Pot.
Fortunately for the peace of fashionable
womankind the veil with large
isolated black lozenges has now become
less popular. To get those spots
In the right place, so that they would
be beautifiers, like the patches worn
in Pompadour days, was one of the
greatest trials of last winter. If the
reil happened to slip, as was freluently
the case, it sometimes gave
>ne the appearance of having lost a
"rent tooth, or of eyebrows meeting
iritk a terrific scowl, or of having a nose
if abnormal size. To such an extent
lid that veil pray upon the feminne
mind that when a certain fashiontble
woman fainted in church, her first
ict when she revived was to whisper
inxiously to her friend, who held her
lead, "Please put my dots right," and
hen, overcome with the exertion, she
ainted again.?New York Tribune.
Panels of VolTet.
Cloth skirts a la mode have entire
ireadths of-dark colored velvet let ino
them, as deep panels from the waistand
to the hem. The panels are skillally
gored, and are quite narrow at
he top, so as to avoid giving the wearr
a clumsey churn-like aspect Sealrown
velvet is let into a cloth gown
f the same color. The most frequent
sample is seen in the black cloth
own. If only two panels are used one
I would occupy the iront or middle
breadth, and the other the middle of
the back. This effect, however, is not
nearly so good as where the' back
breadth is of cloth. If three panelB
are used one would be in front and
two at the sides. A single panel in
front is better than the two described
above. You could have two panels look
well if you arranged them each one
side of the front middle breadth. Put
no lace insertions or medallions nor
any braid trimming, gilt or otherwise,
upon the velvet skirt panels. They are
intended to be perfectly plain.
Why Some Women Become Na roes.
The work of learning to be a nurse
is not easy, as those novices find who
enter the training school from comfortable
and even luxurious homes. Many
motives impel the choice of this profession,
apart from the woman's natural
learning to kind deeds and the
''' need of earning a living. Sometimes a
^?-- w oman lakes upon herself the long
~ training service because she feels that
f hers is rather a useless life and ought
& to bo made at least capable of useful
ness, whether or not she goes on with
nursing ps a profession in after years.
It is^said that this class of students
?& learn the hardest and most disagreeable
duties with a sort Of radiant
brightness in their daily rounds that
does pot shine upon the faces of those
who but less imagination and more
practical necessity into the work. The
presence of an ideal illumines almost
any occupation.

Some Splendid Kttotu Girls.
The St Louis Post Dispatch publishes
under the head of "Hustling
Girls of Kansas" these entertaining
paragraphs: '
Miss Mattie Hush of Ness county
jfc, feeds, harnesses and works four horses,
plows and sows and helps harvest the
crops on the ranch,, waters and feeds
T-?- -5(1 hcid tit"cattle, and, with her elder
sister, milks 40 cows twice a day.
Miss Elizabeth Goodman, who lives
five miles west of Galena, is 24 years
of"age. With the assistance of her
younger sister she operates a farm of
60 acres, and is getting rich.
Miss Lillian E. Hall of Winfield has
been appointed by Governor Stanley to
be coroner of Cowley county.
Miss Grace Kennedy of Atchison
weighs only 87 pounds, and a yard and
a quarter of goods will make her a
waist. Three yards of binding will go
round her skirt, and two and a quarter
yards of goods will make her a
skirt.
Miss Esther Searle of Cawker City
is a blacksmith.
Miss Olive Jones, the 19-year-old
daughter of "Buffalo" Jones of Topeka
ha? sold a story to Harper's for $150.
It tells of the capture of two mountain
sheep which "Buffalo" Jones was recently
delegated to find by the authorities
of the Smithsonian institute.
Shirtwaists Confines in Fnvor.
The shirtwaist seems to have been
adopted as a permanent part of the
American woman's outfit. The predictions
made each year by cynical observers
have never been borne out by
facts. This year the leading modistes
of not only this country, but of the
great foreign centres of fashion, report
as large an assortment of these simple
and convenient garments as ever before.
Already new designs for the
early and middle spring are in the market;
and, beyond these, may be studied
the creations which are to be worn
next July. For spring wear, the tendency
is toward silks and silk mixtures.
There is already a notable variety in
these attractive textiles. Taffeta, wash
silk, corded silk. China and Japan
silk, Louisine and several French combinations
of silk with other tissues are
upon the counters, and have won
merited praise. In decorative treatment,
there is larger latitude than last
seasofi. To the critic it would seem
as if women had grown tired of a simple
exterior and were about to replace
it with rich ornamental effects. This
. .
is noticeable in many details. There is
a larger use of stripes, dots, figures
and geometrical patterns in the dress
goods. Lace stripes and insertions,
embroidery in silk floss, tucks and
pleats, straps and other ornaments are
finding a much more generous employment
While this, in the main, makes
the spring shirtwaist more expensive
than formerly, it is more attractive
and satisfactory to the wearer. Thus
far there has been no great change in
the cut and general effect of the waist.
In many the yoke has been given up;
in others there has been adopted a
slight swell or bouffante toward the
belt, suggesting a modified Russian
blouse effect so popular a few yearv
ago.
Paris'* Helen Keller.
A woman we have been extremely
interested in lately, or a young girl
| rather, is Marie Heurtin, a rrencn
j Helen Keller, but even more wonderful
than Helen Kellar, since the latter lost
the senses of sight, speech and. hearing
at the age of 18 months, so that the two
senses left may be aided by unconscious
cerebration, based upon early impressions
or unconscious memory of impressions
gained before these senses
!< disappeared. Marie Heurtin, however,
unlike Laura Bridgman, Helen Ke21aror
Martha Obrech. was born deaf, dumb
and blind. Up to the time when she was
ten years old she was apparently not
only completely idiotic, but also a
most impossible little person who lay
down on the ground and rolled at the
slightest thing which displeased her,
shrieked for hours together, only
slapped people if they tried to show
her any tenderness, and was altogether ,
so violent that she was sent away from
two institutions for deaf mutes, and
passed on to the nuns at Larnay as a
perfect little savage for whom it was
quite useless to try to do anything. I
know of no more fascinating story
than that of the means by which these
devoted sisters first tamed the little
shrew, then taught her. Sister St. Marguerite
it was who gave her her first
idea. Marie Heurtin had brought
away with her a little knife, which she
seemed to love. Sister St. Marguerite,
who had got the child's confidence in a
way, took away the knife, making
meanwhile in the hand of
the little girl the sign which in the
deaf and dumb language means knife.
Then the knife was put back into her
hand with the same sign. After a time
Marie Heurtin began to comprehend
that there was a connection between
the sign and the object From the
knife Sister St. Marguerite went on to
repeat the same experience with the
fruits the little girl liked best?Harper's
Bazar.
For dressy "occasions ivory cloth is
made up with cluny lace and touches
of gold.
French camelshair serge is one of
the popular materials for the spring
tailor-made gown.
Silk and linen mixtures in dainty
colorings and strips are among the
new fabrics for shirtwaists.
For wear with a gown of light, then
material, the petticoat should be made
with a deep yoke, as the gathers of the
other kind show through.
Drap de kar is a new material for
shirtwaists. It is a soft woolen, something
like a very fine cashmere, and
comes in various lovely snaaes.
Evening gloves with embroidered
eyelets and facing at the top are one
of the new fads, and it seems to be a
useful one for keeping the gloves up
at the top.
Long ostrich plumes are now split,
then rolled over ropes or swathing of
tulle, which lie on top of the hat brim.
This genre for evening wear has a
crown of gold embroidered tulle, and
is made upon a net frame.
Swiss muslins in great variety are
displayed in the shops, some with
very realistic designs in iarge flowers,
others embroidered with white, black
or the same color as the garment, and
without limit as to patterns.
Some of the pretty new muslins are
printed in all-over designs with medallion
effects, while other cotton fabrics
show both cashmere designs and
colors. As for the new batistes, they
are prettier than ever, especially the
embroidered varieties.
Large Leghorn hats, drooping in
front and back, are said to be a feature
of the coming millinery for summer.
They have high crowns encircled by
roses arranged in a stiff manner, and
a soft ribbon caught on the edge of the
brim in front is carried to the edge of
the brim in the back, where it is tied
in a bow.
A noved plan for protecting a
dainty silk or lawn shirtwaist is suggested
in an underwaist of very thin
fine lawn, made with bishop sleeves
gathered into dainty cuffs of lace or
embroidery, a small, round yoke also
of lace or embroidery and a transparent
choker. . This can be laundered,
Land the outside waist is made more
dressy by cutting it out to meet the

The Bank of England'* Garden.
Visitors to the inner courts of the
bank of England are surprised to find
a beautiful garden hidden away from
j the dust of the city by those frowning
black walls that gaze on Threadnee!
die street. Just now the rhododendrons
are in full bloom, and with the
sparkling fountain in the centre present
a scepe of much delight to the
eye.
This garden of the bank was once
the churchyard of the St Christopherle-Stocks,
a city church which was
pulled down a century ago to extend
the bank premises. It got its name
from the stocks market which once occupied
the site of the Mansion House
opposite, and this in its turn was so
named from the city stocks that stood
there.
This quiet garden was very ousy m
j 1848 during the Chartist scare. Sandbags
were piled up here in readiness
to strengthen the walls, and regulars
and volunteers assembled among the
flower beds to repel the attack that
never came.
The windows overlooking the garj
den are those of the courtroom of the
! bank.?London Star.

DEERING AT PARIS IN 1900,
r
The Famous Chicago Hanreittr
Company Received Sore and
Greater Honors Than Were Ever
Before Accorded an American
Exhibitor in (ho History of Ex- ;
positions*
America may well feel proud of the inter- j
est which her citizens too* in the Paris Exposition
and the elaborate exhibits which were
prepared with consummate skill and displayed
in a manner not excelled by any other country, j
Those of Harvesting Machinery in particular
were most complete and interesting. The I
Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, !
America's foremost manufacturer of this line
of goods, was accorded the position of honor, '
having contributed more to the advancement j
of the art of harvestirig than any other manu- ;
facturer, living or dead, and with a greater
array of important inventions to its credit
than anv other companv in the world.
Yisitora to tho Exposition -were prompt to
accord the Deering exhibits supreme honor*,
and it only remained for official mandate to
ratify the popular verdict, which waa done in
a manner as substantial as it waa well-merited. I
Each one of the seven Peering exhibits secured j
tho highest award in its class.
In addition to four high decorations, the
Deering Harvester Company received twenty- .}
five awards, or twenty-nino in all, as follows:
Decoration of Officer of the Lemon of Honor, j
j Decoration of Chevalier of too Legion of j
Honor, Two Decorations of Officer of Merit*
Agricolo, a Special Certificate of Honor, Th* !
Grand Prize, Six Gold Medals, Six 8ilver j
Medals and Eleven Bronze Medals, including
Deering Collaborator Medals.
The Decoration of Legion of Honor was in- !
atituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when First
Consul in 1802, and is only conferred in recog- j
nition of distinguished military or civil achievements.
It is the highest distinction in the gift
of the French ltepublic.
Tho Decoration of Merite Agricole is an
honor of but slightly less importance, which
is conferred upon those who have contributed ,
greatly to the advancement of agriculture.
An Official Certificate of Honor was accord- j
ed the Deering lteirospective Exhibit, which
showed the improvements in harvesting machinery
during the past century, and excited
tho highest praiso of the French Government
Officials who had entrusted to the Deering j
Harvester Company tho preparation of thi*
most important exhibit. By special request
this exhibit has been presented to the National
Museum o* Arts and Sciencos at Pari*, where ;
it has become a permanent future of that j
world-famed institution.
The Deering Twine Exhibit and Corn Har- j
Tester Exhibit, both of which received the
highest awards, have by request of the French !
Government been presented to tho National
Agricultural Collogo of France.

Caterpillars occasionally crawl from
their hiding places on warm days in
winter. The most common of these is I
a thick furred worm with a red coat
banded with black, which has the appearance
of chenille. Of the caterpillars
that live through the winter a
large number belong to species that
require more than one season to devel- ,
op from the egg to the perfect insect.
The year 1900 was an excellent year
for fruit in Switzerland, and a manufacturing
firm in the canton of Aagau
decided to erect a plant for utilizing
the apple crop. Machinery was put in
I
for peeling, coriii^and slicing apples. !
The baking was accomplished by placing
the slices on trays which were
something like gridirons, one being
placed over another in the ovens. An
electric motor was used to warm the 1
air for the baking.
Large deposits of magnesite have been
found in southern India, andiheofficers i
of a Portland cement works at Ma- i
dras have succeeded in producing a
white cement plaster which has magnesium
for a basis. This cement can be
used for plastering walls, and dries
so speedily that rooms are ready for
occupancy within 48 hours. It can be
painted or else colored by mixing col- '
oring matters, and it is extremely val- i
uable from a sanitary standpoint, as
it can be washed down. The cement is i
as hard as Portland cement, while at j
the same time, it can be moulded like j
plaster of paris. It is thought that the }
material, which can be used either in- j
doors or outside, will play an impor- tant
part in house building in India.
In the Hemshof dye and soda fac- j
tory near Mannheim, Ger., a workman
named Montag has invented a substi- j
tute for coal, which costs about 25 j
cents per 220 pounds to manufacture. |
Peat is the basis, with the addition of j
certain secret chemicals pressed into ;
bricks. The product gives a great
heat, burns with a bright flame, leaves j
no slag and only a small quantity of
white ash. Certain Mannheim capital- {
ists have tried to obtain the secret ;
from the inventor by offering him a position
as director in a company to be j
established, giving him a salary of j
$4000 and 2 percent of the net profits, j
but he has refused this offer because
he wants to control the sale of the in- j
vention himself. Mr. Gehrig, the sec- ;
retary of the Mannheim chamber of ;
commerce, has undertaken to procure |
the means to manufacture the article ;
in partnership with the inventor. They
have bought peat land, and will erect i
the buildings large enough to keep sev-J
erel hundred men at work, with a '
daily output of 60 tons.

rreclons Stone* Co Up.
The tendency of prices of precious I
stones has been upward for more than 1
three years, and it is to be assumed as !
certain that they will be maintained j
all along the line. Pearls are very j
high in price. The patience of the !
Chinese and East Indians who send i
pearls to Europe for sale is proverbial, i
They do not part with them until they 5
are paid their own prices. This also j
explains why pearls have within the '
last 100 years only risen, but never j
fallen, in price.
Large rubies are very rare today, ,
and are bought at almost fabulous j
prices.
Emeralds are seen in plenty in in- j
ferior qualities, but the medium and j
fine grades, especially in current sizes, j
are rare and bring high prices.

The destructive prairie dog is him- '
self to be destroyed by an act of con- |
gress. Hundreds of acres of cattle j
.range in western Kansas are being i
ruined by these little creatures.
And now Representative Cone of !
Haskell county, has introduced a bill
asking for $10,000 to buy poison with
which to kill off the entire prairie dog
population. In many western counties j
the mounds in which the dogs live
are scattered by hundreds over the j
prairies, and these mounds are the
homes of countless thousands of the
rodents.
The dogs burrow into the ground and I
gnaw the roots of buffalo grass, the j
principal food of the great cattle herds j
of the west.
The prairie dog is not the only pest i
with which governments have had to i
carry on warfare. In Australia the j
jack rabbits have caused such destruc- j
tion of the grass that the people go j
out in-gre&t parties and make jack rab- j
bit round ups, or drives. Thousands j
are killed in these drives, but still the
creatures increase.
"Not What rt NVeded.

town one morning, and, dropping into
a hardware store, purchased a pair of I
ice tongs.
"I'm going to carry my own ice into
the house and put it into my refrigera- ;
tor," he said in explanation of bis pur- <
chase.
Two or three days later he again j
entered the store, bringing the ice |
tongs with him. Walking up to the

man said:
