The council also resolved to furnish a

birds for the solo purpo-io of ornamentation,
and that it auks American women to imitate
tho example of tho Princess of Wales, who
has forbidden tho uso of tho plumage of siuu
ius birds on her toilets.
Congratulatory letters wero received
from many distinguished people. J. G.
Whittier, the venerable poet, writes as
follows:
I am clad to seo tho call for a council of
philanthropise women, lor the purposo of
uniting thu various societies of reform and
progress in n unind confederation, which will
conserve thohiKhestKood of tho family and tho
-state, and which will oppo.o every form of in
nomnco and injustice. It is a noblo idea and
full of promise.-.. Wo need tho strength which
comes from unity of n inpathy and purpose. 1

watch the profcedluics of tho council witli deep
interest and with earnest prayers for its suc

Tho new president will soon issue an
address, and tho first annual conference
of the executive committee will be held
in May. Steis will bo taken at onco for

council will always bo held in Washing

Like twoglittering serpenrstho slender
blades bifurcate tho air, twining and in
tertwining in flashing lines that change
too rapidly for the eye to follow. The
martial ring of steel makes cheerful
music, and tho heavH r breasts of tho
opponents tell plainly that they are well
pitted against each other. But these
are not sturdy boys training the brawn
and hinew and skill of their young limbs.
They are two charming damsels en
gaged in an assault at arms under tho
eyes of their teacher. Tho fair com
batants wero Mis Mildred Holland and
Miss Mabel Marsh.
Very unlike they were in physical
equipment. Miss Holland, a petito
brunette of flashing eyes and marvelous
agility, and M iss Marsh, u slender, grace
ful blonde, considerably taller, with soft
glance and of demure mein. But though
she looked as if she couldn't harm a fly,
Miss Marsh stood her ground admirably,
and her flexible wrist instantly responded
to ever- thrust made at her face, chest,
arms and hands. It was a decided case
of givo and take. Tho spectacle theso
two charming young women afforded,
with everv nerve and muscle on the
alert, with picturefnuo poses that
changed with kaleidoscopic rapidity, was
an aesthetic pleasure. The veteran pro
fessor, ancient Col. Monstery, stood by
in close proximity, with foil raised on
high, leady to check tho excessive ardor
of these charming champions. And as
tho ribbons of i-teel clashed, joined ami
sundered, the old veteran called out:
"Tie!"
Charge!"
"Disengage!"
"Coup.z!"
I "Now a counter tiercel"
1 "Excellent soptimo!"
' "Battez mains!"
And so tho hints and the instructive
phrases fell from his lips with lightning
speed, but often not quite enough to
save this or that one of his pupils from a
thrust. For they were evenly matched,
these pretty girls, though Miss Holland,
the champion of tho west, had evidently
somewhat the advantage Chicago

New Officers fur Sorosii.
' The annual election of officers in So
rosis has taken place. Tho fact that Mrs.
Ella Dietz Clymer, who has presided
with such grace and dignity over all
Sorosian high festivals, had declined with
thanks to do further duty as president,
added importance and interest to the
occasion.
v The result is a fresh disclaimer to the
theory that women cannot agree, for not
only were a full list of officers chosen,
but Dr. Jennie 31. Lozior received the
ummimous vote of tho members prent.

Colors for Spring.
Tills coming spring is to be character
ized by Knne of the most remarkable
things in the way of wraps that New
York has ever seen. For one thing,
color will run riot in these. No moro
plain black or dark blue or gray littlo
coats, but yellow, if you please, the most
brilliant, steeped-in-sunshino yellow.
Or, if not that, a Polish coat of bright
scarlet, with a white vest and gold
braid, and gold cords and buttons. Or
white broadcloth or corduroy, fitting as
snugly jis the bodice, with vest of gold
braiding and high epaulets. And hussar
coats of bright blue, and short Spauisli
conks of palo gray cloth, lined and
slashed with scarlet. Or, even more
likely to bo worn than till these, are tho
circular cavalier capes, reaching below
I ho waist, very full and very straight,
and gathered at tho neck into a very
high collar.
These will lie of all colors and cloths,
lined with bright silk and finished
about the edge with a heavy cord
of silk or of gold thread. And
then there will bo more gold or silk
cord. Perhaps it will bo passed about
the neck, fastening the garment in front
and falling in loop3 and ends. And
perhaps there will bo loops of it knotted
on the shoulders and looped so as to
form epaulets on tho shoulders. These
are only a few of the possibilities. When
they are developed they will bo certain
to result in the most daring and smart
little garments tho promenades havo
ever seen. New York Evening Sun.
One Year's Work.
At the annual convention of tho
American Women's Christian Temper
ance union, recently held in Atlanta, tho
report of the young women's depart
ment by Mrs. Frances Barnes, of New
York, showed that 2,000 young men
have enrolled themselves as honorary
members of the Young Women's Chris
tain Temperance union during tho year
in addition to the (1,000 last year. Tho

Helen G. Rice, of Massachusetts, show
ed !,892 companies of children organized,
with a membership of 210,000. In con
nection with the Women's Christian
Tenipenine-' union there are organiza
tions in forty-four states, four terri

A Iluflalo Jiiiruallt.
Miss Jane Meade Welch, who has at
tained such brilliant success in this city
as a lecturer on American history, is a
writer of much force, grace and origi
nality. She is entitled to tho distinction
of being the lirnt woman who acquired
celebrity as a newspaper writer in Buf
falo. A few years ago, after overcoming
a strong feeling of timidity, sho consent
ed to try to edit a column of society
news in Tho Buffalo Courier. Her first
batch of manuscript was addressed per
sonally to her friend, the lamented Da
vid Gray, who was the editor-in-chief of
that newspaper. He, without consulting
Miss Welch, attached, the nom de pluino
"Nemo" to her "copy." Tho first pub
lication created a sensation. Never be
fore had society news been handled so
intelligently, so accurately and so clev
erly in a Buffalo paper. "Who is Nemo?'
was on everybody's tongue, but so care
fully was the secret of authorship pre
served that for two years that eager
question remained unanswered. Finally,
when Miss Welch became one of tho reg
ular editorial writers for Tho Courier,
tho riddle was solved, and everybody in
society wondc-red that he had not guessed
it before. New York Times.

Among tho new and unexpected occu

gardener of tho gentler sex, in which all
tho details of gardening at tho different
seasons of tho year will bo practically

cil of tho Sanitary institute in London
Miss Margaret Scott, lecturer on domes
tic economy aud hygiene, is placed in
tho unique position of "Iwing tho only
lady in Great Britain duly qualified to

Scott considers it the absolute duty of
women to acquaint themselves with the
principles of that much neglected feci

There aro some original methods of

"At a danco the other evening," said a
young woman, "a man whom I havo
been meeting out all winter stared at mo
curiously for a moment, then passed on
without bowing or speaking. Later ho
caino to me with an explanation: 'Do
you know. Miss Z,' he said, 'I didn't rec
ognize you this evening when I first saw
saw you? I havo never until tonight
seen you without your lxmnet.' For a
moment I could hardly believo this pos
sible, but a little reflection assured mo
of its truth.
"I had never encountered him at a

many days 1 have simply lived in mino

the morning. Perhaps I changed it threo
or four times with different gowns, but
I was not bonnetlesa till midnight,
which," she finished wisely, "is perhaps
why millinery is such a paving business."

Girl KxprrHAloiiK.
Every season women utter new excla-
' mations of 'delight. Nothing is jierfectly
lovely or perfectly splendid any more.
Julie Gordon, in her "Successful Men,"
makes a guest refer to a stono pavilion
as "a dear." Men like Barrymora, Kel
cey and Andres Dipple are called by
their several classes of admirers "a love."
Efiio Shannon "is just sweet." Dorothj
Tcnnant Stanley is called "so violetty."
Bernhardt "is adorable tho way sho
walks." Things like Miss Leary's Lenten
sewing classes are mentioned among tho
"very extraordinary," and tho successful
artists are "quite clever," and if their
new books and pictures aro "not bad"
they aro altogether admirable. Now

Nothing is moro inspiring than a chat
on franchise for women with Mrs. C. C.
Ellerson. Her pocketbook and her sym
pathies havo been with women from her
early childhood. She hits endowed art
schools and libraries in female colleges
until her name is a household word in
every American university. Sho has
now crowned all previous efforts by
erecting and furnishing a free school for
Indians in Indian Territory, as well as
by interesting others who have aided by
supplying teachers. Mrs. Ellerson is a
soul enthusing woman full of nervo.

An Elaborate Essay on
the Dairy.
ECONOMY OF AMPLE FEEDING
Practically Illustrated Lino Fences
Said to Bo the Cause of Quarrels
Between Neighbors.
Tho Bible says: "The lilKsrul man
deviseth hlienii things, and by liberal
things slinll he stand." Thero is no
truer doctrine to apply to dairying than
this, says IhmuVa Dairtjmnn. ' The past
winter "has demonstrated it to a dot.
The prices of grain feed wero high
higher than has Wen known in years.
Bran reached as high in Wisconsin aa
$22 a ton, and oats are now worth in this
market Go cents a bushel. Bran is now
selling here at $lt! a ton. Fine cteamory
butter in tho winter ran to I12 cents, av
eraging, we think, from January to April
1 at least 20 cent p.
With this situation in view thousands
of farmers in this State and all over the
West bade farewell to their dairy judg
ment and went deliberately at work to
put their cows on short rations. The
consequence is the nverage herds in this
State are coming into spi ing pasture in
iioorer condition than we have seen them
for vears. Butter is still hie.h, consider
ing'the season ot the year, but the cows
arc in poor condition to do profitable
work There seems to be a great lunacy
in tho minds of a great many tanners in
regard to feeding cows liWrally. They
will feed a nog well if corn is never eo
high, for thoy will say " we can't expect
to get anything for the pork it it is not
fit for market." That is all sound sense.
They will keep their horses in trood work
ing condition, for the rprim: work must
be'tlono. All true. But when a bushel
of oats with a little good hay will pro
duce three pounds of butter worth at
their doot 07 cents, they will refuse to feed
the oats and mnke nasto to sell them for
55 cents. New England dairymen have
for years paid in the neighborhood of 20
a ton for bran ; sometimes moro. Yet
thev buy it, and whero thoy havo good
butter cows to feed it to they make
money swapping bran for nutter. As a
square proposition no dairymen can af
ford to let a herd of good cows got in a
low condition. He not only robs him
self of a chance for present gain, but he
seriously cripples his future.
It is just tliis constant tendency to
hold a penny so close to the eye thnt a
golden eagle cannot lie soen on the other
side of it that cuts the sand from under
tho feet of the average dairyman. If we
look around, wo can see everywhere evi
dence enough to satisfy a reasonable man
as to tho best policy to pursue. In nil
places it is the liberal feeder who makes
the most money. His skeptical neighbor
will say : " I can't see how he does it j
ho pays so much for feed." Nevertheless
he does it. There has not boon a day
the past year that feed has been so Pigh
but what a dairyman with n cow that
would yield three-fourths to a jiound of
butter a day could richly afford to give
her all she could economically consume.
Tho troublo with the men who talk dif
ferently is that not one in a thousand
has any figures to show for his belief.
They have nothing but more guesswork
to stand on. Is it not about time that
every dairvmnn established a foundation
of knowledge? It will bo mighty im
portant for him to know pretty soon
whether he is guessing to his good or ill,
Line Fences.
One of the most frequent causes of
quarrels between neighbors aro tho line
fences. Tho expemo entailed on this
account, fays the I'rairie Farmer, to say
nothing of the worry and trouble, is in
ninny caBes sufficient to have put up a
stock-proof fence for both parties, and
on account of a difference between them
Wth will put up and maintain a separate
fence with a "devil's lane" between
them. Certainly such n courso cannot
be considered piofitablo to either. While
it is always best to avoid difficulties, even
to tho extent ot giving in a little rather
than to quarrel, yet when an agreement
cannot be reached satisfactorily Wtween
neighbors it will be far better for both
to call inonoormoredisinteiested neigh
Wrs ami let them decide what would be
right rather than to go to law.
It is, of course, right and just that
each owner should put up nnd maintain
his shaie ot the line fences, and that
these should bo ytock-proof. This is hog
tight, mu'o-high and bull-strong. Yet
oecasionallv, even with a really good
fence, unruly stock will break through.
But it is Wtter to disposo of animals of
this kind as soon ns possible and for
each to keep up his portion, and in doing
thiBtoworkon the plnn of tho golden
rule to do yourself as you would havo
your neighlxirdo.
Plank and wiro fences with good posts
will notonl lessen the trouble between
neighbors, but will take up less land and
afford 'ess room lor weeds, briers or peste
to thrive, and while it is an item to dis
pense with all unnecessary loncing it is
very important to have what is used
good, and especially line fences. If you
must nave some poor jences, ici it do
those which keep your own stock out of
your own fields, so that if any damage is
done U will bo your own stock that will
get the benefit.
flrowlns Celery.
Richness and plenty of inoiiiture are
essentiul for soil to grow celery on. A
mucky soil is usually preferred, as even
if drained it holds moisture a long time
a few inches Wlow the surface. Home
active nitrogenous manure is far better
to put in the trench than a large mass of
coarse manure that is often used by those
unaccustomed to this crop. Coarse,
strong manure furnishes more heat than
is needful for celery, while it destroys
the moisture on which more than aught
elfco tho success of the celery grower
depends.
Oiiltlvutlni; After Holn.
After everv heavy rain soil that haa
any clay in its composition will form a
crust on its surface. The water that dries
off or evaporates leaves all its mineral
constituents behind, nnd this forma
crust. These mineral elements are solu
ble, and if cultivated under they make
excellent plant food,
