AFTER THEY ARE DIVORCED.
THE eleventh annual report of the
Commissioner of Labor contains
in tubulated form, reduced to ex
net percentages, a statement showing
the occupations of divorced women.
The divorced women constitute . nine
tenths of 1 per cent, of the ft male popu
lation of ten years of age or over in the
United States, anil they are distributed
throughout various occupations, which
the statistical experts have endeavored
to state with undeviating exactness.
Of the total number of divorced v'o
uien employed, it seems that .21 per
cent, are bookbinders, .1)8 are shoe
makers anil .(!() are corset-makers. A
much smaller proportion, .42, are sales
women, while .(it) are telegraph and
telephone operators. Stenographers
and typewriters make up .0 per cent,
and .58 are mill hands; 1.23 of the di
vorced women of the United States
who have any business occupation are
merchants, 1.04 are carpet-makers and
.40 are hat and cap makers. Milliners
come under a separate division, their
percentage of divorced women being
1.32. Of seamstresses there are 1.35,
and of clerks ami copyisls, 51. More
over, .2!) are boxinnkors, .08 printers,
.31 cigarette and tobacco makers, .04
In the confectionery business, 1.43
dressmakers, .40 paper mill operators
and 1.5 silk mills. The professions have
a considerable number of divorced wo
men, 1.24 being music teachers and
1.18 teachers of art,. There are 3.33
per cent, described as hotel, restaurant
and saloon keepers and barkeepers,
Hiid a somewhat larger proportion as
boarding or lodging house keepers; 1.02
as laundresses, 1.80 as nurses and .51
as agricultural laborers.

Stowaways are generally accredited
to lie beys, but when the steamer
Eugene was thirty miles away from

Mowed away In the engine room. She
was Mrs. 11. K, Stetson, the wife of a
man aboard the st.-nmor, who was go

To Market tiy Trolley.
An English trolley line, plying be
tween Bcssbrook and Xewry, through
a rich farming district, makes a sub
stantial addition to Its receipts by
hauling farm wagons over Its lines at
tached to the motor car, lu the place
of the trailer which Is sometimes wen.
lu order to keep the wagons ou the
track a second pair of rails Is laid In
side the working tracks and slightly
higher.
The towns at either end of the line
are lioth market towns, and the line
runs directly to the business center,
where the wagons are drawn aside and
mil Into their places by a half-dozen
Murdy men, who are paid a few police
each by the countrymen for this serv
ice. It Is, therefore, invisible for a
farmer to bring his produce to market
and dispose of It without the aid of his
horses. It Is not an uiK'ommon sight,
and always a rather amusing one, to
see a lumbering farm wagon loaded
with hay or produce Hying along be
hind the motor car on Its way to mar
ket. The farmers take kindly to this
scheme, as It Is a saving oX uiouey us
well as horseflesh.

James Payu tells of a divine who, on
passing a strange house, heard a voice
which said: "Go down and speak the

In a letter to one of his children Gui-

him about lt, and he says: "I ended by
asking her leave. If ever I wrote my
memoirs, like Sully or St. Simon, to

to ascend Helvellyn from Thirlnjere

agreed with his friend, when the latter
persuasively asked the guide, whowas
expatiating on the beauties of the
dawn: "Don't you think that the sunset
would be almost as beautiful?" This
recalls the undergraduate, who, when
rebuked by the dean of the college for
not coining to morning chapel, replied:
"But 7 o'clock Is such an Inconvenient

The late Prof. Jowett, during his con

deputed to take the professor round. A
long tramp they had, In the course of
which Jowett uttered not a word, while
the farmer was too much stricken with
awe to venture a remark. But when
the walk was almost done, the pro
fessor was roused to speech. Looking
over a stone wall, over a goodly field
of vivid green, he abruptly said: "Fine

A charming anecdote Is going the
rounds, which proves the devotion of
the German empress to her consort.
Kaiser Wllhelm was not long ago about
to leave Berlin and as he returned from
his dally drive be stopped at the Aus
trian embassy to visit the ambassador
before his departure. Some interesting
political event bad Just occurred and
the diplomat and his august visitor be
came so engrossed In conversation that
time sped on unnoticed. Suddenly the
emperor started and, glancing at his
watch, exclaimed with genuine con
sternation: "1 am too late! Pray con
nect the telephone with the palace; 1
should like at least to take leave of my
wife in that way." Ills majesty's wish
was instantly fulfilled and affectionate
messages were sent to and fro from the
imperial abode. When the last words
had been spoken the kaiser said, laugh
ingly: "That Is all rigid; we have still
tl few minutes left to continue what we
were saying." Almost Immediately af
ter, us the emperor was In the act of
taking leave of his host, one of the pal
ace carriages dashed up to the embassy

Handwriting of Famous People.
A Paris correspondent of London
Truth, discussing the handwriting of
famous people, says: Mollere auto
graphs are extremely rare and the most
valuable of those of the authors of le
grand slecle. The National Library
has one only a receipt written by
somebody else and signed J. B. P. Mo
llere. It is clear, strong, well accen
tuated, full of character and resem
bles Ferdinand de Lesseps. Louis
XIV.'s autograph is that of an ex
tremely busy man who had to write a
great deal. But It expresses a strong
personality. Napoleon's snaggled au
tograph is as well known as Shak
speare's. So Is Queen Elizabeth's. She
wrote often to Catherine do Medicis
and her sons. Elizabeth's signature
was always majestic and, so to speak,
In full dress. But when she was on
some crooked scheme intend the body
of the letter was the merest shorthand.
It must have been trying to read her
letters. They had to be read to be an
swered. But they generally beat about
the bush and were involved, unless she
was in a passion. Then she went
straight and swift to the point and the
handwriting was as clear as her words.
Marie Stuart was an .ancestress
through the Lorralnes of Marie An
toinette. The handwritings of both
Queens are alike. Mme. de Revigna, I
am sure, feared that If she were not
legible her daughter would complain
and perhaps throw her letter aside.
The daughter was not an amiable per
son, and was prone to find fault. The
mother tried often to Improve her
heart. Her moral reflections tire nice
ly baited with crisp (gossip. If they
were not, would they be read? Mine,
de Sevigne is not so legible or so gos
sipy when she writes to her son, or
her uncle, the abbe, or to her cousin,
Bussy de Rabutln, but is not less love
ly, and rises to higher heights of
thought nnd feeling. Mme. de Grig
nan was a prig. How strange that
such a mother could have had a prig
gish daughter! Perhaps she was
changed at nurse. The sou was charm
ing, but a ne'er-do-well. Mme. de
Malnteuon was an able woman and a
good woman of business. She was dig
nified in manner, prudent, and, Indeed,
cautious. One sees that she weighed
her words well before she committed
them to paper. There Is dash and
strength In the callgraphy of the Trin
cess des Ursins. She drew her Inspira
tion from her Inkpot, and felt quite
sure that her pen would not hurry her
Into any blunder. Victor Hugo wrote
largely to keep his sight. He reached
the age of 82 without ever wearing
spectacles. He also wrote standing,
so as to be able to walk about when
Ideas did not run freely to the point of
his pen.
Louis Philippe also wrote big very
big and without glasses. Louis Na
poleon's signature Is remarkable, but
otherwise he wrote like a clerk. The
"N" Is daring, the other letters steal
quickly and unobtrusively on, and then
there Is a great flourish at the end.
One sees the author of the Slrasburg at
tempt and of the coup d'etat in the
first and last hitters of his name. The
quiet conspirator Is betrayed In the
others.
Sugar Invigorates the Holy.
Experiments of an interesting nnturs
have lately been made at the instiga
tion of the Prussian war office to en
deavor to decide the question as to
whether the consumption of small
quantities of sugar renders the tired
muscles capable of renewed exertion.
In order to obtain a practical result,
the person who was made the subject
of the experiment was kept totally Ig
norant of the object of the experi
menters. On one day a sweet liquor
was administered, containing thirty
grams of sugar; on the next day a sim
ilar liquid, containing a sufficient
amount of saccharine to render it in
distinguishable from the other as re
garded taste. After a very large
amount of muscular work had been
performed It was found that better re
sults could be obtained on the day
when the sugar was given than on thi
days when saccharlue was given. The
blood had become very poor In sugar
In consequence of the severe muscular
effort ,and the administration of a
comparatively small quantity of sugar
had a markedly Invigorating effect. -New

Texas Is fighting upon her own
ground this terrible little tick which is
now believed to spread the cattle fever.
Dr. Victor or-
'gaard, chief of the
division of pathol
ogy in the bureau
of animal industry
at Washington, Is
conducting experi-
" ' " St monts at the ex-
V J pense of the own:
ent, akotcd tic! em of the great
stock yards at Fort Worth. The meth
od Is to swim the cattle through a
large tank containing a mixture
which It is hoped will destroy the
ticks on them. These experiments are
made by clipping the cattle infested
with ticks into a carbolic preparation,
"chloro-naphtholeum," manufactured
by a New York company. To properly
make these interesting tests required
the building of special pens and shoots
and a large vat to contain the chemical
for dipping.
The actual work of dipping the cat
tle is interesting. They were driven
by way of a shoot into the pen at the
head of the vat. From this they were
it
tUPPINO APPARATUS.
driven through the narrow shoot, one
at a time, on to a metal covered trap
door that lies horizontally with one
end projecting over the vat. This door
is fixed on a horizontal pivot, and when
the animal reached the far end his
weight would bear It down and before
he would know It he would plunge
head first into the chemical bath be
low. The animal Is completely submerged
by the fall into the six feet of fluid and
upon rising cannot escape from the In
voluntary bath without swimming
over twenty feet to the other end of the
vat, where the ascent is an Inclined
plane provided with footholds. At the
top the steer Is allowed to stand for
awhile and drip, when the gate Is open
ed and he Is allowed to go with his
fellows Into pens prepared for their re
ception. These pens are carefully ex
amined at certain intervals after being
dipped and notes taken. They are
driven' back to the vat and redlpped If
found necessary.
So far It does not appear that the ex
periments have proved a decided suc
cess, the end in view having been only
partially attained. Experiments are
now being continued, with the addition
of West Virginia black oil, frhlch, It is
promised, will destroy all the ticks.
A Folding Rack.
It Is often convenient to have a rack
or crib in a place that at other times
must be used for other puriwses. A
folding rack will be found very con
venient for such a situation. A design
for this Is shown In the sketch, taken
from the American Agriculturist. The
bottom hinges at the back to the wall,
and at the front It hinges to the front
of the crib. The whole Is held to the
wall and ceilings as suggested. The
ropes attached to the wall will not
have to lie unfastened In order to fold
the rack down closely against the wall.
Stunting Plus He fore Birth.
It Is not so geuerally appreciated as
It should lie that the breeding sow

growing pig will require. Sows fed
heavily on corn fatten, and bring thin,

to care for themselves. Such pigs will
never do so well os those whose dams
were fed milk and wheat bran with
some kind of roots while bearing their
young.' These will have good diges.

stunted pig will never fully recover
from the Improper nutrition it received
before it was farrowed.

formerly, but are turning their atten
tion to the production of mutton of the
best quality. Although there are
fewer sheep now than a few years ago,
yet the value of sheep is much more.
.There is nlso an improvement in keep
ing and feeding sheep, th6 hillsides,
with exposure in winter, being the lot
of sheep In former years.
Fow Potatoes Exhaust Land.
As the potato is so largely water It
might be supposed that It Is not at nil
exhaustive. But the potato crop Is
always sold from the land, instead of
being fed on It. The only thing that
the potato takes from the soil is pot
ash, and this Is largely found In its
leaves nnd stems. The tubers also
contain some potash, and It Is this
which blackens ihe knives tuv.l hands
of those who peel and cut potatoes.
A large crop of potatoes it is estimated
will take one hundred pounds of pot
ash per acre from the soil. Only heavy
land can stand this drain. Kven what
potash, such soils contain is largely un
available, because it has combined
with sand and has formed a silicate
of potash. Sandy soils are generally
deficient in potash, and what they
have Is not in an available form for
use' by crops.
Overshirta for Stable Use.
There is much dirty work about the
stable, which, together with hairs from
animals, will make the clothes dirty
and extremely offensive. It Is the
habit of some men who take pride in
their personal appearance, as every
one should, to have made two stout
shirts, one of which can lie slipped on
quickly before the stable work Is done.
This prevents the necessity of carry
ing stable odors into the house. Most
of the chores about the stable are done
before breakfast, aud there will be a
better appetite for the first meal of
the day if stable odors are kept out
of the room. It will also effect a great
saving, of clothes to keep them free
from these odors, which require fre
quent washing to remove.
Scorched Grain for Hens.
Where hens are fed large amounts of
corn newly husked, and not thorough
ly dried, their digestive apparatus be
comes disordered. This is often reme
died by beating the corn to the point
of scorching. Hens will eat this
scorched corn quite readily, and they
will be the better for it. But partly
burned oats where the hulls are burn
ed off and only the blackened grains
are left are even better than scorched
corn. This is really the best way to
feed oats to hens. The hulls mnke
the food more bulky than is best for
them, ns their crops are limited, and
the light, chaffy grain does not give
sufficient nutrition for the best egg
production.
Cheap Drinking Fountain.
Not every farm is supplied with run.
nlng streams where the poultry can get
good water when they want it, espe
cially the young
chickens, turkeys
and goslings. A
correspondent of
the Orange Judd
Farmer bought
several three-gal-1
o n galvauized
dkinkino fountain. P'i"s for 17 cent?
each and Borne small pans for 10 cents.
A small hole was made In the bottom
of each pail, which was then filled
with water and set In the middle of a
shallow pan. A board cover was placed
on top. A space of one and one-half
Inches between the pall and the outside
of the pnn is sufficient. This allows
plenty of room for drinking, but the
young birds cannot get Into the water
and foul it. Care should be taken to
have the hole In the bottom of the pall
quite small.
Grains for Producing Pork.
Experiments In this country and
Canada, extending over a period of sev
eral years, with different grains for
producing pork show that to produce
one pound of pork requires about 4
pounds of barley, which makes the bar
ley worth 50 cents a bushel In the form
of pork. With wheat a pound of pork
was mnde from 4Vi pounds, returning
70 cents per bushel. Pork from corn
required 4Vj pounds of corn, making
the value of the corn In the form of
pork 03 cents per bushel. At market
prices barley, 25 cents; wheat, 55
cents, and corn, 33 cents the pork cost
2,4 cents from barley, 4 cents from
wheat nnd 2.85 cents from corn.
Potato Disease In Ireland.
The disease which is destroying the
potato crop in Ireland Is known as
"Phytopliora Infestans," and prevails
more ou moist soils than where the
land Is dry, though ory soils are not
free from the disease. It generally
affects the tubers late in the season,
and frequently the attack is sudden
oud fatal. It begins as a single sinit
on the leaf, spreading to the entire
plant, prevailing mostly during damp
weather. Where the potatoes have
been sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
the disease seems to be checked.
Dunking Iturn with Ptone,
When basement barns are built, it Is
often necessary to bank up against
them to make a driveway on the first
floor. Loose stones are often used for
this purjiose, but this Is sure to be re
pented of later, as the loose stones
make a refuge for rats from which it U
