Women In Business and Social Life—The New Woman—Progress of Woman Suffrage—Mrs. Chaplin's Railroads—The Latest In Shirt Waits. Another brilliant business idea has come from the train of the new woman. It is a co-operative restaurant, and is to be operated in this city by the woman who evolved the scheme. At the corner of Jefferson avenue and Olive street is the famous restaurant owned by Mrs. Josephine Davis, who also conducts one at 2943 Olive street. Both these places are frequented by medical students—in fact, their patronage is the most important part of the restaurants' trade. Mrs. Davis started in a humble way, but her homelike cooking, pleasant ways and pretty waiter girls won their way to the hearts, or stomachs, of the young students, and she prospered. During these years Miss Emma Deane, by all odds the prettiest girl in either restaurant, has been Mrs. Davis' right hand man, in a figurative sense, and there was no reason why they should not get along well together, for the good fortune of each depended somewhat on the other; but a few weeks ago the difference of opinion which is sure to arise some time came up and the two parted. When the boys missed Miss Deane, there were many questions and a great "skips," or captains, of the opposite sides have charge of the sweepers' partments, and the sweepers have right to use their brooms after they has got beyond the line which marks the middle of the rink.

The Spirit o Winter The Spirit of Winter is with us, making it a presence known in many different ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse; for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, cataracts becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments. The medicine that cures them—Hood's Sarsaparilla—is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that its cures are radical and permanent. MISS EMMA DEANE. deal of talk. Of course the students found out she and Mrs. Davis had trouble, and some sided with one and others held opposite views. There were no fistic combatats, but it got so that the boarders glared at each other so hard across the table that they would choke over their food. Mrs. Davis tried to patch up a peace. She tried harder than ever to make her food tempting, but all in vain were the extra portions of pumpkin pie and cottage pudding, and even the fact that she had chicken twice a week instead of once failed to lessen the friction. What the result would have been is only a matter of conjecture, but one morning some of the faithful, as Miss Deane's constituents were known, held a meeting. No one knew the object when he entered the room, but Miss Deane was there, and she explained it She told them she could start a restaurant if they would all take so much stock. The amount from each would be small and the students would be secured from loss because they could eat up their stock if they desired. Miss Deane is to be manager, and if she is as good a proprietor as she is a talker she will be rich in a few months. She showed the boys how she would put aside so many dollars each week for the reserve fund. This would be put at interest, and, according to her figuring, in a short time the stockholders would be drawing money at each meal instead of paying it out. And so it was settled. A vacant store directly opposite Mrs. Davis' restaurant has been rented and is being fixed up with counters and tables.—St. Louis Republic. Best Liniment on Earth Henry D. Baldwin, Supt.

Many celebrated men have married their domestic servants. Sir Henry Parkes, premier of New South Wales, is an example. One night when dining at a friend's house he was struck by the appearance of a servant girl who waited upon the table and persuaded his host to allow her to enter his employ. This she did and for a short time held the position of cook in Sir Henry's household. Then he made her Lady Parkes. But more illustrious than this is the case of Peter the Great. One day he was dining at the house of Prince Menshikoff. He noticed one of the servant play games called by opposing teams of four and when it is at home curling is initially democratic.

It causes bunches in the neck, disfigures the skin, inflames the mucous membrane, wastes the muscles, weakens the bones, reduces the power of resistance to disease and the capacity for recovery, and develops into consumption. "A bunch appeared on the left side of my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced, and became a running sore. I went into a general decline. I was persuaded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and when I had taken six bottles my neck was healed, and I have never had any trouble of the kind since." Mrs. K. T. Snyder, Troy, Ohio. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills will rid you of it, radically and permanently, as they have rid thousands. Many celebrated men have married their domestic servants. Sir Henry Parkes, premier of New South Wales, is an example. One night when dining at a friend's house he was struck by the appearance of a servant girl who waited upon the table and persuaded his host to allow her to enter his employ. This she did and for a short time held the position of cook in Sir Henry's household. Then he made her Lady Parkes. But more illustrious than this is the case of Peter the Great. One day he was dining at the house of Prince Menshikoff. He noticed one of the servant maids particularly, and though she was not handsome, she caught his fancy. Her name, the prince told the czar, was Martha. She had been a servant in the house of a Lutheran minister of Marlenburg, and when that city was captured by the troops of Russia she had been taken prisoner by General Power, who had passed her over to the prince, whose servant she was. The count politely made a present of her to the czar, who eventually married her. William Cobbett, the great writer, when he was only twenty-one years of age one morning chanced to see a buxom servant girl busily engaged in washing the family linen. The girl was pretty, so Cobbett spoke to her, learned her name and the same evening called upon her parents and said he would like to marry their daughter. The parents of the girl informed the young man that they had no objections to him as their son-in-law, but that he would have to wait until their daughter was of a marriageable age. Five years later Cobbett, true to his early love, married her. Southey on Wordsworth. Of Wordsworth, Southey writes in 1808, says Harold S. Scott in The Atlantic: "He has written a masterly poem called 'The White Doe of Rilston Hall'; or, The Fate of the Nortons.' The poem is incomparably fine. It would amuse you to hear how he talks of his own production. His entire and intense selfishness exceeds anything you could have conceived. I am more amused at it than offended; not being sufficiently attached to him to feel pain at perceiving his faults, and yet respecting him far too much on the average of his qualities to be disgusted. It is so pure and unmixed a passion in him that Ben Jonson would have had him in a play bad he been his contemporary."

The game of curling has secured a place among the winter sports in parts of the country where there is ice and where there are Scotch-teach the game to their American neighbors. There are about 50 curls in the United States, and the National Curling club of America is a membership of many hundreds parts of the north and northwest, all the game is spoken of as "Scotch-curl game." The game is always played on ice and lakes or rivers, except in England where it is frequently played unassess roots by men whose white coats, straw hats, floral decorations and general lack of Scotch style the real curlers to regard them corn. Curlers who are members of the York clubs have their contests on Portland lake, and there is probable class of sportsmen who go about so seriously as they. Object of the game is to plant the big stone, which has a teakettle and weighs from 32 to 44 pounds, the "ten," or center of a circle at a size of 40 yards, and to guard it out to the stone the broom plays the important part in the game of rug, because in the hands of a person who is anxious to see the stone face to the circle where it will be wielded dexterously, so that particle of snow or ice may be used from the stone's course. The rocks, or captains, of the opposing have charge of the sweeping devices, and the sweepers have the ability to use their brooms after the stone not beyond the line which marks middle of the rink. The sweeping ways to a side or across the rink not forward or backward, where sweepings might obstruct the passage of a running stone. Curling games, called a bonspiel, are by opposing teams of four each, when it is at home curling is essentially democratic.

The King of France Took Possession of the Land Two Hundred Years Ago. In St. Nicholas there is an article on "The Great Lakes" by W. S. Harwood. Mr. Harwood says: While waiting for my steamer to be carried through canal locks of the Soo, I stood one summer day near a hill on which now stands Fort Brady, overlooking the rapids of the Soo as they flow from Lake Superior down into the St. Mary's river and so on to join at last the waters of Huron. On the top of this hill, as nearly as I could decide from the topography of the country, was witnessed two centuries and a quarter ago one of the most remarkable, one of the most significant scenes in the history of the new world. It has been brilliantly described, and I may but mention it. On June 14, 1671 a strange body of men was assembled on this hill. It was composed of four classes—the official representatives of the king of France, the Catholic missionaries, the voyageurs and the Indians. Weeks before word had been sent out to the chiefs of 14 of the different tribes of Indians in the region to meet at the Soo on the date mentioned. An immense cross of wood was made and carried to the top of the hill overlooking the swift flowing rapids. A stout timber with an engraved plate on it was set up near the deep hole in the ground which was to hold the foot of the cross. When all had assembled, St. Lusson, the representative of the king, lifted in one hand a clod of earth and in other his naked sword and in the name of his most Christian majesty the king of France took possession of the land, embracing in his assumption "all the region from the north to the south sea and extending to the ocean on the west." The cross was then raised before the motley throng—the representatives of the government in their most gorgeous suits, the priests in their rich vestments, the voyagers in their hunting garb of skins, the Indians in their most fantastic feathers and paint. As the cross assumed position the priests intoned a stately chant of the seventeenth century. Then the French exclaimed "Vive le roi!" while, as one historian puts it, "the Indians howled in concert." The plate upon the smaller timber bore an engraved description denoting the king's possession of the land. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148¼ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant.

Then the French exclaimed "Vive le roi!" while, as one historian puts it, "the Indians howled in concert." The plate upon the smaller timber bore an engraved inscription denoting the king's possession of the land. A SCENE IN SALONICA. The Jews and Jewesses that Inhabit the Heart of the Town. In the quiet ghetto in the allusion heart of the town, where the cobblestreets run slimy and it is people clatter with the butchers for the before of the slaughter house and broken block, you see the unchanged lay of the middle ages. Be he bearded grandmother or tiny boy, he wears a long rose gardine to his heels and the first of his mothers. He is well to do, the parment may be fur bordered or it may be of silk, but it could not more surely be soiled and greasy if the law required it so. With marriage this survival of the dark ages grows a beard full and thick and grizzled in the old men wary and black and very sparse in they younger heads of families. This is it in East Broadway and Chicago, and Berlin, but when you look upon the wires and daughters in Salonica's ghetto run we medieval characters who have stood in the east, but sent no representatives abroad. These Jewesies lute display and court admiration. They are much fairer than the men, milky skinned, with a pale pink flush, as if they were hothouse breed. Their clothes are gay, red, green and blue being their favorite colors, and the married women all wear decolletie bodices fashioned very low in front and showing a fancy shirt of embroidery and lace, which either reveals the mold of their forms or makes startling exposures of the forms themselves. Their chests are always quite bare. This in a land where the other women expose nothing but their eyes is all the more astonishing. On their crowns the Jewish matrons wear very showy, often beautiful, headaddresses, composed of a cap of red, green and yellow silk or cloth, that is carried down the back of the head in a bag that envelopes their tresses. Often these bags are finished at the bottom with heavy gold braid—"In the Wake of a War," by Julian Ralph, in Harper's Magazine.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties: No farms. Acres: Los Angeles: 6577 Bayou: 2885 Riveride: 2480 San Bernardino: 3590 San Diego: 2988 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties: Acres: Los Angeles: 8564 Bayou: 4150 Riveride: 3247 San Bernardino: 3787 San Diego: 16022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it.

Having suffered for seven years with weakness and bearing-down pains, and having tried several doctors and different remedies with no success, your Wine of Cardui was the only thing which helped me, and eventually cured me. It seemed to build up the weak parts, strengthen the system and correct irregularities." By "tired women" Mrs. Adams means nervous women who have disordered menses, falling of the womb, ovarian troubles or any of these ailments that women have. You can care yourself at home with this great women's remedy, Wine of Cardui. Wine of Cardui has cured thousands of cases which doctors have failed to benefit. Why not begin to get well today?

The ship's bell is the mariner's clock. The nautical day begins and ends at noon, when eight bells is struck. The bell is struck half hourly, day and night, one stroke being added for each half hour until eight is reached, when the count begins at one bell. In the United States navy the ship's bell hangs usually under the forecastle, but just forward of the foremast. The captain's orderly keeps the time and reacts to the officer of the deck the hour terms of "bells." The officer of the deck then bids the messenger of the watch strike the bell. There is somewhat more formality at eight bells than other times, f. then the hour is reported to the captain and the bell not struck until he has said, "Make it so." Here is the routine on board a man-of-war at 8 o'clock in the morning: The orderly says to the officer of the deck, Eight bells, sir." The officer of the deck replies, "Report to the captain eight bells and chronometers wound." The orderly then goes to the captain and says, "Eight bells and the chronometers sound, sir." The captain replies, "Very well; make it so." The orderly goes to the officer of the deck and says, "Make it so, sir." The officer of the deck says to the messenger of the watch, "Strike eight bells," and if everybody has been prompt the messenger strikes eight bells exactly 8 a.m.—Boston Post. Curious Biblical Fragments. While the Traillis written Bible was undoubtedly intended for the use of the grown up scholar, in whose case a fair acquaintance with the sacred volume would be assumed, we have another species of Biblical fragments, representing the "Reader Without Tears" of the old world. They are written in large, distinct letters and contain as a rule the first verses of the book of Leviticus, accompanied or preceded by various combinations of the letters of the alphabet which the child had to practice upon. Sometimes it is the fragments forming the conclusions of books, or, more correctly, of whole groups of books, such as the end of the Pentateuch, the end of the prophets and the end of the angiographa, that yield us important prices for these sets.

Ages 261 South Spring Street LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA $60 Grown up scholar, in whose case a fair acquaintance with the sacred volume should be assumed, we have another species of Biblical fragments, representing the "Reader Without Tears" of the old world. They are written in large, distinct letters and contain as a rule the first verses of the book of Leviticus, accompanied or preceded by various combinations of the letters of the alpha-met which the child had to practice upon. Sometimes it is the fragments forming the conclusions of books, or more correctly, of whole groups of books, such as the end of the Pentateuch, the end of the prophets and the end of the magiographa, that yield us important information, for in some cases they possess appendices or colophons that give the date of the manuscripts as well as the names of the owner and of the scribe. Occasionally we come upon a good holding, as when the colophon runs: This pentateuch (or psalter) was dedicated by N. NN., in the year — to the synagogue — It shall not be sold, it shall not be removed, it shall not be pawned. Cursed be he who sells, cursed be he that removes it," etc. London Globe. The Only Thing to Do. There was a time when the Illinois central railroad was being constantly used. This story illustrating the avidity plaintiffs is related by the Louisville Courier-Journal. Emily A. Storrs, the famous Chicago lawyer, was approached by an old man with a note one day. The note had been found among the effects of a deceased relative. "What's the nature of the note?" asked Mr. Storrs. "I don't know, sir," replied the old man. "Have you any idea who wrote it?" asked Mr. Storrs. "No, sir," answered the note learner. "Well, do you know anything about the note at all?" asked Mr. Storrs. "Nothing at all, sir," answered the old man. "Well," remarked Mr. Storrs thoughtfully, "the only thing I can see to do in the premises is to sue the Illinois Central Railroad." Simple Colds Cease to be simple, if at all prolonged.
