July 8.—Gov-

or Macc*rkle stated to an Associated ess representative last nig^it- .that he ould try to induce the operators in the ,lkhorn and Bluefield districts to make ,n honest effort to resume work, and if they said they could not he would at •tmce order troops out to protect the .men who wanted to work. The governor says he is confident troops will Jhave to be ordered out. However, telegrams received at the statehouse from the Elkhorn region indicate that there is no cause for immediate apprehension of trouble there.

A dispatch was received from Lawless, a local labor leader in that section, stating he had ordered, all the strikers to cease carrying guiS? as per order of the governor, except two or three who •will act as his bodyguard, as lita says .his life has been threatened by sonte of -the guards employed by the companws.

The governor replied by saying -was glad to hear of a decision of leaders and warning him that turbulent? demonstrations must cease or troops wonld be called out to suppress them.

They came to America three years ago at the solicitation of Miss Howe, a missionary from Ann Arbor, and hardly knew a word of English. Each is 21 years old, and they graduate next year as M. D. 's.

Juvenile Litei'ature.

A mother, recently investigating the cause of her IB-year-old son's poor reports from school, discovered that he was reading himself stupid. Sho had rather prided herself on his evident fondness for books, and as all ho read were from good libraries and publishers she confidently thought there could not be too many of them. Yet children may read too much, just as they may eat too much. This particular mother fotuid that her son was taking books to bed with him, reading them late at night and waking at dawn to pore over them that his desk at school was full of them that, in fact, he was suffering from mental dyspepsia, the result of overfeeding with story books.

to its normal condition. All this, as has been said, with what aro called today "good" story books. A

child lover and child student While juvenile fiction is very attractive and is quite different from dime novel sensationalism, it has nevertheless a strong element of excitement. This fact is quickly discovered in attempting to write for any of the leading editors of children's reading. "Strong incident and spicy adventure," is their cry, and pictures of situations thrilling enough almost to satisfy the readers of a "penny dreadful" are not wanting between the covers of high ranking juvenile literature.—New York Times.

India's Intellleent Women. Mrs. Annie Besant's observations of women in India, during a recent visit to that country, led her to think them very intelligent, and while their standards and methods of education differ materially from those in other countries, according to their own estimate of learning, many of the women are highly educated. Reading and writing are not- a part of their education, however, as all their knowledge is acquired from "pundits," who go from house to house every week to give oral instruction in philosophy and literature to the entire household, so the memory is wonderfully strengthened by this process of training the mind quickly to grasp and retain all the information entirely independent of books for reference.

Indian women are peculiarly simple and childish in character, yet very different from Europeans of the same class. Northern and southern India, says Mrs. Besant, are two distinct countries in all the laws and customs which affect women. In the north the Purdah" is in full power, and the women look upon any publicity as an outrage, while in the south their position is quite different, yet men and women do not meet freely in society. Mothers and grandmothers have great influence and authority in the family and homo life, and in outside affairs as well, for an Indian will not act in a public mattei against the advice of either one. In southern India very young children are married, and if tho infant husband dies his yoajhful widow can never marry again

Naming a Girl Baby.

The most popular name to bestow on a baby girl at this time is Dorothy evidently, for out of 178 girls' names in the catalogues of the babies whose portraits were shown at a recent baby display 14 bore Dorothy. Next in favor was Marjorie, spelled eveii Marjourie. Ruth, which is generally supposed to be the favorite, owing to its connection with the White House, wasn't in the race for popularity, as only three infants were so named in the returns. Helen or Helene came next in favor, Kate or Katherine holding its own, and Mary and Marie were well ahead along with Gladys and Elizabeth. Such names as Beatrice, Josephine, Anita, Eleanor, Jessica, Alice, Madeline, Florence and Rachel were twice represented, but aside from that the Widest variety figured.

It is evident that much greater independence is shown now than formerly in christening the feminine portion of the population. When two or more children in a family were represented in the catalogue it looked as if there had been an attempt to select names in harmony. In one family there were Mauriel, Dorothy, Marion and Marjorie, a happy combination The most distinctive trio possibly were Honor, Gillian and Rufus Barr. If that family doesn't- turn out well then there is nothing in the effect of a name. Drenna was one of the oddest names Serane another. There were two Bettys, one dear Peggy, a Mollie, three Virginias, one Lorna Doone cind a Yolande.—New York Commercial.

They Don't Look Dowdy.

The newspaper woman perhaps has had more than her share of unjust criticism in regard to her personal appearance. She has been represented usually as being somewhat like Peggotty in regard to buttons as well as heedless as to boots and careless in regard to gloves, with hieroglyphics on her cuffs. There is no profession which offers so many difficulties in the way of keeping spick and span, for there is constant danger of entangling boot heels in unloosened dress bindings and facings on account of the haste which forbids the taking of "the etitch in time," but it is to the credit of women who are obliged to work from 10 to 15 hours a day that the majority of them pass among their sisters of leisure at receptions and teas without being conspicuous for careless attire.

A small coterie of newspaper women have solved the problem of preserving a neat and well dressed appearance at small expenditure by employing a gentlewoman in reduced circumstances to take charge of their wardrobes. The woman in question is an excellent seamstress and of refined tastes. She goes to their rooms, looks over every article of clothing, puts on bindings, buttons and braids, sews up rents and keeps everything in order and charges 20 cents an hour for this work In this way gowns may see hard service and still present a creditable appearance. —Exchange.

University Degrees For Womel Her majesty the queen having granted an amended charter to the University of Durham, whereby all its degrees henceforth, with the exception of divinity, will be open to women, all interested in the movement for the higher education of women will unite with us in congratulating the senate. We are pleased also to state that it is also about to establish a new degree in letters, with the title B. Litt., which will be of especial value to those whose tastes do not incline to science or medicine. We understand that a specially reduced composition fee, for all the instruction for a whole year in the subjects necessary to this degree, amounting to about only £15, has been arranged, and this, together with the reasonable rates of the women's hall of residence, will place this degree within the reach of all and at less cost than the ordinary boarding school charges. We would specially commend this to the notice of those who intend to qualify themselves for the profession of teaching

The Durham College of Medicine as well as the College of Science is situated for convenience in Newcastle-on-Tyne, and we aro convinced that this new privilege to bo accorded to women students will increase their numbers considerably and most heartily conjf'atulate the university upon the acquisition of this amended charter.—London Queen.

Be Cooks First.

Kate Field, the clever writer, addressed some remarks not long ago to a girl graduate, which are especially timely at this season. To be sure, they aro to be taken with a grain of salt, but they are none tho less valuable and suggestive:

gins become the brides eff the church are numerous in the Roman'Catholic church ani are not unknown among the Episcopalians, but the order of St. Monica is an order of widows, It is an Episcopal organization, and its head is Sister Caroline, the widow^pf the Rev. Ferdinand Ewer of New York. It was formed in 1884, but its members were somewhat! scattered and engaged in different pursuits until recently, when they have been invited to reunite at Springfield, Ills., and to take charge of an orphanage there. —Philadelphia Press.

Maude Andrews Ohl.

Mrs. Maude Andrews Ohl, chairman of the Atlanta press committee for the Cotton States exposition, is the most prominent woman writer in southern journalism. She is a member of the editorial staff of the Atlanta Constitution, having charge of the woman's department. She contributes a great variety of matter, and is a woman of remarkable ability and versatility. In addition to her regular work she finds time to write a good deal of poetry which finds its way into the high class magazines, being of a very high order of merit. Indeed it is in this branch of literature that she will find her greatest fame. Mrs. Ohl uses her maiden name, Maude Andrews, in all her work. She is a member of one of the famous families of Georgia.

A Colored Women's Convention. The Colored Woman's club will hold a convention in Boston during the month of August. The intelligent colored women of this country will be in attendance, and such important questions as the prevailing popularity of the lynch law and the general progress of thenrace will be the subjects under discussion. I understand that the methods of white women's councils have been silently condemned by tho leaders among the colored women, and in the coming convention, the first of the kind that has ever been held, there will be an effort made to improve on white women's councils, and an attempt at originality and method.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Summer Girl's Complexion. A delightful and simple and soothing lotion for the skin is witch hazel and cold cream, and as the summer girl's complexion must be as soft and clear as her skill at athletic sports, she should carry some of the cream in a dainty china box when she goes away. One ounce each white wax and spermaceti and quarter pint of oil of almonds. Melt, pour the mixture into a marble mortar which has been heated by being immersed for some time in boiling water add very gradually 8 ounces of rosewater and an ounce of witch hazel, and assiduously stir the mixture until an emulsion is formed, and afterward until the mixture is nearly cold.

A Riot of Colors.

A letter received from Paris says that never in our generation have such vivid colors been seen in outdoor wear. Pinks, blues and greens, with the brightest of reds and violets, are to be seen on all sides. Nothing approaching the present vulgarity has been seen since 1860. The parasol, which is now an important accessory to a lady's toilet, is of immense size, and red, violet, blue—all colors, in fact. Cornflower blue, however, is the greatest rage just now for hats, and the rage is increasing. The fashions of the Louis XVI period are reviving.

Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi.

Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi of New York is an ardent suffragist and one who ought to win converts to the cause in great numbers. She makes the strongest arguments in favor of the cause whenever she steps upon the lecture platform, and her manner is most convincing. Sho said at the annual festival of tho Massachusetts Suffrage association the other evening that a moral squint afflicted the entire Iranian race, and she gave such proofs as to leave little doubt in the minds of her hearers.— Boston Traveller.

A Great Success.

The meeting of the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's (Hubs in Newton recently was a great success. More than 800 women were present, many of them prominent in education, literature and society. Eighty-five clubs were represented by delegates. The reports show a vast amount of work accomplished. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was unanimously elected president for tho coming year.

A Point Gained In Maine.

Woman suffrage has made a point in Maine. The right of women to voiS in parish meetings of the Episcopal church in that state was granted at tho diocesan convention, held in Portland a few weeks ago, by a vote of 10 to 14. The right to hold office in tho church is still withheld.

Her Discovery Will Pay.

A woman in Maryland has discovered a means of preserving tomatoes whole, and with a strong semblance to their original freshness. A firm of dealers has made a contract with her to take her entire output for ten years at £1,200 a year.
