Mrs. Mattie McGee Taplin of Sidney, l^eb., is a lady -whose striking personality and

:og

womanly qualities,

not less tl^. _.er interest in and connection with western sheep husbandry, will commend her to the friends and patrons of the golden hoof throughout the country. Mrs. Taplin was born in Preston county, W. Va., was educated in the public schools and at Fairmount Normal school of that state and for ten successive years taught in the public schools of her native county. In 1886 she removed to David City, Neb., and after teaching two terms in Butler county determined to become a landowner and found a sheep ranch in the wild west In pursuit of this purpose she journeyed to Cheyenne county in company with her cousin, Miss Minnie McGee, and the two girls filed up on adjoining homesteads, near Sidney, in the spring of 1887, and built a sod house on the line of the two claims, so that the fair claimants could both sleep under the same roof and yet each sleep on her own chosen homestead.

Cheyenne county was little more than a beautiful wilderness, with few sottiers. in those days, but Mattie McGee and her cousin Minnie were brave, dauntless, self helpful women, quite equal to the demands of the day and oo-

casion, und while'Mtnnie kept house and "hold down" the "claims" Mattie taught the children of the new settlers until it began to dawn upon the gallant frontiersmen about her that she was a young woman of rare executive gifts, as well as oulture and courage, and in the fall of 1889 they eleoted her superintendent of general instruction for Cheyenne county, a position whidh she honored with marked administrative ability for four year», at the ond of which she returned to David City and taught in the city schools until June, 1805. wheq she was married to Mr. Eugene Taplin, an ,e*t?nnvo shoop ranchman of Cheyenne county, *n loOsi, Mrs. Tupiin invested $800 of her earnings in 250 yearling crossbred Lincoln-Merino owes and leased them for ono-hnlf the wool and increase, the wool paying her liberal interest on the investment and the inorease augmentTing the flock until it now numbers 660 sheep. The marriage of our fair and level headed shepherdess to the fortunate ranchman brought with it a union of flooks and ranches as well as of hearts, and tho mistress of the "greater" ranch writes us with evident pride and pleasure that' 'a finer lot of sheep mt^y not be found in western Nebraska.''—American ir heep Breeder.

Sotno Facte About the Shirt Waist.

About shirt waists the last word by any moans has not been said—not until all women learn to put them on properly.

Shirt waists appear to be most simple of arruuttfemertt One who trios to dress •with care does not find thorn so.

First, the artiole must fit well, which means that a reasonable price should have been paid for it Then it must have been laundered skillfully before it |s worn at alL Many women see that something, they know not what mars the freshness of their costume. The starch is out of the sleeves or, with the starch yet in, they have become mussed. A shirt waist that is not perfectly tidy is not fit to wear. Consciously or unconsciously, it detracts from cue's dignity and offends those who see it

Beneath the shirt waist a tight fitting corset cover must be worn. It should not be overburdened with lace, or this will mar the neatness of the outer garment For the same reason a chemise, no matter how attractive its design, hopelessly would misshape any laundered waist worn over it Numbers of women hare'not found out that fact And they put on full chemises, with raffles and ruffles, which form miscellaneous ridgos through their waists. Then they wonder why some other woman, who is wearing a corset cover and not a chemise, presents an appearance so much more trim.

Another difficulty is in keeping the belt tine smooth. Unless this is done is a blouse effect where none is itended. The cheaper waists are without drawing strings. But where these are ou they are insufficient to keep the belt liae defined.

One woman has found that a narrow width of woven belting, hooked closely about the waist over the shirt does away with this Mgging, if safety pins are used to secure the shirt to it Then, if eyes are placed on the skirt and hooks upon the belt the dross may be held to* feet her tidily. The outer belt then hardly will slip in that unpleasant way we so often see-

Small safety pin*, however, must be «ed or they will make lumps whichj

will be visible through the leather silken belt.—New Tack Press.

Bones and Low Gowns.

Whenever I see a very thin woman in a decollete gown, I can't help thinking of that picture published in one of the comic weeklies some years ago, the aoene being a private box at the opera.

One of the gentlemen of the party wants to applaud a singer and tries to get rid of his hat which he is holding. In an absentminded way he hangs it on the exposed shoulder blade of one of his very spare women guests and then claps his hands vigorously.

At a little informal reception I met just such a thin person one night last winter, and her display of bone was really most remarkable.

Through some fatality she "chum med" during the entire evening with a lady of mammoth proportions, whose autumnal exuberance of figure, as Wilkie Collins would say, was so great that she quivered and shook whenever she moved.

Really, the twain, as they stood side by side, looked so much like an advertisement of "before and after taking" that I couldn't keep a straight face as I looked at them, and so hardly blamed the little boy who asked loudly of his mother: "Say, ma, what makes the fat lady so fat and the lean lady so lean?" "Hush, my child, hushl" "I guess one eats too much oatmeal and the other don't eat enough. My, ain't she bony?" "Hush, this moment! Do you hear me?" "Yes'm. But if I had bones like that I'd cover 'em up, wouldn't you?"

And I really couldn't help agreeing with him,-—Polly Pry in New York Recorder.

Women's Influence For Parity

Frances E. Willard, in her recent address before the British Women's Tem perance association in London, said:

We wish to bring the influence of women to bear upon the books read by children and young people, and the pictures, statuary and dramatio representations that are placed before them, so that temptations shall be diminished and incentives to pure living increased. The standard of the home is the best and most reasonable, since the largest part of the average life is spent at home, and whatever tends to bring to its bright sanctuary t_e taint of unclean thought or action strikes a blow at the very heart of the people's life. The motto of those who work along these lines is,

We come not to destroy, but to fulfil not to break down, but to build up." We reoognize the beauty and charm of the intellectual and artistio life. Our principle is set forth in that familiar declaration of John Wesley, "We do not propose to let the devil have all the good tunes.' Neither do we propose to let him have the attractive books, amusements and picture galleries, for these are all adjuncts of a beautiful home life and must be for the greatest number's good and guarded for their use and pleasure, rather (ban disregarded in order that the publisher, picture dealer and theatrical manager may make larger profit^ These J?ien have no patent on the oeauty charm of genius and the world,

Feminine Farmers,

A good many of our agricultural colleges have women among their students, but few of them make serious work of making women farmers.

In Germany the first Garten bausohulo Fur Frauen was opened by Fraulein Dr. Castner at Friedenau, near Berlin, on Oct 1, 1894. The first class of seven members will be graduated from that institution next fall, when one of the graduates will enter as teacher a similar school reoently established at Riga, in Livonia.

On Oct 1 next the second institution of the kind in Germany will be opened on the estate of the Baroness von BarthHarmating, near Plauen, in Saxony. The courses of study, extending over two or three years, include not only the most varied branches of gardening and horticulture, but also such scicntific and commercial instruction as is needed for the successful pursuit of the business. Two students of the first named school have already established themselves on rented land and proved the profitableness of the occupation. It is also said that there is a demand for thoroughly trained female horticulturists as superintendents of the gardens on large estates. The fact that these new institutions are intended for women is emphasised. In January last a society for the promotion of the support of women by means of fruit culture and gardening was formed, of which Fraulein Anna Blum of Spandau is secretary.

To D« Another Wbite Be—on.

White is very much worn again this season. In the park one now sees many fresh white gowns. A lovely one was worn the other afternoon by a pretty young marchioness. The skirt was of the new alpaca and the bodice was of silk muslin in a deep shade of cream color, with a white chiffon vest A White straw hat was worn with pink roses and bright frosh little touches of green. The creamy bodice with the white skirt looked all right, although it does not sound sa The juncture between the two was cleverly effected by means of a green watered ribbon sash veiled in white chiffon. A perfectly plain white sunshade was carried.

The small loose backed coats are much seen about now and frequently prove most becoming. One of opalescent shot glace silk was worn the other day at a smart function over a skirt of embroidered grass lawn over silk of the same kind. The ooat was finished with a collar and revets faced with appliques of houiton Ifee embroidered on with small opal shot sequins. The grass lawn skirt was embroidered in lines flecked with

A Bermuda Woman's Club.

Bermuda, thanks to Brooklyn, is to have a woman's club. A club woman from the City of Churches, visiting the island, found that Bermuda women were culpably lacking in interest in the matter of feminine organizations. She immediately set to work, and the result is a growth of clubs, mushroomlike in suddenness and number, at least Among those interested is Mrs. Hastings, niece of the late Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes and wife of General Hastings, the man who first introduced lily oulture in Bermuda. The president of one olub is Mrs. Arton, the daughter of a member of the council. The council corresponds to the English house of lords. Mrs. S. S. Ingham, wife of a member of the council, is president of the other organization. Both societies want, to join the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs.-—New York Journal.

A Brave Woman.

All the brave women did not die with Joan of Aro, and the English people arcgrumbling because the home secretary did not mention to the queen the name of Miss Alfard for the Albert medal, given for heroic conduct. It is the universal opinion she deserved it Mis: Alfard is a nurse in Kimberley, South Africa, and was sent to attend a case of pneumonia in Bechuanaland. When she arrived there she found herself in the midst of a smallpox epidemic. She had no one to help her, but was not dismayed. She immediately started a hospital on a rude plan and nursed, unaided, 200 native and 20 white patients, losing out of that large number only one woman and two children, a record of which many physicians with all modern conveniences and a corps of trained assistants would be proud.

Radcllffe Women.

The Kadcliflfe women look much more like representatives of Harvard university in their college caps and gowns. Last year there was not quite enough academic reality in the vision of the Radcliffe candidates for Harvard degrees at their first appearance on the stage of Sanders theater. But this year the deficiency is made good, and alma mater has her sons on the one hand and her daughters on the other, wearing similar attire. The summer day may not be far in the next century future when Harvard will graduate all her bachelors on the same commencement day, instead of a half day or so apart, as at present—Boston Transcript

Miss Louise McAllister.

That person is Miss Louise McAllister, daughter of the late Ward McAllister. It is said that her literary stylo is no less crisp and charming than her knew ledge of society, at home and abrrr.d, it thorough. But she resolutely declines to turn her talents to account in the way the publishers ask.

How I.ncjr Trained the Po&Cbes.

Lucy lives in a little house back of which there is a roomy yard. Last spring she told her father that she wanted to have a garden all of her own So a pieoe of ground was staked off, and Lucy planted her seeds. She didn't know much about gardening, and when she was in trouble she asked her grandfather to help her. One of her beds contained potatoes, and when they sprouted she was very happy indeed and hoed them diligently. Two or three weeks after they began to blossom, and it was not long before the whole bed was a mass of bright little white flowers. At this Lucy was much concerned. She knew that potatoes grew in the ground, for she had seen them dug. But bow could they start if the blossoms were on top of the bushes? Unfortunately Lucy's grandfather had gone away for a visit, and she couldn't ask him to explain the queer conduct of her garden. She must meet the problem herself.

So one morning she went out with her hoe, bent over the potato plants and buried the blossoms in the earth, so that the potatoes could begin to grow. Having thus trained her unruly plants, she drew a little, sigh of content and left them.

Fortunately her grandfather returned the next day in time to rescue the blossoms, and Lucy took a little lesson about how plants grow.—Chicago Record.

A Mew Sidewalk Game.

& new game has been originated by the little girls of Brooklyn which throws all the other sports of its kind into the shade. It is called' 'playing statue,'' and it is all the rage. A number of lassies get together, and, taking their stand on the sidewalk, proceed to pose in tragic or comic attitudes, according to the pro gramme called out to them by the little stage manager. This important official occupies a position on a neighboring doorstep. The Delsarte craze is probably responsible for this new juvenile game, and the damsels who have been acquiring poses at great expenditure of ducats and muscle will have to look to their laurels, as their Bmall rivals imitate them to perfection. Some big girl's little sister is, no doubt, responsible for this charming sidewalk novelty.—New

Kite Flying:,

Kite flying is not purely a sporfc nowadays, for scientists have learned that a kite is a very valuable aid to their investigations. If you see a man out with a great arrangement which is like two boxes of cloth, without top or bottom, fastened together on the same frame a little distance apart, you will know this is a scientific kite, and its flier, who has to have two or three men to help him hold the stout line attached to it, is intent on serious business. These scientific kites are tailless and are used to investigate the force and direction of air currents and to illustrate other conditions of the atmosphere.—New York Times. s&jMfc
