Nans As New Women.
The new woman has turned up in an unfamiliar guise and in an unexpected quarter. There is a new settlement of the Sisters of St Dominic neir King William's Town, where those good nuns quietly prove
their equality with man. It is a large!
farm, having two industrial institutions up on it—one for boys and the other for girls— which are not only controlled but actually worked by the sisters and'their pupil*. Tho uuns do their own sowing, plowing, reaping and hoeing on the farm. They have built most of their own houses and do all the carpentry work. There is a forge where lady blacksmiths in Dominican iress make the bellows blow and the sparks fly ,as deftly as their brothers elsewhere, as they supply all the ironwork wanted in the settlement But it must not be supposed that the sisters have altogether discarded womanly arts and avocations. In one large room might be seen nuns—such as the world lias always known them—seated in silence around frames of embroidery, or with familiar piles of "stuff" in front of them, .busily plying needle and thread.—London .Chronicle.
A NEW HOSPITAL CAE
A NEW DEPARTURE IN THB WAT OP A BAUJIOAD OAS.
ABetter Method to Be Provided For CarIng For the Injured la Case of Wrecks.
One of the newest things devised for use in railroading is a hospital car, and it is probable that the Baltimore & Ohio will eventually addTto its possessions this latest development In the way of rolling stock. The Baltimore it Ohio has less need of such a service than most of the big railroads, but there is no railroad that doesn't require it* some time or other.
The first hospital car has been pat in operation by Frank H. Caldwell, chief surgeon of the Plant system, says the New Tork Herald. Railroads, as a rule, have relief cars, intended simply for the transfer of injured employes and passengers, but the belief has always been strong that an actual hospital would. be practicable.
By the use of the hospital car, however, the victim may receive the Bame treatment as if he were in a city institution.
With the coming of the new car there will be no delay in the relief of a sufferer, for even operations may be performed while in transit and this, too, under the most favorable conditions. It is generally ooncadod in railway circles that this is a humane, eco-

means of saving many lives. There are two general divisions to the hospital car what might be called the vard and t'he operating room, with a small room for consultation between them.

The ward takes up something more than a third of the interior, and is a bare, upholstered room. It is fitted with a half a dozen wrought-iron beds with wire woven springs. The legs of the bed rest on heavy, broad, corrugated rubber tip3 on the floor of the car. These soften the jolt and jar of the train and prevent the bed3 from slipping. By a unique arrangment these fliding beds are hinged so that when not in use they can be fastened against the wall and be entirely out of the way. These beds are taken down one at a time as needed. Besides these there is an air bed of the most improved pattern.

In operating a system of hospital cars the railroad will be divided into sections of 200 miles and a car assigned to each section. The permanent station will be in the middle of each section, and thus 100 miles in either direction will be controlled.

GAVE UP THE SEAT.
And tho Old Lady Made Him Sorry For It. In a Powell street car the other day a well known clerk in a San Francisco bank gave up his seat to an elderly lady, according to the Oil City Derrick, who said: "I am very much obliged to you, sir— you
are xtremely kind." "Don't mention it," said he. "But," said she, "it was really very good of you, and I thank you very much." "It is nothing, my dear madam," he -replied. "But," said Ihe lady, "do not attempt to put aside my thanks. Your act is so unus-

sir, that it is my duty to ac-
knowledge a courtesy so sincere. "But," said the bank clerk, somewhat annoyed, "it is nothing. Never mind, madam." "But I do mind," said the' lady. J'We are living in time when people who should show the lesser courtesies of life frequently fail to do so." "But said the hapless man. "Do not interrupt me," she said. "Age nowadays is not habituated to receive from young people the courtesies to which it is entitled. Besides', the marked courtesy which you have shown me in giving up your seat so promptly shows at once that you must have been brought up with utmost care."
The embarrassed clerk by this time was scarlet "Yes," said the old lady, continuing, "and your mother should be Droud of you. Ah, a
mother's love and the benefits of the higher education are easily apparent I do not wish, air, to flatter you, and I do not wish to reciprocate your courtesy by fulsome acknowledgments, but it is sufficient merely to look at you to know that you area gentleman by birth and breeding.

MARIE ANTOINETTE FASHIONS.
Very Freooh Effects In Gowns» Hfcts, Sleeve and Ribbons.
If Marie Antoinette, dressed in her very best gown, were suddenly to appear among the society women^of the day she would be surprised to see how many of her pet fashions they had Adopted for their, very own.
It is a season of revivals in dresses, comments the New Tork Journal. What are termed the novelties of the hour are in many cases, only the fads and fancies of the old regime brought back to life again. The same gorgeousness, the samo Jeweled effects, the same exaggerations are seen everywhere in tbe fashions of today.
The Marie Antoinette hat is among the most prized creations of this season's millinery. It shows plainly the Trianon crown in all its glory. Besides this, there are always many noddiug plumes, and generally a brim whlcli at eacn side forms a leng point. Marie Antoinette was partial to large hats. So are the fashionable women of today. It was during the reign c£ iiouis XVI that the hats were first worn tilted over the forehead, just as they a-o at pn?sont It was bt this time also that the l?fge dashing hat was worn far enough back upon the head to show my lady's pompadour to perfection. •But it is not only (he Marie Antoinette hat with the Trianon crown which is here this fall. The newest, most dreaded fashion of all, the small sleeve, can be traced right back "to the time when the queen was playing farming at Trianon.
But then to compensate for the unbecomingness of this tight fitting sleeve, there are the .beautiful flowered silks and satin brocades. They were high in favor during the time of Marie Antoinette, and they are all the vogue today. Many of the .-new brocades for evening gowns, both In design and colorings, are exact imitations of tho brocades worn at the court balls when Louis XVI was proud of the beauty of his young queen.
This Is essentially a season of ribbons. Stripes are another levival of the Marie. Antoinette fashion. Striped silks are much worn at present. During the year 1787 not only did all the women of the court of Marie Antoinette look with favor upon striped gowns, but the men and children wore striped costumes as well.
Then there is the Mario Antoinette coifure, with Its bobbing curls and marvelous display of pu^Ts. This Is the fashion now, and has been for some time. The pompadour was beloved by Marie Antoinette and she loved to cover her ears with soft puffs of hair, and that is just what our English sisters are doing at present.
In the days of Marie Antoinette muffs as large as drums were cfcrried by the ladies of fashion. This fall the small muff of last season Is nowhere to be found. It is a muff so large that little hands are lost inside it that is in vogue. And this is a typical Marie Antoinette muff.
The miniature, which is a craze of the hour also, belongs to the days of the old regime. Marie Antoinette herself has a number of exquisitely painted miniatures, which, though the work of artists of note, she wore as ornaments with the same careless abandon as she did her lace frills.
Magnificent jeweled buttons were in favor then just as they are now, and the frequent use of buckles is also a revival of the Cay of Marie Antoinette. The small fane In Vogue at present belong to Marie Antoinette time, and so do the high heeled, pointed slippers.
As for the fichu, just to see it makes one think of Marie Antoinette. She it was who invented the dainty, quaint fashion, and she wore the fichu with almost all of her gowns.
Jeweled gloves were a fad of Marie Antoinette's, and a few of these novelties are now being introduced for evening wear.
I The White House. "There are a number of stories, in circulation going to show why the executive mansion was called the White House, and by ^hom it was first called such," said a local historian, "but I think tho best evidence tends to James Madison, who was the fourth president, and who was driven out of the executive mansion when the British burned it in 1814. The executive mansion is built of freestone, which was quarried down on the Potomac river. The Capitol proper was constructed out ef the same stone, though, of course, the wings for the senate and house of representatives are built or marble, with granite foundations. "At the time the British burned the executive mansion they did a lot of other damage, and the country was pressed for money to repair the same. The walls of the mansion were but little damaged, other than by being blackened by smoke. As I said, money was scarce, and congress made an appropriation to have the outside of the house painted. White was selected as the best color. The Capitol was not painted for nearly twenty years afterward. Madison, in a letter to a personal and political friend, wrote: 'Come in and see mo any time. You will always find me in at the White House.' "Tho executive mansion may have been called the White House before that, but I have never been able to find any record of It. The letter from Madison had an important political bearing and was very extensively circulated. If, therefore, Madison did not officiate at the christening, he certainly took a prominent part in publishing the fact that the White House was forever from that time to be the name of the mansion. Up to that time the executive mansion, which is the legal name for lt. was generally spoken of as the president's house."
Wholesale F.lquor Dealer*.
New York, Oct. 15.—The first meeting of the executive committee of tho National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' association, after three days' session has been concluded. E. L. Snyder of this city, the president had very little information to give except that the membership of the board of control had been agreed upon. He stated that the association is not a trust in any sense of the term, "It is intended," said he, "to do its work above board, and the work which it should do in securing legislation for the benefit of the members will be pressed only in national government affairs. State legislation is not to be considered at all."
Mr. Snyder mentioned the securing of the right to export liquors as one especial aim in the association's legislation work, and the protection of trade marks as another. There are said to be more than 4,000 wholesale liquor dealers in this country, and it Is expected by the dealers that the most of them will join the association.

KEANE'S SUCCESSOR
HI WI1.L B( MMIOriD AT THB WASHINGTON MfflTINO.
Important Gathering of Catholic Clergy There TMa Month—Many Name* Suegeeted—Meeting of Archbisl o/e.
Washington, Oct. 16.—The approaching meeting of the Catholic clergy at Washington will be erne of special Interest and importance. Not only are the administrators of the Catholic University to meet on the 31st Inst., but the archbishops, representing the controlling force of the church, have determined to change their place of meeting, which was set for New Orleans, and will meet here following the university meeting. The two bodies are entirely distinct, as only six of the thirteen archbishops have a vote on the university board. These six are Cardinal Gibbons (also arch-
bishop of the Baltimore diocese) "and Arch-
Thus far the names mentioned in connection with the succession to Bishop Keane are wholly conjectured, as it is expected that eack of the voting members of the board will come here with a candidate to support, and., umtll they get together, there is no means of learning the concensus of opinion. The view prevails that the board will incllni to a trained teacher, rather than a prominent member of the clergy. It is pointed out that Bishop Keane was best qualified as an organizer and manager. He was not trained as a teacher, as he was raised from a parish priest to the position of rector of the university. Now, however, the institution has passed through its period of organization, when a strong executive manager was required, and has entered upon its teaching period, so that a. rector having the teaching characteristics is said to be most essential. Such a teacher may be drawn from the ranks of tbe priesthood rather than from the bishops, who are prominent mainly through their administrative ability.
This opens so widely a field that there
the appointee will be uptil the administrators get together. The prominent part Vice Rector Garrigan has taken in the affairs of the university leads to the mention of his name Among the more prominent teachers of the church who have been associated with" the university are Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, an authority on church history the Rev. Dr. Pace, head of the School of Philosophy Monsignor Schroeder, professor of dogmatic theology, and some others. While there has been no special movement toward any of the names, attention is directed to them, in view of the feeling that a teaching cleric will be named. In making the recommendation to the pope, the board may suggest three names, as is usual When a bishop is to be named, or may confine their recommendations to one name. While the action of the administrators will doubtless be final, in shaping the action of the pope, yet there will be room for private representations to Rome up to the time of the final confirmation.

The meeing of the archbishops, following the university meeting, will have a number of important questions to deal with". The pope's recent letter to Bishop Keane gave him the rank of archbishop, and added that a see would be designated by the archbishops, if he is elected to remain in this country. He so elected, but there was some ambiguity as to the acceptance of the advanced rank. An authority on church administration says that the pope's language was effective in creating the rank, and that Bishop Keane is now, in fact, an archbishop. At present, however, there is no vacant archbishopric, so that rank will be nominal unless new arrangements of archbishops is attempted.
The archbishops also deal with the administration of Catholic Indian schools, al16ting the sums to be used for Indian education in the several localities. The government support for ecclesiastical schools may necessitate some methods of administration. By the act of congress, all govern-1 ment aid is to end July 1st next year, and as the Catholic schools received the bulk of this aid, the archbishops will be called on to determine how the work can proceed unaided by the government.^
The coming of the archbishops and bishops will afford the first opportunity for a meeting between the heads of the American church and the now delegate, Monsignor Martinelli, and it is expected that several Imposing ceremonies will occur.

Seven bishops also have a vote on the board, viz.: Spalding of Peoria, Marty of St. Cloud, Maes of Covington, Foley of Detroit, Hortsman of Cleveland and Keane, late rector of the university. Bishop Spalding is in Europe, and will not be present. Bishop Keane is not expected to return for the meeting. Mgr. Farley of New York and Father Lee of Washington make up the remaining voters. There are three lay members, Waggman of Washington, Jenkins of Baltimore and Banigan of Providence, who have no vote on the choice of the rector, that being a function of the clerics especially committed to them by the pope. This makes twelve voting members, of which seven constitute a majority.
FEMALE FORM DIVINE.
Woman's Weight, Shape and Slae Discussed lly a Gotham Scribe. Self-constituted judges of the "female form divine" have criticised a statement in this column that woman's proper weight is 135 pounds, says the Now York Press. I still cling to the statement An average woman is meant She must be neither too long nor too short neither too thin nor too thick. Juno weighed probably ISO pounds. Had sho lived to a good old age she would have weighed 280. Juno was a great big woman, ot the heroic type. Diana was not so large. Sho weighed, I have been told, 160. Venus was about the size of the average young woman of today, tipping the scales at 138 pounds. The girl of 30 who weighs 185 ought to weigh at S5, 145, and sho ought not to allow herself to grow any heavier.
If Venus were to walk down Broadway she would probably be mistaken for a cook or chambermaid. A woman's waist generally shows her social position. Venus wore the first Mother Hubbard. It is called "Ompeer" by most of the women with large waists, "Empire" by the wasp-waisted variety, and "An-pilr" by the haut ton, I cannot like it The^Emplre gown suggests the boudoir and the siokroom, and leaves a great deal mor» to the imagination than does tbe close-fitting waist Even as things are now tbe women beep us guessing all the time, and woe be unto us if they push their waists up under their arms, A woman in an Empire gown is aggravatlngly huggable. It is next to impospesslble for a sentimental and Impressionable man to keep bis arms to himself.
Women come In all sorts of packages, In all sh«»es and sites, and wo lovo them every one, Charles Roade, who was a fair lawyer and a reabable novelist, was perhaps the best judge of a woman in all England, and I am inclined to accept his opinion on the subject of mating. He once said to ma: "If I had the mating of young people I should have the husband always- tall and slender and the wife
of average height, Inclining to stoutness. He eeuld not stand a couple of thin people, and a gaunt wife with a corpulent husband

One, Two, Throe, ShKt.
Fiverybody who saw May Irwin In "The Widow Jones" remembers the "One, Two, Three, Shift," song, which WJ«S sung Mr. Sparks, the whole company coming in strong on the chorus. Well, Miss Irwin has taught Newport the song and the accompanying "shift," unless a Now York( newspaper is wickedly misrepresenting the facts in the case. It happened this way: Senator Brioe engaged Miss Irwin to entertain a company at his house, and she «ang several song3 decorously and pleasingly. Then Herman Oelrichs said to her: "Look here, Miss Irwin, we're all going up stain now, and we want you to teach us One, Two, Three, Shift' I've been trying to tcach some of the ladies nay self, but they don't seem to get the hang of it." In "Tr« Widow Jones," when this song is sung by Mr. Sparks, the entire company sit around him with their legs crossed. Each membei boats time with his boot, and at the words, "one, two, three, shift," every one changes legs and begins to beat time again. In the group surrounding Miss Irwin were Mr. and Mrs. Oelrichs, Miss Fair, O. H. P. Belmont, Duncan Elliott, the Misses Brice, Mr. Van Alen, Elisha Dyer and a dozen others. The tune they picked up in a very few minutes, but it took them longer to get the hang of their feet. Mr. Yan Alen gave Miss Irwin the most, trouble, is, no! satisfied with shifting his leg with each verse, he insisted on transferring his monocle to his other eye. It muse have been an inspiring sight to see that company singing:
One, two, three, shift I Be good, be good, my father said. Though the road be rough and stormy Bo mo day you may bo president Or a general in tbe army.
The Way It Acted.
A tailor named Sam Smith from a country place visited a large wholesale warehouse and ordered a quantity of goods. Ho was politely received, and one of the principals showed him over tho ertablishment. On reaching the fourth floor the customer saw a speaking tube on the wall, tho first lie had ever seen.
What is thotf" ho 9ked. "Oh, that is a spoaking tuba It Is a great convcnicnco. .Wo can talk with it tc tbe clerks on tho first floor v. ithout taking tho troublo of going down stairs." "Can they hear anything that you say through it?'
Yes, and they can roply." "You don't say so. May I talk through it9" "Certainly."
The visitor put his month to tho tube and asked: "Are Sam Smith's goods packed yet?"
The people in tho office supposed it wai tho salesman who had asked the question, and in a moment the distinct reply oame back: "No. Wo are waiting for a telegram from his town. lie looks like a slippery customer."—Waterbary.
Advertising the Farm Products. Abutter print of some design showing by whom the butter is made will be of invaluable service to any ono sending choice butter to market. Customers soon learn to recognizc a brand that denotes quality, and if the article gives satisfaction battel prioes oan bo obtained than those quoted. Tbe farmer who endeavors to excel should adopt some method to make known tho articles offered by him, not only with but* ter, but anything else that can be marked before being sold. Tho furmer can advertise as well as tho merchant, and he will find that by so doing ho will increase the demand for his productions iC ho will aim to supply only tho choicest.—Philadelphia Record. j.
