He has commenc­ ed • course at that institution which, "though he says it i»-merely intended to aspiring journalists a few things ll for them, will s rike practical men . sufficiently ambitions. The course covers two yews and em* graces the study of publiciawand polities, v'-fJ-V'^American history and gvirernrawt, Puro- tiean history, logic and et hii<5,economics and ocial science, and some valuable instruc-ion in the nses of statistics and the best , V, tnethodsof preserving and indexing such ,, ly .fcaiidy material for newspaper writers as r:i/inay be found in newspapers And maga- " f jfcines. Besides all this, students will be ' %iven as much practical training in the •'/'.^rarious forms of newspaper work as is pos- , .* %ible outside of a newspaper office. 1^4 The professor has had much experience ryjournalism and has no idea <,hat his i "if course is going to turn out finished jour- ,u "nalists, but says that it will afford college jmen who intend to enter journalism a ^much better preparation than they were • ^ "formerly able to obtain, give them some ^ideft of what news is, and, he hopes, result _ Jin an appreciable improvement in their { \/te.v U-U Istyle of writing. 1r' | In his recent lecture on journalism Mr. Charles A. Dana, whom it is no disparage­ ment to Professor Johnson to call an abler journalist, took radically different ground on the desirability of a school of jour­ nalism, saying that he had never found students who had taken such a course of * p^anf great avail as practical workers in the < : v;j |Iiewspaper work they had been trying to , , I learn. His idea is that the proper place to ̂ J 'train journalists is in newspaper offices, Vr fr '^though he thinks that they should have the best possible preparatory education before jthey begin. : It is noticeable, however, that Mr. Dana •/ lind Professor Johnson seem to be in thor­ ough accord as to the kind of knowledge journalists should possess. If the professor had written his curriculum after reading Mr. Dana's lect ure, it could not have suited the veteran editor's ideas better. So that, after all, the principal difference in their ideas is that Mr. Dana thinks this knowl- - edge should be acquired as part of a broad general education, while Professor Johnson Intends to impart it for a specific purpose. &NE WOMAN'S WOMC VieeMeaft a# the.

About the Fortress mt and the Belligerent Tribes. a-;«* Religious fanaticism is supposed to be at v^fche bottom of the recent attacks on the v -^jgpanish garrison at Melilla by the native i9 ^tribesmen, whom the dispatches variously s ' ̂ designate as Arabs, Moors, Berbers, Kabyles land Riffians, to the great confusion of the | American reader. They are not Arabs at all and hate the Arabs bitterly, though they are coreligionists and some of them speak Arabic. But they have a language of their own that was spoken by their pro- genitors long before the Arabs gained a foothold on the Barbary coast. They are Moors only in the sense in which our In- - dians are Americans, and though they are of Berber stock it is no more proper to call them Berbers than it would be to call a na­ tive of England a Teuton. "Kabyles" is ; ~ even less satisfactory as a designation of them, for in the sense of "tribes" it is ap­ plied to people of various and different races. Riffians, or Rlf natives, as the geogra­ phers call them, seems to be the only proper • specification. They inhabit the Rif moun­ tains on the Mediterranean coast of Moroc- ©o, and have long been notorious for their hostility to white men and for their fre- .^- • queMacts of piracy. In the beginning of the present century they levied piratical • toll on moat of the maritime nations of '?>* **"" i Europe by agreeing not to molest the ship- t?" r ' V| ping of those countries which paid them -annually a specific sum. Austria, Franc® and Spain successfully declared war on the - sultan of Morocco because of the piratical t predilections of his subjects, though it was %' ; not until 1850 that Spain escaped their ex- actions. she was about 12 years old, she joined the Good Templers and began active work for the good of society. At 21 she became a grand lecturer and organizer for that association and continued the la­ bor for seven years. I In 1888 she united with the Woman's Christian Temperance union and trav- j eled in British Columbia and Alaska, or*! ganizing local unions. During that time she responded to a call to go around the world and sailed from San Francisco in January, 1889. j After laboring some time in the Sand­ wich Islands, New Zealand and the Aua*' tralian colonies, Miss Ackerman sailed for China, inspired by a sense of duty to arouse the women of the east. She found opportunity to speak before large meetings of students and at various mis­ sionary conferences, and finally at Shang­ hai she gained the floor in the general missionary conference, and amid great enthusiasm formed a National Woman's Christian Temperance union for China. She then returned to the British colonies and labored incessantly until 80 new. onions and a colonial union had been organized in New South Wales. Then followed a general convention and the formation of the Woman's Christian Temperance union of Australia, with Miss Ackennan as president. During four years (from 1888 to 1892) this indefatigable young woman trav- , eled over 4,000 miles, spoke through in- J terpretersin 17 foreign tongues, built up over 100 unions, administered 5,000 pledges and drew over 4,000 women into the society. Capacity for hard work and organizing ability are not * Miss Ackerman's only springs of power. From the platform she sways an audi­ ence with the force of her appeal and the attraction of her personal presence.

The Riffians are fanatical Moslems, and the building by the Spaniards of a new fortress on the burial place of a Mohammedan saint is said to have caused the insurrection. It is quite probable, though, that their bitter hatred of Euro­ peans inflamed the natives to as great an extent as religious sentiment and rn>yfo the task of their preachers an easy one. There is ground for suspicion, too, that the attack on Melilla may yet prove to be the inauguration of a general movement on the part of the natives of northern Africa against European domination in Algeria and interference in Morocco. Some color of probability is given to this suspicion by the attack on a company of French soldiers near El Golea, an important caravan sta­ tion in the Sahara. This attack was made by the Tuaregs, another Berber tribe, and it is not all impossible that they may have had some secret understanding with th» Riffians around Melilla. <• v M.*, ff i ' , ' »• • < PI'} .nv * jlf * '-V --it, .

Very pretty is a dress trimmed with velvet ribbon. The: bodice with its full front has bretelles and straps of the vel­ vet, and a "bracelet" and bow of the velvet finish the large puff of the sleeve; A bow and ends cover the joining of the girdle in front, and the long loops and ends of the bretelles fall under the gir­ dle behind. The draped collar fastens at the left. The corsage is also fastened at the left under the velvet bretelle. The skirt may be trimmed with several rows of the velvet put on in points, or it may be simply finished with a rufito of the •ame material at the bottom. ~ WOMAN'S W6RL0^N~PARAGRAPHS.

When women have a Vote, and a mem­ ber of the senate or house of representa­ tives of a Stale or of the nation is Charged with grossly and notoriously Immoral conduct, and the charges ace proved tigaias* him, he will be vxpeQed from Ms seat and from poutioat life forever. When women have a vote, saloon keepers will not be members of school boards or be permitted to hold wide open their dens of destruction next door to or cm the same block with the schooihouse. On the contrary, women will be mem­ bers of school boards themselves and control the same in the interest of econ­ omy, constantly improving education, honesty and equal pay for equal work to teachers of both sexes. They will see to it that the streets are clean, safe and well lighted, or they will know the rea­ son Why. They will also see to it that- at proper intervals throughout every town and city there is a plot set off for a public playground, where, under only such restrictions as are necessary for their own safety, boys and girls may find that vent for the intense musculo activity which is essential to their growth and health. Then children will no longer be a nuisance in the street or in the little fiats in which so many city people must live. When women have a vote, no mnn who is a notorious debauchee and drunk­ ard, and who has cruelly wronged a woman, can ever be elected to or even get the nomination for any office. Wom­ en voters will understand that they owe it to womanhood to rebuke the anibi- tion of such a man; also that they owe it to their own growing sons to show that no such person can hold office in this Union. All this will happen when women have a vote. Perhaps that '8 whj the majority of men are determined worn* en shall never have a vote as long as they can help it. Mrs. Heaton Dart and her nieces axe making an excellent income in New York city at an occupation which as yet no other women in New York state have chosen. It is that of embalming dead bodies. The two women embalm at present an average of 40 bodies a month, doing the work with their own hands. Mrs. Dart is a graduate of the New York Embalming college. The way in which she came to adopt her unusual trade is a curious one. She and her family had a terrible experience with a man embalm- er. Her brother then asked her TO learn the art herself, so as to spare their own family from the brutal indifference of the average professional embalmer, of which they had just had BO unpleasant an experience. Then the thought struck her that she would learn it as an occu­ pation, because she was a widow with children to support. She did so, with eminent success. She reasoned rightly that relatives and friends would rather have the body of a woman or a child embalmed by a woman than by a man. Mrs. Dart is quiet, gentle and refined in her manners, but a reporter says of her, "Mrs. Dart looks as though she could make a success of almost anything." Sarah Grand says: "For vulgarity, for boldness, for folly, ignorance and want of principle, for petty weakness, intrigue and positive vice, you must go the aver­ age sociecy woman." Oh, Sarahl There is a most promising field of lit­ erature for women in the writing of plays. Few dramatic efforts have had the success lately that is attending Mar­ guerite Merington's "Captain Lettar- blair," and "Lorine," a Russian play by Alice Ives, promises to be equally sue* tessful. EUZA ABCHAKD CONNER. Creamed Codfish. Boil a pound of codfish taken from tha middle in order to get a solid cut in the following way: Put it on in cold water, let it come to the boiling point slowly, drain and cover again with cold water, let it simmer very slowly until tender- any salt fish or meat that is boiled rap­ idly will be tough--drain the fish and flake it with a fork. This should be done the day before. The next morning make a sauce with a pint of milk, 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and 2 of flour, lay in the fish and one cup of mashed potatoes. Mix it through with a fork and serve asjsoon as hot. A Battle Shield. A Philadelphia war vetei^'^r^to^iBd a device for protecting soldiers to a consid­ erable extent from an enemy's fire. It is a folding shield of bullet proof material, cir­ cular in form, which can be fixed to the barrel of a rifle. Its diameter is 18 inches, and its surface is corrugated for the pur­ pose of deflecting bullets. The inventor does not pretend that it furnishes a com­ plete protection, but he believes that it would be found indispensible by skirmish- era and in a general engagement would be the means of greatly reducing the casual­ ties. When not in use, it can be folded into portable compass and worn at the side like a bayonet. When expanded and fas­ tened to the rifle barrel, an aperture on the line of the sight is shown which enables the soldier to take aim and use his piece ef- '«rtivalv_riki«,w {ImU v w J*.' Marking; Table Linen. Where tablecloths are marked in em Ibroidery the initials or monogram should be put inside the border and at right angles with it and at a point about 14 inches in a diagonal line from the right hand corner of the cloth as it lies upoi the table before the hostess. These let' ters can be of varying size and decorative elaborateness and are oftenest done in white linen embroidery. As a meant merely of identification for ordinary cloths the letters sold for marking are ofteuest used placed close to the wrong vide of the hem on any corner. Chinamen to the number of 13,179 have registered so far, while 96,821 have not; Seven hundred and twelve Mon­ golians residing in Pennsylvania are among those who have registered.
