A Qner Sernplionk. Woman's Home Companion. At a recent loan exhibition of curios was shown something odd in the way of scrapbooks. It was l)fcu!i some twenty-live ears ago, ani contains samples of dresses worn by its originator during that quarter of a century. Alongside these for the past fourteen years have been pasted pieces of the clothes worn by a daughter, for whom the book is now Intended. By the time thl3 daughter is a woman grown she will possess the record of fabrics of two generations, and even more, for the lirst entries in th book are scraps of tho grandmother's wedding1 outfit. Among the last named are soft all-wool goods spun and woven at horn?, with here and there a silk thread intermingled, from home-raised sill: ' worms. The personal entries for the daughter begin with the dainty lawns, laces, embroideries and cashmeres of her baby days, along with u tiny pink silk first sock and a photograph of a bald-headed infant. Then follow the dimities and tine glnshams of the llrst short clothes and the ribbonbound flannel sacks in colors, along with the velveteens and plushes of cloaks and hoods. Accompanying, one scrap of embroidery and lawn was a line saying it was the last Ion? dress worn before donning the shorter outht. Opposite all these pages tire samples of the dresses and wraps worn by tho mother at this time. Club Meetings Tili Week. Monday.

How the American Ilenidents at 3In nlln Received Deney, Washington Post. "I 'want to tell you a funny story about our reception to Admiral Dewey over In Manila when he came into the city to do some shopping after the battle of Manila bay," said Mr. Russell Colegrove, of Manila, Philippine islands. Mr. Colegrove, who is traffic manager of the Philippine Transportation and Construction Company, was one of the first Americans who arrived in the Philippines after the United States took possession, entering Manila while the last Spanish ship destroyed by Admiral Dewey was still burning. "Those first few weeks in Manila," continued Mr. Colegrove, "there were only a few of us Americans about. We were congenial and wanted to be together, so organized a club and renteel a house for headquarters. When Admiral Dewey got ready to come to town we were stirred with feelings of patriotism, and wanted to receive him in a proper and fitting manner and show that we were still Americans, in spite of being 8,000 miles from home. "The most important question to solve was where to get a suitable turnout with which to drive him about. Some of us kept horses and carriages those little affairs of the natives and had experienced drivers for the small ponies. Finally, by using one man's horses, another man's CO VfTTJ.SS

AT KING EDWARD'S CORONATION.

carriage and another man's harness we succeeded in getting together a pretty swell-looking conveyance for the Orient. The next question was where to get a suitable costume for the driver. It was not difficult to find some one who could handle the reins, but we wanted him dressed in metropolitan style. From somewhere we dug up a silk hat and one man had a rather heavy long opera coat with a long cape. This was just the thing and when that Filipino was finally rigged out he looked great. The driving of the admiral went off all right until it came time to bring him around to the club. Some of us were sitting upstairs in a window, when one fellow cried out: 'Look at that driver coming!' There came the admiral's carriage. On the seat was the black driver and he literally didn't have on anything but that silk hat. It was an awfully hot day and he had simply removed the coat and his clothes. It was the fimnlest spectacle I ever witnessed."

Letter Writing and Style, The Great Record World. The decay of letter writing has been the sad burden of many a recent essayist. It is admitted regretfully that letter writing, as an art, no longer possesses its old reason for existence; that the telegraph and the newspaper have made men largely independent of their friends in the acquisition of news and general information which was formerly communicated by the creaking quill of the epistolean. Also it is noted that the age of letter writing was an age of style. The writer who had acquired the habit of sending his personality to his friends by post was prepared to face the more formidable printing press without stage fright. He was simply writing letters to a larger audience. And we may add that the more charming novelists and essayists of recent years have usually been as delightful in their correspondence as in their books. There is in this fact an easy suggestion that the epistolary method produces the most pleasing style. Many actors have a way of picking out a sympathetic face in their audience and playing to him. Would it not, as some one has suggested, be a good plan for writers to imitate the actor in this respect and write their books with a particular sympathetic reader in mind? That Very Civil Engineer. He carried a transit in his hand, (For he was a young C. E.) He hurried along Amid the throng. (To see the point you must understand That he was a young C. E.) A very stout lady crossed the street. (Poor girl, she didn't C. E.) In the poem as finished it will be indicated fn the next .two lines tnat the lady knocked the young man down, that the transit broke, taat our hero, with the help of a puddler from a neighboring mill, picked our heroine up, that he begged her pardon profusely and that he set them up for the puddler. ine present work is in the nature of an artist's study. The finished effort will end somewhat in the following manner: (To clinch the point, we will now repeat That he was a very C. E.) New York Evening Sun. The Thrcc-Mcnl Hahit. F. L. Oswald, M. D., in Success. Our threo-mcal habit is a fearful tax on our working capacity; it trebles the temptation to overeating; our champions stagger under the weight of a . physiological handicap; one-half the functional energy of the system is diverted by the exigencies of digestion. No other hygienic mistake has done so much to make us a generation of dyspeptics as the custom of after-dinner work. Its victims, moreover, incur the risk of contracting that form of moral dyspepsia called pessimism. It tends to rob the working day of its reward.

NOTED WOMEN OF ITALY

SOME WERE THE ORIGINALS OF SHAKES PEA HE'S HEROINES. Lneretia Cornaro. the Portia f "The .Merchant f Venire." Lived In Venice, and Juliet Wa Real. W. E. Curtis's Venice Letter in Chicago Record-Hera lü. j Shakspcare got the materials for Ins pho . bf Italian life, including "The Merchant of ! Venice." from an old volume oi -lau ten by a monk in the fifteenth century or thereabouts. For a long tim it was n mystery, but the discovery some years ago of a copy of this neglected and forgotten author disclosed a striking similarity to four or live of Shakspeare's plots, ah the tales are more or less founded upou historical facts, like that of Hamlet. Romeo and Juliet, for example, actual lived and died in the manner described because a feud between their families wou u not permit them to marry. "The Comedy of Errors" is based upon incidents of actual occurrence, while Shylock was a notorious money lender whose house in Venice i tili pointed out to tourists. It stands in the old market place near the Rialto. where there is a tribune from which was proclaimed the edicts and the announcements of the government, and opposite is the oldest church in Venice, which is said to have been built as early as the year 520. Back of it is the famous Rialto bridge, which has a conspicuous part in Venetian history as well as romance. It was built in 155S. The Ponte di Rialto, as they call it in Italian, Is a marble arch of seventyfour feet, with a radius of thirty-two feet, resting upon 12,000 piles. It is the main highway across the Grand Canal, anel nearly every man of business crosses it at 1 as. once during the day. The bridge itself is given up to the jewelers, whose shops line each side of the patnway. out int.one end is the fish, fruit and vegetable market, and at the other is a sort of mercantile, stock and produce exchange. It i the center of Venetian business activity. and when Shakspeare makes önyioctv i. "In the Rialto you have rated me, he means that his credit or liabilities had been quoted on "change. THE GHETTO OF VENICE. The ghetto, or old Jewish quarter, is near by, where a colony of exiles from Spain have been living ever since their expulsion from that country by the Inquisition. The streets are the narrowest, the buildings are the highest, and the tenements are the most crowded of all Venice, and at one time all persons of Jewish birth were compelled to live within certain limits and wear a certain dress. They were nver persecuted, but have been allowed to worship in their own way and transact any line of business. The same quarter is still occupied by Jewish families, although the descendant of the contemporaries of Shylock now own and occupy some of the richest and most beautiful palaces upon the Grand canal. The storv of Shylock and the pound of flesh is found in the book of tales I have referred to, and Portia is a pen portrait of Lucretia Cornaro, the first woman lawyer in the world, the Myra Bradwell of the fifteenth century, who received a degree of doctor of- laws from the University of Padua, where she was educated and afterward lectured on law. Her biography has been published. Her family was famous and produced three cardinals, who are buried at the Church of San Salvator. She was a native of Venice and a relative of Katrina Cornaro, the Venetian belle who married King James of Cyprus, somewhere about H70, and when, by his death, in 14S9, she inherited the throne she annexed her kingdom to the Venetian republic. Eucretia Cornaro was one of the most learned of women, and her biography gives remarkable accounts of her eloquence, erudition and influence. She was so much admired and respected that the doges and the council of ten used to consult her upon legal questions, and her fellow-citizens submitted their differences to her for decision instead of going to court. It was natural, therefore, that she should be mixed up In the Shylock case. Her father, Luigi Cornaro, born In 14r7, was a queer old chap and the author of the starvation theory of prolonging life. He argued that the less one ate the longer one would live. He was a Venetian nobleman anel enjoyed both luxury and elissipation up to the age of forty, when he lost his property and was compelled to economize. At first he reduced his diet to twelve ounces of food and fourteen ounces of wine a day, and gradually tapered off until when he was about sixty he omitted his breakfast and lunch entirely, and for dinner ate only one egg and drank six ounces of wine. He kept up this diet until he died of a ellsease of the lungs In his one hundredth year. THE CORNARO THEORY. His biographer says that he had "a spirit of cheerfulness, sobriety and good sense," and was able to conduct his business with hearty pleasure and a clear mind to the very last. He wrote a book called "The Sure and Certain Methoel of Attaining a Long and Healthful Life," which was published at Padua in 155S and translated into all the European languages. The English translation createel quite a sensation and passed through thirty editions during the two centuries that followed. The Cornaro theory found many believers. His disciples were numerous in every European city and the fad lasted much longer than such things usually do. Three of his intimate friends in Venice who adopted the same diet. and lived on one egg and a glas of wine a day reached the ages of ninetycne, ninety-five and ninety-six, respectively. But Lucretia Cornaro was not the only famous woman of her age in Italy. Novella Andrea, who graduated from the University of Bologna in 13-S, more than 150 years beforc, was also famous for her legal learning, although she never practiced law. She lectured in the law schools at Padua, Pavia and Pisa, where her father was a professor and there was so little difference in the learning of the daughter and the old man that she used to take his place in the 1mture reom frequently, but she was so beautiful that the faculty required her to sit behind a screen or wear a heavy veil to conceal her features for fear of distracting the minds of he students. Giovanni Andrea, the father, was the most learned authority on legal questions in all Italy in the fourteenth century and wrote several treatises, in which he' wa assisted by his daughter.

She was considered greatest woman of the fourteenth century. She conducted theological discussions with Popes, cardinals and bishops; she corresponded with profound philosophers and was supposed to be very learned, but as a matter of fact' she was almost entirely without education, and hence her gifts of knowledge, argument and eloquence were believed to h 1 miraculous She wa. tnig poor dyer of Sienna named IiÄ,-, , scarcely had any schooling ht , and see visions in 1305. when i ihe'Ja" onTv ?

Yittoria Colonna published several voluiras of poems of great merit, the lirst appearing in IKX ' LEARNED AND ELOQUENT. Another very learned woman of that ae was Veronica Gambara, of Brescia, nho was renowneel as a linguist and pet .ij.i wrote in Eitin. Greek and the Oriental 1. :i. guages. She was much admired by chail s V, who frequently visited her villas in V, -logna and Modena. When a widow she educated her four sons, who became famouä and influential men. Isotta Nogarala, of Verona, who lived about this perioei, was also a learned ar.-J eloquent woman, both with voice- and p. a, and publisheel a remarkable volume- in cVfense of Mother Eve's conduct in that apple, affair. Her arguments are sail to be convincing that the ecclesiastics prohibits the circulation of the book for fear u would shake the faith of the people in the scriptural story. Lucretia Tornabluoni of Florence, who married Irenzo di Medici and became the mother of kings, popes and cardinals, w. also a very able and learned woman. She wrote several volumes of poems, corif. sponded with the great scholars of tho encouraged art, literature, geography, aj.i was the friend of Toscanelli, the- gr..tt geographer. In the same century fifty or sixty wom.-n in Italy were famous for learning, and t ) inspire th ambition of the s-x the ttat s offered prizes for such accomplishments but, through the influence of the chureh and political leaders, learning among women began to decline, ami we hear nothii.ij more of scholarship among that sex until Maria Gaetanna Agnesi appeared in Bologna. She was one of the most extraordinary women ot all history. Her father w.,s professor of mathematics in the University of Bologna, where she was born in lTlv When nine years old she wrote a book in Latin on the "Responsibilities of Womanhood," and advocating the higher education of women; when thirteen she wro;e and read nine languages, and when eicl teen they called her "the walking polyglot." because there was no language that she dji not know. She used to appear b fore ih learned scientists of Italy and road papers on abstruse subje'cU'. She wanted to be or no a nun. but the entreaties of her father p.-r-suaded her to renounce her inclinations, and she retired from society and gave h rself up to study until her learning was something marvelous. Her memory was so retentive that she could quote pages of figures and could give the date of any historical event offhand. She wrote a book on "The Analysis of Finite Quantities" and a second volume cn "The Analysis of Infinitesimals." Boih weretranslated "into French, German and English ami used as text-books in the European universities. She was also the author of a text-book cn conic sections. In ll'J) Pope Benedict XIV appointed her to succeed her father when he retired as professor of mathematics at the University of Bologna, but, when he died, two years later, sh was released from her promise and gratified, her original desire by joining the austere sisterhood of the Blue Nuns, of which she became mother superior ar.d conducted it a affairs until her death in 17.0. Her sister, Maria Teresa Agnc-sl, was equally famouf in music. TEACHERS OUTHOGIt APII V. Xothlnsr Uns Ever Allied the I'lace of the Old-Time Spelling .Matche. Philadelphia Record. Recently it was announced that several members of the graduating class of Northwestern University, near Chicago, had be e :i "plucked" for bad spelling. They were able to make a creditable showing in other branches, but their orthography was todefective for graduates. The professor of English began a reform by sending the young men and women to their spelling books and by investigating the causes of the inability of the present generation to rival their ancestors as spellers. He has reported -that the system of teaching orthography which is now in operation in the public schools of Chicago and many oth-r cities cannot produce good spellers. Not only are the syllables no longer divided, but oral selling has been abandoned, while there is not enough reading to educate th sight. He has predicted that unless thie shall be a return to the old methods bid spelling must become general. To test the charge that the teachers ho have been trained under the new system are not good spellers Superintendent Coolv, of Ch'cago. sent out information blanks asking every teacher to write eiown h r name, birthplace and age, and to indicate the extent of her education. The results are ?aid to be shocking. A large proportion of the teachers misspelled many of tho most e-ommon words, one bdng unable to write correctly the name of her native village. Among the errors was "Febu.iry." One teacher was born in Tcnessee" an I another in "Oelwein" (for Oldwine). Ia. It is significant that one young woman completed her education by university "ext-:-tion" methods. Alteegether tbe reports . re calculated to sustain tbe charge that the system of orthography teaching in the public schools is defective. There is no doubt that the snellinc mat es which were the delight of the pup:!;; the ceuntry schools of an earlier day w particularly effective-. Among the 1 spellers of to-day are men who have ! no college training and üttle schooling yonel that of the rural district school, who. like Abraham Eineoln. have edu-, themselves later without tho aid of teael The spelling class, with its rivnlrv tor r.l t.d rs. th headship and its stimulus of "s; hi' dowr." lixeel the spelling of a vast vo :- lary in their mindr. beyond the possibility of loss. In English orthography the : -pendence must be chief, v on memory, i' I this is formed by repetition. It is obvi too. that words are more easily sp and remembered when divided into s Ides. The experience of Chicago is pp bly that of all other places where the methods have been abandoned. THE n If; GEST MUPS. The Great PnciHc Liner Unlit for Trnflle vitli the Orient.
