It Is just as well that the uccestes only are chronicled, for pecple, especially women, need encouragexcent rather than discouragement; still before making a venture 'tis best to dnly consider ri&ka. disadvantages and possibilities of fai.'ore. It la noticeable that the ventures and sue ceEses reported are illustrative of the fact that the best chances are frequently near at hand In supplying a want overlooked by more ambitious but less shrewd seekers of opportunities. The Detroit Free Press tel. a of a Mrs. Mary Bafford in that city who gains a comfortable income by making and selling mince pies and English plum pudding, the real old fashioned kind such as our grandmothers made "with ipica and everything that'a nice " The pudding is put up in three and aiz ponnd packages and is sold at fifty cents a pound, and will keep a year ci spoiled. Mrs. Batiord also supplies hue cakes; the best families in the city are her patrons, she haj customers in Bjatoa and many other places in New Eogland aad easily cisroses of all she can prepare. The Now York San is responsible for the following: "A young woman, the daughter of a New York journalist of some note, his a natural likmg as well as a natural faculty for cooking fancy dishes, ard her father is willing to indulge her fancy.

"Mrs. A. E. Bradway." aaji the Post, "is one of the 'oldest settlers' of Washington Market, and is looked np to with reverence by stall tenders u the 'market mother.' For seventy years her family have occupied the same stall in the centre of the market where she now sells poultry, game, and fruit.

After due considera tion and preparation, she had the lot plowed in early epring and convetted it into one large ttrawberry bed, while around Its sides were planted b'ack cap raspberries.

A young woman of Illinoii, for some time a teacher in the public schools of that State, decided to go West. She took up a farm in Dakota, and now owns three handred and twenty acres of land and two thousand dollars in money. The above are but a few of thein'tincej reported of woman's success as an agriculturist. The Woman's Tribune givea the following instance of gcod business sense: In 1SS1 Mrs. Os bourne had been for some time housekeeper for Cook & Tower, who had a cattle ranche near where the town of Ainsworth now stand?. When the tide of emigration set in this direction, the ranchers had to move along, but Mrs, Oabourne and her daughter concluded to remain and located six quarter sections of land on which as it turned out the new town was located.

I remember when she died," be continued. "She died in the early morning, and the woman who was nursing her, when she saw she was going, took me out of my little bed, and carried me to her for a last kies. I did not understand all I was losing, ehe, majbs, I should not have taken such a clear notice of what happened. 1 heard the nurse tell afterwards that she could not hear what Mrs, Orme eaid when she saw her little boy.

"Ah," the old man used to aid, the tears standing in his ruddy cheeis, ' often and often, when God hai sent ma pood things that I never dreamed oi aiking, I've thought that's all through Mother's prayers. 'What ever he may want.' Does anybody eay my mother left me unprovided for? I say no The legacy of that prayer was a richer for" tnce than thousands in the Bank of England without it.

Prayer joins mortal love with divine strength. S. Indianapolis, Ind. For the Eunday Sentinel. ITiinal Suflrac Meeting at Dui.relth. An interesting Equal Suffrage meeting was held at Danreith, Henry Co., Ind., oa Friday, March L'7, at the Friends' church. Beth morning and afternoon sessions wera opened with Scripture reading, prayer and sacred music by the choir. The first paper presented gave a brief review of the present status of suffrage work and the progress made. It had been prepared by Mrs. Mattie A. White, but in her absence, caused by 111nees, was read by Dr. Rachel Bailey. Mr. E. P.'eas thought that more progres had been made than the paper reprsssntei, It was not long ago that the right of women to vote was only a question for debating societie?, more for fun than from principle. Mrs. Egerton called especial attention to a reference to Massachusetts where tbe oppo cents of equal suffrage, after a whole year of preparation and two postponements, came before the legislature with seventeen petitions with the names of 185 men and 253 women to confront 192 suffrage petitions with 1C.00D signatures. The "remonstrants" had put forth extra efforts, and had hired canvassers to go all over the State. Mrs Mattie Charles read a paper on the "Constitutional R'ghts of Women," taking the ground that there is nothing in the Constitution to fcrbld vimen to vote and that therefore women base the right. Mr. Pleas f a:d : " Iba Constitution means what the judges cons tx us it to mein, and the jndsta havp r U censtratd it to mean women when it says voters." Mils L'jnisa Wickersbam presented a paper entitled "The Experiment at New Ephesas," which elicited a spirited attack from Wm. Egerton. who tcok the ground that "A woman can persuade, but hte3 h?r infiaeoce if she ccavs to use persuasion and tries force," force in h's logic meaning the ballot. Mr. El wood Pleas sug;ejtei ths u?e ot persuasion in the temperance work instead of fore (that is, the ballot). This was hltt'ng Mr. E. hard, as he is an ardent Prohibitionist and claims to vote as he prays. Dr. Kacte1 S. Bailey read a short ekatch of Lncretia Molt, and Mirs Minnie Bailey recited ' Lines Dedicated to Lucretia Mott." Mr. Oliver Steele, a recent convert, and Rev. F. W. Thomas made brief speeches. The latter preferred a limited suffrage but would make education and intelligence and not sex the teat for the ballot Mrs Elwooi Pleas read a selection "Patting hlmaslf in her place." At tbe noon reces a delightful lunch was hospitably served in the church by tne la dies. A vote of thans was tendered the choir which had furnished music at intervals during the day and the meeting adjourned. L. W. Co-Education at Slichigan University. The experiment of admitting young men and women to tbe same college for training ia very successful at Ann Arbor. A correspondent writes to the PhiladelphiaLedger:ro see the busy figures of women moving about the campus here, and unreservedly mingling with their hardier brothers; to see them in tbe whole curriculum of study, attentive, ia tclligent, vivacious, scholarly; to obsarva the courtesy and deference which ia accorded to that influence of their presence, makes it almost incredible to understand that scarcely a decade ago women were completely barred from admission here; and that only by incessant and untiring effort was intelligent opinion finally awakened to vent are to open the doors. In February, ot 1S70, tha first lady entered upon a classical coarss: to day there are. all told, one handred and ninetysix enrolled. Of these, one hundred and nlnctn are literary atudsnts: fifty-sir medical; ten hemtcopathic; eight dental; to
law frme in pharmacy. Tnese ?nrei spsak fcr themselves; they are n im preiilve lesson: and it must be barne In mind that they were mustered rgains: the bittere t resistance, by the most patient fortitada. In 1655 Dr. Haven, a Profeaser here, publicly advocated the opening o! the university to women. The propoaitson was considered "wL'd and insane, and, at least, as a danger(us joke." In the Leg'slatnre passed a resolution favoring their admission; but in the autumn of 1S70 tbe prejudice ran so high against the innovation that many of the boardirg places in town were closed sgaictt them; and it is recorded that several years elapjed before the "odiity ceased to aflect people." It Is needless to say that no embittered feeing now mars their path. Ihey are accorded todsy the ready assistance and fraternal hand which a common purpose and achievement insolre. Ia the hcspilal wards and clinics, in the lectures, quizzes, examinatiors, in every and allayencts of investigation and thought, both sexes are brought freely and harmoniously together. As a rule, the women are above the average ags of stadenti upon entering; rrany have l een teachers, and many are self-supporting. It is no disparagement to eay that the university contains few batter atudents; certainly none more striving and ambitious, and, as before remarked, their commie cling and inüaence are of the exalted and healthful sort. The Women Who Write. The Toulouss academy has conferred a medal upon (asen Elizabeth of Roumania, for literary merit, Miss Bertha E.

As Elizabeth fRobbins ehe is well known to readers of the Atlantic ana other magazines. Mrs. Emily Pfeiffer is said to b3 engaged in revising the notes taken during her recent American tour. She proposes to publish them, together with jottings made by he in a visit to India, nnder the title of "Fiy Leaves from the East and West." Tbe compilation cf hymns and religious poems written by women, which Mrs. G. C. bmitn, of Spiingfield, III., began two or three years ago, under the title of "Woman In Sacred Song," was ready for the press several months ago. Mrs. Smith had selected 2.500 hymns and poems from tbe writings of 820 authors, dating from the year 151S to the present time, together with 13') pieces of sacred music composed by about fifty different women. She bf gin the work of publication, expecting to tave sufficient means to complete it, but, through numerous disappointments in eeenrieg fends, the work has been bronght to a staudetilJ. It has been suggested that if the many women who are deeply interested in this work can advance the price of a book, the problem ot pnblica tin will be eolved, Specimen pages. have been issued, and can be obtained by aplicat on to Mrs. Smith, Tne volume is one that will Le of service to womanhood, and its completion is greatly to be desired.

Table Nov eitles Making the Baby Happy Oranges and llananat. Square cak dining tables are in high favor. Tnlips are much used for table decorations at this season. For "high tea" it is a pretty faihion to have separate tables of small pattern at which three or four guests can sit. The red metal called Tiffany ware Is growing more and more fashionable for articles of table service. The warm, red hue and beautiful polish of this ware make it a great addition to the beauty of a handsomely decorated table. Tea urns are particularly pretty in this ware. A very pretty centerpiece for the table is made of several large conch shells, two or three of which form the apex of a little pyramid of ferns; the tier of shells next belo? are larger and contain mosses, while the largest form the base and are arranged outward and filled with fine fioweis. A little child may be MADE HAI TY if allowed a piece cf newspaper spread over a cane seat chair, and aa Ivory knittingneedle, with which to punch holes through the paper to correspond with those In the chair. For an older child, a piece of printed paper, a cushion and a pin, with directions to pierce every o, for iastance, or any other letter chosen will amuse a long time. Another thins which amuses a baby is to get mamma's b-x of buttons and a needle with a strong thread, and allow them to string all the buttons npon the thread. A few cheap beads will answer the same purpose. Now while oranges and bananas are so plentiful, they may be used in the preparation Of EAIXTY PESSEMS. An orange charlotte is made by lining a deep dish with spocge precisely as if you were about to make charlotte-russe, then cut np enough oranges to fill the dish, cut them in slices, sprinkle sugar over them, pour a rich boiled custard over all, let it stand long enough to moisten the cake before sending to the table. For the filling for an orange short-cake, take two large oranges, peel them, chop them fine, remove the seeds, add half of a peeled lemon, and one cup of suear. Spread between the layers of short-cake while it is hot. This may be used for layer cae filling also, but in that case add the well-beaten white of one egg. Oratge custard to serve in cups is a dainty and delicious dish; the juice of ten large oranges, the yelks of ten eggs, a heaping teacupf ai of powdered sugar, and one pint of cream ; put the sugar and orange juice to getherina porcelain-lined saucepan, and set it on the stove; stir it constantly until it bubbles, then skim it and set it where it will cool; beat the yolks of the eggs very light and add them to the orange and sugar, then stir in the creaaa; let this cook very nlowjy until it of the desired thickness, then pour it Into cups. The whites of the eegi should be beaten very diligently, and a teacapful of powdered sugar be b?aten with theai; put a large spoonful of this on the top of each cap. Orange snow is delicious when prepared
