WOMAN'S BIBLE.

A Spcdmra of the Work Compiling Cndu '"fe"' the Dirveiton of HM. SUuntonu ^s Her« is a specimen chapter from the "Woman*8

Bible" which is being com

piled by a revising oommittee of leading women of most civilised nations. They propose to comment simply oil all texts in the Old and New Testaments that refer to women. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton of 261 West Sixty-first street is. chairman of the committee, and information concerning the work may be obtained from her. The special men chapter is Numbers xxvii, l-U, and, with Mrs. Stanton's comments, is as follows: 1. Then came the daughters of SSelopbebad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gtlead, the son of Macbir, the son of Manaaseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and these art (he names of hla daughters Mahlah, Nw«h and Hogiah and Milcah and Tirzah. 2. Asd they stood before Moses and before

Eleazar, the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying: 8. Our father died In the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselvestogether against the Lord lathe company of Korah. 4. Why should the namo of our father be done away from among his family because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father. 5. And MGOCS brought thoir cause before the Lord. 0. IT And the Lord spake unto Mooes, saying. 7. The daughters of Zelophehad speak right thou shalt surely give them a possession or an inheritance among their father's brethren, and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 8. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and have no son, then ye shall cause bis Inheritance to pass unto ids daughter. 0. And if be haw no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 10. And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 11. And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall ttive his inheritance unto his kinsman that is nest to him of his family, and he shall possess it, and it shall bo unto the children of Israel a Btatuto of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.

The respect paid to the daughters of Zelophehad at that early day is worthy tho imitation of* the rulers in oar own times. These daughters were no doubt fine looking, well developed women, gifted with the power of eloquence, able to impress their personality and arguments on that immense assemblage of the people. They were allowed to plead their own case in person before the lawgivers, the priests and the princes, the rulers in state and church, and all the congregation, at the very door of the tabernacle. They presented their case with such force aisd clearness that all saw the justice of their claims. Moses was so deeply impressed that he at once retired 4p his closet to listen to the still small voice of conscience and coiumune with his maker. In response the Lord said to him, "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right, if a man die and leave no sou, then ^e shall cause his inheritance to pass unto Lis daughters." It would have been commendable if the members of the late constitutional convention in New York had, like Moses, asked the guidance of the Lord in deciding the rights of the daughters of the Van Rensselaers, the Stuyvesants, the Livingstons and tho Knickerbockers.

Their final action revealed the painful fact that they never thought to take the case to the highest court in the moral universe. The daughters of Zelophehad were fortunate in being all of one mind, none there to plead the fatigue, the publicity, tho responsibility of paying taxes and investing property, of keeping a bank account and having some knowledge of mathematics. The daughters of Zelophehad wfere happy to accept all the necessary burdens inspired by the laws of inheritance, while the daughters of the Knickerbockers trembled at the thought of assuming tho duties involved in self government.

As soon as Moses laid the case before tho Lord ho not only allowed the justice of the claim, but gave "a statute of judgment" by which the Jewish magistrates should determine all such cases in tho division of property in the land of Canaan in all aftfar ages.

When the rights of property were scoured to married women in the state of Now York in 1S48, a certain class were opposed to the measure, and would cross the street to avoid speaking to the sisters who had prayed awl petitioned for its success. They did not object, however, in due time to use the property thus secured, and the same typo of women will as readily avail themselves of all the advantages of political equality when tho right of suffrage is secured,—New York Sun.

2UTIn Nightingale's Adrloe.

The Young Woman publishes the following autograph message to the girls of Great Britain from Miss Nightingale: "My 'message' to girls would be: (1) Train yourselves to your work, to your life. The last 25 or 80 years have recognized beyond everything this necessity of training. (8) Have a higher object than the mere undertaking in all you undertake. When we fail or are disappointed, we lose heart and perhaps •strike work.' But if we have recognized ourselves as (I will not say only) a wheel or a tool in the hands of that Almighty highest and truest and best, we have that blessing of being apart of the whole, and whatever our own failures are never cast down. (8) As one of the best women workers of our day says, •The talk now is of rights, not right.' Let that not be our case. I am myself always a prisoner from illness and overwork", but all the more I wish you godspeed." '.y

Bniilth Woman Suffragist*. The English woman suffragists have collected and published in the London Echo opinions from many eminent divines, English, Scotch and Irish, in favor of extending full parliamentary suffrage to women- The list includes the bishop of London, the dean of Durham, Dr. James Martineau, Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, Canon Wilberforce, Dr. Newman 6all, the bishop of Edinburgh and many others. The Boston Transcript says, "Tliis does not look as if the 200,000 women in Great Britain who already possess the municipal suffrage had made a very bad use of it."

How Mr*. Lem«k« Boa*d a Shad. A numbs* of your readers here are greatly Interested ta the reports of Mrs. Lemcke'n oooking classes In Grand Central palaoe. On April 23 she was reported as having boned a shad. Are we to understand that every tiny bone was removed or only the back and adjacent large onoal A full explanation of the prooesa would be gratefully received by ua

MAA. J. H. A

Mrs. Lemcke did remove every tiny bone from the shad in the following manner: She held the flah in a swiinniing position, splitting it dpwn the back with a sharp knife. Then she out off the head and tail and commenced boning it by holding the knife close to the backbone and loosening the flesh from it on both sridea, Next, the fish was laid open and the backbone taken out This left the adjacent large hones exposed to full view. They were quickly removed, and only the small bones remained to be taken out Many of these are yisible, and those that are not can be readily distinguished by the touch and have to be picked out one at a time. This is tho most tedious part of the operation, but after one has tried it a few times a certain knack is acquired, and the job is over in muoh less time than it takes to describe it After all of the bones are out the skin is removed and the fish cut into fillets, when i$ is ready for frying or baking after being seasoned with salt and pepper and dipped in bread crumbs. A boned shad cannot be broiled. —New York Sun.

From a French Point of View. The Marquis de Castellane's article, "Fifteen Days In the United States," occupies 24 pages of The Revue de Paris. Here is an extract: "This concentration of the American train on two ideas—the wish to be free and the seeking of a fortune by work— has not failed to impress upon the race certain physioal characteristics. Without being of exceptional beauty, the race is vigorous. One feels that it is young. "The women are neither painted nor covered with rice powder, nor are they anaemia All, or almost all, of them have superb complexions. They are tall, and very few appear in ill health. But in vain one seeks upon their faces the expression of their sensations or sentiments. Certainly, and perhaps happily for them, they have not been initiated into the refinement of sensibility, into artistic enthusiasms. Their soulsj too, have only gravitated since their childhood around the two ideas that have animated their fathers and which Will animate their husbands—the passion of independence and the passion of work. The characteristics of American beauty are pride and curiosity, as those of the French beauty are grace and submission.

A Silk Gown.

la spite of the epidenjio of crepons a silk gown is necessary for every1 'woman's wardrobe, says a fashion writer in the Boston Herald. Indeed the greater number she can have the smarter she will be this summer. The silks are simply bewijdering in their beauty and in the variety of design. With so many to choose from it is small wonder that nervous prostration is the fashionable complaint at present. The India and China silks have lost their firm hold, and taffetas, broches and such ilk are the silks of the day. The old patterns that were fashionable in our grandmothers' time have all revived and resemble so wonderfully the old time silk that now the girl who was lucky enough last year to put away silks and brocades which had belonged to grandmothers and greataunts can no longer put on airs of superiority, for in almost all the shops can be found the exact counterpart of what she so proudly wore last year— identical in texture, coloring and design.

Kate Douglas Wlggin-Rlggs. The recent marriage of Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin and Mr. George Riggs inspires a writer in the London Queen to the following graceful tribute which will be appreciated by Mrs. Riggs' many American friends "Most people in London literary society will remember Mrs. Wiggin-Riggs a tall, beautiful, supremely elegant woman, who looked as if the late Mr. Worth gave his entire attention to dressing her—a woman whose hair was like burnished gold, and whose beauty was at once spiritual and vivacious. I never beard an author give readings from his or her books with as much spirit as Mrs. Wiggin-Riggs. She used to give extracts from her 'Timothy's Quest,' than which no recently published work is fuller of dry New England humor, and from her 'Bird's Christmas Carol,' a book for big and little chil* dren, worthy of comparison with Julian* Horatia Ewing."

A Rumor About the Chignon. The latent rumor in regard to hairdressing is that tho waterfall or chignon is about to return and render the heads of womankind the monstrosities they were a generation ago. Even the accompanying not is threatened. The only comfort is that this is a "go-aa-you-pleaae" era, and it is not at all likel that a fashion so ugly will provail to any great extent A more immediate prophecy that the demure parting is about to depart and the pompadour will Like its place.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

A DOLL PLANT.

How Dlok Played a t»ngh»bl« Tridk on His Little SUter. Little Elsie felt herself qnite a gardener as she walked across the lawn with her new rake and watering oan. "My garden will always look nioe now, for I can rake it smooth with my new rake, and I sBall water it every evening, and then the seeds will come up, and the flowers will look froah."

And Elsie held Mp her head and looked qnite proud. She had not gone far before she met her brother Diok. "Ah," said ho, "you are going to do your garden. Have you any seed to sow?" "No," said Elsie. "It ianot the right time." ,j,v ..«•••..rf.k.s'/-• "Doll seed titay bo sown at any time, said Diok, taking two large beans out of his pocket "Don't set them very deep and come out every morning and see if they have come up.'1

Dick was very fond of playing his sister tricks, though his mother told him it was wrong to do so, and he laughed as he saw Elsie going on with her beans, whioh she set near some flowerpots.

One morning. Dick went off to the garden with a small paper parcel and hid himself behind some bushes. Presently Elsie came along, and when she looked at her garden she spread out her hands and said: "Oh I"

For close by the flowerpots lay a pretty little wax dolL She did not wait to pick it up, but ran to the houae, calling out:

Mother, mother, my doll seed has oonie up! Come and lode I" Her mother came, and when she saw Dick looking through the bushes she said: "Oh, Dick, Diok, you have been playing your sister another trick I"—Boston Standard.

To Make a Daisy Chain.

This is almost picnic time, and it will be a novelty for the girls to know hdw to make flower wreaths for their hats, so that they may spend one day doing as their favorites about whom they read always do. First, be careful how you pick tho flowers. Break them with as long stems as possible. Make the stem into a loop, slip the head of the noxt daisy through it, draw the loop tightly, loop the next and keep on looping and slipping in flowers and tying until you have a string long enough to fasten around your hat Another way to make daisy chains is to slit the stems close to the flower and slip one stem through an* other, thus making a close set wreath.

Lydia E. Pinkbam devoted her life to the study of female diseases and their chute and she discovered in the Vegetable Compound an absolute remedy. It succeeds in removing the cause of the trouble.

Women who rely more upon their own natural common-sense, rather than on the theories of their physicians, write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and are soon restored to health.

Here is a living example: "Four months ago I was unable to stand on my feet. I had Jf falling of the womb, kidney trouble, and inflammation of the bladder the backache an a in down pain? were dreadful. My physician could give me no relief. A friend said, try Lydia E.

In a not very long career this artist •has had her share of honors. She has held four times the Mary Smith prize awarded by the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. She won the Norman Dodge prize at the National Academy of Design in 1898. In the same year she was elected a member of the Society of American Artists.

"I can't. There is no place to make. Yon wouldn't have a pocket to spoil that seam, now, would you? It would bulge you out just awful!"

Horrid thought which gives the victim pause. Then the seance resumes: "Why cant yon put a slanting pocket nearly to the front? I've seen a lot of tailor made dresses with just sneh pockets. They area little on the trousers order, I suppose, btit they are better than nothing!"

Dressmaker (pityingly)—They would be worse than nothing in that dress. The goods would all fray out in no time, and then w.hpre yronld your, pocket be?
