ENGLAND'S CATHEDRALS.
Beautiful Architectural Specimens to Be Seen In Small Towns.
It v?aa my privilege to see ten of the cathedrals of England, and situated, as some of them are, in small towns, one ?t|l comes on visiting them to know more '^Jr of the life of the people than the tourist ||l| can attain who flies from one great oity to !p lanother, says a writer in the Springfield mms Republican. Each traveler will have ill "his favorite among them, and all have their excellences and defects.
Some of them are partially spoiled by the smoke of the town, and any res'S toration ought to be welcome that will clean it off. Such is the case with
York and Lincoln and to a greater extent with Peterborough, whose magniflcent facade, or, rather, architect's conception of it, is best appreciated by the study of a photograph. As the English are not inclined $o the apotheosis of dirt, they have in many cases removed the disgrace in recent years, and Peterborough itself is now made glorious within in all the marvelous beauty of its cream white stone. When these buildings are not in smoky towns, the atmosphere, after the lapse of ages, has sometimes heightened the architectural effect, so that Ely grows old gracefully and Salisbury even beautifully. Salisbury arid Canterbury seem well nigh perfect. In Durham the marble columns are marred by a puerile fluting. The towers of York are not all finished. The wonderful central tower of Lincoln has lost its pinnacles. The great facade of Peterborough is out of proportion to the building. The external effect of Ely is too much like a fortress. The spires of Litchfield are not mates in color and are somewhat ornate, but upon Canterbury and Salisbury the eye rests content. And yet he is little to be envied who would not find intoxicating joy in every one of these, so great are they, and in their varied power so lifting the beholder above and beyond all incidental defects, and it is quite to the credit of the young woman from Springfield who is said to have burst iEto tears at the sight of Westminster abbey.
ROME AND EARTHQUAKES.
On the Margin of a Great Seat of Volcanio Energy It Rests.
The Eternal City ought to be exempt, says the London Standard, from all that appears, however remotely, to menace its stability and endurance. Yet no one •who looks from the Janiculum, or even the Forum, to the noble outline of the Alban hills can well forget that Rome is on the margin of a great seat of volcanic energy. The lake of Nemi sleeps bo serenely in its crater basin that it requires an effort of imagination to think of the time when the whole mountain mass was raised. That, of course, belongs to a prehistoric, or rather a pristine, geological age. But no prescription avails against seismic influences.
The fires of Vesuvius had become only a tradition—if, indeed, they had not been quite ^jrgotten—when the memorable outburst occurred which saved Pompeii for the modern world by suddenly converting its site into a vast expanse of ashes. Nothing so tragic, it may be hoped, is in store for the pleasant city by the Tiber. Movements of the earth have occurred many a time and oft, and have done nothing worse than give frights to the nervous and feed the superstition of the vulgar. lihe fall of Caesar was heralded by one of these convulsions. but, as far as our information goes, the only analogy to be cited from a recent experience was (She precipitate descent of a marble shield bearing the arms of Spain. Had it been the emblazonry of Portugal, a mystic significance might, just now, have been snspeoted. But enough material damage was occasioned to justify the concern created. The earthquake was no respecter of persons, for it awoke the venerable pontiff from his light slumbers in the Vatican, and roused the inmates of the prisons to frantio efforts to break through their barricades. So much more precious is life than liberty. j| p- sr. u£
The Origin of Bonfires.
It is just as well that the polioe and the insurance companies object to bonfires on election days, indifferent to the fact that street urchins are simply reviving the rites of Baal and Moloch. When Christianity ruled, old ways and customs could not be abolished, and so the heathen, still hankering after the ancient deities, but half controlled by pope or bishop, made their bonfires on the eve 3f St. Peter or St John. One use of bonfires in the not so far distant past was as a means of disinfection. In his "Hiptory of the Plague" Defoe tells of bonfires in London streets. There is reason to suppose that in kindling such fires there was still a remnant of superstition left. It was in a measure a sacrifice to Baal. As to the excellence of the method of making fires to drive away a plague, the benefit would be questionable. Anyhow it may be dwelt upon as the earliest effort made toward cremation, for it was of some slight use when an infected neighborhood caught fire and was reduced to ashes but then the remedy might have been worse than the disease.—New York Times.
A Trick of the Greeks.
A party of tourists wending its way to the Parthenon in Athens is almost certain to have attention attracted to a group of peasants animatedly discussing some object they have evidently just dug from the ground. It is a gold coin incrusted with dirt. The dust rubbed off, a coin of the time bf Philip or Alexander is disclosed. Of course every one of the party is anxious to secure the relio, which is finally bought at a very high price. The coin was made in Birmingham but a few weeks before, and its only value is its gold, which is genuine.
So Shy. -&
••Wasn't the bride delightfully timid?"
1 J?.
"Very. She was even shy ten years when it came to giving her age. "-In-
A Wholesome Face.
They were leaning against a railing near the foot of the stairs of the Brooklyn bridge at the New York side. One of them announced: "I never get tired of looking at the crowds that cross the bridge, especially at this hour, when there are so many women. It's easy enough to tell a New Yorker going to Brooklyn from a Brooklynite. The former has an air, an ensemble, a manner of dressing and of carrying hei clothes which Brooklyn women have not. Even when she is not elegantly dressed you can tell her. I could piok out one anywhere. Do you see that tall, square built woman passing the corner? Yes, the one dressed in brown, with the bonnet strings tied under her ohin. Just notioe what a sweet, wholesome face she has, full of restfulness, garnered in the City of Churches. She's Brooklyn from the top of her unfashionable bonnet to the sole of her square toed, blackened shoes." "Y
A bystander, waiting for her change from a newswoman, smiled as she saw that the "unfashionable bonnet" apd "sweet, wholesome face"' belonged to New York's well known philanthropist, Miss Grace Dodge.—New York Herald.
B, 4 i'® r.„i Bright Helen Young. Helen S. Young of Osburn, Ida., has just been admitted to the bar. It has always been supposed that women were ineligible. Section 8990 of the Idaho statutes, under the head of "Who may be admitted as attorneys," says, "Any white male citizen is entitled to admission as attorney and counselor in all the courts of the territory." Chief Justice Morgan, however, has deoided in favor of Miss Young. He said he derived his authority to admit women to praotioe from section 18, artiole 5, of the state constitution, which provides that "the legislature has no power to deprive the judicial department of any power of jurisdiction which rightfully pertains to it as a co-ordinate department of the government," and that the admission and control of the attorneys were within the purview of this section of the constitution. When asked if the same interpretation of the statute would apply to the admission of negroes, the chief justice replied that he thought it would. The Lewiston (Ida.) Tribune says, "If all the women that are admitted to the bar in this state are as bright and apt as Helen Young, the old practitioners may well look to their laurels.''
Some Women Insurance Agents.
In Mrs. E. E. Kanzleiter, Bucyrus.O., has a novelty in the way of a woman insurance agent. Mrs. Kanzleiter is the wife of a wealthy banker of that place and a leader in society. She is in business from choice and handles three companies in a way highly satisfactory to the managers. Thus Mrs. Kanzleiter has an independent income, which is. said to be largely devoted to charity.
Mrs. Mell Cobaugh is an enterprising agent of Canton, O. She has four companies, makes a good living and is highly respected.
Miss E. P. Hazlett of East Liverpool, O., is another successful woman insurance agent. Several years ago her brother died, ana Miss Hazlett undertook the management of the business. The community applauded her grit, and she has been remarkably successful. She is agent for nine companies.
Miss Jennie Hamilton of Wellsville, O., took up the business when her father died a year or two ago.- She not only maintained but greatly increased her father's business. She has four companies.
Bights of Women.
Should a woman be a minister? Yes, if she can preach a helpful sermon and n«n put up with the wear and tear of a minister's life. Should a womwi be a physician? Yes, if she has the skill neoessary to diagnose a case and the con•Btitution to stand the life. Should a woman be a lawyer? Yes, if she has prepared herself and can plead a case successfully and can live the life of a lawyer. Should a woman be a man? No, never. God has made some differences between the man and woman physically, and we should heed them. Should a woman vote? Yes. Not because she is a woman. The right to vote is not inborn. It is the gift of our government. Women pay taxes, and for that reason they should vote, and not because they are women.—Rev. H. O. Peeples, Baptist, Rochester.
Is History So Horrible?
Heinrich von Treitschke, royal historian of Prussia and professor of history in Berlin university, is an enemy of the new woman, and despite the toleration of his superior officials in the ministry of education will not allow her to attend his lectures. Two weeks ago, in the middle of his morning lecture, he spied a girl in the crowded auditorium. He at once dropped his manuscript, rose from his seat and walked from the platform to the young woman's seat. He indnoed her to rise by offering her his arm, and escorted her from the room. Subsequently be remarked: "I do not intend to have these women folks at my lectures. I will station the big janitor at the door if they persist and have him throw them out" {-f^
English "Lady Journalists."
The "lady journalist," as they call her in England, is finding considerable difficulty in securing a man's pay for a man'.3 work. The suit of aMiss Taylor against her employer has brought out some interesting testimony on this point She was engaged as editor of an Edinburgh weekly papei at a salary of $200 a year, and subsequently when the office of the journal was removed to London her salary was advanced to $5 a week and eventually to $10.
A Busy Queen.
The queen of Italy is now studying the Hebrew language and literature with diligence and is* .making great progress. Lately, when in Venice, she received in audience Rabbi Caen Porto, with whom she conversed'in the ancient language of the Jews.

She is the youngest daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the second still unmarried. Her eldest sister, Prinoess Louise, married the Duke of Fife. The other daughter, Princess Victoria, is waiting for an opportunity to make some eligible prince happy.
The future husband of Princess Mand is Prince Karl of Denmark. The princess was born Nov. 26, 1869, and is therefore 26 years of age. The prince was born Aug. 8, 1872, and is therefore only 28 years of age. The princess has reached an age much later than that at which most princesses are married, and has developed a well defined character of her own. The prince, however, is reported to be .amiable as well as youthful, and it is to be hoped he will npt give iter much trouble.
The prince and prinoess are first copg4 ina The list of such marriages in the English royal family is already remarkably long. The princess' mother, the Princess of Wales, is a daughter of the king of Denmark. The young prince is the second son of Crown Prinoe Frederick of Denmark, whose father is king of Denmark.
The young people are said to be in love with one another, a statement oommonly made by the English newspapers
PRINCESS MAUD,'
when a royal engagement is announced The Times eavs, "The fact that it is a pure love match, free from all suspicion of state influenoe, will add immensely to its popularity with the English people." The same thing was said when the Princess May of Teck was engaged to Prince Albert Victor of Wales. He died and she immediately fell in love, with and married his brother.
The Princess Maud is short, dark and vivacious. The prince is very big, blond and sedate. Both are fond of ath 1^9 sports.

Besides bearing the name of Harry in the royal family the princess is also known as Miss Mills. In order to avoid the ceremony which must inevitably attend the doings of a princess she has made visits to country houses under this name and insists that her hosts$nd their visitors and servants should regard her as an untitled woman. This was no doubt pleasant for the princess, for after a few years' experience it must be rather wearisome to have nobody sp6ak until you start the conversation and nobody do anything until you give them permission. As Miss Mills she made many friendships, and It is said that many young Englishmen have lost their hearts to that lady. She made one visit of two Weeks where her rank was not known io the other visitors the whole time.-—Chicago Tribune.
f.i gmothered YelL
It is the proud boast of Radoliffe college that it has no "yells" of any kind. It does not approve thdm. Never since the institution was founded has it been responsible for any sort of oollege« class or society whoop. Its state of mind may therefore be imagined when it was rumored that this year's freshman class contemplated a "yell." A xfiass meeting of the other classes was at once held, And it was voted to crush the freshman class With an iron hand should anything of the sort be so much as attempted. Upon hearing this the freshmen said that they would "see about it," but it is significant that the Radoliffe campus has not yet been profaned by the reverberations Of a yelL
The Best Dressed Woman.
In spite of the fact that eight and nine gored skirts are still in vogue, and skirts measuring from six to nine yards aj^und the hem are yet fashionable, they are not so much worn by the belt dressed women. Four and one-half or five yards is quite full enough for a skirt of any figure, and more width than this is not productive of stylish results unless, of course, the skirt be kilted or a plaited one, and, in the opinion of the writer, a seven gored skirt, well shaped and well hung, is the best model for the majority of women, says an authority on fashions.
Miss Frances Power Cobbe, who resently celebrated her seventy-third birthday, is said to have been the first woman to do regular office Work on the editorial staff of a London daily. When The Echo was established, she was engaged to write loaders for it

The princess is a favorite with the gayest and most hospitable set in English society. She has no doubt inherited some of her father's liberal ideas', as many as are good for a young woman. She has not been overawed and reduced to respectable dullness by her august grandmother.
In the family circle she is known as "Harry." This is a very interesting fact. The name Harry sounds very suitable for a young woman of high spirits and sporting inclinations.
