Clothe*—Bloomers In Cbnreh.

In the state of Wyoming-women have voted 011 equal terms with men since 1870, and a number of women occupy important official positions.

Bat this lady, Miss Cora M. McDonald, fills a somewhat unique office for a woman, occupying tbe chair of English in th**tate university of Wyoming. She was born in Talmadge, O., and attended school at Saletn, Columbiana oounty, O., graduating from the high school there with honor. She afterward attended Oberlin college and the University of Wooster, receiving from the last named institution the degree of A. M. She was principal of the high school at Deflanoe

for eight years, resigning to assume the principalship of the Boone (la.) high school. At the end of three years she became principal of the Cheyenne (Wy.) high school, holding that position for alike term of years^ Se was then called to the state university, first to tho principalship of tho academic department and tho work of instructor in history. Two years ago she was appointed to fill the chair of English.

Miss MoDonald was chosen to represent Wyoming nt the World's fair, delivering nn address in the Woman's building on "Literaturo for the Young."

She has all that enthusiasm which comes to tho born educator in tho giv ing and acquiring of knowledge, $nd for the past two summer terms has at tended the University of Chicago, working for tho degreee of Ph. D.—New York Journal.

Woman's FitnoM For the Law.

Tho vantage ground of the true lawyer is not tho noisy forensic arena, but his private office, in whose seclusion he con suits authorities, analyzes facts qnd carefully weighs the evidence bearing on his case. Realizing tho dignity of his profession and his responsibility as a man of honor, he aims, through wise counsels, to prevent litigation rather than to promote it. As Blaokstone defines tho law, it is: "A science which riistk'f.Tisbes the oritcrious of right and wrong which tends to establish tho one and prevent, punish or redress tho other which employs in its theory tho noblest faculties erf tho soul and exercises in its practices the cardinal virtues of tho heart a science wL.ui is universal in its use and extent, accommodated to each individual, yet comprehending the whole com munity."

Judged in this light, it is a suitable vocation for women. Especially fitted for her are thoso branches of the profession which do not necessitate appearance In the courts. For the offioe woyk, the most important work of tho jurist, sho can fit herself just as well as man. As ^JonuseU shj wpuld be oftenest sought by women, who have a horror of confiding their legal crosses and difficulties to a lawyer of tho sterner sex. In the business of drawing up briefs, abstracts, deeds, mortgages, eta, women can attain tho same facility as men.

In several of tho states of the Union women are now eligible for admission to the b. r. Tho enormous exactions of the profv ssion will prevent its ever being crowded by the physically weaker sex, but those who have a taste for hard study, who possess that power of concentrated thought and that clearness of vision which constitute what is called the legal mind—those who are willing to work, and whose mental qualifications are backed by robust physical health—need not hesitate to enter the leagl profession. The woman possessing these traits, and with them a perseverance that laughs at difficulties and a patience content to wait, if need be. long years for suocoss, really has the requisites that make the first class jurist.—Minneapolis Tribune.

Mn. HearoUa oa the Clnb Movement.

Mrs. Henrotin. in her annual address to the general federation, said of women's clubs "The woman's clnb movement has been one of the educational factors of the ^ntury. Woman, being above all praeuoal, desired to put in action some of the many theories in which she had become interested, aud most of the clubs began work on philanthropic lines, and they have enlarged their scope till the clnb calendars now embrace civics, household economies, education, sociology, literature art and science. "Iu many cities the clubs have formed federations, which are usually divided into departments covering the interests of the ctiy. .Tbe village and town improvement associations an doing excellent work on the same lint*, iuid *11 testify to tbe growing interest of women in civics. When the older club member* recall how jealously in the past club privileges were guarded, they will ponein bom the advance made how rapidly the feeling of redprocity has developed tn the cluba. Tl» women wbo lire in oMss the seeming

SP®i$I:

monotony of life in country places is difficult to apprehend. A city woman needs her club, but to the country woman it is essential, for life with her runs in a groove, and she is in danger of dropping into the personal on all questions because she is not in touch with die activities which are the power of life. The club takes the interest outside of the narrow individual life and brings it into unison with the community life, and through tbe state and general federation the community life comes into nnity with the national life."

Peach Basket Clotheebag.

For soiled clothes, garments in want of mending, unfinished sewing or general odds and ends you can make a light, handy and sightly receptacle by spending a little time and less money upon an ordinary peach basket.

Get the basket first and see that it is firm and not lopsided. Scrub it inside and ont with hot suds and set it upside down where it will drain and dry quickly—in the sunshine if possible Then buy a few yards of print, choosing a pretty pattern and colors to match your room, fSl

From it cut mree breadths, a hand's length longer than twice the depth of your basket. Sew them together, bag fashion, fold along the middle and run a case for a drawing string, leaving a double heading an inch deep. Run another case at the bottom end, but make tbe ruffle there deeper—at least two inches. For the upper end double the oloth down six inches deep, stitch it down neatly, then run two casings in the double part two inches below the edge. -1

Line the basket inside with the same cloth put in plain and coming well over the upper rim. Tack it fast then put on tbe shirred outer covering, first drawing the middle tape to fit and sewing it to the basket rim, so the heading shall stand above it The bottom one needs simply to be drawn and tied, as the slope of the basket will keep it in place. In the double casings put narrow ribbons, arranging them to draw on opposite sides like the strings of a reticule. They close the mouth of the bag formed by the upper part, which more than doubles the basket's capacity and saves its contents from dust, dirt and prying eyea

Girls In Boys' Clothes, V:

Little girls, children of the well to do, mind you, not waifs without clothes to their backs, are dressing daily for their play times in boys' trousers without skirts!

And these trousers are not cast off articles of their brothers—oh, no, thank you—they are new ones, made to order, and they reach from the waist to the fat knees, where they end, not in a ruffle, but just with a hem or a button or two, like those of any boy. Then the leg is left bare down to the wee sooks, which extend only a few inches above the ankl§ ties.

For waists these small girls wear blouses identical with their brothers', and their heads are topped with big rebellious sailor hats, which refuse half the timo to keep company even with tempting curls. 1 hope I am making it plain that suddenly, without fuss or heralding, mothers in the upper classes are dressing their young daughters during ploy time exactly as thoy do their sons. Not that the mode is goneraL My, no) If it were, you would have heard of it, and I should be writing with less insistence of the innovation.

How many little girls there are in this city who have put aside petticoats during exercise hours I do not know. Perhaps there is only a small numbor. But the fashion is countenanced by members of thateclass of women who set the modes, anT?t would be strange if it were not followed immediately by those who like to feel that they have worthy models.—New York Press.

Bloomers In Charah.

The question as to whether bloomers should be worn to church by young ladies who are fond of bicycling and would go to church awheel is one which is just now agitating the feminine rniud. The question is a many sided one. There are bloomers and bloomers. A flashy red pair of tight fitting ones would be improper almost anywhere and add nothing to the attractiveness of the otherwise beautiful wearer, but a modest, tasteful, full, appropriate bloomer suit may be comfortable and less objectiouable and surely ought not to exclude from the services of the sanctuary one who chooses to go there npen a bicycle.

It might be that a young lady iu bloomers would attract attention ir. some of our churches, and perhaps her presence would incite remark, but il her dress and her demeanor were modest and it were apparent that she was ther in a devotional spirit no well educated person would object The fact is, young lady's dress and maimer reveal her true self to others, whether it be ut church or elsewhere.

If she appears in a crowded thoroughfare upon a bicycle, dressed in any loud fashion, behaving in a boisterous, hoiden ish manner, she may think she is attracting attention, and she is, Hit- itis an attention unfavorable to her, for sensible, well bred people are offcink 1 by her and proaoonce her Qi2c.1lta.r1

and crude. On the other hand, if w*»re to attend church in a modest cy.!« suit, V) it was apparent

The W«bm Ftttfttcal Orator,"

Tbe Australian correspondent of the Boston Gongrcgatkmalist sees changes for the better as results of woman suffrage in that country. He writes in the Lnsoe of June 95:

was raised tram %JLiStle ovsc 70^000 to

nearly 187,000. There were no such Startling results from the women's votes as same seemed to anticipate. The ministry, whose policy has so strong a socialistic trend as to be scarcely distinguishable from that of the "labor party," came back to power, and the women do not seem to have materially affected the status quo in politics.

One result of womanhood suffrage has been to make parliamentary elections more orderly. This seems generally oonoeded. Another has been to introduce new kinds of political machinery. Afternoon teas and similar social functions are now made by enterprising Australian political woman effeotive electioneering agencies. Regaled by "the cup that cheers but not inebriates," political male orators are led forth by the sisters of their party to speak for the good of the cause. There are not wanting signs that the political female orator will be, if she has not already been, developed.

Learn to Dress Tour Hair.

Everything oan be learned nowadays, or it might be more accurate to say that everything is taught A hairdressing school was one of the acquisitions to the city's list of temples of knowledge last winter. Only womenwere admitted and only the care and dressing of ladies' hair were taught The pupils practice on dummy wooden heads that are provided with wiga Most of tbe classes were made up of lady's maids or women who wished to learn the trade of hairdressing to adopt as an occupation, but a considerable number took the two weeks' course solely to learn how to dress their own hair. It is a fact, often painfully self evident, that many women go through life without gaining any knowledge of what is to themselves a becoming coiffure—high foreheads accentuated, low ones spoiled and hidden and other coiffuring errors committed day after day and until they die by women who, if they had known a becoming way to dress their hair, might have added much to their personal appearanoe.—New York Letter.

Mrs. Waring*a Invention.

Mrs. Colonel Waring, wife of Colonel Waring, New York's street commissioner, has demonstrated the fact that women cope successfully with intricate municipal problems. She has invented an iron hand truck for the individual use of the street sweepers. The invention consists of a two wheeled truck with comparatively large light wheels. The body of the truck is oomposed of two iron rings one above the other. Into these rings fits a bag about the size of a coffee sack, the upper edge of which is turned over the upper rings and fastened by little hooks and so adjusted that the bottom of the bag just escapes the pavement The street sweeper puts his sweepings into the bag as he goes along until filled, when he releases it tics it up and rests it on the curb to await the collection wagon. J3e affixes another bag in the truck and continues the operation. The truck is so light than ten empty sacks are easily carried strapped to the handles. The enthusiasm of Mrs. Waring prompted her to make the city

a present of her invention.

Penn Woman's Press Association.

The latest addition to the National Woman's Press association is the auxiliary recently formed in Pennsylvania I and known as tho Penn Woman's Press association. The object of the association is to encourage and advance literary work among women, to promote fraternal intercourse and to secure the advantages that arise from organized effort. The meetings are held on alternate Thursday evenings at a hotel in Philadelphia. The association is officered as follows: President, Mrs. A. R. E. Nesbitt vice president Miss Elizabeth O. Storey secretary, Mrs. E. P. Mustin treasurer, Mrs. O. F. Weber.

Baby Afghans.

Baby afghans for summer use, says a New York writer, are made of white, pink or blue pique edged with a white insertion and a frill of white embroidery. The band put across the front of the carriage is of the pique, overlaid with an open insertion. A ivw art linen that is as yet a novelty, and which is used far pincushions, picture frames, sachets and writing desk sets, is called pompeiian red.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

A BOY POET.

Um In London, and His Verses Have Made Him Some Good Friends.

There is a boy over in London who writes such good poetry that all of the newspapers are talking about him. He is only lo years old, and he was born and brought up among the soap and candle factories of the great city. His father is an uneducated Irishman, who lost all of his money years ago and who has been compelled to work for his living in the factories ever since. Edmond Curtis, for that is the young poet's name, has been employed since he was able to do anything in a gutta percha manufactory. But in spite of the long hoars and the hard work the boy has found time for reading and writing his loved verses. And he kept at it so steadily that not long ago his work same to the notice of the editor of a weekly paper called London, and since then many of the literary men of London have read Edmond's verses and praised them.

He is a bright gray eyed boy with a fresh, clear complexion and a modest air. His new friends are going to get

EDMOND CURTIS.

him out of the city and sencl Lim to sohool, so that he may develop his remarkable faculties. Although Edmond is too poor to ride the bicycle, yet he has written some good verses on the subject Here is one of them:

TS THE COOLNESS OV AN EVENING. 5ft And the sun across the heavens §j His allotted span has run— Oh, the sweetest hour of twilight,

Then to mount the mouthless steed, Down the lane of summer verdure, Like a specter gaunt, to speed Down the road where blushing roses,

Loveliest red or daintiest white, Close their pearly petals gently As they seem to say good night, And the lowing of the cattle l|

Comes from o'er the distant hill, And the lark above the pastures |fs Its Impassioned song doth thrill.

Edmond's success shows what gnt and perseverance can do even when everything is against a boy.—Chicago Record.

-1 For Boys Who Swinw

A physician, talking last week to the editor, said: "Advise all boys who are looking forward to swimming every day this summer that in fresh water 30 minutes should be the limit of time for the daily bath. Boys think because they feel all right at tbe moment that it is proper to stay in the water as long as they like. This is a great mistake. They do not feel the ill effeots at the time, but afterward. I have recently lost a young patient, a lad of whom I was very fond, whose death was directly due to imprudence in bathing last summer. Not always fatal results ensue, but more often than boys are aware very serious consequences follow. I know of a boy who has a permanent affection of the hip, which has lamed him for life, that was produced by persistently remaining too long in the water. The many cases of fever which the early fall months develop are largely accounted for in the same way. Swimming is fine sport— there's none better—but it should be enjoyed rationally and not abused."— New York Times. rrr

A Pretty Experiment.

Take a common tumbler, partly fill it with clear water and plaoe upon its surface some pieces of gum camphor. Immediately they will begin to swim around the water, and if the camphor be lighted they will look like balls of fire floating upon the water.. Put a few drotft of oil (of any kind) into the water, ana tbe camphor will cease moving at once. And while you have the camphor at hand put a little in a clear bottle, cork it and place it in the sun for a few hours. Then you will notice beautiful, white, silky needles begin to appear around the neck of the bottle, which are so delicate and fragile in appearance that you would hardly think they could hold together.

•-y Cows That Conld Count.

Crows are not the only animals that can count Cows know something about arithmetic too. In Wisconsin there lived a farmer who kept a large herd of intelligent Jerseys in a back pasture. Once a week, on Sunday morning, it was his custom to give them salt at the gate at the end of the lane. And regularly on Sunday mornings the cows came down and waited for their treat On no other mornings did they appear, nor did they seem to make a mistake. How could they have known that it was Sunday morning, or salt morning, unless they counted? So you see cows know a good deal toa—Exchange.

A New Spirit In Hoosekeeplng.

There are hopeful signs that the boarding house epoch is giving way to an era of light housekeeping, and the economic importance of the change hardly be overestimated. Not only does it indicate that the wealth producing population is being increased by large numbers of its former dependents, but it means that the intelligence of the country is coming to be enlisted in scientific methods of housekeeping. It insures the introduction of new inventions and best appliances in the home. The New England matron jpay regulate the oomplex machinery of extensive household affairs according to the most approved methods, but it is nevertheless true that science in domestic matters has been awaiting the era of light housekeeping. Ignorance and cheap labor are the natural enemies of invention, and in the field of woman's industry the battle is not yet fought, although labor saving appliances are at last slowly winning their way in the home.—Twentieth Century Cookery.

The Tip Tilted Hat.

The tip tilted hat is likely to destroy many a reputation for beauty, as few women apparently study profile effects in the mirror. Along with tho tooth and the nail brush the use of the handglass ought to be obligatory.- Then would we be spared the sight of passe women, possessed of scrawny necks, dragging their scanty looks to the top of their heads and surmounting the tiny knot with a millinery structure which accentuates the hollowness of their cheeks and the unsymmetry of their noses. But to return to the hat thrust over the eyes, exceptional will be she whose good looks can withstand the coiffuro arrangement necessary for the proper adjustment of this new millinery angle. A painstaking study of handglass reflection is recommended to even the pretty girl if she wishes to retain her belleship.—Vogue.

Pl&xsa Chair Cnnhions.

Head rests or cushions for piazza chairs are covered with cream linens and grasseloths. They are embroidered in wash silks, and when soiled may be washed r«nd made to look fresh and new. The cushion is made in the shape of a half circle, but the cover is straight and out seven inches longer than the cushion, the encts being finished with a half inch, hemstitched border. Tho cover is drawn up at each end, leaving a three inch frill, and is tied with linen cords and tassels, by which the cushion is hung to the clrnir. A very dainty cover is made of deep cream colored linen, embroidered across one end with a hop vine and flowers in delicate greens. A grass linen cover has a graceful spray of red poppies worked across the top.

Tho Thunder's Long Roll.

Wholesome, pure and

ANDLING

The prolonged roll of thunder is readily explained by comparison with volley fired along a line of troopa Suppose troops to bo drawn up on a line in such numbers as to extend for a milo and ordered by signal that all could see to fire at once. One standing at the end of the line would hear the report of the musket nearest him instantly. Ho would hear the others successively. Thus a report 550 feet away would come to him in half a second, and he would net hear the last report for five or six seconds after the gun had been fired. This would produce a sort of roll, which would gradually increase in intensity. If the listener stood exactly midway between the two ends of the line, the reports from both ends would reach him at once, and the sound would be but half as long in reaching him as if ho stood at one extremity. If the soldiers formed a circle, there would be one sharp explosion. Flashes of lightning mny be considered as representing three lines of troops along which the explosions occur at the same time. Consider the variety of distance and position of the listener, and we account for the variety of sound in thunder. In mountainous regions tbe rolling is augmented by reverberations or echoes.—Boston Traveller.
