PLUCKY MISS CALDWELL, WHO RODE Tb SHASTA'S SUMMIT.

Woman and the Lore of Admiration. A prona In Holland—1Tight SImtmIn Din* ner Bodices—Sealskin* and Substitutes.

Girl* Who Attempt Suicide.

Miss Hat tie Caldwell of Gold Hill, Or., is the only person who has ever ridden to the summit of Mount Shasta.

It is a daring and adventurous enough feat to climb afoot to the crest of snow capped Shasta, as many tourists who have undertaken the trip will bear wit* ness, bnt to guide a horse up the rocky and slippery trails, that's something really worth boasting about.

The daring young girl who accomplished the climb successfully is only 16 years old. She made the trip early in September. Her success is owing chiefly to her trusty guide, Tom Watson of Sisson, a 'mountaineer whose akill is known to all frequenters of the region

MISS IIATTIE CALDWELL.

about Mount Shasta. Besides Watson and Miss Caldwell, G. B. Sommerman and Master Charles Mills of Sisson were in the party.

The party left Sisson on the 2d of September, going by way of Squaw valley and reaching the old Mountain House at 4 p. m. Jolly Tom Watson knew every step of the way from Sisson to the summit. For over 15 years he has been over those roads and trails dozens of times every summer.

At the old Mountain House all passed a oomfor table night, and the next morning they were astir early and off on th trail by 6 o'clock. They traveled all that day over rough ridges and up mountain paths and reached the upper limit of the timber belt about sunset. There they oamped by a stream of clear and cold snow water. Every one had a ravenous appetite, and every one was tired out But they built a rousing campfire and stood watch by turn to guard the camp against four footed night prowlers. It grew frightfully cold before morning dawned, and all the blankets in stock were in great demand. But all rested well and had wolfish de sires for the coffee and ham that furnished thoir breakfast.

Long before "sun up," as every one in the mountains calls dawn, they were again on their way, up, up, up. There was snow everywhere, and traveling over it was not the greatest sport in the world. Watson guided the party around the east side of the mountain and through tho deep gap known as Mud Creek oanyon. The air was delightful and the sconcry superb. Watson is a oheery companion, full of jokes and quips and turns and stories of mountain doings. The travelers nearly forgot they were mountain climbing when suddenly Lunoh rock was ut hand. This rook is a massive picoe of granite that overhangs a perpendicular cliff thousands of feet high. It is a charming spot, with magnificent glimpses of the great valley strotchod out far below.

After lunch the journey was resumed Heavenward the party toiled. Steeper and more jagged the rooks became as tho summit drew nearer. Then the ice fiold, fully a mile in extent, was crossed, and beyond were the hot springs. From the springs to the summit is only 800 yards, but tho incline is the steepest of the whole trip. Plucky Miss Caldwell never flinched, although there were plaoes where a single misstep of the faithful old horse meant death for horse and rider down deep in the precipitous canyon thousands of feet below.

This last olimb is over what is known *8 "the pinnacle," on which stands the monument put there by the coast and geodetio survey 15 years ago. It is a monument of out stone and was all carried up the mountain side by Indians. Mr. Sisson, tho contractor for that task, charged a mountain freight rate of 80 cents a pound. At just 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Sept 4 the summit was attained at last The guide and Master Mills gave three cheers for the plucky girl who bud beaten all .records by riding to Shasta's crest. They cheered tho borne, too, but he didn't seem to appreciate tho glory and looked very much as though he wished he was safe homo again.—San Francisco Examiner.

Woman and the Love of Admiration.

One of those ''emancipated" women who are said to be abroad in the land, but who oan't be distinguished by mm from any other wcunea, write* as follows: "Without going into all the dry details of the relationship of the sexes in primitive times and among uncivilised peoples we may just take the broad facts which are known to and admitted by •very one. Woman has, of course, alw*ys been and always must be man's physical inferior, and in times past she has been actually if not literally bis slav*. She baa been the toy and spcnrt cf with one, and only one, chance cl averting herself. "This bss been the exercise of personal "harm, which has enabled her to move in tuan the passion called love and thereby to secoro an ascendency over him. The love of power, which i» ^wnmnn to both MM. has tXttbm.

and realizing that she could only be powerful b7 arousing the sentimental passion in man she has put forth all her endeavors, 'to find favor in his sight,' as the old phrase has it "Now, as one of those women'to whom men apply the scornful teem 'emancipated,' I should like to point out this important fact—that our sex is gradually beginning to recognize that it is ignoble to seek for admiration simply for it8 doll-like qualities. We have not lost our vanity, though we are no vainer than men, but we are now aiming at winning admiration in worthier fields—namely, in intellectual walks. "We shall still pride ourselves on our good looks when we have them. We shall still do our best to dress well and tastefully. We shall still look forward to wifehood and shall not lose our maternal instincts, but we shall no longer allow our features and our gowns to dominate our lives. "Undoubtedly we are 'emancipated.' All fields of activity are being opened to ns, and the men who now sneer and gibe at us for our 'newness' will soon come to Bee that we are more companionable and possess more lasting attractions than in the days when our faoes were our fortune and when a few wrinkles and gray hairs announced the end of our reign. "To put my arguments into a nutshell, my contention is that the prevailing passion of women has been the love of admiration because it has become hereditary instinct of the raoe that in personal charm lies our only power, Now that we are at last allowed to eul tivate our intellects and put tbem to practical use our bid for power will be on what I consider higber grounds. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Aprons In Uolland.

An apron of fine, creamy holland Which you can get just a yard wide and of which you will only require a single yard, as the depth of tho skirt need not exceed 27 inches, and your remaining quarter of material will serve for the bib, is pretty for house wear. Nothing could be easier than the manufacture of the skirt part, which has a fairly wide hem at the bottom and sides and is gathered somewhat finely at the waist into the band. By way of trimming, put at the bottom of the skirt three bands of fashionable grass lawn. You must ohoose a very, open^pptjtorii, as there is to be a running of ribbon be Death. Stitch these on at intervals of about inches, starting just that depth above the hem. Two and a half yards of lawn, inoluding a strip for the bib, will be enough, reckoning that your bands of insertion do not extend over the wide hems on each side.

You must cut away the holland beneath the bands afterward, and when it is tidily hemmed baok insert a bright oherry colored ribbon, which is drawn forth at each end in a smart rosette. The bib is out in three points. The oenter point is formed of the lawn, folded over at the top to produce the triangular effect, and beneath it runs the oherry colored ribbon to match the skirt A pretty finish is afforded by the pair of rosettes on the corners of the bib. These are matje of ribbon of exaotly the same hue, but only an inch wide. You will want a yard of ribbon for eaoh rosette and a third of a yard to make the straps, starting from them and meeting in the center of the back. This holland apron, with its lawn insertions and cheerful ribbons, will be a very natty little garment with which to conoeal a shabby gown on a dull or dark day.— Philadelphia Telegraph.

Tight Sleeves In Dinner Bodiees.

It is in the Frenoh dinner bodices that one sees the quite tight sleeves, but these are generally of lace, mousseline de soie or ohiffon, ruffled from shoulder to wrist, showing the arm through their transparency and being finished at the armhole with ruffles of lace, chiffon or ribbon. A fine example is of mauve mousseline de soie, acoordion plaited over silk and having tight sleeves of brussels lace falling down even over the wrist in the fashion made notioeable by Sarah Bernhardt With this was a bertha of brussels lace, double ruffles of the mousseline de soie over the shoulders, and the deoolletage was trimmed with bunches of purple and pink orchids. This radiant bodice was worn with a skirt of mauve and pink shaded moire, varied on different occasions by a skirt of white satin or one of black, so that it quite took the place of three gowns instead of one.

The blaok shirt with a light bodioe is, however, no longer considered the proper thing for evening wear, unless, indeed, the wearer is going to a party on the street cars instead of taking a carriage. For the most part black skirts should have blaok or black and white bodices for evening wear. At any rate, the main feature should be black, even if brightened by other colors. You can see for yourselves how rational all this is. A singularly handsome evening bodio made in black acoordion plaited ohiffon over geranium red satin had transparent tight fitting sleeves of the chiffon to the wrist Folds of red velvet and jet passementerie outlined the deoolletage, and the whole effect—though somewhat Mepbistophelian, I grant yon—was extremely smart and fetching.—Polly in Qhioago Times-Herald.

BwliMwi and Sabetltvtes.

The first consignments of sealskins reached London, now the greatest market and distributing center of the world's yearly crop of fur, a few weeks since, but the sales are not likely to be held before Deoembeor. Although the skins from British Columbia and the Bering sea, as well as from the Pribilof and Copper islands, are much smaller than those of last year, it is quite possible that prices will not be raised in proportion to the depreciated oatch. This if largely doe to the fact that what is called electric seal has found its way into common use to such an extent that the value cf true sealskin has become 'easened in the cgrea of the furriers' fair customers.

Electric seal is nothing mora than the

Certain chronic diseases are said to prolong life because they tend to make the sufferers abstain from customary follies. Perhaps the most reckless of all persons are those who have every reason to think that they may some day have consumption. They are fatalists to such an extent that they regard every cold taken as a matter of course and feel that sooner or later the ourse will develop. This is worse than folly, for it is held by many scientists that disease itself is not hereditary, only the tendency to disease. Therefore the seeds of consump tion are sown by the victims themselves, not by their ancestors. The distinction is one that should be impressed upon all who believe "there is consumption in the family."—Brooklyn Eagle.

Blaek Materials.

Blaok materials are to be greatly favored this winter, and a special and attractive exhibit of stylish and elegant blaok goods made this week inoluded Frenoh armures with bourette knots, mohairs and canvas weaves with bouole figures, English whipcords, camel's hair serges with glossy silk and wool stripes in raised designs, plain and fanoy alpacas and brilliantine8, satins, moires, both plain and brocaded, henriettas in silk warp and sheer all wool combinations, drap d'ete, repped silks and repped wools in both fine and heavy cords, new designs in crepons and many handsome textiles in crepon effects. The mohairs and henrietta cloths, the faced cloths, are represented in different qualities and prices, and possess a degree of durability that is unsurpassed by nearly any black material save silky English serge, whioh is Ifess dressy in effeot thrn the finer woven fabrics. Many other standard black textiles are displayed that are in steady demand, as the outlook for the winter season indicates an even greater demand for handsome black fabrics than was experienced a year ago, when this oolor largely prevailed.—New York Post

Mew York Women Officials.

It was in the guise of stenographer and typewriter that the first woman was introduced into the oity's service in New York. A year ago an innovation was made in the appointment of a woman draftsman in the city works department Now there are no fewer than 60 women in the municipal building. The woman draftsman has planned sewers and other city constructions, and her work is in every way equal to that of the men. The hours of all these women are easy and the pay is very good, rur ning from $800 to $1,200 for stenographers to $2,600 to women skilled in engineering or architecture.

To Make the Sleeves Stand Oat.

You can puff out the thin sleeves of fancy waists by using a separate sleeve of stiff paper cam brio or crinoline, white, made very full, half way to elbow and gathered to a narrow band at the top. This, if basted inside of tl thin dress sleeve, will answer every purpose. One yard of material will make a pair of extenders.—Ladies' Home Journal.

I am told by one who ought to know that sable and ermine, as well as chin ohilla, will this coming season dispute, the supremacy of sealskin. No successful imitation of the rare Russian sables has yet been found, and it is likely that these beautiful skins will bring a more exorbitant price than ever this year. London Letter. *1

akin of the ordinary French tame rabbit scientifically treated. The skins are first dressed to obtain pliability and softness, the coat afterward passing under a machine of extraordinary delicacy, which shears down the stronger and coarser hairs, giving at the same time a softness and "flow" to what is left The dyeing is skillfully managed to give art ful gradations of golden brown under the surfaoe, while the final stage manipulation is assisted by eleotridty, really marvelous machinery removing any undesirably stiff hairs that may have been left by the first machine. It is curious that only the skin of the domestic rabbit can be so treated.

Girls Who Attempt Solclde. 5

A clever doctor has declared that the only natural death is that caused by old aga All others are by accident or sui cide. Girls who shudder at the thought of self destruction, who would turn with loathing from man or woman who had attempted suicide, are nevertheless frequently guilty of the same crime. She who goes out in low shoes in the raw, cold days who wears thin soles when the walks are damp who, getting wet, will not take the trouble to change boots or clothing who in order to wear a specially becoming gown will put on underclothing lighter than that to whioh she is accustomed, is just as surely guilty of attempted suicide as if she took poison or jumped into the river. "Nothing hurts me" cannot be said truthfully by any one, no matter how robust The fact that confirmed invalids often out live members of their families who have always enjoyed perfect health is well known and is readily accounted for by the oare which invalids take of them selves.

A PASTOR'S ASSISTANT*

lOas Alberta S. Garber Has That Position la a Boston Church.

2itiss-Alberta D. Garber, who has recently been elected as associate organ-

iser in the Everyday church, Boston, began work on the 1st of October. It will be interesting to the friends of the "Everyday church to know that Miss

Garber is a graduate of the Ohio State university at Columbus in the class of '89 with a degree of B. Ph. She also holds the degree of A. M. from the same nniversity for special work dope in,history and law. *\'j

But Miss Garber is sometEIng more than a college bred woman. Upon leaving oollege she went into the kitchen and took a practical course in general housekeeping, accompanied with and followed by all the arts of housekeeping which generally fall to the lot of women. Not satisfied with this, she has also had a practical business training in her father's own office, where as bookkeeper and stenographer she made herself acquainted with all the details of an important business

In addition to this, in connection with the Associated Charities of Cincinnati, the Social Settlement of the same oity and the Lending Library association, she has acquired no small insight into the charitable and philanthropic enterprises so much needed in a great city. She comes with strong recommendations from her pastor in Cincinnati, as well as from Mr. Philip Ayers, now secretary of the Associated Charities in Chicago. Miss Garber was for six years a. member of the state exeoutive board of the Ohio Y. P. C. U., serving in succession as reoording secretary, corresponding secretary and president, where she gained a wide experience as organiser of religious enterprises.

This will perhaps be sufficient to indicate that it is no mere novioe who is taking the place as associate organizer at the Everyday church. Although only 2? years of age, Miss Garber has already had a wide and varied experience as well as a thorough intelleotual training, which amply fits her for the exacting duties of her new position.— Boston Journal.

Mrs. Arthur Sewall.

Mrs. Arthur Sewall, wife of the Democratic candidate for vice president, is a daughter of the late Charles Crook er of Bath, Me. She was educated in Ipswich and afterward traveled extensively in thid country and Europe. She is a wide reader, a proficient student and a good French soholar. In addition, she has the artistio temperament A large collection of water colors and landscape photographs made by her in her travels testifies to this, and she has received diplomas for her work as an expert amateur photographer in Paris, New York and Boston.
