WOMAN'S POSITION/

THE CHANGES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE DURING FIFTY YEARS.

Education, Bmployment* and Their Financial and Social Condition* Considered, With Enpeclal Reference to Ifaaaachuaetta.

Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson, writing in The Woman's Journal, thus rams up the advancement of women eince 1638:

After 60 years of woman suffrage agita-! tlon in America it Is worth while to notlce fiome of its resui.J in respect to the, position of American worann, and thia

Kmployinnnts.—These changes in education have had a very important bearing on the employments of women. The two occupations to which women wore mainly confined half a century ago in Massachu setts were household work and school teaching. Our rural schools were then generally divided into two separate departments—a siuiimer school taught by a woman and a winter school taught by a man The reason of this distinction lay in the fact that farmers' boys generally worked out of doors in summer and went to school in winter, at which season a stronger hand was supposed to be needed. In Horace Mann's first school report (1837) ho pointed out that a little mor than half the teachcrs In Massachusetts were already women, but that the number should be great ly increased. By the last report of Horace Mann's present successor tho number of women is given as 10 out of 11. As a rulo men occupy ''ow tho hlghor positions in graded schools, and as sueh have hlghor compensation, but oven this is not uni versai, and tho tendency of normal schools and women's colleges is to produce an in creasing number of those who oan compete for such positions. A favorito motto of Horaco Mann was that "a woman will find out whore a child's mind is quickest." To be sure women find it dlflioult even now to secure opportunities for tho very highest grade of educational work, most of the teaching in women's colleges, oxcef at Wellesley, being done by men, but they are making a steady march in that direction. In literary employment they have found fewer obstacles on tho wholo than anywhere elso, except perhaps in tho drama, and have had fnlrer pay, and the importance of tho positions occupied by women In the way of journalism and editorship has very greatly increased. Tho same is true also of the numerous openings in library work which they now ilnd. Bookkeeping and typewriting are passing very ha-gely into their hands, especially the latter. The change Is very noticeable in the large buildings now devoted to law and mercantile otllces, which formerly would have had a solely masculine population, whereas now. you find a woman in almost every room. The totiil absence of scandal or other discomfort as a result of this Inst, change la one of the most remarkable signs of progress in our society. In general tho number of occupations now assigned In our census reports to women indicates a permanent change in habits.

Financial Condition.—-In proportion as women become bread earners their knowledge of business, of course, increases, and they are in this respect far loss dependent than was the ease half a century ago. In every benevolent society of ladles, for instance, it was once considered necessary that the treasurer should bo a man, whereas women constantly now attend to this duty for themselves. It is much more common than formerly for wives and daughters to have a separate allowance, ami the number who have their own bankbooks must, have greet ly increased. It is much more common than formerly fori huslxwuis recognize that women are! really business jmrtners in a family, and are jiustly entitled to an allowance, not as| a favor, but as a right. A glance at Mr. Sewall's record of the changes In Massa-l chuseits laws will show that the legal po-j

their favor, in view of the fact that husbands are still liable for wives' debts, while wives are not liable for those of their husbands. .Social Condition.-—The most marked change in tho social condition of women in Massachusetts lias been the great multiplication of women's clubs. These have given great opportunity of work, study and mutual cooperation among women. They have accustomed women to leadership* to rule* of order and to business methods. Much of their work may be thus far elementary and superficial, but this evil will cure Itself. They undoubtedly have the defect belonging to men's clubs—that of being made up of one sex only, being in this respect, In my judgment, less promising than the farmers' granges, whl-h have tho co-operation of both #exes. It Is to be hoped that the same skill and energy which have created the women's clubs will In time devise •ome method of oo-operation, «o that they •hall cease to be'for one sex only.

True Charltr.

Every good act Is charity. Glrlng water to the thirsty i* charity. Removing stone* a a I E horting your fellow men to vl--. ..•* deeds Is charity. Smiling In your brother's face t» charity. Putting a wanderer in the right path 1# charity. A man's true wealth is the good he doe* In this world. When he die*, mortal# will a*k what property ha* he left behind him, but angeis will inquire, "What good dwds hast thou •eot before thee!"—Mohamm«L

with especial reference to Massachusetts. they fall with great violence on the Education.—Half a century does not carry us back to the earlier time when girls were only admitted to many public schools during summer, when the boys .were at work out of doors, but It takes ue to a time when high schools for women still met with opposition, and in one case where a sum was left for "the education of youth" it was argued in court that this word did not technically include women, The exjierinient of a girls' high school in Boston was tried and abandoned in 182(5 on the Hin^u'ar ground that too many girls came to it,'and no such school was there re-established until within very recer.t memory. Women as far back as 1811 applied vainl/for admission to our eol-j leges, and no separate college for women was in uxistence. There are now three independent woman's colleges in Massachusetts— WullesJey, Smith and Mount Holyoke—and two co-educational colleges— Boston university and Tufts—while our oldest university, Harvard, includes in its annual catalogue the semidetached institution, liadclllTe college. One never hears today the plcn once so prevalent that women are mentally or physically incapacitated for collegiate education, or«that their parents would IJO unwilling to provide the neccHKury means for their education or to spare them for the necessnry time.

MYSTERY OF THE TIDEa

(fcveer Rea*oa« That Were A«ilgraed For Tb« lr Ebb and Flow.

The tides, those mysterious pulsations of the sea, have been the theme of curious speculation over since man began to ask the reason of what he saw around him. Many sages' and clever brains in the ages of the pafct tried to explain away the periodical ebb and flow of the ocean, and many plausible if erroneous ideas were seized upon and used to solve the problem, and some of the curious notions of these old world philosophers are worthy of interest.

Aristotle, who tried to find a logical reason for everything in natur^ thought that tides were caused by the sun, which moves and whistles the winds about so

Atlantic, the only great ocean known to the Greeks, which thus swells and causes the tide Plato accounted for them as being caused by an animal (living in a cavern, which, by means of a huge orifice, created the ebb and flow. Tlfe ancient Arabs believed' that tides were caused by the moon heating the waters and causing them to swell, while others averred that they were caused by the alternate decomposition ^of the sea by tbe air, and of the air by t^ie eea, thus causing an ebb and flow. A writer as late as the thirteenth century coolly remarks that tides are caused by the efforts of the earth to breathe.

Saintly St. Jerome explained the niys-" tery by means of caves, and Bede stated that the ebb and flow were caused by an enormous serpent, who swallows and vomits tho water. Another old sage thought that they were caused by the melting of the ice at tho poles. In Russia, dwellers by the seashore popularly believe that the tides are governed by the water king's daughter.

The Shetlanders used to believe that periodical tides were caused by a monster living in the sea, or, to quote from an old Shetland worthy, 'a monstrous sea ser pent that took six hours to draw in his breath and about six to let it out again." The Chinese believe that supernatural beings, weird and wonderful, cause the tides, «whilo tho Malays aver that they are caused by the movements of a huge crab. Some of those old thinkers have been very near the solution of tho problem, while some of thoir crude notions are only fantastic.—Scottish Nights,

THE STRAIGHT HAIRED GIRL.

Advice to the Yonnjp Mnn Who la Inclined Toward Matrimony. Some one of tho oracles whose mission is to advise young women how to select a husband, and to warn young men against feminine wiles, has recently set up a new guidepost for masculino wayfarers on the road to matrimony. "Marry a girl with straight hair," say the oracle. "The chances are that he ways aro as straight as hor locks, while tho heart of the curly beaded girl is as full of twists and quirks as her hair."

The theory is expounded at some length. If all men will but be guided by this sibyllino voice, the day of tho straight haired girl is close at hand. She needs compensation. For years she has fought an unequal fight against her sister of the curly looks, and her tomper has been worn threadbare, all on account of her hair. What chance has a straight haired girl on a windy day? Hor hair is straggling in frantlo wisps over hor collar and her oars She looks untidy, disreputablo, and all tho time thu curly haired girl is becoming moro and more bewitching. Her stray looks crisp aad curl and flutter fluilll. round her fao, and she smiles in serene consciousness that tho wind Is quite pow erless against hor. When rainy days oomo, tho straight haired girl sighs dolofullj and looks limp and dejected, in spite of swell clothes Hot days have tho same depressing eL-Ct upon her hair and spirits Sea bathing has no charms for her. Even golf can't bo to her what it Is to the cham pion with curly hair. But, if straight hair Is to bo a certillcato of eligibility for mat rimony, there will bo balm for all thosi wounds.—New York Sun.

SHE SAVED HER COLT.

A PLUCKY MARE'S DEADLY WITH A PANTHER.

In the little Aroostook camp where I worked the winter I was 16 years old there arrived an unnsual kind of visitor. It was nothing lass than a fine colt. The mother of this unlooked for visitor was a bay mare called Vixen. She had fine intelligence and grpat working qualities, but she as bad tempered to all but her master, who thought the world of her. Just now she was in a worse temper than usual, for she thought her foal ought to be in more civilized quarters than those of the camp stables.

The mare and her baby, however, were cared for with a solicitude that should have softened her heart. Ic was spring weather, .worm in the sun at midday, andbesides the roomy corner of the stable which had been fitted up for my lady's accommodation the men had built her a wide pen in the yard, on the south side of the stable wall, where she could sun her offspring at all convenient seasons.

One day, in the early afternoon, when the men had gone far off to their chopping, the cook and I found ourselves alone in camp. Aweek-orso before this I had had the misfortune to sink my ax deep into my left foot. The cut was a bad ono, and since the accident I had not been able to walk a step.

I was sitting on a log where the cook bad placed mu when some slight sound attracted ipy attention. Glancing toward the noise, my eye caught a glimpse of a lank, tawny creature stealthily creeping between the fcr„es on the outer edge of the clearing. His belly dragged the snow, so low did he crouch. Ho had not seen me, and he took the utmost pains to escape observation. He was eying Vixen and her foal over the low fence of their pen and was deciding on the tactics best calculated to give him colt for supper.

Ho crept slowly round the clearing unobserved, as he thought, till ho had the stable between himself and the pen then he left his cover But he had underrated Vixen's keenness. Her eye had been upon him from the first, and tho moment he disappeared from hor view she set up ari excited whinny, which was intended to summon help from the camp. 1/,^:.

Tho cook heard her call. Without waiting for more than a glimpse of the panther the cook started on the run for the chopping where the men were at work. I knew he had gone for his gun, the only one in camp, which Jean Batiste had taken with him after dinner.

Seeing no help come from the camp, Vixen took her colt to the middle of the pen and stood with it right under her nose, while sne kept a oeaseless watch on all sides. The oolt seemed to realize from its mother's alarm that there was danger astir and huddled itself apprehensively together.

Presently round tho corner of the stable crept tho panther, a tawny shadow, .flat on the snow. Tho moment he saw through the openings of the fence that the eye of tho maro was upon him he bounded to the top of tho fonoe and made one bold spring for his prey, but the mare was no less lightning swift than himself. At the first glimpse of him she had whirled so that her heols were toward tho enemy and had waited in a crouching attitude that ono might have taken to indicate the extreme of terror. As tho panther sprang her iron heels mot him with a thud that forced out of him an involuntary snarling gasp, and ho fell against the pen fence. In an instant he flashed over the fence and lay down In the snow to fecovor his breath.

Instead of making another diroofc attack tho, panther noxt rose to the fence, and thenco sprang to tho roof of tho stable, where ho crouched down and snarled fiercely.

Tho colt was still the object of his heart's desire. Tho moment he mounted to tho roof Vixen had withdrawn to the, farther edge of tho pen, and now sho stood hunched together with her head turned backward, so as to let no movement of her foe escapo her eye.

From his superior height tho panther fancied that ho could escape h6r heels and reach tho mare's back. As ho sprang from his vantage ground the impotus of his attack wa3 tremendous and almost irresistible. Vixen almost stood on her head, and her heels met him fair in tho stomuch, so that ho shrieked under tbe blow, but tho moro momentum of his leap overcame the resistance of Vixen's hoofs to tho extent that bo reached her back and bore the bravo ma» to tho ground with his descending forco. Sho nimbly recovered herself, however, and shook him off, and ty this time tho cook camo running toward the pen with his gun cocked, expecting to see the panther at ber throat. But no thero was little fight left In him. He looked very sick as ho tried to crawl out of tho jHsn, and the cook was on tho point of finishing him with a charge of bucbBhot, but Vlxcu Intervened.

Leaving hercolt, sho darted forward and tore his neck fiercely with her powerful tqpth. Tha beast rollo^ over on his back, screaming madly, and as Vixen trampled him down with her frojit hoofs hedoubled1 and sank his claws into her neck and shoulders.

There for a moment he snarled and elawed, while tho bravo mare's neck streamed with blood, and the cook eotight a chance for a shot. But Vixen's plungIngs gave him no opportunity. It was plain to the cook that the mare would kill her adversary in a minute or two more, but bo dreaded lest meanwhile she should be seriously injured.

With some misgiving as to tbe reception he might have from Vixen himself, though be was going to her assistance, be dropped his gun, drew his long knlle and jumped into the poni As an opportunity showed itself be drove the knife with all his force straight through the beast's backbone, dividing tbe spine, and the lank carcass straightened out on the snow.

The brave mare stood over her fallen adversary and whinnied triumphantly, and she made It plain to the cook that she appreciated his assistance. Then tbe oook got water in his dishpan and washed her wounds. Tho dressing of them be left for her niiuter to see to on his return, but ever afterward Vixen was as gentle to the oook aa toward her owner, though with tbe rest of mankind she would have naught to cki —Youth's Companion, v?- nSB0«KIBBI»K Early.

A Scottish parson was attending & funeral in his own churchyard, says a writer In Longman's Magazine. The service over, and dust given to dust, the green sod smoothed down over the narrow bed, the company departed. Bu» a worthy man remained behind end approached the parson wjth a solemn face, a» though for serious talk. "Din ye ken what I aye think at a funeral?" Many serious reflections have come to one there, and the clergyman expected some befitting thought. "No. What is it you always think?"

The answer was, "I aye think I'm desperate gledd it's no me." The incumbent of that parish was mortified.
