Women and Art.


The influence of woman upon art
has always been beneficial. In all the
great epochs Of civilization this has
proved to be the case, and it may be
asserted, without fear of contradiction,
that higher expressions of thought and
intellect have been elected in man
when his helpmate, with her naturally
keener perceptive powers, has inhu-
enced the moral atmosphere by the
desire to preserve the memory of great
facts and noble incidents through the
process Of art representation. In the
present day, in countries like Turkey,
China, and Persia, where women hold
q comparatively degraded position, art
in its highest sense has scarcely any
existence, and, judging from the sur.
prisingly large and ever-increasing
number of women artists in this
country, it would appear as if the fair
sisterhood of America is to pioneer the
way in the present generation for the
spread of an art which is the exponent
of the principles of beauty, and is
Natures great interpreter.

Cured by Laughter.

In a treatise on laughter, Joubert
gives a cur Gus instance. A patient,
being low with fever, and the physi-
clan in attendance at a loss as to how
he should produce reaction, had order
ed dose of rhubarb, but after the
medicine had been prepared, fearing
its facilitating effects, the order was
couEtermanded. Not long after, pet
monkey belonging to the patient, that
had been in the room all the while,
seeing the goblet, slipped silly up and
touched it to his lips. The first taste
was probably novel, and he made a
comical grimace. Another sip, and he
got the sweet of the syrup. Aha. His
vision frightened lie cast glance
around, and then drank it to the
bottom, where he got the full strength
of the rhubarb Mercy. What face
he made. The viSage of the disguised
monkey spoke volumes as he tried to
spit out the horrible taste, but finding
that impossible, he seized the goblet
and hurled it to the floor, smashing it
into hundred pieces. The scene was
50 ludicrous that the sick man burst
into fit of laughter that lasted until
his nurse came in. And when he tried
to tell her he laughed again, until he
sank back exhausted in profuse per
spiration, which lasted until he fell
asleep. When he awoke the fever was
broken and he recovered.

A SCnile Wake.

In 1888 there was a memorable flu.
neral Of woman over a hundred
years old at Los Angeles, Cal. Four
teen old women watched with her
body, which lay stretched on the floor,
in the ancient fashion, with only a
stone beneath the head Tie young
est of these watchers was eighty-fve.
One Of them, Tomasa Camera by name,
was herself over hundred years old.
Tomasa was inhrm of foot, so they
propped her with pillows in a little
cart, and drew her to the house that
she might not miss of the occasion.
All night long, the fourteen sQuatted
or sat on rawhides spread on the floor.
and sang, and prayed, and smoked: as
fine a wake as was ever seen. They
smoked cigarettes, which they rolled
on the spot, out of corn-husks slit fine
for the purpose, there being at that
day in Los Angeles no paper fit for
cigarettes.
Outside this body-guard of aged
women knelt circle of friends and
relatives, also chanting, praying and
smoking In this outer circle, any one

The thinnest veil is a vestment, in
the sense that it moderates the loss of
heat which radiation causes the naked
body to experience. In the same way
a clouded sky protects the earth against
too great cooling in spring nights In
covering ourselves with multiple en-
velopes of which we augment the pro,
tecting thickness according to the rigor
of the seasons, we retard the radiation
from the body by causing it to pass
through series of stages, or by pro-
viding relays. The linen, the ordinary
dress and the cloak constitute for us so
many artificial epidermises. The heat
that leaves the skin goes to warm these
superposed envelopes; it passes
through them the more slowly in pro-
portion as they are poorer conductors;
reaching the surface it escapes, but
without making us feel the chills
which direct contact with the atmos-
phere occasions, for our clothes catch
the cold for us. The hairs and the
feathers of animals perform the same
function as toward their skin, serving
to remove the seat of calorific exchange
away from the body. The protection
we owe to our clothes is made more
effectual by their always being wadded
with stratum eff warm air. Each one
of us thus has his own atmosphere,
which goes with him everywhere, and
is renewed without being cooled. The
animal also finds under its fur an addi-
tional protection in the bed of air that
fills the spaces between the hairs; and
it is on account of the air they inclose
that porous substances, furs and
feathers keep warm.
Experiments to determine the de-
gree of facility with which different
substances used for clothing allow
heat to escape were made by Count
Rumford, Senebler, Boekmann, James
Stark and NJ Coulter. The results
were not in all cases consistent with
each other, but they indicate that the
property is dependent on the texture
of the substance rather than on the
kind of material, or as concerns non.
luminous heat-its color.-POpula1

New Features i'm Weddings.
There are fashions in weddings as in
dress. Some years ago what was sup
posed to be the English style was in
troduced. The popularity of this
style lies in the absence of brides
maids, the presence of a best man, and
the substitution of ushers for grooms-
men. The best man follows the groom
from the vestry and holds the groom's
hat during the ceremony. But after
all, this does not seem to be the
genuine English style. 1t is rather a
sort of compromise, for mild Anglo
maniacs, between the British and
the American method. The true,
through-and-through English style
requires, besides best man and ushers,
that the bride shall walk up the aisle
ungloved, holding family prayer
book.
An innovation in weddings which
has, however, nothing especial to do
with the English or American style,
is to strew the middle aisle of the
church with autumn-leaves. This pic
turesque feature was introduced at a
recent wedding, the rustling leaves
accompanying the soft wedding music
as the bridal party approached the
altar.
But the most startling novelty was
recently tried at a wedding in Sing
Sing. AS rival to the groom's best
man, the bride had "best girl" The
"best girl solves the problem what to
10 with the best man after the cere-
mony, as he has the best girl to escort
down the aisle. For this reason the
new feature may become popular
1t is now not uncommon to have
young girls in Kate Greenway costumes
to attend at the altar during the cere-
mony
