iMdncneSter CouTler.I
A member Of the Society of Friends, living
al Settle, in Craven, had to take a journey to
The borders of Scotland. She left her family,
consisting of q boy and two girls. aged re
spectiyeiy seven, six u four. behind. AT.
ter an absence OF three weeks, and when en-
her bomeward journey. the Quakeress was
seized with illness and died at Cockermouth
The friends at whose house the event o-cur-
red. seeing the hopeless nature OF the attack,
made notes Of every circumstances attend
ing the last hours OF the dying vile and
mother.
One morning, on the nurse at Settle going
into the sleepiug-room of the children, she
found them sitting up in bed in great excite
ment and delight, crying out: Mamma has
been here;' and the little one said: ''She
called: Come Esther" Nothing could
make them doubt the fact. intensely visible
as il had been 10 them. and Ii was carefully
noted dow to entertain the mother on her
speedy expected return home.
The same morning. as she lay dying on
ner bed ut Cockerm0uth, she said:
II should be ready to 90 if / could bat see
my children"
She then closed her eyes, it YVES thought to
reopen them no more; but after ten MINUTES
OF perfect stiffness she looked up brightly
and said:
Il am ready now; 1 have been with my
children" and then at once peacefully passed
away. When the notes taken at the two
places were compared, the day, the hour and
minute were the same.

conferred by marriage. She is not an &c
complisbtd and experienced woman of the
worIc, nor is she a beauty and q belle. Sac
represents a comparatively new type OF
w~omanhood produced by social evolution
the unmarried woman who bv intelligence
ar cultivation holds Der individual place
in the world and who has nothing in CON-
mon with the traditional "old maid" of the
mast, hut 10 whom the loss OF youth has
brought compensations Of the deeper charms
of expression, OF mental cultivation aud in
tcilectual attraction. Now, what will
she Go With her position Will she
give herself into the hands of
fashionable women tn be manipu-
lated SIS they please, and be transformed
into a Door imitation OF the exclusive wo-
man of society or will she hold bravelv her
OWE standards ard set the seal OF official
approval on the higher intellectual life for
won eD? 1t is a question that is interesting
as a typical ore of society. and on its fulfill
ment will depend the estimation IN which
Miss Cleveland will bs held IN social history.
To be al elegant and fashionable woman of
the woIld-even to be that exclusively, If
ore is born and bred to it-msy be ali very
well, ss all genuine and unaffected attitudes
have q certain value Of their Owl; but a
cheap imitation of fashionable elegance is,
of ali things, the most to be deprecated.
Miss Cleveland has been a woman identified
with intellectual life. A prominent New
York journal has Just recalled an address
given by her before the alumnae of Elmira
College on "Altwithic Faith" and the wri-
ter says:
OF all the addresses given during the quar-
Ter Of q century of the college By many of
our men, such as Professor Epson, DR.. Wal
cot Calkins. DR.. Lyman Abbott, aud the
editor of the Evangelist, this was pronounced
second to rome Of them, and for practical
adaptation to the young ladies' the
best. She illustrated her subject BIZ
Chadiia, the wife Of Mohammsd, who b.
lieved in him when all men despised him,
and whose faith in him made him what hs
became. Every ore must have his Chadiis.
There is need of faith in God, faith in self.
and faith in humanity. She would be hope
fol and not p~essimistic.
Since that time she has given frequent lec-
lures at the college, which have been very
popular with the young ladies. Her name
is found in the last catalogue IL the faculty
IS lecturer on medieval history. The coun-
intelligent and public spirited a woman in
the White House.
Miss Cleveland has an admirable opportu.
nifty for holding herself true to those higher
standards OF life which, while they inclHde
all the aesthetic effects of fashionable ele-
gance, all the constant social interchange
that is inevitable in Washington society, and
yet rot limited to the mere current coin of
cards and calls and compliments, but hold
within themselves some OF the permanent,
as well as the transient interests of life. The
country will watch to see what Washington
society will do with Miss Cleveland and what
Miss Cleveland will do with Washington So
ciety.

Tufted woods. serges, canvas cloths and

wool stufs used for spring dresses. The

are called Astrekhan canvas because of their
resemblance to that fur. The canvas cloths
have sometimes square meshes precisely like
the canvss used for embroidery, aud are
called eiamine, while others are merely
sheer, like scrim, or like batiste. There are
silk, wool and linen canvas cloths, and all
these are made in q single color for the whole

wonen's Wages.
Productive industry is now organized on
the assumption that women's work is to re-
ceive less compensation than mems"
This is one Of the reasons given for the
low wages OF women in the Manual of Politi-
cal Economy used in the Indianapolis High
School. The author goes on to say: IF the
rule is a false one, it can not be suddenly
changed without ~deranging tbs entire sys-
tenn of production aud exchange"
Imagine the use OF similar language in
reference to the wages of a large or an inau-
entail body of voters in the Ststel During

Why should the exclusion OF woman from

her in the struggle for existence? When her
necessary expenses are as great as those of

same duties2
When IN certain fields of labor the woman

instance her wages approximate the stand

The answer suggests itself. When compet-
