BY The FIRE.

She sat and unused by the drift-wood fire,
As the leaping flames flashed higher and
higher;
And the phantoms of youth, as fair and
bright,
Grew for her gaze in the rudy light;
The blossoms she gathered in hfe's young
days,
Wreathed and waved in the Pickering blaze;
And she laughed through a sunny mist Of
tears.
That rose at the dream of her April years;
And ever and aye the sudden rain 5
FLASHED on the glittering window-pane.
Sobered and saddened the pictures that
showed
As the drift-wood logs to a red core glowed:
And the fancied figures of older time
Passed with the steadied step of their prime,
The daisies and snow-drops bloomed and died,
Red roses and lilies stood side by side.
While richer and fuller, and deeper grew
Tho lines of the pictures August drew:
And ever and ay the falling rain
Streamed thick and fast on the window-pan
The drift-wood died down into feathery ash,
Where family and fitfully shone the flash;
Slowly and sadly her pulses beat,
And soft was the fall, as of vanished feet,
And lush and green as from guarded grave,
She saw the grass of the valley wave,
And like echoes in ruins seemed to sigh,
The "wet west wind" that went wandering by;
And caught the sweep of the sullen rain,
And dashed it against the window pane
All the Year Round.

Account Keeping : Daily Duty.

Just little parting advice 10 all who may
be about TO commence account-Eeeping. Be
oonest with your accounts: put down every
thing you spend. If you find you are spend
ing more than you can afford, face the thing
boldly, and at once try to discover where the
fault is. Do not trust 10 next week or next
month: begin Immediately to retrench. In
this, as in most other work, it is towards the
middle one begins to get weary and dis
heartened. Accounts for the first month or
two of the year are sure TO be well kept, and
so very probably win be the last three. See
that the middle months are treated in the
same way, and that your account book for
that period does not present painfully new
appearance, with only solitary entrance here
and there Neglected accounts lose at once
their interest and their value Make account
keeping daily duty, honestly performed. it
it will soon turn into pleasure. Cor. Minno-

HAVE A HOME.

Friend, have home somewhere.
Buy tract Of land and own it. Buy
it with a full determination of keep
ing it, and surrounding yourself with
those beauties found only upon the
farm. To be the owner of nice
little home, is one of the greatest
earthly blessings man can enjoy.
He gathers about this little spot his
cows, horses. pigs and chickens, and
by honest labor and toll, what was
once wild tract of land has become
lovely spot where men are wont
to go.
After you have spent your life on
this little farm, and your spirit is
called to its eternal home, you have
left the widow and little orphans a
little place on earth called home.
Gentle reader, 'there is no place
like home, and you should think of
this and neglect the matter no
longer.

industrial Victories Won by women.


Forty years ago there was one woman in
the United States who was a merchant. She
was pointed out as a great example. There
was also one woman preacher, and one woman
physician, who had been instructed privately
and who for years practiced without di-
ploma There are now nearly or quite 5000
women physicians in this country. They
muster more strongly in this than in either of
the other learned professions. About 200
have climbed into the pulpit, and about half
as many are supposed to be versed in the in
tricacies of the law.
The figures the last census show very
clearly the industrial victories that have been
won By women. There are are now but few
callings in which they are not represented.
Nearly one-third Of all the artists in the
United States are women. This is a field
into which they have pressed only in mod
ern times. There are not many fe-
male names to keep company with
those of the old masters. The restricted
education Of women in the middle ages UNI
fitted them for entrance upon the domain of
art But with the increased facilities for
training in that line there are undoubtedly
great triumphs in store for them there.
Women always did more or less literary
work, but comparatively few of them have
invaded the ranks of journalism. OF the
II, 800 journalists in this country only the odd
hundreds are women, and these have mostly
made special departments for themselves. As
correspondents and reporters in certain lines
they have fairly and honorably earned their
straps.
A Boston paper not long ago published
some statements relating to the employment
of women in Massachusetts, which are inter
esting if true One of these is that there are
no less than 2s4 branches of industry in
which women gain a livelihood in that state.
In these various pursuits 250,000 women make
their own Philadelphia Record.

Baltimore Herald.
The population Of London is shell
tered by $4,000 dwelling houses,
and the area Of streets and squares
embraces 1872 square miles. Every
day sees an average Of 10000 stran-
gers enter the city, and 1913 persons
added to the population; while each
year 28 miles of new streets are laid
out, and 5000 new houses erected.
There are 10000 paupers, upon
whom l0,700 police keep close eye
The population includes 10000 for
eigners, more Roman Catholics than
there are in Rome, and more Jews
than there are in Palestine. Two

wife of a Colored Congressman.

Congressman O'Hara, Of North Carolina,
is a member of the coterie [of educated
colored men in Washington, but singularly
enough he and his wife are Catholics and
attend st. Augustine's church. Mrs. O'Hara
is one of the loveliest ladies in Washington,
and were it not for the slightest trace of
negro blood In her veins she would be a
leader in white society. Like Mrs. Bruce,
who is also beautiful, she is highly educated
md accomplished woman, speaks French,
plays Beethoven, paints plaques, and is up in
art and literature to degree that would
make some OF her white sisters blush for
envy Both Mrs. Bruce and Mrs O'Hara are
very nearly white, and it would be difficult
for a stranger to detect their relation to the
African race. Mrs. O'Hara has white
governess for her children and intends that
they shall pe as accomplished as herself
These people have their own society, give
balls, dinner parties, receptions and other

scientists of the Gentler Sex.

The recent appointment of lady, Dr.
Sophie Kowalewski, to a mathematical chair
in the university of Stockholm has provoked
no little comment in foreign literary and
scientific circles and certain German savants
who regard the innovation with disfavor
have been discussing, in the true Teutonic
profundity, the capacity of the feminine mind
to master SO abstract and logical branch of
knowledge as the science of numbers in its
higher developments and application. A
Swedish journal, when announcing the APP
pontment, stated that Mime. Kowalewsli
was the first lady that ever attained a recog-
nized academic position as professor OF
mathematics. But interesting as the circum-
stance to which it calls attention undoubtedly
is, this is far from being the case. For
although fashions rather than fuxions are
popularity held to be the peculiar province of
the fairer half of humanity, and phrenologists
have pronounced the special organs of num-
Der and dimensions to be deficient in the
female brain, yet the gentler sex have man
aged to produce, even in the last century or
SO. a very respectable list of mathematical
celebrities.
1t is hardly necessary to recall to memory
the names of Frau Rumcker, of Hamburg,
and of Miss Maria Mitchell, professor of
Vassar college--two ladies who, Independently
and almost at the same moment, discovered
the comet designed "Olber's" But it is hardly
SO generally known that in our own days the
director of one of the greatest and most i'm
portant astronomical observatories in the
world that of Rome, always famous for the
brilliancy of its staff, was a lady, Signora
Katherine Scarpellini She was one of the
ablest mathematicians of the century, and
member of nearly every European learned
society, yet SO modest, 80 unobtrusive and
with so little of the shrieking ssterhood about
her, that only an insignificant few OF her own
countrymen knew that the work of the great
observatory of the capital was conducted I'M

delicate ears, their threats, and the bases OF
what should be their brains.

Eating Ants Instead of Pickles.

It is curious what an appetite for something
sour men have who eat great deal of fat
food Generally in the numbering region a
large quantity of raspberries or blueberries
are picked and put down in tubs to sour for
winter use. But that year had been poor
berry year-scarcely any had been gathered.
"Picklesl piclxles?' was the cry, morning,
noon, and night There were twenty-six
choppers of the camp, all calling for pickles
"An' eff yer can't git us roz-briz git antsi" So
the cook sent Al Churchill and 1.-THE two
Youngest members in the camp-oH into the
woods after great ants-for pickles.
1t may seem rather odd, to say the least
that anybody could have the stomach to
eat so ugly an insect as a big black
ant. But it is not infrequently done in the
numbering camps of northern Maine and
Canada. did muster courage to chew one
up once. 1t had fine, acid flavor, by ne
means unpleasant if one could keep his eyes
shut Rough fellows, like the lumber
men. are not very fastidious. TIL
cook gave us a six-quart tin pail and cover
get the ants in. Al took an old gun whic
was kept at the camp to shoot partridges and
other game and l took an ak to cut open the
old logs and stumps with. We set off for a
tract where fire had run years before, and
where old pine trunks lay scattered in decay
ON the ground as they fell Many of these
had colonies of large ants living in tunnels
and galleries which they had cut inside.
In September it easy to find out which
stumps or logs have the nests of ants, for by
rapping sanartly on the side an army Of black
fellows win pour out of their holes: and if
you present your hand they will attack it with
remarkable fierceness But SO late as Decem-
Der the ants are too torpid from the cold to
sally forth. But we are guided by the holes
which they have cut for gates, and the heaps
of fresh chips, like sawdust, which they have
thrown out. A few strokes of the ak sufficed
to split or knock to pieces the old stumps, and
expose the long tunnels and network of cross
passages inside Many of these we found
packed with dormant ants, and had only to
scoop them into our pail. In one log l re-
member that we scraped out not less than q
quart, and a quart Of ants must contain at
least 10000, even Of these large ones.-Amer-

as follows at a recent Sorosis banquet in New
York:

ton to us Their winning ways conquer us

play of thei- lighter wit soothes and rests us
after our graver, heavier deliberations. For
one smile from their rosy lips, we would do
all things and dare all things. [Laughter.1

which is their highest charm.

that sphere for which nature has designed
YOU. Don't lose your softness. Bless you
The Buddhis5 teaches that the object of life
is development Therefore the same soul
must be born over and over again, sometimes
as man, sometimes as woman, till it gains all
human experience. That is to say, if men
have wronged women and deprived them OF
their rights, in the next incarnation these
men will have to be women, so as to find
out how it is themselves. It's a lovely ar
rangement. [Renewed laughing.l
