NOTES ON WOMEN.

Mrs. EVANS, who won a seat in
Parliament for Southampton for her
husband and the Liberals. is an Ameri-
can woman.
BARONESS GRIPENBURG is a member
of the school board of Helsingfors. I'm
married women and widows have had
the municipal suffrage in Finland since
1879.
The Story OF an African Farm" is
regarded as one of the most powerful
novels issued for long time. 1t is the
more remarkable as being the first word
of its author. Miss Olive Schreiner.
An interesting figsre in the American
colony of London is Mrs. Ernestine L.
Rose. She was one of the first Ameri-
can women to publicly voice the cause
of woman's rights. She lived many
years in New York. and as early as
1886 addressed the State Legislature IN
person on women's acknowledgment.
Mrs. OrrENDORFER, whose husband
edits the great German paper of New
York. the Stats Zeitmng. is described
as a woman of remarkable business
ability. Many persons believe that tho
building up Of the paper was chiefly
due to her. She was the widow of the
founder OF the paper. Ar. Uhl, when

UNDERWEAR for Summer.

Ribbed under-vests of silk. the wool
or Swiss thread are the favorite gar
ments for summer use, as they are Of
the lightest possible weight, and fit the
figure IS if moulded upon it. Flesh
tints, pink and ecru are most liked. but
fancy-colored vests are also worn.
Those worn with evening full-dress
toiletes are Vshaped in the neck in
front and back. and are finished with
lace edges, through which ribbon
drawing-string is passed.; white, cream
and gold are the choice colo:s in silk
vests. The lisle-thread vests are in
expensive, and are preferred in pure
white; these are either high or low in
the neck, with merely well-wOven
armhole instead of sleeves. GauZe
merino vests that are half wool and
half cotton are as fine as a web or as
lace, and are nearly fitted to the figure
in jersey shapes. with only selvage
for sleeves: these are worn by delicate
women who must have a modicum OF
wool even for midsummer garments.
Fish-net vests of rough. coarse meshes
are called sanitary vests. as their rough
surface promotes circulation. The
union or combination garments, with
vest and drawers in one piece, are
made up in silk and in merinO: those
of silk are low in the neck, with short
sleeves, and are preferred in fesh-pink
shades; they are also made in very
elastic ribbed silk; with either high or
low neck and short or long sleeves.
Ladies' riding vests or spencers are an
extra waist to wear over the cOrsets
inside the habit bodice; they are of
ribbed rilk or of merino, with high
neck. and either short or long sleeves.

The Bread Winner.

1t is conceded that man is the ''bread
winner" but how often do We see him
delegating his duties to his already
Overburdened wife, and spending all of
his time in the saloon. But a woman
must not be allowed to vote against the
institution that is taking the bread from
her children's mouths, and robbing her
of all she holds most dear. Can a
woman pay enough attention to polit-
zeal matters to inform herself sufficient
ly to cast an intelligent ballot without
neglecting her home?" 1t seems the
bread winners can and Go take time to
read the papers to inform themselves.
and We are informed ''that woman is
weaker physically if not mentally, than
man." Now should she put in more
hours of drudgery than her stronger
husband? If weaker physically she
needs rest, and if mentally she should
study to be a fitting mate for her more
intelligent lord. 1t is ridiculous to as
sert that our American wives and
mothers have not as much intelligence
as many of our foreign born brothers
who are landing on our shores, many
of them unable to read. Yet they take
out naturalization papers, march up to
the polls and vote-just as somebody
else tells them to. Also the colored
man. who is obliged to make his mark
for his signature, marches boldly up
and casts his ballot; but the women of
our beloved country haven: intelli-
gence enough to vote. although hun
dreds and thousands of them are occu-
plying high positions in our schools and
colleges.
Girls, take the advice of friend and
prepare yourselves for that duty in life
for which by nature you are best adapt
ed. whether it be brain work or to labor
with your hands. Do your duty faith
fully. and learn to be self-supporting,
and if the bread winner" comes along
who is worthy of you it is well, but
marry no man for home Western

DIET FOR STUDENTS.

Beef, Mutton and Eggs Said to BE BETTER
Than the Lighter Foods.
What shall student eat? No cues
especially food appropriate for those
living sedentary lives. BY following
the preceding law and giving the body
a chance to digest its pabulum and
properly assimilate it, the problem
largely solves itself. The student can
eat and digest a very general and gen.
erOus variety of foods. A poor digest
err will soon find he can eat nothing
without suffering. Dyspepsia is not
the result OF rich food. but of Undi-
gested food. Give your stomach the
best material and time to work it up
and you will have no trouble. Greasy
foods are no worse than thin soups and
dietetic tastes. The only rule for diet
is to partake of concentrated food. and
such an amount of it as you propose
to take time to digest. Beef. mutton
and eggs are better than lighter foods.
The digestive organs do not need to be
relieved of work, but accustomed to
work, and given time to work. A
stomach fed on fancy nothings loses its
power as surely as an arm that never
performs any work. Still worse is the
use of drugs to help the stomach to un-
load. Healthy exercise is pleasant ex-
ercise. in the case of the stomach as
otherwise. / believe there is by nc
means so large difference in the di-
gestive power of different individuals;
the difference is more largely in habits
of digestion. Fretting, or anger, or
hurry will upset the strongest stomach.
Good nature, play, cheerfulness will
give tone to the weakest. Still there
are some things that the stomach
ought never to be expected to do. 1t
can not saw wood nor crack walnuts,
nor can it enjoy digesting pie-crust and
suet buildings. 1t can be done. but not
enjoyably. The cart driver. however.
will be more likely to beat his horse.
and the drunkard to seek the saloon.
In the case Of the student. time enough
can not be afforded the stomach for
such gymnastic feats. II we can
achieve the task, our children may fail
to do SO. The fathers ate sour grapes.
and nObody's teeth were set on edge
until their boys were sent to college.
Miracles OF digestion should be left to
those to whom books only suggest

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Some of the Leading Types in Skirts, Sasl,
Costumes and Gowns.
At this moment there are two lead
ing types of dress skirt; the one rather
plain on the front and sides, with
most of the fulness massed cOmpactly
at the back. The other model shows
q plain underskirt. with very long
drapery arranged in classic grace. and
in manner impossible to describe.
These totally different fashions are
equally popular and depend entirely
on the figure of the wearer, the ma
terial employed and the style desired.
The same may be said of the different
models in bOdices; they are selected
with regard to the figure-the sharply
pointed cOrsage for women at all in
clining towards stOutness and the
draped and plated bodice for the
slender. Women blessed with forms
representing the happy medium have
a wide choice in an innumerable
variety of fancy styles that are both
stylish and charming. In full dress.
however, the Louis XIV. bodice, with
a half-lOw waistcOat of real lace or
pearl-dotted tulle, is a leading IA

The ''sash costume is style quite

slight figure is charming. The dress
itself is of some gossamer material, q
primrose crepe, for instance, or lace
material striped with mOire. On this

carries verdure with it. by the growth
of thought and character of those
around him. Il do not think he went
anywhere" continued DR.. Holmea,
without carrying that kind of personal
influence which good and wise man
always produces" There is food for
consideration in these wOrds-there Is
a depth of truth that invites study and
invites application to our own lives.
The potency OF personal influence Is
greater than we dream. And we can no
more escape exercising it than we can
escape from our shadow. For good or
for i'll its work is wrought. Is there
not in this truth, then, an answer sug-
gested as to what shall be done with
knowledge acquiredl If it never find
expression in special achievement-and
that is a matter determined by temper
ament and circumstance-it may find
expression in character. The woman
who acquires knowledge and from that
its finer inforescence, culture; who
lives the daily life that is noble, gem
erous, and which has that only safe
guard of elevated living. the quality
of spirituality, of personal holiness;
the woman who is this, is a living
influence of good. If the young wO-
men graduates achieve greatness of
character with their learning. then. in
deed. do they use it wisely. "Be gift
and benediction." says Emerson.
Learn the sweetness of helping others;
the beauty of all generous. high and
gracious living; the largeness Of SYM
pathy, the claim Of devotion to noble
ideals. And remembering all this we
find its complete significance in the
words concerning that one Perfect life
that ''came not to be ministered unto
but to minister" All, if one could but
realize in her daily life such an ideal as

The garden Of her soul still keepeth she

So that no influence Of earth can stir
