4 lady nonsr HEponrru.

In the reporters stand, says New
York letter, | saw for the first Time a
woman reporting horse race, and was
Interested in reading next day what she
put To paper. 1t was ::ood work, and
suggested anew how much women are
now doing that only short time ago
was done by men alone. This young
woman had an article of five columns
length in conspicuous New Yori, paper
with reference to the horses that ran in
The Suburban ard the Jockeys that rode
them. The same newspaper devoted
nearly half its space that day to special
articles written by women. When a
woman has the gift Of writing combined
with the gift of newspaper sense, and by
THAT mean the Judgment that tells her
wha! 10 write and what 10 omit, she is
quite us valuable to the big newspaper rs
the man, for she brings TO the newspaper
Il freshness Of observation and IN origin
aiity that are refreshing She can oh
tain certain line of information, too,
TINT Inan secures with great difficulty.
All of the big newspapers now employ
women, because their work is Of real
value. -DctroH free Press.

a Sun Dial Fnlmcd In ElnMnrs.

Probably nowhere in New England, and
probably nowhere in the United States,
ire there more wonderful orl designs
glan on the grounds ri the State l.unntic
Hospital, in Danvcrs, Mass The llalnn
lorist and landscape gardener, Etloro
Jassnari, has completed his designs for
the season, and shows over one hundred
different beds, of which three large ones
attract great attention.
The main one is about seventy feet i'm
circumference nj the base, and the fo,n,
jation is II huge mound, eight feet high.
In each side is II groito, with back and
sides of masonry. From the top OF each
grotto II stream Of water is f0rciby driven
md distributed in II trickling flow TO "a
pool beneath, from which another foun,
lain sends tiny stream into the air. In
each intcrslice, also, ARE numerous plants
--lobclia, century plnnt, palm, nircm,
scrgia, gcrani.m, vincn, ivy and many
,thcr suitable varieties. On the front is
cnlcndar, The year hcmmcd in by "A
scroll, and the day of week ant: month
N AN oval frame. The top of the mound
IS Hat, and on il rests II great vase, made
wholly Of plants The vase is five and
onehalf feet high and six and onc-half
icct in diameter and contains about three
carloads of loan. The vase is filled Will,
choice tall plants, so thnt'the whole mar
vclous design has quite an altitude.
''Sols Clock" are the words on another
design ut one corner Of the principal
driveway. A pole of growing hoilsclcck,
placed ut the proper angie and toward tho
north star, casts Il shadow on Roman
numerals of st. Helena set in horseshoe
Of althcrnanthcra, the center of which il

Another design is in the shane of a
mound, surmomtcd by handsomely
'orncd turrct of houscleck, supporting u
neat weather vanc In the bed beneath
ire letters of growing plants which mark
Inc points of the compass. On the front
.he weather predictions are given daily.
The word "weathcr" is permanent, and
over it is placed each morning the word
fair" cloudy or "rainy," according
20 the forecast in the morning papers, the
boxes containing the words being porta-
ole, us are those used in arranging tho
calendar on tine main design In this
bed the moons phases nrc also given. A,
rue-colored niNon OF proper shape reposes

Fifth avenue, writes II New York cores
pondcnt To the Chicago Ntyrh, when Il
somewhat unusual company of people en-
tered the almost deserted room and ar
ranged themselves about II table which
had been specially SIT for them There
were eight men and one young woman in
the group. recognized the occasion rs
wedding breakfast of persons that were
scarcely of the fashionable sort. The
girl was pretty enough, but she was
quite awkward, while the men hardly
knew what 10 do with their hands, and
their conversation did not scintillatc, us
it were, with wit or rcpartcc The re-
past was ncrvously gone through, two
bottles OF clnrct and two OF champagne
being disposed Of. When the waiter
brought i'll the coffee he was accompanied
by an assistant who bore on II tray before
him what appeared To bc bird pie, tho
crust brown and tempting, and the silver
plate on which ii rested garnishcd about
with green. When this was placed he
fore the bride she looked ut her husband
in surprise, but apparently did not dare
suggest that this was Il rather substantial
'''''' w. '''hSN VIZ ~ 0N'li ~ lltt llnltltllN.
All the faces of the men were twitching
with excitement, with the exception of
the husbands, which expressed blank
nnmzcmcnt nj what seemed serious
breach of correct form. Tic waiter
handed II knife and fork To the bride.
"Will madam cut the pie jus! hcrc?"
he asked, indicating the outer rim OF the
top crust.
The bride took the knife trcmblinyly
in her hand, and, with the aid of tho
waiter, succeeded in lifting the entire top
crust away from the lower part of the pie
Then she gave little cry of nstonish-
mcnt, for II white dove lifted mp It's head
from the interior Of the pie and coocd.
Around the doves neck was II very beau
tiful little diamond bracelet II was II
Siit from the men who were present.
The episode was certainly not cons;s-
tent with the customs of good soricty,
bu, il was so Thoroughly enjoyed, and
brought that little awkward party 80
cloSc together, thul il appeared quite
proper and was undoubtedly very pretty.
The coffee was drank nmid the best OF
good fellowship, and everything went rs
merry as the rrovcrbial marriage bell -
all because of II white doves coo.

Mrs. LUCI HAIES

Here was woman who filled the
highest possible sphere known to
her sex. Educated, cultured and
refined, she was inoffensively ag-
gressive in the agitation of the
moral reformation Of mankind. If
her possibilities were great, is it not
fair to assume that she had much to
do with creating them? It is fair
to assume that the splendid successes
Of her noble husband in war and in
peace were, in no small degree, the
results Of Mrs. Hayes's assistance.
Throughout the country are men
and women, who, having known this
grand impersonation of womanhood,
are mourning her death, Fifty
eight when she died, it seslned a
pity that her life could not have
been protracted for forty years. It
is not unreasonable to assume that
the time would have been occupied
in making mankind better.
