IN MALE ATTIRE.
Famous Women Who Have Dotted Petit
coats and COrsets.

Famous Women Who Have Dotted Petit
coats and COrsets.
The subject of women donning male
attire in order to follow their lovers in
cognito to wars or other dangers has
been favorite one with the poets from
the early ballad singers to Mrs. Brown
ing, in the ''Romaunt of the Page" and
the Swedish Tegner, and his beautiful
story of ''Axel." But in modern times
women have less romantic reasons for
the change of costume. Like George
Sand they may do it in a spirit of ad-
venture; like Rosa Bonheur and our
own DR.. Mary Walker, because they find
it more comfortable, or like the hun
dreds of cases which are constantly be-
ing noted by the newspapers, because
they find that an apparent change of
sex enables them to make better liv-
ing. Rosa Bonheur wears trousers when
at work, but resumes her female at
tire in the evening. She not only
wears trousers, but full male
outfit, including the French laborer's
blue smock and cap, when she goes to
fairs to make studies for her cattle or
wanders about the field unaccompanied.
The garb relieves her of the trouble of
bundling up skirts when she carries
painting implements, aud also conceals
her sex from the rough men whom she
is liable to meet. Louisa Lawton, the
sculptress, also finds it convenient to
wear trousers and coat when at work.
Sarah Bernhardt, in her studio, as
sumes black velvet suit of clothes, in
which she is conscious that she looks
very charming. Nine. Dieulafoy, the
French explorer and scientists, who has
done so much to increase our knowledge
of Persian archaeology, also looks much
more coquettish and winsome in the
costume she adopted while journeying
in strange lands than in the skirts
which she wears in Paris. Indeed, even
in Paris, her only return to feminine
costume is in the substitution of skirts
for trousers. The coat and vest, the
shirt, collars and cuffs are retained

DIMINUTIvE PLANTS.
a Flower That Is One Twenty-Eifth G
an Inch in Dfameter

A Flower That Is One Twenty-Fifth of
an Inch in Diameter.
The smallest Towering plant in exist
ence is wolft1a microscopic, a native of
India. 1t belongs to the natural order
lemnacee, or the duckweed family. 1t
is almost microscopic in size, destitute
of proper stem, leaves and roots, but
having these organs merged in one,
forming frond. This is, however, a
prolongation of the lower surface into
a kind of rhizoid, the purpose of which
seems to be to enable the plant to float
upright in the water. The fronds null
tiply asexually by sending out other
fronds from a basilar slit or cavity, and
with such rapidity does this take place
that few days often suffices to produce
from few individuals enough of sim
liar kind to cover many square feet, or
even rods, of pond surface with
hundreds of millions of these tiny
but perfect little organisms, dozens
of which could cling to the point
of common needle. Although re-
markable for their minuteness, which
is almost beyond the human conception
as applied to flowers and other grow
ing plants, and, simple as they are in
their structure, they produce tiny
flowers as perfect in every part as the
monster five-foot lily mentioned in
"Notes for the Curious" two or three
weeks ago. Each plant produces two
flowers, each of which is very simple,
one consisting of a single stamen and
the other of a single pastil, both of
which burst through the upper surface
of the frond.
Although wolffia is native of India,
there are two species of the genus found
growing wild in the Eastern United
States. One of them, wolffia Column
biana, is about the one-twenty-fifth of
an inch in diameter, and the other,
wolffia Braziliensis, somewhat smaller
in size. Both these American species
have been found near Philadelphia, and
in the swamps of the Potomac below

THE WOMANLY GIRL.
Why She Enjoys the Genuine Respect of
Every Body.

Why She Enjoys the Genuine Respect of
Every Body.
In the hurry and artificial life of this
nineteenth century there is vet cause
for hope in the genuine reep"ct shown
even by Doors to the womanly girl.
Whatever stands in the way OF girl at
tanning to the highest goal, that of
Christian worlanhood, becomes in COM
parison as mere chaff The girl who
gives up her love of home and sneers at
the cares of house in order to pursue
what she deems higher education"
has sold her birthright for a mess of
pottage. She has measured her acquire
ments by the wavering values of this
world. Only when woman = gentle
and wise enough to attain I'll in
tellectual powers, and use til :. not as
coarse women do, for their own aggran-
dizement, but as a means to minister
help and hope to others, has she learned
the use of her power. Intellectual
training is like physical training
means by which woman may
receive more power for her
work, in her home or in any field out
side to which she is called; it is no
more. Without it she may be a weak
hand where she might have been
strong one, just as a woman who is Grip
pied is unable to accomplish as much
good as one who is robust and strong.
Yet the woman who devotes herself to
intellectual pursuits merely for her own
glory is not less silly or cumbersome to
the earth than she who devotes her en-
tire time to personal adornment from
motives of vanity. Both fail to attain
even the admiration of the world. The
woman who has attained to intellectual
heights and has not been gentle and
wise enough to use the tongues of
learning to speak word in season to
him who is a-weary'-her mission has
passed her by. She has lost the sweet
est pleasure of true woman, that of
ministering to and helping those who
else were helpless and hopeless. In
stead of living in the broad sunshine of
Christian life she is imprisoned in the
narrow cell of her own selfishness.-N.

An Argument for BacheIOrhoOd Which
Took the Capital Prize.
A German paper some time ago in
vited all masculine readers over forty
who had remained single to make pub
lie statement of their reasons for not
entering into the matrimonial alliance.
The best and wittiest piece was to re-
ceive prize of twenty marks. The
jury appointed to decide upon the merits
of the statements consisted of three
persons-a young girl, young married
lady and a mother-in-law. In response
to this invitation LAT answers were re-
ceived at the Office of the paper. After
long discussion and deliberation the
jury awarded the prize to the author of
the following declaration:
From my earliest youth was hot
tempered and vain, and never was sat-
isfied with the good things which en-
joyed, but always wished and strived
for better things; therefore was guild =
ed by the words of the Holy Gospel,
which say that he does we'll who gets a
wife unto him, but that he who does not
do so acts still better. AS an idealist l
could be perfectly sure that the poets
words in reference to two hearts that
beat as one would never be justified in
matrimony. AS realist could under
stand that marriage was lottery, and
that, in view of the small chances for
success, it was not worth while to take
any risks. AS an egotist can say: 4

AT HEART.

Where shall we roam, when ways are sere,
and gray
The sky looks down, and sounds Of revel are
As breezy means upon a lonely moor;
When musics harmonies bring tears, and all
The faces of our friends grow cold with life
That, like ghost, appears and vanishes?
Space holds no spot so gentle and so bright
That there we lose the chillness OF the mock
That we shall never know our origin,
Nor whittier bound, nor grander lore than
yet
Heroes OF intellect have fought to win,
By inches measuring the universe.
No region seen nor answer heard can bring
Peace and brave pride; but in the soul and
heart
Are powers for miracle and healing Joy,
Are telescopes more subtle than for stars,
Are answers without words to all our love,
Though not sign for blasphemy or fears.
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, in Harper's
Monthly.
