New Wine in Old Bottles.

Rev. DIR. Thwing said in his recem
baccalaureate sermon to the girls of tho
Women's College of the Western Re-
serve university; THE strength of a
thing lies not only in the strength of
the separate parts but also in the fit
ness of these parts to each other. The
old wine or the new may be good; the
new bottle or the old may be good; but
wine and bottle must be fitted each to
the other. New to new and old to old.
The new wine of the higher education
of women, thrust into the old and stiff
bottles of feminine limitations, is sure
to burst these vessels. The new wine
of the higher education of women, put
into the new and large bottles of free
dom and ability, is to give yet further
enlargement to freedom, and purer
richness and richer purity to educa'
tion -

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
What the Enterprising Women of sum

What the Enterprising Women of sum-
init, n. j., Have Accomplished.
A little more than eight years ago the
women of Summit, N. j., formed a
village improvement society. Begin
nirg their work at the railway station
they graded the grounds, laid walks,
made gutter sowed the grass seed
and arranged the flower beds. They
next turned their attention to shade
trees, for up to that time the streets
were almost entirely shadeless. The
trees were set out and looked after, and
then the sidewalks were taken in hand.
The society bought two sprinlSling carts
and the service of them is paid by tax
on those having the benefit of them.
Realizing the importance of keeping
tidy after once putting things in order
the society hires man whose duty it is
to walk daily through the streets-pick-
ing up litter scattered about by careless
persons A piece of work done by these
women that deserves special mention
was the eradication of the elm-tree bug
from the trees. For four seasons the
women treated nearly a thousand trees,
under directions from the agricultural
department at Washington During the
eight years the society has paid out an
average of about 81, per year. Its
dues are 81 year, or S25 for a life mem
bership. Extra money is raised by sub
scription and entertainments Spring

Business Woman of Ability.

Woman in a business capacity is GER
tainly found in one of Grafton's resi-
dents. The proprietor of the Warren
estate has several tenements and shops
She is at present in charge of her farm,
has two cottages of summer boarders,
and in direct connection is livery
stable, all in good order. Recently she
has fitted and rented bakery, which
brings two families into town, and a
Chinese laundry, which it is expected
will meet the demands of the public,
saving the trouble of sending such work
by express eight miles. Unlike some
of the hard-working men with a multi
plicity of cares, she finds time to attend
divine worship. Her pew at the West

upright and courteous in her manner,
thoroughly believes in the prosperity OF
her native town, and merits success

Mrs. Elizabeth Lofgren is famous
abroad as the first organizer OF womens

least in Europe, for the sake OF the re-
strictions put upon it by the Russian
government Mrs. Lofgrens carly Ia
bors to improve her sex were beset
with great difficulties, but by and by
she began to gather some other women
around her and in 1883 she started ''The
Finnish Women's union.' In Finland
every association of any Importance
must have its constitution confirmed by
the imperial senate, but it often hap
pens that the senate refuses to confirm
it, and then. the association has not the
right to exist publicly. This evil fate
did not, however, meet the Finnish
Women's union. thanks to the wise pre-
caution of its first president Mrs Lof-
gren, The union got its constitution
confirmed and began Immediately its
work. Aside from this Mrs. Lofgren
has done and is continually doing good
work for the advancement and devel'
opment of her sisters. Through her
influence the first women printers were
employed il her husbands large print

are women in almost all printing houses

founders of the first Finnish high
schools with co-education leading to
the university. She is good scholar
in the Finnish language and has trans
lated good deal from the French,
English and Norwegian literature into
Finnish. Mrs Lofgren's disposition of
mind is deep and somewhat reserved.
She is a woman of rich experience, in
ward and outward obtained through
an uncommonly rich life, travels in

ance with many of her prominent con-
temporaries in her own country and

FOR TIME.


Oh for time, amid life's rush,
To learn the birds free notoi
To list the evenings gentle hush;
TO watch fair clouds afout;
To mark the grace Of flowers and leaves,
With o sense OF all their sweet,
TO ken the charms that nature weaves
In the green turf at our feet.
Oh for time for thoughtful heed
or the good cen we might do
or the joy that comes of loving deed,
Or an act that is just or true;
Out of the night so dark that speeds,
Wherever may be the morn,
On this dear earth, with its charms and needs
No other day shall dawn.
Oh for time, In the rush and the race,
To turn our feet aside,
The beauty OF earth and sky to trace,
And the charm of ocean wide;
TO note in the wild and jostlng throng
Some follow crushed or driven,
And give our hand as we go along;
This were to well have strlven,

Before the two women could recover
from their surprise their captor had
drawn the keen blade of his knife
across the bonds which had secured
their prisoners, and in voice
that rang from tree to tree he ordered
his band to replace every article as
they had found it, and load all again
into the wagon from which they had
been taken.
Though much surprised, the rob-
bers did not dare to question the orders
of their chief, but obeyed in sullen
silence.
AS the sun began to gild the tree tops
heavy covered wagon, drawn by two
yoke of oxen, halted before the cabin
of William Stewart, the ticket
man.
The sturdy driver was just coiling up
the long lash of his whip when he was
joined by those who were travelling in
his company, two ladies and three men.
One of the latter was mounted on a
horse whose glossy hair was black as
mi1night. As the rider drew rein he
called in CHEEKY voice:
sob, Win Stewart! Come, I've
brought you back the Duke that you
so kindly loaned me some months
since.

had dismounted and assisted one of the
ladies to do likewise. 1t was the

a body of police.
"Ah, viii, you see" coolly remarked
Fletcher you see they are after me. '

him and escape" said Stewart

And drawing his weapons from his belt
he dropped them to the ground. Then
folding his arms across his chest he
walked forward to meet the officers.

to secure their prisoner, the lieutenant
hurried toward the sheep-herder, ex
