to the crowd assembled on the fair grounds his

How Bright Woman Fooled a Veteran
/ found myself recently talking to
Mr., George w Childs than whom wom-
an never had more sincere friend-on
his experience with women as
journalists His words will interest
thousands of women, and give them
verbatim. Said Mr.. Childs: "Some of
the best writers on my paper are the
women editors of it, and there is not
one of them who is not paid for her
work exactly as though she were a man.
l believe fully in this. 1t is true trat
women have, in many quarters, been
underpaid for their labors; but am
convinced, from evidences | have seen,
that this state of things is gradually be-
coming less. Let women be given fair
chance in business. They will very of
ten do work ever better than men. In
proof of this, let me give you an anec-
dote of one of my women writers:
'For years the Ledger has published
weekly article which has attracted
widespread attention and interest. 1t
is, may say, one of the leading feat
ures of the paper. For a long time it
was written by man, nonresident
of this city, and whom had never seen.
One morning his wife came to see me.

Ill and unable TO do his work any
longer. For a number of months past
have been writing his editorials fol
him, and have now come to ask you
to allow me to continue doing so.

CONCERNING THE FAIR SEX.

HALF of the number of pupils attend

The bachelor girl is now the term

Miss f. A. GRAY, who has taken the

A NEW female device for earning a
livelihood is that of going around to the
houses of society people and cleaning
and repairing fine dresses that have
been accidentally soiled or otherwise
injured. The scheme was developed in
Buffalo. There are some women who
have all they can attend to in this
line.
THE statute providing for the admis

at Oxford was rejected by only four

Peculiar Pursuits for Women.

Every year women seem to engage
more freely than ever before in peculiar
pursuits, says an exchange. A young
lady in England is just publishing an
account of a journey she made with
only valet, through wild part of
Russia. She went on horseback and
Travelled 1,500 miles. She rode astride
and wore a sort of DR.. Mary Walker
costume, which at times she covered
with coarse woolen gown. She slept
out at night on the ground, went bare
footed, ate vile food, lived in a discom-
fort equal to that of Stanley or Ken
nan, and all to write a book. Another
lady went over Alaska practically alone
and has written book, and for women
to 90 around the world alone, has be-
come so old "A story as to no longer fur

Education of Girls in scandinavia.

Sweden provides literally for the
educational needs of women. Stock
holm has four government schools for
teaching women different crafts; the
annex of the mems technical training
school is also devoted to girl students,
who are taught various trades, This
school is attended by 70 pupils drawn
from the lower middle-class. The
daughters of work people have their
educational needs principally provided
for by the society for the encourage
ment of manual labor, which has found
ed nine schools, held in the evening
and on Sundays, wherein 700 young
girls receive an elementary, technical,
scientific and artistic education. An
osher association, the society of the
friends of manual labor, promotes,
technically and commercially, the ma
tional feminine industries. The society
consists of 1 900 members, who devote
themselves to the organization of
schools, of studios and workshops.
The government of Norway provide
no less literally for the professional
education of the women. Private So
cieties also do a great deal to this end
At Christiania technical school for
girls is attended by 200 pupils, and Ber'
gen and Trondjhem both have flourish
ing technical schools.

was stricken with terrible malady
which left her partially paralyzed.
Often during the summer that followed
her prostration she lay with longing
heart and wistful eyes, looking after

As the months passed the anxious
parents noted with sorrow that Hannah

they knew from the look of patient res
ignation, which grew to be a fixed eX-
preston of her countenance, that she
fully understood their feelings and had
resolved to submit to the inevitable.
Though there was no hope of her re-
covery she was not miserable. She
longed for the sunshine and freedom OF
youth, but the excruciating sufferings
through which she had passed had de-
veloped in her spirit of patient endur'
