| MIS-. Ma..,9 Miller, who vas viii
us for several years as nurse and at
tendant on little ones, was married in
June and went with her husband tc
Bosque county where he has good
home. All remember her kindly.
l am indebted to the teachers and
household officers for their co-opera-
ton with me in my efforts to promote
the interests of our pupils.
We expended about $1,000 rearrang-
ing and repairing the leaky roof and
tower of the central part of the main
buildings, and they now present u. bet
ter appearance than formerly. We did
not have funds enough to repair the
roofs OF the east and west wings of the
main building. For this work an ap.
preparation of $4,000 will be needed.
AS the east wing is now overcrowded
with female pupils, and there is no
room for enlsrging that part of the
house, it will be necessary to build an.
other house in the block across the
street, wherein we may put all male
pupils over the age of ten years, and
leave the west wing OF the present
main building for females and for lit
tie boys less than ten years of age.
For this purpose an appropriation of
about $4,000 will be needed. The
school is increasing, and necessity now
forces us to enlarge the buildings
elsewhere. When this improvement
shall have been made no other build
ing will be necessary for eight or ten
years.
The buildings will need repainting
all over, the plastering must be re-
newed in most of the buildings, the
fencing of the west block needs new
materials in parts Of it, and paint all
"houiuJ VIC piOpOhS oSuOOl looihS
must be changed into bedrooms for
girls if we make room Tor the boys
across the street, and the rooms in the
west wing of the building in the east
block must be changed into school
rooms. These changes, and improve
ments will cost quite sum of money,
yet they ought to be made for the
good of the school. Nearly every one,
strangers and all, who visit us are
afraid of our present chapel when
there is a crowed house. l feel
uneasy myself for the safety
of the children, and l think the
should grant us money
enough for new hall on the second |
or first floor. The members of the
are very fond of attending |
our concerts, and l hope they will APP
preciate the idea presented.
| have also asked for an appropria-
ton to have text books for this school
printed in the kind of raised point our
pupils like best, that is, in the cline"
letter, which in shape is just like the
letter used by sighted children. There
are two kinds OF prints for the blind
in this country and there is great
difference between the two-the line
print and the New York point print.

Treatment of Oiled Floors.

An expert in hard wood floors says that it
is common mistake for people to apply
wax to an oiled floor before the coat of oil
has become thoroughly dry. The wax sur
face is undoubtedly the best finish hard
wood floor can have. It requires continual
polishing with a wax polishing brush
when it is new, but when the wood has
finally been brought to a high state of
polish nothing is more satisfactory 4
great many people VINO have laid down
hard wood floors in their kitchen have be-
come dissatisfied with them because they
crack and fall off in splinters when they are
scrubbed and treated in the ordinary way.
Such result is likely to follow such q
method of treating a hard wood floor.
Scrubbing any such floor with alkali
soaps or strong slkalies is sure TO produce
such results. A hard wood floor must be
finished in oils, wax or shellac, and for OBJ
vious reasons the oil finish is the best for
kitchen use. A dirty floor may be wiped
with moist cloth, or if necessary little
soap and water may be used. The spot
then must be dried thoroughly and rub
bed with little parQuet oil.-New York

THE WOMAN LAWYER.
Her Clients Are Not Chiefly Women, as
Would Be Supposed.

Would Be Supposed.
A woman student of the law, whether in
an Office or a law school, has some peculiar
experiences. To single woman among a
class of men the dilemma of the lecturers
as to fitting mode of address is amusing.
Most of them will gaze anxiOusly around,
and fixing the eye upon the lone female,
with slight bow, will open the discourse
with the word Gentlemen" One profess
sor was always careful and courteous
enough to begin with the phrase, Lady
and gentlemen
1t is also amusing and gratifying to see
the refining effect of the lady's entrance
into the lecture hall or library of the
school. If the appraised masculine feet do
not at once and voluntarily come down
from the tabletop or back of the next
chair they are assisted to their rightful
place on the floor by the hands of some
fellow student. OF course there are always
some men who heartily disapprove of
woman's presence within the walls of the
law school, and are pleased to show their
disapproval in any way short of actually
rude conduct. have never know of sys-
tematically rude behavior toward a woman
law student.
When the woman lawyer puts out her
shingle, or in modern fashion inscribes her
name on the marble tablets at the entrance
of her building, her first experiences do
not differ much from those of her brothers
who are just beginning. Perhaps she has
few more "cranks" among her first
clients, who go to her because they 'think
they will get more sympathy from a wom-
an" When sooner or later they have to
be shown the door, their reproaches for
her inhuman hard heartedness are particu-
larly severe, because they expected better
things from woman"
Her clients are not, as many suppose,
chiefly women. On the contrary, she is
more likely to be employed by men who
want to give her chance to show what
she can do. Therefore her cases are as
likely to be questions of business contracts
as controversies that are connected with
matters popularity supposed to be within
woman's sphere.
When she appears in court the woman
attorney finds the judges and the attend
ing counsel as courteous and as deferential
as they would be in her drawing ROOM
They will treat her as unequal, except that
they will assist her by placing chairs, hand
ing books and papers and doing more
favors for her than for their male col
leagues. In fact they treat her very much
as they would treat the distinguished legal
lights of the age if they were within the
bar-that is, with deferential courtesy.
This, of course is only the case when the
woman lawyer behaves as a lady. If she
assumes a defiant and bullying manner,
as if to demand special recognition, she
will receive the treatment she deserves
But such conduct is, | am happy to say,
extremely rare among our women at the
bar, and is much lamented by others who
are in public opinion weighed in the same
balance with such misguided PERSONS

A SONG or CONTENT.

What If the wind rise up in might,
And gather blackness till day be night
Till lightnings burn through the awful sky,
And the rain like cursed wrath shrieks byi
The sun is my friend. and the hours run fast,
And a summer storm cannot always last;
Here in my heart white lilies blow,
AS sweet as lilies can be, trow,
And that is enough for me.
What if King Winters mailed hand
Lay waste our beautiful flower filed landi
What IL the wind come raging down
To help the snow to bury the town.
The sun is my friend, and the days run fast,
And Winters sway cannot always last;
Sweet Daphne, close to my side, lifts up
The breath of May in her rosy cup,
And that is enough for me.
What if my neighbor's robes outshine
These simple, plain little gowns Of minel
What if her coach roll up the street
And leave me walking through mud and sleetl
Work is my friend, and the years run fast,
Grim poverty's reign may not always last;
And have love, which is sweeter than gold,
Love-as much as my heart can hold,
And that is enough for me.

BOnnets of an Empress.

thirty-eight bonnets in one month. We do
not know at what number her mighty hus-

self with the acquisition of this number,
he-when he one day went into the saloon
leading to her apartment and found in it
Mile. Despeaux. the miiiiner, with huge
pile of suspicious looking bandboxes-was
SO indignant at the idea of his wife making
fresh purchases that ne few into such a
passion that every one ran away, leaving
him to decide whether he would vent his
rage on poor Josephine, who was prisoner
with her feet in foot bath, or On the MILL.

He did little of both. He was so angry
with Josephine that she was speeches.
with terror, and he sent for Savary, mis-
minister of police, and ordered him to ar
rest Mile. Despaux. She was sent to La
Force Immediately, and though her fear Of
Napoleon and horror OF a night in prison
made her Ill, her fortune was probably
made by this startling outbreak of impe-
rial temper. Next day nearly every one in
