Whether by chance or enterprise, this new eouoh OF

IN onnortnne moment, when the author has SAID MS
last word and all his countrymen are mourning oy MS
omen grave OF the book itself there Is smai hoeo -

letters has long been fixed. NO man mas ever tou
tbe story Of his own life with less reserve Or greater
drectness or more in his own proper character anu his
ov human or more to the satisfaction of the reader
wbetber for enjoyment for instruction on nearly
every mage some touch occurs that reminds one OF an
artists criticism OF the great unfinished marble al
Florence that Michael Angelo meant 10 hIlsh some
aay into the likeness OF David, King OF Israel; IKE
,bst host Of all: love to see where his hammer made

As though his own franlSness were not enough
General sherman has with rare fairness opened his
pages TO all who to claim the privilege OF correct
ing his statements, Of putting themselves right Oh
the record; nor has he recalled single grain OF tle
Gift by keeping the closing argument to himself
new first chapter of twenty pages tells interest
ngly of his early days from boyhood to the outpreaK
~ the Mexican War. A final chapter covers the
p-1od from the end of the for the Union down to

WHAT TWO WOMEN DID.

A well-knOwn literary editor was
asked lately whether he had gained
through his position any new views of
life in this country. He said:
For one thing, / have been surpris-
ed by the enormous number of young
women who are trying to become in
dependent by earning their own liv-
ing. This is as it should be- But the
least satisfactory feature connected
with the fact is that the most of them
despise the commonplace methods of
money making and try to earn it in
some unusual adventurous way. 1
constantly receive stories and essays
written by young girls upon every
subject but those which they under
stand. One publishing firm, since one
woman reporter wentround the world,
has been importuned by girls asking
to be sent to write up the Pacific Is
lands, Iceland and even Africa. Most
of these adventurous young women
come from farms or inland villages.
Here is an incident to serve as a
companion picture to this sketch of
the EDITORS: Two women in New Jer-
sey, hearing ten years ago that the
butter made in certain diaries in the
south of France brought very high
prices in London, saved their wages
until they had enough to go to the dis
trict where the butter was made, and
learn the secret of the French diaries.
They returned home, began with
the manufacture of a few pounds each
week in their fathers house, and in
two years were able to set their own
price upon the butter in New York.

Perhaps the largest and most valua-
BILE collection of laces in the possession
of any one is owned by Mrs. Robert l..
Stuart, the widow of the old time sugar
refiner But some very rare and beau
tifuI laces are owned by New York
women. These treasures have come
into their possession either by inner
itance from their ancestors or by pur-
chase during trips to Europe. The day
for wearing real and valuable laces,
except on extraordinary occasions, is
past, however.
Fashionable women rarely allow their
precious laces to adorn their gowns
nowadays. y rich dinner toilet may
be sometimes trimmed with a prOfusiOn
of genuine old lace, but the ornament
is removed from the gown when the
owner takes the garment off
For ordinary wear the imitation laces
have taken the place of the more costly
kind Mrs William X Vanderbilt,
Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt Mrs. Will
liam D. Sloane, Mrs Aston, Mrs. New
bold Morris, Mrs Prescott Lawrence,
AIrS. Charles A. POST, Mrs. Frederic
Goodridge Mrs. John Ewing, Mrs.
John Warren, Mrs. Royal Phelps Car
roll are among the society women who
have real Iaces, which, however, they
seldom use to embellish their gowns
Mrs Marshall g. Roberts and Mrs
Bradley Martin possess some rare and
very choice Iaces, and it has been said
that the old laces owned by Mrs. Whit
ney and Mrs. Levi p Morton are col
Iectively worth over 500, 000 The
Belmont Iaces were also once famous
collection of rare examples of artistic
handiwork of great value and beauty.

Mrs. Fannie Clark Shaingay Mission,
VIC. Africa, under date of May II, 1891,

Mrs. Fannie Clark Shaingay Mission,
VIC. Africa, under date of May II, 1891,
writes:
81 wrote you a few years ago that we,
the members of the W CT y. of Shain-
gay, VIC Africa, had drawn up petit
ton, and secured many signatures, to
have the Chief put stop to the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in this district.
He made excuses for not signing it,
but we did not cease TO pray. How
great was our establishment when on
the Both ult., he summoned all of the
people of the town to assemble in the
Barra, where we hold religious servic-
