Invention OF the Panorama.

Tho panorama was invented by n
Scotchman named Robert Barker, who
obtained license in London, England,
in 1857, and erected n rotundn on
Leicester Square. He was associated
with Robert Fulton, the practical in
ventor of the steamboat, who introduced
panoramas into Paris in 1896, but re-
signed in favor of Thaycr, perhaps in
order to give his attention to the appli-
cation Of steam to boats. Thayer raised
IL rotunda on the Boulevard Montmartre.
whence comes the name of the Passage
DIES Panoramas. Bonapartc caused plans
to be drawn up for eight panoramas, in
which his conQuests were to be shown to
the Parisians, whom he always tried to
impress with the magnitude of his
achievements in order to keep them faith
fui to his star. But these projects were
never realized. Barker was imprisoned
for debt at Edinburgh, in cell with one
opening only, in one corner of the roof
of the dungeon. 1t was so dark that he
could not see to read, but he found that
by placing the paper near the narrow
shaft of light that fell through the hole
in the ceiling the letters of the writing
became surprisingly distinct. This set
him thinking, and after he was released
he began experiments on pictures strongly
lighted from above in dark room,-

WOMAN NOT TIE WEAKER VESSEL.

Ia.
Among savagcs the woman is Just as
healthy us the man. Considered rs an
animal from IL physiological standpoint,
q woman is capable of moro hard work,
of enduring more hardship, deprivation,
and disease than man. 4 woman will
endure where man will succumb and
break down entirely. She is not natu-
rally the weaker vessel, and certainly in
some respects woman is constitutionally
the superior. Out of IN equal number
Of male and female infants there will be
found ut the end of tho first year Of life
larger number of girls alive than boys,
according to statistics. This discrepancy
continues up to the age of fifteen or sin
teen, when the mortality becomes great
est among the girls. AT the age of forty,
or fifty the death rate is about equal in
both sexes, and, finally, the oldest in
habitant is always a woman, thus show
ing that her constitutional fund of vi
tally is naturally greatest. 1t is soma
times argued that u woman is naturally
weaker and inferior because the average
weight of her brain is from four to six
ounces less than that of the average
man, and that thus her intellectual
quality is less rs well as her physical.
But when the size of womau's brain is
considered in comparison with the weight
of her body, it is evident that woman
has more brain per pound than man !;
and If that be Il proper standard of COM
parison, then woman is the superior.
There is no physical reason why wo-
man should be more feeble or diseased
than man. Stanley was furnished with
two hundred African women to carry his
stuff into the interior of Africa, and he
found them the best porters he had en-
ployed, although he felt very doubtful
about accepting their services when first
proposed. The Mexican Indian woman
is able to carry her household goods on
her back with two or three babies on ton
when change of location is desirable.
Meanwhile her husband trudgcs bravely
along carrying his gun. On the CONT
ncnt OF Europe most of the heavy work
is done by women. In Vienna, women
and dogs are frequently hitched to-
gether, and sometimes woman is yollcd
with COW to draw load Of produce to
the city. Many of these peasant women
will carry upon their heads load of
vegetables that few American men could
easily lift. These women have the mus
clos of the waist and trunk thoroughly
developed. Despite their hardships,
they do not suffer from the backache or
other ailments which the women who
dress fashionably are constantly afflicted
with.-PArcnologicat Journal.

CHICAGO WOMEN LAWYERS.

Chicago is especially kind to women
who practise law, and some of theI. hold
high places in the profession. Judge J..
d. Bradwcll presided at the recent din
ner of the Illinois Bar Association, and
his ideas on the subject may be gathered
from the fact that his wife, Mrs. Myra
Bradwcll, has been for over twenty years
the editor of the Chicago Legal Meas,
and his daughter, Mrs. Bessie b. Helmer,
has studied law, and has assisted her
father in editing twelve volumes of the
Appellate Reports of Illinois. The Legal

Journal. Mrs. Helmer, Judge Bradwcll's
daughter, was married not long ago to a
young lawyer. She is President of the
Association of Collegiate Alumnae. Mrs.
Mary A. Ahrens, another female lawyer
OF Chicago, answered to the toast "Wo-
man N the Learned Professions" at tho
banquet of the State Bar Association.
Governor Fifer and Judge Lyman Trum-
bull had preceded her as speakers, but
she had sufficient sclf-confidcnce to make
a graceful though modest speech. A
few sentences of her speech were: "Wo-
man in the learned professions. AS a
preacher, we know that she is emiueutly
qualified to stand by the coffin and spsak
to those who sit broken hearted and
mourning by the side of their beloved
ones; we know TINT out Of her heart she
will speak words of comfort and cheer
we know from the past that she no longer
shrinks at the sight of blood; she is able
to bind up the wound, yea, strong enough
to use the knife and cut out that part
which is infectious, and if not removed
is death. In the profession of law she
comes last, but she will not be the least:
she comes among her learned brethren
with humility enough to make her a
willing pupil. "-Ne,o Yor5 Tribune.

A NECKLACE CREATES SENSATION.

An Empress's necklace has been
creating quite sensation in Madrid for
Its beauty and its great value, us we'll as
for its historic associations. The neck
lace belonged to the Empress Eugene
and was present from Ismael, the
Vlceroy OF Egypt, who sent it to the En-
press in 1869 on the occasion of her visit
to open the Suez Canal A few wears
ago all the Crown diamonds and Jewels
were put up to auction by the Republic.
Among the buyers was jeweler from
Madrid, who bought the necklace be-
cause the Empress Eugene was
Spaniard by birth. The necklace con-
sists of great pearls of singular beauty
and is priced at SIS ,000.-!San Francisco

cArEs roR SPRING WEAR.

The capcs for spring wear are made
quite long. Many of thcm arc finished
without yoke, the fulness being adjusted
IN neck-band, to which the NIedici collar
is fastened. BY some ingenious method tho
cape is slightly raised on the shoulders,
and there is pretty hood lined with u
color, which gives style to what would
otherwise appear n commonplace and
somewhat childish garment The cape
is lined throughout with silk, and rib
bons to match fasten it ut the throat
AT present light colors are most favored,
and are likely to romain popular. The
Henry w. cape is one among the many
revivals OF the modes of past centuries.
1t becomes youthful women who are tall
and slim, out it is not by any means a
garment suited to mature people, and on
short stout figure, though the wearcr
be young, the cape is decidedly unbe-
coming. York Post.

USING VELVET ECONOMICALLY AND WE'LL
TIE judicious use of velvet curiches a
gown, is universally becoming, and is
the one material that can be used with
lace, silk, wool, cotton, etc. Ribbon
velvet and grosgrain ribbon having n
satin edge, are the favorite trimming

and lengthwisc rows, as bride bows,

on the outside of the arm. and trim the
front Of the basques irrcgularly, ms three
straps on one side and two or four on the
other, coming diagonally across the
front. The cabbage-rosettcs spoken of
are used on ladies' and children's dresses
and hats. They must be loose and fluffy
to be success. If made of ribbon take
thirty inches of No. 10 or No. 16 ribbon.

EAIR, HAT AM

KAIR, HAT AND SHOE OF ENGLISH GIRLS
One of the funniest sights in London
at the present is found in the hats worn
by the young women. At various times
the hat of the New York female has
dwindlcd to humorously small proper
eUns, but never has it faded to the
atomic size of this present hint of head
covering now liked upon the head of
feminine London. An abundance of
hair is also fashionable at lust this time,
and, with the small, butter plate arrange
ment slapped at n sharp angle precisely
on the front Of great bush of frizzled
locks, the young women seen about are
better than anything in the current bur-
lesque. Another peculiar feminine fash
ion of the day is that of the low shoe.
The choicest girls in Mayfair wear
only the low shoe in the sloppiest and
coolest weather. The sensible walking
shoe of the British maiden is one of the
myths that are so plentiful in the records
of the English, for she makes sadden-
ing attempt to utilize the high French
heel and pointed toe, which, considering
the national failing, is IL very large Job
for her to successfully accomplish. The
hair, the hat and the shoe of the West
End beauty are the only conspicuous
distinctions that exist between her and
her American cousin. Her garments are
similar to, and as attractive, as those
worn by the bellies of Murray Hill. CHI
