she goes to rich lady friend and persuades

What a Woman Can Do.

So great Is the influence of a sweet minded
woman on those around her that 1t Is almost
boundless. 1t Is to her that friends come In
seasons of sorrow and sickness for help and
comfort. One soothing touch Of her kindly
hands works wonders In the feverish child; a
few words let fall from her lips In the ear Of
a sorrow stricken sister do much to raise the
load Of grief that Is bowling Its victim down
to the dust In anguish. The husband comes
home worn out with the pressure of business
and feeling irritable with the world In gen.
eral, but when he enters the cozy sitting
room and sees the blaze of fire and meets his
wife's smiling face he succumbs In a moment
to the soothing influences, which act as the
balm of Gilead to his wounded spirits that
are wearied with the stern realities of life.
The rough sch0olboy flies into a rage from
the taunts of his companions to find soace In
his mothers smile; the little one, full of grief
with her large trouble, finds haven Of rest
on its mothers breast; and one might go on
with instance after instance Of the influence
that a sweet.minded woman has In the social
life with which she is connected. Beauty Is
an insignificant power when compared with
hers.-[Churchman.

A Famous Woman Astronomer.

One of the first American women to OBJ
tain celebrity as an astronomer was Maria
Mitchell, who was born In Nantucket, Mass,
August 1, 1918. She was the daughter Of
william Mitchell, an astronomer, by whom
she was taught, and, after receiving her
education, aided him In bis work. At the
age Of eighteen she became librarian of the
Nantucket Athenaum, remaining there for
twenty years, devoting her leisure to her
favorite science. Sbe made a specially Of
the study of nebuIe, made careful observa-
lions and searched for comets. She dis
covered several nebuls and found comet on
October |. 1874, which discovery was con-
tirmed by her father, Professor w. c. Bond,
of Harvard, and several italian astronomers.
The King of Denmark presented her with a
gold medal for this. and the Republic of
San Marine, 10 Italy, had a copper medal
struck In her honor. During the rest of her
life she discovered seven other comets. She
made q trip to Europe In 1858, and visited the
family of Sir John Herchel, and was enter
tanned by the distinguished English astron-
omer, Sir George b. Airy. She was receive
ed by Leverrier In Paris, and by Humbolt
In Berlin, where she also met Encke. whose
name Is associated with wonderful comet.

4. The sef.denying way: To save the cost

w, Box In the Ladies' Home Journal. The
training of the girl of fifteen Is shown In the
woman of fifty. A son may, by contact with
the rough world, sometimes outlive bis early
home Influences daughter rarely does. She
may make misstep. Indiscretion may be to
her necessary teacher; but her early domes.
tic training will manifest Itself sooner or
later. A mothers word, a domestic proverb,
told at eventIde by the quiet Preside, has been
recalled by many a woman years after 1t was
uttered. II thank God that my mother told
me what other women have been taught by
the world" said gentewOman to me not
long ago. This, my friend, Is the tribute
which your daughter and mine should be
able to pay TO our memories long after we
are gone. The world has sharp way of
teaching Its truths to girl. Is 1t not far bet
ter, then, that her mother should tell her
with that sweet and sympathetic grace and
genteness which only mother knows? The

Common Sense Among Boston Women Will
Bear Fruit in October.
A strong dress reform club has been quiet.
ly launched In Boston. A Post reporter has
learned that 1t Is seriously proposed by mum.
Der of Boston women to appear on the streets
the first rainy Saturday In October In a short
skirt, made up Of waterproof cloth, In dark
colors, reaching but an inch or two below the
knee, with heavy boots and long CATERS made
from macintosh cloth. II CATERS are not
used then mousquetaire or ordinary riding
boots will be worn. The skirt will be Killed
and hang heavy SO as not to be disarranged
by the wind. A REFER jacket or long cloak
will cover the upper part of the body, and
under this fancy silk skirt or ordinary dress
waist will be worn. An ordinary hat or bet
ter still tarpauin sailor hat, will complete
what will certainly be very novel costume.
1t has been decided to have no complete uni
formIty about the dress. In the matter Of
material, the members of the club have been
instructed to exercise their Individual taste,
making the toilet as attractive and becoming
as possible. The membership of this dress
reform club has already reached 200, and In
cludes school teachers, physicians, actors and
other professionals. Discussions are held
seeking the best means to bring about the
much needed change. All the members have
pledged themselves to appear on The streets
aud In the stores of Boston, In fact, wherever
they are likely to attract attention, In dress
which they think may become popular with
womenin stormy weather.

The Lowest place.

1t Is far better to have an humble estimate
of ourselves. The time may come, after 6
season of self.exutatIon, when we may be
required to take an humber place. How
much better to occupy the position of the
meek and lowly, for we shall surely some
day, even In this world, hear the Invitation,
"come up higher" True merit will surely
be recognized. The truly great are more con.
scious for their own imperfections, because
they know themselves better than the world
can ever know them. When French Am.
bassador paid visit to Lord Bacon on his
death bed, he said to the dying man: "You
are like the angels, of whom we read and
bear much but have not the pleasure Of see.
Ing them" The curtains had been closely
drawn around the bed so that the visitor
could not see the dying philosopher. Bacon
replied, III the compIatsance of Others COM
pares me TO an angel, my infirmities tell me I
am man."-[Central Baptist.
