ANNA ELLA CARROLL
,eenliest woman that the age hath owned

VUo1LIIItSt "ULLIEtH tIIat LIio e.oe HttIH U"Neu1
Who the respect of rulers didst command,
a peer and counselor with statesmen stand;
Who, when the eternal right was still post
poned,
With loyal heart thy slaves as freemen throned;
Whose teeming brain, when war divorced the
land,
With master skill the march victorious
planned
Why round the world is not thy praise intoned?
Alas, thou art womanI Bow thy head
And stand apart. Too great for dwarfed r.
nown,
Take no half plaudit proffered thee so late!
Enough that round thy lonely dying bed
Patriots and heroes, with starry crown,
Are thronging for the opening Of the gate.

Two Successful Architects.

The success of Miss Hayden and Miss
Howe in the competition for designs for
the Women's building at the Worlds
fair-one of them securing the first prize
and the other the seconds a subject of
congratulation, not only for Boston, but
for the institute of technology, at which
these young ladies have studied their art.
Miss Hayden, who took the first prize, is
a graduate OF the institute of only one
years standing; Miss Howe took the
special course of two years, which has
now been discontinued Com

A DYING CAUSE.
Even the Rapid old Golden Club is Going
to Pieces

And now we learn that the Golden club
has given up its annual dinner this year.
No reasons are given, but of course there
are reasons. A banquet is generally in time
of rejoicing, and Golden club banquet in
1891, when Free-Trade is in disgrace the
world over, would be rather misnomer.
But with the announcement that the ban
quet was abandoned, comes the news that
the work of educating uncivilized coun-
tries like the United States is still to go
on. Through their agents in this country
pamphlets on the evils Of protection will
continue to be spread over the west. One
more effort will be made to influence a
robbed and ''tax burdened" people to
adopt the policy of Golden and Bright
then they will have the banquet. But
will they have it?

Sewing Fashionable,

Just now thatsewing is SO fashionable
there is a stir in the thimble trade Sill
yer, plain or chased, can be had for fifty
cents or one dollar; gold finger caps,
chased, engraved or enameled, range
from five dollars to fifteen dollars; set
with semi-precious stones they are ff-
teen dollars, and jeweled with real
gems they are eighty dollars. You may
believe that not few thimbles set with
small diamonds or ruby chips are worn
by the sweet girls and exquisite matrons
who ply the needle in and out of eight
cent cotton frocks and red petticoats.-

ously i'll, the result of a bite received ten
days ago from a parrot which he has had
many years. The bite was slight, and
no attention was paid to it at the time
A few days later Mr.. Rehm experienced
great pain in the finger, which became
greatly infamed, but became better and
the wound was thought to be healing.

A DROP OF HAY-wATER.
What One may See Therein by the Aid of a
Microscope.

Let me tell you Of some of the wonder
full things have seen. Once | put little
hay in tumber, covered it with water,
and set the glass In a warm place for day
or two. Then, with a medicine dropper,
| pat a drop of the water ON O. glass slip,
covered it with very thin glass wafer the
size of cent, placed it under my micro
scope, adjusted the focus, and what a sight
met my eyes. Dozens and dozens of
VIVA looked like animated drops of jelly
were darling here and there, humping
against enc another Or lodging one
another like school boys at aces. Perhaps
among the crowd of smaller ones would
dash a much bigger fellow. I fancied it
might be a big brother, older than the
other by sorae hours, and so entitled to
the difference he seemed to exact. Then,
little ones formed almost circle, and
presently in the center Of this came big

self. q That is exactly the way l have
seen him address an audience surrounding
a circus ring" But / can never know
what he told the small ones, for even the
* little ghost of an inaudible squeak -
reached my ears. Besides these little
creatures, I could see what looked like
dark specks darting above. Determined
to find out what these were, | used a
stronger magnifying glass. and looking
through it the specks proved to be other
little swimmers such as | had Just been
examining; the latter, of course, seemed
larger. But now there were still other
specks darling about, so still stronger
glass was used, with the same result.
Magnify as might, could not reach
point where there were not some moving
atoms needing further magnifying.
have since learned that no glass has ever
been made powerful enough to reveal the
tiniest Of these.

THO New Queen of Hawaii.

AGgices from Hawaii confirm the pre-
Vious reports shat the new queen is pur-
suing an independent course, and that
she has surprised all adversaries by her
prOmptitude and energy in dealing with
political business. After her success in
overcoming the obstructive ministers
who We're IN Office at her accession. and
securing Il cabinet Of her own selection,
she proceeded to make such other official
appointments as indicated her determi-
nation to exercise her full constitutional
authority. By her diplomatic tact she
has put an end to various intrigues, and
by her decision of character she has
overcome obstacles that endangered her
reign.
Queen Liliuokalani has recently shown
her ability to carry on negotiations with
other powers. She has held conferences
with her cabinet regarding the new COM
mercial treaty with the United States,
and, if the reports from Honolulu are to
be credited, she has shown that she has
her own ideas as to the method of set
tnng the questions at issue.
The many manifestations of independ-
ence by the queen have COMPOUNDED the
ODstructlonists, whose tactics are not to
be 'dlsregarded. But all Hawaiians are

Wyoming Woplen viii Give a Flag.

Wyoming proposes to contribute a
handsome flag to the annual convention
of the National W. G. T. U. to be held
in this city next fall, The flag will be
in honor Of the franchise department,
and will bear one large star, the ''bright
particular star" Of the one equal rights

tributions for this purpose should be
asked for from the country at large, but
the friends in Wyoming say they can do it
without help. Mrs. Therese A. Jenkins,

says, eff there is anything Wyoming is
especially good at, it is getting up flags"

The Lactnrn Flood I'm Gntham.

On days when neither mission schools
nor sewing circles claim fashionable at
tention all womankind that can rake
and scrape five dollars together buys a
ticket for Mr.. IS, Mrs. IS or Miss
IS course of lectures. f on any fine
sunny morning New York should sud
denly be stricken with silence the voice
of at least 500 lecturers, both male and
female, proclaiming on 500 different sub
jects, would confound and astonish US.
They all make money, too, though half
of them scarcely know a hawk from a
handsaw, and talk fuently to US On no
less threadbare subjects than Ibsen
Browning and Shakespeare.
We go to hear them, nevertheless, and
when you see a long line OF carriages
along the sidewalk rest assured Mesdames
Jones, Brown and Robinson are inside
drinking in the golden truths that drop
from a lanBy professor on the wicBedness
and inwardness of ''The Dolls House. ;"
All the women lecturers get Mrs. Cleve-
land, Mrs. E. D. Morgan, Mrs. Moses
Taylor and Mrs. Marshall 0. Roberts to
put their names to the card of lady
patronesses, and after that Tom, Dick
and Harry's wife would rather resign all
hopes of several new spring bonnets than
not pay their way into the same COM
pany.
They very carefully attend every one
of Walter Damrosch's Wagner lectures
at the Berkeley lyceum. Not at all be-

cause Mrs. Everybody Else who is any

Berkeley when to hear a lecture one
has to stand outside and hearken through

4 Woman Instructfng Lawyers.

Miss Alice Parker, attorney at law,
lately proposed amendments to the ex-
listing Massachusetts, laws of distribu-
ton and administration of estates. The
purpose was to equalize the right of the
wife in sharing property to that of the
husband. One of the proposed changes
was to set aside to widow with minor
children the entire estate of the husband
and father if it does not exceed 81 ZOO.
The matter was heard before the senate

PROTECTION OF SHIPPING.
Two Ocean Greyhounds to be Built Over

Results are already beginning to appear
from the postal subsidy bill. The Inman
Steamship company has been induced by
it to undertake the construction of two
new ocean greyhounds, equal to the very
finest vessels afoat. They will be built
in this country and will fly the American
flag. The estimated cost: is 100000
for the two, each to be of 10000 tons
register These millions of dollars will
therefore, be spent to give employment to
American labor, and to circulate among
American tradesmen, instead of going
abroad. Even little protection to ship
ing works very well.
