was highly praised by Jules Simon, the
Chairman of the meeting. A writer in
the Indianapolis Press says:
May Wright Sewall is woman alive
at all points, and has keen eye for in
tellectual advancement of every kind and
degree. Much Of the culture for which
Indianapolis women are becoming Justly
noted is directly or indirectly traceable to
Mrs. Sewalps influence and indefatiga-
bility.
'Mrs. Sewall's platform manner is
gracious and easy, She has tact in
abundance, and her talent as manager
has bridged over many rough places in
Indiana suffrage conventions.
Probably no other woman in the
State associations has more irons in the
fire, or handles them with greater ability.
"She is preceptress of fine school for
girls, oversees the affairs of the boarding
establishment connected with the school,
is an art patron, prominent in the largest
and Oldest woman's club in the city. en-
tertains literally and is socially present
everywhere"
From this complete description from
one of Mrs. Sewalfs near neighbors, it
will be seen that her activities are not
one-sided. Like Nine. De Stael, she
could make her living, If necessary, in at
least dozen different eallings.
MRS. ROBERT P. PORTER.
Mrs. Robert L. Porter, the wife OF the
Superintendent of the Census, is one OF
| the best newspaper women in this coun-
try. Circumstances, however, have asked
| her to step up higher" for, instead OF
writing editorials and sketches of men
and women. her life is devoted to her
husband and four little ones. The home
of the Porters is an ideally happy one, as
Il home is apt to be when & woman is her
| husbands equal intellectually. When
Mr.. Porter was editor of the Press he
| frequently telephoned up to Mrs. Porter
| to lay aside her sewing and write an edi-
torial on some subject with which she
was familiar. lie was too busy TO do it,
so he called on his wife. Lucky msn!
Mrs. Portcr's newspaper career began in
| Chicago. Previous to her marriage she
did excellent work for the San and
| Tribune. She helped to start the Press,
and much OF the popularity which that
paper at once achieved was due to her.
| Much OF the stuff as men call the work
done by women and by men on women,
| printed in the Press, was quickly recog-
nized as the productions of Mrs. Por,er's
pen. EMMA TRAPPER.

quent meals, the digestion of which is
aided by frequent draughts of vodki and
tea. Eodki is the Russian whisky and
made from potatoes and rye. 1t is fiery
ana colorless and favored with some ex-
tract like vanilla or orange. 1t is drunk
from small cups that hold, perhaps, half
a gill. Vodki and tea are inseparable ac-
compartments of friendly as well as of
business intercourse in the country of the
Car. Drunken men are rare Russia
and Sweden are the only two countries in
which the double dinner is the rule.
When you go 70 the house of Russian,
be he friend or stranger, you are at once
invited to a side table, where salted meat.
picked eel, salted cucumbers and MANY
other spicy and appetizing viands are
urged upon you with an impressiveness
that knows no refusal. This repast is
washed down with frequent cups OF
vodki. That over, and when the visitor
feels as if he had eaten enough for twenty
four hours, the host says: aAnd now for

Yesuvius and Etna.

1t Is very rare that the eruptions of
these two great volcanoes are contempo-
raneous. aud the fact is all the more re-
markable from the existence between the
two of Stromboli, volcano which, from
the earliest history, has never been inact-
i've. Vesuvius 'and Etna are about 200
miles apart in an almost direct line north
and south with Stromboli. As rule,
when Etna is active. Vesuvius is quies-
cent, and vice versa. The principal
eruptions of Vesuvius were in the years
A. ID. 20, 303, Az, 5l2, 6S5, e93, I049 lbs,
1906, after which the volcano was quiet
until the great eruption of 1881, and from
that time to the great outbreak of 1779
small eruptions were frequent. Over
seventy eruptions of Etna are recorded
before the present century, but in no case
were they contemporaneous with those of
Vesuvius. The most important eruptions
OF the two mountains during the last few
years have alternated. In lS47 Vesuyius
was active and Etna quiescent; the re-
verse was the case during the Etna erup-
ton of 1852; then came the turn of Vesu-
vius in 1858, followed by long period of
rest, while violent outbreak OF Etna
took place in 1858, followed by quiet and
the great Nesuvian eruption OF 1872.
Geologists have conjectured that both are
fed from the same subterranean fires,
which find vent alternately to the north
