Going Upon . worlds Fair Errand.

Miss Mary Schiller, who is going to
South America in the interest of the
Columbian exposition, is grandniece
of the German author bearing that
name and was for five years school
teacher in Pittsburgh. At the end Of
that time she had saved sufficient mon
ey togo abroad and to remain there for
three years. which she devoted to per-
fecting herself in the modern languages
and in the study of art and architecture.
On her return to this country Miss
Schiller went to Washington to teach
German and Latin in the schools and
English in the South American lega-
tions. She has also acted as regular
contributor to the Ledger, of Philadel-
phia. During her daily intercourse
with the legations of the Argentine
Republic, Brazil, Chill, Colombia, Peru
and Venezuela the determined little
teacher seized the opportunity not only
to perfect herself in the Spanish
tongue, but to acquire thorough
knowledge of the literature of South
America in general, and especially of
the efforts in prose and poem of it's
best known women. She has now in
preparation translation of popular
novel written by the Helen Hunt of
South America, and bearing strong re-
semblance in style to the exquisite story
of Ramona. Chicago Post.

A Bride, Wife and Mother Club.

An outgrowth of Miss Dodge's club
for working girls in New York city, is
the Bride, wife and mother club"
which meets every week at the club
rooms on Thirty-eighth street. Some
OF the members of the girls society
graduated into wifehood, and FORGETTING
thus the privileges of the girls club,
they entreated Miss Dodge to organize
a special branch for wives. These are
some of the subjects discussed: "Choos-
ing and furnishing house." BEST and
easiest way of keeping house." blouse
cleaning and it's aid," "How to dress,
amuse and train children" "How to
make home pleasant for both hus-
band and children" and ''How to be
neighborly without being gossipy." A
woman physician has been hired to talk
on "Babies and their needs" "Emerg-
encies and how to meet Them" '"The
medicine box and it's uses" A trained
nurse has given practical lessons in the
care of the sick, the making of beds for
invalids, the bandaging of simple
wounds that are not serious enough to
need the doctors attention, and the
preparation of food for the sick

THE SURE REFUGE.

"Under His wings shalt thou trust"
Alone within the depth of forest wild,
Or desert bare,
Beyond the 81 ght Of Thy loved face and form,
Beyond Thy care
Thou dost not bid me go and trust Thee
there.
But folded close within Thy loving arms
Against Thy breast,
While DER me bends Thy tender, smiling
face
Isweetly rest,
And trusting Thee can say: "Thy will Is
best"
Like birding meath the mothers downy
wing,
Content lie,
And nesting close find protection there
When harm is nigh,
Secure l rest though arrows swiftly fly.
Why need fear although sometimes about
me
Fall shadows deep?
IT'S but the closer folding of Thy wings
Safe guard to keep.
Teach me, dear Lord, yet nearer Thee to
creep.
Strange that we ever dare to doubt Thy love,
Which holds us dear.
And howsoever far from Thee we stray,
Still follows near
The perfect love that has no place for fear.

NEWS AND COMMENT.

IT is shown that, besides matrimony
and teaching, 81 different occupations
have been assumed by Vassar college
graduates.
The fright kind of wife, is said to
be necessary to mans success; yes,
and the right kind of husband is nee
essary to a married woman's happiness.
Miss GRACE DODGE, the founder of
the workingwomen's clubs of New
York, is tall and commanding in ap.
pearance and has the action of train
ed athlete.
MRS ALEXANDER BREMER, one of
the deputy factory inspectors of New
York, knows as much about machinery,
elevators and ventilating shafts, heat
ing, plumbing apparatus and sanitary
improvements, as any man on the force.
A CLEVER foreigner has said that in
France women are the interiors of men,
in England their equals, and in Ameri-
ca their superiors. An American, of
the gentler sex, not too modestly, says
women are mems equals anywhere on
earth.
THERE is plenty of material help for
the remote pagan and savage woman,
but the friendliness and forbearance
that goes out to the poor ignorant SOUL
lion, the helpless, untutored seamstress,
the timid saleswoman and the incom-
petent, inexperienced shop girl has no
more warmth of humanity in it than
the marble figure of Fate.
A DIRECTORY of woman's work of In
dianapolis alone shows them holding
the positions of pianists, violinists, elo-
cutionists, orators, physicians, evangel-
lists, artists, commercial travellers,
woodcarvers, teachers, stenographers,
typewriters, bookkeepers and mani
cures to say nothing of dressmakers,
milliners and storekeepers.
No GIRL can afford to fiirt, no matter
where she lives or who she is. 1t is a
blow at her own self respect; it is an
acknowledgment of ignorance, and ar
CUES the absence of dignity -woman's
greatest charm. Any girl who makes
the acquaintance of man in an irregu-
lar manner should know that in doing
so she gives him the right to insult her.
A reprobate will avail himself of this
privilege and the merest apology of a
man will have absolutely no respect for
her. Men hate common women, and
firts belong to this class.
A WIFE who knows many wives says
"Some husbands, when they get home
at night, tell their wives all about the
business of the day, and about their
bank account, and about the people
they met, and about what was spoken
of, and about every thing else. Other
husbands never tell their wives about
their doings during the day, never
speak of the state of their finances, and
never refer to their business in thci,
households The wife of such a hus
band knows nothing of his affairs, and
is apt to be upset by bad news or crush
ed by finding out that he is on the roaG
to ruin. From what l have known
through my acquaintance with MANI
families for long years, am ready t.
say that a husband should always tel
his wife about his business and abou
the affairs OF the day."

SAYINGS OF THE RAMS HORN
Sins never travel alone.

Sins never travel alone.
Anger always carries a sword.
God has never been able to do much
with coward.
You can't shut the devil up, but YOU
can shut him out.
Every good man is mediator be-
tween God and some sinner.
The man God sends never finds q
mountain range he can not cross,
If you want to get good aut of trou-
bles talk them over with the Lord.
When man is well satisfied with
himself God is disappointed with him.
The devil can sometimes brighten the
Lords sheep, but he can't hurt them.
The grandest aim that anyone can
have is a determination to live for
God.
The man who conquers himself fights
a, battle that is watched from Heaven.
Find out what man loves and YOU
can tell in the dark which way he il

of a man who is doing his best to die

not be satisfied with the doctrine
Of Stoicism, that when it becomes
no longer possible to carry out our pro-
gremme of life 1t is better to quit it
altogether. God has endowed us with
the capacity to prove by our own expo
rience that trouble Is not unmixed evil;
that, properly speaking, it is not evil at
all, but an agent for the broadening Of
our sympathies and the development of
our personal character. We must not
underestimate the powers of our own
nature: still less, the bountifIs love of
God, which, even when it moves in
mysterious ways, continually works
for our true blessedness.-Rev William
T. Herridge, in The Interior.

Fishes That Sing.

The scievia, in little six-inch club va
riety of the lagoons of Italy, sticks its
head above the water and sings dainty
song equal to that of some species OF
warbling birds; trigla hirundo (the sea
swallow is known to every fisherman
of the Danube and the Rhine by the
peculiar grunting noise it makes. Trigla
nolitane makes a whining noise like a
young puppy, while seivena gathers in
little bands to hold regular concerts, no
doubt originating the fable of the
sireps.-St Louis Republic.

West Point Death Masks.

In glass faced, black box hungin the
officers mess at West Point are two
death masks whose duplicates are not
known to exist in this country. One is
of Napoleon and the other is Of Fred
erick the Great. Commander Chadwick
of the navy secured them in London
some years ago and presented them to
the mess. To say that they are highly
priced is putting it very mildly. There
is ample proof for their authenticity, so
their startling lack Of resemblance to
the popular portraits of the dead leaders
Is all the more interesting.
Napoleon's cast is by far the better.
The features are natural and seem to be
in calm repose, while the face is thin
almost to emaciation. It's fine face,
but not the face of the Napoleon we have
been taught to know. Old Indian fight
ers say it is the exact counterpart of the
face of Black Hawk. Fredericks face ID
