COLLEGE WOMEN,
They Prefer Studies That Men arc Begin

They Prefer Studies That Men are Begin
ming to Neglect.
From the London Spectator.
1t is curious to note that the form Of educa-
ton which women seem Just now most anxious
to obtain is almost purely literary. At time
when men are loudly complaining that
Oxford and Cambridge have almost cut
themselves off from the active life Of the
country, and that by neglecting the practical
study Of law, medicine. surgery and technical
production they have resolved themselves
into what would be called at a continental
university a gigantic faculty Of arts"
women are crOwding to these discredited in
stitutions and eagerly taking up the aban-
doned 'arts" az the latest and most complete
form Of intellectual life open to them. While
men are beginning to assert tina. they can no
longer afford the luxury Of a university educa-
ton. that they must leave that either to the
men OF leisure or the future schoOlmasters and
teachers. women turn to 1t as perhaps the
most practical opening left to them. Perhaps
they are right. 1t is not impossible that in
time womens hands may have a great share
in the higher secretarial and educational work
OF the country. But there is no form Of opin-
ion more fuctuating than the views Of women
as to their place and possibilities in life.
The change of ideal from that of household
usefulness at the end of the last century to
elegant usefulness at the beginning OF the
present century has been succeeded by strong
bias toward literature and culture. 1t is not
impossible that this may in turn be replaced
by an experiment in women's capabilities in
the technical instruction which is coming on
the practical balance to the literary activity
OF the last few years. Some of the most fasci
mating, and not the least remuneratlve, of the
miner arts. such as wood carving, designing
and house decoration, are already taught with
singular success by women, and the de-
mand Of the county councils for lady instruc-
tors in household management, and even in
scientific dairy work, has already outstripped
the available supply. Here, then, is a fresh
opening for women's intellects when the liter
AIRY field becomes too crowded, which has in its
favor that it tends to place women once more
in control of the comforts and conveniences as
well as Of the social elegance Of daily life.

LEFT A STAIN ON HIS NAME.

Charges Against Arthur X. Blood, the
wealthy Lampblack Manufacturer.
Since the death of Arthur r. Blood, the
wealthy young inventor of lampblack, rumors
have been current about irregularities and
forgery in his business. 1t is said he took q
certificate of stock of the Crew Levick Com
pany, refiners of Philadelphia, of which firm
he was member, to the Courier Company,
Buffalo, N. Y, and had q copy autographed
exactly the same as the original. except that
1t was dated Warren, Pa, instead of Phila-
delphis- He took it to New York. it was said,
to his sellers of lampblack, Binney & Smith,
and had them float it on the market So, 900

Young Blood was formerly resident of Erie,
Pa, and the son Of Col. E. Z. Blood. He was
studious young man, fond of his books and
highly regarded. Lameness induced him to
indoor pursuits, though he took boys active
interest in all manly sports. He went to Cor

FROM tne Boston Herald
One of the strangest happenings Of the past
few days was the meeting, after Sunday morn
ing service, on the very steps Of Trinity
Church, OF two old friends, q local Presby-
terrain clergyman and professor of science in
one Of our New England universities.
'You here?" exclaimed the clergyman in
astonishment. "Whod have thought it?"
And what Of yourself" was the professor
quiet reply. "Hsve l no title to be surprised2"
mo doubt you have" said the Clergyman,
but the need OF explanation seems at least
greater ip your case than in mine. Ministers
are frequent visitors to Trinity, but scien-
lists"
"Ah!" interrupted the professor, "you are
thinking of our old talks about religion and
science. In those days used to think that
they had little or nothing in common. Now
know better. And why do l like to hear
Bishop Brooks? 1t is because 1 find in his
teaching all the fundamental truths that are
dear to me- At first he seemed to me to be
one who, profoundly versed in scientific
knowledge, had attained the power of his art
as a preacher by translating that knowledge
into theological terms. But reflection showed
the unsoundness of this view, and now / care
rather to think Of him as a seer who leaps by
kind of inspiration to the truths which we sci
entists find out by slow experiment and Iabori-
GUS reasoning processes.
For every scientific principle that 1 know
DiouOp OIOohe gives NE Il religious one and
when the difference Of terms is taken into ac-
count the two seem identical. Thus the late
pastor of Trinity is continually reminding me
that the doctrines once thought religious only
are also scientific in character and that there
Is q common ground on which both are true.
What-to take only single example-could be
more beautiful than the way in winch Bishop
Brooks teaches the interdependence of men,
and the truth that the largest life of each can
come only by the largest cooperation with the
life Of all? OF course you will ind this in Her.
bert Spencer, but who would expect to find it
also in Phillips Brooks?'
Then you think" observed the Presby-
terrain, 'that Bishop Brooks is leaning away
from religion in the direction of science?''
Nothing Of the kind" was the reply. '.But
/ do believe that as on the one hand he is aid |
ing the churches to deeper insight into their
unity, 80, on the other, con-
sciously or unconsciously, he is contributing
those last barriers that still keep science and |
religion apart" |

THE HALL ROOM BOARDER.

His Experience With . votary Of the Piano
and Vocal Exercises
From the New York Tribune.
She was Of uncertain age and thin and she
could not get her piano up the boarding house
stairs So the cartman rugged up q tackle
from the roof, put danger" cards on the side
walk and hoisted the dangling rosewood and
ivory in through the window. The hall bed
room boarder next door watched her arrival
with mingled horror and curiosity. I'm afraid
she means business, he remarked sententiously
to the hall bed room boarder at the other end
OF the hall. "Some people have pianos for
ornament, but nobody h'ists up pianner with
pulley unless they mean business"
That afternoon the piano tuner arrived, and
when he went away the owner started in, raw
ished the ears Of the hall bed room boarder
with steady stream Of melody from clock
till dinner time, and after that she hung to the
keys until Ills And every time she trod on

The next day the musical arrival devoted her
self to vocal exercises.

bed room boarder who had taken it in through
the key-hole. 'She stands off in the middle

"sOAPY" SMITHS CLOSE CALL.
The louisiana Kid" Went Cunning for
Him With Blood in His Eye.

The "Louisiana Kid" Went Cunning for
Him With Blood in His Eye.
Creede (Col.) Special to Denver News.
There was considerable excitement in Jim
town last evening, caused by gun play in
which several parties were interested and sew
eral others mixed up. A young man known in
the camp as "Lo uisiana Kid went into
'Soapy" Smiths place, and. after losing some
money on the games, made q big kick and re-
ceived blow over the head from the butt of a
six-shooter for his trouble and was fired out of
the place.
Thinking he had been abused he laid in wait
for Soapy's outfit and as soon as a couple of
them showed up he opened up on them with
his gun. They returned his fire and then the
shooting became general After the gun play
was over it was found that Soapy's manager
had both thumbs shot off, a ball through his
arm and a slight wound in the body. The
Louisiana Kid received three balls, one in
the head and the other two in tho body. He
then made good his escape and up to date
nothing has been heard OF him. Last seen Of
him he passed through Waterous and Banni-
gan's saloon and took up Wason's toll road
toward Wagon Wheel gap. Soapy's manager
was taken away from the camp on the train
today.
The affair is trying to be hushed up by the
tin horns and the gambling fraternity OF the
camp. There is q report current to the effect
that il the ARRAYS are not stopped all Of the
gamblers will be run out OF the camp. The
promiscuous shooting came very near causing
the death of one Of the peaceful citizens of the
camp. John Keeper, who is about to start
restaurant in the camp. was sitting in build
ing across the street and ball came through
the building and cut of both the rear legs OF
the chair he was sitting on and. caused him to
suddenly find himself on the floor very much
to his surprise and discomfort The report
that q man was hung on the school land this
evening caused nearly all the camp to rush
down there, but it turned out to be merely
fake to draw the people down there by the
saloonkeepers, and merely an ehigy Of man.

Mr.. Saunders, who is a member Of the park
ing commission. stated his views briefly but
emphatically in letter to Engineer Commits
sioner Rossell Said he: 1.-THE trees that are
now being cut back are full Of scale insects,
which will certainly destroy the trees if some
effort is not made to destroy the insects.
The practical method, heretofore quite effect
ual. is to reduce the branches so that the re-
naming portions may be covered with white
wash. Some years ago the trees on Sd street
northwest. from Pennsylvania avenue to NJ
street, were dying with this insect these were
cut an washed and are now healthy trees.
